AN IDLE RUMOR

G. r. Van Allen, while in this city
Monday, took occasion to advert to
the rumor current here that the Van
Allen Bros. contemplate removing their
industrial plant from Northumberland
to Danyille, occupying the dismantled
steel works in the eastern end of town.
Mr.. Van Allen seemed very much
amused at the rumor, which is very
circumStantial, assingiDg as the cause
of the removal the fact that the Penn
sylvania Railroad company, which is
making extensive improvements at
Northumberland,w wants the plant own
ed by the Van Allen Bros. and has of
fered them big inducements to sell.
Mr.. Van Allen has no idea how the
rumor got tsarted. In the first place
speaking for Van Allen Bros, he says,
the Pennsylvania Railroad company
does not want their property and has
never offered to buy them out They
have no thought of moving and are
not looking to Danville for a location.

ABOUT MARCH

Records for some years show that
the mean temperature for March is
thirty degrees During the past
twenty-one years, however, there has
been IA wide range in temperature.
The mercury has during that period
climbed up as high as eighty-fve de
grees and has gone as low as five. So,
judging by these records, there may be
some more real winter in the follow
ing thirty days. Last March there was
total snowfall of eight inches
March originally was the first month
of the year, but in various re-arrange-
ments of the calendar it became the
third. In some parts of the world it
still retains its place as the first month
of the year.
The sacred yoar of the Jews begins
in March and the feast OF Azymes or
unleaven bread falls ON tie fourteenth
Month of Nizan. or March !yth
The church fcasts Of March during
the current year occur as follows: st.

er's day, when according to the sup
porters of the grounding weather
tradition, the little marmot may come
forth from his underground sleeping
quarters and not worry about his shad-
ow until next Candlemas. In other
words, spring weather should be due
on March 10. But spring does not be-
gin until March 20, Palm Sunday.

TOWN THREATENED

The fall of % laa boulder from the
side of the mo n.uin that rises from
the town of Jamison City Columbia
county, came near causing catas-
trophe yesterday morning.
The town of Jamison City is built
right up to the foot of hill whose
steep incline towers far above the
roofs of the buildings of the town.
Yesterday morning few minutes be
fore nine O'Clock, mass of rock 80
feet square, loosened by the thaw,
came plunging down the mountain.
Cutting a swath 100 feet wide the
boulder came with the velocity of Il
projectile.
So great was the noise that people
thinking the dam above the town had
burst, started TO flee for the thills.
Directly in the path of the falling
rock was the high school building,
where the pupils had just gathered for
the morning session. 1t seemed as if
the school building must be crushed
But the last plunge of the boulder
brought it little short of the struc-
ture, and it fell harmless a few feet
away breaking into four pieces.

FAVORABLE REPORT
AS To HEALTH

A slight decrease of the death rate
as well as in the number of typhoid
fever cases reported are distinguishing
features of the local registrars report
to the bureau of vital statistics for the
month of February.
The number of deaths that occurred
in the district are twenty-eight as
against thirty-one in January. OF the
deaths in February fourteen occurred
at the hospital for the insane, in Jan
uary, there were ten deaths at the hos
pital
In February infectious diseases were
reported as follows: Scarlet fever, six
cases; diphtheria, two cases; chicken
poX, three cases; measles, one case /;
pulmonary tuberculosis, three cases.
Five cases Of typhoid fever were re-
ported during the month. OF these one
case is under treatment at the Joseph
Ratti hospital, Bloomsbury. In Jan
uary six cases of typhoid fever were
reported in December there were five
cases; in November one case.
The above report does not imply that
there are not more than six cases Of
typhoid fever under treatment, rs some
of those reported during January, if
conyalescent, may not yet be out of
the doctors hands. 1t shows, however,
that there is nothing in the prevalence
of the disease to cause any apprehen-
sion.
The epidemic of intestinal trouble
that we have had with us practically
all winter, is now nearly a thing of
the past, only an occasional case be-
ing reported. On the whole the report
as to the general health is quite good
considering the season of the year.

