TOWN AND COUNTY.
Wetzler’s Junior band drew
another record-breaking crowd at
their afternoon concert at Hecla park

ering hot in Bellefonte it was quite
comfortable at the park.

The thunder storm that passei
over Half-moon valley, Monday night,
did considerable damage in the vicin-
ity of Paradise, where there was a
veritable cloud-burst. Much fencing
was washed out and several corn
fields so deluged that they looked as
though they had been rolled by a
ponderous machine,
——Miss Bessie A. Miles, vice

NEWS ABOUT
The citizens military training
camp at Fort Monroe closed, on Sun-
day afternoon, and the five hundred
young men who were there started
home. We note that among those rec-
ommended for a prescribed course of
study with a view to preparing for
commissions in the coast artillery re-
serve was Paul L. Haines, of State
College.
Henry T. Noll, Pleasant Gap’s
well known aviator, had a busy time,
Sunday afternoon, taking up sight-
seers at three dollars per five minute
flight. Using the old aviation field,
on the Beaver farm, as a landing
place, he was almost constantly on
the wing from early in the afternoon
until twilight. A five minute flight
included just one circle over Belle-
fonte and back to the field.
Workmen making a general
cleanup at the home of Fred Smith,
ih DuBois, a week or so ago, found a
large tin coffee can secreted in the
rear of the house. On being opened
the can yielded several hundred dol-
lars worth of silverware and other
stuff stolen from a Philipsburg church
over ten years ago. The articles
were easily identified by the engrav-
ing on them and the property will be
returned to the church.
We have lived in Bellefonte
now going on forty-four years aad
have always wondered why the little
street leading from Pine street down
to south Water street was called
“Stony Lonesome.” But we wonder
no longer. After watching the ef-
forts of employees of the Central
Pennsylvania Gas company in dig-
ging a ditch for their pipe line up
that thorofare we are convinced that
no other name would be applicable.
_ —Mrs. Katherine Lane Miller, of
St. Mary’s, who had been a guest cf
Miss Ella Levy at Milesburg for the
greater part of the past month, is a
granddaughter of the Rev. Samuel
Lane, a pioneer Baptist minister, of
Maryland, who settled in Huntingdon
county, then Bedford county in 1774,
and organized a church Aug. 10th,
1775, near Three Springs. In honor of
Mrs. Lane, Miss Levy entertained
eleven descendants of the Rev. Samuel
Lane, the guests from Altoona, Cur-
wensville and Huntingdon, represent-
ing the third, fourth, fifth and sixth
generations. Mrs. Lane, ninety years
young, is the last of her generation.
Mrs. . Samuel Fox, of Philadel-
phia, became frightened at the ap-
proach of an auto truck driven by
Harry Zimmerman, about 9:30 o'clock
yesterday morning, at the corner eof
the Bush Arcade, on south Water
street, and in her haste to avoid be-
ing hit fell down on the brick pave-
ment, injuring her right knee. Mr.
Zimmerman was able to stop his
truck before he touched the woman.
Mrs. Fox, with her husband and son,
Samuel Fox Jr., and wife, are touring
Pennsylvania and had come to Belle-
fonte from State College on Wednes-
day evening and spent the night here.
‘They were on thir way to look at the
big trout in Spring creek when the
accident happened. Her injury is not
serious.
—Huckleberry pickers out on the
mountains have had some nerve-rack-
ing experiences with rattlesnakes and
cepperheads this season, and game
protector Thomas A Mosier avers that
he never saw snakes so plentiful as
they are this year. Personally
he has killed to date eight rattlers
and eighteen copperheads. The rat-
tlers ran from an old fellow with
eleven rattles and a button down to
one with only two rattles and no but-
ton. The rattlers are more plentiful
on the Allegheny mountains than any-
where else while the copperheads are
more numerous on the mountains near
Coburn. Notwithstanding the fact
that the reptiles are so plentiful there
have been no fatal cases of snakebite
in the county.
