——A very neat iron picket fence
was put up this week on the concrete
base wall along the Howard street
side of the Humes property.
——Tuesday afternoon’s rain was
pretty general over Centre county and
was just what was needed for the corn '
and potatoes, as well as gardens.
——A new passenger carrying au-
tomobile has been put into service be- ;
tween Bellefonte and Snow Shoe,
making two round trips each day.
—County Commissioner George
H. Yarnell was taken suddenly ill on
Monday and has been confined to bed |

——At a special election held last
Thursday residents of Philipsburg
voted to increase the borough indebt-
edness $42,000 for highway construc-

lation of a fire alarm system. The
i
i
vote was 626 votes for the increase to
119 against.
——On Friday, August 5th, bids
will be opened by the State Highway
Department at Harrisburg for approx-
imately sixty miles of new state high-
i
‘way. Included in the list is 5,804 feet
on ro..e R-107 through Philipsburg
borough, which is to be one course re- |
——Any person in the market for
the purchase of a good, second hand !
automobile should consult the adver-
tisement of the Cadillac Sales Co. in
this issue of the “Watchman.” Var-
ious makes and styles of cars will be
sold at the company’s headquarters in
Altoona during the ensuing ten days.
——The concert by the boys’ band
from the Loysville orphan’s home, in
front of the High school building on
‘Monday evening, drew a crowd esti-
‘mated at from fifteen hundred to two
thousand people, and proved a music-
al treat to all. The collection lifted
for the benefit of the home amounted
to $201.00. The band went from here
to Philipsburg, where it gave a con-
cert on Tuesday night.
——The hot and dry weather has
played havoc with the berry crops and
blackberries and huckleberries which
gave such great promise early in the
seasbn are unusually scarce. Last
Friday four men spent a half day on
the Allegheny mountains in search of
huckleberries and were successful in
getting but a quart each. Blackber-
ries are not only few in number but
small in size and bitter to the taste.
——While Bellefonte does not have
a public park with various amuse-
ments for the entertainment of the
public the town is fortunate in having
one of the best motion picture shows
in the State, in the Scenic. Of course,
everybody in Bellefonte knows this
fact and strangers in town for the
night cannot find any better place of
entertainment than at the Scenic,
watching the motion pictures. Big
programs every night.
——A competitive civil service ex-
amination will be held at State Col-;
lege on Wednesday, August 3rd, for

ble to appointment. - Blanks and oth-
er information may be secured at the
postoffice at State College.
——Two inspectors from the State
were in
Bellefonte yesterday inspecting Spring
creek for any impurities which might
be dangerous to fish life. They dis-
covered that the stream is being made
a dumping place for various liquids
that are not good for the fish and will
so report the matter to fish commis-
sioner N. R. Buller with the result
that official action will be taken to
keep the water in the stream as pure
as possible.
——Frank M. Derstine, a son of Mr.
and Mrs. W. H. Derstine, of Belle-
fonte, and who has made his home in
Juniata for some years past, is in the
field as a candidate for tax collector
of that borough. Frank has served
several years as borough councilman,
which is a thankless job at its best,
and is now after one that will afford
a fair remuneration for the services
rendered. The citizens of Juniata,
we'll wager, cannot find a better man
for such an important office than Mr.
Derstine.
— The state police in Bellefonte
received a call last Friday to be on the
lookout for a small band of gypsies
who stole ten dollars from a Mr. Woo-
Bald Eagle valley. They were trav-
eling in autos and the police went out
as far as Snow Shoe Intersection
where they intercepted the caravan.
They were held there until the arrival
of Earl Woomer and were then taken
back to Vail, where they restored the
money and decided to leave for other

