 Scourging all with flood an-I fire. But the pictures still are changing In Shcnango's vale We pass Groups of furnaces and forses,
 Plants producing steel and glass; Leave behind the Smoky City
 Pressing toward the million mark; See coke ovens on the hillsides,
 Glow like fireflies in the dark; Speeding eastward through Altoona, Winding round the Horse Shoe

 Rich in mines of anthracite; Westward through a derrick forest Where the oil and gas are founl, Supplementing mighty factories That throughout the state abound. These bewildering. rich resources Make our very senses swim Filling Pennsyivania's coffers
 Every day unto the brim. This great state reveals the story Of our country's' triumph march, Or. to change again 5he figure, Shows the nations civic arch.

THINNING OUT TREES.

The landscape artist brought in by Dr. Chandler had a gang of men at work taking up some of the large pepper trees on both sides of Pepper Lane from Mcdonald street to the Episcopal church They are taking out only every other tree and as the remaining ones are of good size the lane will not look at all barren. The trees are to be taken down to the public square at Chandler where they will be a valuable addition. It Is rather late in the season to trans plant such large trees but the neces- sity for them at Chandler is so great that the builders of the new town feel justified in taking the chance on the pepper trees.
