RECOMMEND
RETAINING WALL

The grand jurors after probably the
shortest session ever held in Montoul
county presented their report at p.
m. Monday, after completing the in
spection of the bridge and public
buildings of the county. They were
Immediately discharged.
Following are the recommendations
That the Sheritf's office be papered ;
that the iron work on the first floor of
the prison be painted; that the
cement floor be repaired where
needed; that the prison be repaint-
ed on the outside; also that electric
light be installed in the building.
The court house was reported in
good condition and no repairs were re-
commended. -
At the north end of the river bridge,
as far as the county property extends,
it was recommended that retaining
wall be built, the same to be we'll
guarded by railing, as it was the sense
of the jurors that this is very dang
erous spot.
AS relates to the river bridge it was
recommended that the iron work be
cleaned and repainted; also that new
plank be laid on the sidewalks at sew
eral spots
The report explained that it was the
opinion of the grand jury that the
bridge is put under too great a strain
through fast driving.
Adverting to the recommendation
that retaining wall be built at the
bridge Judge Evans explained that
this was no new thing; that at other
sessions of court the grand jurors were
impressed with the need of retain
ing wall at that point and made SINH
lar recommendations. The county COM
missioners for some reason that he
could not understand, Judge Evans
said, have ignored the recommended
tions made successively by men of good
Judgment who had investigated condi.
tions. He did not approve of any pol
icy, he said, that might be penny
wise and pound-foolish' and was afraid
that eventually an accident would oc-
cur at that point in which event the
county would be liable.

SCHOOLS To CLOSE
GOOD FRIDAY

Professor Meyer of the high schoo
faculty appeared before the schoo
/ board Monday eve to determine the at
titude of the members toward prop
| osition to organize high schoo
athletic association on a new and NOR,
approved basis.
He deplored the fact that athletics
as they relate to the high school il
Danville are in bad state. There has
been no system. In base ball and foot
| ball heretofore many participated un,
der the name of the high school who
We're not members of the school at all.
The goods belonging to the Athletic
association, too, are missing and gross
irregularities are charged against the
members.
Mr.. Meyer explained the provisions
of the proposed constitution and by
laws, which provide for systematic
method of conducting athletics and
place the management squarely up to
the high school faculty.
On motion of Mr.. Slider it was ord
cred that the borough superintendent
and faculty be given permission to
organize a high school athletic as
sociation in accordance with the pro-
posed constitution and by. laws
On motion of Mr.. Swarts it was ord
cred that the schools of the boroug h
be closed on Good Friday.
A committee from the high school
waited on the board to determine, if
possible, the date of holding commence
ment.
Borough Superintendent Dieffen-
bacher explained that the school term
this year will close on Friday, May
eth.
1t was the sense of the board that
there is plenty of time in which to act
and on motion of Mr.. Heiss it was de-
cided that the max ing of arrangements
for commencement be postponed until
the next meeting.
The matters of speaker for COM
mencement and a preacher for the
baccalaureate sermon, on motion, were
referred to the high school committee,
it to report at the next meeting.

ent: Sechler, Orth, Swarts, Redding,

FOR NORTHUMBERLAND

The two coal dredges belonging to
Mr.. Ruch, which lay below the water
works all winter, together with their
fiat boats, Tuesday were taken to
Northumberland, where they will re-
ceive an overhauling preparatory to
entering upon the seasons work. The
dredges were taken down the river
under their own steam.
p. G.. Baylor has taken his coal dig
ger across the river, where his new
fiat boat is moored. He is giving his
entire outfit an Overhauling and will
have everything in ship shape by the
time the river falls low enough to
make coal dredging practicable, which
will not be for couple of weeks, at
least
Just what success the coal diggeIs
may meet with this season is uncer.
tain. Undoubtedly the heavy flood has
brought more or less coal down the
river from the collieries. 1t is quite as
likely that considerable quantity
has been deposited in the river at this
place. The action of the water in deal
ing with river coal is bound by no
rule. Coal deposited here at one stage
of the food may have been carried
away later.
Proprietors of the dredges are opti-
mistic, however, and are hoping for
the best. Owing to low water they
were much handicapped during the
last two years and it is hoped that all
causes will conspire to give them a
profitable season.

NEGOTIATING FOR
MONTOUR HOUSE

The rumor that a syndicate is en-
deavoring to purchase chain of ho
tells in this section of the State and tC
cater especially to commercial trade
by selling coupon books at reduction
from the standard two-uollar- a day
rate is given color by the fact that
three strangers. evidently agents
appeared in this city Monday and
opened negotiations for the purchase
of the Montour House, which, it is
understood, is for sale.
The men, whose identity and pur-
pose was not made clear, seemed very
much in earnest. When informed bv
Mr.. Johnson, who is in charge of the
hotel. that he could not enter into me-
gotiations looking to a sale until he
conferred with the proprietor at Chi
cago, they seemed greatly disappoint-
ed, as they seemed desirous of closing
up the deal quickly. They left town
after a short stay, but Monday even
ing called up Mr.. Johnson urging
him to get into communication with
Chicago Immediately by long distance
phone.
The syndicate agents, it is claimed,
have made campaign through the
North Branch Valley 1t is reported
that they made an offer of $25, 900 for
a fnl IN, ,.I- l,,.N q 4 1
fell through because the owner de-
manded $4,000 The men who ap-
peared in Danville were very careful
to determine what was paid for the
Montour House by the present owner
before they approached Mr.. Johnson.
According to the Berwick story it
was learned when the agents were
there that the syndicate is seeking
principally hotels either owned or con-
trolled by brewers. There are known
to be many such throughout the State,
the brewers in many instances furnish
ing practically all the capital invested
in return for the privilege of having
their beers sold over the bars of the
houses backed.
1t is known that many brewers
throughout the State are growing tired
of financing hotels, both ON account of
money tied up and because in some
counties the courts have looked ask
"..oo "+ "s>s>1io"+;~-- - -'--.~-. ----~'' -
or believed to be the actual property
of members of the Brewers associa-
tion. The agents are said to expert
ence great difficulty in finding good
hotels willing to sell out, as the maj
ority of them are not believed to be un-
der the tutelage of the brewers. New
it is said that the syndicate
has purchased or taken option on
many houses
1t is thought that the projected chain
of hotels will commend itself to whole
sale concerns. Not only will the rate
be materially lowered but it will be
necessary to furnish travelling sales
men with relatively only small
amounts of actual cash for contingent
expenses

Firemen douse the trees in the pub
lie square at Wilkes Barre with water
every night, i'll an attempt to rid the
place of the thousands of sparrows
that live there. The only effect that
the treatment has had ON the birds
thus far was to drive them into other
trees. After the trouble is over they
return to their original perches 1t is
hoped that the continuation of the
water treatment will so disgust the
birds hat they will leave for good.
