Several New Stretches of Highway
Asked for Centre County.
Both Senator Harry B. Scott and
Representative J. Laird Holmes are
becoming quite active in the matter
of securing additional stretches of
state highway for this section. Rep-
resentative Holmes has introduced a
bill for the construction of a highway
from Millheim, in Pennsvalley, to
Lamar, in Nittany valley, by way of
the Millheim Narrows, through Brush
valley and the Fishing creek gap.
Senator Scott has introduced a bill
to have an improved highway built
from Hublersburg to Jacksonville us a
better connecting link between Nit-
tany and Bald Eagle, and also a bill
to build a highway frem Kylertown to
Allport, Clearfield county. Last sum-
mer, it will be recalled the State let
a contract for the grading and drain.
age of the road from Snow Shoe to
Kylertown and all but about three
miles of that road has been completed,
the State putting on a macadam sur-
face as fast as the road was graded.
A state highway from Kylertown to
Allport would not only give an entire
improved roadway between Bellefonte
and Clearfield but be a more direct
route, about nine miles shorter than
going by way of Snow Shoe and Phil-
ipsburg.
- All the above stretches of roadway
would greatly add to the highway sys-
tem in Centre county and it is hoped
that Messrs. Scott and Holmes will be
able to get their bills through the
Legislature. :
The Governor's election reform
bills were introduced in the Senate on
Wednesday and it is presumed that
with the combined strength of the ad-
ministration and the State oragniza-
tion back of them they will be passed.
While not so far reaching as many had
hoped they would be they are, never-
theless, a long step in the right direc-
tion. The three principal features are
the power to open ballot boxes upon
petition of any five electors of a coun-
ty, the restrictions as to assistance to
voters and the limitations of money
to be spent on primary campaigns.
—-—An Italian aviator has made a
non-stop flight across the Atlantic. He
took off from the Cape Veide Is-
lands and reached the coast of Bra-
zil, his destination, but could not make
a landing there because of high seas.
This forced him to return to the island
of Fernando Noronha, two hundred
and seventy miles off the Brazilian
coast. Just another step toward the
time when non-stop flights across the
ocean will be as common as those on
the trans-continental air mail route
today .
——In Philadelphia they used the
water to flush the snow off many of
the streets. While it was soft and
slushy on Monday and Tuesday the
fire department turned out and was
very successful in reducing the snow
to water washing it into the sewers.
That might be worth trying in certain
! sections of Bellefonte.

GLENN.—Reuben Meek Glenn, a
descendant of two of the oldest fam-
ilies in Ferguson township, died at five
o’clock on Sunday morning at Borger,
Texas, where he had been living the
past six months. His death was the
result of an attack of septic pericar-
ditis after an illness of two weeks. His
brother, Dr. Thomas Glenn, of Brad-
ford, was with him when he passed
away.
A son of Ephriam and Elizabeth
Meek Glenn he was born at Howard
about fifty-five years ago. When a
child his parents moved to Rock and
from there to Buffalo Run valley
where he grew to manhood. In addi-
tion to attending the public schools of
Benner township he continued his
education at the Bellefonte Academy.
As a young man he went to State
College and for a few years had
charge of the College hardware store.
From State College he went to Brad-
ford and started work as an oil driller.
He had been there only a short time
when the oil boom broke at Tulsa,
Oklahoma, and in company with a
number of other men from Bradford
went to the new Eldorado and got
on the ground when there was great
demand for his services, with the re-
sult that he became quite successful.
When oil was discovered in Texas he
transferred his operations to that
State. About a year ago a find was
made at Borger, which is almost on
the Mexican line, and Mr. Glenn went
there six months or more ago to con-
tinue his drilling operations in what is
proving one of the biggest oil fields in
the country. A year ago the territory
was a barren waste and today Borger
is a city of forty thousand.
While on the Glenn farm near Briar-
ly Mr. Glenn married Miss Mary
Strouse, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Strouse. She passed away twen-
ty or more years ago but surviving him
are three children, Charles Glenn, of
Brownsville, Texas; Joseph, of State
College, and Miss Edna, of Tulsa,
Oklahoma. He also leaves three
brothers, Dr. William 8S. Glenn, of
State College; Dempster L. Glenn, of
Erie, and Dr. Thomas Glenn, of Brad-
ford. He was a member of the Metho-
dist church and Bellefonte lodge F.
and A, M,
The remains were brought east, ar-
riving at State College on Wednesday
afternoon. Brief services were held
at the home of his son Joseph at two
o'clock yesterday afternoon by Rev.
Mackie, of the Methodist church, final
services being held in the church at
Pine Hall at 2.30 o'clock. Burial was
made by the side of his wife in Pine
Hall cemetery.

GRAUER—Louis J. Grauer, for the
past forty years or more a well known
business man of Bellefonte, passed
away at the family apartment in the
Lyon & Co. block, on Allegheny street,
on Monday morning, as the result of
an attack of angina pectoris, follow-
ing an illness of several years.
He was a son of Ignatius and Rosalie
Yokesburg Grauer and was born in
Baltimore on January 21st, 1854, |
‘ried Miss Emma Gelina Tobin, who |
hence had reached the age of 73 years
1 month and 1 day. His early life was
spent in the city of his birth where he
was employed as a clerk in a large
dry goods establishment. He first
came to Bellefonte to visit his sister,
Mrs. Adolph Loeb, and through his ac-
casional trips here formed many ac-
quaintances which led to his taking up
his permanent residence here forty or
more years ago. On April 29th, 1895, |
he married Miss Tillie Lyon and ever
since had been associated with the
management of the Lyon & Co. store.
In addition to his business interests
there he supported any movement that
he believed would in any way advance
' the welfare of Bellefonte.
His survivors include his wife and
two children, Edward, of Philadelphig,
and Mrs. Gideon Payne, of Bellefonte.
He also leaves two sisters, Mrs.
Adolph Loeb, of Chicago, and Mrs.
Joseph Bauland, of New York city.
Funeral services were held at his
late home at three o’clock on Wednes-
day afternoon by Rabbi Mattenbauin,
of Williamsport, burial being made in
the Jewish cemetery.
He was a member of the Bellefonte
lodge B. P. 0. E. and its members at-
tended the funeral in a body. An-
other evidence of the esteem in which
he was held was the closing of the
stores of the town during the service
and interment.

home at State College, last Wednes-
day night, following an illness of some

known families in Pennsvalley, died at
his home at State College last Thurs-

Sarah Raymond Foreman and was
born in Gregg township on August
8th, 1850, hence was 76 years, 6

ty. For 39 years he taught school
during the winter season and worked
on the farm during the summer
months. Eventually he gave up teach-
ing and purchased a farm near Gregg
station where helived a num-
be of years, but he never lost

farm and moved to State College and
soon thereafter he was employed as
janitor at the grades school building,
a position he held until his death. Mr.

Reformed church and also a staunch
Democrat. He was a splendid citizen
and hundreds of men and women
whom he taught and trained in early
youth regret his passing away.

first wife having been Miss Alice Per-
due. Five children survive as the re-
sult of this union, namely: John Fore-
man, of Cresson; Guy, of Buffalo, N.
Y.; Mrs. Garrett Meyer, of Gregg
