BEAUTIFUL INDIAN NAME.
Selected forNewTown Now Being
Built Near Marlinton.
Whore the Greenbrier Division of
the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad
crosses the river eight miles below
Marlinton there is being built a new
town which is distincted to be the
largest and best town between Marlin
ton and Ronceverte. Watoga! Pro
nounce it and see how musical the
sound. The name was selected by W.
A. Ross, Trainmaster and Chief Dis
patcher of the Greenbriar Division.
It is the name of the Indian tribe
that roamed the forests of Tennessee,
Kentucky, West Virginia, Western
North Carolina and Eastern Ohio be
fore advent of the white man. There
is no other postofflce in the United
States of the same name.
At Watoga will be located the largo
band mill of the J. R. Droney Lumber
Company. This will be the principal
industry of the town and will in itself
draw a good population. They will
endeavor to locate other industries
there which will aid in building up the
town. At present they have three cir
cular saw mills, giving employment to
nearly one hundred men, cutting lum
ber for the mill store house and dwell
ings. The boarding house and three
dwellings are completed and the con
tract calls for the completion of one
dwelling a week until thirty in al)
have been finished. The filing room;
and machine shop are also well under j
way. The-company will also build a
church for all denominations, a school
house to accommodate sixty pupils and
a clubhouse. The latter will contain
bath rooms and a reading room for the
men. These features will have a tend
ency to draw to the new town only the
better class of laborers. The store
building will be 24x80 feet with a twelve
foot stone cellar. A concrete vault
will be connected with the office. The
town will have a complete system of
electric lights, water and sewerage.
Water will be placed in each dwelling.
As soon as possible the town will be
incorporated. It is now a regularstop
for the morning and evening trains
and when the new schedule goes into
effect all trains will step there. H. 11.
Cloyes is general Manager for the com
pany and J. W. Sullivan is book keep
er. When the postoflice is established
the latter gentleman will be made
postmaster.
The laud of the .!. R. Drovney Lum
ber Co., consists of 9,000 acres extend
ing from below the mouth of Island
Lick run to the site of the new town.
A railroad is being built from the mill
to the mouth of the above run, laid
with sixty pound rails. This will be
used to convey the logs to mill. The
mill will have a capacity of 100,000 feet
per day and it is expected to have it
ready for operation by November 15th.
Marlinton, (W. Va.,) Times.
Queer Reasoning.
Newspapers and politicians opposed
to the election of a Republican govern
or under any circumstances are now
indulging in some remarkably queer
reasoning. They concede the strength
of the platform adopted on Wednes
day by the Republican state conven- '
tion—though, to be sure, they doubt its
sincerity—and they'all admit the un
impeachable character of Edwin S.
Stuart, the nominee for governor In
deed, the adjectives they use in saying
complimentary things of Mr. Stuart
are all pitched in the superlative and
in what they say of his integrity, his
unblemished record and his excellent
standing as a citizen they express
themselves in iar stronger terms than
Republicans have resorted to.
In face of all this disposition to pay
tribute to Mr. Stuart's undoubted
worth these opponents of the Repub
lican party solemnly aver that it would
be dangerous for the state to elevate
him to the governorship. In one
breath they declare him to be a model
of impeccability and in the next they
deplore the imminent possibility that
be may turn out to be a weak vessel
and become the creature of other per
sons and of interests not calculated to
conserve the public good. This is pure
flubdub. Mr. Stuart is 52 years of age
and more than half his life he has been
distinctly a man of affairs. Not mere
ly once, but often, he has been in the
limelight. His record as a citizen, as
an official and as a trustee is open to
everybody who cares to search it. Yet
in all Philadelphia and the state not a
man nor a newspaper has found one
item that warrants the suggestion that
Mr. Stuart, the nominee., is any differ
ent from Mr. Stuart, the man As a
man "thinketh in his heart, so is he."
It is sheer impudence to declare that
Gov. Stuart would have and lower
conception of moral obligations and
public duty than plain E. S. Stuart
has had during his long and busy life.

Emporium Opera House.
"A Bell Boy," that extremely funny
bunch of music, pretty maidens and
laughable situations will open for a
two night engagement at the Opera
House, June 18 and 19 This show is
recognized by both press and public to
be a winner. The title role of the mis
chevious Bell Boy is in the hands
of the clever young comedian.
Mr. John Galvin—to see him once
is to see him again. He is ably assist
ed by little Miss Ella Galvin, the
charming singing,soubrette.
Miss Irene Drew is seen to great ad
vantage as the widow Lowell, a fly
flirt. Mr. James Harris as A. J. Hawk,
has a character part which he handles
to the best, and Ned Nelson and James
A. Grady as Doogan and Coogan can
not be excelled as comedy boomers,
Taking all in all the show is a laugh a
minute from the time the curtain goes
up, until it goes down.

