PEOPLES RURAL
TELEPHONE SYSTEM

A rural telephone system, the dream
of farmers hereabouts, and an accom-
plished fact in many sections of th'
great West, is just now looming up il
Montour county in q way that prom
ises tangible results in the very neal
future.
A rural telephone system for thi.
section was exploited some three
months ago, bat since then nothing
has been heard concerning it, although II
the promoters we're by no means idle.
Yesterday Tracy 8. Pettijohn, a rep
resentative of the Peoples Telephone
: Construction Company. which is rep.
resented in Danville by Charles v.
Amerman. was in this city prepared
to actively push the sale of stock.
Mr.. Pettijohn has been very success
full in installing rural telephone sys-
TENS in the West. One of these sys-
TENS at Flora, Ill. embraces portion
of three counties and has a member
ship OF nearly a thousand. The Peo-
ple's Telephone System of Southern
Illinois is largely the outRrowth of
Mr.. Pettijohn's energy and persever-
ance.
The speciality of the Peoples Tele-
phone Construction Company is the
promoting, building and equipping Of
rural telephone exchange systems. In
building up such system much hard
work and no little opposition is en-
countered. 1t is customary to visit the
farmers in their homes and endeavoI
to interest them in the establishment
of telephone system. The idea is to
knit the farming community together
by installing a phone in each, or near
ly every farm house. At the present
day telephones are not luxury they
are necessity. annihilating distance,
saving time and incidentally saving
money, as we'll as obviating annoy
ances. anxiety and danger.
The system to be built in Montour
County will be known as the Peoples
Telephone System. 1t will be purely
a cooperative affair. The stock, which
will be at an exceedingly reasonable
figure, just sufficient to cover the cost
of building, will be disposed of ex-
clusively to the patrons. who will be-
come the owners of the system and
who will have an opportunity to offset
part of their purchase by furnish
ing poles and labor during the con-
stTuction of the system.
The idea is bound to be popular with
progressive farmers. Mr.. Pettijohn
stated yesterday that he has already
oanvassed a small part of Montour
oonntv and has sold cnnsidey4hla stock
He is much encouraged and he regards
the outlook as a bright one. He stated
that while nothing was finally deoid.
ed upon, Washingtonville might be
established as center. whence line
would be run to Strawberry Ridge,
thence on to Exchange and probably
eastward to White Hall. Another line
may proceed from Washingtonville
along the State road to California and
thence southwark to Limestoneville.
If the project succeeds various other
lines will be installed and the system
extended through adjoining counties.
The rural system will connect with
the long distance lines and the farmers
by paying the charges can talk to any
of the neiehboring towns. The United
Telephone Company has already singifi
ed its willingness to connect with the
rural system.

ployed in loading iron bars on car.
A 3inch round bar. weighing about
800 pounds had been weighed. and in
removing it from tile scales one end
fell on the unfortunate mans foot,
badly crushing the instep.
Mr.. Carodisky was taken to his home
on North Mill street and DR.. Paulei

p. L. Brewery Remodeled.

The p. L. Brewery. this city, is un.
dergoiug improvements which not only
increase it's capacity and add to iti
facilities for doing work, but also
greatly improve its appearance archi
tecturally.
The P. L.. Brewery enjoys an extern
sive patronage, which keeps the plant
in steady operation working to its full
capacity. 1t is always desirable to
keep the beer in stock as long as posi-.
BILE, as the greater the age the better
the quality. In order to be in posi-
tion to hold the beer in the vaults as
long as desirable the P. L. Company
decided to increase the plants cap
aoity.
This is being done by supplement-
ing the large 400 horse power poiler
with new one of $50 horse power.
The increased steam power will add
to the product by increasing the cap
9th of the tes new 30 boiisT an Old one 81 1uo
horse power condemned for steam pur-
poses, has been blocked up to height
of some fourteen feet, where 1t will
be permanently supported aud used to
supply the entire plant with hot wat
er. The boiler will be heated with
the exhaust from the engine, while the
height at which it is supported in
sures sufficient pressure all over the
plant.
The new boiler, which is one Of the
water tube type weighing some six
tons, came from Milwaukee and was
hauled 'front.' cars on the P. g. r.
tracks by Contractor W. A. Shopper
son, who did all the work on both boil.
ers involved, blocking them up to the
position they are to permanently oc.
cupy. The new boiler proved pretty
hard proposition to handle. especially
as the streets all about the brewery
are soft and muddy. Everything now
is ready for the bricklsyers, who will
begin work in day or 80.
The remodeling will take in every
part of the brewery. The Office now
occupies separate building on the
side of Spring street opposite the brew
cry. The middle division Of the plant,
which was formerly the office, is now
used ss racking room, where the beer
is drawn of from the sediment. This
apartment is full Of up.to-date appli.
ances. facilitating this branch of
brewery work, which before was al.
ways done by simple and primitive
methods. The "Ideal Raoker." in
stalled couple of weeks ago is COST
ly mechanism embodying scientific
principle, which has many points OF
merit over old methods employed.
Inside the brewery has been much
altered, while as the result of the re-.
modelling externally. the appearance
has been much changed. The entire
structure inside and outside is to re.
ceive a new coat of paint.

Mr Reifsnyder reported that com
plaint had come to him from lady in
the Second Ward to the effect that
neighbor is in the habit of tieing his
horses in front Of her premises thereby
contributing to q nuisance. Gu mo-
tion the matter was referred to the
Chief. of Police.
The Street Commissioner reported
as to what disposition he was making
of the sand and manure scraped up on
Mill street and asked Council what
price should be fixed for the material.
After some discussion the price OF
thirty cents per load was decided up
A pole on Centre street belonging TO
the Bell Telephone Company was re-
ported as in very bad condition. 1t
has been repeatedly reported to the
Telephone Company, who seem to take
no notice OF the matter. On motion OF
Mr.. Reifsnyder it was ordered that
the Bell Telephone Company be given
final notice that the pole is unsafe and
that unless repairs are made within
reasonable time the Borough will plant
q new pole at the Company's expense,
imposing in addition the penalty pro-
vided by the ordinance.

tion of q stone culvert at Ferry street
to take the place of the canal bridge,
which is to be removed. The culvert
will be some eighty feet long, three
feet by four feet. The stone in the
abutments. it is thought. will be near
ly sufficient to lay up the culvert. The
matter was left in the hands Of the
Committee on Streets and Bridges.
The Clerk was instructed to CORES
pond with the Austin Western Ltd.
Company for best prices on Street
Sweepers. The Chicago sweeper took
