There ia a strong suspicion that tbis Is
another attempt to gobble up the water

It la quite wonderful tbe amount of
hauling a little good sleighing brings to
the surface. During the past two weeka
and especially within the last ten daya a
constant string of teams may be seen
passing and repassing through our streets
loaded with ties, lumber and other wood
materials to be loaded on cars at this sta
tion. When one reflects that twenty or
more years ago this sort of hauling was
supposed to be at an end In this vicinity,
It Is quite wonderful, we say, where the
material all comes from. Theflnealeigti
Ing, the best we've bad In years, Is a boon
to tbe operators, affording them the
easiest and cheapest transportation possi
ble, and the heavy lae on the river and
creek, making perfect Ice bridges, brings
tbe railroad transportation near to band,
as it were. One firm alone operating on
tbe east side of tbe river near President
figures that flvo hundred dollars will be
saved in hauling its lumber and tiea to a
convenient railrood aiding at Hanoi, the
sav'ng being made up of ferry tolls aud
shortening of distance.

Or else prepare to die."
I looked the old cuss in the eye
And saw my only chance
To escape this tough old wretch
Was to pay up in advance.

Brown filed a notioe that a protest would
be made and the authorities will send
him copies of all the plans as soon as
they are placed on file, aa well as giving

sique George Scowdeu was one of nature's
noblemen. Loyal to bis friends, just with
bis foes, and wllhal genial, kindly and
whole-hearted, no man ever bad more nr
better friend-s iu Ihe circle of a large ac
quaintanceship than be, and none stood
higher lu tbe estimation of the commu
nity in which bis whole life was spent.
Truly the oily of Meadville has lost
heavily in bis taking away.
About 20 years ago Mr. Scowden was
united lu marriage with Miss Daisy
Graham of Meadvllle, who, with one
daughter, Genevieve, survives him. His
parents, aged respectively 89 and SI years,
four brothers, E. A,, of South Sharon,
Fred. B, and James A., of Meadville, and
Joseph C, of Tionesta, and one sister,.
Mrs, Arthur Van Home, of Meadvllle,
also survive. The funeral services will
be beld this afternoon.
