NORTH MILL STREET
FINALLY APPROVED

The reconstruction or paving of
North Mill street, with State aid,
which in one form or another has been
before the public so long, is at last a
closed incident The street has been
accepted by the State highway depart
ment under the terms of contract and
bond.
A communication received by the
borough from State Highway Commits
sioner Joseph W. Hunter in relation
to the matter explains that the con-
tractor is under obligation to make
any repairs upon the road that may be
necessary prior to May 12, 1908. Aft
er that date the road will be in the
hands of the borough to maintain.
The State highway commissioner
calls the borough's attention especial
ly to the fact that unless the borough
council maintains this road in proper
condition it will forfeit its right to
the State aid in maintenance, which
it would otherwise receive in cash.
The law authorizes the payment by
the State of fifty per cent. of the cost
of maintenance, but this is paid only
when the road is kept in proper re-
pair.

FALSEWORk
is RECOVERED

The river was the center of much
interest yesterday both because of the
terrible tragedy at Mifflinville and
the fact that the water had reached
one of the highest stages in a year
past The crest of the flood yesterday
the guage on the first pier of the river
bridge on the south side. The river
remained stationary during yesterday.
The Aood associated as it was with
the terrible loss of life only few
miles up stream, seemed to combine
with the usual attribute of grandeur
something that awoke in the mind
mingled emotions of dread and awe.
Indeed, no one could look upon the
irresistible sweep of the vide waters,
realizing the wreck, the havoc and the
loss of life it had caused, without ex-
periencing feeling akin to depres-
sion. The monotonous wash of the
food among the stone piers of the
bridge was mourntul music to the ear,
WllllC lllt plCGCs VI bIilbWOOhs lIslllS
and sinking in the boiling current.
| brought to the mind uncapny sugges-
tions of human bodies being swept
along by msrciless flood.
These impressions were heightened
by the fact that large sections of the
falsework belonging to the illfated
bridge whereon so many lost their
lives passed down the stream with
other driftwood during the morning
and forenoon. Not only were these
grewsUme timbers observed by persons
on the bridge, but large number of
heavy pieces were dragged from the
river at South Danville and piled up
on the shore.
Not in many years have such large
quantities OF driftwood come down
stream. Much of it comprised the
timber that escaped from the headwat-
ers of the Fishingcreek and was very
valuable. Il was not until yesterday
morning, however, that the timbers
| belonging to the false work of the
Mifflinville bridge reached this point
During high water the current on
the river here carries the driftwood
along the south side of the stream. the
bulk of it passing within sixty or
eighty yards of the shore. Arthur
! Baylor. James Fisher and Harry Nuss,
three bold rivermen of the south side,
were on the lookout and spying the
bridge timbers rowed cut on the river
and captured as many as they could
drag into shore.
Among the pieces recovered were
several lengthy upr;ahts and braces
with quantity of plank, all recognize
ed as parts of the falsework, On one
of the timbers were sell-tale marks. of
blood, which showed how intimately
it was associated with the catastrophe.

TRAPPING MINKS
YIELDS PROFIT

Harvey ANDERSON, and his son John
who live along tue old canal some
two miles down the river about this
time of year have lots of sport in trap
ping and they have the satisfaction of
realizing that Notwithstanding the
scarcity of fur bearing animals the
business yields profit.
Within few days time the father
and son have captured two minks. two
weasels and twenty muskrats One
of the largest minks ever captured in
this section was killed by the Lamber-
sons during the present week The
pelt, which was produced at the office
of Justice Oglesby. showed that the
animal was nearly as large as a COM
mou sized cat.
Aside from the bounty paid by the
county for killing noxious animals a
very nice item is realized from the
sale of the fur or pelt. The fur Of the
mink is very valuable and, if care is
taken in killing the animal, as much
as 81. 80 may be realized from the sale
of the pelt. One dollar is the highest
price paid for weasel pelt probably.
however, in most instances no more
than fifty cents is realized Muskrat
hides are also in rdemand, the prices
paid being various.
Mr.. Lamberson has three fox terrier
dogs and it is these busy little fellows
that do the work. They are always
on the go. Montour ridge and the
long stretch of river bottom afford an
excellent hunting ground.
In the summer time the fox terriers
devote themselves to exterminating
the snakes. One of the dogs is a
wonder and his record for the past
season is fifteen copperheads In kill
ing these it is worthy of note that the
little dog was bitten fourteen times
and came very nearly sacrificing his
life. Before the season was over the
dog was so full of poison that he seem
ed more dead than alive. Mr.. Lam
berson placed the little fellow on a
diet of cod liver oil and thus succeed
ed in pulling him through

