MANY Deer KiLLED.—The deer hunt-
ing season will come to an end on Satur-
day and while it has been impossible up
to this time to get anything like an ac-
curate number of the deer killed in this
section, it is no exaggeration to state that
the complete returns will show the larg-
est number killed in years, notwithstand-
ing the absence of a tracking snow and
other unfavorable conditions during the
first half of the season. In fact the re-
turns so far received would indicate that
not less than one hundred and fifty bucks
will be the harvest from the same terri-
tory that last year yielded less than one
hundred. As one instance of how plenti-
ful deer are this fall the Decker party, of
Pine Grove Mills, hunting over in Decker
valley in the Seven mountains, declare
that all told last week they saw forty-
eight deer, quite a number of which were
bucks. Up to last Saturday they had two
to their credit but expected to bring
home one or two more by the end of the
season. The Kepler party of the same
place got a nice buck the latter part of
last week.
The first deer brought to Bellefonte
this season, were by L. H. Gettig on Sat-
urday evening. He came in with two
fine bucks, the result of the week’s hunt
of the Gentzel party out in the Green
Woods. The bucks were five and six
pronged ones and the latter weighed al-
most two hundred pounds. They were
taken to Gettig's butcher shop where
they will be cut up for distribution when
all the members of the party return
home.
The Orviston hunting party, in camp
at the head of Big run in the Alleghenies,
got three bucks at one killing last Satur-
day. The men were starting out to make
a drive and while walking quietly through
the woods came upon a herd of ten deer.
Before the deer could scatter the hunters
opened fire and three fell dead at the
first volley. A fourth buck was wound-
ed but got away.
The Earon party in camp on Baker's
run in the Scootac region had five deer
hanging up by the end of last week, and
were hopeful of getting more this week.
Up until Sunday the “Dick” Quigley
party of Look Haven located at McClure’s
Springs, had three deer to their credit,
one of which was shot by Mrs. Quigley.
Since the opening of the hunting season
they have also secured 154 pheasants.
Henry C. Quigley Esq., of this place, has
been out with this party this week but at
this writing we have not received any
returns of his prowess.
The Uzzle party hunting out beyond
Karthaus got one buck, and a party from
Madera hunting in the mountains back
of Hayes Run, got four deer and a bear.
James Shearer, of Williamsport, hunt-
ing near Loganton, on Monday killed a
buck which weighed 185 pounds. All
told twelve deer have been killed in the
Brush Valley Narrows.
The Foster crowd at State Ccllege had
three deer up to Tuesday of this week,
and the Riley party of Boalsburg five.
On Monday a large doe ran into a wire
fence at Coburn and hurt itself so badly
that it was killed and the carcass sent to
the Bellefonte hospital.

considerable social activity as a number
of the fraternities held receptions and
dances. The first part of the exercise on
Friday morning was an industrial parade
in which thirty-one large floats were used
to show the different departments of the
college as well as the work of the stu.
dents. This was a very interesting fea.
ture. Following the parade the new
annex to the engineering building was
dedicated, and later the regular Pennsyl-

ditorium. Governor Tener presided at
this meeting and the principal address
was made by Attorney General John C.
Bell. Senator Boies Penrose was present
and also made a brief speech.
In the afternoon the battalion of cadets,
numbering twelve hundred young men,
was inspected by Adjutant General
Thomas J. Stewart. The Sophmore-
Freshmen football game resulted in a tie

held in the armory Friday evening, which
closed the day's exercises, though the
Governor and party remained through
Saturday in order to inspect the work
being done on the new penitentiary site.
Among the prominent guests present
were Gov. Tener, Attorney General John

would be beyond our power of descrip

exceed those of the parties to a con:
troversy as to render the former para.
mount. To this paramount interest
both the railroad operators and the
employes should submit.”
To place such a strike beyond the
realms of probability, the board advo
cates the creation of federal and state
wage commissions. These commis
sions, the board suggests, should be
vested with practically the same pow-
ers over organized lahor as pubii¢
utilities commissions now exercise
over quasi-public corporations.
“It is the belief of the board,” con
tinues the decision, “that in the last
analysis the only solution is to qualify
the principle of free contract in the
railroad service.”
From this suggestion P. H. Morris
sey, the representative of the engi
neers on the board, dissents.
While the award increases wage:
on some railroads and for some class
es of service, it holds that a general
Increase on all roads is not warrant
ed. The award dates back to May 1
last, and will hold for one year from
that date.
Mr. Morrissey, representing the en
gineers, has already indicated doubt
as to its renewal. In the past, with
several notable exceptions, the con
tracts between the roads and the en
gineers have heen renewed annually.
Following are the more important
of the board's awards and the requests
of the engineers: |
In passenger service, a minimum
wage was granted of $4.25 for 100
miles or less; and an overtime rate of
650 cents per hour with an average
speed of twenty miles per hour. The
engineers asked $4.40 and $4.60 per
day of 100 miles, according to the size
of the locomotive cylinder, with an
overtime rate of 70 cents per hour
| after five hours.
In through freight service a mini
mum was granted of $4.75 per day of
; 100 miles or less, with overtime pro
rata after ten hours. The engineers
requested rates of $5.25, $5.50 and
$6.75 per day of 100 miles, accoriing
to size of the engine; and $7 for Mal
let engines; the same rates to apply
to mine runs, work, wreck, helper or
pusher, milk and circus trains.
In local freight service, twenty-five
cents additional to the through freight
rates was granted. This met the full
request of the engineers.
In switching service, a minimum of
$4.10 a day of ten hours or less was
granted. The engineers asked $4.50
per day of ten hours in switching ser
vice and for belt line service.
All existing rates higher than the
minimum granted by the board are
continued in force.
In fixing the minimum wage in pas
senger service at $4.25 per day, a
higher minimum rate is established
for the roads, parties to the arbiira
tion with the exception of a few.
In awarding the minimum through
freight rate of $4.75 per day, the
board establishes wages for the dis
trict that measurably approach the
current minimum of roads now naying
the better rates.
In making the rate for local freight
service twenty-five cents higher than
through freight service a general in-
crease of compensation is granted.
The effect of the twenty-mile per
hour basis of computing overtime in
the passenger service, the rules re-
garding final terminal delay and other
changes in the rules of service are all
more favorable to the engineers than
existing rules on many of the roads.
