Slit: The auditors' settlement publish
ed In your valuabl) paper is so suggestive
that as a taxpayer I mav be allowed to
specially call the attention of the tax-pay
ers of Cambria county to some of Its fea
tures.
At first when" the Fkkkxiax published
tli'i statement I thought that possibly there
might have been an error In setting up the
type, but when the Hastings TrUiiinc cor
roliorated the same figures, it may safely
!e put down as correct. Let every tax
payer compare the figures and judge for
himself.
The first item reads "To balance In hands
of treasurer at last settlement, $t.",.VM.Si"
Xow run down the column to w hen the
balance is struck, we find in hands of
treasurer J.lS.'.cr.yri. Xow examine the en
tire statement and then a.sk yourselves if
there is any evidence to show illiherality
on the part of the officials who were placed
in the several offices they now hold by the
votes of the taxpayers of the county, and
w ho are resKinsible to the people for their
official actions.
The statement throughout, looks as If
an heroic effort had been made to spend
the taxes collected from the people and
that the effort failed by .YS.r.i!7..-,. I don't
see how any other construction can be put
upon it.
It is a well-known fact that the town
ships elect assessors for the express pur- 1
pose of making a just valuation of proper
ty made taxable by law. They are first
Uuind In an iron-Had oath to perform their
duties in a stipulated manlier. Well, they
go to every taxpayer in their respective
districts and actually see for themselves.
They hand iu their books when completed
to the commissioners. What then? I'hey
are ordered to go back and value property
bi.'ber. I am informed that some of the
assessors actually did go back and make a
second assessment. Some others rcruseii
uiviiiir as a reason that they had "made
their respective assessments under oath
and could not change them." What then?
The commissioners multiplied the valua
tion by 3. This made the balance at set
tie meiit fcW.rcT.'.O. Now double this bal
ance and you have $1 17.2.V.! enough ami
more to do all the business for one year.
Will this balance reduce our takes next
year? 1 answer, wait and see. I suggest
one remedy. Aliolish the office of assessor.
This w ill save Sl.4i.'.'i. The commission
ers can guess near euollgh for all practical
. purposes.
Taxpayers of Cambria county, have you
been sleeping? Are you still sleeping?
Your attention has U-en called to this mat
ter le fore. It really looks as though you
like the tax paying business. If you do not.
cannot some of you suggest a remedy. I
offer one. Cut off all the 'salaries and
w atch the exiles tleeing from the county
seal, to w hich after sacrificing all their
private interests they "reluctantly" go in
the interest of us taxpayers. A.

