down for the past week, and the early
risers have missed the morning whistle
greatly. The factory expects to be run
ming again tomorrow.
George Holeman has finished boal
building al the CASTOR yards for the time
being, but it is probable that work will
be resumed later in the season. The
Warren Lumber Co., at Grunderville,
has also suspended work at its boat
yards, but is running the barge yard yet
at the full capacity. The demand for
coal flats has slackened considerably at
Pittsburg, and it is likely all the yards in
this section will suspend for awhile.
Last Friday saw the completion of
one of the biggest lumber jobs ever con-
tracted in Potter county, it being the
contract of the Grandin Lumber Com
pany, ofTidloute, Pa, and involved the
removal Of about % 500, 900 feet of hem
lock from lands near Harmontown. The
superintendent of the mammoth job is
Il. U. q reenlee, of Genesee, and the job
with the b. Il s. expired. After the re-
moval of about 100000 feet from lands
near West Bingham no more timber of
any account Will remain in Northsrn
Potter, where, 25, or even 10, years ago
stood millions and millions of feet.-Pot-

Attention is directed TO j. G. Scow-
denis new ad. in this issue, and to the
fact that he is better prepared than ever
before to supply the wants of the people
in the matter of stoves especially design
ed for saving big gas bills, now that we
are burning the fuel by meter For COOK
ing purposes he has the very best ranges
that are on the market to-day, and as
you will be obliged soon to turn on a lit
tie gas for heating purposes these cool
mornings it will be well before making
changes, to have look at his heaters,
which are of the latest and most approved
patterns. In all other kinds of hardware,
implements, ETC., Mr.. Scowden can save
you from ten TO fifteen per cent, which is
no small object Try him.
1t is lucky that the strike in the meat
trades comes at season when vegetables
are plentiful and when most physicians
recommend diminished consumption
of meat. 1t is fact that hundreds of
millions OF people in the far east live
without tasting meat at all, and yet com.
westerners in yigor ard capacity for la.
Dor. The Japs, for example, live large
ly on rice and other vegetable matter and
get little or no meat. They eat dried fish,
but would be better off without it. Fore
ed abstinence from part of their meat
rations will do no harm to a large class
of people. The harm caused by the arrest
of the supply of meat is substantial in
that it raises unduly the price to the la
boring man, who feels that he needs meat
in order to perform his full task.
On recent night carnival aggregs,
ton closed its engagements at Brockway
vile with a special attraction. 1t had
been quietly announced that after the
regular performances genuine Midway
representation of the oriental dance
known as the "hoochekoochie" would
lie introduced for the delectation of men
only. And "men only" soon filled the
canvas tent each patron paying % cents
dancer appeared and attempted to give
the whrling muscle dance of the inn
modest East, but the fact Immediately
dawned upon the villagers that hoax
had been perpetrated, says the Bradford
Era. The dancer, instead of being
dreamy eyed, athletic Caucasian girl, was
an angular ugly man in disguise. Then
the row began. The management sought
safety IN flight and succeeded in reaching
the timber. The audience tore down the
tent, at late hour, and after much ex-
cited comment departed from the scene,
sadder and perhaps wiser. In addition
to its other unpleasant features, the affair
has become local scandal and several
indignant but respectable wives have
suspicious that are not at all comforting
to their husbands
