After much hard work, the commit

great undertaking Of visiting every

especially pleasing to those who started

Evening to Consider the Matter.
Prof. A. J. Davis, principal Of the
Clarion State Normal, appeared before
the Reynoldsville town council last
night and asked for right-of-way
through this borough for an electric
railway. Council did not take action on
the matter last night, but will hold a
special session tonight to consider the
request for right-of-way. We under
stand that the company back OF Mr..
Davis has one or two electric lines In
operation now, and that IL is their in
tention to build line through from
Clarion tn Dubois, and eventually ex-
tend the line on east from Dubois and
also connect Clarion and Franklin. Mr..
Davis says the company will begin
building the road as soon as they secure
the right-of-ways and the weather will
permit.
Unless the company changes their
present plans the line will be built di-
rect to Dubois and will not run to Big
Soldier, Sykesvile and Eleanora, as our
people had hoped a line would be built.
Council will be slow about granting
this right.of-way, as there is such a
good opening here for something better
for the town than the line Mr.. Davis