Method of Paying for Same. :
At Monday evening's session of bor-
ough council the Fire and Police com-
mittee, through chairman Flack, rec-
ommended the purchase of two White
triple pumpers, which in the commit-
tee’s opinion are the most adaptable
fire fighting machines for a town like
Bellefonte, but action was deferred
until next meeting pending further
inquiries into exact terms of sale and
method of payment.
Notwithstanding the fact that there
had not been a meeting of council in
six weeks only six members were
present at Monday evening’s meeting,
the absentees being Messrs. Beezer,
Harris and Richard. A petition was
received from twenty residents of the
South ward asking that a curb and
gutter be built along the south side of
Bishop street from Blanchard street
| to the Catholic cemetery to care for
the surface water in time of heavy
storms.” The matter was referred to
the Street committee.
Mrs. Martha Thomas asked to be
exonerated of $8.00 water tax assessed
against her coal yard on the grounds
that she had no water facilities. Re-
ferred to the Water committee.
Chief fire marshall John J. Bower
in which he stated that during that
time the department had responded to
ough and one outside. Forty per cent.
of the alarms were major fires. The
property loss in the borough as the
result of the fires was $75,400 and the
loss on the one fire outside the bor- |
ough (the Titan Metal company) was
given as $175,000. The department
now has on hand 1850 feet of service-
able hose of which amount 600 feet |
has been purchased within six months
and 600 feet is only about three years
old. The chief further recommended
the formulating and passing of an or-
dinance for the regulation and control
of the department during fires and al- |
so prescribing fire limits for the pub-
lic at large. The matter was refer-
red to the Fire and Police committee.
The Street committee presentd the
report of the borough manager show-
ing the work done since the last meet-
ing of borough council, and also the
receipt of $30.00 for sewer permits.’
The Water committee reported the
breaking of the pump at the Phoenix
mill pumping plant and that new
parts, which will cost $360, have been
ordered and should be here soon. The
committee also reported the collection
of $37.50 on the 1919 water tax dupli-
cate and that the water meter bills for
the quarter ending July first, amount-
ing to $1162.68, are ready for collec-
tion. The committee also requested
water appeal.
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported the burgess’ check for $41.50
for fines and licenses collected.
The Finance committee asked for
the renewal of notes for $500, $2,500,
$2,000, $1,100, $1,000, $600, $500 and
$2,000, and a new note for $1,000, all
of which were authorized. The com- !
mittee also recommended that the
millage for the year 1921 be fixed the
same as last year, 10 mills for street |
purposes, 5 for borough and 5 for in-
terest. President Walker questioned
| the fact that the millage would be suf-
ficient to meet all the financial obliga-
tions of the borough in view of the
contemplated purchase of two triple
pumpers, and was of the opinion that
the borough tax ought to be increased
to 10 mills. Mr. Fauble, of the Fi-
nance committee, stated that he didn”
believe it would be necessary. He
stated that while up to the present
time there had been no very great in-
flux of delinquent taxes as the result
' of the resolution passed at the last
"meeting of council he considered that
the resolution was not intended as a
joke and the Finance committee ex-
pected to take the necessary steps
when the time limit expires to enforce
| payment of all delinquent taxes by the
collector. He also called attention to
the fact that there is in the neigh-
borhood of $14,000 due the borough
from property owners for the build-
ing of the state road on Bishop, Spring
and Pine streets, and he made a mo-
tion that the borough manager be in-
structed to proceed at once to secure
the necessary data from which to
make out the bills for same and that
they be turned over to the borough
treasurer for collection. The motion
passed, but the question of fixing the
millage for 1921 was held over until
the next meeting.
President Walker inquired as to the
condition of the two steamers of the
fire department and the Fire and Po-
lice committee reported the Undine
steamer in good shape and the Lo-
gan’s all right with the exception of
one leaky flue. The committee was in-
structed to see that the flue was re-
paired at once.
The borough manager stated that
Mr. Stackpole, of the State Highway
Department, had made complaint
about the way residents along the re-
cently oiled streets sprinkle said
streets. They literally soak them
with water and that has a tendency to
decompose the oil and will take the
life out of it in a short time. The
borough manager also eomplained
about the peopie on High street soak-
ing that street to such an extent that
unless it is stopped the street will be
full of holes before the oil is secured
for the top dressing. Mr. Cunning-
ham, of the Water committee, advo-
cated the passing of an ordinance
governing the sprinkling of streets,
and the matter was referred to the
Street committee.
It was at this juncture that Mr.
Flack, of the Fire and Police commit-
tee, recommended the purchase of two
600 gallon White triple pumpers, the
“waren ruweERs.
0 for two. He also presented
‘written ‘agreement of the terms of
matter was LA ‘back to the com-
mittee and action deferred until next
meeting night. :
With the approval of the bills coun-
cil adjourned.

——The farm implement dealers
of Pennsylvania are planning to visit
The Pennsylvania State College for an
inspection trip of the entire plant on
Thursday and Friday, July 28th and
29th. There are over 800 dealers in
the State, members of the Eastern
Farm Implement Dealers’ association,
and most of them are planning for the
trip which will be made by auto from
all parts of the State. The associa-
tion officers suggested and will man-
age the trip.
——Various reports have been cir-
culated about Bellefonte during the
week in effect that Frederic Schad
had been very seriously injured in an
automobile accident near Lock Haven
on Wednesday evening of last week,
some of the reports even crediting him
with having both legs broken. As a
matter of fact the young man was in
an accident which occurred on the
| streets of Lock Haven, and sustained

