Forestay Squap oF Stare COLLEGE PURSUE INVESTIGATIONS ON VALENTINE TiuBEe Tract. —The first practical work by the forestry department of The Pennsyl- vania State College towards a preservation of the forests of the State and a reforestization of she denuded lands throughout the Com- monwealth was done the past two weeks by Hugh P. Baker, head of the department at the College, and J. E. Ingram, R. H. Thompson, 8. 8. Sadler and R. C. Wagaer, foar Juniors, who established a camp on the Valentine timber tract about amile and a balf southeast of Bellefonte, and have been carrying on practical investigations relasirg to the work. They bad with them several days during their stay Prof. W. H. voo Bayer, of the United States Department of Forestry, who assisted them in their work. Their in- vestigations consisted in making a stody of the varions kinds of trees to find out just which varieties of wood were best adapted to the coil and locality, in respect to growth, bardiness and longevity. In this connection they learned that the three native varieties, white pine, ohestout and white oak were the leading varieties. Hem- lock, red oak and black oak also thrived bat will not prove as thrifty growers or nearly as remunerative for reforestization a8 she three first mentioned varieties, From an examination of the three first varieties it was learned thas in from twen- ty-five to thirty years after planting they would grow into trees of marketable value, while each succeeding ten years would in- crease their value a good per cent. The ouly foe to the preservation of she forests in this section of the State, and which would apply to timber lands in all parts of the State as well, according to the investigations of the above expert foresters, is fire. The loss is not only the hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of marketable timber destroyed by forest fires, but in the total destruction of the young trees which would in a few years if preserved become of immense value themselves. The College forestry department does not intend to let their work for the preserva- tion of forests end with the work doue in their camp on the Valentine lands the past two weeks. While there they made a measurement of the lands and timber thereon and thus were able to give a very accurate estimate of the amount of timber of marketable size and the value thereof. These trees they bave marked aod they will be cat and manufactured into lumber. This will then give the young trees a better opportunity for rapid growth and it is the purpose of the department to keep in tonoh with this particular trect in order to more fully determine the exact peridd it takes to reforest denuded lands. This was the first camp of this kind beld by the forestry departments of the College, but they intend to make it an aonoal affair, to be beld each year in a different portion of the State until their investiga- tions have been pursued on all the princi- pal wooded lands in the Commonwealth. In speaking of the forestry department Prof. Baker eaid : ‘Is is our aim to make this department not only a place of etudy where young men can be taught forestry in all its branches but we intend it to be a help to the people of the State in preserving the forests of the State as faras it is possi- ble to doso. This can be done in various ways, but the principal ones are the fight against fire, and this, by the way, is the most destructive of all ; avd by teaching the owners of timber when to cut it to ee- cure best returus and at the same time pre serve and foster the growth of the young timber ou the land. ““The scarcity of timber in Pennsylvania bas already become an all-absorbing ques- tion and anything that will tend to pre- serve what timber we do have until ite greaiest value cap be secured and at the same time establish a sore means of re- forestizing the thousands of acres of moun- tain lands which are now practically worthless, is a subject worthy of deep con- sideration, and it is just this that the forestry department of The Pennsylvania State College purposes teaching. Reforest- ization is no experiment and it only needs landowners taking the matter in haod as ‘they would any other husiness proposition and, while it will naturally take years to do it, the time will come when the now denuded mountaine will again be covered with a geod growth of timber.” Prol. Baker and his squad of students broke camp yesterday and returned to the College. TAaYLoR GETS MORE STATE RoaD. —R. B. Taylor, of this place, will have his bands fgll thie summer building state roads. He ir now working on the piece of road through Milesburg borough and also grading the new athletio field at State Col- lege, while on June 19th he was awarded contracts for building”a piece of road in Harris township and one in Rash township. The former is 6.044 feet in length, for which there were four bidders, Taylor's bid being $8,952 35. There were seven bids for the piece of road in Rush vownship, 7.507 feet in length, Taylor getting the contract on a bid of $15,208.50. It might be interesting to state that there was less than eight hundred dollare difference in the seven bids for the Rush township read and less than five hundred dollars differ- ence in the four bids for the Harris town- ship road. Work on both roads will be commenced as soon as possible and the contract calls for their completion within sixty daye from time of starting. --Centre countians who bave been granted increases in pensions recently areas follows : James C.

And the fact that she is kept quite husy all the time shows thas the public appreciate her efforts and are willing to extend ber their patronage. ~——On Tuesday Harvey Stine shipped his household goods to State College and ou Wednesday be and his family lefs for that place to make their fatare home. For many years Mr. Stine has been one of Bellefonte’s most faithful draymen aud by thrift and economy accumulated enough to buy a home at State College. He will continue the draying business there and also rent rooms to stodents during the col- lege season. -— Patent kid aod doogola strap slip- pers for baby 25¢. at Yeager's shoe store. ——— —— Rev. A. M. Schmids,of the Reformed church, preached a very timely sermon on Sanday evening when be discussed the evils of young girls running the streets day and night and promiscuously making the ac- quaintance of every stranger they come across. He referred to this as one of the greatest social problems of the present day, for which a solution and remedy muss soon be found if we would preserve the chastity and purity of young womanhood. ————— A So —— —— Beginving yesterday evening the majority of the stores in Bellefonte inang- urated the early olosing movement, so that during the vext two months they will close at six o'clock every evening except Wednesdays aod Satardays, when the ueual bours will be observ- ed. This (Fiiday) evening, however, they will keep open until a later hour owing to the fact that all the stores will close to- morrow at nooo for the rest-of the day. > ——W. R. Houser, who for a number of years wae manager of the store of W. A. Gould & Bros., of Brisbin, has resigned that position and moved bis family to Bellefonte, into the house owned by Mr. Sechler on Willowbank street.

