It provides that the big rocks which now block the channel at many parts of the river b* taken out whole and brought in flats to the river shore. These Mr. Morrell would raise to the ban., above the steps by means of a traveling steain crane running on the concrete path at the top of the wall. The big boulders would be laid as high as the flood line and being heavy would remain there. Pockets of soil would be arrange 1 for the planting of vines and the vines would be cut back to roots each Fall in order to prevent them from being pulled out by high water. Above the rip-rap thus formed Mr. Morrell would have a mixed planting of the following, with a possible use also, of small evergreens: Golden bell, dwarf bush honeysuckle, bridal wreath, Japanese barberry, fragrant white azalea, mountain laurel, dogwood hawthorn, dwarf deutzla, witch hazel, Kegel's privet, dwarf sumach, fragrant sumach, elderberry, flowering rasp berry, snow berry, coral berry, weigelia, wild roses, Japanese roses, creeping roses, evergreen honeysuckle, Virginia creeper, bittersweet, elimatis, low-growing willow, spreading Juniper, red cedar, Swiss mountain pine, Mugho pine. Thus the river would be cleared of rocks and the rip-rapping would be done at one cost. TRY TO THROW LABOR TO WILSON Organized Men Fear Scheme of Gompers Will Overthrow Cause Washington, Oct. 23.

The meeting is the result of the ses sion which dairymen of Dauphin and Cumberland counties held last week at the farm of A. J. Holtzman. The dairymen are plannig an increase in , price, it was said. At present they are [receiving 16 cents a gallon from city j dealers, who then sell the milk at cents. That an increase is inevitable is the opinion of the retaif men. They are now planning a fight to keep the wholesale price at IS cents a gallon during the entire year. This increase will necessitate raising the retail price to S cents a quart, they claim.
