More ABOUT THAT CEMENT BRICK
PROJECT. —~Last week’s WATCHMAN ocon-
tained an article relative to several Belle-
fonters being back of a movement to start
& cement brick-making plans in this place
aud there is now almost absolute assarance
that the plant will he started. Recorder
J. C. Rowe snd E. E. Davis are the two
men most conspicuous in the movement
and they have already gone eo far as to se-
care an option on the mounntain of slag at
the Bellefonte furnace and it is in that vi-
cinity the plant will be located and built
just as soon as the details of the organi-
zation of the company have been worked
out.
Last week we told how the specimen
brick withstood the fire test of seventy-two
hours in a furnace heated to two thonsand
degrees, and not alfected in the least. Dar-
ing the past week they were tested at State
College in a chemical way and also for their
power of resistance, Dr. G. G. Pond mak-
ing the former test and Dr. Eton B. Walker
the latter. The chemical test was all that
could be desired while for their power of
resistance the rough brick withstood the
enormous pressure of forty thousand pounds
to the square 1och. When the fact is taken
into consideration that the ordinary and
pressed brick will tess only from twelve
hundred to two thousand pounds to the
square inch there is bardly any comparison
in resistance power between them and
cement brick. The roogh brick are used
for ordinary building and paving purposes
and, according to the tests, would ontwear
anything of the kind ever made.
The finer grade brick do not have the
same resistance power of the rough brick
but they still have ten times more thao the
ordinary brick now in use. The projectors,
however, are now at work on a formula by
which they expect to be able to turn out
the finest grade of brick with strength
equal to the rough brick. The men back
of the movement speak very favorably of
the outlook and with every confidence of a
plant being erected in the near future.
Naturally, it ie to be hoped their efforts
may be crowned with success, as it would
mean one more industry for Bellefonte.

IMPORTANT PoOSTOFFICE CHANGES.—
Daring the past two weeks V. Shone-
berger, a United States postoffice inspector,
has been in Bellefonte and vicinity inspeot-
ing the rural route service between Belle.
fonte, Zion and State College, and has sent
to the Department a recommendation for a
a new rural route from Bellefonte which
will extend from that office eonshwess
over the road leading from the Valentine
furnace to Centre furnace, past Frank
Musser, Charles Wetzel, Wm. Fishburne,
David Rhinesmith and others, to the State
College pike, where it will pass ove: State
College Route No. 3 to Centre Furnace,
from there to Rock Creamery, and thence
down Spring Creek to near the wooden
bridge ; and from thence east by way of
David Rhinesmith’s to the State College
pike past John Rishel’s down to the Lewis-
town pike and back by way of Axe Manu.
This route practically embraces Route
No. 3, of State College, which will be
abandoned, exoept the upper portion whioh
will be served by routes 1 and 2 from the
College. It will form one of the best
routes in the county, and the people on it,
who have so long lamented for eervice,
will no doubt be gratified to learn of this
importans change, which covers not only
an important but much deserved district,
Another change will go into effect on
Monday, September 7th, which will be the
closing of she Bellefonte postoffice at 7
p. m., instead of at 8 o'clock as heretofore.
This will not interfere with either the oity
delivery or the train service, as all mail
for the 8:16 p. m. train will be forwarded
if is is dropped into the box in the front of
the office before 8 o'clock. Patrons of the
office would do well to make special note
of this fact.

THE GRANGER'S PIcNic.— Wednesday
and Thursday, September 16th and 17th,
have been set apart as political days dar-
ing the Granger's picnic and encampment
at Grange Park, near Centre Hall ; the
former as Republican day and the latter
Democratic. The two county chairmen
will bave charge of the meetings on their
respective afternoons. Up to this time they
bave not, however, detinisely decided upon
the speakers for that time, though it is as-
sured that they will be men of political
prominence.
As itis now only a little more than a
week until the encampment will be for-
mally opened the committee in charge have
every arrangement for the big gathering
practically completed. Almost every one
of the two hundred aud filty tents have
already been leased for the week while
applications have been received for the
usual amount of space lor various exhibits.
It is expeoted that the display of products
of the farm will be larger this year than
ever, and of a better guality throughout.
Not a farmer in Centre county wants to
miss this big gathering.

