COMMUNICATION UN MILK To the Intelligencer ; Too much cannot be said to bring about the sup ply of pure sanitary milk to our peo ple, but accurate knowledge should be posessed by those who essay to teach. This thought is suggested by tiie re marks of " Dairyman" iu your issue of 24th iust. He says '' beware of milk and cream that keeps sweet in warm weather." The caution to the reader it seems should have been to beware of milk or cream that does not keep sweet a reasonable time in warm weath er. If it does not it either has been produced or kept amid unsanitary sur roundings. This is so true that the better thought today condemns the pasteurizing of milk. For pasteuriz ing only kills the germs, that cleanli ness would not have permitted to en ter the milk in sufficient numbers to injure it and of course leaves them there iu a decaying condition. It is this that gives to pasteurized cream or milk its flat insipid taste. Inasmuch as it is the custom to pur chase milk daily to be usedduiing the day or at most during 36 hours it seems fair to presume that "Dairyman" casts suspicion on milk that does not turn sour within that time. The fact Is that milk produced under proper sanitary conditions and then kept iu a reasonably cool place will remain sweet for from fifty to sixty hours. At the Briar OlifT farm milk was drawn from oows after first placing them in quarters of absolute cleanliness and immediately bottled and senled under same conditions. These were sent to the dairy authorities at the Paris ex position. The milk was there opened twenty days after date of milking and found to be as sweet and fresh aB when drawn from the cows. It is not con tended that there wero no germs iu the milk. It is impossible to exclude them by our present method of draw ing milk from cows. But conditions were such as to prevent their multiply ing. It is the multiplication of germs that produce acidity and other bad tastes in milk. A misleading inference may be drawn from what "Dairyman" says about bottled milk. It is fair to pre sume that he dispenses his milk from the large can, either by dipping or by drawing from the bottom of the can. If secured by dipper the lid must be taken off and remaiu off for somo time to serve each customer. During all thiß time the milk is exposed to the dust—the dust with all its filthy sug gestions of the street. This is not all; the milk is drawn into an open vessel and this exposed in the house to the odors of the pantry or refrigerator. Only a little less objectionable are the conditions of drawing from the bot tom of the can. Hundreds and thou sands of the objectionable germs have ound entrance into the milk under these conditions. Connect this with the idea of bottled milk, where the milk is in a sealed bottle. Until bot tled nothing was in the milk except that which found entrance from the time of milking until bottled. The difference in favor of its purity aud cleanliness admits of no comparison. Dairyman having sufficient pride in their business and regard for the health of their customers to incur the expense and, it is no inconsiderable item to undergo the labor of bottling the milk, will have sufficient regard for the health of their customers to every day thoroughly cleanso and steri lize the bottle after use. It is within the last ten or twelve years that the bottling of milk has been adopted. At this time about one tenth of the milk of the country is iu bottles. An intelligent public senti ment will soon command that it all be ■old in that way. There can be nothing more import ant than supplying pure and sanitary milk to the public. Mauy among the best cientiflc minds of this and other countries are engaged in the problem of bringing it about. We are glad that In Danville we have such as "Dairy man" to call attention of the people to the subject. V. V. VINCENT. AID FOR GOOD ROADS. It would appear as if a way iiad been found by which the farmers of the United States may be brought to a full realization of the value to them of roadß that can be traveled with ease at all seasons. Postmaster General Cortelyou lias issued a statement iu regard to the policy of his department in the maintenance of the rural mail delivery service over the established routes, which ought to impress the value of good roads upon ruralites. Mr. Cortelyou states, '' wheu a rural agent or a postmaster reports that the roads traversed by rural carriers, are impassable, or in bad condition, the matter Is taken up by the department, through the postmaster, with tiie local road authorities, and due notice given that unless the condition of the road is improved it will be necessary to take steps looking to the withdrawal of the service from that vicinity. The rural mail delivery lias come to stay. Its extension lias been rapid from the start,and if any attempt were made to abolish it there would be strong protest from farmers in all sec tions the country. This being the fact, it is not difficult to see how the agrioulturiasts