Trout Fishing Time at Hand.

For the inveterate angler spring has
not really begun until the day when
he can cast aside his work and venture
out to the brookside for the first day 5
trout fishing of the season.
There is always peculiar JOY in
getting out of doors while spring is
still in it's infancy, when the grass is
putting on it's tenderest freshest
green, when the willows are budding
along the edge of his favorite stream,
when the azure harbinger of the vern-
al season, the bluebird. is announcing
with his faint, sweet, futelike melody
the coming of the tribes of feathered
songsters from the south.
The inspiration of a new life is felt
by the man who knows where the
trout lie in wait, and his blood begins
to stir like the sap in the naples, he
takes his rod and reel and book of flies
and looks forward to a days sport be-
side the bank of some ripping brook
OF tumbling mountain stream.

Many Forgeries Discovered.

The banking business of Central
Pennsylvania bids fair to become de-
moralized unless the swindler who is
flooding the country with bogus checks
is soon brought to earth.
Two forged checks totalling 1924
were presented for payment at the
First National Bank of Sunbury yes
terday. The first was for $3.50 from the
bank of Wyoming near Wilkes-Barre,
bearing the forged signature of a. &
j. Moeschlin, and the second was for
$574 from Scranton, bearing the forged
signature of Blank & Gottshall.
The spurious checks which have
been accepted by outside banks and
presented in Sunbury yesterday for
payment in the last week amount to
$2634 The same man working in Will
Transport passed a bogus check for
$2l0 Before all his dealings are un-
earthed the total will doubtless reach
into many thousands of dollars.
So far as is known the actual cash
losses have been slight But the readi-
ness with which the duped firms ac-
cepted the bogus checks has led to
grave fears that before long more SER
ious losses will be discovered. Mean
while no bank knows whether or not
the checks of its customers are good.
Perhaps even now there may be many
checks charged to various accounts and
now fled away which are absolute
forgeries and for whose payment some
body must foot the bill when they are
discovered. Bankers from Williams
port to Scranton are thoroughly alarm
ed and a general overhauling of all ac-
counts is the only thing which will
allay their uneasiness and restore their
confidence.

Iron Workers Narrow Escape.

Henry Helwig figured in thrilling
escape at the Reading Iron works Sat
urday morning.
He was working at the rolls in the
sixteen inch mill. The accident that
occurred is a very common one, requir-
ing quick decision and presence of
mind. Mr.. Helwig failed to rise equal
to the emergency in these respects and
nearly paid the penalty with the los
of his life.
While a bar was being rolled the
tongs were caught between the rolls
and pulled through The proper thing
to at the instant the rolls catch the
let go. Mr.. Helwig, it seems. forgot
to do this but seemingly with hope
of recovering the tOngs instinctively
frightened his grip. The result was
that he was dragged or thrown heard
first toward the set of revolving rolls.
The fellow workmen averted their
eyes, as they could not see how he
could escape falling into the rolls. At
the last moment, however, he saved
himself by grasping the plate with one
hand and the housing with the other.
Several employees in discussing the
matter Saturday declared it was one
of the closest calls they had ever wit
messed in the Reading Iron works.

Concrete Bridges Proposed.

The county of Montour the State
hospital for the insane and the d. L.
& w Railroad company propose joint
ly to enter upon a fine improvement
near the hospital grounds in the form
of massive concrete bridge to span
Toby Run taking care of all the traffi C
at that point belonging to the hospit
al, the public highway and the rail
road.
Toby Run flows into the canal near
the gas house. At that point the wag
on road and the railroad lie side by
side with an intervening space be-
tween them and the hospital grounds.
Both the highway and the railroad re-
quire new bridges at that place, while
the hospital authorities desire to have
the stream bridged on the narrow strip
of land adjoining for which they are
responsible.
Should the county, the hospital and
the railroad company each build its
own bridge we should have three diF
erent structures b1ilt at different times
essentially dissimilar, while, if a pro-
per agreement be entered into with
the D. L. & W. company, which has
skilled men and all the facilities at
hand, solid and enduring structure
can be cheaply and expeditiously built,
embracing highway, railroad and the
strip of hospital land.
The railroad company understands
the value of having an artistic piece
of work at this point and it is willing
to enter into contract with the coun-
ty and the hospital authorities to build
all the three bridges.
The matter came up before court on
Saturday. The county commissioners
through their attorney presented a
petition to the court to direct them to
enter into contract with the ID. l.. e.
w. railroad as proposed above for the
building of a concrete culvert. The
court took the petition.

Fire at Shamokin.

A most disastrous fire swept over a
portion of Shamokin Monday night,
doing damage to the amount of $780,
900. The fire started in Sweitzer e.
Miller's saw mill, but just how is a
mystery. In addition to the mill the
Shamokin Novelty works. the Sha-
mokin Wagon works and thirteen
dwelling houses were completely de-
stroyed. Houses four squares away
from the fire caught from sparks, car
ried by the wind. which was blowing
fiercely and which made it very hard
to fight the flames.
The families living in the district
swept by the flames had narrow es-
capes, many being forced to leave their
homes clad only in their night clothes.
Mrs Frank Stahlnecker, who rushed
back into her burning home to rescue
her four years old child, was badly
burned. A number of firemen were al
so injured while fighting the flames.