By this route one train crew could do the work that three orews are now doing. The only advantage such an arrangement would bave aside from benefitting the railroad company would be the probable placing of one extra crew both at Tyrone and Lock Haven. — ~——While fishing from the foot bridge back of the spriog about 9:30 o'clock last | Saturday evening T. H. Harter caught a California rainbow trout which measured 22} inches and weighed 4} pounds. This was the largest trout of this species caught in this locality in years and considering the fact that it was caught on a No. 14 hook and Newville midge fly, and landed with a four ounce rod, the feat is an up- usual one. Mr. Harter gave the trout to the Bellefonte hospital. ss A em —— Beware of the toy pistol and blank cartridges tomorrow. Naturally every patriotic youogster, as well as some older people, will want to celebrate the Fourth in good old style. But while you are doing so don’t fail to exercise due precaution when bandling explosives. All over the country there is always a trail of injury and death following in the wake of July 4th, and for this reason yor cannot be too careful. And while you are taking care of yourself remember that it is vot only un- gentlemanly and uokind but very daoger- ous to point a pistol at a person even if you are shooting blank cartridges only; and equally so to light a firecracker and then throw it into a crowd of people. In a woid, don’t aot foolish. ~——Curtin township must be the abiding place of some very charming girls if the story from there of the severe pommeling two men gave each other hesause of one ie correct. - According to the story Jake Brickley and & young man by the name of Weaver got into an altercation at Rohb's store, last Friday evening, over a gil and as they could not settle the matter smica- bly decided to have it out with their fists. Brickley was getting the better of Weaver when the latter's brother, Austin Weaver, interfered with the result that Brickley knooked them both out. “In fact Austin Weaver was so badly hurt that he is now in the Look Haven hospital where it is said his injuries are quite serions. One side of bis face, even to the jaw bone was literally hammered into a pulp while the jaw bone on the other side of the face was broken. The man was taken to Howard where phy- sicians fixed him op as well as possible after which be was taken to the Look Haver hospital. So far no arrests have been made. OH, WHAT A DiamoNDp !—The ahove exclamation is beard scores of times every day, but it does not bave reference to a precious stone, bat the public square in front of the court house. Rats and holes and mud are about the only words thas describe its condition correctly. There is bardly another street in the town that is not io far better condition than the Dia- mound, aud so far there is no wsngible evi- dence of any intention to repair it soon. Of course we are aware of the fact that an application ie pending for a state road through Bellefonte, but said application bas been pendiog so long that its being granted this year, at least, is problematical. The Diamond is not only a nightmare to all automobilists and drivers of vehicles hat ap eyesore to every mau and woman who has the beauty of the town at heart. Even it it is not deemed expedient to repair it permanently it could be putin a paseably fair condition with a few loads of crushed limestone which would be far better than allowing it to remain as it is. And the pavement in front of the court house yard and soldier’s monument is in little better condition than the Diamond. If the Street committee was to find such a pavement as that on one of the far out streets of the town they would compell the owner to repair it at once, while that pave” ment is allowed to be there, the most prominent spot in the town. If itis trae, as allegéd, that the county commissioners bave signified their willingness to put down a uew concrete pavement just as soon as council gives them a grade, then it is little less than criminal negligence or care- leesness on their pars that the grade is not given. The WATCHMAN does not wish to pose as a croaker, but complaints as to the above are heard so persistently on all sides that we cannot help calling attention to the matter. ————— A min. NATIONAL GUARD CaMP —Before anoth- er issne of the WATCHMAN reaches ite read- ers company B, of this place, will be in camp at Gettyshurg where the annual en- campment of the Nationa! Gaard will this year be held. If the boys in blue contem- plate having an easy time at camp this year they bad better disabuse their minds of that fact prior to.leaving for camp, as the arrangements as now mapped out are for a week of very hard work along a dit. ferent line from any heretofore pursued. Since June Sth a detachment of men from the new engineer company, of Scran- ton, under command of Capt. Danning, have been at Getsyehurg and bave sur. veyed a stretoh of ground covering twenty- four equare miles,and which includes some of the most strategic points of the old Gettysburg battlefield. The ground is nn- dulating with freguens stretches of timber, making av ideal country over which troops can maneuver under cover. Maps of the land bave been made and it is the purpose during the week of the encampment to put the troops through a series of sham battles as near real warfare as it is possible to do without bloodshed. A detachment of regu- lar troops will assist in the mimic warfare. The Second brigade,in which is the Fifth regiment, will this year be camped in the vicinity of the peach orchard, or the furth- est away from Gettysburg of any of the troops. Advance details will leave for Gettysburg to prepare the camp on Tues. day, July 14th, and the entire division must be on the ground and thoroughly set- tled for camp life by the 17th. —r ToxMorrOW'S BiG PICNIC. — Are you going to the big picnic of the Undine fire company at Hecla park tomorrow? Be- cause if yon are not you will be one of the very few stay-at-homes. Dost everybody else is going and the indications are it is going to be one of the biggest pionics the Undines ever held.
