House Numbers on Curb.

A method of placing house num-
bers on curbs has been adopted by tge
city of Pasadena, Cal
Formerly there was a great deal
OF complaint from delivery REMAND
visitors. and also from the police, that
it was almost impossible to locate
given house number, as these were
generally placed in an inc lnspieuous
place. Recently the Mayor has been
authorized to have the names OF the
streets and the numbers of the houses
painted on the eurbs throughout tho
city, and he has employed two paint
ers to do this work The fAmos OF
the streets are placed on ths face OF
the curb close to tho street intersce-
tion and consist of black lettels one
and one-half inches high on white
background, painted by means OF a
stencil. The house numbers are
painted on the top Of the curb directly
in front Of each house, being black
on white ground, similar TO the
street lanes. The white paint, Of
oil and wlite lead, is first applied
and after this is thoroughly dsy the
black letters are stenciled on tho
paint used consisting of one-half none
black and one-nalf lamp black mixed
with oil. The approximate cost OF
this work is ilye cents per each house
number and seven cents for each
street name.-Municipa Journal.

HISTORIC TEXAS POST.
Where the Experiment Was Made
with Camels For Crossing Desert.

Nnere tne Experiment was haue
with Camels For Crossing Desert.
The destruction by fire of Camp
Verde on the morning of March 26 re-
moved from Southwestern Texas a
landmark OF more than passing inter-
est to many people, not only in this
section, but in various parts Of the
United States.
The old house, located on Verde
Creek, eight miles from Centre Point
and thirteen from Kerrville. was the
last remaining building of Camp
Verde military post. 1t was built in
1857 and was originally the officers
quarters Of the garrison. Constructs
ed of concrete, with walls two feet
thick, and all the finishing lumber
freighted by OK wagon from Indian
ola, the nearest shipping port at that
time, the building cost the Govern
ment $4,000.
Camp Verde post was established
as a station from which experiments
could be made in using camels, to
cross the desert to California. In
1857 a consignment of forty camels
was brought from Asia Minor and
Egypt on the United States steamer
Supply to the Texas coast and event
ually to Camp Verde. Twelve Amer
lean camel drivers accompanied them
and a caravan master. To the latter
the Government had guaranteed
salary of 500 a month for the re.
mainder OF his life. and he was still
drawing it up to few years ago and
may be even now.
A large caravansary was built fol
the accommodation of the camels and
a well dug and fitted up with a sweer
for drawing water after the ancient
Egyptian fashion. Traces of both the
corral and well are still in evidence.
The experiment, however, proved i'm
practical, and while the camels were
kept there eleven years, no use was
made OF them, and in 1858 they were
sold and sent to Mexico and Califor.
mia.
Many United States prisoners of
war we're kept at Camp Verde by the
Confederates until their exchange
could be effected. During its occu-
patton by Federal troops many distin-
guished visitors had been entertained
there, General Robert E. Lee and Jos.
e. Johnston as Lieutenant-Colonel,
being among these. Following the
war the post was again occupied by
United States troops until 1870, when
it was formally evacuated Later
company of State Rangers were sta
toned there. but eventually it was
abandoned altogether and became a
stopping place for any wayfarer who
cared to seek shelter in passing b
The hospital, barracks, stables d
other buildings, by pillages and re,
we're gradually destroyed and obliter-
ated.
In 1875 Camp Verde became the
property of Judge John A. Bonnell, Of
Ohio, in the possession OF whose fam
lily it has since remained.
The walls withstood the fierce on
slaught of fame and rise above the
ruins, but old Camp Verde is no more.

RECENT DEATHS.
RECII.

RECK.
William r. Reck, eldest son of the late
Judge John Reck, died at his home in
Bradford, Pa, Friday night, August ~,
1910, after an illness extending over a
year or more. He was born at Alliance,
Ohio, May 9th, 1871. About the year
year lS4S he came with his parents to this
section from Pittsburg. They located at
the Proper lumber mill on Little Coon
creek, near the present village of Ne
brsska, where they remained several
years. His father then purchased farm
near Davis Corners, Venango comfy,
and few years later the family again
moved to this community, locating at
Beaver Valley, Hickory township, where
the father was engaged in numbering for
Collins 81 Holbrook, and where the sub.
ject of this notice grew to young man.
hood. At the breaking out of the civil
war William Reck enlisted in a York
State regiment, which later became a
part of General Daniel L. Sick les bri-
gade, and In the battle OF Gettysburg he
was badly wounded, but remained in the
army for the full term of his enlistment
leaving splendid record as soldier.
On returning from the army he engaged
in lumber, being associated with his
brother f. NJ Reck in the manufacture
of lumber at Ross Run and other sections
of the county. On leaving Tionesta he
moved to Bradford and engaged in the
production of oil, his ventures proving
quite successful. Mr.. Reck was one OF
the honorable upright citizens Of his
community. and as such was held in
highest esteem by a large circle of ac-
quaintances throughout this entire sec.
ton, by whom his demise is greatly re-
GREETED. Besides his aged mother, now
past 30 years, he is survived by one son.
John X. Reck, and one daughter, Miss
Grace Reck, both of Brad ford, Pa. One
sister, Mrs. Mary A. Gaskill of Alliance.

