Tre Baup Eacre TerLepHONE CoM-
PANY.—When the telephone was first in-
troduced for general use to the public it
little more a wonder than bas now been
the organization and growth of the Bald
Eagle Telepbone company. When the
many advantages of farmers’ telephone
lines, covering the rural districts, were
advocated less than eighteen months ago in
this county, the idea was scouted by many
as impracticable, and it was only the most
hopefal who bad courage enough to take
hold of the movement. Now Centre coun-
ty is literally covered with a network of
farmers’ telephone lines, and what was
only a short time ago regarded asa luxury
far heyond the reach of the man living in
the country is now recognized as much of
a necessity as the United States mail serv-
ice.
After most of the farmers’ lines through-
out the connty had not only been orgaviz-
ed, but many of them built and in opera-
tion, a number of farmers and others liv-
inv in Bald Eagle valley conceived the idea
that it wonld be a good thing to bavea
farmers’ line throughout that locality.
Meetings were held and on April 17th,
1906, the Bald Eagle Telephone company
was incorporated with a capital stock of
$15,000. At that time the project had not
gone farther than for the building of a line
from Howard to Mill Hall. Work was be-
gun soon after the charter was secured and
as the work advanced, and the residents
of the various communities realized the
advantages of telephone connection with
all parts of the county, extensions to the
original line were planned until what was
at first intended to be but a farmers’ live
resolved itself into an independent tele-
phone company of proportions far besond
the knowledge of any hut those iuterest-
ed.
The lines now owned and operated by
the Baid Eagle Telephone company, with
mileage, are as follows: Beginning at
Howard, as the central point, thence down
Bald Eagle valley, thence to Beech Creek
and on to Mill Hall, a distance of thirteen
miles, where connection is made with the
lives of the United Telephone and Tele-
graph company, extending to its exchange
io Lock Haven. Anotber line runs from
Howard through the gap to Jacksonville,
extending east and west through little
Nittany valley, noross the ridge to
Hublersbury, a distance of over thirteen
miles, where connection is also made with
the lines of the United Telephone and
Telegraph company, extending to its ex-
chavge in Bellefonte. Another line ruus
from Howard to Romola and Orvis, where
the plant of the Hayes Run Fire Brick
company is located. This line is eleven
miles in length. A fourth line rans from
Howard to Mt. Eagle and Roland, a dis-
tarce of seven miles, making in all a total
of between forty four and forty-five miles
of line.
The first line was opened for operation
about July first when an exchange was in-
stalled ino Howard, in the Jackson Kline
building, corner of Main and Walnut
streets. And this exchange far eclipses any
other in this and adjoining counties. The
switchboard aod telephones were manu:
factured by the Dean Electric company, of
Elyria, Ohio. The apparatus is known as
the Dean Electric Harmonic Selective
Sigoaling system. It is the most up-to-
date system known in the world. In fact,
there were only two other systems like it
in the State of Pennsylvania prior to the
installation of the plant at Howard. (ts
superiority lies in the fact thatthe oper-
ator at the switchboard is able to call any
subsoriber on a party line without ringing
the bells of any of the other subscribers on
the same line, while a subscriber on a party
line can call the exchange without ringing
the bells of any other subscriber on the
same line, a fact which practically gives to
each subscriber a private line, insuring
greater privacy and vastly improved serv-
ice, as there is none of the annoyance of
one or more subscribers answering the
wroug call.
As to the personnel of the company: As
stated in the beginning of this article, iis
capital stock is $15,000. This is divided
into 1,500 shares as $10 per share, all fall-
paid and non-assessable. The company has
only been in operation since the first of
July and its earnings have been such that
it has already been decided to pay a first
dividend of three per cent. on January 1ss,
1907. The company already has about
seventy-five subscribers on the Howard
exchange.
The present officers of she company are
as follows: President, W. I. Harvey; vice
president, Ellis L. Orvis; SesTSiEy Tenn,
urer, Nelson E. Robb.

reliable source comes the news that it is
now almost certain that 3 new passenger
train is to be put on the New York Central
railroad between Williamsport and Mill
Hall where connections are made with the
Central Railroad of Pennsylvania for Belie-
fonte. These rumors have not been verified
by the officials but come from a reliable
source. The new train will make two
round trips each day, according to the
report, It will go down in the morning,
arriving at Williamsport about 8 o'clock,
and returning will leave that place about
11 o'clock. Then is will go down again
about 5 o'clock in the afternoon and
return a¢ 8p. m. Such a train would
increase traffic on the Central without a
doubt and prove a great convenience.

