With several mass meetings recently
breaking the monotony of the political
quiet IL is still fact that the present
campaign has been one of the least
strenuous in the history of Montour
county. What prominent local poll
tioian has to say in explanation of the
situation is interesting.
"It is quiet on the surface" he re-
marked, "but the work is being done
Notwithstanding. The quiet work is
the kind that is effective. 1t is the
kind called for by the State Committee
and for fact every man Of my party

more actual work than the arrange.
ment for torch light parades. brass
band music and stirring speeches. The
old methods are still INDUCED in to
some extent, but it is doubtless true
that the modern form of work is grad
ually supplanting the other and has
made certain and definite results.
1t is thought that Montour county
will poll good vote this year. At
least 5000 ballots are expected to be
cast.

number of owners Of property abutting

constant menace to life and limb in

IMPROVEMENTS
OF D. |. & v.

The desire for improvement is 80
general in Danville that even the rail.
roads Of the city are getting in line.
The Delaware. .Laokawanna 81 Western
is to begin at once on extensive i'm
proveme ats all along their right Of
way here. This will be welcome news
to all citizens. Arrangements for the
work to be done were made yesterday,
when Division Roadmaster scofeld
was in Danville for that purpose.
The Arst task to be taken up will be
started right away today. It is the
placing OF temporary walks over the
canal ON Mill street. Two cars of
oinder will arrive here today and Con.
tractor D. J Rogers will begin plao-
ing it on the street to form, q pave.
ment. he having been given the con.
tract for the job. He will make safe
and serviceabte walk 81 it and the
cinder will do service throughout the
winter, but III the spring substantial
concrete pavements will beila,d.,
Probably the next work-to-- be start.
ed will be the laying OF Ave-ineh rails
at the Mill street crossing. This will
be done to make it possible to pave be-
tween the rails of the D. L. g W.
track. A Sunday probably will be
taken for the ork in order not to in
terfere with the running of trains.
The largest job, for part OF which
Mr.. Rogers also holds the contract.
will be in the line of general improve
ments at the D. L. 8 W. railroad sta
tion. This work also will be done this
Fall and when it is completed the ap.
pearance Of the station will be not
little improved. The plan is to fill in
and raise the surface all around the
station. Crushed stone will be placed
on the ground and Contractor Rogers
will roll it into hard, firm bed that
not only will look good but will make
a substantial driveway and platform
around the station. No delay will be
experienced in the work, which is to
be finished rs soon as possible.
A railroad station being the first
thing noticed by strangers on entering
a city, any improvement OF q local one
should find great public appreciation.

Delegates In the CITY.

The Danville g. Bloomsbury trolley
line afforded many Of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union members
who have heen attending the State
Convention at Bloomsbury an oppor-
tunity to visit In this city and yester.
day ladies wearing the embiamatio
white ribbons Of the Union were fre.
quently encountered here. The con.
venienoes of the trolley line is being
demonstrated every day and the travel
keeps up without intermission.
Many Of the delegates who visited
here yesterday would probably not
have come had they been obliged to
use the trains and thus limit them
selves to special times. but the ability
to come or go almost at will by troll.
ley mskes the new system great boon.
This phase Of the situation seems to
appeal strongly to business aud com

the many other passengers are inoreas.