ENTERTAINED
BY THE ELKS

The rooms of Lodge No. 754, b. p.
o. E., this city, were the scene of a
very pleasant function Friday after
noon and - evening. The former
of the two occasions was devoted to
the children, some fifty eight in num-
ber, who assisted the Lady Minstrels
at the entertainment given on Novem-
ber 1st under the auspices of Lodge
No. 754, B. P. o. E., for the benefit
of its charity fund. The performance
of the children in connection with
the event proved quite feature and
in order to repay them to some extent
they were invited to the lodge rooms
by the Elks yesterday afternoon and
royalty entertained.
Nearly the entire afternoon was
spent in the building, the entertain
ment of the children being in charge
of Mrs. Schram, Mrs. Ellenbogen, Mrs
Purpur, Mrs. Diehl and Mrs. Peters
There was music and dancing, games
and contests of various sorts and last
but not least, refreshments consisting
of ice cream and cake.
Friday night the Lady Minstrels
themselves were entertained. The
function took the form of dance, TO
which each of the fair minstrels was
privileged to invite gentleman friend
The dance began at O'Clock and last
ed until midnight. Refreshments were
served That both ladies and children
felt we'll repaid for their efforts by
the lavish entertainment extended by
the Elks goes without saying.

GREAT GAME OF
BASKET BALL

In fast aud exciting game at the
armory on Saturday night the Dan
Vile basket ball team was defeated by
tine Wyoming Valley Stars, of Wilkes
Barre, by score of 21-20.
From the time the game began un-
til the end the visitors, led by Miles
Barber, a former Danville basket ball
star. now of Wilkes Barre, played a
game that excited round after round
of applause, treating the spectators to
such an exhibition of good covering
and shooting as has seldom been seen
in visiting team on the home floor
Danville, in turn, played a game
that filled the hearts of the basket ball
enthusiasts with joy. Without excep-
tion, their work was brilliant from
start to finish, showing the result of
hard practice and giving evidence by
good team work.
For the first few minutes of play
Wilkes-Barre held the lead, when Dan
Vile, recovering from the surprise at
the fast work of their opponents, gain
ed the lead which they held to within
about three minutes of the end of the
game. Then by most brilliant basket
ball the visitors, aided by number
of fouls called on both sides, crept up
in points, tying the score and finally
winning by one point
The stand taken by Referee Aims
worth for straight, fair basket ball de-
serves commendation. He called foul
after foul impartially on both teams
and also gave the forty or fifty young
sters who perched in the gallery"
dressing up" This gang makes it
point to hoot and jeer at the visiting
team, and any decision of ths referee
that fails to suit their fancy.
That the people appreciate the ef-
forts Of the home team to play cleaner
and better basket ball was shown by
the frequent applause which greeted
particularly clean play or much de-
served foul" called by the referee.

Governor Approvnd the Hospital Site.

Governor Approvnd the Hospital Site
Governor Stuart last week approved
the site selected by the commission
created by the last legislature for
State hospital for injured miners in
the Trevorton, Shamokin and Mt. Car
mel coal fields. The proposed hospit-
al will be located on II acres of clear
land near Uniontown at the base of
Trout Run donated by William @. Nc
Connell, member of the commission,
and the Philadelphia g. Reading Rail
way company. This is the only one of
the IA sites offered the commission un-
der which there is no coal, and for
this reason the offer was accepted.
Col. Mcconnell aud is colleagues on
the commission, Senator Fred A. God
charles of Milton, G. O. Leader, Sha-
mokin James Gibbons, Mt Carmel.
and Charles b. Wilmer. Sunbury, call
ed upon the governor at Harrisburg
Friday morning and submitted map
of the site. After the governor had
approved the site Senator Godcharles
explained that 1t was the purpose of
the commission to expend the $50, 900
appropriated by the legislature for an
administration building and to ask the
next leg islature for an appropriation
for additional buildings
Within one mile of the site of the
proposed hospital is the Cameron COL
liery, in which there are So miles of
underground railroad, and which gives
employment to 1000 men and boys. In
this territory there are $4,000 miners,
shopmen, Iaborers and railroaders. The
first six months of the present year
there were $50 accident cases in the
mines in this district.
The members of the commission up
on their return home told reporters
that the governor had approved of the
site verbally he did not commit him
self in writing for the reason that one
of the deeds had been overlooked. This
matter will be settled shortly. how
ever, when the States chief executive
will atfix his signature to the docu-
ment of approval.
A meeting of the board Will be held
in the near future when the plans of
architects will be examined. Work
will in all probability begin early in

that the bank disturbance OF the mo-

al industries. The crops of 1907 are
not the largest That have bean raised,
but win sell for more money and rep

by the secretary at $7,4l2. 600, 600,
which exceeds the high record Of 1906
by s657, 600, 900. figures that bespeak a
remarkable prosperity. The 1907 corn
crop is valued at 81, $50, 900, 900, or
twenty six PERCENT. above the average
value of the previous ave crops, Cot
ton holds its high valuation and the
wheat crop is more valuable by 519
per cent. Taking farm cereals as a
whole their value in 1907 is twenty
three per cent. above the average OF
