END OF LUMBER TOWN

The end of Jamison City, at one
time one of the busiest Lumber towns
in the State, to which the Bloomsbury
and Sullivan railroad, thirty mi&e
one track line, was built, is in sight.
The work of peeling the bark of the
Central Pennsylvania Lumber COM
pany's tract was completed last week,
and the big force of men is at work
getting ii to the Jamison City tan
merry The big" mill will he started
III November and the saving OF the
logs will not be stopped until it has
been completed, which, it is thought,
will be in about two years. For the
tannery there is a bark supply for
about ten years, and then that like
wise will pass out of existence. The
town has "a population of about 500.

HOW THE SERVICE
MAY BE AFFECTED

The policy of retrenchment adopted
by the post office department is destin-
ed to affect the free delivery service
of Danville and may at times give
some parts of town only one delivery
per day.
In order to cut down expenses no
substitute carriers will be allowed in
towns the size of Danville. This i'm
plies that when one of the four car
riers regularly employed is off ON his
annual vacation the other there will
have to do the work The formal ord
er to this effect has been received by
Postmaster w. l.. Gouger.
Fortunately in Danville two of the
carriers had their vacation before the
order went into effect. The regular
city substitute successiveIy took the
place of the absent carrier and the
mail throughout town was delivered
with its accustomed promptness.
When the other two carriers in sue
cession take their vacation the re-
the ground with both deliveries each
day. The town will be reapportioned
for the vacation season. The morning
delivery will always be made, al
though at some places the carrier may
not appear until later than the patrons
are accustomed to. No effect will be
apparent on the business delivery,
which each day will be promptly
made. In the afternoon delivery the
town will be covered as far as posi-.
Bile, but the patrons must be indulg.
ent in two respects: first, the delivery
may be late and second, the carrier
may not appear at all. Whatever the
short comings may be thoughtful per
sons will remember that the local post.
office is in no way responsible, but
that inadequacy rather is to be at,
tributed to the postmaster general who
in his determination to cut down ex.
penses has brought about the condi.
tions.
The act of June 25, 1910, requiring
rural free delivery carriers to admin.
lister oaths and execute pension vouch.
els is now in effect, the blanks relat.
ing to the act that the carriers are re-
quired to sign having arrived at the
local post Office yesterday.
Carriers while serving their routes
will not be permitted to deviate there
from to execute vouchers. Pensioners
must meet carriers on their routes OF
make arrangements to meet them al
! their own or at the carriers residences.
a rural letter carrier can not eX.
ecute his own voucher, and temporary
and substitute carriers are not qualifi.
ed to execute pension vouchers.

A NlGERlAN LEGEND.
II Tells of the Origin of Mans Sub
lection to Women.

IL IelIs OF the origin OF Mans Sub
lection to Women.
There is a quaint old Nigerian legend
that relates the origin of mans sub
lection to women.
At the beginning of things. the le-
gend runs, the world was peopled by
women only. One day the earth god.
Awbassi MAI. happened by accident to
kill woman. On hearing this the rest
gathered together and prayed that, if
he meant to slay them, he would bring
destruction on all together rather than
kill them one by one.
Awbassi was sorry for the grief he
had caused and offered as compensa-
ton to give them anything they should
choose out of all his possessions. They
begged him to mention what he had to
give and said that they would all cry
"Yes" when he named the thing they
wished to have.
Awbassi mentioned one by one all
his fruits. fowls and beasts, but at
each they shouted No" At length
the list was nearly ended-only one
thing remained TO offer.
Twill you. then, take man." asked
Awbassi at last. "Yesw they roared
In great shout, and. catching hold Of
one another. danced for joy at the
thought of the gift Awbassi was send
ing.
Thus men became the servants of
women and have to work for them to
this day

St. Paurs Nj. E. Church Notice

The American Federation of Labor
at its last annual convention set apart
the Sunday previous to Labor Day as
a day when ali the organizations of
labor should 20 to the churches in
their neighborhood and join in the
services.
In keeping with this recommenda- e
tion the pastor of Saint Paul's NJ. f.
church of this city has invited "a mum
ber of the labor organizations of the
city to come to that church next sun
day evening and his invitations have
been heartily received and he has re-
ceived assurance that large number
will be present.
This is an invitation to the general
public to come and join in the service.
The pastor himself came from the
ranks of the working people. He un-
derstands their problems. He has not
been hoodwinked by organized labor
as some would claim. Come to Saint
Paul's next Sunday and worship with

