CANOEISTS HAVE
MANY TRIALS

J. 2. Evarts and E. d. Hammond,
two young can oeists of Sayre, who are
enjoying cruise down the Susque-
hanna, arrived at this city shortly af-
ter dark last evening and pitched their
tent just below the water works.
The young men are having all sorts
of experiences owing to the low water
on the river, which is factor that
they did not take into account before
starting. At many places it is almost
impossible owing to the scarcity of
water to make any headway at all.
Occasionally the canoeists are unable
to cover distance of more than ten
miles day, while at places where low
water is not so much of factor thev
are able to cover from twenty to thirty
miles per day.
The young men left Sayre on Aug.
18th and now. after some ten DAYS,
have reached point about $50 miles
from home. Their objective point is
Harrisburg, although from the condi.
ton OF the river they are led to fear
that they may not be able to proceed
father than Sun5ury.
Notwithstanding some annoyances
that are caused by low water the ca
noeists on the whole are having most
delightful outing. The pleasant wealth
er has something to do with it, while
the ever changing scenery is a constant
charm. The canoeists fish while on
the way. They do their own cooking
and at night sleep in a tent. which is
pitched in sheltered hooks on shore.
A pet bull dog, Buster Brown" bv
name accompanies the young fellows
and seems to share in the general good
time.

INFORr1AL DANCE
AT THE PARK

An informal dance given at De.
Wits park by Mrs. 1. A. Snyder, Mrs.
E. w Peters and Miss Clara Smith,
Tuesday night proved to be an exceed
ingly distinguished affair.
The decorations, consisting of cut
flowers, and japanese lanterns, red,
white and blue in color, were never
surpassed by anything in the line of
decorations seen at the park.
The music was by Oppenheim's or.
chestra of Wilkes-Barre and proved
great feature, number of people not
included among the dancers, being
present to hear the music.
Altogether it was one of the most
successful outing dances ever held at
Danville, among those present being a
large number from out of town. The
ladies were very handsomely attired
and the dancers under the brilliant
decorations moving to the strains of
the exquisite music made an impress
sion on the memory that will linger
for many a day.

plans APPROVED
BY COY. STUART

The plans for the new BUILDINGS ar
the hospital for the insane were an.
proved by Governor Stuart on Tues,
day. Proposals for the work will be
invited Immediately and in months
time work may be under way at the
female infirmary.
Hon. r. S. zimmerman. solicitor for
the board of trustees, was at Harris
burg, Tuesday, on business connected
with affairs at the hospital for the in
sane. The changes in the plans having
been made as recommended they were
signed by Governor Stuart. Nothing
now remains but to invite bids and
award the contracts.
The plans before being submitted To
Governor Stuart were approved bv the
trustees of the hospital and bv the
board of public charities. In order that
there might be no loss of time the
board of trustees at the last meeting
adopted resolution empowering and
authorizing DR.. Meredith, the super
intendent of the hospital, to advertise
Tor bids as soon as the plans were an.
proved by the governor.
Pursuant to this resolution DR.
Meredith will Immediately insert adj.
vertisements for proposals in half a
dozen newspapers in the leading towns
OF the State. These advertisements
must run twenty-one days. Assuming
that they appear the present week, af-
ter they have run the required time a
week or more of September will re.
main, during which the contract NAV
be awarded and arrangements made
for beginning work.
One of the trustees Yesterday ex-
planned that every effort will be made
to get work on the female infrmary
under way as speedily as possible,
probably by October first. Considering
that the excavation is practically COM
pleted he regards it as perfectly feast
bic to get the new building under roof
before cold weather.

NEW SYSTEM
OF SEWERAGE

Our readers will be glad to learn
that the State department of health
and the trustees of the hospital for
the insane have grappled with the pro-
blem of hospital sewage in way that
promises permanent relief to the bor.
ough, which for the greater part of the
time since the hospital was establish
ed has suffered from river pollution.
The hospital trustees who them
selves realize that the present system
Is inadequate, were requested by
DR.. Dixon TO submit to the department
of health plans for some other system,
which in their opinion would dispose
of the sewage without harm to the in
stitution or the borough of Danville.
In view of the cost involved in such
a survey and the uncertainty that the
plans would meet the approval Of the
department it seemed to the trustees
that to comply would be to run the
risk of losing in fruitless expenditure
large slice of their appropriation.
AccordlnSlN ON tuesday. the date set
for the conference with DR.. Dixon, in
stead of submitting plans for new
system the trustees were on hand to
make an entirely new proposition,
which was that the trustees and the
State department. of health go over the
ground jointly, studying the situation
and tying to agree upon some plan
that will bring full and permanent re-
lief. In this proposition DR. Dixon
heartily concurred and ut the next
meeting of the trustees sanitary eng
ineer of high reputation will be ap-
pointed to act in conjunction with the
engineer of the State department. of
health in devising new system of
sewerage.

