Hartman Gathers Them In.

Years ago when the reasonably old
settlers came here the Union Pacific
railroad through our town was a poor
excuse of a railroad, in the receivers
hande and all the time in trouble. To-
day our town is on one of the greatest
railroad systems in the United States,
with the finest of fast running cars.
Now the news comes that the Mana
gers have added more to this system:
''E. H. Hartman has acquired con-
troll of the Baltimore & Ohio system,
the Chesapeake & Ohio and the Nor
folk & Western railroads.
With these acquisitions the Union
Pacifc-Southern Pacific will add approx
imately 5000 miles of railroad to its
lines and become by far the most ex-
, tensive system in the world, its total
mileage aggregating 22,287. The pur-
chase in the deal involved about
$40, 600. 600.
Hartman will be in control of the
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Co., Oregon
Short Line, Baltimore & Ohio, South
western, Chesapeake & Ohio and the
Norfolk & Western. -
Now give us the Hays-Great Bend
to-the-Gulf road, connecting the Unior
Pacific with the Santa Fe to Galveston
and our system cannot be surpassed ol
equaled.

Salina Festival.

The two editors protein of this sheet
had the pleasure of taking in the United
Commercial Travellers Annual Festival
in Salina last Sunday. The afternoon
and evening concerts in Oakdale Park
by the Banda Rossa, although the only
features of the program, were well
worth the money and inconvenience
that always accompany special eXcur-
sions. Seventy tickets were sold here
Sunday morning and some other towns
along the line were even better repre-
sented-Gorham sending about so, OF
more than ten per cent of the whole
population; Victoria was also well re-
presented, as was Russell and Wilson.
Eight special trains were run into Sa-
lima bringing in about 5000 visitors.
Although their music is rather classical
for the average person, the Banda
Rossa is all right and Salina was for
tunate in securing such an attraction
for three days.

AS will be noticed, Probate Judge B..
C. Arnold has announced himself as a
candidate at the election for a re-elec-
ton. He had prepared to return to his
store, but so urgent all over the county
was the request that he remain in the
office, that he has consented to be a
candidate and make the race.
That he has been an ideal officer for
that place all recognize, attentive to
duty, very careful in his work, perfect
in his records, exacting in his duty that
every act relating to his office shall be
according to law, person can feel per-
fectly safe to die and be certain their
estate will be carefully guarded by him
while in office.
In the u. S. Land office work, sc
careful and perfect has been his Fina
homestead proof papers that nearly
every proof in this county for years has
been ordered by the U. S. Land Office
to be made by him. He will, no doubt
receive a big vote.
In these days of Roosevelt, Jerome
Folk, ard others the intelligent votel

1t was surely complimentary to Co.
Supt. Grabbe to receive the unanimous
nomination of his party and then for
the Republicans to refuse to put up
anyone to run against him. Two years
ago the Republicans offered him the
nomination, and having proved most
excellent official, and interested in
school work, it is surely pleasing to see
the Republicans take the Office out of

Only one paper in a locality is per-
mitted to use the Pictorial Supplements
we are now using in connection with
the FREE PRESS. This is why some
papers are squealing so hard and why
the News copied a bout dozen (more
or less) clippings from various sources
last week. We noticed they used
nothing original. AS long as our read
ers continue to voice the sentiment
they now do, i. e. that the colored sect
ion is a good thing and they hope it
will come regularly, we shall continue
to bear the extra trouble and expense
of colored section. The FREE PRESS

The hearing of the Dalton Will came
off last Saturday before the Probate
Judge with quite large attendance.
Attorney Holmquist appeared for the
nonresident or eastern heirs, to require
the executors to give additional bond,
which the court ordered. Harry Freese
appeared for Dalton and the will and it
was admitted to probate and the ex-
ecutors named therein, Mr. Reed and
Mr.. Smith, were put in charge of the
estate and they will now proceed to
pay the bills, and sell the horses, hogs,
cattle etc., See notice of sale in anoth-

now be up to Mr.. Freese to find those
eastern heirs, if possible, who received
the residue of the estate, $4,000 or $4,000.

main. He prefers farm life
While Mr.. Gottschalk is a nice,
young man, that township has its river
bridge. Ellis and Hamilton townships
now want their turn for bridges and
will vote for Mueller nearly unanimous
ly for another four years term and he
will be elected by an overwhelming
majority. The Democrats should have
re-nominated him and should induce
Gottschalk to withdraw letting Mueller
in as Grabbe and Cox go,-without any
opposition.

The Flood.

The doWnpour on the night of June
9Th, 1906, in the townships to the north
and northeast of Butler seems to have
been one of the most remarkable OF late
years-though how many inches fell
was not measured.
We hear of farms being washed, IN
several townships; of corn, oats and po-
tato crops being damaged; of roads be-
ing washed ont and township bridges
being DESTROYED; of several railroad
washouts; of telephone lines downed
and one railroad bridge ION the Win
field branch) being destroyed.
The Slipperyrock, Connoquenesslng
and Buffalo were all flooded. The wa
ter in Butler rose higher than ever be-
fore known, the Centre avenue and rail
road bridge embankments forming a
dam there, and the railroad and county
bridges and embankments near the car
works another there, while the creek
bed and channel are gradually being
filed with refuse.
Much damage was done in Butler,
and in several townships.
Old residents of the Connoquenessing
Valley say the water last Thursday wa.
two feet higher than the great flood oi
August, 1861, and three feet higher
than when the 3oydstown dam burstet
in August, 1903 III the water las
Thursday had gone three or four inche
higher, it is said the dam would nave
oyerhowed and broken, and Butler
have been another Johnstown.

school Board Meeting.

Monday evening the School Board
met and accepted the report of the
budget committee which recommended
the levying of taxes as follows: | mill
sinking fund. mills general fund and
mills building, total of nine mills.
Last year the tax was l mill sinking
fund, 6 mills general and no building
tax, making an increase of two mills.
Debts already contracted in connection
with the condemnation of the old
Borough graveyard amount to $1,000.
which was borrowed from the general
fund of last year, and this Indebtedness
makes the levying of building tax
necessary. A hard fight against maxi
ing an increase of more than one mill
was made, and the final vote was to 9
in favor of the two mill increase.
All last years corps of teachers who
applied were reelected which included
all the old High School force, all the
principals and special teachers, and all
the teachers except Florence Cornelius,
Mae Kreaps, Anna Thompson and Miss
Barton, who did not ask for reelection.
Miss Cornelius has been elected to a
position in the Bellevue schools and
Miss Kreaps is now Mrs. Frank Kemper.
Miss Elizabeth Frazier, who was sub
stituted last year. was given a regular
position, and two additional teachers
we're elected. raising the total from 80
to 50. making places for six new
teachers. They are Mary Mckinley,
Anna H. Brown, Edith Negley, Gertrude
Redic, Margaret Wilson and Emma
Marshall. The total number of teachers,
principals and High School Corps is SO.
Henry Krug was reelected truant
officer and Harry Nicholas, T. A. Hire,
Simon Moon, Oliver Graham and j. h.
Cumberland were reelected janitors.
Miss Bard of the High School has been
elected to place in the Central High
School. Pittsburg. and if she will not
accept her Butler position, another
High School teacher will have to be
elected Friday evening when the Board
meets to fix salaries, etc.