something like twenty feet square in
i the clear and will be sustained by sol-
id concrete walls from top to bottom.
After the shaft has been concreted to
its present depth digging operations
will be resumed until its maximum
depth is reached. The company in
! charge of the work is pushing opera-
| tions day and night, in three eight
hour shifts, so as to get the shaft
completed and drifts started at as ear-
ly a date as possible.
| ——A bad smashup occurred on the
| Snow Shoe mountain road on Sunday
| between the car of Oscar Johnson, of
{ Winburne, and the Harris Claster car
of Lock Haven. The Johnson car was
coming down the mountain and had
: just reached the narrow piece of road
this side of the Reese Settlement
when it met the Claster car going up
on z sharp curve. It was impossible
for either driver to stop his car or get
out of the way and as a result there
was a head on collision. The Johnson
car was so badly wrecked that it was
hauled into the Wion garage on a big
_army truck. Two women were thrown
‘out of the car but fortunately ho one
was seriously injured. The Claster
car was damaged to some extent, but
not nearly so bad as the Johnson car.
Six people from the neighbor-
{hood of Unionville have been recent
| victim$ of typhoid fever and as most
of the cases
. weeks or more ago the people of that
. locality became alarmed and sent in a
i call to the State Board of Health for
‘the services of an inspector to deter-
| mine the source of the infection in
time to prevent the disease becoming
| epidemic. Frotunately the source
| was not hard to discover and proved
i to be at the Holt camp on Bald Eagle
| mountain where all the refuse from
i the kitchen had been dumped at a
| place that permitted it to drain into
| the water supply. Those who have
| been sick with the disease are a Mr.
and Mrs. Spotts, Mrs. Lucas, Mr.
Holt, Mr. Tice and Mr. Stine.
source of the infection being cleaned
out there is no further apprehension.
Residents of State College are
lup in arms against the cut in passen-
railroad company, as they consider it
a distinct knock at the advancement
of that town. The worst feature so
far as the business men of the College
is concerned is in the mail service.
The railroad company has the con-
tract for carrying the mail between
Bellefonte and the College and now
the latter town is facing only a three
day a week service over this route.
Of course the College postoffice sends
out mail by way of the Lewisburg
and Tyrone railroad but that mail
closes at the College office at 3 o’clock
p. m., whereas mail for Bellefonte
over the Bellefonte Central does not
close until 8:30. An effort has been
made to secure permission of the
Postoffice Department to send a pouch
to Bellefonte on the six o’clock bus
but so far no progress has been made
in that direction.
——Bellefonters recall the fact that
late Saturday afternoon, July 2nd, six
aeroplanes passed over Bellefonte on
their way to western cities with pic-
tures of the Dempsey-Carpentier
fight, and one of the planes, driven
by pilot Jack Knight, sat down in an
oats field near Roaring Spring, Blair
county. The plane was bound for
Chicago and when the pilot attempted
to take to the air he crashed into a
fence and broke his propellers. He
then abandoned the ship and took the
pictures to Chicago by train, but he
lost the $1000 offered to the man who
‘got the first pictures in the Windy
city. When Knight returned to Roar-
ing Spring to get his plane out the
farmer soaked him $100 for damage
to his oats and for guarding the ship.
He also had to pay for shipping the
plane to the Bellefonte field for re-
pairs, and as it was a government
plane being used in a private enter-
prise ke may have to pay the cost of
repairs.

ig Auto Accident.
¥ Reuben Walizer, a well known car-
_penter of Julian, was instantly killed
ing when his automobile overturned
on the Bald Eagle valley road a short
‘ distance east of Port Matilda. Mr.
Walizer was working at his trade in
{ Philipsburg for contractor Harry Fra-
vil and every day went to that place
in the morning and home in the even-
ing, as he also has a little store at
' Julian which his family took care of
“during the day and he helped in it in
‘the evening.
On Monday evening he left Philips-
burg at his usual time, stopping at the
' garage at Port Matilda a few minutes.
' Intending to come to Bellefonte he was
' driving pretty fast after he left Port
| Matilda and going down a grade he
ran into a bank to the side of the road
and upset, the car falling upon him.
A boy on a bicycle was just ahead of
him and hearing the crash wheeled
back to see what had happened. Find-
‘ing the wrecked car he hastily sum-
moned help and Mr. Walizer was re-
moved from under the wreck, but he
was dead when taken out. His neck
was broken and he was cut on the
head and face. Both wheels on the
right side of the car were broken,
but it is not known whether they were
broken in the wreck or whether they
collapsed before and were the cause
of the wreck. ‘
Walizer was about forty-five years
old and is survived by his wife and
seven children. The funeral was held
yesterday afternoon, burial being
made in the Fairview cemetery.
Bellefonte Young Man Still Going Up.
Effective July 15th, J. Harvey Mec-
Clure, son of Mr. and Mrs. James I.
McClure, of Bellefonte, was placed in
supreme charge of the Indiana, Co-
lumbus and Eastern Traction compa-
ny, with head offices at Cleveland,
Ohio, and an advance in salary from
$10,000 to $15,000 a year. He will
have complete direction over the Day-
ton and Union City division, the Day-
ton and Columbus division, the Colum-
bus and Orient division, the Lima and
Springfield division and the Lima and
Defiance division of the above system,
and will have operating control of the
Columbus and Zanesville division, the
Newark and Granville, the Zanesville
City Railway company and the Zanes-
ville Light and Power company.
It will be recalled by readers of the
“Watchman” that two or three years
ago Mr. McClure was transferred
from Oil City to Lima, Ohio, where he
was made general manager of a por-
tion of the above system. About a
year ago the entire system went into
the hands of a receiver and Mr. Mec-

He has evidently been able to untan-
gle the financial difficulties of the com-
pany which no doubt led to his recent
promotion. The young man is only
thirty-eight years of age and the suc-
cess he has attained in his chosen field
of endeavor is really remarkable.
May he continue going up as the
years roll around.

——The exceedingly hot weather
which prevailed during the last week
in June and first half of July was hard
on animal life and almost unendura-
ble by sweltering humanity, but it
was great corn weather. In fact the
corn fields in Centre county never
looked better than they do this year
and with a favorable fall season the
crop should be a bumper one.
