Farmers' Instruction Train.
Begining February 22nd and con
tinuing for three days, the Pennsylva
nia Railroad Company will operate a
farmers' special instruction train
through the central part of the State
of Pennsylvania in the vicinity of Al
toona and Tyrone. This will give the
farmer, of that section of the State an
opportunity to hear lectures on im
proved methods of farming by experts
from the Pennsylvania State College
of Agriculture. These talks will treat
of "Soil Fertility," "Meadows and
Pastures", "Use of Lime", "Corn",
"Alfalfa", and "Dairying".
This three days' tour is a continua
tion of the campaign started by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company to
improve the methods of farming in
the through which it operates. Siuce
the Fall of 1 08 a number of special
instruction trains have been operated
in the States of New Jersey, Pennsyl
vania, and Maryland, and farmers'
educations! steamboats have been run
on the tributary to the Chesapeake
Bav by the Maryland, Delaware &
Virginia, and the Baltimore, Chesa
peake & Atlantic Railway Companies,
subsidiary lines of the Pennsylvania.
For the Central Pennsylvania Far
mers Special, the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company will furnish a train con
sisting of an engine, two coaches, fit

for those accompanying it. The train
will start from Altoona, Pa., and dur
ing the three days, stops will be made
at eighteen stations on the middle divi
sion, and on the Bald Eagle Branch of
the Tyrone Division. At each of these
stations two 45-minute lectures will be
delivered in the coaches. Persons de
siring to hear a lecture that is not giv
en at one point will be given an op
portunity to ccompany the train to
the next stopping place, or as far as
they care togo, on payment of the
regular railway fare. Abstracts of all
lectures will be distributed at each
station to all desiring them.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1910.
Pittsburg & Shawmut
Railroad Sells SB,-
000,000 Bonds.
Negotiations have been completed
for the sale $7,000,000 bonds, at Ave
per cent., payable in fifty years, great
er amount of the bonds will be placed
abroad The Pittsburg & Shawmut
and the Pittsburg, .Shawmut and
Northern will be consolidated under
one blanket mortgage. The Pittsburg
& Shawmut when completed will tap
what is said to be one of the largest
and richest bituminous coal areas in
Elk and Jefferson counties. At one
point on their line, they pass
within a snow ball distance of the Em
porium & Rich Valley R. R., and we
should not be surprised to see an effort
in the near future to get this line into
Emporium, if not further east.
Election Laws Will Have to Be
Amended.
The next Legislature will be asked
to cure a number of defects in the sche
dule of the recently adopted amend
! ments to the Constitution of Pennsyl
j vania.
Since the adoption of the amend
ments the State Department has been
flooded with inquiries regarding the
effect on the terms of various public
officers not provided for in the sched
ule. For the benefit of inquirers a
compilation has been made of the
things that will have to be taken care
of by the Legislature. All of these
will be incorporated in a bill that will
be presented early in the session of
1911.
As judges of the county courts can
only be elected iu odd numbered
years, at municipal elections, it will be
necessary to lengthen for one year the
terms of the Judges whose commis
sions expire with the end of the years
1912, 1914, 1916 and 1918 The t, :he
dulejhas already provided that those
Judges whose terms expire with the
end of 1910 shall continue in office
another year.
Terms of justices of the peace end on
the first Monday of May of each year,
except those to be elected in February,
1910, who shall serve until the first
Monday in December, 1915. The pro
posed act must state BpeciQcally that
the terms of those elected in 1908 shall
be lenthened to the first Monday in
December, 1911; those of 1907 and 1908
to the first Monday ofDecember, 1913,
and those of 1909 to the like in 1915.
The schedule takes care of city,
borouph, township and ward officers
elected in 1908 for three years ; their
terms are to end the first Monday in
December, 1911, and their successors
are to be elected iu November of that
year for four years It will be neces
sary for the Legislature to extend the
terms of such officers elected 1909 to
the first Monday in December, 1913.
Terms of officers who have in the
past been elected for four years
will have be extended to the first Mon
day iu December of the proper year,
as follows : Those elected in 1907, to
December, 1911 ; those elected in 1908
will serve to the same date (which
would shorten their terms a few
months) or to December, 1913, which
would lengthen them one year and
eight months. Those elected in 1909
for four years are provided for in the
schedule, and will serve until the first
Monday in December, 1913.
Officers elected in 1909 for two years
should serve until the first Monday in
December, 1911, but this is not provid
ed for in the schdule and will require
action by the Legislature.
One of the mistakes in the schedule
is a provision that assessors elected in
February, 1910, shall serve until the
first Monday of December, 1911, al
though heretofore these offiers have
been elected for three years. Under
the amended constitution those elected
after this year will serve four years.

An Obedient Dog.
Schnapps is a dachshund, and the
people who know all about tho breed
call the queer looking animal hand- 1
some. In the house in New York where !
be Is the pet he Ls credited with more
than ordinary dog sense aud with un
derstanding every word said to him In
Kngllsh or German. In order to dem
onstrate bis sagacity his master said
to him a few evenings ago: "Schnapps,
the young people have been here long
enough. Go down and tell the boys to
go home." Downstairs he waddled
and. standing before the visiting
youths, barked and howled, theu ran
to the front door and hack again and
kept up the performance until, as his
proud master explained, "the young
men heard and saw the point. I'retty
smart for n dachs, ehV"—Exchange. j
