Very Useful Tool

A very useful tool, and one that
is destined to become an important
factor in the mechanical world is now
being manufactured at the Hooley &
Tierney foundry.
The device consists of drill, anvil,
block and holder combined and is in
tended for the use of blacksmiths, tin
smiths and small shops where the pur-
chase of separate tools can be elimin-
ated.
1t will be found particularly useful
to farmers in making repairs on farm
machinery and its value is much in
creased inasmuch as it is portable and
can be carried about with ease. 1t
takes the place of four separate tools
and the retail price, 5000 brings it
within the reach of everybody.
The machines are being built for ".
l.. Gouger. who in turn is selling
county rights. Three of them were
finished at the foundry yesterday and
are very neat in appearance.

SlOOO FOR 2
WATER WORKS

The Council met in special session
Friday to receive plans and specifi-
| cat ions for the undcrgrade roadway at
A strart, which the Philadelphia &
Reading Railway Company was ex-
pectei to present but the railroad Off
| cials were not pre- cut. Pr sident Davis
| was in the chair and all members of
| Council responded to roll call Messrs
vastine, Reifsnyder. Swank. Boyer,
Fenstermacher, Goeser, Montgomery.
DIETRICH, David Gibson. Lloyd and
JOSEPH Gibson.
] Mr.. Goeser, when the consideration
of the underarade crossing matter was
under way offered resolution to no.
tify the Philadelphia g. Reading Rail
way Company to put in writing their
proposition, and Burgess Pursel sug-
gested having a meeting of the Coun-
cilmen. railroad officials and trolley
people next Wednesday night, prior to
the regular meeting, so that intelligent
and definite action can be taken at the
regular meeting. The clerk was in
| structed to communicate with the rail-
road people to try to have them get
| their representatives here next We'd
| nesday.
A communication of Borough En-
gineer George f. Keefer to the Board
of Water Commissioners was read ad-
vocating the building of a slope or re-
tanning wall from the north abutment
of State highway bridge to the Water
Works. For 300 foot wall with foot
bottom and ~ foot top and an eleva-
tion corresponding with the base course
of the Water Works building, footing
of concrete feet by IS inches to be
| feet below the natural surface, the
estimated cost is SO, 200. This includes
the eounty's share, or the cost would
be 81 600 without the county's share.
The estimated cost of a retaining wall
of the same length with s foot bottom
and 3 foot top is $4,000.
Superintendent Keefer of the Water
Works. urged the need of protection
and asked for an allowance of at least
81 200 to start the work. A motion of
Mr.. Fenstermaeher to allow the Water
Commissioners to spend $1,000 on a
wall to protect the bank that is likely
to be carried away by the water was
carried after considerable debate, all
voting for it except Mr.. Lloyd. The
plan is to protect the Danville part of
the bank and let the county side 90 for
| the present.

Here's a Good Record

The one solitary prisoner in the
Montour county Jail must be having a
lonely time of it indeed. Sheriff
Maiers yesterday stated that he has in
custody now just one man out of all
Montour county aud unless the tend
ency to law breaking becomes strong
er very suddenly this year will be a
record one for the small number of
prisoners.
The fact that only one prisoner is in
the Jail is especially significant at this
time. With the improvements now
making being carried on by humorous
foreigners it would be but natural if
there were an unusual lot of disorder.
Danville citizens and the residents
generally Of Montour county can be
gratified over this demonstration of
the peaceful, law-abiding nature of

TO IMPROVE THE
TROLLEY ROAD

The Columbia and Montour trolley
road is to be extensively improved and
new power plant that will occupy a
50x50 foot building will be erected at
Berwick. In it will be installed 200
kilowatt generator and n $50 horse
power engine. 1t will be just an aux
iliary plant. A $50 kilowatt rotary
converter will be stationed at Willow
Grove, where now there is 100 kilo-
watt converter. and the new one will
make it possible to continue operation
even if accident should befall one
machine This work will be done
within six months.
A charter has been granted for the
Berwick belt line, an extension of the
Columbia and Montour, which will
reach Nescopeck as sooD as the bridge
is up. 1t will run up Market street,

The mining town of Douglas, Ari-
zona. ON the southwestern frontier,
which doubled it's population last year
and now has 5000 people, mostly men,
is to have Y. M. O. A. club house
costing $40, 900. 1t will help to relieve
the hard conditions of life in this raw
town, where the saloon is the popular
meeting place. The Ell Paso aud South
western Company has recently offered
$5, 600 toward this building, and one
of the smelter companies has contribut-
ed an equal sum, and it is expected
that at least $4,000 will be secured
from business men and miners in tin Q
camp. Great interest has been man.
ifested in the project by the men, VII O
demand a popular headquarters and a
chance to spend their spare time in de-
cent surroundings. O. g. Titus, a
Topeka, Kan. man who has been Sec
retary there for six years is to shape
the new organization. Mr.. Titus is
the kind of man who ought to make
the Association popular place in
such town. Before becoming an AS
ISOLATION secretary he had general
experience as messenger boy, boot
black, farm hand, student. newspaper
reporter, aud policeman and deputy
sheriff. He thoroughly understands
the conditions of life in Western
mining camp, which that Association
will be expected to meet.
