Porkey.

The heavy rains combined with the
melting of the snow in the woods the
first of last week, caused very high
flood for the month of January, with no
ice to gorge it. In many places the
creek seemed too narrow and the water
went out over the lowlands and covered
all the low lying parts and things that
lay on them. At Minister the path
bridges were taken out, and the South
Penn Oil Co. had gas line broken and
some power rigging thrown down. AS
yet there has been no reports OF oil lines
being broken and we are almost certain
they have escaped damage as there was
but faint show of oil on the flood waters,
The pump station here, as usual, had .its
big water in the buildings, but as it is al
most in the creek bed we expect this.
This time the water was up 10 the win
dows but no damage was done TO the
machinery by the water. The railroad
was the heaviest loser in this flood here,
as they missed some trips and had a lot
of repairing to do TO the track. Their
telephone line was crippled by some
poles falling into the creek, but COM
munication was made between Blue Jay
and Kellettville by patching with the
Private Line lately put up by Rupert and
his friends. Some call 1t buttermilk
line but that doesn't hurt the working of
it in the least. The railroad got its line
cleared Thursday afternoon and on Fri
day everything was going all right again.
The shade trees around the church al
Minister are disappearing for firewood
and the parties have been notified, so we
are hoping it will cease. This makes the
lot look pretty ragged.
VIM. Mesger and David Cole have both
returned from the hospital at Warren and
are doing nicely alter being trimmed up
in the operating room.
Mrs. James Lit,lefeld went TO Tions on
Tuesday and was kept out longer than
was her intention by the high water, but
returned when the train got its footing
again. They will live with E. L. Little
field this winter on Pior Ave.
The Sunday school was we'll attended
on Sunday last although the weather was
not OF the best, but the drawing card is
the fine papers that are given out each
Sunday. There are four interesting papers
given to each family and the infant class
has nice child's paper and picture cards.
No doubt the school will be a success this
summer if the parents will help very
little to increase the attendance.
James Welsh of Balltown cut his hand
while chopping wood last Friday but it is
not considered serious.
Maurice and Robert Burdick, former
boys OF the place, are now working for
the Penna Railroad Co. at Oil City, and
we're home over Sunday last but returned
to duty on Monday moruaug. They are
both firing.
Mr.. Rhodes, ROLAND DAILY and Mr..

days because we were used to moderate

seemed awful.

MAY RETURN POLICE
TO SHORTER HOURS
Lane Working on Plan to
Resume Eight-HOur
Shift

City Commissioner A. o. Lane is consid-
ering a plan by which the police force
will he returned to S-honr shifts. He
stated yesterday that he had the matter
under consideration. and that he might
be ready to make some recommendations
to the commission at the meeting Friday.
My one idea is not to increase the
expense of the police department, but to
increase the efficiency" said Judge Lane,
land there appears some very good argu-
ments tc show that the force will be more
efficient S-hour shifts than on the 12-
hour shifts as at present
With the police force ON 12-hour shifts,
the officers of the law have been laboring
under great difficulties and disadvan-
tages it is said With a policeman on
actual duty Il hours of the day, 1t prob
ably taking an hour in the morning and
an hour in the evening to go to and re-
turn from work and then with anywhere
from one to a half dozen hours in court
to give evidence in the trail of cases
where he has made the arrest, has been
very trying to say the least
The arrests of the department have
fallen off very materially since the l2-
hour shift plan was put in force some
few weeks ago 1t is claimed that the
simply have to as to appear in court takes
up SO much of their time that they have
no time left to sleep and rest. Judge Lane
emphasized the statement that the ex-
penses of the department would not be
increased.

CITY COMMISSION
WILL MEET TODAY
Will Hear Expressions on
Plan for Changing
Street Names

The street naming proposition will
probably be the most mpoI tant question
before the city commission at the regu-
lar meeting this afternoon at 3 o'clock.
1t is indicated that several delegations or
committees from various civic clubs and
organiza tions will be present to make ar
guments on the proposition and a number
of private citizens. are expected to appear
also.
The present plan as worked out by City
Engineer Kirkpatrick is that the city be
divided by two lines nor tn and south and
east and west. the intersection to be a
center and the streets III the four quar-
ters thus made by the lines to be known
as southeast, southwest, northeast and
northwest streets. 1t is indicated that
considerable opposition will be made to
the scheme on the grounds that it is too
complicated and confusing, but city hall
officials are of the belief that this op-
position can be eliminated by a thorough
understanding of the plan, believing that
practically all those who are opposed to
1t do not fully understand 1t. The COM
missioners invite all persons who are in
terested to be present today and give
their views If they desire.
Delegations on the question are ex-
pected from the Board of Trade. Chamber
of Commerce, the Business Mems league,
the Rotary club, The Ensley club and
other similar organizations.

nerve on the part of B. L. Morrison. a

In my % years experience as a rail-
road man." said Mr. Ross, "only once be-
fore have l heard of such a cool act as
that of Motorman Morrison. He deserves
much praise.
1T happened this way: Morrison was
bringing his car to Ensley from Fairfield
and going pretty fair clip when sud-
denly he noticed a child sitting on the
track. He Immediately shut off power
and applied the air brakes, but ne realized
at once that owing to the wet tracks the
momentum of the car would carry it over
the child before it stopped. Morrison then
did the only thing possible. He jumped
out of the vestibule and running fran
tically ahead made a plunge and barely
snatched the cooing chifd from under
'"e Mheeis VI lhe car ~hlch stopped a
few feet further on. 1t was thrilling
rescue"

JUDGE LANE VERY
OPTIMISTIC AFTER
MONTGOMERY TRIP
Has High Hopes of Extra
Session of Legislature to
Relieve Birming-
ham Needs

Il have high hopes of an extraordinary
session of the legislature" was the mes
sage brought back to Birmingham last
night by Judge A. o. Lane, city COM
missioner.
AS an official representative of the city
OF Birmingham, Judge Lane went to
montgomery yesterday to Plead with the
governor on behalf of the people of Bir-
mingham and Jefferson county for an ex-
ira session He returned last night on
the 7:45 train
Judge Lane announced that in the i'm
mediate future he intended to get In
touch with the officials of the Chamber
OF commerce and ask them TO send a
large delegation to the capitol to pre-
sent Birmingham's plea in further de-
tail.
The governor was very cordial" said
Judge Lane last night. He assured me
that he was open to conviction and if
once convinced of the necessity of an
extra session he would not hesitate a
moment to call the legislators of the
state together.
He made no direct promises of what
he would do, but in my own opinion, /
have high hopes of an extra session soon.
After thinking over our conference, l
am very highly pleased with the out
look. There is but one thing for us to
do-conyince the governor that Birming-
ham and Jefferson county actually need
an extra session-and l believe we can
do II and do it easily
Upon my own initiative, / intend to
get into touch with President Harding
and officials of the Chamber of Com
merce and have that body send to Mont
gomery large delegation to present fur
ther the prayers of Birmingham for an
extra session"
Judge Lane had written a letter to the
governor before he went to Montgom-
cry, in which he set forth the grounds
upon which this county and city are
praying for an extra session. lie left for
the capitol yesterday morning and re-
turned last night.
Relief from financial crisis by
remodeled taxation system and the adop-
tion of the constitutional amendment
abolishing the fee system In jefferson
county are the two main things for
which the people of Jefferson are asking
for an extra session.
The last move for an extra session has
been made in the face OF an announce
ment from the governor few days ago,
in which he stated that no extra session
of the legislature would be called.
