. LATEST ON THE SILK MILL.
| No Truth in Rumor that Bellefonte
i Plant will Not be Built.
1
Stories have been rampant in Belle
: fonte the past several weeks that the
silk mill proposition has exploded and
: that the company has accepted a bet-
‘ter offer to locate elsewhere. How
: much truth there is can be judged
| from the following statement given
out by Robert F. Hunter on Wednes-
day, and as he has been one of the
leading men interested in securing
this industry for Bellefonte any state-
ment given by him can be regarded
as authoritative. Mr. Hunter says:
“There seems to be a persistent ru-
mor in Bellefonte and vicinity to the
effect that the J. H. and C. K. Eagle
Silk Co. has abandoned its purpose to
locate a plant in Bellefonte. What-
ever the source of these rumors they
are no doubt accentuated by the ap-
parent delay in any visible activity in
the matter on the part of the Eagle
company.
«This delay has been occasioned by
some difficulty in plotting the first
building unit and providing room for
| a second unit on the ground originally
selected, without making a very radic-
{ al change in their standard plan of
! construction to provide a northern
APPLICATION COUPON:
managers secured an extension of the
option for the ground to allow the
general manager, J. G. Brown, time
their plans and recommendations.
“The writer has been in touch with
the management all along, and as
late as Wednesday of this week was
assured by Mr. Hill, assistant secre-
tary, that the company fully expect
to locate in Bellefonte, and that the
cause of the delay is as above stated;
that the Eagle company is much
pleased with the outlook for a suc-
cessful business at Bellefonte; that
they have been much impressed with
speedy work of the business men of
Bellefonte in helping them to get
their requirement. Zu
“The rumors referred to have had
the effect of slowing up to some ex-
tent requests on the labor coupons for
positions. Public attention is here
called to the fact that these coupons
will be published from time to time in
the Bellefonte papers. They should
out delay to Charles Schlow, secre-
tary of the Business Men's associa-
tion, Bellefonte. All applications will
be considered in the order in which
they are received, so get yours in ear-
iy.”

Clayt Brown Takes Management of
the Opera House.
T. Clayton Brown, so well known
in Bellefonte as the enterpris-
ing manager of the Scenic theatre,
took possession of the Garman opera
house on Monday under the terms of
his three year lease. He has been at
work this week making some of the
most needful improvements and
changes and anticipates continuing
the work until he gets the building
fixed to his liking. The first regular
Show that will appear there under his
management will be Pollyanna, next

T
Ferguson township farmer but “who
' the past twelve years has operated a
; D. Seibert Machine Shop.
Practically all of his time being
! manager James D. Seibert on Tues-
' day morning sold his machine shop on
' Railroad ‘street to his nephew, Clyde
' Swartz, of Walker township. Mr.
Swartz learned his trade with Mr.
: Seibert and has been his able assist-
"ant for some years. He is an expert
! workman in both general machine and
' automobile work and will no doubt
' keep the reputation of the shop up to
.its former high standard.
Mr. Swartz is a fair specimen of
what any young man can make of
himself by the right kind of stick-to-
itiveness and generalizing in all kinds
of machine work. Instead of keeping
to just one line of work he learned
the business from the floor up and the
“result is he is now able to take over
| the plant and conduct it for himself.
| And having learned the work under
Mr. Seibert is something very much
to his credit. :
As evidence of the latter assertion
, take Mr. Swartz’s brother Guy, who
‘also learned his trade with Mr. Sei-
bert. He is now superintendent of a
large factory in Cleveland, Ohio, and
{drawing a salary of $8,000 a year.
James Markle, another of Mr. Sei-
i bert’s old apprentices, now holds a
splendid position with the Westing-
. house company at a large salary. And
! still another one is Russell Gray, who
| used to live on Molasses Hill, near
! Milesburg. He learned his trade with
Mr. Seibert and now is superintend-
"ent of the Timkin Axle factory at De-
i troit, Mich.
All these are very good examples
of what a young man can make of
himself in any line of work if he has
. the patience and persistence to stick
until he has thoroughly mastered his
trade. But he must master it in all
its details and not specialize in just
one thing.

Robinson has been engaged in farm-

to Centre county with practical as

Bellefonte this week to consult with
Mr. Olmstead in regard to the work
in Centre county.
Luther Smith has purchased
from the heirs the Alexander farm on
the side of the mountain above Sun-
nyside and will take possession on
April first. The farm was the prop-
erty ‘of the son and daughter of Mr.
Elmer C. Straub, and had been farm-
ed by Mr. Straub since Mr. Alexan-
der’s death. The sale to Mr. Smith
included the farm and all of Mr.
Straub’s stock and farming imple-
ments. The purchase price was six
thousand dollars. When Mr. Smith
takes possession of the farm on April
first Mr. Straub and family will move
into the home in Bellefonte vacated
by the Smiths.
W. Frank Bradford, station
agent at Centre Hall, has been off du-
ty the past several weeks on account
of sickness but is now improving and
has hopes of soon again being on the
job. Mr. Bradford has been station
agent at Centre Hall for thirty-six
years, or ever since the opening of
the Lewisburg and Tyrone railroad to
that place, and this is the first time he
was off duty on account of illness. In
fact his railroad career antedates his
service at Centre Hall as he was
agent at Paddy Mountain when the
eastern end of the Lewisburg and Ty-
rone road was opened from Montan-
don to Spring Mills.
Mr. H. N. Meyer, former clerk
to the County Commissioners, has
severed his connection with the Kra-
der Motor company and accepted the
position of district agent for the Mu-
tual Life Insurance company, of New
York. Prior to accepting the appoint-
ment as commissioner’s clerk Mr.
Meyer was an agent for the Mutual
Life and the offer they now made
him was such an advantageous one
that he could not turn it down. His
district comprises a number of coun-
ties in this section of the State and
while he will be obliged to do consid-
erable traveling around he will con-
tinue to make Bellefonte his home.

——A representative of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad company was in Belle-
fonte on Monday and with the assist-
ance of a man deputized from the
postoffice by postmaster P. H. Gher-
rity again measured the distance be-
tween the postoffice and the railroad
depot in order to ascertain just who is
responsible for the delivery of the
mail between the railroad and the
postoffice. But the measurement
showed practically no difference in
the distance from the several times it
was measured previous to this, and no
amount of figuring has yet been able
to change the fact that it is up to the
railroad company to transport the
mail.

ing made because Mr. Smith pur- |
household furniture also figure in
pretty high prices. A careful compu-
| tation, therefore, will show that in
the neighborhood of a half million
dollar's worth of farming property
will change hands on or before the
first of April. Just how much of this
big amount will be in cash is of course
unknown, but it is quite probable that
not less than one-third of it will be
cash in hand and the balance in the
customary sale notes. From this it
will be seen that there will be consid-
erable changing around in bank ac-
counts, but at that it will mostly be
a matter of book-keeping.
