Sixteen Thousand
Patches in Quilt
Punxsutawney Lady Spends
Many Years Working On
The Article.

Henry Moser, of this place, recently
read in a local newspaper an account
OF a Reynoldsville woman who had com.
pleted work on a bed quilt that was
made up Of 3,042 pieces or patches
The writer of the article intimated
that the object he was describing was
perfect "phenom" in-its line, and tina,
it would probably capture the frs,
prize at any quilt show or county fair
In the country.
Mr.. Moser believes that he has 9
quilt that would put the bug all oyer
the Reynoldsville dry goods in any
kind Of contest. 1t is made Of 12s
rows OF patches, and 12S patches In
each row, total of 1884 patches, and
over five times the number OF patches
in the Reynoldsville bed decoration.
Mrs. Moser, who made the quilt
began work on 1t when she was 8
young girl, and the quilt was not com
pleted until several years after hei
marriage to Mr.. Moser. The quilt ha.
been exhibited at several fairs, in
cluding those held at Punxsutawney
and Dayton, and it has never failed te
draw down the blue ribbon.
Mrs. Moser has had some tempting
offers for her quilt, but she has declined
all of them with thanks.-Punxsu

SHOULD REVOLUTIONIZE
GLASS MANUFACTURING
Culburn Machine Can Be Op-
Grated at Remarkably
| ow Cost.
INTERESTING COMPARISONS.

Perhaps many of our citizens are not
aware of the fact that the Colburn
glass manufacturing machine, with
which the Star Glass Company plant
at Reynoldsville is being equipped, is
the cheapest and most economical glass
manufacturing machine that is made
to day, and those who have seen
the machine work are sanguine that
it will be a complete success and will
enable the Star Glass Company to
manufacture good glass at less ex-
pense than any OF its competitors,
which will mean that the plant will
run about fortv-five weeks each year,
make big dividends for the stock
holders, and being an important in
dustry in our town A comparison of
the cost of operating the Colburn
machine with the cost of operating
American Window Glass Cylinder ma
chimes, and cost of producing the same
amount OF glass by blowers at present
scale OF wages, shows big saving of
expenses in the production Of glass by
Colburn machine. Here is COM
parison OF cost OF producing glass:
Double strength glass, per box so
square feet, Colburn 10 cents, American
machine 80 cents, blowers so cents.
Single strength porportionately as
cheap. This shows that the Colburn
machine will produce a so 50. # box
of double strength glass 40 cents
cheaper than the American machine
and 10 per box cheaper than with
blowers, the old system under which
the glass plant here WAS formerly oper-
4 ated. Quite saving on the cost of
production.
The normal consumption of window
glass In the United States yearly, In
cluding Importation, Is about 100000
boxes, so SO. IT. each, and it is claimed
that one Colburn machine will produce,
operating forty-fve weeks in year,
approximately 100000 boxes, so that
eighty machines would make all the
glass the country demands.
The plant will not employ as many
men under the new system as it did
under the old system, with glass blow.
ers, but it will run almost continuously
and in the year will give average en-.
ployment to about same number as the
the plant did under the old system
running six or seven months each year
will put about same amount OF money
In circulation as it did before, and will
leave snug dividend for the stock
holders.

PROJECT
Line Will Eventually Connect
CIariun and Pittsburg,
Via Butler.
ARNOLDS ARE ITS PROMOTERS

Last Monday night the council passed
an ordinance granting to the Clarion
and East Brady Electric Railway Com
pany franchise covering the streets
OF this borough for the use of that COM
pany. The ordinance is so made that
the company must have their charter
and to have started the work within
two years and have cars in operation
within six years. The parties asking
for the franchise are G. e. Arnold, F.
M. Arnold and I. S. Arnold, all OF this
place. The line proposed is from this
place to East Brady, via Sligo and
Rimersburg, distance OF 25 miles.
At East Brady they will connect with
the line being built from Butler to that
place. At Butler they will connect
with the line to Pittsburgh This will
give us connection with Pittsburgh
in SO miles. We understand that the
gentlemen have ample financial assist
ance to make the road SUCCESS. The
road will cost about 100000. OF this
$1,000 for every mile of proposed road
and ten per cent Of the capital stock
must be paid in before the charter is
granted. 1t would be wise for the
townships and boroughs through which
they will pass to aid this project as 1t
will mean much to each community

Does Not Apply
To Non-Residents
Judge John w. Reed Gives A
Decision Concerning Poll
Tax Assessment.

