PENNSYLVANIA DAY AT Stare Con
LEGE.—One Congressman, three State Sen-
ators, forty-three Members of the Legisia-
ture, Gen. John A. Wiley representing
Governor Stuart, Mayor Reyburn, of Phil-
adelphia, aud hundreds of other prominent
citizens of the State were present to help
celebrate Pennsylvania Day at The Penn-
sylvania State College last Friday and
every one of them not only showed their
feality to the institution bat so far as they
could do =o pledged their sapport in its be-
ball in the fature.
It was not only the biggest Pennsylva-
nia Day ever celebrated there but it was a
big day for the College as well. It marked
an era which it is believed will prove the
beginning of even a greater growth in that
institution than even its wonderful strides
of the past decade. The very fact that over
two score Members of the Legislature from
all over the State have the interest of the
College enough at heart to travel from one
to two hondred miles to be present at last
Friday's gathering is evidence thas they
coneientiously realize that as a ward of the
State it is entitled to greater support than
it bas bzen given in the past and thas they
will unite in doing what they can to give
it. Io fact Senator Edward F. Bluette,
of Lackawanna connty, who isa member
of the Appropriations committee, pledged
himself to vote for anything the College
asked for, and that after a member of the
board of trustees had stated that they
ought to have one and a hall million dol-
lars.
The visitors began to arrive at the Col-
lege as early as Tharsday afternoon when
a private car filled with the delegation from
western Pennsylvania passed through
Bellefonte for that place. Friday morn-
ing Mayor Reyburn and the eastern delega-
tion reached the College in general mana-
ger W. W. Atterhary’s car, over the Penn-
sylvania railroad. Large delegations from
Bellefonte and the nearby surrounding
towns were taken ap over the Bellefonte
Central so that the crowd was a record
one.
The meeting of the day was held in the
new auditorium and the spacious building
was well filled. Dr. Edwin Erle Sparks,
president of the College, called the meeting
to order and after referring briefly to the
history of the College and epeaking oon-
fidently of the hopes for its future, intro-
duced General James A. Beaver, president
of the hoard of trustees, as the presiding
officer. The General very plainly stated
that the object of Pennsylvania Day was to
get together at the College as many of the
Senators and Representatives, the Govern-
or and other prominent men of the State as
poseible in order to show them whas a big
institution the College is and to impress
upon them the fact that it is fast out-
growing—in fact, bas already outgrown—
its present capacity, so far as the student
body in condbibed, 40d it if solute
necessary to have more and larger buildings
aod greater and more modern equipment
in order to keep pace with the College
growth.
He stated that when Governor Stuart
was at the College one year ago he stated
that the institution needed twenty million
dollars and be was afraid they were going
to get it. That the Governor's remark
fitted in exactly at thie time, and that they
ought to bave one and a hall millions of
that amount appropriated by the next
Legislature. Other speakers of the day
were Mayor Reyvburn, of Philadelphia, who
confined his talk principally to the needs
of the College; Dr. M. L. Wilson, of Phil-
adelphia; Gen. John A. Wiley, Sen-
ator Edward F. Bluette and Represen-
tatives W. T. Creasy, John F. Cox and
William 8. Morrison. It was during Sen-
ator Bluette's talk that he pledged him-
self to vote for any appropriation the Col-
lege might ask. Everyone of the speakers,
in fact, pledged themselves to do all they
could for the College.
Prior to the meeting in the anditorinm
the visitors bad heen taken on a hurried
‘trip of inspestion through all the buildings
and various departments. Alter the meet-
ingan exhibition drill was given by the
regiment of cadets and this was followed
by the annual football game between the
Sophomores and Freshmen, in which neith-
er side was able to score. A big dance
in the armory in the evening closed
the days program. The State Senators,
Representatives and Members-elect present
were as follows;

done with the exception of tearing up a

——Frank Davis, the cigarmaker who

puffed up over the fact that he was one of
the first hunters to bring some venison to
Bellefonte, and that hecanse of his own un-
erring aim. The big buck he shot last week
on the mountains near Coburn weighed 185
pounds. It had four prongs on one side of
its antlers and five on the other. The hiad
and hide he brought to Bellefoute on Mon-
day, sending the former to taxidermist
Eldon, in Williamsport, to have mounted
and the hide away to he tanned. He also
brought enough of venison along to give a
few of his friends a mess of same.