A correspondent of the Altcona Times on
Monday. In writing about the railroad
down the ltlacklick gives the following:
It is announced from Marrisburg that a
charter has recently been cranted by the
state department to a corporation styled
the "Ebensbnrg and Itlackliek Railroad
coinpauy." capital .oi)i: the object be
ing, it is alleged, to construe! a railroad
thirty-five miles long, from connection
with the Cambria and Clearfield railroad
between Kaylor's and Ebensbnrg stations,
in Cambria county, through Itlacklick val
ley Jto a connection w ith the Indiana
branch of the Pennsylvania railroad near
Rlacklick station, etc. Xow this informa
tion in some respects Is definite, particular
ly in not naming, if known, the precise
point where a junction of the projecusj
road will be made w ith the Cambria and
Clearfield railroad. Xow, whether the line
will certainly pass through Eliensburg and
thence dow n the south branch valley of
Itlacklick or not, the Inference, therefore,
is that the connection w ith the line of the
Cambria and Clearfield railroad may tie ef
fected at a iMiint north of Eliensburg, and
somewhere lietween Kaylor's junction and
Carrolitown, thus abandoning the line from
Kayloi's via Ebensbnrg. Should such a
course have neeii aeciuea upon oy me
Pennsylvania railroad company in the con
struction of this thirty-nye miles say, or
road, no doubt has lieen done after careful
and systematic Investigations were made
of the several routes leading through the
Rlacklick valleys, based upon accurate
and instrumental surveys of those routes,
embracing directness, minimum gradieuts,
eeonomlcrl construction, etc.
There is no question that a numlxrof
feasible and desirable natural routes lead
off in the proixT direction from the vicinity
of the lino of the Cambria and Clearfield
railroad, north or northwest of the liorough
of Eliensburg, presenting favorable facili
ties and inducements for the adoption of
some one of them; for example there is
middle branch of It'acklick creek and at
tendant valley, some two miles north and
west of Eliensburg, affording all the prere
quisites of practicable grades, cheapness of
construction, etc., from its head to junc
tion with the lilacklick valley; then the
west branch of Llucklink stream and val
leya short distance beyond, paralleling
the first named, and presenting equal na
tural advantages with the first mentioned
for laying out and constructing a railroad,
and still further on towards Xicktown and
Carrolitown and also within reach of con
nection with the Cambria and Clearfield
line and the yaileys of Morrison's Run,
Elk Lick Run, Dutch Run, etc., tributaries
of the north branch of lilacklick creek and
valley and with the last named, stream
and valley penetrating as extensive and
valuable coal territory as abounds in
Cambria cwunty.
The remarkable natural and material
resources and advantages that would be
long to any one of these last mentioned
routes for tliu construction of this pro
posed railroad, in regard to directness
and consequent saving in distance, light
gradients and cheap construction, in con
nection w ith the vast deposits of coal, im
mense forests of valuable timber, as well
as the miscellaneous tit flic such a road
would develop render Its ituxirtance In
calculable, if wisely located, and, there
fore, meriting more than cursory consider
ation by th' Pennsylvania Railroad com
pany liefore taking final action. Such a
connecting "link," too, would tirobably
eventually constitute part of a short line
over which to operate fat trains between
ISlairsville intersection on the main line of
the Pennsylvania railroad and Cresson,
and vice versa. It has Inien shown that it
need not prove a difficult task to "pick
and choose" a suitable and profitable route
through Cambria countr. and, if this link
is to lie built, the presumption Is that the
Pennsylvania Railroad company will view
the matter in the naked light of its sound
est judgment and lest interests, mater
ially, and without in the least being gov
erned by sentiment or sympathy for Indi
viduals, localities, places or ix-ople or their
idiosyncracies, but, all things iiejng equal,
w ill adopt that line nf construction con.
sidered most expedient and advantageous
iu all rcspsfts. That company is not
building and operating railroads to gratify
the caprices or enlarge the fortunes of in
dividuals or the general public, tint for its
own proer use, benefit and liehoof, auJ
w ho shall dispute the propriety of such a
course? In the following of which it is to
lie hoped no special or personal privileges
or favors will lie granted, nor selfish ag
grandizement permitted.
It is now- definitely settled that the route
adoptod from Kaylor's is that following
the line of the Klietisburg and Cresson
branch through Klieushurg and down past
the old toll gate at the west end of town,
striking the Itlacklick at Edward Owens'
old dam. At a meeting of the directors on
Wednesday of last week at Philadelphia,
the Kbensburg route was adopted, provid
ed the right of way can be secured without
too much expense. On Tuesday the en
gineers ran a (Hirtion of a new line near
the steam tannery !n Eliensburg which w ill
locate the line a little further south at that
point and do considerable less damage to
the tannery proerty.

station on the Pennsylvania systetu both
eat and west of Pittsburg, at one-half the
regular rates. Under this arragement
clergyman may octire halfrates to
Chicago during the World's Fair, and
there can be no doubt that a great many
of them wlil avail thenie)yes of tho Dp-

IF you are wHe awake you
will not wait until the last mo
ment before taking advantage of
the great bargains we are going
to give you this pay-day week.
In domestics we have several
brands that we will sell at less
than we can buy them to-dav.
The household department is
full of bargains, as you will see
by the tickets displayed on goods.
In the Men's furnishing de
partment we have decided hold a
great SHIRT SALE this week,
shirts of every description,
Flannel, Outing, Cheviot, Mad
ras, Percale, laundried and un
laundried, anything you want at
prices that will surprise you, but
only for a few days.
Again we call your attention
tc our carpet stock. If you will
glance at our south windows you
will see an indication of new
spring styles in Brussels and Tap
estries, with or without herders.
As in the past three setisons,
liht colorings prevail and once
more the artists who originate
the designs and color combina
tions have excelled a!l their
prjvious efforts in the beauty aud
elegance of patterns for the ap
proaching spring season.
The bargain list in carpets is
not yet exhausted but will be;
continued through the present
month. Some idea of these
goods can be had by a few prices
in the window display.
In every ram they are marked far below
the aetual price we paid for them. Tin
low prices are made simply because the
remnant lhu marked is ail we have of the
pattern, and no more will be ordend.
