Big Fortune in Sunken Logs.
When the old boom between Dußois
town and Nipnona park, in the West
Branch, is demolished at the end of the
present season, a fortune amounting to
an estimated equivalent of a million
dollars, may cotne to the state. With
in limits of 10 miles of cribs, millions
upon millions of feet of pine, oak and
hemlock timber, lie imbedded in the
saud and mud of the river bottom—the
accumulation of nearly half a century's
derelict sticks. Who is to have claim
to this lias become a question of inter
est and of riches to be had.
Tiie Pennsylvania forest of Clear
field, Clinton, Cameron and Potter
counties yielded pine trees as fine as
ever cut any where, and a hundred of
them if they be found lodged in the
river bed would pay for the dredging
of the entire boom space. In Cameron
county some time ago the Central lum
ber company got §6OO worth of lumber
out of a single pine tree; at this rate the
old boom promises a golden yield.
But the very interesting question is
to whom does this sunken lumber be
long? At no time have the logs been
the property of the Susquehanna Boom
company whose corporate functions
are to catch, hold and deliver to their
rightful owner all floating logs,levying
thereon for a certain salvage. Some of
these old logs when they have been
raised, will have on them the mill
marks of firms and individuals that
have long since gone to their reward,
and the contention is made that the
profit from these must revert to the
state.
If the work of recovering the sunken
logs is once begun the probability is
that there will be a keen lookout for
sticks bearing the marks of ownets
who hope to reap a late day harvest
from the long lost derelicts.—Ex.
A Good Farmer.
Alex McAuley, the scccessful man
ager of the upper Josiah Howard farm,
Kich Valley, transacted business in
Emporium last Monday, and the PRESS
office was honored by a business call.
He is making an excellent property
out of this farm, which is located near
the Peasley farm.
One Hundreth Birthday.
Mr. T>. 11. Cawley, of Sizerville, told
us on Saturday that he expected to be
present at the 100 th anniversary of his
aunt's birthday, Mrs. Charity Stevens,
at New Oxford, Mich., at which were
expected about five hundred guests.
This remarkable woman honored the
PRESS columns some months ago.
Old School-Mate Friends.
Prof. Alfred H. High, of the Phila
delphia Boys High School was in Em
porium over Sunday, guest of his old
school-mate friend, Fred Arn Johnson,
one of our rising young attorneys. Of
course the meeting of old friends was
an enjoyable one. The Prof, was eu
route for Ohio to visit friends.

Tremendous Business Done at
State Treasury During July.
Harriibury Telegrepli.
State Treasurer John O. Sheatz has
broken all records for the payment of
the state school appropriation, the
total disbursements for this object
alone in the sixty days between June
1 and August 1 aggregating the mag
nificent total of §4,069,141.78, or $1,670,-
723 more than paid in the same period
last year.
According to the statement of busi
ness at the Treasury for the month
just closed, the receipts of the Treas
ury wore §3,152,541.45 and the pay
ments §4,955,819.90, over half of which
went for school purposes. The geir
eral balance in the Treasury at the
close of July business wassll, 943,796.04,
of which §9,426,525.35 was in the gen
eial fund and $2,517,270.69 was in the
sinking fund. Of the balances §523,000
is held by the Allegheny National
Bank which closed.
The payment of school money is con
sidered to be notable on Capitol Hill,
as it goes lnr beyond any record ever
made in the preceding adminisiration.
In addition there was drawn warrants
for over §500,000 more by the Depart
ment of Public Instruction which did
not reach the Treasury in July. Mr.
Sheatz stood ready to cash them. In
all 1,811 of the 2,580 districts were paid.
Improvements by Property
Owners.
Emporium property owners continue
to improve their property in a very
substantial manner.
Mr. J. Pitt Felt is adding a fine con
crete porch to his beautiful residence
on North Broad street; when complet
ed will add greatly to the appearance
of his home in connection with other
improvements he is making.
Dr. H. S. Falk is having a concrete
walk laid in front of his Fourth street
home, which will bo a great improve
ment and highly appreciated by our
people.
New concrete walks have been laid
and other improvements made by A.
11. Panting on his Filth street property
and AugustExtrom,on Sixth street has
also planned a fifty foot concrete walk.
R. Seger continues to improve the
appearance of his property at the junc
tion of Fourth street and Allegheny
avenue. The tenement flat on Fourth
street is nearing completion.
Johnson & McNarney have brighten
ed up their law office on Broad street
by putting on a fresh coat of paint.
The remodeling of the St. Charles
hotel in the East End, adds greatly to
the appearance of that part of town
and shows what can bo done to beauti
fy that section if the property owners
would only be up and doing.
The store and residence of Mrs Ida
Overhiser on Fourth street is resplend
ent in a fresh coat of paint and looks
very neat
Mrs. M. A. Rockwell has recently
added a fresh coat of paint to her

