stands In a class unique by itself, accord
ing TO the recital of it's advantages by n
resident of the place who Is spending a
few days with Oil City friends, says the
Derrick. There is no 'leisure class"
either among the rich or the very poor.
The unspoken, but rigidly enforced rule
of the place is "work or move on" The
results are that there are no l%oafers, no
buns, no dead beats. The little town Is a
veritable hive of industry and there are
no drones. Practically every male csps-
BILE of performing manual or skilled labor
has employment in the saw mills or in
dustries directly connected with them.
There are residents of the place who have
been working for this company for the
past As years. There are no policemen
and the office OF constable is so much of a
s%inecure that 1t is combined with that Of
tax collector. Honesty and willingness
to work are the characteristics of the
population of this attractive little settle
ment where the law under which all come
together is the law of the "Golden Rule"

Fish Wardens Busy.

State Fish Wardens J. P. Alberts and
M. F. Alberts of Harrisburg, were in the
city Thursday. They have been giving
special attention to the Allegheny river,
having pstrolled it from the state line
neal Corydon to K%ittanniug. They are
particularly determined to get the pirates
who are spearing game fish and intend to
stick to the job until this practice is brok-
en- up. They have some exciting Incl
dents to relate. At Foxburg they arrest
ed A. W. Boyd and w. 4. Martin, who
were fined $50 and costs each by Justice
of the Peace A. W. Smiley. Afterwards
they destroyed the boats of these men
by burning, finding Is gallons of oil in
one that made a pretty blaze.
Just below Tr~unkeyville ths Messrs.
Alberts blew up a boat, occupied by sew
eral giggers, by shooting through the
gasoline tank, after the pirates had re-
fused to capitulate. The men took to the
water and escaped in the darkness. The
wsrdens say they have found numbers OF
large game fish, dead, along the river,
salmon and bass up to % inches and a
muscallonge weighing 26 pounds, that
have been killed by the giggers. This
sort of thing will be stopped or the war
dens will know the reason why, they say,
and they lock like men who are ready
upon occasion to fight, row or run a foot
race to get a criminal. Derrick.
