CONTRACT Was
NOT AWARDED

Tuesday was the date set for the
meeting of the trustees of the hospit-
al for the insane for the purpose of
opening and examining the bids for
building the heat, light and power
plant at which electricity is to be en-
ployed. The occasion brought some
twenty experts to Danville, representa-
tives of the parties bidding, but they
were obliged to return home disap-
pointed, as the contract was not award
ed.
The trustees present at the meeting
were: H. M. Schoch of Danville: DR..
B. H. Detwiler. Of Wilkes Barre DIR.
Shoemaker, of Williamsport DIR. Con-
nell, of Scranton Howard Lyon, of
Hughesville W. F. Shay, of Watson
town, and G. G. Van Allen, of North
umberland. Mr.. Van Allen, who was
recently appointed, met with the trus-
tes for the first time Tuesday.
The session occupied all day. The
trustees found themselves up against a
weighty proposition. The specifica-
tions are voluminous, while the prop
osition involving as it does electric
ity leaves good many different points
to be taken care of but what seemed
to occasion the greatest delay was the
difference of opinion as to which of
no txro citoc cbpn1J loa caIn,%ol
At the previous meeting held March
10Th, Philip H. johnson, of Philadel-
phia, the architect, submitted two sets
of plans and specifications for the
heat, light and power plant, one on
the site first selected at the coal dump
just west of the hospital buildings and
the other at the rear of the hospital
taking in the present steam power
plant, where the air compressor main
| tanned in connection with the new filter
system is installed. Both sets of plans
and specifications were adopted by the
trustees and bids were invited on both
of them.
There were dozen proposals Oh
hand Tuesday and it was in examin-
ing these and considering other mat
ters in connection with them that the
time was largely spent. Each of the
two sites has some features to recon.
mend it. The principal objection to
the site at the coal dump lies in the
fact that there will be loss in power
owing to the distance from the main
building, about thousand feet Those
of the trustees who believed that the
loss of power could be obviated saw
many objections to the site at the real
of the hospital, which involves re.
building of the present boiler house
objections which they were not slow
to urge. On the whole there were SC
many matters to consider that night
arrived before the trustees were ready
to award the contract and adjournment
was agreed upon to reconvene at some
date yet to be determined upon.
Representatives of the bidding firms,
experts and others, numbering in al
twenty or more appeared in Danville
early in the day. Many sought in
terviews with local contractors anxious
to get their views as to estimates fol
certain lines of work, ETC., the fact
implied seeming to be that if they got
the contract the local men would be il
line for sub contracts.

MILES MURDOCH.

For several months an article has
been going the rounds of the press to
the effect that a fortune of 5000, 600
awaits former Danville man named
Murdoch, who cannot be found. The
article states that there is uncertainty
about the mans first name which is
either Amiel, Emile or Albert-that
he was born in Massachusetts in 1929,
a son of Bartlett and Hannah Mur-
dock-that those interested in locating
him have traced him to Danville, Pa. :,
where in 1861 he was married to Miss
Henrie. 1t was known that he enlist
ed in Brooklyn in 1865 and records
have been found of his discharge in
1871. After enlistment however all
trace of him has been lost.
Joseph r. Patton and others we'll re-
member Murdoch when he lived in
Danville. These men are able to set
tie the question as to his first name,
which was Miles. Murdoch was a
very gentlemanly and clever man and
held position in the office of the
Montour iron works While in Dan
vile, about 1856, he married Miss
Lucretia Henrie, who sometime after
ward secured divorce.

GOOD OUTLOOK FOR WHEAT.


The Government report concerning
the growing wheat shows slightly
lower average April condition than
that of year ago. At that time the
official estimate of the condition por-
centage was 91.6, and that made pub
lie yesterday was S9.1. A few states
like Kansas, and some of smaller pro-
ductive capacity, show an appreciable
shrinkage, which brings the general
average 2.5 points below that of last
year, although the condition of the
crop in some states is higher than it
was then.
The slight comparative deteriora-
tion, however, does not indicate an
unsatisfactory crop outlook, as the
present condition is unusually high
even for April, and has been exceeded
but three times in that month during
the past fifteen years. The April figures
are usually higher than the condition
at harvest, but there is margin for
some decline from the present high
promise without material reduction in
the aggregate yield. Unless there shall
be serious future impairment of the
plant the winter wheat production this
year is likely to be as abundant az was
that of 1905.