of the country can be oompelled to do their duty in tiie main tenance of good roads. This will not be a hardship iu tlia interest of mail service, but a direct benefit that will stimulate farm values and reduce the oOBt of transporting farm products to the'primary markets. Painters at Work. The work of painting tiie iron arms of the electric light poles, which was begun last fall, was finished yester day. Walnut street was completed be fore noon and during the afternoon the arms of the poles on Mill street were finished. The portable wooden tower with its two wheels so oddly adjust ed,.by whioh the painters reach tlio overhead work, was new to many per sons on Mill BtreeJ and they marveled muoh over the .odd pioee of mechanism until tiiey saw it put to uie. HON. J. G. HARMAN DECLINED Goodrich post, No. 22, G. A. R., during the coming month will be ac tively engaged in preparations for me morial day. The post has already been casting about for a speaker of note to deliver the address on the occasion. At a previous meetiug it was decid ed to invite Hon. John G. Harmau, of Bloomsbnrg, to deliver the address. Pursuant to instructions the secretary opened correspondence witli Mr. Har mau aud last night the post was in receipt of a communication from him iu which lie explained that, owing to prior engagements, he was obliged to decline the honor of speaking in Dan ville on memorial day. Several other speakers were suggested to the me morial committee, which will at once open correspondence witli the parties. The members of Goodrich post are very anxious to have a fine demonstra tion this year, embracing an old fash ioned march to the cemetery. Some of the members still consider themselves young and feel equal to the task of marching to the cemetery for several years to come. At tiie same time sev eral of the older members, who are among the loading spirits, last evening went on record as averring that there is scarcely a doubt but that the pres ent year will witness the last march by the veterans to the cemetery. Thin ning ranks and bodily infirmities that come with advancing years are doing their work aud the long inarch under the circumstances carries with it the most painful reflections and becomeß a burden and a hardship. In the future, therefore, the memorial day observ ances will bo much modified. The vet erans as a body, after the present year, will probably ride to the cemetery in the trolley oars. The patriotic address will be kept up in the future along with all the other observances of me morial day. Illegal Car Riders Arrested. A bunch of illegal car riders from Shamokin and Mt. Oarmel spent Sun day night iu the Sunbury jail, and some of them are likely to remain there until the strike is over. Thirty or forty Shamokinites went to Sun bury on freight trains Sunday morn ing. About Ave o'clock more than a hundred of them boarded a Peunsy freight train bound for Harrisburg. In the lower yards the cops went aboard aud the boys went afield, but not all of them. Eighteen or twenty were captured, handcuffed together and inarched to the jail. One bunch of ten was iu charge of three police men. There were three boys in the lot, the otliors being men, and some of them past forty years of age. The captures were made by the Sunbury police force. It is said flint the men and boys from the coal region do so much damage to property around Sun bury that it has become necessary to stop the nuisance. It was said in Sunbury that the au thorities threaten to ask the courts for the privilege of erecting and using a whipping post in an effort to make the town an undesirable place for illegal ridors. IMPROVED CASH REGISTER. Dr. W. R. Paules has installed a cash register in his drug store, Mill street, which is a marvel and would seem to represent the acme of attain ment iu inventions of that sort. It iB a cashier in itself and is more than human iu that it can not err. It is a national cash register of the very lat est make and has so many improve ments over those formerly in use that It is difficult to remember them all. The new invention besides embodying the general principles of the old,shows the amount iu each drawer aud the total iu all three drawers. It shows the number of customers waited on daily by each clork and the whole number of customers waited on daily. As the cash is received the register throws out a check for the customer indicating the amount,clerk, etc., aud explaining that a dollar iu caßli will be giveu to evefy customer who iB not tendered a correct receipt for the amount of the purchase. The cash reg ister is a very boautiful piece of work made of nickel aud finished iu ailvor aud gold. It is supported on a solid oak case highly polished. To Build New Home. Plans and specifications for the erec tion of a magnificent home have been placed in the hands of builders and contractors by W. F. Pascoe.oonstruc tiou engineer of the Shamokin Exten sion Company. Recoutly the well known street car man acquired several lots adjoining | those of M. H. Barr at Edge wood and the homo he contemplates erecting will bo one of the most beautiful iu that rapidly growing residence sec tion. It is estimated that it will cost at least (1&.000 to complete it. The plans aud specifications call for a strictly modern home in all its details and the general plan of the interior is similar to that of the home of Hon. M. H. Kulp. It will be a frame struc ture and the architectural scheme re sembles the old English homes, with a massive brick chimney on the one side and its veraudas and balconies on the other.