SEARCH FOR BODIES
CONTINUES AT AUSTIN
Force Augmented by Addition
al Hundred Men-CIear-
ing Up Debris.

AUSTIN, Pa, October 5.-With nearly
a hundred more men who came last night
into what is left of Austin, the search
for bodies and disentangling the debris
was spread over a great area today, and
it was expected that before nightfaI de-
cided progress would be shown
Highway Commissioner E. NJ Bigelow
has sent fifty men from his department
to help those already on the ground.
Chief Engineer Foster is also on the
scene, lending his aid to the plan of re-
lief
have been cleared and soon cars will be
debris will be started.
Sight Discouraging One.
Commissioner of Health Dixon late yes
terday was driven through the Sinnema-
honing valley to Costello, and upon his
return, despite the progress made yester-
day, said the sight was a most discour-
aging one. The river is SO strewn with
lumber, barns and dwellings and tangled
up with steel coal cars and bent and
twisted rails that, according to the COM
missioner, it seems almost physical i'm
possibility to clear it up.
At Costello several hundred men are
working through to Austin The railroad
has replaced one bridge. and the track
up to the point where they can run wreck
trains with material for the second one.
Only fifteen families have been found in
need at Costello. and today clothing and
food were sent over to them.
Two carloads of food supplies that came
in last night were Hl,Oaded today.

Deems a Change Imperative.

But one thing is absolutely certain.
md that is. that when the unfunded
d.ht of the District is liquidated. as
if win he three years hence, some diff
1cTent plan Of raising revenues and dis
rousine them must be provided for this
District.
Al present. III my opinion, the Dis
trict occupies an unethical position. 1t
viii have 10 be changed when the un-
fuaded debt is hquidated. Three lines
of thought in this connection are sus
-csted. and ! believe that one of the
plans will he adopted The three
e, x.Tnatives aT6 these:
First. the adoption Of the Judson plan.
Second, repeal of the organic act of
$50 and the appropriation of a small
fixed sum by the federal government, the
District to bear the remainder of the
burden. sum as low as S2,0c0O0O or
even lower has been suggested.
Third. repeal of the organic act of
1878, the District 10 turn into the federal
Treasury all of the revenues raised by
taxation and the federal government TO
provide the sum sufficient to cover the
margin between receipts and expendi-
lures.

Now, ] may say here that the Judson
plan will not he proposed in the Distric.

that plan was proposed and supported
by myself and twice il was defeated bv
citizens who used gross exaggeration in

'I will make no further effort to urge
this plan upon Congress and will LET
that matter drop so far as / am per-
sOnally concerned
''As 10 the two other alternatives, they
viii be considered carefully. To repeat
what | said at the outset. some change,
in my opinion. will have to be made in
existing methods, or the District will
run into extravaganza or pile up a sur

PARC PERDUE NOTES.

The weather conditions for the
past week were very favorable for
farm work and the farmers were
all hard at work in their fields.
The cotton crop this year will
undoubtedly be the smallest ever
grown in this section in recent
wears. The farmers here seem TO
have completely broken away
from the one crop idea and the re-
suit is. that less of the fleecy
staple has been planted.
Many people from this section
attended the big athletic meet at
Lafayette on last Saturday and re-
port having had a fine time.
The many friends here OF Mr.
George Haines, conductor on the
F. & A. r. r. were sorry to hear
of his serious illness with typhoid
fever. 1t was reported at one time
that his attending physician des7
paired of his recovery. lie IS IN

ceiving the best care, that can

better.

The death this week Of the

cessitate another selection by the
people in the course Of few

thought that the vacancy could be

permit. were the Assessor to have
died within twelve months OF the
expiration Of his office. but there
being seventeen months more to
serve, primary and then gen
