Rushing Work on Wilson,
vile Dam Basin.

Busy times these days along the
Paupack. The Wayne Development
company is getting at the work of
preparing for the big dam in real
earnest The preliminary work
went but slowly and seemed to show
but little results, but now the val
ley along the river begins to look
like a field of grass before a moving
machine.
During the spring and summer
much of the timber was taken off by
the company. Now the whole terri
tory that will be flooded has been
have been asked to bid on clearing
off everything in the wood line. A
number of contracts have already
been let and as these are finished
other districts Will be assigned to the
contractors. The following have
contracts to remove timber or brush,
or both: George Scherer, Mat. Har-
loe, Martin & Rose, of Ledgedale;
James Lennon, of Centerville; C. +.
Lakeville; VIM. Rauschmaier, of
Winners; George B. McLain, of this
place. These men are employing all
the help they can get and already
have a large force at work. In ad-
dition to these the power company
have between forty and fifty men at
work so that now there are nearly a
hundred men employed between
here and Iedgedale
A large number of men are engag-
ed in clearing off the island between
the old and new rivers and it is ex-
pected that it will be entirely clean
ed within two weeks.
By spring the company expects to
have all the marketable timber cut
from the basin and piled along the
river. That which Is heavier than
water will be brought to the mill
by a large motor boat which will
be placed in the stream early in
spring, the other will be fioated
down.
The company hopes to be able to
begin work on constructing the dam
the coming spring. A large diamond
drill was placed on the ground on
| Wednesday and on Thursday boring
was commenced to determine the
condition of the earth's strata at
different points near the Wilsonville
falls for the purpose of finding a
solid foundation for the dam. Until
/ these sOundings are completed it is
said no definite location of the breast
will be made.
/ a representative of The Times in
conversation with Mr. Healey, the
manager in charge of the work,

The year 1912 is here in all its
beauty. With it number of new
candidates was also ushered into of
fee. New faces are found in all the
county offices with the exception of
two, that OF President Judge, A. T.
Searle, and District Attorney M. z
Simons. All of the others are we'll
known citizens of the county and are
no strangers to her voters.
The first and most important is
held by our ever popular and courte-
Gus townsman. Hon. a. T. Searle.
He is not exactly new face in the
hall of justice, but was elected presi-
dent judge of Wayne for the first
time last November by an over
whelming majority, other commits
sions being made on appointment.
Judge Searle will make an ideal jur-
list and one Wayne will be proud of.

Kindly Feeling for
Their Own Relatives.

Messrs Moore and Walsh, the
Democratic county commissioners in
Luzerne county, who took office on
Monday, have a kindly feeling for
their relatives, and some OF the best
plums in the county have been set
aside for them to wit:
Besides his brother as chief deputy
treasurer at a salary of $3.50,
Moore has picked his brother-in-
law. Charles Mackin, for chief clerk
in the commissioners office at a sal
airy of $3.50, and his cousin, James
MundTy, as a chief of a department
at a salary of 500. Walsh selects
brother-in-law, Patrick Kearney,

1,S00; another brother-in-law,
Michael Larkin, a watChman at a
salary of $1,000, and nephew, Ar
chic Davis, assistant chief clerk at a
salary OF 81 500.
Attorney w. S. Mclean, Jr., coun-
ty chairman for the Democrats, gets
the county solicitorship in return for
helping to land Moore's brother.
Buss gave Mclean the right to
choose the deputy because Mclean
got Buss the nomination. NJ. j. Null
hall was picked for solicitor but
Moore switched for Mclean when
Mclean landed the brother.