—Shamokin Daily News. A Friendly Insect. It has been discovered in Brandon Park at Williamsport, that an insect resembling the "ladybug," is devour ing the San Jose scale, displaying a voracious appetite for that destructive insect. As the ladybug is entirely harmless so far as fruit trees are con cerned it would be a great scheme if enough of them could be secured to extermiuate the ravaging San Jose pests,although it might put the State's official bug hunters out of business. Coal Digger Being Repaired. LeDuc's steam dredger "Oity of Paris" which figured in the senßation al accident at the Catawissa river bridge a few weeks ago, wheu its machinery was pulled overboard by the low hanging telephone wires, Is beiug repaired at Catawissa and will soon be ready to resume operations on the river near Bloom, LOOKING FOB ARMORY SITE The subject of securing a site for a Armory is being discussed a good deal about town by those who have the welfare of Compauy F as well as the advaucemeut of the municipality iu view. Since the last meetiug of coun cil, wheu the matter was so forcibly presented by Captaiu J. B. Gearhart, several of our leadiug aud influential citizens have showu a keen iuterost aud have taken hold of the matter in a way that promises to bring about practical results. The part of town to which most per sons turn in casting about for a site for an armory is on Ferry street and there are several sites there that might be obtaiued at a very low figure, if the matter were rightly presented and the proper influences brought to bear. In presenting the mattor to council, Captain Gearhart explained that it by no means follows that the State will not buy land on whioh to erect the armories, if necessary. At the same time the view is takeu that those towns which reveal sufficient iuterost in the national guard to donate laud for a site will be the places whose ap plications for an armory will be first considered by armory board. Accordingly a number of towns iu or der to show their enterprise aud their appreciation of the guard, after the law was enacted at ouce got busy and long ago had dosirable sites rendy to offer the State free of cost. The secoud armory to be erected by the State will bo built at Mt. Pleas ant, Westmftrelaud county. The State armory board is also considering plans for the armories to bo built at Colum bia and Kaston. How soon Dunville's turn may come no one, of course, would venture to predict; but considering that the armory here lias been con demned by the State authorities, if the citizens take hold of the matter right ly, there would seem to bo no doubt but that our town may be remembered at an early day. ~ It is hardly likely that the owner of a plot of ground suitable could be in duced to donate its full value to the State,even though it would bo for the good of his town. About the best that could bo expected probably would be for the owner, In helping to secure an armory,to agree to sell the ground for a very moderate figure. This would mako it possible for the citizens,with out any very groat sacrifice, to unite in the purchase of the site and turn it over to the State. An armory such as required in Danville would be a pre tentious building and would cost at least $20,000. Something definite with reference to a proposed site will prob ably develop in a few days. State to Build Bridge. The Dauphin county court yester day handed down an opinion in the Mifflinville river bridgo case that in dicates that the bridge will bo built by the State. The opinion upheld the constitu tionality of the Rose bill, passed at the last regular session of the legislat ure, and makes it obligatory for the State to build the bridge. The trouble over the bridge grew out of the fact that according to the plans and specifications the bridge would cost too much. The attorney general and the Columbia county com missioners had met and included in the plans for the bridge some items that put the cost at a figure beyond all reason. The opinion of the Dauphin county court, therefore, contained an order denying the right of the attorney general and the commissioners to reach any understanding with regard to the bridge The viewers appointed for the bridge will reconvene and got up another sot of plans and specifications. Improvements at L). L. & W. The D. L. & W. railroad company has entered upon an important im provement in this city. It consists of