NO TRESPASSING
ON THE CANAL

During the last few days the d. L.
81 W. Railroad company has been set
ting up trespass notices all along the
canal. The warning :s very conspicu-
GUS, appearing on board three feet
in length and fourteen inches wide
supported by heavy post planted on
the bank of the canal. The notice
reads as follows:
Private property of the Delaware,
Laokawanna and Western Railroad
company. All persons are warned from
trespassing under the penalty provid-
ed by the law"
The notices are posted along the
canal not only In the borough but also
above and below town.
The motive of the canal company in
erecting these notices at this time is
not clear. Outside of town, among
the farmers. the move has caused some
apprehension as it is very difficult fol
farmer, whose land is intersected by
the old ditch. to avoid trespassing in
some form.
1t is generally surmised that the OBJ
ject of the owners in posting the no
tioes on the canal is solely to prevent
persons from using it as a dumping
ground, thereby contributing to the
impure and offensive condition in the
bottom, which has become the cause
of so much complaint of late.
1t is quite certain if the canal com
pany chooses to carry its warning into
effect it can prevent further pollution
of the canal by persons who have OBJ
jectionable matter in one form or an.
other to dispose Of.

SPECIAL MEETING
OF COUNCIL

The borough council Monday evening
held a special meeting for the purpose
of passing resolution urging Senator
Cochran and Representative Ammer
man to support the bill relating to
sewage disposal systems in cities, bor
oughs, and other municipalities of this
commonwealth, poviding for the cost
shereof and making an appropriation
for the same.
Briefly, the proposed act provides
that whenever any city or borough
shall be directed by the State depart
ment of health TO cease or plan to
cease emptying its untreated or un-
purified sewage into the waters of the
State and is, therefore, obliged to pro-
vide for the treatment of its sewage
by some system of sewage disposal
then, and in all such cases, the State
shall pay one half of the expense of
constructing such system of disposal
and one half of all necessary additions
thereto and renewals thereof.
Section 2 provides that $3.50, 900 shall
be appropriated to carry out the pro
visions Of the act during the two fiscal
years beginning June /, 1909.
The above sum is considered hope
lessly inadequate by council. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that the sum to be
appropriated Will be raised to a much
higher figure before the bill is in
troduced
Danville is one of those towns that
have been directed by the State de-
partment Of health to provide for the
treatment Of its sewage by some sys-
tenn of sewage disposal. The proposed
bill, therefore, appeals to our council
very strongly, especially, in view of
the fact that the amount to be appro-
priated may be raised higher.
Borough Solicitor f. S, Gearhsrt
was at the meeting aud presented q
copy Of the act. He is much interested
in the matter and strongly urged that
action be taken favoring the passage
of the bill.
The following resolution was duly
enacted
BE IT AND IT Is HEREBY RE
SOLVED by ths town council of
the said Borough Of Dauviile that
Honorable J. Henry Cochran, Senator
from this district, and Honorable r,
Scott Ammogman, representative from

REPORTING TRAINS
BY TELEPHONE

The telephone installed in the D. L.
q W. station here to supplsnt the tele-
graph has not yet gone fully into COM
mission. In few days, however, it
will be used exclusively in running
trains.
At the present the telephone is used
only to report trains. The operator
talks directly to Scranton. On the ar
rival of every train he calls up the
central Office and designating the train
reports that it has arrived, later add
ing the time at which it departed.
A. present orders are still given
trains by telegraph from the central
Office. The operators in the station
here say they are becoming aocustom-
ed to the use of the telephone and
think that by the time it is put wholly
into use they will like it very we'll
Not only at every station but at sid
ings as we'll telephones have been in
stalled. Thus a much better service
has been given the system than when
the telegraph was depended on. Then
train when between Danville and
Northumberland for instance, had no
means of communication. The incon
venience, not to say anxiety, will be
recalled that existed few months ago
wheu passenger broke down at Cam
eron and there was no way either at
Danville or Northumberland of learn
ing what had occurred.
Now at the siding at Cameron. Sc
cure in stout box, is a telephone,
which can be used in such emergenc-
les. When trains take the siding the
conductor will report by phone direct
ly TO Scranton and in the same way
receive orders for leaving. Heretofore,
when trains were on the siding at
Cameron orders could be received only
through other trains.

A SEASONABLE
CHANGE OF " EATHER

The change of weather will be ap
preciated The humid atmosphere OF
several days past proved quite out OF
place considering the season. The con
dition of the streets was such as to
make either walking or driving very
unpleasant.
The snow has nearly all disappeared
and the town, with all its garbage
dumps and ash heaps exposed, presents
very unsightly appearance. Unless
extraordinary precautions are taken to
keep the back yards and alleys clean
and presentable at this season any
town is apt to present forbidding APP
pearance.
1t may be little too early to enter
upon general cleaning up but good
deal can be done by housekeepers at
any season to keep things tidied up,
fixing up fences and removing ash and
garbage piles before they become too
large.

February IA is st. Valentines Day

Oentralia Fears Big Cave In.


The residents of OentIalia are enrag-
ed at the Lehigh Coal company, blam-
ing it for a big cave-in Friday on
lands owned by John O'Donnell. They
say the coal has been mined too close
to the surface aud believe wholesale
collapse of land may result.
A so, 900 fire recently wiped out an
entire square OF buildings in Cen
trslia The mineral rights under the
fire district belong to the company and
contain huge block of coal. Follow
ing the fire the company offered lot
owners a price not to rebuild so that
the fuel could be removed without
fear that cave-ins would cause loss of
life. Some owners sold, while more
rebuilt. The company started to mine
the square, O'Donnells lot being the
first to collapse.
ODonneH unless the company pays
him what he considers fair price for
the lot will likely institute suit for
damages, as will more owners il their
lots are destroyed. The company's
coal land embraces most Of the towns
site and the corporation is busy taking
out all the coal it can from under ii. a
number of houses being partly damsg-
ed as result.

only couple of periods, in which de
sirable ice could be harvested to any
advantage and that a good crop has
been stored away SO early in the sea-

sand tons. of the smaller, three hun
