HARVESTING OATS

The farmers here and there have
begun to harvest oats. The crop is
everywhere a record breaking one due
to the abundant rains that prevailed
long but the heads also are we'll filled
and the grain is heavy. Observing per-
sons who have travelled more or less
during the last month or so state that
at no time in their recollection nave
they seen such heavy crops of oats
In every field may be seen the effects
of the heavy storm of last week, fully
one-half of the oats lying fiat on the
ground. Although attended with some
inconvenience the most of this can be
cut with the reaper, while the quality
of the grain will by no means be i'm
paired.
= farmer from the south side yester-
day stated that the present season is
unusually prolific one for the farmers.
Many of the barns will be inadequate
to hold the crops. All over this sec
tion the wheat is unusually heavy,
while the hay crop is simply without
parallel.
The rain last week came at the right
time to revive the corn and garden
truck, which were beginning to droop
\ similar rain few weeks later, is
all that will be needed to insure II
good crop of corn.
The only crop concerning which
farmers have some misgivings at pres
ent are the late potatoes, which at
many places do not look thriving,
Early POTATOES are doing we'll.

HOME FROM DETROIT

Clarence L. Haupt, DR.. Harry Sober
and W. W. Gulick, of this city, who
left Danville in an automobile, Thurs
day, July 7th, to attend the Elks' con-
vention at Detroit, returned home Tues
day evening after round trip jou rney
of about fifteen hundred miles.
The long trip was made without in
cident beyond the usual tire troubles
that are to be expected on journey
of that kind. In the main the roads
were good-better than those found in
this section of Pennsylvania. The
party saw many beautiful views and
the trip on the whole was enjoyable
Leaving Danville they proceeded to
jamestown, N. Y, thence to Erie,
Pa, and Sandusky, and Toledo, Ohio,
arriving at Detroit on Sunday, the
10th inst.
They left for home last Friday, ship
ping the car to Buffalo. Both going
and coming the party journeyed by
easy stages, spending a day here and
there, wherever any attraction pre-
sented itself. Last Saturday when it
rained, the party remained at Buffalo,
taking in Niagara Falls on the occas-
ion. Leaving Buffalo in the auto they
spent Monday at Watkins Glen, com.
pleting the journey Tuesday.

SUNBURY DISBANDS

The Sunbury base ball team of the
Susquehanna and Four County leagues
was yesterday disbanded by Manager
G. w. Stahl. The Four County league
game scheduled between Nescopeck
and Sunbury for yesterday was not
played.
The situation in base ball circles at
Sunbury is described by last evenings
Sunbury Daily as follows:
After one month of base ball, Man
ager Stahl gave up the business last
night as a bad proposition. The men,
bers of the team were paid off and the
schedule abandoned, The only reason
was the lack of support on the part of
the Sunbury public. The receipts were
insufficient TO meet the expenses and
each day saw the finances going deep
er and deeper. As Mr.. Stahl has been
personally backing the team, the losses
had to be borne by him and LIE decid-
ed To quit before the situation became
worse.
Sunbury wants good base ball but
is unwilling to pay for it, The town
demands strong team and then comes
out to see the games in mere hand
fulls. Such has generally been the ex-
perience in the past. Base ball has sell
dom in all the years of its existance
paid here.
The dropping of Sunbury again COM
plicates matters of this circuit. 1t will
now be necessary for President McCol-
lum to call meeting of the managers
to drop another team from the circuit,
or take another one on in Sunburys
place.

AFTER TRESPASSERS

The Reading railway has joined in
the movement against trespassers
Superintendent j. E. Turk, of the Sha-
mokin division, with offices at Tam
aqua, has sent to the agents and train
masters on his division the following
communication "Trespassing on the
railroad property in violation of the
law is daily causing the loss of many
lives. With view of reducing to a
minimum trespassing on the railroad
tracks by the public, every reasonable
effort to encourage the enforcement of
the laws or to prevent such Illegal
trespassing entailing danger to life
should be executed. Many men, wo-
men and children employed by factor
les take great chances by walking
along and crossing the tracks, and
feel that everything that reasonably
can should be done by you and bring
to the attention of the borough and
city authorities such cases as deserve
attention.