DANVIbLE' MILK
SUPPLY IS GOOD

The following letter from State
Dairy and Food Commissioner James
Foust will be of interest to readers of
the Morning News:
HARRISBURG, August 81, 1907.
Dear Sir: | take pleasure in enclus-
ing copies of analytical reports cover
ing the milk supply of your city, and
analyzed by DR.. L. Z. Aschman. These
samples of milk and cream were pur-
chased by sworn agents of the dairy
and food bureau. In connection with
the subject it might be we'll to explain
that the common standard for milk in
this State is three aud one.half per
cent, while that for cream is sixteen
per cent.
Milk containing three per cent. and
over of butter fat is ordinarily regard
ed as of normal quality, while cream
containing sixteen per cent. is also re-
garded as being of ordinary quality.
The United States standard for milk
is four per cent. butter fat, and that
for cream is placed at eighteen per
cent.
trust that you can find space in
your valuable paper for the publication
of the enclosed reports, which. think,
is due the public and only fair to the
dairymen.
The following samples of milk and
cream were taken by Agent Linton
from dairymen in Danville, Pa, July
l3, 1907:

CHANGE OF RATES
AFFECTING TUITION

a change of rates affecting the tut
tion fee paid the district by non-resi-
dent pupils goes into effect the pres
ent year. There is slight advance as
affects the grammar school.
The rates for the first, second and
third grades are 20 cents per month;
for the fourth, fifth aud sixth grades
one dollar per month. For the seventh
and eighth grades embraced in the
grammar school. the rate is 81 so per
month. In the high school the tuition
is S25 per year.
The law provides that the cost of
tuition for nonresident pupils shall
not exceed that of the tuition of chill
dren in the same grade or courses in
the districts maintaining said higher
courses aud high schools. The local
school board has given considerable
thought to the subject and concluded
that a mild revision was necessary in
order to bring the rates in all the
grades up to the cost of tuition.

FIVE TON ROLLER
HAS ARRIVED

The five-ton roller shipped from
Williamsport to D. j. Rogers arrived
yesterday afternoon and by last even
ing was unloaded from the cars and
removed to North Mill street, where
it will be used in rolling the paved
surface.
Mr.. Rogers owns a ten-ton roller,
which was used in rolling the course
of crushed stone and cinder placed un-
der the course of brick. For rolling
the brick after being laid on the street
the specifications call for a five-ton
roller. In such matters where the State
is involved there is no room for con-
troversy and as Mr.. Rogers had no
thought of departing from the spec if :
cations he went to Williamsport an
rented roller of proper weight.
The paving is drawing very near to
a close. BY tonight. unless the wealth.
er prove unfavorable, the cinder will
be all applied. By last evening the
brick were laid as far as Chambers
street. The space yet to be paved.
therefore, embraces the intersection
of Chambers street and a space on
North Mill street the width of the
Touring mill. Mr. Rogers expects to
have the street open by Saturday
night.

Soldiers NOUU-
N|ENT ASSURED

soldiers monument for Danyille
is at last an assured fact. A meeting
OF the monument committee was held
ON Monday night and as result in n
few days in leading newspapers of the
State will appear advertisements ask
ing for designs Work on the memori-
al will begin this fall.
At the meeting of the Soldiers
Monument Committee held in Council
chamber, Monday night, were present
Hon. James Foster, chairman: Sam
A. Mccoy, secretary; W. L. Mcclure.
treasurer, and J. O. Miller and Frank
q. Schoch, active solicitors, who from
the first have taken a keen interest in
soldiers monument proposition.
The full proceedings of the meeting
have not been made.public. AS relates
to the monument fund, for a year or
more past it has been known that,
while the amount actually in the
hands of the committee falls far short
of what might be required to build a
handsome monument, yet there we're
sources that had not been approached,
and no one felt like writing the prof
ect down as failure until final and
determined effort was put forth. At
the meeting of the committee 1t was
made clear that the monument can be
built-that with the money actually
on hand-over three thousand dollars
and with what in addition is pledg-
ed or within reach there will be no
deficiency of funds
1t was therefore resolved to proceed
at once to build the monument. Moth
ing more is needed to reveal the COM
mittee's sincerity and its determina-
tion than the fact that ON motion it
was decided to at once advertise for
designs. Two leading Philadelphia
newspapers will be employed and the
advertisements will call for designs
for monument suitable for four
acre tract and one that will range in
cost from $40, 900 to Sl5, 900.
The four-acre tract" named in the
advertisement refers to the new park
on Bloom street at present the old
Presbyterian cemetery. For the fact
might as we'll be stated that no other
spot in town as a site for the soldiers
monument receives much consideration
from the committee. Goodrich Post
No %, G. A. R., as a unit favors the
park as a site. In addition, it is scarce
ly secret that none of the larger con-
tributors. at least, in their minds as
sociate the monument with any other
site than the new park.
A plan for the memorial will be ad-
opted as quickly as practicable, after
which bids will be invited for the
erection of the monument itself. At
every stage delay will he avoided in
order TO get actual work under way.
If possible work ON the foundation
will be entered upon coincident with
the filling up and the grading of the
cemetery tract, which according to the
plans of the borough, will soon be un-
der way.
At the meeting Monday night it was
decided to request all subscribers to
the Soldiers Monument fund who
have not handed over the amount sub
scribed to make payment to w L. Nc
Clure, treasurer, at the First National
Bank, or to Sam a. Mccoy, secretary,
at the Post Office