— Yesterday morniog’s fire emphasizes
the necessity of keeping the fire plugs in
Bellefonte in a better condition than some
of them, at least, are at present. At a re-
cent meeting of council she water super
intendent was instructed to test all the
plugs and see that they were in good work-
ing order. He later reported that the work
had been done. Whether is had or not, the
writer is not prepared to say but he does
koow that when the Logan fire company
arrived on the scene of the fire yesterday
morning and attempted to get a stream
from the fire plug on the corner of Lamb
and Ridge streets the valve could not be
turned by band and it required several
minutes to hammer it loose. The minutes
wasted gave the fire on big start on the fire.
men and doubtless resuited in a greater
destruction of property than would have
ocourred could water have been had as
once. Every fire plug in town should be
tested often enough to assure it being in
good condition when needed. To assure
this a thorough test will be made of them
today by the water superintendent and fire
marshall.
BorouGH ELECTRIC PLANT ASSURED.
—As stated exclusively in the WATCHMAN
last week the deal was consummated in
Tyrone last Thursday evening whereby the
borough of Bellefoute purchased from J.
R. Simpson, of Huntingdon, and Dr. E. H.
Green, of Mill Creek, the property in Miles
barg known as the estate of the late Joseph
Green, consisting of between thirty and
thirty-five acres and which includes the
large brick grist mill and the dam and
water power rights. Though the exact
figures cannot yet be stated the purchase
prioe is in the neighborhood of $13,000.
The property was parchased with a view
of establishing a hydro-electric plant there
for the purpose of supplying electricity to
light the streets of Bellefoute as well as to
tarnish power to pump the water from the
big spring into the reservoir. As figured
now the entire cost of installing the plant
at Milesburg,stringing the wires and equip-
ping the streets with lamps, furnishing a
motor to run the pump at the water works
and including the cost of the land may not
exceed $30,000, with a maximum of $35,000
As to the judicionsness of the investment
it can be stated that it now costs approx.
imately $5,000 to light the streets of
Bellefonte. A rental of $1,500 a year is
paid for the Phoenix pumping station while
the coal ball this year for the old station
will aggregate $500. Add to this the sum
of $1,500 a year paid for labor at the pumps
aod it will be seen that for lighting the
streets of the town and farnishing water to
its residents costs practically $8,500 a year.
With the new plant once installed the only
expense will be for labor, say $1,500; street
lights, carbons, and other incidentals, abont
$500. Counting in addition five per cent.
on a total of $18,000 as the cost of the
plant, for the natural depreciation by wear
aod tear, or $900, there will be an aggre-
gate of $2 900, as agaiust the present ex-
penditare of $8,500, or a saving of $5,600.
Even allowing an additional thousand dol-
lare to be added to the expenditures the
saving would still be fifty per cens. of the
present expense acoouus.
In addition the plant to be installed will
be one of ample capacity to furnish all the
power needed to permit of double the num-
ber of lights on the streets that are now in
use, and still have an abundance of power
tospare. The special committee of council!
who conducted the pegotitations for the
purchase of the Green property had a sur:
vey of the same made several weeks ago
and a computation of the maximaom and
minimidm power of the plant made by J.
Murray Africa, of Huntingdon, one of the
hest versed men on hydro-electric plants in
the country.
He figured ou about a five foot high
breast at the dam avd dredging out the tail
race to a depth of two feet or more, which
can easily be done. With the above work
completed there is ample water power to
furnish electric power equal to three huon-
dred horse power at least eight months in
the year. And iv the driest season, as it
is now, the minimum would be one han-
dred and sixty-five horse power. It is esti-
mated that to furnish the lights as they
will be placed on the streets will require
seventy-five horse power and for pumping
the water not over filty horse power, which
would give an excess of forty horse power
at the minimum of the plant.
The above are the main points of what a
wunicipai hydro-electrio plant will mean,
while there are quite a namber of minor
features, though important enough when
taken together, which may slightly reduce
the first cost of the plant from she figures
given above, aud, il they are successfully
carried through will reduce the cost of
operation to considerable less than the
amonnt given ahove.
Work on the plant in general will not
be commenced before next spring thongh a
new roof will be put on the old mill build-
ing at once. Aside from the roof the build-
ing isin a splendid condition and will
make a first class power bounse. The dam,
which will be built as early as possible
next spring, will be ol massive concrete
work so that it will withstand ali kinds of
floods and last for years.
The entire project will be financed by
oue individual io Bellefonte who will be
paid back in yearly rentals or instalments.
BorrOoWED Rig To DRIVE HOoME.—On
Saturday the Misses Corman drove down
from their home on Buffalo Run to do some
shopping. They tied their horse in front
of the house occupied by George A. Beezer
on Howard street and when they were ready
to start home about five o'clock they were
completely dismayed to find both horse
and buggy missing. The affair was re-
ported to the police and in a short time it
was learned that a certain individonal from
State College, whese name is known, by
the way, had been in Bellefonte and after
filling up on liguor bad taken the rig to
drive home. He was seen going out of
town bat at the time it was not known be
bad stolen the rig. Word was telephoned
to Lemont to apprehend him if he was seen
but he got through there without anybody
noticing him. Late in the evening, how-
ever, the huggy was found on the road to
State College and the horse tied in an
alley. The young ladies, being unable to
get home that evening, spent the night with
friends in Roopshurg. Both the horse and
buggy were returned on Sunday in good
condition. The man who took the rig was
arrested on Monday and brought to jail.
Don't ForGeT.—Within the next few
weeks we will have to ges a lot of subserip-
tion returns or on the first of the yeara
lot of readers will have to be dropped. If
your label reads any time in 1907 you bad
better mail ue $2.50. It will take thet
much, $1.50 for the past year and $1.00
for the year in advance.

before the flames could be conquered the

through the roof between the kitchen and
the main part of the house, but just how it
started is not known. foils is

Zion, and is a complete wreck. The loss
on same will be from $1,500 to $1,800,

have bad there been plenty of water.

houses in what is known as the Rhoads
