Consistency.

The Independents "without bias or
political prejudice'' article in this
weeks issue may be as the editor sees
it through his "smoked glass;" but the
voters of the borough will, no doubt
see it as others see it. The editor de-
voted considerable space to Mr.. Jos.
FreindePs candidacy for council in
West Ward, when that gentleman did
not even aspire and was not nominated.
Mr.. E. II. Gregory, a gentleman of
experience in Cameron county affairs
is the nominee of the Republicans,
while Chas. II. Felt is the Democratic
candidate. Both good men.
The Independents article is full of
Inconsistencies, but space and time
will not warrant calling attention to
them. The voters will do that on the
20th.

FINE LUMBER PLANT.
The Complete Lumber Operations
of John T. Dubois in Cameron
County.
Dubois Express.


The Hicks Run railroad, that was
recently incorporated and at the
head of which is principally Dubois
people, is fast becoming quite an i'm
portant piece of road. 1t is one of the
essential parts of the big lumber opera
ton of John E. Dubois at Hicks Run.
1t it essentially log road, running
from Hicks Run to Kelley's station, q
distance of twelve miles. But in adj
dition to this twleve miles of straight
track, there are a number of branches
running up the different valleys along
the route. The rolling stock at present
consist of five engines and about sixty
cars, all in first class shape. The grade
on the main line is very good although
some of the branches are very steep.
The mill at Hicks Run is running
day and night, and at present the road
is kept busy hauling down the i'm
mense number of logs required to keep
the operation busy, but is expected
later that the railroad will put in SER
vice a passenger and supply train be-
tween the terminal points.
There are two big lumber camps
along the railroad, and they are pro.
nounced the finest of their kind in the
country. The comfort of the men is
looked after carefully, and in the
neighborhood of 100 men are stationed
at each one. The upper camp is in
charge Of Mark lands and the lower
has Woody Kelley as boss. These
camps are said by those who have visit
ed them to be the most complete ever
devised in the midst of a wilderness.
The mill is built on large scale,
and employs small army of men,
many of them from Dubois Frank
Patchell, formerly superintendent on
the big mill, here, holds similar posi-.
ton at Hicks Run.

1t is the Columbia Spy which says
that ''in these days of the far reaching
trolley lines far roads there should be
no excuse for illiteracy in the rural dis.
tricts," and the saying will strike many
people as truthful. But wait. Is it the
belief of the Spy that trolley lines now
run past or near every house and school
house in all the townships of Pennsyl
vania? If so, it is sadly misinformed
as to what the trolley people SO far
have done and as what they hope to d.
i'll the next ten years. And the roads
the 'fair roads," the dear, good roads
for which we all hope, where, oh where,
outside of Montgomery county, are
they when the mud is ripe, the clay
done to the sticky point or the snow
piled mountain high as it was during
the past two winters preceding this?
Their uneven and ragged surface
caught and held the SHOWS until in
many places whole townships had to
turn out in order to force through the
United States mails.
The benefits of the abolition of the
free pass on conditions at Harrisburg
are noted by the Lancaster Examiner,
which says: For once the legislature
meets at Harrisburg quietly and un-
affected by hangers on, all due to the
abolition of the free pass This latter
will work other wonders and benefits.
Sessions will be shorter and more work
will be done in given time. for those
living far from Harrisburg can't afford
to go home every week so may as well
work as loaf around. The death of
the pass will effect the lobby and the
pressure that comes from constituents
urging this or that legislation. Even
the bosses will not run to and fro as
formerly, and 50 very little of the old
time excitement, coercion and corrup-
ton will be visible. In short time
the people will realize that the rail
roads have done wisely in cutting off
passes.

Gently installed-an extended account
of the beautiful instrument having ap-
peared in these columns last week.
Prof. John R. Whiteley, of Philadel-

displayed the powers of the instrument,
at the same time demonstrated the fact
that he knew how to bring out the
music. In addition to Mr. Whiteey'a
excellent numbers so beautifully rem
dered, Mr.. Chas. T. Logan sang a tenor
solo, Seek Ye The Lord" assisted by
the choir. Miss Maize Gallagher, also
member of the choir artistically
rendered a violin solo, The Church
Choir on this occasion was assisted by
Messrs. Jay P. Felt and Fred Heilmen,
greatly adding TO the occasion.
The large audience was very evi
IDENTIFY pleased with the entertainment,
for they gave wrapt attention and
remained until the program was COM
pleted.
The occasion was n happy one for
Emmanuel, especially Mrs. VIM. H.
Howard, the regular organist, who
devoted much thought and time to the
subject and travelled to many cities in
order that the best instrument might
be secured. Being for many years an
expert organist, we may now expect
rich treat at her hands.