~The d welling house of Joseph Smith,
at Howard, caught fire last Friday after
noon and before the flames could be ex-
tinguished the roof and part of the second
story were burned sway. Some of the
household goods on the second floor were
also burned. Mr. Smith did not carry any
insurance and as be is a poor man, he feels
his loss very much.

agent, a new model H, 1808 Franklin run-

be a six oylinder, procticaily the same as
his present touring car only it will be a
runabout with a ramble seat. The reason
for the change is so that he could have
more power.

~The country hereabouts is very
mach in need of rain. Farmers complain
that the corn and potatoes are drying up
and that the ground is entirely soo dry for
seeding. The roads are unusually dusty
and all the streams in the county show the
effects of she drought, though so far none
have gone entirely dry. A good rain at
this time would mean many dollars in the
pockets of the farmers.

——Rev. J. F. Hower and family left
for Williamsport Monday afternoon to at-
tend the avnual K. L. of C. E. convention
and Bible conference of the Central Peun-
sylvania conference of the United Evan-
gelical ocharch which is held this week in
the First church of shat city. On account
of the absence of the pastor there will be
no preaching services in the Evangelical
church next Sunday, September 6th.

— ~The annual Harvest Home services
were held in St. John’s Reformed church
on Sanday, both in the morning and even-
ing. The decorations consisted of grain,
vegetables, fruit and flowers, symbols of
the year’s bounteous, crops all of which
were presented to the Bellefonte hospital
on Mouday moruving. The offerings for the
support of disabled ministers amounted to
$28.75. Similar services were held at Zion
in the afternoon where the offering was
$11.37.