With THE HUNTERS.—With the large
number of Centre conntians now out on the
hant for deer it is only natural that the
ordinary question one hears nowadays is
how many deer do they have. The WarcH-
MAN has endeavored to get accounts from
all the hunting parties out bus isso far has
proven a pretty difficuls thing to do,for the
simple reason that very few of the large
number who went ous for the opening day
have retarned. Of one thing, however, we
are firmly convinced, and that is, thas while
quite a number of deer have been killed in
Centre county so far this season, the big-
gest part of the total were killed on the
first two days when there was a tracking
snow in the mountians. So far as we Lave
been able to get information reports from
the different camps are as follows :
Roger Brouse came home on Wednesday
evening with the disappointing story that
so far the Panthers have no deer. Though
they left here oa Wednesday of last week
they did not get located in camp until Fri-
day, after the snow had disappeared, con-
sequently missed the only two real good
bunting days. Bat then Brouse is still
hopeful.
The Confer—Lucas—Batler party, of
Howard, havea five pronged huck and a
180 pound doe.
The Weaver boys of Romola, have four
deer and a 150 pound bear.
The Betz hunters from Jacksonville have
three deer and a bear.
Bob Maun’s outfit has one small doe.
Charlie Daley’s party bas a big bear,
oue of the biggest on record.
The Kerrmoor crowd on the pike above
Flatrock have three or four deer.
The Port Matilda boss in Fogate hollow
have one deer.
The Gatesbarg crowd, Capt. John Lem-
on's ‘‘Roozeveltians,”’ lccated at Wolfs
Rocks, had a 200 pound bear when last
heard from.
The Williams—Mattern—Clemson party
at Six Mile run captured two deer the first
day but no late report has been received
from them.
On his way to join a bunting party over
in Stone Valley, Mr. Geo. Rossman, of
Pine Grove Mills, shot a fine two pronged
buck, just above that town, on Wednesday
morning.
The Ewing —Lightoer bunting party who
are camping on the mountain above Pine
Grove Mills, captored two fine deer the
early part of the week.
A crowd olf Philipshurgers at Six Mile
run bave two deer.
Woomer's Morrisdale club at Black Mo-
shannon got one deer, while the Gillen-
town club located at the same place got
four.
Rabe Comley’s party at Rattlesnake got
two deer the first day.
A party of Tyroners hunting in Sugar
valley got a spike buék.
A party from Lemont headed by Jack
Mitchell went into the Bear Meadows just
for the first day and came out with a five
doe.
The Modoos of Boalsburg bad one deer at
last reports and a 320 pound bear.
The Bradford party, of Centre Hall,
a nice doe the first day.
The State College crowd got a fine buck
shortly after daylight on the opening day.
The animal was shot just back of Shiogle
town.
Emanuel Houser, of Callege township,
brought in a large buck be shot near Pine
Swamp.
Geo. Walk and W. Price killed a 250
pound bear at Flat Rock while a Bellwood
party killed a cub at the same place which
weighed 100 pounds.
The Uzzle party from Snow Shoe, hunt-
ing up at the head of Little Sandy oreek,
bave six deer.
The Gentzel—Zimmerman party in the
Green woods have three deer.
Poe valley hunters have seven deer.
Last Friday morning a 200 pound doe
came off of Tossey mountain right down
into Baileyviiie and got tangled in a wire
fence. It was killed with a revolver by
got
Daniel Irvin. On examination three other
bullet holes were found in the animal.
The above totals fitty-two deer and six
bears, thoogh it is likely more have been
killed. Trainmen on the Lewisburg and
Tyroue railroad say there is hardly a day
they do not have adeer to handle. On
Tuesday five deer were shipped east from
the lower end of the county and on Wed-
nesday they brought three dcer and a bear
up the valley. By next week it may be
possible to give a faller report of the num-
ber of deer killed.
FaMiLy ReuxioN.—Thirty-eight years
ago Mrs. Mary A. Shaw, nee Sheasley, left
Clinton county and with her young hus-
band went west and located in Illinois.
She isnow east for the first visit in all
these years and this fact was taken advan-
tage of by her brother, George Sheasley, to
bold a family reunion at his home at
Flemington last Thursday. Tbe occasion
proved a most enjoyable one and of the
children of Mr. and Mrs. George Sheasley
all were present except ove, Martin, of
LaGrande, Oregon. Those attending the
reunicn were: Charles B. Sheasley, State
College; John C., wife and children, Al-
toona; Mrs. Julia R. McKissie, husband
and son, MoKees Rocks; Samuel J., wife
and-daoghter, Cedar Springs; Mrs. Lizzie
H. Meyers, husband and daughter, Beech
Creek; Milton G., wife and ron, Mill Hall;
Mary C., Lewis G., Almond A., Ernest E.,
Walter S. and Ella M., at home. One

Foorsarnr ToMmorrRoW.—What will
probably be the last game of football in
Bellefonte this season will be played at the
fair grounds tomorrow hetween the Belle-
fonte Academy and Williamsport High
school teams. WHeu the Academy played
the same team in Williamsport on election
day they came off victorions by the score of
5 to 0 and this very fact will likely spur
the Lumber city lads on to try and get
their revenge here tomorrow, and to do this
they will probably come here with a strong
team. Inany event the game promises to
be a very good one and should draw a large
crowd. The Academy has heen playing
good hall this season, having been defeated
but once by a team in its own class and
they will certainly do their best to win to-
morrow. The price of admission will be
but twenty-five cents and everyhody who
goes should pay.
Perens —FoRsHEY.—George Peters and
Miss Nell Forshey were married at the home
of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.
Forshey, in Philipsburg, Wednesday even-
ing of last week. The ceremony was per-

the last two mouth« or more.
The Street committee reported that the
pavement along the property of Frank
Warfield and that occupied by Mrs. Merri-
man, on Cartin street, had heen lowered to
grade. The Water committee reported a
number of improvements at the water
works, and that meter Lills for the October
quarter to the amount of $840 had been
given to W. A. Ishler for collection. The
Village Improvement committee reported
having taken up the question of posting
bills on telephone and electric light poles.
The companies interested oppose thie meth-
od of advertising and council decided to
notify the burgess tosee that the nuisance
is abated in the future.
The repairing of the lock-up was given
some consideration. There is no question
as to the place being in a bad condition
and Mr. Seibert preseateda proposition

ern construction at a cost of $280. The
matter wae discussed from every standpoint
but finally held under consideration until
next weeting.
Chairman Kirk, of the Street committee,
reported thas the telephone pole at the Cen-
tral Railroad of Pennsylvania station had
been moved to the place desiguated by
council. A number of walks on east Car-
tin street were reported in a frightful con-
dition and property owners are to be noti-
fied to make the necessary repairs. Report
was aleo made of the bad condition of the
crossings in the Diamond, which, during
