Horseshoe Trail Enthusiasts Meet in
Bellefonte.
Just sixty-seven members of the
Horseshoe Trail association from Al-
toona, Hollidaysburg, Tyrone, Wil-
liamsport, Lock Haven, State College
and Bellefonte were guests of landlord
Lewis Daggett, at the Bush house, for
luncheon last Friday, and from the
liberal menu served it looked as if the
genial landlord was under the impres-
sion that the lunch was the big part
of the meeting, but such did not prove
to be the case, as the association was
in session until four o’clock.
The business meeting was presided
over by George D. Worthington, pres-
ident of the association, while W. Paul
Schenck, secretary, reported that the
horseshoe trail markers are now being
put up along the trail. The markers
are not deemed sufficiently conspicu-
ous, and it was decided to deepen the
color and also omit the horsehoe nails,
used as arrows. Owing to the fact
that there are no telephone poles
along the state highway between
Pleasant Gap and Lemont it was de-
cided to have posts erected every 110
feet on which to place the markers.
Mr. Schenck estimated that the entire
cost of the markers would approxi-
mate two thousand dollars.
Robert F. Hunter, chairman of the
Bellefonte committee, suggested “The
Good Luck Trail” as a slogan for the
association and it was adopted. Lapel
buttons bearing the horseshoe insig-
nia were decided upon as a member-
ship talisman. The choice of radiator
emblems and a suitable booklet de-
scriptive of the scenic beauties of the
trail were held over until the next
meeting. Report was made that the
latest edition of 25,000 maps of the
Atlantic States travel guide contains
the Horseshoe Trail well defined from
Williamsport to Cumberland.
The present aim of the association
is to secure a membership of at least
1600, the quotas having been allotted
as follows: Williamsport, 300; Lock |
Haven, 100; Bellefonte, 100; State
College, 100; Tyrone, 100; Altoona,
500; Hollidaysburg, 100; Bedford, 100,
and Cumberland, 200. So far none of
the towns have filled their quota,
though the various committees will
make an cffort to do so as rapidly as
possible. The membership fee is five
dollars.
Every member present was very en-
thusiastic over the advantages of the
new trail. It is almost a direct route
from Williamsport to Cumberland and
inasmuch as the larger part of it is
already either state or improved high-
ways it offers special inducements for
automobilists and the sight-seeing
public. Steps will be taken as soon as
possible to have every foot of the trail
converted into a substantial state
highway through the co-operation of
the State and various good roads as-
sociations. !
Some very interesting talks were
made during the meeting by Daniel
Slep, J. E. Brumbaugh, D. J. Howard
and A. O. Vorse, of Altoona; E. K.
Hibshman and J. P. Aikens, of State
College; Assemblyman Thomas Bea-
ver and James R. Hughes, of Belle-
fonte. Naturally members of the as-
sociation from every town along the
trail are endeavoring to put forth
their home locality as the pivotal point
of interest, but no place between Wil-
liamsport and Cumberland can boast
of such a sight as the visitors wit-
nessed last Friday when they looked
at the big trout in Spring creek, right
in the heart of Bellefonte.
A Costly Echo of a Drowning Tragedy
The Supreme court last week affirm-
ed the findings of the common pleas
court of Mifflin county in awarding
damages totalling almost $9,000 to
Mrs. Martha Corbin, widow of Cloyd
Corbin, who lost his life when a flat
boat capsized on the Juniata river on
May 10th, 1919, and seven men lost
their lives. The action was against
the Haws Refractories company, a
subsidiary of the General Refractories
company. Among those who were
drowned were Clair Miller, superin-
tendent of the Silica Brick company,
at Port Matilda.
The unfortunate men were guests
of the Haws Refractories company on
a tour of inspection of their plant at
Hawstone, and to reach it had to ferry
across the Juniata river on flat boats.
The water was high and the boat cap-
sized. Relatives of all the men who
were drowned instituted proceedings
to recover damages but only one case
was tried and now that the Supreme
court has affirmed the judgment of the
Tower court in the above case the com-
pany will likely endeavor to settle the
other claims against it.
HOUSER.—Emanuel Houser, a life-
long resident of College township,
died at his home at Houserville at 2:45
o’clock on Tuesday afternoon after
two week’s illness with pneumonia.
He was a son of Frederick and Sa-
rah Fye Houser and was born at Hou-
serville on December 9th, 1861, mak-
ing his age 61 years, 4 months and &
days. His boyhood and youth were
spent on his father’s farm but when
he grew to manhood he opened a gen-
eral mercantiie store at Houserville
which he conducted from 1887 to 1909,
during most of which time he had
charge of the postoffice at that place,
which was in his store. After dis-
posing of his mercantile business he
worked as a carpenter and also held
the office of road supervisor for Col-
lege township. He was a member of
the Reformed church and a man uni-
versally esteemed by all who knew
him.
In 1886 he was united in marriage
to Miss Lillie May Resides who sur-
vives with two children, Frederick K.
Houser, of Bellefonte, and Mrs. R. A.
Hoy, of Wilkinsburg. Two children,
Luther A. and Luella Elmira preced-
ed him to the grave. He also leaves
a foster daughter, Mrs. Hennigh, of
Perkasie, and one brother, Daniel F.
Houser, of Bellefonte.
Funeral services were held in the
church at Houserville yesterday morn-
ing by Rev. S. C. Stover, after which
burial was made in the Houserville
cemetery.

