VOL. LXXXVII.
BIGELOWISM IN OPERATION,
Bigelowism is merely the expression
of Penrossism in the state highway
department. Brumbaugh, who ia the
Penrose candidate for Governor, and
who has definitely refused to oppose
Penrose, hab been asked what he pro-
poses to do with Bigelow, the Penrose
highway commissioner. To date he
has declined to say anything on this
subject. Bigelow is for Brumbsugh,
and the motto of the gang is, * The
man who is not for us is against us.”
No member of the gang forces is for
suy man who is against the gang.
While Brumbaugh does ro: dare to
come out in the open for Bigelow, in
s-cret he is for him. He would not
dare to take any other stand, because
he was nomioated by the gang of
which Bigelow is a part, and must de-
peud upon it for what etrength he
has.
Bigelowism in operation is the
greatest enemy the good roads move-
ment could possibly have. Between
June, 1911, and October 1, 1914, Bige-
low had received over fourteen and sa
haif million dollars for use in his de-
partment. During that time the
amount actually devoted to road con-
struction was a trifla over five and a
third million dollars. The remainder,
over nine and a third million dollars,
went for experiments, inspection,
galaries, expenses, padded and politi.
cal payrolls, and other things that
need careful looking into.
The total extent of the road system
guthorizad is 8 827 miles, The total
completed or under contract in the
more than three years is 217 miles,
Of this less than 59 miles of state built
and 45 miles of state aid highway are
asciually done. The rest is merely un-
der contract.
This is some indication of what
Bigelowism in operation and in the
fall glory of its extravagance and in-
efficiency means to the people oi
Peousylvania, Toat is what Dr.
Brumbaugh, until he shall come out
squarely and eay that he is against
Bigelow and Bigelowism, which will
vever happen, must be considered as
standiog for. This 18 what those
citiz:ps of Pennsylvania who vote for
Brumbaugh will vote for, This
what those earnest and sincere men
who are fighting Penrose, Peoroseism
and Bigelowism sare pledged to
away with. This extravagance, if it
be nothing worse, makes a showing
by the side of which the cost per mile
of roads in New York, with all the
reported and suspected graf, is po
comparison. Mr. Voter, what are you

Pennsylvania State College has
secured the services of A. O. Vorse,

COLLEGE BUYS LIVE STOCK.
To convince the farmers of Pennsyl-
vania that it pays to buy live stock for
fattening purposes, the State College
has just bought two car loads of cattle,
aggregating sixty head, and a car load
of horses. These animals will be fat-
tened on a ration adapted to Pennsyl-
vania conditions, and will be gold after
the experiment has been conducted for
five months. At that time, about
April 1, a cattle feeders’ convention
will be held at Htate College. The
cattle were purchased in West Vir.
ginia, and the horses at Chicago.
The feeding experiment will be con-
ducted to determine the effect of dif
ferent feeds for fattening purposes.

National A-sociation of Vegetable
Growers, in convention at Philadel
phia this week, said it was a mistake
for the growers to persist in their de-
mands for the complete elimination of
the middleman or commission mer-
chant,
* Fewer middlemen are desirable,
said Dean Watts, *‘ but it is folly to
think of feeding this country’s mil.
lions and marketing the great quanti-
ties of garden vegetable without the
assistance of the commission mer-
chant, To my mind he is an indis-
pensable factor in conducting the pro-
duce business. * The solution to the
cost of high liviog,"” said the Dean,
** lies in getting the producer aud coun-
sumer together, ’
To facilitate that plan be advocated
community growing of vegetables and
fruits, Esch town or small city should
grow pearly enough green vegetables
and fruits to supply i's demands,
That system would permit of low
trs peportation charges, smaller cost to
the consumer and greater profits to
the grower, because middleman
would be required.

Piscing Machinery for Ol Drillicg
Heveral weeks ago the Reporter
aiated that drilling operations for oil
were soon to begin near Rebersburg,
and the Millheim Journal of last week
stated that the first work of plscing
machinery had begun, The Journal's
sccount follows :
Leases on over six thousand acres of
land in Brush valley have been obiain.
ed by Ballivan & Goodwin, of Kane,
Oaly a few of the Brush valley farmers
refused to lease their lands. The
jeases were secured several years sgo
and the people generally thought that
there would be no prospeciing done,
but on Monday three carloads of well-
drilling machinery arrived at Coburn
and was hauled by Brush valley resi
dents to the farm of J, H, Gephart,
west of Rebersburg, where the first
test will be made. Foor men arrived
in an automobile from Kane on Tuee-
day and started to place the ma
chinery.
Before the leases on the land were
obtained Bullivan & Goodwin sent
taeir geologist to Rebersburg to make
an examination of the prospects for
oil in the locality, snd he reported
that Brush valley was in the same
geological stratuni™as the oll fields of
MoKesn county and a sample of sand
taken from the borings of a deep well
was tested and found to contain oil
snd to be similar to sand stratunas
found in the oil belt. In fact the lod
cations look so favorable that Bullivan
& Goodwin have decided to dig pro»
vect holes to test out the walley
wholly at thelr own expense,