ALIASES BY THE
WAGONLOAD

The first of the warrantee aliases
(there will be one for each county OF
the state) authorized by the act OF
June 10, 1907, has been received at
the Office of the Register and Record
er and is worthy of study.
The atlas, some "a by p inches IN
size, and containing 80 pages of linen
lined paper bound in heavy boards,
is naturally ponderous and unwieldy.
Register and Recorder Sidler, who
was trying yesterday to find suit-
able place for keeping the atlas, was
not a little dismayed at the thought
that in process of time he will have
sixty-six others to take care of.
Former Deputy State Superintend-
ent Henry Houck as Secretary of In
ternal affairs is directly connected
with the production of the aliases,
each one being constructed under his
direction from records on file in the
Department of Internal Affairs and
from surveys made on the ground.
According to the law authorizing
the construction the maps must show
the outlines of the original survey,
names of warrantees, dates of war
rents, dates of surveys, names of pat
entees and other important details,
which may appear in the originals to
gether with county, township, city
and borough lines and such textual
matter as may be considered necessary.
The atlas that has arrived is of
Lawrence county. 1t contains in
succession map of the survey dis
tricts, a township index map, follow
ed by maps of the separate townships.
The maps contain only the bound
aries and the above enumerated data.
The public highways and the usual
features that make such map valu-
able in the community are absent.
The atlas of Montour county and
probably of the counties that bound il
will no doubt prove of value for ref
erence here but the officials at the
court house confess that they can not
see what use we will have for the
other aliases some sixty in number
that are TO be unloaded on the register
and recorders office.
In this connection it should be eX.
planned that the county commission
ers' office is also to receive set of at
lases one for each county in the state.
The workmanship both as relates to
the type and binding is exquisite. The
cost is no doubt very heavy, while
the work progresses slowly. There is
no telling when an atlas of Montour
county will be produced.

SITUATION IN
BUSINESS WORLD

Henry Clews' weekly letter says
Aside from politics, the situation is
somewhat conflicting. The process of
readiustment in industrial and com
mercial affairs is making steady pro
gress and, although not by any means
completed, the general situation can
be accepted as safer and sounder in
consequence of the rectification al
ready accomplished 1t is hardly to
be expected that the arrangements fol-
lowing so many years of uninterIupt-
ed prosperity can be satisfactorily ad-
justed in the short space of seven
months. Nevertheless, the country Is
making excellent progress, not only
in recovering its equilibrium, but in
actual recuperation. Fortunately our
crop outlook is better than a month
ago. Corn has been making steady
progress during the past week, and the
outlook for 3, 600, 600, 900 bushel crop
is fairly reasonable, if damage by frost
be escaped. Cotton is also doing well
and should, if free from frost, turn ont
larger than at one time anticipated.
1t will be remembered that wheat has
already disappointed the pessimistic
predictions of July. There is, there
fore, now little or no danger of crop
failure, and the country is almost cer-
tain of securing fairly satisfactory
harvest. Although prices are frequent
ly lower than last year, they will yield
good profits to the farmers. This prob
ably explains the confined optimistic
reports which come from the West, that
section having steadily refused to SER
iously sympathize with the pessimism
which has spread all through the East.
The further west one goes the more
optimistic is the temper.

ScrapeTS OF present.
According to an octogenarian, the
height of buildings in New York has
dealt a dcathblow TO an old supersti-
tion that animated many a country
youth who came To New York to make
his fortune sixty years ago,
Heaven knows how they came by
the belief" said he. but most of those
up state boys came 10 the city thinking
that if they could toss coin over a
house that they took a fancy to at the
first try the house would be theirs some
day.
at was one of my sureSt convictions,
and put it to a test Immediately after
paying for my first meal in New York.
The only money had left was an old
fashioned three cent piece. With that
in my hand | walked around looking
for desirable piece of property. Pret-
ty soon a corner lot on which stood a
two story and a half brick house took
my eye
81 had practiced coin throwing in
the country. so l let my three cent
piece 90 for all it was worth over the
front OF the house and ran around to
the back to see where 1t landed. 1t
went clean over. l knew then that
that house and lot would be mine in
due time. and. sure enough, they were.
People don't WOO fortune by Tipping
coins these days. The fellow whose
success depended upon tossing a three
cent piece over the Singer building
would be in a pretty bad fix"