GILLILAND. — The death last
Thursday of Miss Catherine Gilliland,
eldest daughter of Joseph and Edna
Gilliland, at their home near Rock
Springs, is the cause of deep and sin-
cere regret among her many friends.
Ten days previous she contracted the
measles and later pneumonia develop-
ed which was the direct cause of her
death.
She was only eighteen years old and
had just recently graduated with hon-
ors at the Mooresville high school.
Possessed of a bright and sunshiny
nature she had made many friends in
the short time the family lived in the
Glades and her untimely death is
mourned by all. She was a member of
the Presbyterian church and Sunday
school and always a faithful attend-
ant.
Funeral services were held at the
Gilliland home at 12:30 o'clock on
Monday by Rev. Shaffer, assisted by
Rev. Fasick, after which the remains
were taken to Mooresville where they
were laid to rest in the cemetery at
that place.

being blamed for the very unsports-

A Big Feature Show.
Next Tuesday evening, April 24th,
the people of Bellefonte and vicinity
will have an opportunity of witness-
ing what the advance notices claim as
a colossal musical and beauty show in
the production of “Eve” at the opera
house. The leading role will be taken
by the famous beauty and New York
musical star, Nyra Brown, who will
be supported by Johnny Getz, the
monkey man. Other features will be
the harmony quartette, LaZaskia, the
premier dancer, a flirtation walk, the
electric mirror ball and the bubble ef-
fect. The scenic effects are charac-
terized as magnificent.

Closed to Fishing.
Considerable excitement
was oc-
'a rope ladder, scaled the high wall be-
low the High street bridge and re-
of coaxing the big trout down to their
fishing grounds by feeding them ham-
burg steak. Quite a number of Belle-
fonters who have religiously protect-
led the big trout in the past became
{very indignant over the actions of the
i three men, and promptly communicat-
led with fish commissioner Nathan R.
| Buller who at once closed to all fish-
ing that additional portion of Spring
creek between the High street bridge
and the foot bridge over the creek to
the silk mill. Notices to this effect
were posted yesterday.
While the exact identity of the
strange fishermen has not been deter-
mined, one of them, at least, is be-
lieved to have been Joe Umholtz, of
Tyrone, as that is the name that was
on the license he exhibited to game
warden Moshier. It is highly proba-
ble that the other two men are his
brothers, Ray and Walter, as accord-
ing to word from Tyrone the three men
were awarded prizes in that town for
catching the largest trout on the open-
ing day.

as entered upon his third year as pres-

Edinburgh. At each, apparently won-
derful to the Scotchman who was act-
ing as my guide, I guess I scoffed.
Finally, as the sun was going down,
he took me to the brow of a hill and
pointed to three smokestacks, belch-
ing forth smoke.
“That's nothing compared to what
we have in Pittsburgh, or Gary, In my
down state, or any number of cities in
the United States, Douglas,’ I said.
“Ah, my friend,’ he said, “those are
the smokestacks of three breweries.”
Cardboard Lighthouse,
On the beach of southern California,
says Ship News (San Francisco), is
a lighthouse made of cardboard. There
fs not a stone or a girder of steel
in it.
“To look at it from a distance, or
even close up, one would never sur-
mise that it was made of paper-box
material. It is the only structure of
its kind known. It also performs a
most important service—in making
movies. The torn rock shore on which
it stands has been made picturesque
by it.”

Elevator to Success is Not Running.
Take the Stairs.
It is surprising how often we take
the hardest way to do a thing when
we are looking for the easiest.
Draughtsmen, stenographers, book-
keepers, attorneys and bankers are
usually confined to near work which
is very fatiguing.
They would be surprised how much
better they would feel when the day’s
work is finished if they would wear a
pair of rest glasses fitted by me.
Consultation free. Prices moder-
ate.