macadamizing all the area about the station, which in its present form has always been objectionable in dusty and muddy weathor. To prepare for the macadam nearly a foot of ground will have to be ex cavated over the entire area owned by the company, which lies between the station and the railroad on one side and Blizzard's run on the other. Some thirty men were put to work yester day, consisting of the five repair crews of tin's city, Northumberland and Ru pert. Very good progress was made, the ground as fast as it was dug loose being loaded on the cars preparatory to being takeu to dry saw mill hollow where it will be usod in filling up along the track where a bad washout occurred recently. At certain seasons of the year all the area at the rear of the station be comes very muddy and to provide a better surfuce the railroad company a year or so ago asked the borough to co-operate with it in paving the spot and the roadways leading to it. The borough did not see its way clear to take hold of the matter as proposed and the improvement was dropped un til the present. Macadam may prove less desirable than a pavement, but it will bo a groat improvement over what has existed up to the present. KAIN NEEDED. Mont Derr of White Hall,drove into town yesterday. Mr. Derr is a pro gressive school teacher and as is nat ural with ouo raised in an agricultur al community is closely in touch with farming. In that part of the county, he Bays, the farmers are just now sow ing oats, a work which is often com pleted in the first half of April. A few are not yet ready to sow and are only ploughing the ground. Com planting, which ordinarily comes on about the i 10th of May, this spring will keop the farmers occupied until the last of the month. It is only here and there that much corn ground is ploughed at this date. To make the matter worse it is becoming very dry and if copious rains 1 do not soon fall it is feared that the 1 ploughing will be rendered very diffl- I cult. IThe festive bug already begins his ! riotous but brief career. FILLING DP THE CANAL The Reading Iron company has solv ed the problem of getting rid of the old canal and has demonstrated that those who held to the view that it was practicable to fill upj.the old water way were wholly right in the prem ises. It will be news to many of our townspeople to learn that the Reading Iron company iu disposing of its daily accumulation of ashes and cinders in the period of about a yearjhas obliter ated the old caual for a distance of over one thousand feet. £W here former ly lay the old ditch with its reeky bottom overgrown with weeds now is a surface of clean cinder perfectly smooth and raised to the level of the bank on each side of the canal. By means of a temporary track the cinder is run down the caual in the cars aud dumped just where it is want ed. It was just such a scheme as this that those persons had in view who advocated co-operating with the D. L. & W. railroad company in getting rid of the caual. The railroad company, it will he recalled, agreed to pipo the canal provided the borough would agree to fill it up, takiug whatever time was necessary, within a reason able limit, to complete the work. It was understood at the tiuie that the ciuder, etc., accumulating at the diff erent iudustries would be available for the purpose. It is significant that the product of one industry alone has ob literated the old caual along such a great distance, which corresponds to a section of the old waterway reach ing from the aqueduct to a point above Piue street, where it still lies open and promises to bo a nuisance for years to come. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Writes About Memorial Day. An interesting letter lias boeu re ceived by Goodrich Post from James Tanner, commander-in-chief of the G. A. R. The letter doals with Memorial day and is a very interesting epistle. It says in part: "We have been ob serving this day evor since our belov ed Logan instituted it in 1888. This year, comrades, we are crossing the broad river at the rate of 5,000 a month, 60,000 a year ; soim the great majority will be sleeping their last sleep, and it is our privilege now, as it has been for many years, to pay loving tribute to tlioir memory by decorating their graves with flowers, which, starting fortli from mother earth with each re curring spriugtimo, are emblamatic of a resurrection to a glorious immortal ity. "We have returned the battle stan dards of the dead Confederacy to those who treasure them as sacred mementos of their loved ones who died under them. The Congress of the United States lias just unanimously voted 1200,000 to care for the graves of those dead, and the heart of the Nation has said, with srreat unanimity, "It is well" Unitedly we inarch along the highway of nations, roso bushes blossoming over and around, and the birds nosting in the mouths of the can non that once roared defiance and death at each other,the world applaud ing, our conscience approving."

