College Bows Peculiar Jaunt

Two college students George Bow
man and Charles Hunter. of Harris
burg, students at State college passed
through Danville yesterday afternoon.
They are spending the summer vaca-
tion on an unique walking and canoe
trip and left Harrisburg week ago,
While college was still in session,
they planned and prepared for an un-
to leave Harrisburg and make trip
on foot up the Susquehanna valley to
Wilkes Barre, whence the shortest
route to Albany,N Y, will be taken.
At Albany they will take to the Hud
son river, and in canoe, previously
shipped to that point, will paddle up
the Hudson and ON into and through
Lake Champlain and via the Risseleau
river to the st. Lawrence river, and
on through to Buffalo. After visit to
Niagara Falls they will return home
by rail.
The young men are both strudy at
hletes. and are already showing signs
of their outdoor life. Each wears can
vass shoes, light suit and Panama
hat. Each carried small bundle con-
tanning blanket and heavy sweater,
the latter for cold days. Hunter also
has folding kodac to take views en-
route. They made but brief stop in
town, as municipalities seem to have
but little attraction for them.

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 in the re-
moval of at least two hundred railroad
men and their families to Harrisburg,
Williamsport and Remove.
Crowded conditions about the Penn
sylvania railroad yards in the move
ment 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
ments 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 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
ject of moving to Harrisburg, Will
Transport and Remove.

Picnic Date Changed.

The picnic executive committee of
the Susquehanna district, G. A. R.
held meeting at the Washington
house in Northumberland yesterday
afternoon at O'Clock and decided to
change the date of the annual outing
from August is to Thursday August q.
At the first meeting of the commit
tee held some weeks ago the date of
August IS was chosen but it was found
necessary to make change as the ma
tional encampment at Minneapolis,
August 1920. would make it impossi
BILE for the State officers and others to
be present at the picnic.
Arrangements have been made for a
round trip fare of $l.O0, which in
cludes trolley to and from the park at
Shamokin. The Shamokin band will
furnish music for the occasion. Free
coffee is distributed to all who desire
it, and ample provision is always made
on the grounds to furnish meals to
those who do not wish to carry bas-
kets. The invitation to the picnic is
general.
Goodrich post was represented at the
committee meeting yesterday by Post
Commander William M. Heddens

The Rolling Mill Situation.

On June 23th. last f. O. Smink,
president of the Reading Iron COM
pany, gave for publication the follow
ing statement to 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 I was COM
pelled to deny their requests, as the
market conditions and prices now
ruling for our iron products do not
Justify any advances. The situation 10
really worse today than it was in jan
uary last, when similar requests for
advances were made, as prices are low
or now than then, and the out look ia
anything but 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 Danville
readers.

Elderly Mans Severe Injury.

Robert Blue, an elderly resident of
Mausdale, had the misfortune Satur-
day about noon to fall from a hay
wagon that he was helping to load,
fracturing his collar bone and four
ribs on the right side.
Mr.. Blue was working for w. S.
Lawrence on the Reading Iron COM
pany's land just north Of the borough
line. He was ON top of the partly load
ed wagon, receiving the hay as it was
passed up and distributing it on the
load. When the team moved to anoth-
er spot Mr.. Blue lost his balance, and
falling off the wagon struck his right
shoulder on a stone.
Dr. Paules was summoned and Mr..
Blue removed to his home at Maus-
dale, where yesterday he was resting
easily. 1t is thought that no internal
injuries were sustained. 1t will, how
ever, be some time before Mr.. Blue
fully RECEIVERS, as the mending of a
broken bone, at his advanced age, is a
tedious process.