| GAMBLE MILL PROPERTY
PURCHASED BY BOROUGH.
Bid of $38,500 Accepted by Referee
in Bankruptcy Subject to
Approval of Court.
The bid of $38,500 submitted by
borough solicitor N. B. Spangler to
Lee Francis Lybarger, referee in
bankruptcy, for the Gamble mill
property for the borough of Belle-
fonte went unchallenged at a meet-
ing of the creditors in the office of
W. Harrison Walker, on Tuesday
morning. No other bids were sub-
mitted and after considerable discus-
sion of the means of financing the
purchase the bid was accepted by the
referee subject to the approval of the
court.
Now that the purchase has been
made it is only right and fair that
the citizens and taxpayers of Belle-
fonte should know all about the deal.
First, the borough could not become
an outright purchaser because it did
not have the necessary cash to make
it and has reached the approximate
limit of its borrowing power. Under
such circumstgnces it was necessary
to provide other ways and means of
financing the proposition.
As stated last week Mrs. Gamble
now holds a mortgage aginst the
property for $25,000.
bank in Williamsport, the Lycoming
Trust Co., she has consented to allow
$20,000 of this mortgage to stand for
an indefinite number of years. This
left a balance of $20,000 to be ar-
ranged for, as extra money will be
needed for the legitimate expenses of
the deal.
Under an act of assembly a non-
profit sharing company can be form-
ed to take over the plant and lease it
to the borough with an option to pur-
chase. Such a company must be legal-
ly chartered by the court as a hold-
ing company, and that is what will
be done in this instance. The three
men composing the company are
James R. Hughes, George Hazel and
J. Kennedy Johnston. The Bellefonte
Trust company will finance the pur-
chase to the extent of the necessary
$20,000; the loan to be secured by a
certificate of attachment on the wa-
ter funds duly executed by the bor-
ough. This certificate was authoriz-
ed by resolution of council at Monday
evening’s meeting, and was properly
signed and attested and ready to turn
over to the bank on Tuesday.
It will probably be a week or ten
days before aproval of the court can
be obtained and the deal closed up.
Then the holding company will exe-
cute its lease to the borough and the
property will come under municipal
control. The borough now has two
offers for the machinery in the mill,
and as there is no intention to lease
the plant as a mill the machinery will
likely be disposed of as soon as the
borough eomes into legal possession.
In the meantime almost nine thous-
and dollars of the purchase price was
paid over on Tuesday.
The principal purpose in the pur-
chase of the plant was to give the
borough complete control of the wa-
ter situation in Bellefonte. If the
court approves the sale it will forever
obviate all danger of a private own-
er drying up Spring creek by using
all the water for commercial power
purposes.
Of course the borough also has in
view a utilization of the
er that can be generated at the mill
for making electricity to operate the
electric pumps at the big spring. But
this will not take place for another
years, at least. At the present time
there is no intention to make any
change in the street lighting, but if
the time ever comes when the borough
deems it expedient to put in its own
street lighting system, officials claim
there is ample water power at the
mill to furnish the current.
As stated above payment for the
plant is to be made out of the receipts
of the water department. At the
present these receipts approximate
$21,000 yearly. The operating ex-
penses last year were a little over
$16,000, but this included the laying
of considerable new pipe. Under or-
dinary circumstances council figures
that the water receipts will ex-
ceed the expenditures by about $5,-
000 a year, and on this basis the plant
can be paid for in ten or twelve
years, without any increase in tax.
Details for the completion of the
purchase will be worked out at the
adjourned meeting of council next
Monday evening.