Solomon Cherry, the well known engineer oil the S. H. & W. division of the Pennsylvania railroad,died sud denly at his home at Nescopeck yes terday afternoon at 12:30 o'clock. He had been sufferingjwith Bright's dis ease for somo time and for several months had been unable to report for duty. THE LOWEST YET. Eggs are still dropping in price. Each of our stores has a largo stock on hand and it is only natural that they should fall. One of our morchants yes terday displayed a large basketfull of choice looking eggs marked cent* per dozen. Caught Under Ton of Earth. Nathan Creasy, ex-chief burgess of Catawissa, while inspecting a sewer trench,yesterday afternoon, was caught by a cave-in and buried under a ton of clay. It was 15 minutes before the workmen could release him. Mr. Creasy was unharmed. K. a. E. Voted $25. At a meeting of Montour castle, No. 186. Knights of the Golden Eagle,held last evening, ail appeal was received from the Grand Castle, of Pennsyl vania, for funds for the San Francisco sufferers. Montour castle promptly voted $25 for the worthy cause. Deaths and Births In Columbia. The deaths exceeded the number of births in Columbia county in April.

A program of some ten num bers will be rendered on the occasion.

The road repaired for half a mile skirts the base of Montour ridge and the serpents, venomous and otherwise, which have been hibernat ing during the winter are just wiggl ing out of their torpid or lethargic state and preparing to resume their old haunts. In all, the men killed ten snakes, in the number being three copperheads. Among the latter was the largest cop perhead ever seen in this section,mea suring a trifle over three feet in length The big reptile might have bitten Har rison Paugh, one of the workmen, and it is probably owing only to the fact that it had not wholly passed out of its torpid state that it did not sink its fangs into his hand. The men were cleaning out the gut ter at the foot, of the ridge. Twice Mr. Paugh had reached down and with his bare hands had scraped to gether the leaves and other trash and was returning for the third armful when he'saw the suake half hidden among the rubbish that remained on the spot, partly coiled and ready to strike. To say that the man was fright ened is putting it mildly. The reptile was easily killed. APPRAISEMENT OF MERCANTILE TAX Of Montour County for the Year 1906.

Al though away from the built-up por tion it probably proves one of the most expensive thoroughfares to keep safe and in good repair, as for half a mile it runs along a high embank ment and lias to be protected by a guard rail. Street Commissioner E S. Miller with a force of workmen Saturday completed the annual repairs on North umberland street and it is safe to say that the thoroughfare was never in such complete condition before. Not only have the gutters been cleaned out roadbed repaired but a practic ally new guard has been erected along the entire length. This is a feature, especially, which was never in such perfect condition before. Iu all, there are 180 posts, securely planted, fifteen feet apart, carrying a rail iu the form of iron pipe 1% inches iu diameter. Of the posts planted 110 were new, the balauce being those which were used before and only needed to be replant ed. Formerly for a considerable dis tance wooden rails were used, but at the last meeting of council it was de cided to throw these out and to use iron exclusively. At a point of the road below the Reading iron works where the switch was formerly located the road was widened from 12 to 20 feet. Longenborger, C. & M. Lyons, C. S, McLain, G. L. Lore, J. W.

Good, and fatally iu juring Fireman C. H. Lefever, and Brakeman J. J. Willower, all of Har risburg. The engineer's body was found half submerged iu the Susque hanna river nearby. It is believed the locomotive struck a stick of ilyuamite accidentally drop ped oil the track by workmen engaged in railroad improvements. SPRAY THIS SPRING. Prof. H. A. Surfaee, the state zoolo gist iii his April bulletin,says: "Trees infested with Sail Jose scale should be sprayed or washed again this spring with the liuie-sulphur wash, boiled one hour, regardless of the treatment that was given them last fall and win ter. Even if they were properly spray ed then, it is improbable that all the pests were killed. The best possible measure for the destruction of the scale and the safety of the trees con sists of giving them a double coatiug again this spring. Spraying can be done as late as the time when the green leaves show in the buds, but af ter the green leaves are out there is dangor of destroying them by apply ing any material that is strong enough to affect the San Jose scale. It is es pecially important that trees previous ly treated by any other material than the boiled lime-sulphur wash should be covered with this mixture this spring in order to save theiu. It is by far best to be on the safe side, and all trees that have been treated with noth ing more than the so-called "Limoid" or "K-L," "Scalecide," and other commercial insecticides or unboiled lime-sulphur mixtures should be spray ed again this spring, if the owners really care to save them. "Nick" Longworth is glad that Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson has been nominated for Congress in Alabama. Longworth has been the star feature so long that he will be pleased to retire in favor of Hobson. My H Ran Away Don't have a falling out with your hair. It might leave you! Then what?