WHY not be rational? What sense is
there in firing lot of messages of SYM
psthy at man who has been shot, and
who needs all his vitality for something
besides reading messsges9 The Mead
Vile papers yesterday devoted consider
able space to relating how the mayor of
that town rendered his sympathy to
Mayor Gaynor, and how he received re-
ply from the acting mayor saying: "In
behalf of the mayor l thank you for your
kind message of sympathy" Had the
mayors of Housewife and Reno pushed
themselves forward by sending message
they would undoubtedly have received
the same answer. The chances are that
Mayor Gsynor never saw the message
sent by the Meadville executive, any
more than he did many others with which
the wires were buIdened. The wiring of
sympathy is greatly overdone and tends
but to annoy and perplex the friends and
attendants of the unfortunate victim, who
have enough TO do without receiving and
answering fool messages, often sent by
entire strangers. Another thing, which
always looks like an attempt to secure
some gratuitous advertising, is the psrad-
ing OF the names of several doctors, in
single file, at the tailend of the bulletins
regarding the condition of the patient.
For men, whose professional ethics are so
strongly opposed to advertising, to i'm
prove such opportunities for obtaining
notoriety is simply ludicrous. us.-Blizzard.

SOME of the papers are stating that the
proposed constitutional amendments now
running in the press of the state are to be
voted on this fall. This is erroneous.
They are published at this time, as pro-
vided by the constitution, in order to
give ample notice to the electorate of the
state as to what may be expected in the
future. The legislature next winter will
consider the amendments, and if acted on
favorsbly, they will again be published a
year hence, and then the voters will by
their ballots either adopt or reject the
amendments. lfratified by majority
vote they become part of the constitu-
tion OF the state.

Oil Men Agree to Fight Standard.

The following is from the Pittsburg
Post of Wednesday.
About % representatives of independ-
ent oil producers in Western Pennsyl-
vsnia and West Virginia met in the Fort
Pitt hotel last night and started a move
ment 10 form $40 1000, 900 corporation to
be known as the High Grade Oil Refin-
ing Company" The purpose of the pro-
posed company is to control the market
ing of oil produced by independent op-
orators.
Ofthe stock issued half would be pre-
ferred and sold for cash. The other hall
would be common stock to be distributed
in return for production of crude oil.
Attorney Joseph A. Schotield, of War.
rem, Pa, a large independent producer,
is the leading spirit in the movement,
and laid the plan before the operators
present. No definite action was taken,
but another meeting will be held in But
Ter next Tuesday at which an effort will
be made to get together representatives OF
all independent producers in Pennsyl-
vania, West Virginia and Eastern Ohio
fields.
Under the plan submitted by Attorney
Schofeld the producers belonging to the
company would pledge to the concern all
the crude oil produced by them. The
company would pay fixed price of 50 8
barrel. The cash payment per barrel
would be 10 cents above the market price
The difference between the cash price
paid and the g limit would be credited tc
the common stock of the producer. Thus
if the market price were Sl.3O per barre
the producer would get 81 45 in cash and
be credited with SO cents in common
stock on each barrel.
The ultimate object of ths company
would be 10 raise the price of crude oil
This price is now controlled by the
Standard Oil Company, to which the in.
dependent operators sell most of theil
product. The company would at first try
to reach an agreement with independent
retineries to take the oil at stipulated
price. II such an arrangement could no
be made the company would build it:
own refinery. Some of those present
were opposed to the Idea or financing an
independent refinery.
The plan is similar to that in vogue il
Western States, where the independent
producers form agencies to dispose o
crude oil, as the product in large quanti
ties can be sold more advantageously
than in small amounts by the separat,
operators.
w. c. Plat, secretary of the Indepen
dent Petroleum Marketers' association
after the meeting expressed the opinion
that the Standard Oil Company woulC
soon raise the market price in this distric
with view to making the Independent
operators more satisfied with present con
ditions in order to prevent if possible thu
consummation of the proposed compan
