Auto Trip.

Saturday morning, August 18th
| E. R. Hendershot at the wheel of
his Buick, with John F. Deshong,
Joseph M. Deshong, John G. Z.
Deshong and l.. |. Deshong, left
Harrisonville at 5 a. M, for
Johnstown, Pa, to attend the
Conner-Ribblet Reunion, which
was held that day at Island Park,
Johnstown. Notwithstanding the
rain, every thing went smoothly
till Stoystown was reached and
having to leave the Lincoln High
way at that point for an Is mile
drive over a dirt road, it still
went smoother (but sideways;
but after very slow careful driv-
ing, which Ed can do, we reached
Johnstown at 1890 a. m., and
after partaking of a sumptous
dinner at the hospitable home Of
G. B. Hockensmith, we took the
street car and went to the Re-
union where we met host of
our friends from Cambria, Blair,
Westmoreland, and Indiana coun-
ties. After mingling with our
friends and listening to good
recitations, addresses, and some
grand music on the piano, a busi-
ness meeting was called for the
purpose of electing officers for
the next years reunion to be held
at the same place on the End Sat
urday of August 1916. After
little consultation it was unani-
mously voted to include the De-
shongs in the nextreunion which
will be the Conner, Ribblet and
Deshong Reunion. Now, there
is quite a large number of the
Deshongs and their connections
in Fulton county, that would be
included in this reunion, and we
want them to consider this and
next year we want a good repre-
sentation there from Fulton coun-
ty. Any one wanting informa-
ton will call on or write L. |.
Deshong, Harrisonville, Pa. /
am getting away from our trip.
Shortly after the business meet
ing, supper was announced, and
oh, my, the way those tables did
groan under the load of good
thingsl But then there was
worse groaning after supper. In
every corner could be heard the
doleful sound Il ate too much!'
After supper, we went to take
in the sights of the City as three
of our boys had never been in
Johnstown before. After a stroll
over some of the principal parts
of the City and through one of
the large department stores we
separated for the night to the
following homes of our good
friends: Joseph Deshong to
Wesley Leffler's; John G. E.
Deshong to Joseph T. Ribblet's;
E. R. Hendershot, John F. De-
shong and myself to C. B. Hook
ensmith's; Sunday morning we
met six of our good friends at
City Park, went up the Incline to
Westmont and thence to Grand
view Cemetery where the un-
known dead of that terrible flood
are inferred; from there to Joseph
7. Ribblet's where sumptuous
dinner awaited US, then from
there to G. B. Hockensmith's and
at 8 p. m. left by way of Jen-
nerstown for home, stopping a
short time in. Stoystown to
see my niece, Mrs. Earl Stern
(nee Viola Hockensmith) then
after a short stop in both Bedford
and Everett we arrived at Har-
risonville at 8 p. m. without even
a puncture.

STORAGE DAM NEEDED

The Secretary of the Interior has
withdrawn from public entry ap-
proxmateIy six sections of land on
the Gila river, ten miles east of
Florence, as a site for a diversion
dam, to be constructed in case the
San Carlos storage dam isconstructtd d
by the government.
The withdrawal of this land means
that the San Carlos dam will be
built and that these lands will be
needed for the diversion dam.
The people of the Gila valley
should wake up to the Importance
of protecting their own interests in
the waters of the GiIa river. 1t
will be much better to get wise to
the situation now, than continue as
Rip Van WinkIe's and wake up some
day to find their water rights much
reduced by the building Of the San
Carlos dam.
The Gia Valley Water Users AS
sOciation should get busy on some
plan for holding all the water that
can be taken for the irrigation of
lands in this valley.
The very best proposition we
know of would be to get the farmers
of the valley interested in storage
reservoir in the GiIa river above
San Jose. Sufficient water can be
stored at this point, natural reser-
voir, to provide water for irrigation
Of every acre Of land in the valley.
and yet the overflow would be all
that possibly would be needed for
the San Carlos dam.
Our lands should be fully pro-
tected and now is the time to get
busy and see if something can be
done to secure a better and never
failing water supply before all un
appropriated water is forever lost
for the lands of the valley.
A high line canal from a storage
reservoir at San Jose, running to
the foot hills would bring in every

naught of our navy, But we would
like to suggest to Governor Hunt
that Graham county can furnish a
bottle of pure mountain water from
the Graham mountains that will not
be handicap on the future career
of the "Battleship Arizona"
The legend Of the Hassayampa,
that anyone who drinks from the

