THE SCIENTIFIC FOOD 90.

The allotment OF stock of the Sci
entific Food Co for Bloomsbury was
fixed at $4,000. This was all taken
at once, and by special request the
allotment was raised to $1,000. No
more will be sold here. The main
Office is at Scranton, and the works
are IN Bloomsburg. The store house
at Irondale has been leased for six
months with an option to buy at the
end of that time. The building is
being put in shape for occupancy, and
the machinery and supplies were or
dered in New York last week. II
satisfactory arrangements for shipping
can be made, it is likely that the
works will remain permanently at
Irondale, otherwise another location
will be selected. 1t is reported that
the Land Improvement Co. has Of
fered site along the d. L. & w.
road. This concern has fatterlng
prospects, ard it is expected to be a
paying investment. The chief pro-
duct of this factory will be an article
called "cofo," which is substitute for
coffee. People who cannot drink
coffee, and there are many OF them,
find COLO very agreeable and benehc-
ial Large quantities of it are used
in hospitals. The company is capl-
talized at $5oo,ooo but, as in Blooms
burg, only small blocks are sold in
any one place, so that as large a num-
ber OF people as possible may become
interested in the product of the fac
tory. The machinery is expected here
this week.

THE SITE SELECTED.
For Power House OF Electric Railway.

The electric railway is gradually
assuming reality phase. The latest
move in the line of progress was the
selection of site for the erection of
the power house. The location is
only short distance above town, on
the vacant plot of ground, which, un-
til few years ago was occupied by
the Neal furnace. The contract for
the various materials necessary for
building and also the contract for the
building have been let. Charles
Reimard of town was awarded the
latter. The plans, which are now in
the possession of Mr.. Reimard, call
for two buildings 9ox9o feet. They
will join and will be sheltered with
one roof, The brick, 100000 of
which will be required, will be fur
nished by William Furguson. The
contract for the lime was awarded to
c. M. Creveling. Work on the build
ings has already been commenced
and will be hurried along as rapidly
as possible.

A long and useful life in the service
of God came to a close on Thursday
morning last when the Rev. Gideon
Day, a venerable member of the
Central Pennsylvania Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, died
at his nome in Riverside. The death
summons came on the eighty-ffth
anniversary of his birth. Since 1889,
when he entered the Baltimore, he
has been actively engaged in the
ministry of the gospel. He joined
the Central Pennsylvania conference
in IS45, and up to short time be-
fore death continued to preach religion
which is the most effectual mode OF
bearing the numerous ills of life.
The funeral, which was largely
attended, was held Saturday morning
at 1920 o'clock. Services were con-

VOL. 36.
THE PARK.

More than twenty-five years ago the
land on Seventh street was purchased
by the Town Council foi public park.
For some years itlay open as COM
mon. Then it was improperly leased
to an athletic association, and fenced
in, and no one derived any benefit
from it but the lovers of base ball,
and they constitute small portion of
the tax payers OF Bloomsburg. A few
years ago the fence was removed, and
recently number of young trees were
planted around the Park by the Civic
Club. A good sod had formed, and
the Park was in fair way to grow in
to what it was intended for, a place
for the use and benefit of the whole
people.
1t seems to be the almost unani-
nous opinion that the leasing of it to
the Wallace circus was mistake. In
fact the feeling was SO strong that if it
had not been too late an injunction
would have been asked for. The
ladies OF the Civic Club took the
matter up, and entered their protest,
but the lease had been made, and an
injunction could not restrain the Town
Council from doing what had already
been done. Two rings were plowed
up, and the sod cut up by the wheels
of the heavy wagons and the hoofs Of
the horses. 1t will take some time to
get the Park back in as good con-
dition as it was before. 1t is high
time that something be done to make
the Park an attractive spot. Trees
should be planted, walks laid out,
eventually band stand erected, and
the whole plot beautified. All this
can be done by little outlay each
year. No doubt the Civic Club would
assist, and private-subscrptions made
toward this object. Let the work
be begun now and it will not be many
years before this can all be accom-
plished. By all means it should never
again be permitted to be used by
circus.
The council are not much to blame
in this matter, all things considered.
The park has been a neglected spot
for a quarter of century. 1t has
not been made park at all, but
merely ball ground. The council,
believing that the circus would not
come here unless this ground could
be procured, and also believing that
the town would be benefited by the
crowd that the show would bring
and also believing that no great dam
age would be done to the park in its
present condition, agreed to lease
the ground. If the people do not
want it so used they should petition
the Council to improve the grounds.
On Arbor Days let trees be planted
by individuals, and as soon as such
an interest is manifested by the public
We have no doubt that neither the
present nor any future Council will
permit any use of the park that will in
any way injure it.

Saturday evenings attendance at
the Friendship Fire Cos fair and
festival was very large considering
the unfavorable weather. A good
sized delegation came down from
Berwick, and other surrounding
towns were represented. Owing to
the numerous articles that are still
unsold il is difficult to tell just what
the company has realized from the
fair, but the profits will amount to
at least five hundred dollars. An
auction sale to close out the remain
ing articles will be held this even
ing.

The strike among the miners at
Centralia is causing a daily exodus
of people from that town, and, as a
result, the business men of that
place are suffering. An adjustment
of the difficulty is apparently as far
away as the day the strike was de-
clared.
