CANAL COMPANY ANSWERS.

The answer of the East Jordan Ir-
rigation company to the suit brought
against IL by the city has been filed
brought to condemn right to tako
water through the East Jordan canal,
The canal company denies that the city
owns 1874 second feet of water frum

that the city, to carry out certain con
tracts, must supply water at a higher
level through the Salt Lake City canal.
and insists that all contracts for eI-

Three of the directors are in favor of

SPANISH AMERICAN
WAR VETERANS

On October goth next Danville will
be the scene of distinguished event
in the form Of the reunion of the
Twelfth Regiment association of
Spanish American war veterans.
During the ten years that have
elapsed since the 18th regiment, P. V.
| was mustered out OF service re.
unions in succession have been held
in all the towns but Danville. where
companies of the National guard are
located. Under the circumstances the
reunion comes to Danville this year
and the local members of the associa.
tion are preparing for the event A
meeting Of the Spanish American war
veterans will be held in the Armory
Saturday night.
When call was issued for troops at
the breaking out of the Spanish-Am
erican war in the spring of 1898 the
entire 18th regiment, N G. P, with
the exception Of one officer and fifteen
men, volunteered. The regiment was
mustered into the service of the Unit
ed States as the Twelfth Pennsylvania,
Volunteer Infantry. The regiment was
subsequently recruited to 1O9 officers
and men to each company and on June
20. 1898, numbered SSS officers and
men. The final muster out was con-
cluded on October 30 1898, and it is
on the anniversary Of this date that
the annual reunions are always held
According 10 a conservative estimate
scarcely more than oue-third Of tie
survivors of the Spanish American War
have identified themselves with the
association OF veterans. Speaking for
Company z, only about twenty Of the
hundred or SO who volunteered went
back into the company when the 18th

1t Is hardly probable that more than
four hundred survivors at most will
participate in the reunion to be held
here in October During the session
an especial effort will be made to in-
terest all survivors of the Spanish
American war and increase the mem
bership Of the Veterans Association.
At the reunion among other events

WATER BOYS
TERRIBLE FALL

Charles, the thirteeu-yesI old son Of
II. H. Stetler, Frosty Valley, met
with bad fall at the hospital for the
insane Monday afternoon and sus-
tained what is feared will prove to be
fatal injury.
II. II. Stetler father of the injured
boy, is carpenter employed on the
new buildings at the hospital Charles
was employed as water boy.
The accident occurred about O'Clock
Monday afternoon. Just how it hap
pened no one seems to know exactly.
With his water bucket the boy was
going his rounds on the upper stories.
Among others he gave his father
drink of water and passed on Five
minutes afterward he was found lying
in the cellar many feet below in
pool of blood unconscious. On the
right side of his head was terrible
cash about six inches in length
The boy was carried into the hospit-
al and everything possible was done for
him by DR.. Meredith and other ply
sicians of the hospital staff. Tie doct-
ors are of the opinion that the skull is
fractured and presses in on the brain.
AS time wore on no evidence of re-
turning consciousness appeared.
Mrs. Stetler, the boys mother, was
informed Of the accident by telephone
and drove to the hospital for the in

Of the injury it was decided to remove
the boy to the Joseph Ratti hospital
at Bloomsbury for treatment. Still un-
conscious he was conveyed to Blooms

He was accompanied to the hospital
by his father.
AT Bloomsburg the diagnosis of the

nothing of it until at about 80 O clock
when its persistent screams again
awoke him, lie came downstairs and
found the baby. 1t was lying in a

Fine Herd of 65 Guernseys.

That Montoui county is not behind
any of tie other counties of the State
in the size AMI appointment of its
dairjes is quite evident
When it comes to size the Vincent
dairy in Valley township, which con-
sists Of sixty five Guernseys, probably
carries off the palm. A short stay at
the Vincent farm affords an object
lesson co show the modern and approx
ed methods generally employed in
caring for cattle and milk.
A conspicuous feature Of the Vincent
farm is the COW barn l36x54 feet. Here
the cows are stabbed and fed. The
pasture field on most farms have be-
come a thing OF the past Mr. Vino
ent feeds his herd almost EXCLUSIVELY
on alfalfa cut and fed green.
OF the big herd over fifty COWS are
MIXED, four to seven men being en-
ployed at this work. The operation is
we'll worth a study Before being
MIXED each cow is groomed aud her
udder is washed. This operation takes
place twice a day.
The COW barn has a concrete floor
and is cleaned out every morning.
The accumulation is not allowed to
lie about the buildings: but is
hauled directly into the fields
In connection with the above it
might be stated that Mr. Vincent S
big herd has Just been subjected to the
tuberculin test by Veterinarian J. O..
Reed under the supervision of the
State live stock sanitary board What
makes the test remarkable considering
the size Of the herd is the fact that
none of the COWS were found infected
with disease.
