in this issue, the firm of E. C. Cas

his interest to Carlton A. Caswell.
Mr. Staver has been connected
with the Woolen Mill for many

here who hope that he will make
such business arrangements as will
not necessitate his removal from
Bloomsburg. He is now devoting
his attention to the First National
Bank as active Vice President, in
the absence of K. B. Tustin, Cash
ier. Carlton A. Caswell, the new
partner, is a young man who is un
usually well fitted for the business.
He pursued a course of study in
Philadelphia, aud is active and en
ergetic, and under the new firm the
Bloomsburg Woolen Mill will no
doubt continue to be what it has
been for many years, one of our
leading industries.
J. T. Rothrock, Forest Com

pared a bill for the present Pennsyl

division of the United States Geo
logical Survey for two years, be
ginning June i, 1901, for the
purpose of gathering data and
determining the volume and com
mercial value of the waters carried
by the Delaware, Susquehanna and
other important streams in the
State. Under the provision of the
bill the ceolosrical survey is to do
the work and pay half the expenses
of the investigation. If this bill
becomes a law and the work is
prosecuted, the result will undoubt
edly be of great value to many
interests in Pennsylvania, not only
to those to whom the utilization of
water power is necessary, but also
to the cities and municipalities
which draw their water supply
from the streams of the State.