A Boss Ridden Convention.
The democratic convention last Tuesday nomi

personally managed by the Elk county machine 1
President Judge, Harry Alvan Hall of Elk
county; State Senator, J. K. P. Hall, Elk county;
Associate Judge, Dr. S. S. Smith; Member of As
sembly, Hon. F. X. Blumle; Prothonotary, Geo.
E. Wylie; N. P. Minard, Jury Commissioner;
Dr. Beale, Coroner ; and Jas. P. Creighton, dele
gate to State Convention. The turning down of
old-line party workers at the dictation of the Elk
county machine in absolute control of the con"
vention, was too flagrant a steal and more than
scores of Cameron democrats will stand for—the
worst in the history of this county. It remains
to be seen how long the Cameron democrats wilj
bow iu bumble submission to the dictation of
Elk county. Time will tell the story.

EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, JUNE 14, 1906.
Judge B. W. Green's nearly
in-Political Endorsement.
The Entire Judicial District Happily Pleased.
From Lock Haven Democrat.
His Honor, Judge B. W. Green of
Emporium, made his first official visit
to Lock Haven Thursday, since his re
cent appointment by the Governor,
and was warmly greeted and congrat
ulated by the attorneys and many
citizens with whom he came in con
tact. Soon after his arrival on Buffalo
flyer the Judge met District Attorney
Hippie and Associate Judges Harris
and Kinsole at the former's office and
held a consultation in reference to mat
ters pertaining to the court A 10
years' old boy named Lester Fravel, of
McElhatten, who was brought here
yesterday by Sheriff Mussina and
placed in jail, on complaint of his par
ents by reason of his incorrigability,
was taken before the judge who heard
the facts in the case.
Thursday morning Judge Green pre
sided at his first session of court, and
thought it was only for the purpose of
hearing argument and the transaction
of minor businesp, nearly all the attor
neys and many citizens were attracted
to the court room from the fact that
the new Judge was presiding.
Associates Harris and Kinsole also oc
cupied their chairs to the right and
left of the president judge.
After argument was heard in a num
ber of minor cases and the preliminary
business had been disposed of, Judge
Green called up the Fravel boy and
gave him some sound advice, telling
him finally that he would be placed 011
probation for one month and if he was
a good boy at the end of that time the
time the charge against him would be
withdrawn, but that if he continued
to misbehave or would attempt to run
away that he would be promptly ar.
rested and dealt with severely.
Judge Green presided with the ease
and dignity of a veteran jurist and
most favorably impressed our attor
neys and others who were present.
He will unquestionably prove a hustler
in disposing of court business and in
timated that frequent sessions of argu
ment court would be held in order to
keep the calendar cleared of trivial
cases. With this end its view lie an
nounced thai another srrasion of argu
ment court would be held at three
o'clock on the afternoon of the 15th.
Before offi'Art was called Friday morn
in Judge Green paid *. visit of inspec
tion to the county jas'l and was well
satisfied <y,'ith the conditions as be
found thera.

KIPE EXPERIENCE.

Judge Green is a Republican and
hence will likely be the nominee of his
party at the November election for the
office He is an attorney of ripe exper
ience and fine ability, there is no doubt
he will make a competent judge.

MAKE JUDGE GREEN UNANIMOUS NOMI
NEE.
Lock Haven Republican.
The Republican has received words
of approval from all sides for its stand
in favor of the nomination of Judge B.
W. Green by the Republicans of Clinton
county. It is generally recognized that
Judge Green cannot make a success
ful, or even hopeful fight without the
endorsement of Clinton county. This
being the situation it seems to us that
he should be accorded the unanimous
endorsement by the Clinton county
Republicans. Governor Pennypacker
considered him the logical and the
proper man for the appointment, a nd
the same reasons that counted in Judge
Green's favor for the appointment for
the judgeship vacancy certainly apply
With equal force to his nomination for
the full term.
With Judge Green as the unanimous j
nominee by the three counties of the I
25th Judicial district, the Republicans
will have an opportunity of electing j
him to a position he is well qualified to 1
fill with honor. This is naturally a
Democratic district but with the Re
publicans of the three counties united
upon Judge Green his prospects of
being elected are very bright, but there
must be unity of action among the Re
publicans to secure success. Why not
agree upon Judge Green as the un tni
mous choice for president judge and
enter the contest with a solid front? If
this is done the local ticket in all the
counties of the district will be strength
ened, for in union there is strength.
Th re is no question as to Judge
Green's fitness for this place. He rep
resents the highest type of manhohd,
has a clean private and business record;
and will bring to the bench a ripe ex
perince and fine legal attainments.
What more can be demanded as neces
sary qualifications in a candidate for
judge? From every view point of the
judgeship situation it would be an act
of political folly for the Republicans of
Clinton county not to endorse the can
didacy of Judge Green. We honestly
believe that he is the strongest man
the Republicans can name for the place
and we trust that Clinton county will
unanimously declare for him, for such
an endorsement by this county will
give him a prestige that will be of
benefit to hitn in the contest for an
election. It will notonly benefit Judge
Green, but will help every candidate
on the Itepublican ticket.
Froun the many expressioixs we have
receU\id regarding our position on this
judgeship question, we are firmly con
vinced that it is the true and logical
position for the Republicans of Clinton
coutr ty to take.
HONORED ASTPOINTMEN?

