THURSDAY EVENING, HARJRISBTJRG TELEGRAPH SEPTEMBER 4, 1919.
SNYDER COUNTY HAS
BIG VIRGIN
Mountain Historian Says Great Tract Should Be Made Into
State Park and Named For Former Governor
and Distinguished Pennsylvanian
Middlcburg, Pa., Sept. 4.
Through the recent visit of 1 Col.
Henry W. Shoemaker, President of
the Pennsylvania Alpine Club,
member of the State Forestry Com
mission, and Pennsylvania's chief
historian of mountain stories and
mountain animals, Snyder county
has been placed on the map as hav
ing the greatest virgin forest this
side of the Mississippi, even sur
passing the Cook tract which is es
timated worth a million dollars.
The forest lies in Jacks Moun
tains. Snyder county, about five
miles from Troxelville. Col. Shoe
maker thinks it should be made a
State Park 'tvid named in honor of
Governor Simon Snyder, who was
a resident of Snyder county, and
served as Governor from 1809 to
1816, and Hon. Nqr Middlesworth,
another distinguished son of Snyd
er county, who was a captain in
the War of 1812, was elected thir
teen times a member of the Legis
lature and was twice Speaker of the
House, was a member of the Senate,
two terms in Congress, and one
term of associate judge.
Col. Shoemaker says: "That for
est is the crowning jewel of Snyder
county and is one of the greatest
sights east of the Mississippi. It
should be named the "Snyder-Mid
dlesworth State Park," after her
two most illustrious sons, and pre
served for the people of Snyder
county forever. It surely makes
the $1,000,000 Cook tract look like
a bunch of brush. Those trees are
of more impressive interest than
Watkins Glen and a dozen other
Rides on Cows Back

Glea Rock, Pa., Sept. 4.—Refus

mer to ride a cow in a field which
they were passing. Britton leaped
the fence and onto the cow's back.
The animal bolted and threw its
rider off head foremost. Britton's
head struck a pointed stone and he
was rendered uncouscious and was
badly contused and cut about the
scalp, also sustaining injuries to the

Levi Ellmaker Is Dead

schools of the city. He spent three
I years in West Chester Academy, and
three years at the College of St.
James, in Maryland. After leaving
college Mr. Ellmaker went to Cole
brook Furnace, Lebanon county,
with the Colemans, remaining there
three years, then spent two years in
Kansas and returned to Lancaster in
1858.
After being in active practice with
his brother for some years, failing

f noted resorts. We went in to stay
1 fifteen minutes and remained over
two hours, entranced by this su
perbly impressive shrine, where na
ture speaking through the branches
of the giant hemlocks and pines,
breathed the spirit of beauty and
conservation and of true reverence
of Eternity.
"Snyder county should be called
the 'Scenic County of Pennsylvania."'
In the west branch of the Mahan
tongo, you have the most beautiful
stream in the United , States a
stream unsung by any poet, and
never described by writer's pen, yet
exceeding in beauty the Wissahick
on or any stream I have ever seen.
"In the culminating pinnacle of
Jacks Mountain you have a height
grander than old Greylock in the
Berkshires. Your islands and wat
er front on the Susquehanna excel
the famed 'Thousand Islands.' I
hope the day will come when I can
be present at the dedication of the
'Snyder-Middlesworth State Park,"
and that Snyder county will ap
preciate and enjoy that matchless
gorge of virgin timber."
When the Pardees owned that
timber, they had a faithless manag
er, Who was tired of cutting those
big trees and when 217 acres of these
large trees still remained standing,
he reported to his boss that the
timber was all cut. Mr. Pardee
then sold the land to the State, with
the belief that all the timber had
been cut. Through the dereliction
of this man, the State fell into the
posession of this virgin timber, and
too at the price of denuded moun
tain land.

The loss probably will reach about
$15,000, all of the roller skates that
were in the building, together with
furniture were saved. This is the
third Market House that has burn
ed down. In the big fire of 1910
the fire started in the building
known as the Central Market
House, which later was rebuilt. In
1898. on the same site the building
was destroyed by fire.
Gne of the Steelton fire trucks
was sent for, and responded
promptly. Work on saving the
homes on the North side of Emaus
street was very difficult work as
the heat was intense.
The building of J. D. Brenner,
junk dealer, along the P. & R.
tracks also caught fire and was part
ly burned. This was the second fire
at the junk yard within the past
yea r.
The building burned down was
200 feet long and sixty wide. The
loss is partly covered by insurance.
Had it not been that the wind
blowing towards the South, Middle
town would have been visited by a
fire similar to that of 1910.
