Element duties. 1t then bought from
the government, at $500 an acre, $780,
600 additional acres of the three and a
half million tract, but on these it was
required to perform settlement duties.
The land company made a deposit
of $4,000 with the government when
the contract was made, which is to be
held and applied in payment Of the
last $4,000 acres earned by the COM
pany. The conditions of the contract
require that it shall settle twenty set
tiers on free homesteads in each town
ship and twelve additional settlers on
the lands purchased by it,, before en-
titled to patents. Two-fifths of this
number were to be settled within two
years Of the date of contract.
The record of homestead entries in
the department at Ottawa, said the
minister, showed that more than the
requisite number has been settled UP
to date, and the government has given
patents for about 100000 acres to the
company, it having paid $4,000 to
the government. Of this $4,000 was
scrip. This payment is in addition to
the original deposit of $4,000 held by
the government.
Last year, the minister said, he had
been doubtful as to the company be-
| ing able to fill the conditions of the
| bargain. Now he had no doubt that
| 1t would. AS a matter of fact the gov
| eminent has so far found $4,000,
and the country has been we'll settled,
where previously there was not a set
tier to be seen. The company has
been of immense benefit to the north
west. The department has sent an
| inspector to the northwest to see
whether the settlement duties had
J been performed, and everything has
| been found satisfactory.

MOVEMENT TO
REBUILD DAM

The people of.Sunbury will without
doubt be highly pleased to learn that
there is a movement contemplated
leading to the rebuilding of the dam,
which was 80 badly damaged by the
| ice and high water.
Even with the rains Of the past few
days three rows of timbers, about two
| and one-half feet in depth, of the
Reading bridge are and have been ex-
posed for some time and with the
wator still falling as the weather get
warmer more of the cribbing will be
exposed and the railroad company
realizes that repairs to the cribbing
Will have to be mado within Mt least
six months time.
With the water gradually receding
tho sewers emptying into the river are
exposed, some of them to distance of
three feet, and with the advent of
warm weather if prompt action is not
taken an epidemic of disease will
surely prevail and there is no telling
what the result or where tho end
would be-
Realizing that something must be
done an effort will be made to secure
the sum of money required to rebuild
the dam by popular subscription and
everybody will be given the chance of
showing their appreciation of Sun
bury's formerly boasted beautiful riv-
er. The officials of the railroad com.
panies will be called upon and are ex-
pected to give literally as it will be
necessary to do one thing or the other,
repair their bridge piers or financially
aid the plans for a Hew dam. North
cumberland, Selinsgrove and the other
nearby towns will be asked to contri-
butte and if every body gets "the
spirit" the new dam is assured. The
argument has been advanced that the
railroad companies would hesitate to-
ward contributing toward new dam
and instead to save their piers would
concrete them, but when taking into
consideration that to concrete their
piers would cost from fifty to one hun
dIed thousand dollars it seems certain
that they would rather give half this
sum towards the dam believing that
the cribbing Of their piers would be
protected.
The plans so far formulated are not
yet complete but the movement has
started and the people back OF it are
sincere in their intentions and plans
will soon be completed and made
known. -Sunbury Item.

Camp Site in DoBbt

The question now being discussed in
National Guard circles is, "Will there
be permanent camping ground select
ed for the Guards use under the act
of 1902" This act created a commits
sion consisting of Adjutant General
Stewart, Auditor General Harden
bergh, State Treasurer Harris, Major
General Charles Miller, Brigadier
Generals Goblin, Wiles and Schall The
commission was voted $50, 900 to sell
ect and purchase a site for permanent
camp containing not less than 300 acres
nor more than $50 acres, at an average
price per acre Of not more than 800.
Before the purchase may be con-
summated the Governor, as Command
erin Chief OF the National Guard,
must approve of the location. size and
price. Up to the present time the
Commission has held bat one meeting,
and that at Gettysburg, going over the
field to ascertain whether an available

irving at any definite conclusion. The
matter is as yet in allegiance, and no
time has been fixed for another meet
ing Of the Commission.
Adjutant General Stewart said last
week that he had not heard that the
project of State camp has been ab-
andoned because the United States
contemplates permanent camp at Mt.
Gretna, and did not care to discuss
the matter because, as he said, every
thing is indefinite. The action of Con-
gress in refusing to consider and dis
pose of the permanent camp site mat
ter at the session that closed last week
may have the effect of causing the
Pennsylvania Commission to look
around for site. There have Teen
offered Gettysburg, Mt. Gretna and
Somerset. and there is said to be a nice
site in the Juniata Valley that might
be secured. but until the Commission
holds meeting there will be nothing
definite in the matter.

REMOVING THE
OFFICES

An important Improvement is on
foot at the works of the Dsnville Stove

braces the removal of the offices to an
other part of the plant.
When the works were built, some
twenty years ago, the Office was in
stalled at the eastern extremity of the
plant. The location was soon found
to be open to objection not only be-
cause of the insufficiency of light, but
also because of the unsanitary condi-
tions prevailing. The entire spot orig
inally was swamp and with every
wet spell the water accumulates about
the foundations and under the build
ing. With every flood, too, the Office
is exposed to danger and during the
high water in March, the rooms were
flooded to the depth of several feet
and many valuable books and papers
were destroyed or badly defaced

The Reading Railroad in AT.

The "BloomsburR Daily of April
4th republishes a number of News
Items, etc., originally printed in the
Columbian Democrat" of Blooms
burg. September 4th, I847, among
which we find the following item:
THE Reading Railroad amount
of business on the Reading Railroad
the most perfect road of the kind in
the United States-exceeds that of any
other railroad in the world. Besides
passenger cars. there are III constant
use seventy five locomotives and 4, 200
coal cars "
The comparison between I847 rs per
above article and the present time is
certainly interesting.
The article states there were in con-
slant use 70 locomotives; the annual
report OF October last gives the num-
ber Of locomotives as 927, of which 5l4
were freight and coal engines. The
4, 200 coal cars was considered large
number; the last report gives the num-
Der OF coal cars as "a, l29; the increase
in numbers seems great. and when it
is considered that the cars mentioned
we're the old styl four wheel hoppers,
holding about 6 tons and that the
present cars have capacity of from
30 to so tons. the increase seems
enormous.
1t is noticeable that the writer claims
that the Reading is 1.-The most perfect
road OF the kind in the United States. "
This assertion would be challenged to-
day in some respects by several of the
large railroad systems, but they would
have to acknowledge that the Read
ing System stands pre-eminent in the
arrangement. equipment and speed OF
its Passenger Trains
