Filtered and Unfltered Water

The water of the North Branch, Sat
urday, which was a mixture OF mud,
coal dirt and oil, was fair rival of
the traditional Schuylkill water. which
much of the time is said to be too dirty
to bathe in. 1t is at such times as this
that filter plant Is a boon that makes
life worth living in IA Pennsylvania
town that is Obliged to take its drink
ing water from a river polluted as are
the Susquchanna and Schuylkii!.
Our own plant never more thorough
ly demonstrated its efficiency than in
the present emergency. Notwithstand-
lug the foul condition OF tie river Sat
urday the water drawn from the hyd-
| rants was of the clear and crystal va
riety that is associated with the bub-
bling springs on the mountain side.
Many people were impressed with
/ the excellent results achieved by the
| filter plant, among them being Nj. II.
| Schram i'll whose sto e window were
| displayed two large jars, one filled
with uufiltered water as it was pump
ed from the river into the settling
tank and the other with clear water
as it issued from the filter plant. The
contrast was most striking ana doubt
less served for the first time to awak-
en- many persons to full realization
of what is accomplished by our filter
plant, its Importance as an agency
for promoting health and the prestige
that it must give to our town in the
est imation of strangers.

Retaining Wall for River Bank.

The County Commissioners and the
Borough Council jointly contemplate
an improvement in connection with
the rebuilding of the river bridge
which will add much to the appear
ance of things and be of real service
TO the water works.
This is nothing less than a huge re-
tanning wall extending from below the
water works on line with the rear
of that plant TO the wing wall of the
river bridge. On the river bank at the
right hand side of the approach to the
bridge there is small space belong
ing to the county. A portion of this
is occupied by an old shed while the
rsa..aiAIo. in SUMMER Is OVergrown
with thistles. The spot altogether is
quite an eyesore and to get rid of 1t
the County Commissioners have de-
cided to cooperate with the Borough
i'll building a high retaining wall as
above described and filling up on IA
level with the street all the space be-
tween the approach TO the bridge and
the Water Works. The County Com
missioners will do the work in connec-
tion with the rebuilding of the new
wIngwall for the bridge which will be
erected to extend westward along the
front of the land owned by the county.
The Borough will in all probability
take up the work where the county
stops ami complete the wall. Some
thing must be done to protect the
water works from flood and ice. Dur
ing the recent high water the rear
wall was very badly damaged by the
bombardment it received from the ice
cakes. There is only one means OF pro-
lection that can be suggested as at all
feasible and that is retaining wall,
which under the circumstances will
have TO be pretty big one, reaching
as high as the windows of the water
works.

Notwithstanding the depth attained

many roads that still are muddy there

ploughing and highways which for

that the ground is fit for ploughing

ENLARGING THE
CLOCK FACTORY

Things are prospering at the clock
factory. The Rempe self winding
clock is now safely past the expert
! mental stage the factory IS equipped
with the most modern labor-saving
machinery III the market; the novel
time piece is increasing in popularity :;
the factory is turning out clocks to It's
full capacity and yet has over three
thousand dollars worth of orders Oh
its books untitled.
Thus within year past Danville
has secured at least one new industry,
which is destined to expand assuming
proportions little dreamed of when
the enterprise was launched. The
floor space of 4, 900 square feet, taking
in one of half of the large brick ware
house on Railroad street, which it was
thought, would be sufficient, has al
ready proven inadequate and the com
paDy has decided to enlarge.
The entire warehouse will hereafter
be occupied by the clock company
The western half of the building oc-
cupied by the Welliver Hardware
Company is being vacated and on
April 1st, TrumboweI e Werkheiser
will begin the work of remodeling
that portion of the warehouse into a
building suitable for a clock factory
a new floor will have to be laid and
the wall broken for number of win
dows TO correspond with the other
half of the structure.
This improvement is in line with
the recent installation of automatic
machinery. which virtually doubled
the capacity of the plant. It's effect
will be to relieve the congested and
overcrowded condition of things which
holds up work in many ways and
makes it impossible to operate the
factory to anything like good ad-
vantage.