No Nebraska for Us.
On June 4 last the inhabitants of
Buffalo County, Nebraska, and partic
ularly of the town of Kearney, were
besieged by no ler lan seven torna
j does.
! That a number of houses should have
j been wholly and in part destroyed is
! naturally to be expected of any cyclone
! that is at all violent. But that it
! should pick up a caster from a table,
twist off the handle and drivb the
spindle through the branch of a walnut
tree is surely no common occurrence.
Mr. Bricker assures us that before the
storm the caster found a place on the
j table of Mr. G. F. Franks, that it was
i intact with the bottles in their intend
! cd positions; yet after the tornado the
I base was found in a walnut tree limb.
! The wind had unscrewed the top and
| taken off the turntable. One of the
i bottles was found with twigs densely
| packed into its neck, without a leaf
j stripped. The bottle, however, was
I broken.
Base Ball.
The much talked of game of ball be
tween the Old Stars and the regular
Emporium team was pulled off last
Friday and up until the fourth inning,
the game was very evenly played.
In this inning the Old Stars com
menced to weaken and the younger
blood continued to gain until at the
end of the ninth inning the score stood
11 to 1 in favor of the regular team.
The Old Stars were outclassed in this
game in every particular. Overturf
pitched for the regular team, and cer
tainly put up a neat game. Hemphill
pitched for the Old Stars, and the num
ber of runs scored against him is no
fault of his.
Last Saturday the Emporium team
was defeated by the Ridgway boys at
Keystone Park, 11 to 9. The boys
played a snappy game throughout.
The features of the game were a one
hand catch by Burhans and a neat
double play by Overturf and Farrel,
and the exceptional good work of Far.
rel at first base. The Ridgway boys
had thirteen hits, the fast work by
our boys robbed them of several more,
which ordinarily would have been
counted safe.
The First Campaign Poet.
Campaign poets are beginning to
pipe their lays. If all shall sound as
j clear a note as J. W. Foley, they will
; be warmly welcomed by the newspaper
mending public, which includes every
j body nowadays. Mr. Foley in the
! New York Times, which may be de
i described as "Taffc Democratic,"
cleverly pictures the attitude of the
prosperous farmer, prosperous under
Republican policies, toward Mr.
Bryan's appeal for subscriptions to
combat "predatory wealth." First we
have the graphic description of the
[ farmer's solvency:
[ Crank up the auto, Jonathan; putin more gaso
line:
We'll take a spin about the fields, where things
look fresh and green;
Call up the town by telephone and order those I
repairs;
Go bring me in my Daily Times—l'll just see |
how my shares
Are selling now; tell Ben to get right out there ;
in the corn--
That cultivator makes it jump, as sure as you !
are born.
And bringiny check book, Jonathan; the limes
are growing ill.
Since predatory wealth's afoot—l II send a
check to Hill.
A second stanza tells of the comfort
able circumstances of the worthy
farmer's children, while the third
brings us to the climax, with the farm
er's keen realization of which side his
bread is buttered:
Oh, I've had some hard times, 1 know; some
short crops a nd some long;
Hut 1 saved some when things went right to
use when things went wrong;
Tell Hen to start that engine up, we'd better
grind some feed;
And put the gang plow in the field to fallow
it for seed:
It's lonesome without mother here, but she's
a right togo
Up in the mountains when it's hot as any one
I know,
We've got the money for it, too, and times are
not so ill;
On second thought I'll send the check down to
the other Bill!
This little poem as a campaign docu
ment is worth columns of ponderous
prose. The fictitious incident thus re
lated will be repeater in real life thou
sands of times. Bryan appeals to the
discontented. And the contented and
prosperous farmers will vote for"the
other Bill."—Pittsburg Times.