regimental rifle match, which began
at Sunbury yesterday to contiue until
Saturday. These rife matches are held
annually, each company along with
the field and staff being represented
by team of three men.
The interest that ordinarily attaches
to the rifle matches of the National
Guard in Danville is much accentuat.
ed by the fact that the expert marks
men of Company F are pretty sure to
win prizes and by reason of their scores
to be selected to shoot at the matches
higher up.
Following the match now being held
at Sunbury regimental rifle match
will take place at Mt. Gretna, at
which the various regiments will be
pitted against each other. At this
match each regiment will be represent
ed by the members of the company
teams that make the best showing.
Those whose scores are the best at the
regimental match in turn will be sell
ected for the team that will contest in
the brigade match, which will be held
at Mt. Gretna after the regimental
match is over. Those attaining the
highest score at the brigade match
will be selected for the national match
which will be held finally at Camp
Perry, Ohio.
While all three of the men compos-
ing the team of Company f now parti-
cipating in the regimental match are
crack shots Private Eisenhower is
probably the most distinguished and
has climbed to the top notch, being
selected last year to shoot on the State
team at Camp Perry. Corporal Beagle
has repeatedly represented the regi-
ment at the Mt. Gretna matches Ser
geant Yeager. although an expert
marksman, is on the company team
for the first time this year.
Under the circumstances the scores
of the team will be watched with
good deal of interest this year. In ad-
dition to the preferment of being sell
ected for the Iegimental, brigade or
State teams there are many prizes to
be won at the matches and the marks
men from Company + have always
carried off their full share. The prizes
being contested for embrace great
variety, one being known as the
Sweisfort badge, " which was pre-.

NUMBER Of
DOGS ASSESSED

Just at present when an outbreak of
rabies Is fresh on the mind the subject
OF dogs is not an inappropriate one.
In the above connection the aues
tlon might be asked how many dogs
there are in Danville or, more to the
point, how many of the CANNES are as
sessed i'll the borough. The number is
not large. Taking in mongrels and
dogs OF high degree the assessors on
thelr rounds found only one hundred
and slXty-three. In the entire county
there are only one thousand and seven
dogs-according to the assessors lists.
Liberty township has the largest
number of dogs-152; Washingtonville
has the smallest number-9. Anthony
township is close second of Liberty
with l4S dogs. Valley, Derry and Nah.
onlng townships also embrace among
their population many dog fanc1ers
and possess respectively 116, 112 and
Ioo dogs. In other townships dogs are
assessed as follows: Cooper, 4S; Lime.
stone, So; Mayberry, 43; West Hemlock,
4S. In Danville dogs are assessed as
follows: First ward, 46; second ward,
40; third ward, "a 4; fourth ward, A.
In Danville the dog population f1uc-
tuates considerably. In 1909 the as
SCISSORS lists revealed dogs as follows:
First ward, 10; second ward, SO; third
ward, 40; fourth ward, 10. In 1908 the
showing was as follows: First ward.
73 dogs; second ward, n dogs; third
ward, 28 dogs; fourth ward, 81 dogs.
In 1909 Washingtonville had 70 dogs
and in 1908 16 dogs.
Dogs are assessed at one dollar. In
the borough of Danville one-half of
the tax goes to the borough and the
other half to the county. The dog tax
is used to reimburse farmers for sheen
killed by dogs.

A FOUNDER
OF RIVERSIDE

o, H. Ostrander. the veteran civil
engineer of the south side and father
of Real Estate Agent George B. Os-
trander, Tuesday paid Danville the
first visit in eighteen months. He spent
several hours in the office of his son,
Mill street, where he was called upon
by number of our townsmen. AL
though physically infirm Mr.. Ostrand-
er's mind is as clear and vigorous as
it was twenty years ago.
He came to Danville in 1858, when
only twenty years of age. He was a
civil engineer. Later he took up book
keeping. He was employed by the
Grove Brothers among others, and was
always prominently identified with af-
fairs. His memory is remarkable and
in reverting to old times he is apt to
recall many incidents of the town his
tory that are well-nigh forgotten.
Mr. Ostrander was one of the pro-
moters of the borough of Riverside
He is inclined to concede to the late
George w. West the honor of taking
the preliminary steps in the founding
er. At the same time facts are on rec
ord to show that Mr.. Ostrander was
among the first on the.ground and that
it was due to his enterprise and per-
sonal sacrifices that church was built
and the little borough was placed up
ON its feet The nucleus of the town
was laid prior to 1870, and from that
time ON Mr. Ostrander was a leading
spirit on the south side.
AS civil.engineer here Mr.. Ostrander
is in possession of and has at ready
command an enormous amount of data
relating to boundary lines, etc. which
on occasion proves of incalculable
value to our town. He is frequently
consulted in such matters.
Mr.. Ostrander stated Tuesday that
there is abundant material for a his
tory of Danville and vicinity more
pretcntious and more interesting than
any that has yet been written-in
which might be set forth the career of
those remarkable men and full de-
scription of those pioneer industries
that successively and to such excellent
purpose wrought and were operated
here. He feels confident that the man
will yet arise before what is remem.
bered of the early days passes into
oblivion who will properly record the
events so thrilling in their day, and so
intimately identified with the general
history.