In 1905 law was passed providing
that in addition TO the millage tax 10
townships or boroughs that $l.00 be
assessed to every resident taxable, and
this assessment is in the nature Of a
poll tax. j. M. Norris, who resides
in Winslow township, and pays the
additional dollar in that township,
owns property in Henderson township
and the assessor in Henderson township
added the 81 90 to Mr.. Norris taxes
in that township, and Mr.. Norris paid
the 81 90 couple of times under pro.
test, but last year the case was taken
to the county court and Judge John
W. Reed gave the following decision
in the case, which may be of interest
to assessors and taxpayers in other
townships
every taxable against whom the
sum of 81 90, in addition to the millage
tax, shall be assessed as provided in
Section of the Act Of April l2th 1905,
p. L. 142, means every resident tax
able. This 81 90 assessment is in the
nature of poll tax and cannot be made
against a nonresident of the township
who may be the owner of real estate
therein. This has been repeatedly de-
cided and needs no further Celebrations
by me. See Indendence Township

with the case stated judgment is there

Article 4, Section 4, OF the Con-
stitution OF Utah, provides: when
authorized to create Indebtedness as
provided in Section 3, of this article,
no county shall become indebted to
an amount, including existing in
debtedness, exceeding two percentum;
provided, that no part of the indebt-
edness allowed in this section, shall
be incurred for other than strictly
county purposes"
II is not the intention of the writ
err to discuss how the bonds should
be floated; how taxes should be levied
to pay interest and principal on bonds
nor any question pertaining to the
sinking fund. The county commits
sioners are governed by the laws of
the State of Utah in such cases made
and provided. The first step is to
get the money for road purposes;
how to properly spend II will be the
next step. Much of this work can
be done by our own citizens.
All members of the board of COVER
nors of the commercial club OF Bear
River Valley, who have been inter-
viewed are in favor of bonding the
county for the construction Of high
ways.
Read what some of our leading
citizens have to say:
Hon. John p. Holmgren says:-'J
am In favor of bonding the county
to its lawful capacity for road pur-
poses"
Jos. Jensen, ex-county clerk, said:
ttt N nj
the county for $200,000.00 for the
construction of highways. / shall
use my influence to bring about the
desired result"
Moronl Mortensen, president of the
b. r. V. r. G.. Assn, said;-"I am in
favor of good roads and cannot sec
how this result can be obtained with.
out Indebtedness.
Hon. w. s. Hansen said:-"I am
certainly in favor of good roads bu;
have not as yet framed an opinion
how the money should be raised for
road purposes"
Alma Nelson. one of the directors
of the First National Bank of Brig
ham City. said:-"Sure, am in favor
of bonding the county for roads. We
certainly have a remedy in bonding.
p. NJ. Hanson, chairman of the Co
school board said:-'I am of the un
qualified opinion that Box Elder coun
ty should be bonded two per centum
of its assessed valuation of taxable
property for road purposes"
Below Is statement of David
Holmgren, manager Farmers Cash
Union:
"In answer to the question, care
you in favor of bonding the county
for the construction of highways"
Will say that an affirmative answer is
strictly in keeping with present day
progress and developments. Bad
roads have been a direct cause of loss
to us in our shipments by reason of
inability to load cars at specified
times, thus violating contracts and
agreements, besides an numerically
lot of demurrage to pay for detention
of cars.
