STATE TO ARRANGE
GAME PRESERVES

The State game commission has de
termined to establish a number of
State game preserves, where for a
period Of six years there will an alb
solutely closed season for all kinds Of
game This scheme is following out
the purposes of the act of May II, 1903,
whereby the game commission was
given authority in cooperation with
the State forestry commission to est
ablish such preserves with the idea of
propagating the wild fauna of the
State
The matter was brought up at the
meeting of the game commission Sat
urday afternoon and it was stated that
the forestry commission has given the
necessary permission and three pre-
serves, each from two to two and Il
half miles square, will be established
at once. One will be in Franklin com
ty near Mont Alto and one each in
Clinton and ClearfieId counties, whore
the State Owls many acres of forest
land. 1t is proposed to surround these
preserves with single wire with
notices of the reservation placed every
100 feet or so, the idea being that the
wire will serve as a warning to hunt
res that they are State reserves, the
common sense and public spirit of the
hunter being trusted to prevent him
from entering or shooting game there
in
Speaking Of the plan, Dr. Kalbfus,
State game protector, said to report
cr on Saturday: "This is the com
mencement of a great chain Of per
serves where game of all kinds may
go, rest and breed They will not be
stocked, as we trust that the animals
ana birds Will 90 there from other
places We will rely upon the people
to respect these preserves, our only
precautions being a wire and notices
tackled on trees. If this is done the
whole State will benefit.
Men Will be put TO work this wee X
to make the surveys to establish bound
aries.

Would Seriously Affect Sunbury.

The cutting out of Sunbury as a
freight terminus of the Philadelphia
and Erie and Northern Central branch
es of the PENNSYLVANIA railroad system
in this State would result i'll the re-
moval of at least two hundred railroad
men and their families to Harrisburg,
Williamsport and Remove.
Crowded conditions about the Penn
svlvania railroad yards in the move
mont of freight some time ago led the
officials of the Pennsylvania railroad
to plan extensive improvements to the
yard facilities there.
After the plans had been made agents
were active about Sunbury to secure
the necessary land upon which to eX-
tend the freight yards. Property own
ers refused to sell the land except at
extravagant prices and the railroad
officials determined that the improve
mcnts to the Sunbury yards should be
abandoned unless they could get land
at reasonable figures.
The matter has alarmed the business
men of Sunbury and a special meeting
of the Business Mems association has
been called.
Railroad men whose runs have been
from Harrisburg to Sunbury and from
Sunbury to Williamsport and Remove
have been interviewed upon the sub
jcct of moving to Harrisburg, vii

THE CHAMPION.

The champion fish story of the sea-

of a recent date. 1T tells how two we'll
known residents of that town, y. 7.
Rush and John stephens, went fishing
for catfish a few evenings ago near tho
Juniata bridge They caught several
fish and finally Rush got bite; he
tried to pull out but found that his
hook was fastened. After a hard pull,
the line came up and on the hook was
a tw gallon jug. Being curious to
know what held the hook i'll the jug,
Rush broke the jug and found twelve
inch catfish. The fish had probably
gone into the jug when small and had
grown too large to get out of the open
ing. Did the philanthropists among
the finny tribe keep that imprisoned
fish supplied with food, or was it a
very hungry fish when Mr.. Rush's

The Rolling Mill Situation.

On June 29th. last f. c. Smiuk,
president of the Reading Iron COM
pany, gave for publication the follow
ing statement to a reporter of the
Reading Eagle:
Applications were recently receiv-
ed from committees from our rolling
mill departments for an advance Of
fifty cents per ton for pudding, and
corresponding advances in all other
rolling mill labor | replied thereto
through the superintendent Of the
different departments, that | was com
PEELED to deny their requests, as the
market conditions and prices now
ruling for our iron products do not
Justify any advances. The situation is
really worse today than it was i'll Jan
uarY last, when similar requests for
advances were made. as prices are low
cr now than then, and the out look Is
anything but a promising one. 1t is
our intention to close down all our
mills next week for the usual summer
repairs, which may take from one to
three weeks, after which we will be
prepared to resume. If the men do not
choose to resume work on the wage
basis now in force, the mills will re
main shut down until conditions
change.
The above statement fully covers the
situation as it exists today and will
no doubt be Of interest to Danyille
readers.

Barn Struck by Lightning.

The fine big barn on the farm of
Emanuel Slider, on the ,Ierseytown
road. Valley township, was struck by
lightning Tuesday afternoon about
1:l5 O'Clock and the fire that followed
totally destroyed the structure and
several nearby buildings.
The farm is occupied by Norman
Kitchen. and he with his son and an
other man were in the barn unloading
wheat at the time it was struck. Mr..
Kitchen says the shock was terrific,
and for a moment he was almost stun
ned. An instant after the lightning
struck the barn was in a mass of flames,
the fire breaking out in several places
at the same time. 1t was only by
prompt action that the live stock and
farming machinery were saved.
The barn was built about go years
ago, but was in excellent condition ;
it was constructed almost entirely of
oak. 1t was a bank barn, S0x3S, with
a straw shed 55x3O nearby stood a fine
new corn shed which was also destroy
ed.
In the barn were about 30 tons of
hay, - loads of wheat, and in the corn
shed 80 bushels Of shelled corn. Mr.
Kitchen had about one third Of his
wheat in and about one-half of his hay
made.
Mr. Slider places the value of the
destroyed buildings at 5?3OO, on which
there is $500 insurance. On the hay