——Prof. Hugh P. Baker, head ol the
department of forestry at The Pennsylvania
State College, was in Clinton county last
Friday going over the lands of the Queens
Ran Fire Brick company with a view of
submitting plans whereby lands now cov-
ered with bastard oak and other scrub
timber could be cared for in a way that
would promote a growth of valuable trees.
The tract contains from five to six thousand
acres and the work is being done at the re-
quess of the United States forestry service.
——A very olose and exciting game of
ball was played on the grounds at Meadow-
brook park on Tuesday afternoon between
the Howard and Snow Shoe teams of the
Centre—Clinton league for one hundred
dollars a side. The Snow Shoe team won
in the fourteenth inning by the olose score
of 310 2. During she early part of the
game Howard seemed to have the best of
the contest, the score being 2 to 1 in their
favor up until the last ball of the ninth
inning when Snow Shoe tied the score and
it took five more innings to decide the
game. :
——Last Friday afternoon a young
Hebrew was picked up in this place on
suspicion of being Alexander Rosenbloom,
wanted in Windber on the charge of mur-
dering his father, 8. J. Rosenbloom, last
November. The young man was brought
to Bellefonte by Morris Baum, who over-
took him on the road from State College
here. He gave his name as Morton Pintis,
and very likely told the truth, as after he
was discharged on Saturday when it was
learned from a description and photograph
that he was not the man, he spent some
time in Finkelstein’s store, being slightly
acquainted with Mr. Finkelstein.
~ Another car load of peaches from
the orchard of Col. W. Fred Reynolds was
shipped from here on Tuesday. The car
was loaded on the siding of the Bellefonte
Fuel and Supply company, three teams
being used to haul the fruit so this place.
The peaches were packed in ball bushel
baskets and each wagon hauled to Belle:
fonte one hundred and eight baskets, or
fifty-four bushels. Six hundred bushels
comprised the car load. The fruit was of a
choice variety, quite large and not too ripe,
80 that it was in good condition for ship-
ment. From the yield so far Col. Reynolds’
orop will be even larger than at first esti-
mated, and may total twelve thousand
bushels. Joseph Diehl, of Howard, has
taken the entire crop, delivered on the cary
- in this place.
THE CEXTRE County FAIR.—The sn-
nual fair and exhibition of the Centre
County Agricultural Exhibiting company
is now only a few days over a mouth off
and it is none too early to begin planning
for its success. The management, of
course, are busy with the preliminary
work. The premium list will be out of the
bands of the printer in aday or two and
will then he distributed broadcast through-
out Centre counts. Every farmer will get
one and it will not only interest, bust may
pay you, to read it carefully. In it yom
can eee pot only the list of stock and arti-
cles on which premiums will be paid but
the full list of those awarded premioms as
last year’s fair and what for. No doubt
many of the WATCHMAN'S readers were
among the number given.
Bat whether you were or nos, you should
make up your mind to be there this year
and to do that you want tostart in right |
away in arranging for your exhibit. You |
know the greater the line of exhibits the
bigger the fair. The fair mavagers can
provide accommodations for the exhibits;
induce horsemen to enter their horses for
the races, furnish free amusement and
entertainments, bot it takes co-operation
upon the part of the farmers and the farm-
er’s wives and children to make the faira
success 80 far ae the exhibition part of it is
concerned.
Iu this respect they have always respond-
ed very liberally in the past and itis in
the hope that they may do so this year
that we now urge upon them the necessity
of starting in now to get their exhibit in
shape. Remember there is only ove month
more in which to do the work, and
the time will pass aronnd all too soon. Let
the Centre county fair for 1908 go down in
history as the biggest fair ever held in
Bellefonte.
BELLEFONTE BorouvGH SCHOOLS OPEN-
ING. — The public schools of Bellefonte
opened for the winter term on Monday
morning with a fairly large attendance,
aud everything started off just like clock
work, Ward Fleming, as assistant prinoi-
pal in the High school in the place of Mr.
Dickerman, and Miss Maude Harshberger,
of Milesburg, as teacher of the grammar
school in the stone building in place of
Miss Effie Snyder, are the only changes in
the corps of teachers. Several of last year's
High school graduating class are back this
year taking a speoial course, probably the
firss time in the history of the school when
old stndents returned for a post-graduate
course, a fact that speaks well for the effi-
oiency of the schools.
The number of scholars in attendanoe is
as follows : In the school taught by Mies
Bessie Dorworth, 40; Miss Helen Criss-
man, 43; Miss Helen Harper, 40; Mies
May Taylor, 30 ; Mise Jennie Longacre,
30 ; Miss Mary Underwood. 33 ; Miss Mand
Hagshberger, 33; Miss Alice Dorworth
27 ; Miss Aonie McCaffrey, 53 ; Miss Daisy
Barnes, 42 ; Mise Gertie Taylor, 42 ; Miss
Carrie Weaver, 56 ; Miss Sarah Waite, 43 ;
High school, 116, a total of 613. This
number is just thirty-five more than at the
olose of the school term in June. Consid-
ering the fact that seventeen were graduated
at that time, aud thirty-five ahead now,
shows that the town is holding ite own
pretty well. While very few families have
moved to Beliefonte, just as few have left
the town so that the school list keeps a lit-
tle in advance of the average.
PENN CAVE IMPROVEMENTS. — The
Campbell brothers, the new proprietors of
Penn cave, are determined to make that
one of the most popular resorts in Central
Penueylvania. Recently they more
fully explored what is known as the *‘dry
cave” and instead of being but one cham-
ber as heretofore supposed they found four
successive chambers, one of which is sixty
feet wide by over one hundred long, while
its greatest height is fully seventy-five
feet. It is the purpose of the proprietors
to fix up the big chamber by covering the
floor with ground limestone so that it will
be perfectly dry, then dig an opening into
it from the euiface and install a spiral
stairway so that entrance to it can be made
without going through the lake. They
also expeos to furnish it with tables and
benches and will serve lanches there if de-
sired. “They also contempiate building a
big dam in the gulch below the cave and
thus creating an outside lake. The open-
ing from the underground cavern to Penns
oreek will then be made large enough that
boating parties can go from the outside
lake into and through the cave without get-
ting out of she boat.
WENT A PEACE PICKING.—Twenty-
two members of the Allison clan enjoyed
rather an unique outing on Tuesday in the
shape of a peach-gathering party. There is
a good sized peach orchard on the old Al-
lison homstead at Potters Mills, now oocou-
pided by Edward Allison, and the trees
this year were all laden with frait. Word
was sent to the Allison relatives to assem-
ble there on Taesday and piok peaches and
each, person could have free just what they
picked. Twenty-two persons were there
for the pickiog and an idea of how many
peaches they picked can be gotten from the
fact that Archie Allison and family, of this
place, brought home with them about ten
bushels of the delicious fruit.
—A twelve pound baby boy wasa
recent addition to the family of Mr. and
Mrs. R. B. Montgomery. The boy was
