THE CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, KjTAßUiiHiiu iiv C. B. GOULD, MARCH, 1866. VOL. 43 Keystone Powder Co., of j Emporium, Awarded by United States Isthmian Canal Commission. TEN MILLION POUNDS Thank You—Come Again. On Monday The lat! mian Canal Commission opened bids at Washing ton for supplying more than ten mil-| lion pounds of dynamite, of various I sizes, for the fiscal year. The two i principal bidders wore the E. I. Du- ; Pont do Nejuours Powder Company I and the Keystone Powder Manufactur- j ing Company, Emporium, Pa., the j former bidding §1,051,880 and the Key- j stone Company of this place, §1,017,232. j When the good news flasi~cd over the j wires that the Keystone Company were j the lowest bidders and had been j awarded the contract for ton million pounds, great was the rejoicing. This monster order, in connection with the usual lively trade, will keep the Key stone, Sinnamahoning and Emporium plants busy as bees during the next year, and all three plants will furnish steady employment, at good wages, to hundreds of employees, thereby bene fitting our entire county. That this county should contain capitalists of such wide reputation and standing in the business world to command and receive the confidence of the United States Isthmian Commission is receiv ed with very great satisfaction by our people. Emporium is known all over the country as a powder town and when Uncle Sam or any other govern ment wants high explosives, here they can be served. All of our high explo sives companies are conducted on strict business principles and are rated in the financial world among the fore- j most of the land. Company M Notes. Company M has been invited to take part in the program proposed for July sth, in honor of our national holiday. The date of the Battalion Encamp ment at Sizerville has been set for August 11-18.

It is proposed to divide the boys of J Company M into two companies, Boys | from fifteen upwards will compose the | senior company and will retain the I name, Company M.

The big demand for the fuel by the iron and steel industry will enable the company •to dispose of its output. The new ovens are equipped with the improved j washer and crusher and the company | expects turn out coke equal to j any manufactured in the United ! States. Going to Denver.