I. C. C. Decides in Favor of the Belle-
fonte Central.
The Interstate Commerce Com-
mission, yesterday morning, handed
down its decisions in the several
Bellefonte Central Railroad company
| cases in which everything asked by
‘that company was granted, that is,
| the right to take over the abandoned
{ portion of the Fairbrook branch, the
right to build a connecting link be-
tween Struble station and the Fair-
brook branch, at Pennsylvania Fur-
nace, and trackage rights over that
' portion of the Fairbrook branch from
: Stover station to Tyrone.
Now that the I. C. C. has decided
favorably for the Bellefonte Central
the Pennsylvania Public Service Com-
mission will likely follow suit in the
near future, and then the Bellefonte
Central company will begin activities
on enlarging its system. :
Following close upon news of the
above decision application was made
vesterday for permission to extend
the Bellefonte Central down through
Little Nittany valley to Mill Halli,
which bears out the announcement
made by the Watchman almost six
months ago.
Liquor Law Violators Sentenced by
Judge Fleming.
A a special session of court, on Sat-
urday morning, five liquor law viola-

i to be suspended upon the payment of
| the fine and costs, owing to the ad-
{ vanced age and ill health of Mrs. Ya-
covich. The fine and costs were paid
_on Saturday and the woman was re-
leased.
{ Mary Blackhart was before the
i court charged with the operation of
{a motor vehicle while under the in-
fluence of liquor, the first time a wo-
man appeared in the Centre county
court on such a charge. She was sen-
| tenced to pay a
| prosecution
{ thirty days in the Allegheny county
| workhouse, to which institution she
1 was taken on Monday.
Boyd Benner, of Philipsburg, plead
' guilty to being the father of an ille-
, gitimate child and was given the usual
: sentence imposed in such cases.
Firemen to Go to Ebensburg Next
Year.
Central Pennsylvania volunteer
i firemen will hold their annual conven-
‘tion at Ebensburg next year. Such
i was the decision of the delegates in
i session at Clearfield, last Wednesday,
after Charles M. Schawb, the noted
steel manufacturer, had made a plea
for the Cambria county town and of-
fered as an inducement to contribute
$500 for prizes to be competed for
i by the firemen.
The officers elected for the ensuing
year are as follows: President, Emil O.
Wilkinson, of Ebensburg; vice presi-
dents, Howard Richards, Philipsburg;
William Snyder, Tyrone; A. J. Musser,
son, DuBois; treasurer, Hon. Harry
B. Scott, Philipsburg.
The State College fire company won
| a prize of $25 for the best appearing
| motor driven apparatus traveling the
longest distance to the convention.
Near East Relief.
On July 1st the amount raised by
Centre county toward its quota of
$8861 for completing the work of Near
East Relief, was $6161, which makes
a deficit of $2700. The three districts
which went over the top in their allot-
ments of the quota were Unionville,
Boalsburg and Bellefonte. As a failure
in any part will seriously affect the
children under our care, and we have
until, June 1929, to complete the quota,
the Centre county committee has de-
cided to send out appeals to the county
sometime in the fall or winter. In
the meantime the committee hopes
that the chairmen in the districts will
make arrangements for completing
our share of what is said to be the
finest and largest piece of construc-
tive work ever done in the world.

