THE Republican primaries in Bedford
county will occur or April 7lh, and the
County Convention will be held on the
Tuesday following. The fight between
Thropp and Reynolds, the candidates
for Congressional bonors, is now at
white heat, and there is no promise Of
its growing less intense as the day for
the primaries approaches Judging
from past elections il Bedford at which
Thropp was a candidate, We conclude
that Raynoljs>~ill prove sn easy via
nsr. Toe Thropp managers started
their campaiga With an unplrd )nabie
blunder that ought to lose their candi-
date hundreds of votes.

Famous F.oOd Recalled by Plans to Prevent
a Repetition

The famous JohnstOwn food of May
81, lSs9, will probably soon be recalled to
the public attention by an attempt 70 re-
forest a large portion Of the Conemaugh
watershed to prevent further damage
from freshets. The Johnstowh Water
company. which controls 5000 acres Of
n )untsin land. has asked the govern
ment Division of Forestry to devise
plan by which the area ca be recovered
with timber and the tho rapid run-oif of
the rainfall prevented.
The region is peculiarly liable to fresh
cts, owing to its geological character and
the removal of its timber. The now his
tOric catastrophe, which carried away
sL00a,0e9 in property and half as many
lives ss the battle of Gettysburg, was but
an exaggerated instance of many similisr
floods. This tendency has been ineress-
ed by logging of the timher aud clearing
numerous farms, - that the rainfall flows
quickly from the surface, causing high
water at one time and the drying up Of
springs later.
The Johnstown Water company has
Dougnl up many OF these farmS and torn
down their buildings, and now wishes to
expedite theiI return to the forest The
traci is in sandstone region, much
broken, with valleys averaging $50 feet
in depth. The timber consists OF hem
lock, oak, locust aud ash, with some
beech and poplar. The openings are
from % TO 50 acres.
As soon as the weather permits ]. w.
Tourney, government superintendent of
tree planting. and another working-plsn
expert of TIE government Division OF
Forestry, will examine the region and
decide on plan Of reforestation. In the
ciearings. tree planting viii be required.
IN attempt will probably be made to in
crease the stand over the whole area by
skillfully assisting natural reproduction.
Protection from fire and cattle will also
be required. The expense will be shared
by the government and the water com
pany, the former furnishing the expert
work and, possibly. some Of The material

Another Big Coal Company.

Somerset county is TO have another ex-
tensive coal mine 10 operation in the
near future, in which people well known
in Joinstown are interested. The terri
tory to be worked includes about one
thousand acres and was purchased from
J. NJ. Murdock q Brother, of this city,
for consideration which has not been
made public. Il lies near Milford. about
three miles from the stone quarries
which the Messrs. Murdock have been
operating for number Of years.
The persons intere led in the new
operation are Charles Fl. Snppes, of this
city; Telford Lewis. who was until re-
Gently employed as a mining engineer
with tbs Cambria steel Company. and
the latter's father. formerly of Johns
town, but who recently resigned as
S Iperintendent of the coal mines at
Cokeville, near Blairsville, after some
twenty years of service in that capacity
The land lies on the Somerset & Cam
bria Branch of the B. & o., between
Somerset and lockwood, and about five
miles distant from the main line of the
B. q o. Active operations are scheduled
TO begin this week, and Telford Lewis is
to be the general manager.
As the mine is a new one, it cannot be
worked to its full capacity from the start,
but ths intention is to ship not less than
three hundred tons per day during the
first year, at the end of which. and per
haps sooner, daily shipment Of from
seven hundred to one thousands tons
will be made. The points Of shipment
are New York, Philadelphia. aud Balti-
more, ard members of the new Company
say they have market for all the coal
they can mine and ship.
There are two veins of good coal on
the tract. and experts say that it will
yield not less than twelve thousand tons
per acre.
Application has been made at Harris
burg for charter for the new concern,
which is to be known as the Lewis

Opinion on the Tnhsritapos Tax Law.

HARRISBURG, March The Attorney
Generals department rendered an opin-
ion to-day TO Auditor General MeCauley
on the question as 10 whether Iilegitimate
sons, whose father married their mother
after their birth, could claim exemption
frcm the collateral Inheritance tax.
The Auditor-Genersl says that while
the act of 1857 undoubtedly operates to
legitimate the persons for whose bene fit
it was intended, it cannot be construed to
change the fact that they were not born
in lawful wedlock. and therefore they are
not entitled tn the exemption in the col
lateral inheritance tax act.

Our IN Bedford county, SAYS the Har-
risburg Telegraph, the Republicans are
trying to FIX the time ia which nan
can become a Republican entitled 10
hOnors from the party. There ought
TO be no difficulty in doing that A
man is Republican just a. socn as he
renounces the devil Of Democracy and
all his works and puts his shoulder 10
the wheel 10 help along the Republican
cause. The question arises over the
candidacy Of Hon John NJ. Reynolds.
of Bedford, for Congressional honors
on the Republican ticket Mr- R4y-
n1lds was an official under the Cleve-
land administration, and a very good
one, being one of the few men who at
tended to the interests Of the old sol
diers, but when his party turned irorn
the old landmarks and embraced fanas-
ical tenets, he left it and turned in
heart and soul for Mckinley for Presi-
dent, even going on the stump, where
he did good work for the Republican
party. Mr.. Reynolds now aspires TO
the nomination fer Congress, and there
are some who say he is too sudden, 81
TO speak. Aud ia their opposition 10
Mr.. Reynolds Ia. Sc same people argue
that he ought t. give way TO some other
candidate who has been longer in The
party. The only ether candidate for
Republican Congressisra al honors ia the
county is a man who the last tine he
ran for Congress failed TO carry his own
Republican county of Redford by about
thousand, and vino would have been
defeated II the other counties in the
district had net pulled him o0t of the
hole. The fact that the Frosty Sons
Of Thunder in the Rel ublican party
in Somerset county are disposed TO ia
voE Mr.. Reynolds ought to settle who
shall be the candidate, bu; such nom-
i1ation should not rest on the simple
question of how long a man has been
