Garage and Restaurant Burned Down
at Spring Mills.
The garage owned by Harold
Meyers, located in the P. J. Decker
building, and the B. J. Hackenberg
restaurant,’ in an adjoining building
owned by the Spring Mills Milling
company, were completely destroyed
by fire, on Tuesday afternoon of last
week, entailing a loss of twelve thou-
sand dollars, only partially covered
by insurance. Eight cars in the gar-
age were burned as well as all the
tools and supplies. Mr. Meyers and
his two employees, John Goodhart and
Guy Jamison, were burned on the
face and hands in attempting to save
the books and valuable papers from
the fire.
The fire is believed to have origin-
ated from a blow torch one of the
workmen was using in making repairs
on a car and so rapidly did the flames
spread that it was impossible to save
anything. An appeal was sent to
Bellefonte for help and the Logans
responded. They did not arrive in
time to save the burning property but
were able to keep the flames from
spreading.
Will the Road be Built, or Will it Not.
Residents of Lemont had their hopes
buoyed up, last week, when telegrams
were received there announcing that
the much-discussed cutoff to State
College will not be built, and natur-
ally they are wondering how much de-
pendence to place in the announce-
ment. :
Once before they had the assurance
that the road cutting off that town
would not be built, then two weeks
ago highway commissioner James L.
Stuart announced definitely that it
would be. Just a week later along
come the telegrams announcing that
it will not be, and it is no wonder the
people of Lemont are guessing. It
is the general opinion that the last
anncuncement has considerable poli-
tical significance in connection with
the judgeship fight in Centre county,
and if such is the case, the Highway
Department, et al, may undergo an-
other change of mind after the prim-
aries.
—Incidentally, to those of our
readers who recall our having made
mention of cleaning a space on the
desk for checks that might come in
during our absence on the annual fish-
ing expedition we have this bit of
heart rending news. A Grimm gen-
tleman, from up at North Tonawanda,
N. Y., was the only subscriber who
saw anything facetious or suggestive
in the paragraph and responded to it.
——The fourth annual reunion of

Trolley Company Granted Decree of |
Dissolution.
At a special session of court, on
Tuesday afternoon George W. Zeigler
Esq., of Philipsburg, formally pre-
sented the petition of the Centre and
Clearfield Street Railway company, of
Philipsburg, for a dissolution of its
charter ‘and no protest having been
filed thereto the decree was promptly
signed by Judge Furst. This legally
absolves the railway company from
any further continuance of trolley
service between Philipsburg and Win-
burne and it is likely the last run will
be made in the very near future. Ap-
plication has been made to the Public
Service Commission by the Philips-
burg Motorbus company for a certif-
icate of public convenience to operate
a motor bus line through the terri-
tory covered by the trolley company.
Judge Furst also disposed of the
case of George Bartko, of Rush town-
ship, who plead guilty to violation of
the liquor law, by imposing a fine of
$250, costs of prosecution and six
months in the county jail. This was
Bartko’s second offense.

To Drill for Potash in Centre County.
A dispatch from Washington, sev-
eral days ago, announced that the
United States bureau of mines had
warded a contract to the United
States Drilling company, of Pitts-
burgh, to put down a test well for
potash in Centre county, and that
drilling would Be started within three
weeks. The editor of the Watchman
has endeavored to learn where the
well will be put down but without
success. Local geologists cannot con-
ceive where there might be a possi-
bility of a deposit of potash in this
section of the State, as there are no
rock formations to indicate anything
of the kind. However, the United
States bureau of mines may have
superior knowledge in this respect and
the only thing to do is await develop-
ments. One thing is certain, if a
good deposit of potash should be
found in this county it would mean
something to the property owner and
the neighborhood in which it is locat-
ed.

gotiating for the purchase of the

They used to tell a story of Newton
Baker. During the war he had to
make a hurried trip to Cleveland and
took an ordinary berth in the pullman
car. After the train left Washington
he went into the smoking room and
gome one said to him:
“I should think that you, being sec-
retary of war, would be afraid to
travel in go public a style. Aren’t you
afraid some one might try to do harm
to you?”
Mr. Baker looked up and said:
“Why, no one in the world would look
at a little fellow like me and think
he was secretary of war!”—1Los An-
geles Times.
Small Cobbler’s Shop
Pat Kenny, a cobbler, claims to
work in the smallest and strangest
shop in the world.
Situated under a railway arch in
Bermondsey, London, the tiny shop
is only 4 feet square. It is entered
from the pavement by a door less than
5 feet high and Kenny sits at his cob-
bling in the center of the masonry.
“Trains roar over my head,” said
Kenny, “traffic rattles through the
arch, footsteps echo all around, but I
just go on mending boots and shoes
as if I were back in a dugout in
France.”
Redwood Export Gains
Exports of California redwood lum:
ber from the United States increased
| from 46,000,000 feet in 1925 to 47,800,
000 feet in 1926, although the value of
the exports dropped from slightly
more than $3,000,000 to about $2,600,-
000. Australia, the largest market for
this commodity, took 69 per cent of
the exports.
Because of its durability, a number
of South American countries use rerfi-
wood for railroad ties. Among these
are Peru, Salvador and Mexico. In
Australia and New Zealand redwood
is used mostly for millwork and finigl..