GRANGE PARK NOW
A PLACE OF ACTIVITY.
Final Preparations Being Made for
Big Encampment and Fair.
In one week, Tuesday, August 14th,
the leadership conference will open
on Grange Park and continue in ses-
sion four days, and in three weeks
the great Grange Encampment and
Centre County Fair will be in full
swing.
Work is being rushed so as to be in
readiness for both events—the big-
gest in central Pennsylvania. Two
new barns have been erected, one for
dairy cattle and the other for hogs,
and we can point to both buildings
with pride in construction and ap-
pearance as well. The old dairy barn
will be adequately equipped for
Grange and other special exhibits, for
which there has been heretofore no
room for proper display. All other
improvements undertaken are about
completed as planned and tents are
staked and floors laid preparatory to
tent erection this week.
An unusually interesting prograr
has been arranged both for day and
evening. This has been given some
space in the premium book which is
now being distributed. It contains
much information of value to exhibi-
tors, campers and the public gener-
ally. And it is urged they make
themselves familiar with the rules and
regulations governing the fair, which
are given full explanation.
The superintendents in the various
departments report interest and ac-
tivity and promise a big and complete
display along the lines, filling build-
ings set apart for that purpose and
the usual space on the grounds with
superior products of farm, garden and
orchard. In addition, farm machin-
ery, automobiles and tractors will be
made a big feature of the fair.
Applications for space from better
and larger concessions are coming in
rapidly and this department, always
interesting and entertaining, will be
above criticism in every respect and
add the necessary tinge of variety to
the fair. A
The Boys’ and Girls’ Livestock
Judging contest will be made an im-
portant feature of Wednesday; in-
creased prizes paid and ribbons
awarded. The Junior Farmers will
camp in their building on Grange Park
and under their new director, W. S.
Jefferies, an unusual program of in-
teresting activities has been arranged.
Speakers for Wednesday and fot
i Thursday have been secured and in-
clude Hon. E. B. Dorsett, Master of
Pennsylvania State Grange; Prof. L.
H. Dennis, Director of Vocational Ed-
ucation in Pennsylvania, who will
take as a topic for his address, “The
F. F. P.;” W. Harrison Walker, Esq.,
of Bellefonte, and Hon. J. Laird
Holmes.
For evening entertainments, five
subordinate Granges of Centre coun-
ty are preparing plays of superior
merit. These will be presented in the
. auditorium and a small admission fee
charged.
Bands from different parts of the
county have been engaged and prom-
ise an abundance of music. A un-
ique arrangement has been made in
the base ball game program which
will culminate the last day in a
game between the winners of all the
previous games.
Free admission to the park on Sun-
day and a suitable program has been
‘arranged for the afternoon and even-
ing.
All tents will be wired, and tent
rent including light, will be $7.00 for
| 12x12 ft. size, and $8.00 for 14x14 ft.
1 size Tents owned by private individ-
‘uals will also be wired and when of
: similar size, ground rent will be $4.00
‘for the week. An additional charge
‘for larger size tents.
No effort is being spared by the
committee in making arrangements
for pleasure, comfort and convenience
of the visitor to the fair and the
camper on the grounds alike, and this
1928 Encampment and Fair promises
to equal, if not surpass, its previous
exhibitions.
Everything Ready for Motor Club
Picnic Next Week.
All arrangements have been com-
pleted for the big Motor Club picnic
to be held at Hecla park, Wednesday,
August 15th, by the Centre County-
Lock Haven motor clubs. The prizes
to be given in the various athletic
events are now on exhibit in Belle-
fonte and as they are all worth com-
peting for, will, without doubt, bring
out a lot of contestants. The list of
events and prizes are as follows:
Rifle shooting contest—silver lov-
ing cup.
Boys’ swimming contest—first prize,
pen and pencil set; second prize,
bathing suit.
Girls’ swimming contest—first prize,
mesh bag; second prize, vanity case,
Canoe tilting contest, bath role.
Running races—boys, baseball
glove; girls, tennis racket.
Canoe race, with paddles, bath robe.
Quoit pitching contest, box of ci-
gars. :
Nail driving contest for ladies, van-
ity case.
Boy Scout craft contest, $20 in gold.
Bathing beauty contest—first prize,
mesh bag value $20; second prize,
wrist watch.
The above contests, together with
baseball, dancing, speaking, band con-
certs and flying circus should attract
an unusually large crowd. Every-
body is invited, whether a motorist
or not.

The Samuel Taylor family have been
prevented from making their annual sum-
mer visit to Bellefonte, by the illness of
Mrs. Taylor, who has been ill for a month
or more with rheumatic fever.
—On Sunday what has been a most de-
| lightful three week’s outing for quite a
party of Akron, Ohio, people will be
brought to a close when they start to mo-
‘tor homeward. They have been largely
i composed of the family of Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Irwin, son of Mrs. Susan Irwin, of

j the Irwin home in this place and at the
! Florey home at Pleasant Gap the entire
party took a cabin in the Seven moun-
i tains for the days remaining before their
scheduled departure on Sunday.
—Almost we have been persuaded to
“think that this has been “Old Home
| Wee ” in Bellefonte. Rarely have we met
{ so many of the residents of years long gone
‘who have drifted back to have a look at
{ Bellefonte and count the friends who have
not yet taken their ride up Howard street.
Among them is Stewart Laird. He dropped
into the office Monday morning, We
'hadn’t seen him for forty-two years, yet
~we knew him instantly. As a boy Stewart
i lived opposite us. He is the oldest son
{ of Robert Laird and learned his trade as
‘an electrician with the first electric light-
ing company in Bellefonte. Now he is
with the largest electric power generating
company in the world and has charge of
one of its greatest plants just outside of
| Minneapolis. He and Mrs. Laird are on an
| extended trip as guests of the Northern
States Power Company and they are in
| the position of the fellow who didn’t know
‘where he was going but was on his way.
| He left Minneapolis with orders to report
| from Chicago, there he got orders to re-
port from Pittsburgh. At iPttsburgh he
| was ordered to report at Bellefonte. Here
he received orders to report at Atlantic
City and so it goes. A nice vacation,
isn’t it, when you don’t know where you're
going, but your expenses are all paid
wherever it might be.
