INTERESTING SESSION OF BOROUGH CouUNCIL.—Six members were present at the regular meeting of borough council on Monday evening, the absentees being | Harris, Haupt and Naginey. Isaac Underwood was present and gave | council testimonials as to the high qual- |. ities of the Emerson road roller and also two contracts in blank in the event they | concluded to purchase said roller. The matter was held for reference to the chairman of the Street committee, who was not present. > : Burgess Edmund Blanchard stated that complaint had been made to him of the condition of the gutter along the old Undine hose house on east Logan street, which is deemed very unsanitary. Sec-: retary Kelly stated that the matter had already been called to the attention of W. G. Runkle, who has charge of the property, and he has promised to abate the nuisance within the next few days. Residents of the south side of east Cur- | tin street presented a complaint about the dangerous condition of the pavement along a vacant lot adjoining the home of Thomas Todsock and asked that the same be put in a safe condition. The property is assessed as “owner unknown” and the matter was referred to the Street committee. Secretary Kelly presented a contract from the State Highway Department for repairs and maintenace of the state road within the borough limits. At the last meeting of council Mr. Harris, of the Street committee, was empowered to join with the Highway Department in having necessary repairs made to the road at a cost not to exceed $600, the borough’s share to be fifty per cent. of the total cost. The contract submitted was in conformity with the above, except that there was a proviso that in all cases highway engineers were to furnish an estimate of the cost in advance. Inasmuch as Mr. Harris was absent the matter was held over until he was present. The Water committee reported repair- ing the fireplug at the intersection of Lamb and Thomas streets and that the plug in the water works yard and the one at L. H. Gettig’s also need repairing. Mr. Seibert also reported the treasurer's receipt for ten dollars for drinking cups used at the big spring. : The Fire and Police committee reported the Burgess’ check for $40.00 for fines and licenses collected during the past five weeks. The Sanitary committee reported that so far the nuisances complained of in the rear of the Bush Arcade and in the rear of certain stores on Allegheny street have not been abated, although they have been promised that the latter will be attended to soon. The Finance committee presented the following notes for renewal: One for $1,- 000 and one $700 dated September 4th; $2,000 September 8th; $1,000 September 21st; $5,500 and $1,200 September 26th, all for six months and a note for $2,000 to be increased to $6,500 for two months from October 20th, all of which were authorized. The committee also report- ed that thelborough duplicate had been completed and the amounts assessed were as follows; For borough purposes $5,164.68; interest, $8,629.86; street, $10,365.81, a total of $24,190.35. This does not include the water tax and meter bills which are approximately $10,000. The Special committee presented the - agreement in triplicate made with the State-Centre Electric company for light- ing the streets and recommended that the same be accepted and executed. The agreement corresponds with prices, etc., as given in the WATCHMAN five weeks ago, and is to cover a period of nine years dating from October 1st, 1915. The agreement was ratified by the unanimous vote of the six councilmen present. The agreement will now have to go to the Public Service Commission for its en- dorsement. An ordinance authorizing the appoint- ment of a shade tree commission passed first reading. It is to take the place of a similar ordinance presented some weeks ago providing for the appointment of a shade tree and park playground com- mission, and is more limited in the power conferred than the latter would have been. Bills to the amount of $1,810.05 were approved and council adjourned. RE — ——On Friday of last week Fish O’Hearn, of DuBois, salesman of acetylene light plants, was returning to Bellefonte in one of D. Wagner Geiss’ livery rigs from a trip down Nittany valley. In the vicinity of Zion, he heard an automobile signal for part of the highway but be- fore he could turn out a big machine swooped down upon himand side-swiped the rig,{bending the rear axle and dish- ing the left hind wheel. The man gave his name as A. Lunk, of Saxton, Bedford county, but protested his non-liability owing tc Mr. O’Hearn not getting out of his road quick enough. Mr. Geiss, how- ever, will bring action to compell him to settle. ~ Non-Partisan. Unofficial Vote on Republican Primary Ticket. Judge of the Court of [She [Treas | er | 11. .