are located at Calder, a few miles from
Cameron, have ciosed down tempor
ary. Mr. W 11. G. Walker, Supt. and
Manager of the works, who has hustled

PRESS editor as follows, giving our
readers the exact facts:
"On the Ist of June, 1905, we made
the first brick. Since that date we
have completed all construction of the
works and developed our coal and
shale mines to a point where we are
Belfdependent,uotbeingobligi}d to buy
coal to run the works. We have
brought the quality of our paving block
up to the high standard demanded by
engineers of the large cities, and have
secured orders in Buffalo, Rochester,
New York and St. Catherines, Ont., in
all a million and a quarter paving
block.
We have on hand a large stock, I
enough to fill the above orders and
more. We have decided on some
miuor changes that will increase the
i economy in production, and find it will
| l>e to our advantage to suspend pro
i duction for a week or ten days until
these changes can be made.
We have noticed your news items for
Galder, and have thought the above
facts might interest you.

"A Bell Boy."
A handsome little bunch of girls will
prance and cavort at the Emporium
Theatre on June 18 and 19 in that hilar
ious musical melenge "A Bell Boy."
Sometimes they are garbed as soldier
girls, other times as Japanese maidens,
and again in diverse costumes of bright
and brilliant hue. At all times they
are bright eyed and roguish and ail
nearly measure the same height to an
inch. The chief charm of "A Bell
B >y" is the tuneful musical melodies
and the jaunty methods of principals
and chorus.
The funny antics of the "Bell Boy"
are side splitting and will send yon
home with a smile on your face that
won't come off.
Jonny Calvin plays the title role of
"Patsy" the Bell Boy, and this clever
young comedian i 8 hard to be excelled.
His side partner, Kitty Doogan, is
played by little Ella Galvin, and if yon
keep your eyes on the both of th9rn in
their many pranks, it will keep you
busy.
Irene Drew as the widow Lovall is a
dashing beauty and sings well.
Ned Nelson and Jas. A Grady as
Doogan and Coogan, two friends "from
the Emerald Isle, who get together
after fourteen years and make things
lively. Just keep your eye on Coogan
and then on the bug. Taking all in
all, the show is a bunch of music,
pretty girls and funny situations.

The King Around the Sun.
It is a number of years since our peo
ple were treated to a solar halo which
appeared Wednesday morning in the
sky, and it was the lirst time many of
our boys and girls have seen such a
phenomena. When a halo appears up
on the sky, light cirri clouds—very
high in the air, are generally seen, and
it is upon them the halo is delineated,
A white vapor predominates in that
part of the sky near to the sun;and the
blue tint of the atmosphere w replaced
by a light mist, the brilliancy of which
is sometimes unbearable to the eye, the
cloeds of the higher strata of the at
mosphere are formed of snowy parti
cles and must be of a certain degree ol
thickness; far, if too thin, the hale
would not occur; if too dense, the
light would be intercepted. The cryw
talization of the water must also pro
ceed slowly and not be disturbed by
Wind, as the halo is explained on the
hypothesis of snow or ice-crystals fall
ing slowly in a calm atmosphere and is
due simple to the refraction of the solar
rays upon crystals of ice and the colore
are caused by the different positions of
the prisms of ice.
The halo is generally seen in advance
of a storm, rain or snow, but like all
other weather signs, sometimes fails.
Wednesday there was a storm in the
south and another one in the west, and
at eight a. m.was raining as far north
as Washington, D. C.
Halos were in early ages deemed
marvelous phenomena, as signs of
celestial ire, pressages of death of prin
ces, etc.