A PREPOSTEROUS CHARGE

Mr.. Roosevelt's recent charge
that President Wilson advocated the
proposed shipping bill in order to
furnish Germany a ready market in
which to sell her ships interned in
American waters will be- generally
construed as his most ridiculous as
well as most reprehensible effort to
discredit the admin stration.
A charge that the head of this
nation would treacherousIy promote
evil legislation by Congress for tn,
financial advancement of another
nation is not worthy Of a char atan
and might well he fitting cl, Sc to

is the last. His theory that Mr..
Wilson would forever brand his
name with infamy in order to help
a nation towards whom he at the
time in question was none too
friendly, is as farcical as it is in
famous.
The time was when Mr.. Roose-
welt had large, appreciative audi
ence, but it has long since come
about that his only chance to have
remaining any of his former friends
is to give the world long reign of
silence. He is not the only man to
measure other peoples grain in his
own peck measure, but he stands at
the head of those who would deal
with so lavish hand. - Egis and

built, are seeking to hide their own
selfish purpose in the county seat
removal matter and are not playing
an honest game.
Stafford cannot be charged with
one unfair act in this campaign.
She is perfectly willing to take her
chances in the election with Pima
and Thatcher, and both these towns
should be as fair to Stafford as she
has been to them.
1t is not a question of too high
taxes. No sane person will believe
that. 1t is a question of doing
everything possible to defeat county
seat removal so that Stafford can not
win in the election.
What burlesque on the county
seat removal bill passed by the legis-
lature, when it is given out that
county seat removal can be post
poned for six years. What about
the need Of a more central location
and the construction of d new court
house in order to preserve the pub
lie peace. health and safety.
1t will be hard thing to convince
any intelligent taxpayer that the
reasons given to the members of the
legislature as to why the bill was
an urgent one and absolutely nee
essary that it pass at once, are not
as good today as they were two
months ago. We know that those
reasons are good and sound today.
1t will also be hard thing to be-
lieve that 90 per cent of the people
of Graham county will let the WOO
be pulled over their eyes on election
day in order that county seat re-
moval may be defeated and he d up

it and will not risk election now be-
lieve they are in position to take

Buddhists in Ceylon
Rise Against Moslems

LONDON. June S.-That there has
been a riotous outbreak in Ceylon by
Buddhists against the Moslems. In
which numerous Moslem shops were
looted and many murders occurred, Is
told in an official communication made
public here.
The official statement says:
The governor of Ceylon reports that
on the 2Sth Of May. the birthday of
Buddha. Moslem shops in Handy were
looted by Buddhists. 80 ~,
b THE outbreak was quelled in Handy
but was dffused through the central
s provinces. where 1t was repressed by
the arrival of a military detachment.
''On the Slst Of May there was a
later outbreak at Colombo. which sub
seauently spread south. Martial law
has been proclaimed in the western,
central, southern. northwestern, and
Sahara Gamuwa provinces.
On the Sd of June the govd Tor left
Handy quiet and proceeded toe ,lombo
where he found the town quiet, ,ut the
district perturbed. He hoped sup
press the disorder in a few days.
THE outbreak Is due to a sudden out
break Of racial and commercial ami
mostly and is not directed against the
European populatio or the colonial
government. Much Moslem merchan-
disc has been destroyed. There have
been numerous murders and several
rioters were shot.

German Naval Expert Draws
Lessons From Sinking Of the

What are the Lessons of the Destruc-

of a recent article in the Berliner Tage-
blatt by its naval expert. Capt. l..
l.. Persius, who eulogizes the deed of
the submarine commander whose order
sent the British ocean giant to the bot

hope that in the near future another
big passenger ship will be sunk by the
Germans. His article is in part as fol-
