SUNBURY'S LAND
MYSTERY EXPLAINED

For the past two years the people OF
this section of the State have been
puzzled to know what the land buying
mystery in Monroe township Of Sny-
der county across the river from Sun
bury meant. By the recording of some
papers at the court house at Middle
burg Saturday the mystery has been
unveiled to a certain extent.
J. Murray Africa, of Huntington,
was engaged during the entire summer
OF 1906 in buying up all the land from
Shamokin Dam to Selinsgrove, and
succeeded in landing forty-fve differ
ent tracts, many of them being large
farms, making a total of several thou
sand acres of the most fertile land in
Snyder county. The land was first
optioned for six months and charter
was secured in the name Of the State
Realty company, and it was to this
company that the land was decided.
Andrew A. Lesser. of Lewisburg.
attorney for the Pennsylvania Rail
road company, was at the court house
Saturday and filed a deed from the
State Realty company to the Northern
Central Connecting Railroad company
for these forty-two tracts for consid-
GRAFTON of $l73. 22O.
The deed was signed by J. Murray
Africa, president; John d. Myton,
| secretary, and j. S. VanZandt treasur.
er.
Along with the deed that was enter
ed in the recorders Office appear some
equity papers filed in ghe prothonot-
ary's Office by the Northern Central
Connecting Railroad company against
the Sunbury and Selinsgrove Electric
Street Railway company.
While it is now positively known
who the real purchaser Of the land is,
there is no longer so much mystery
with regard TO the proposed use Of the
land, as it is evidently intended for a
large railroad yard and the building
of railroad from Shamokin Dam TO
Dunoannon and perhaps some car shoI s
or other manufacturing establishment
akin to the railroad interests.
Along with these announcements
comes the advertisement of a large lot
sale on the edge of the improvement
lands, so that it would appear that
something was going to happen real
soon in the eastern part of Snyder

PHILADELPHIA, June II.

Sitting in chair by the window
where sat Betsy Ross when she made
the first American flag, Mrs Charles
w. Alexander, of the new State 4
Oklahoma, yesterday, promptly as the
clock struck 3 sewed star on a brand
new flag.
The star bore the word Oklahoma. "
and made the forty-sixth planted in
the field of blue
At precisely the same minute, in
Guthrie, the capital of the baby state,
ninety two women were gathered
around similar flag, on which one of
their number was likewise sewing the
forty-sixth star These are the first
editions of the new flag.
1t was bit of patriotic sentiment
which inspired the residents of the
newest State. On and after July 4 of
this year every flag of the United
States Will have forty.six stars. Okla.
homans decided that the only place
where flag could be made which
would deservingly represent their
patriotism was in the old Betsy Ross

On the Fourth of July Governor C.

cation Of citizens will be in Phiiadel-

flag which was completed by Mrs.
Alexander yesterday will be raised
above Independence Hall. A program
| of addresses and song will follow, and
at ~ o'clock the flag will be hauled
down to be taken back to Oklahoma,
while the flag made in Oklahoma yes.
terday will be raised in its place.
When the new flag floats over the
historic building the news will be
sent by telegraph to every city il
Oklahoma that can be reached by the
Morse system. The Oklahomans il
Philadelphia will sing 1.-The Star
Spangled Banner" and at virtually
the same instant the Oklahomans il
their own State will join in the choru

Esienstts Of the FLAG.

The army regulations of the United
States provide that the flag at every
post shall he raised at reveille each
morning ana lowered each evening ut
sunset, while the soldiers stand at sa.
lutte and the band plays The star
Spangled Banner"
The flag is never left ont overnight
for any reason, except perhaps one.
When a fort or military post is actual.
~ under fire from the enemy the flag
may wave defantly Until hostilities are
over. This was poetically eXenplifed
in Keys immortal song. wherein one
line has it, Through the night our flag
was still there
At all army posts, moreover, there is
special storm flag, half as large as
the regular post flag, which Is flown
In stormy ana windy weather
Another regulation is that on all oc-
casions when the flag is displayed at
half mast it shall be lowered to that
position from the top of the staff 1t
is hoisted TO the top of the staff before
Il Is finally lowered. d.-H9rper' Weekly

If compromise be reached today upon
the disputed planks of the Republican
platform, and if trouble over the COM
mittee reports do not extend over

tomorrow will be clear for the nomi-
mating speeches and that the close Of
the day may see thief close of the con-
vention.
One of the most remarkable and well
come features Of the convent on SO far
has been the ideal weather The early
hours gave promise of another pleasant
day fair and cool after the fashion Of
mid September. This condition great
ly refreshed the weary hours Of the

able. In fact it has been almost too

GEORGETOWN'S
NAME is CHANGED

The town OF Georgetown is blotted
off the map Of Northumberland coun-
ty. Not by earthquake, fire, famine or
determination is it lost to humanity,
but by the official action Of the Penn
sylvauia railroad, which went into
effect yesterday authorizing the chang
ing of the name on the board at the
station and in the various time tables
and other official documents of the
company from Georgetown to the more
imposing title Of Dalmatia This &C
ton follows some years after that of
the postoffioe department, which offici-
ally designated the town Dalmatia TO
avoid confusion with another George
town in different part of the State.
Though Dalmatia it may be TO the
postoffice and the Pennsylvania rail
road, Georgetown it remains to the
inhabitants and Georgetown it is like.
ly to remain for years to come.