HEARING ON
NEXT FRIDAY

On Saturday morning summons were
served by Constable w. L. Young on
the two dairymen against whom infor-
nation was lodged by the chief of pol
ice on Friday.
The dairymen are summoned to ap-
pear before w. V. Oglesby ON Friday
Mrach t, 1910, between the hours of
l and , p. m. to answer to an action
of assumpsit for a penalty of ten dol
lars for a violation of section / of the
ordinance of the borough of Danville.
Three milkmeu TO date have voiuut-
arily paid their license for 1909 The
chief of police Saturday stated that
he viii be obliged to proceed against
all the milkmen doing business in
Dauville, who have not taken ont 4
license, compelling them to pay up or
10 establish beyond doubt that they
do not purchase milk of other parties
The borough authorities feel contid-
ent they say, that they have the law
on their side. Citing Il decision rend-
cred in the local court a few years ago
they are constrained to believe that a
dairyman who handles no milk but
what is produced III his own dairy, I'M
der the law, is exempt from payment
of milk license; the same decision un-
der the authorities, construction, suS-
tains section of the borough ordin-
ance for the violation of which the
action of assumpsit is brought.
y dairyman selling milk in Dan
vile, during a conversation Saturday,
said he does not think the milkmen as
a rule object to the payment of Ii
cense; all they want he said, is fair
play. If one pays, all should pay. He
wanted to know what measures the
borough is going to adopt and how
searching the inquiry is to be to dis
cover whether or not dairyman dur
ing the course of a year purchases
milk of his ueighbors or of other milk
men in town.
The same dairyman took the view
that harmonious relations should be
sustained between the borough and
the milkmen. He was quite positive,
he said, that some of the dairymen are
striving very hard to live up to the
high standard of cleanliness and pur-
ity of product set by the rules and
regulations of the State board of
health. 1t is due these dairymen, he
said, that the public is given full as
surance that in. no instances are the
rules relating to sanitation or to pur-
ity of milk violated.

THE HEARING
IS POSTPONED

The two dairymen against whom the
borough has instituted an action of as
sumpsit for penalty of ten dollars
incurred by selling milk without Ii
cense by appealing to several council
men have secured postponement of
their hearing, which was to have tax
en- place before Justice of the Peace
Oglesby tomorrow. The hearing will
be held next Tuesday at / a m. Mean
while-on Friday night-the dairymen
will appear before council and plead
their case,
a member Of council is authority
for the statement that there is no prob
ability that the borough win recede
from it's position in regard to milk IL
ceuse. The fee of ten dollars, he says,
is due the borough and unless the or
dinance will not stand a legal test the
license fee will be collected Under
the rules and regulations adopted by
the State department. of health in
maintaining the purity and healthfuI-
ness OF milk the borough is obliged to
go to good Zeal of expense. At a re-
cent meeting council paid veterinary
surgeon a bill of over fifty dollars due
for the inspection Of cattle belonging
to dairies the milk of which is sold in
Danville The milk license affords one
and the only method-by which the
borough can partially reimburse itself
for what it is obliged to eXpend on the
score of the dairies.
Probably one-third of the dairymen
have paid their license for 1909. 9th
ers who represent that they purchase
no milk to supply their routes are Civ
en- license free of cost. Thus, the
proper notices are posted in the wag-
ons and the public served has an op-
portpnity to determine whether or not
all the rules and regulatioussare being
complied with in the production of
milk.

HIGHEST RIVER
SINCE YEAR 1904

The North Branch of the Susquo-
hanna yesterday reached what is re-
garded as the highest point attained
since the great flood of 1901, when the
bridge at this place was swept away.
The river gauge at the pier on the
south side maintained by the PennsyI-
vania railroad company last evening
indicated about II feet. The guage
placed on the pier at the Danville side
by the county commissioners last sum
NOR indicated about II feet, II inches.
The United States Geological survey.
which causes the water levels to be
recorded daily figures ON altogether a
different basis, giving the height of
water seven inches above what is in
dicated by the river gauge on the
Danville side. Thus we have three
different records and persons in noting
the height of water can take their
choice.
The swollen river was the center Of
interest yesterday. Whether the high
water mark alluded to in conversation
was II feet or Is feet depended upon
where the person obtained his informa-
tion. Naturally, owing to the dlscrep-
ancy, many were led into a dispute
over the figures, which each had rea-
son to believe were correct.
The marks on the pier, it is said, do
not conform with the former gauge,
which went out of existence with the
old bridge At certain high levels it
was always understood what effect the
river would have on Mahoning creek
and how the latter stream in turn
would affect the iron works and the
cellars on Mill street The new gauge
is found to be poor guide and it will
require patient and extended observa-
tion to show where the river stands by
the present gauge when Mahoning
creek begins to cause trouble. The
same is true with regard to the river
overflowing the bank above town.
The attaches of the water works We're
quite confident yesterday that the pres
ent is the highest flood since the ice
gorges broke on March s, 1904, when
the river rose to the unprecedented
mark of 20 feet, 6 inches The highest
point attained by the river during last
year was ~ feet.
The swollen stream yesterday, near
ly bank full, rolling along in silent
majesty, presented an interesting sight
and was viewed by hundreds of people
from the sidewalks of the bridge 1t
was not believed last evening that the
river would rise much higher.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon
it was found necessary to shut down
the puddle mill of the Reading Iron
works owing to high water. Ii was
stated last evening that if the creek
continued TO rise it woull he imross.-
