FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.
A timber deal of considerable note YVES
consummated recently that for acreage
surpasses the majority OF sales. The par
ticulars, which we are unable TO give as
authentic, are substantially as follows:
DIR. j. G. Dunn, J.J. Landers and J. F.
Proper, all of Tionesta, are the owner OF
the deal going through a couple weeks
ago. This tract comprises about 5000
acres and lies on Salmon creek and its
tributaries. There is considerable local
history attached to this property thai
through lack of space we are unable &c
give. Some 25 years ago the start wa
made TO denude this vast tract of it,
monster forest beauties and we nigh
say that all these years have seen thu
forest grow smaller until now there il
but a handful, as it were, left. The sieg,
against this timber was carried on by
several companies, a few of which W,
might mention tere: j. NJ. Kepler, TIC
nesta Lumber Co, II. d, Collins, and tn,
Salmon Creek Lumber Co. The las
named company operated the tract unit
the contract expired in 1906. Since theI
nothing has been removed. 1t is esti
mated there are 100, 900 cords of pull
wood, aside from the saw timber, still
remaining on the lands. The timber TO
manufacturing is upward of ten million
feet. The pulp wood will go to the New
York and Pennsylvania Company a
J~ohnsonburg, while the saw timber ha,
as yet not been contracted for.
The primary election held in the hal
Saturday was very light, owing to tn,
fact that but very few candidates we're VI
for nomination. j. G. Watson, our HON,
candidate for Associate Judge, received
very flattering vote, IS to 4. This is in
deed a good way to show ones friend
ship, and although defeated in the coun
ty, one has the assurance that they cal
poll a good vote where they are bes
known.
Our first twilight ball game of the sea
son was played on the home grounds
Saturday between the Marienville team
and our home team. The game was

had been ground off to the entire salts fac
ton of the home team, the game was
called on recount OF darkness, score IL to
8, u game. The Marienville boys con-
Quoted themselves as gentlemen and took
their defeat gracefully, this making their
second loss for II afternoon, the May
burg boys treating them to a similar
drubbing as they received at our hands.