THE BALD EAGLE CANAL.—A reader of the WATCHMAN in Marietta, Pa., would like information regarding the old Bald Eagle canal. The only information now at hand is contained in the following ex- cerpt from “The Industries and Institu- tions of Centre County,” published by Richie and Maynard in 1877: On the 14th «of April, 1834, the Bald Eagle and Spring Creek Navigation com- pany was incorporated, with authority to construct a canal from the state works at Lock Haven to Bellefonte, a distance of twenty-five tiles. This work was completed in 1846 at a cost of a little more than $11,500 per mile. It had twenty-two lift locks, six guard-locks and ten dams. The company was: composed of the following members: ~ Roland Cur- tin, Thomas Burnside, ‘Bond ‘Valentine, James : Irvin, William - W. Potter, Joseph Harris, Joseph Miles, John Rankin and Andrew Gregg, Jr., of Centre county, and. Richard Peters and Jacob Lex, of Philadelphia. : The opening of this canal “was an im- portant event in the history of Bellefonte and Bald Eagle valley, affording, as it did, a greatly desired means of trans- portation for the products.of the forest { and farm, as well"as those of the furnace and the forge.

Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the Canad- lan explorer, who was believed lost in the Arctic, hot enly is alive and well, but has distovered a new land in the north and accomplished practically every purpose for which his hazar- dous “journey was undertaken, accord- ing to word brought to Nome, Alaska, by the power schooner Ruby, which arrived from Heschel Island. Stefansson, with two companions, Storker Storkerson and Ole. Ander- son, set out from Martin Point, Alas- ka, March 22, 1914, over. the frozen polar ocean in search for supposed new lands in the Beaufort sea. ‘Captain S. F. Cottle, master of the Ruby, says that Stefansson is now on Banks’ Land, east of the Mackenzie, outfitting for continuance of ‘the ex- plorations to the westward to ascer- tain the full extent of the mew land he has discovered southwest of Prince Patrick Island. Stefansson -discov- ered a continuance of the_continental shelf several degrees west of Banks Land and ‘even determined its south- ern limits, but was unable to continue his explorations to the north and west. : Stefansson told Captain Cottle that after leaving the supporting party on the ice north of Martin Point he and his hardy companions set their faces to the north, but aftér continuing their journey ninety days they de- cided to return to land. They turned back and landed on the mainland at a point near which the power boat Marv Sachs. of the Stefansson expedi- tion, was wintering. Here the three men outfitted for ‘another three months’ trip.’ They again went upon the ice, going north and west and dis- covering the continental shelf. Stefansson spent some time explor- ing his new find, but at length, owing to scarcity of provisions, was com pelled to set out on the return jour. ney to land. The men had been on the ice for nearly seven months. The return to shore was accomplished with great difficulty. The men sub: sisted on the most meager rations, but kept rioving day after day. The dogs were almost famished. Finally the party arrived at Banks Land, thoroughly worn out. For seven months they had been on scanty ra tions, traveling almost continually. Stefansson and his companions made their way from Banks Land, which is uninhabited, to Baillie Island, which is visited by whalers. Captain Louis Lane, cruising on his power : : : schooner Polar Bear, found Stefans. burg, with 395,037 votes and W. P. White- | son: and his companions making their way along the southwestern coast of Baillie Island. Tpey were in excel lent health and spirits and eager ta reach the southern wing of the expe dition, that they might obtain sup: plies and continue their explorations. Stefansson had expected to fall in with the Polar Bear, just as he did. He immediately chartered the schoon- ; northward at once in the hope of mak- mund Thompson.

The British prize court in London American products forming the car goes of four steamships. The products, valued at many mil lion dollars, are declared forfeit to the crown. The meat cargoes, shipped for the most part by the great American packing companies and valued by them at $15,000,000, were found by the pres*lent to be destined, except for some small items, not for con sumption in Denmark, but for delivery in Germany. He held that their event: ual destination was the German gov- ernment, for the use of its naval and military forces. To rule otherwise, Sir Samuel said, would be to allow one's eyes to be blinded by theories and technicalities.
