SMITH PEACE ENVOY TO
MEET THE GOVERNOR ?

ing. There was evidently a determin-
alton to maintain secrecy regarding
the visit inasmuch as those about the
Governor persistently avoided giving
any information regarding the pres
ence of the mayor-elect in the city.
They even parried direct questions,
later in the evening and so far as they
were concerned he never was here.
But while The street lights were out
last night, the moon shined brightly
and that's Why the handsome new eX-
ecutive of the metropolis of the Com
monwealth was unable to get away
from Harrisburg without being seen.
Among those who are able to ana
lyze political conditions the mysterious
visit of the mayor-elect, who was APP
pointed to the Public Service Commits
sion by Governor Brumbaugh few
weeks before he became the harmony
candidate for the chief Office in Phila-
delphia, his appeara nee at the Mansion
last night was interpreted generally in
one way messenger of peace and
good will.
1t will not be forgotten that few
weeks ago Mayor-elcct Smith created
a political sensation by appointing as
the heads of the more important de-
| partments Of the Philadelphia govern

ONE OF SANTA'S SHOPS
is In DUNCANNON

the North Pole and there are not so
many people know that they are be-
ing built in this town.
One day about ten years ago, Santa
Claus visited Duncannon. He went
from house to house and then visited
the various stores and industrial
plants. Away up at the north end
of the town he found q plant ralled
the Standard Novelty Works ard on
work bench there he found a sled.
The design was pretty, it's weight was
light and above all 1t really coGid ue
guided. Painted on the seat were q
number OF letters which spelled
lightning Guider."
Santa Claus looked at the toy care
fully and then murmured to himself
TN getting old now and Juggling hun
dreds of sleds from the North Pole is
burdensome. | like this sled better
than any of the old cheese boxes I've
been making so / believe I'll get the
men in this factory TO make sleds fol-
me If they will"
And that was the beginning of sled
making as an industry in Duncannon
Santa left his order at the Standard
Novelty Works at that time and during
all these years thousands of children
have been supplied with sleds which
Santa has gotten here. In fact a big
proportion OF all of the sleds which
he distributes between Chicago and
Boston are made by his helpers here.
The Novelty works employs on an
average, about 50 men and at present
they are working from Z o'clock in the
morning until 0 o'clock at night
Seds are being turned out at the rate
of 500 each day and no other work
except this is being done there just
now. The company began filling its
Santa Claus orders in June, but ever
with the enormous number turned out

ment recognized lieutenants of the
TWO Vares-the congressman and the
senator, potential influences In the
republican party. This sensation was
promptly followed few days later
by statement from the mayor-elect
that he regarded Senator Boies Pen
rose as the leader of his party in the
State and that he strongly disapproved
OF any attempt to divide the Repub-
lican forces over the election of dele
gates to the national convention.
These two moves coming so close to-
gether seemed to indicate that 1t was
the purpose of Mayor-elect Smith to
discourage any factional alignment in
the Republican party. He is said
to have declared to personal friends
that he would give all political inter-
ests fair deal but under no circum-
stances would he encourage any move
that would lead to party discord
These facts seem to give color to
the belief in certain quarters that the
coming of the mayor-elect to Harris
burg last night and his long private
conference with Governor Brumbaugh
had for its object the prevention of
any break between the Governor and
Senator Penrose. 1t is believed that
because the Philadelphia administra-
ton Is to be conducted by one holding
these views, the possibility of party
disruption ana discord becomes less
and less AS neither the Governor nor
the mayor-elect will discuss their con-
ference future developments will be
awaited with interest but 1t is pre-
dicted that Governor Brumbaugh will
have the support of the Republican
organization in all the important poll
cies of his administration and that
he may be one of the delegates-at-
large to the national convention from
Pennsylvania. These events falling so
closely upon such events as the Gary
dinner in New York, where Colonel
Roosevelt was the chief guest, indi-
cate the get together spirit of the
Republican party throughout the
country.

example of the company's big business
is shown in the announcement that
during the month of October alone
$4,000 worth of scrap iron was pur-
chased.
Duncannon is rejoicing oveIN the re-
opening of the mills and business is in
creasing. The payroll at the iron
works Is $500 every two weeks and
a goodly part of this sum is being eX-
pended in the borough.
The reopening of the plant is di-
rectly due to the European war, al
though the company is not filling any
war orders. Many concerns in various
parts of the country which rolled iron,
transformed their plants into NUM-
tions factories for the manufacture of
shrapnel. Rolled iron was badly need
ed by the railroads and the owners of
the Duncannon mills, seeing an oppor-
tunity to reopen the local plant, seiz-
ed 1t and soon started work. Weekly
skilled workmen are being brought
here from various parts of the country
and If q sufficient number could be
gotten, there would be a strong possi-
bility of an addition being built to the
plant.
Shirts are also being made in Dun
cannon and it is said that the daily
output of this concern, the Good In
tent Shirt Factory, is close to $50 doz-
ems. The plant is owned by J. Ar
thur Rife and at present here are Sd
girls employed. The factory contains
so machines and more will be in
stalled If more girls can be secured.
Mr.. Rife said he would increase his
working force to 200 and enlarge the
plant but labor is so scarce that there
is no likelihood of an enlargement at
the present time. The plant has been
in existence about 4 years and Mr..
Rife bought it six years age. The
shirts made in Duncannon are of good
quality and are being cold in all parts
OF the United States
In addition to the three plants ut
present located here, there are some
prospects that the Juniata Paper COM
