Editorial Comments. Col. Roosevelt is pouring "hot stuff" | into the minds of the old world as he | hurries for America. He has a won derful storehouse of good sense, and some ridiculous nonsense, especially , his "hobby" of large families. We do | not believe in placing, or referring to i the mother as a polific breeder, or the J father as a boar. There is altogether j too much printed and Bpoken upon this sacred subject. In times gone by, j such events were spoken, or referred j to, with abated breath, and not liken ed unto the creatures. It is ridiculous. Now that so much is being written throughout the Nation relative to the Congressional timber to be floated be fore the people this fall lor Congress, it behooves all citizens of Cameron county, in fact every voter composing this .Congressional district, to think well: Will it not be safer to trust their interests with a tried and true Con gressman, such as Hon. Chas. F. Bar clay has proven himself to be? We confidently expect the re-nomination of Capt. Chas. F. Barclay at the Uni form Primaries to be held June 4th. The interests of the entire county are safe as long as such men are kept in Congress. Cameron county should, and we believe will be, a unit for the "Buoktail" Congressman, Chas. F. Barclay.

As soon as the pany gets into its old swing again, there will be a formal inspection by the commander of the battalion. The Third Battalion has received an invitation to take part in a grand mili tary parade in Ridgway on Memorial : Day. It is hoped that Company M will be able to participate in this. The boys are eager togo, and if every one will take hold of the work in goot! earnest and do his part *o bring the Company up to its proper showing in numbers and efficiency, no doubt the trip can be arranged. According to present plans the En campment will be held at Sizerville June 29-July 6. Tbe special feature of the Encampment will be a very inter ! esting Fourth of July program, which will draw a large number of visitors. ; In addition to tbe companies from Em S porium, St. Marys and Ridgway, it is expected that two 'nies from , Bradford will be present i -e to w/.ere •he came up, and he saw her hink never to rise again.

R. b Ridgway's Big Fire. Last Snturday morning about 1:15, fire of unknown origin, started in the llvde-Murphy plant at Ridgway and before the firemen could check the blaza it had completely consumed the big plant, spread across the street con suming several buildings in that sec tion. As soon as the magnitude of the fire was ascertained Dußois, Johnson burg and St. Marys were wired to send aid, to which all responded. The fire wiped out one of the principal indus tries of the town and cleaned out six of the business houses, destroyed sev eral dwellings and buildings used as department houses and did other dam age. The estimate loss is about one half million dollars with about half of that amount covered by insurance. Fifty-two visiting firemen took break fast at the Bogert, Saturday morning. These visitors rendered invaluable as sistance during their stay there. Both the Pennsylvania and the B. R. & P. R. Companies were of great aid to ! the town of Ridgway during the fire, ! by giving trains to carry the firemen ! and apparatus from Dußois Johnson burg and St Marys. It is expected [ that most of the burned buildings will be rebuilt at once. Graduating Class Entertained. I Mr. Earl MacDougall was a host at a j class party given at his home last ] Thursday evening to the members of j the Graduating Class of 1910.

Baldwin and Joe McNarney were suc- I cessful in capturing the first prizes in ; the contests of the evening, while ; Misses Ximena Brooks and Helen I Cook. After a most delightful even ; ing bpent in new and up-to-date past -1 times, an elaborate luncheon of six courses was served. Earl never does anything by halves and as a host is j most successful, making his guests feel perfectly at home and thereby af- I fording them a good time. For Sale at a Bargain.
