new DEVELOPMENT
At SHAMOKIN DAM

The options on the properties be-
tween Shamokin Dam and Selinsgrove
are being taken up, says the Sunbury
Item. In an interview with a promin-
ent Selinsgrove gentleman Thursday
morning, who is in close touch with
the Africa interests, some new facts
were learned which will add more in
terest to this we'll guessed problem.
During this week another section of
land was purchased in Snyder county
that contains large limestone quarry
and the company intends to construct
narrow guage road to this quarry for
the purpose of hauling limestone for
building purposes and the stone also
to be used in making the new road in
Monroe township. 1t was also stated
that land has been purchased adjoin-
ing the canal from Northumberland to
Milton, and it is the belief that large
railroad bridge will be built across
the river at or near Northumberland.
If this is done railroad tracks will be
laid from the bridge to the big classi-
fication yards that are tn be built on
the land secured between Shamokin
Dam and Selinsgrove, and from there
the road will be run along the river to
the railroad yards at Enola, opposite
Harrisburg. Continuing the man from
Selinsgrove stated that there was no
doubt but what there would be large
industrial plants located on the land
secured in connection with the rail-
road company's interest. This cannot
be doubted when it is made known
that when all Of the options are lifted
about 800 acres of land will have
been secured. The large classification
yards recently opened by the Pennsy
company at Huntingdon covers only
thirty-five acres of land and this large
purchase of land by Mr.. Africa indie
ates a gigantic industrial interest of
some character outside of yards.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong
and Healthy.

/ Ihelr UnceaSlng WORK heepS US Strong
and Healthy.
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneysEonce every three
minutes The kidneys filter the blood,
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when un-
healthy some part of this impure. mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings on
many diseases and symptoms--pain in
( the back, headache, nervousness, hot,
dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel,
disorders of the eyesight. and hearing,
dizziness, irregular heart, debility,
drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the
urine, etc. But if you keep the filters
right you will have no trouble with
your kidneys.
! Augustus Hawn, 327 Second St. i.
Huntingdon, Pa, says: 1t was about
three years ago that my kidneys first
began to give me trouble. The disease
grew on me gradually and constantly
became worse until it reached a stage
Of severity that when l got up in the
morning sharp stinging pains would
catch me in the back and the action of
the kidneys became very regular and
there was hot burning sensation dur
ing passage of the secretions. / tried
all kinds of medicine but nothing
seemed to do me any good. At last l
decided to try Doans Kidney Pills
and found such prompt and unexpect-
ed relief that feel warranted IN re-
commencing this remedy to other suf-
ferers. -

MAY PETITION
REPRESENTATIVE

The proposed law to tax all hunters.
now before the legislature, may meet
with a very determined opposition, if
the sentiments voiced by a number of
sportsmen at the store of M. II. Schram
the other evening may be taken as a
criterion.
Mr.. Schram himself belongs to the
class of true sportsmen and among
those who drop into his place of bust
ness for an hours chat on hunting
affairs are such men as James Scarlet,
the lawyer, and others who are care
full to live up to all the provisions of
existing game laws. AS such, there
fore, their opinions have weight.
At the very beginning it was made
manifest that in the opinion of these
men the proposition to tax hunters is
piece of legislation designed to shut
out the poor man and preserve the
game for the wealthy rather than q
measure to protect game and to give
III u ucIlCI w PiOpaSobOs
The proposed bill sets forth that ey-
cry hunter be taxed one dollar for the
privilege of hunting wild game or
fowl, either for one day or one sea-
son. One dollar. it was held, is very
small sum to the rich man, but to the
poor man, who may have one or more
boys who are anxious to hunt, it is al
together another matter.
Mr.. Scarlet said that the proposed
law in his opinion is wrong-that, If
the purpose is to protect the game, a
more just and equally efficacious way
would be to get after the vermin, foxes
and the like, which every year kill off
large numbers of the choicest game.
Mr.. Schram called attention to the
fact that the proposed law in effect
would be compelling the American
citizen to pay tax for learning the
art of handling firearms. To own and
| to handle a gun, he said. is the desire
of every American youth and any at
tempt to destroy this ambition should
be resisted. The Americans are the
best marksmen in the world as has
been abundantly proven in times of
war, and their proficiency has always
been attributed to the freedom with
which they were permitted to hunt
and to the consequent practice with
fire arms when they were boys.
The company-anu every one was a
sportsman-seemed unanimous in the
conviction that the law should be de-
feated and they approved of petition
to be signed numerously and presented
to our representative. 1t was the sense
that If such legislation be permitted
it will make it just that much easier
to enact other laws Objectionable tC
the hunter, especially to the rural
hunter. until finally none but the rich
can go into the woods to hunt,

GRATITUDE AND VANITY

The philosopher if the Punxsutawney
Spirit declares that "the abolition Of
the annual pass was really good
thing. Of course no legislator or judge
of the courts or other official would
admit that the fact that he had an an
nual pass made any difference in his
conduct toward railroads. But it did.
just the same And the shrewd men
who managed the railroads know it
did. There are two elements in human
nat1re that could not help being more
or less affected-gratitude and van-
ity."

LARGE Vote
AT PRIMARIES

The Republicans in the borough of
Danville and throughout Montour
county held their primaries Friday
between the hours of and 80.
very large vote was polled in each
of the four wards of the borough of
Danville, especially when it is consid-
cred that the weather was not the
kind that usually brings out vote of
large proportions.
The large vote may be accounted
for, however, by the fact that there
we're several hard fights to be decided
Friday eve. In the first ward Harry
Trumbower successfully opposed Amos
Vastine, present incumbent, for the
three years nomination for council,
Mr.. Trumbower polling 50 votes to Mr..
Vastine's al.
In the fourth ward there was quite
a contest for the office of councilman,
the two men voted for being Joseph
Gibson, present incumbent, who is
president of council, and Andrew
Schatz. Mr.. Schatz defeated Mr. Glib
son by one vote.