Old Soldiers Read.
DEAR FRIEND MULLIN:— The Con
federate soldiers, who participated in
! tlie battle of Dry Creek, will hold a re
| union on the battle Held, Aug. 29th. it
1 is their desire to have all the surviv
ing Union Soldiers, who engaged in
j this battle, as well as other Union
| Soldiers, to come and participate in
j this reunion.
The old soldier is getting old indeed,
I and within a short time they will be
j with us only in history and affection
ate memories. For"this reason the
| promoters of this re-union believe this
I will be the only one on this battle field,
in which the old soldier will be able to
attend. It is a fitting tribute to the oc
casion for the old soldiers, of both
! sides, to meet in love, joy and peace
! on this spot, whereas young men they
engaged, brethren and against breth
ren, in the deadly conflict of Civil War
This will be the last grand rally.
The Committe of arrangements have
requested me to hunt up the Union
i Soldiers of this battle and get them in
i communication with the Committee.
The famous White Sulphur Summer
' resort is on the edge of the battle field
and will be in full blast at the time of
the reunion. The "Grand Hotel" of
the resort, as well as a amber of other
hotels in the village, will provide ample
accomodations for all classes of people.
If you know of any information that
will put me in touch with the Union
soldiers who participated in the battle
of Dry Creek, W. Va , under General
Averills, I will be pleased to have it.
Yours very truly,
GEO. W. HUNTLEY, JR.

Northern Central Sued for $6,000.
Through her attorneys, Don M. Lar
rabee and N. M. Edwards, Esqs , Sarah
J. Kleese has brought suit against the
Northern Central Railway Company,
for the death of her husband, William
Kleese, asking for §6,000 damages.
In the statement tiled on Monday in
the Prothonotary's office, it is alleged
that on or about September 20, 1907,
Kleese was hauling wood with a horse
and wagon, from a sawmill near the
railrcad, between Haleeka and Powys,
i to his home, about a mile distant from
i the mill,the railway being between the
| mill and his home; that it was neces
| sary to cross the tracks in the hauling
i of the wood, the crossing, known as
"Waltz' Crossing," being near the mill,
and kept and maintained by the rail
way company and being a much trav
eled road for forty years or more.
While Kleese was crossing the
tracks, it is alleged, an engine and
train, southward, "without warning"
strueic and fatally injured him and he
died in a few minutes. It is further al
leged in the statement that there is an
obstructed view of south-bound trains,
■ and that no warning whistle was
sounded or notice of the train's ap
proach given.
The horse was also killed at the
same time that Kleese met his death.—

Remains of Chas. Dranqle, tmbalmeti
One Year Ago, Baffles Skill of
Egyptians
Chas. Drangle, who Sept. 27th, 1907,
fell from a supply wagon, near Era
poriurn, breaking hiß neck, being dead
when found. From papers found on
his person it was learned that his
former home was in Stockholm,
Sweden. His remains were taken to
Geo. J. Laßar's undertaking establish
raent, when Chas. W. Rishell, the un
dertaker and embalmer prepared the
body for burial. Correspondence was
opened with the relatives through the
Swedish Counsel at Philadelphia,when
it was learned that Drangle was con
nected with one of the most prominent
families of Sweden. No final arrange
ments having been made Drangle'e
remains were held pending final in
structions. The body may yet be ship
ped to Sweden.
This case has excited a great number
of expert embalmers in all sections of
tha country and hundreds have called
at Uudertaker Laßar's morgue to view
the remains. Embalmer Rishell'e
secret has puzzled the "frat" how he
he could keep the body in such excel
lent condition, when they were in
formed that not a drop of blood was
drawn from the body and no disem
boweling performed. All who have
called to examine this wonderful case
agree that Embalmer Riishell has put
the Egyptian mummy preservers clear
in the shade.
Drangle was one of those big hearted
fellows, as most woodsmen are, and
when he bad a good "stake," as he
often had, his money went mostly for
the entertainment of his friends. His
gererosity was his "doing" finally.
He had resided in Cameron and Elk
counties about twenty-five years.
New Military Company.
"The new Military Company, organ
ized last week, had its first drill last
evening, and has every indication ol
being a credit to the town. There are
now forty-two members enlisted, and
it is hoped to bring the membership to
sixty, if possible. The Company is in
dependent of all organizations, but is
drilling under the United States Army
tactics and tho Pennsylvania National
Guards' regulations.
The Rector of the Episcopal Church
very kindly offered the use of the
Parish House as a drill room, until
such time as other arrangements could
be made. The boys would like to use
the Opera House, but as the organiza
tion is self-supporting, it is desired to
keep the expense as low as possible,
and tho above offer was thoroughly ap
preciated.
The Company will drill ovenv
Wednesday evening, falling in at 7:30."
The Lock Haven State Normal School
sent out a large class of young men
and women at its last commencement.
Their excellent training thoroughly
eqipped them for tho positions of
teachers and it is gratifying to know
that they were all fortunate in secur
ing schools. Its patronage during the
year just closed greatly exceeded anv
previous years. Address the Principal
for illustrated catalogue.
Hay Ride.
Last Monday evening the members

by Mrs. Leadbetter and assistants.
With much merry making the Society

time to build, while lumber is cheaper
than it has been for many years.