EMPORIUM, PA.. THURSDAY. JUNE 10, 1909. Interesting Notes. Following are some brief extracts taken from letters written by Mrs. William Howard, who, with her son Master Whiteley, are visiting the Yu kon-Alaskan Exposition. These letters were written enroutoto the west. The explanations in brackets are made by Mr. W. 11. Howard: Chicago, May 31st, 1909. "Arrived here on time, got breakfast on train before we got to Chicago. Whiteley awakened me at 1:20 this morning to look at Lake Erie by moon light. It was beautiful The moon shown over it like a path to the other side. Just going to leave for St. Paul. Got ticket exchanged." (They were due in Chicago at 7:48 a. ni., central time; and to leave for St. Paul at 9:00 a. m., over the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul R. R.; where they were due to arrive at 9:10 p. m., Monday, May 31st, 1909.) St. Paul, June Ist, 1909. "We arrived here on time last night and came to the Merchants Hotel. Are just going to leave for Pasco, Could not get the promise of a lower berth last night. They told mo to come again this morning ; nd see what they could do." (They could have left St. Paul soon after arrival on the night train, but as The North Coast Limited train due to leave St. Paul at 10:15 a. m., over the Northern Pacific li. It., i-t a better train; going through the Bad Lands at night, and the most pleasant in day light; they concluded to stop over at St. Paul for it. Pasco is a N. P. Sta tion on tho Columbia river in the southern part of Washington, and there is where the change is made for Portland, over the S. P. & S. R R.) On board train, 5:20 p. ni., C. T., June Ist, 1909. "In a very short lime we will be in North Dakota. We did not leave St. Paul until 11 o'clock this morning, C. T. As soon as I got to St. Paul last night I went to the ticket office to secure my berth. They did not have a lower on this train, and took my name and told me to coino in the morning, I telling them that I would take the upper rather than none. This morning had to take the upper 14). But since getting on the train have had it changed to lower No. 1. Had to pay §12.00. Everything O. K." (This is post marked Fargo, North Dakota, June 1,1909, 8:30 p. m.) June 2nd, 1909. "We are having a great time. Came near having a bad accident last night, something like the one I was ingoing to Brookville; only the cars did not leave the track, merely tore up the ties. This morning we awoke and found the train stopped at Belfield for a washout. So I suppose we will be going through the best part of the country in the day. We just went a few miles and found another washout. It is now ton o'clock, M. Time, and we are standing for them to fix up a wash out. This car goes through to Port land. But it does not look as if wo would get there before Friday. Send us the Cameron county papers. Whitelcy is enjoying every minute and R"cs everything. Will mail this the first station we stop. Wrote you from Fargo last, night." (Fargo is the first station on the N. P. K. It., in North Dakota. The X. P. R. It., crosses the Red River of the north from Moorehead, Minn., to Fargo, N. I). AtMaodan, N. 1), which is 200 miles farther west the time chages from central time to mountain time; and it is here where tbo N. P. It. R., crosses the Missouri River. Bel field is the last station but one in North Dakota, and 80 miles west of Belfield the N. P. R. It., strikes the Yellow stone River at Glendive, Montana. The above is post marked St. P. & Spokane R. R , 2D. Div. 0, June 2, 190!). RMS.) We will soon be in Spokane, but are very late getting there; ought to have been there early this morning, but will not get there until 3:30 Pacific time this afternoon. Will send a telegram from Spokane to Portland. We will get there to-morrow morning (Friday) at about 7:30. We have some very nice people on board, and have had a very good time. Seems to me there are people from all quarters of the globe. They seem to be people that have travelled a great deal. We have a Mrs. Bigelow from Australia on her way home, and I think she knows some of our relations there. We also have Svelgani the Hypnotist on board, his wife and son and the young lady he makes play and sing grand opera. I was talking to his wife this morning out on the observation car and I am about the only one she has spoken to. A great many have been wondering who they are, and I found out all wo wanted to know this morning, and told some of the ladies. They told mo I was a regular Sherlock Holmes. Svengani is going to perform here in Spokane, Seattle and Portland; and all those that stop off at those places say they are going to see him. The car is rocking so I can hardly write." (This is post marked Spokane, Wash., June.4, 1909, 10:30 a. m. The train has followed up the south side of the Yel lowstone River from Glendive, cross ing the Powder and Big Horn Rivers to Billings; where it crossed the Yel lowstone River, and onto Livingston, Bozeman and Logan. Livingstone is where the change is made for Yellow stone Park. At Logan the train from St. Paul goes down the Missouri River j to Helena and through the Rocky Mountains to Garrison; but the north Coast Limited from Logue goes up the ! Missouri River to Butte City and down | the Deer Lodge River to Garrison. Moth trains then go down the Missoula I River through Missoula and on around [ the north end of the Bitter Root Moun ! t'tins through the Northern part of j Idaho to Spokane, Washington. About j balf way between Missoula, Montana Spokane, Wash., sit a place called Trout Creek the. time changes from Mountain time to Pacific time. Where o change is made in the time it is one hour backward if going west, and one hour forward if going east.) A letter from Mrs. William 11.

This week's Independent has anot her of editor Hockley's little joker editor ials. lie complains that so many Democrats are tariff Democrats unci should bo read out of the party, calling thorn traitors and hypocrites. Then in a few lines later ho endorses the demo crat who support protection princi ples. Bless your soul, if you rid every tariff democrat out of your party, you would not have votes enough in Penn sylvania to get a placa on the ballot. This great and growing Nation is a rock-ribbed tariff country and every time the democratic party evades the tariff issue and attempts the Cleveland or Bryan evasive tariff planks, they are licked out of their boots. This country, especially the laboring cle ment, will never vote to fill the hint, with Coxey's armies and tramps, never compel the American mechanic and laborer to wear the Cleveland "badge" we all remember so sadly. "The late Samuel J. Randall was .. protective democrat" and he honestly served his country and received plaudits of all for his gallant stand for the right. Tariff for revenue only would pauperize the American laborer and bring destruct ion upon the country. The Republi can party enacted wise tariff legislation and will continue to do so in the future with the aid of patriotic, honest sena tors and congressmen. Your old chestnut about the rich manufacturer lias been threshed so many times that it resembles a pinged cat. It's all rot. We believe in building up and not in tearing down the wall erected around the American industries and the Amer ican homes and not in pauperizing the American laborer on a level with the pauper European laborer. The land is full of honest tariff democrats who will continue to vote with the Republican party and send protection congress men to Washington long after you and tariff for revenue democrats are forgot ten. When you kick all protection demo crats out of the party you failed to find a week ago, you will have mighty few left. Keep right on watching this mighty country boom when president Taft places his signature to the new tariff bill soon to pass. It will be a protection measure, pure and simple— and as McGinty said, "Don't You For get It." DEATH'S DOINGS. KTTIUDUK. WESLEY ETTRIDCJE, aged 65 years, died at Williamsport hospital.
