No prepara- tions are in progress for any bnew buildings whatever. This is in line with the Government's policy of do- ing as little new work as possible dur- ing the progress of the war, One of the prime reasons for this Is the im- poesibllity of securing the necessary fron and steel for reinforced work. Another reason, of course, Is the un- certainty of shipments of avy kird of material, In the absense of building operations the 542 inmates of the Rockview insti- tution will be utilized In cultivating the more than 8,600 scres of farm land connected with the institution, and In the construction of up-to-date roads through the prison grounds, a A—————— The Milroy opera house was discov. ered on fire on Saturday morning but flames were extinguished before much damage resulted, he DEATHS, Perry Thompson McKinney, the last surviving Civil var veteran in bie district, passed away at bis home a!

The per captia for the eastern section of the State, composed of 48 countles, for tbe week was 7 cents, and sipce January 1st is 73 cents. $3.45 leads all counties in the United states. Columbia and Bullivan coun- ties passed the $2.00 per capita mark, and Cameron, Carbop, Clinton, Com- berland, Elk, McKean, Monroe, Mon- tour, Pike and Wyoming counties have passed the $1.00 mark. It is however very gratifying to nc- tice the exceptional increased interest in certain scotions in our county, es- pecially during the week March 2ad, I have every reason lo believe that Centre county, in the re- port that will reach this office op March 9.b, will show that we have reached the $1.00 mark, Snow Bhoe, Millbeim and Centre Hall Borcughs are all making large gains, Reports received here on Bat- urday last show excep'ional interes! in several other towne, as will be seep by the following per capita statement : Unionville. . . , «$6.90 Port Matilda . . , $6.67 .
