TO WELCOME
THE Big FLEET

Chief Burgess W. J. Rogers has re-
ceived an invitation to be present in
San Francisco when the great Amerj-
can feet now steaming up along the
western coast of the continent reaches
that city month or SO later. The
communication addressed to the "May-
or" of Danville. came to hand yester.
day. 1t reads as follows:
"You are respectfully invited to at
tend the festivities in honor of the
officers and men Of the American feet,
which will assemble in the bay of San
Francisco on arrival during the month
Of May, 1905"
The invitation is signed by Edward
Robson Taylor, Mayor of City and
County of San Francisco. and by James
d. PhelaD, Chairman of the official
committee.%.for the reception of the
fleet.
Burgess Rogers highly appreciates
the honor of the invitation, although he
has not yet come to a final conclusion
as to whether or not he will attend.

the pension committee. Pensions
granted upon his recommendation in
this district alone are numbered in the
thousands. The bills introduced by
him, and his work as congressman,
were such as to entitle him totthe un-
stinted paise of our'people.
1t is not our purpose, at this time,
however, to review his official career,
but to refer to Dr. Samuel, townsman
Since last he has stepped into public
affairs the community here has had
much cause to recognize in him a man
among men, public spirited citizen
man who has rendered priceless SER
vice to our town.
"No one at this time can calculate
the good that the Doctor did in un-
tangling the trolley affairs-how he
stepped in when most deplorable
condition confronted us, ended strike
which had proven disastrous and cost
ly to the community, brought order
out of chaos. and by his diplomacy and
sacrifice Of money proved himself a
public benefactor.
"The ending of the great trolley
strike of last year will ever be point
ed to as one of DR.. Samuel's browning
achievements. He succeeded where 9TH
er men-men of money and shrewd
business acumen-had failed. Every
trolley employe, every miner who has
work on the cars, in fact, every man,
woman and child residing in this
locality, protited by his good work.
1.-THE good of this community. the
promotion of its business interests, and
the advancement of its citizens, has
ever been uppermost in his mind. He
is the only congressman from this dis
trict who ever honored Mount Car
mel hoy with an appointment to West
Point. He has helped numbers of citi-
zens in various ways, and has never
turned deaf earsto an appeal. where
the cause was worthy.
doctor Samuel will be unopposed
for nomination by the Republicans.
He is recognized to be the strongest
man in the district, and tie logical
man to represent us in congress.
If the sentiment in Mount Carmel
is any indication of the political situa
tion, our townsman will be elected by
the largest majority ever given a con-
gressional candidate. Mount Carmel
will take advantage of its opportunity
to pay him glittering tribute of re-
spect and esteem. "

DIR. SAMUEL OUT
FOR CONGRESS

DR. E. W. Samuel. on Thursday of
last week announced himself as a call
diadte for congress and on the day of
his announcement the following article
appeared in the. Mount Carmel Item:
''Dr. e. W. Samuel, of Mount Car
mel, today announces himself as a can
didate for congress In this, the Six
teenth congressional district, subject
to the Republican primaries.
'rhis action. while no doubt ex-
pected throughout the entire district,
was not definitely decided upon by our
townsmsn and former congressman,
until few days ago. Leaders of the
Republican party and many of the best
Democrats in the four counties have
written to him and advised him to be
candidate. The call was plain and
unmistakeable. The people wanted the
Doctor to enter the field, and he has
consented.

TRUANCY In THE
HIGH SCHOOL

Now that the season of the year has
arrived when we may naturally expect
a month or six weeks of bad roads the
stretch Of State highway between this
city and Mausdale looms up as a real
blessing to the several hundred people
who daily drive over it. Where iu the
past at this season the wheels sank in
to the mire nearly axle deep the
vehicles now roll easily along over the
hard macadam.
AS is revealed by the experiment be-
tween Danville and Mausdale the con-
struotion of State highway affords a
practical solution of the problem of
keeping bad roads in repair: also, not
withstanding the outlay, considerable
as it may seem, such highway is
cheap in the end.
Derry, Valley, Limestone and Lib
erty townships have made application
for State highways. Some of these
townships applied the year before last
Montour oounty's pro rata share of the
annual appropriation for roads was
absorbed at least in part by the recon-
structon of North Mill street last year.
There shouli be money available this
year for the reconstruction of roads is
one or more of the above named town
ships that have made application.
The stains of affairs in our county
relating to road reconstruction with
State aid would prove an absorbing
topic for the annual convention of the
township supervisors.
Montour county has only about two
miles of State highway, small pro-
portion indeed, of its total mileage of
roads, which mileage, according to the
supervisors reports, presented when
the new road law went into effect,
is some 385 miles.
The above named townships will, no
doubt, be on the alert and each in it's
turn prepared to act as fast as the
States appropriation for roads be-
comes available.

DEVELOPMENT Of the PennsH

An idea of the vastness of the Penn.
sylvania railroad system-and its i'm.
portance to the country it traverses-
is to be obtained from figures in the
annual Record of Transportation
Lines, Just compiled by the mainten-
ance of way departments of the sys-
tenn These figures show a total mile
age of l,0S0. 60 of which 1854. SO are
located east of Pittsburg and Erie. AID
4 925, 81 west of Pittsburg.
The lines penetrate thirteen states
and the District of Columbia, the
greatest mileage being in Pennsvl-
vania, where the system has O67. 4S
miles of line. Ohio is second with
,s3l. l3 miles and Indiana is third
with l.54l.S2 miles. There are S23 O6
miles of line in New York and III Or

"A miles, Maryland 552. 20, Michigan
435. SO, and Delaware 274. % miles. In
the District of Columbia and each of
the states of Kentucky, Missouri. Vir.
ginia and West Virginia-termiui of
different portions of the systematic
mileage is less than 100.
The total trackage of the system
amounts to 23. 572 miles, of which 49,
'oS are east of Pittsburg, and 9, 74s. 10
are west of that point. The intensive
development of the system, to meet re-
quirements of commerce, in recent
years is to be seen in the fact that
while the mileage has increased oplv
olo' 10 since December 81, 1908, the to.
tai trackage has increased 3,O27 miles.

OUR STATE
HIGHWAYS

The suggestion of spring that is en-
bodied in these March days turns the
thoughts of the school boys toward
truanoy. Attendance Officer Young
bore psrplexed and jaded look Tues
terday and he told his troubles freely.
Up to within a recent time, it seems,
playing hockey" was not practiced to
any considerable extent in the high
school. The officer, it is true, was
kept fairly busy rounding up the boys
of the lower grades but he had no diff
Guilty in showing good result, few tru-
ants being able to elude him longer
than half day at time.
During a few weeks past the officer
says truancy has become problem in
the high school. To match the wits
and ingenuity of a lad Is or II years
old is quite a different proposition
from handling boys of ten or twelve
and the officer made no secret of the
fact that he was not meeting with sat
isfactory results in his efforts to keep
the big boys in school.
He suggested that if the matter
could be brought before the parents
in some way they might be able to
render valuable assistance in keeping
down truancy. He is inclined to be-
lieve that boys play truant who mau-
age to keep all knowledge of it away
from the parents.
The officer suggests as a remedy that
the parents pay strict attention to the
noting especially the attend
ance. He thinks that in many inst
ances the boys might be deferred from
truancy if they felt convinced that the
matter would in this way be brought
to the attention of their parents.
