Hi venae and Co., the sub-contract

•oad, who came last July with their
wtfit, prepared to begin work, but
tVere held up pending the financing
»112 the road, have made arrangements
A'ith Thomas Brann to winter their
nuleis, numbering 07 head, on the
'arm sold by (J. Innes to Brann and
Little, which has ample shed ac
•ommodations, and is situated just
jutside Canton borough.
A ton of hay a day is required to
eed the animals. While it is known
;hat no work will be done on the
*oad this winter, there are hopes
that the bondholders committee,
tvhich is now at work with encourag"
ng success may be able to make
tome arrangemept whereby work

Owing to the prospect that
the lulls, for fighting forest
[ires, will far exceed any ever
known, the state authorities are
taking precautions to guard agaiust
the passage of any fraudulent hills
hy counties, and warnings have been
sent out by [Auditor General Young
and Forestry Conklin.
The tires this year have been of such
great extent that the cost, of extin
guishing them bids fair to run be
yond the $73,000 available for pay
ment of the two-thirds for which
the commonwealth under the law
stands liable. The highest sum evei
reached by (ire bills in previous
years was 513,000.
! In his warning Auditor General
Young notes that the appropriation j
is likely to prove insufficient, and!
that while the legislature will doubt- j
less care for any deflcency it is de
sired to hold down the bill. He says |
in his letter to county commission-!
ers:
Both county and state are peculiar- j
ly liable to fraud in this matter, at
the hands of unscrupulous persons, i
The number of hours a day for each j
warden or deputy shouid be kept I
within the bonds of probability, j
The warden should be carefully
questioned with reference to the:
origin of the tire, its location and ex- '
tent the number of persons em-1
ployed by him and the number
of hours which each person worked.
C'are should be taken to eliminate
1 claims for fictitious persons physic
ally incapable of performing the
work.
| "It should aiso uv borne in mind
that no person or corporation has a
right to compensation for extinguish
ing tires on his own property, and
care should be taken to inquire into
all claims with this matter in view.
"Bills arc payable on January 1,
and whatever money is available
will be. disbursed pro rata on that
date."
Bryan's Star Has Set.
Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., Novem
ber ;l— William J. Bryan tonight re
ceived at his home "Fairview," the
which early told hiin that
for the third time he had been defeat
ed in the greatest ambition of his
life. Coniident of victory to the
very laat'the was not prepared to be
lieve that his cause was lost until
the pluralities of his Republican op
ponent pi'ed np in such proportions
as to leave no room fordonbt.
When the earlier returns came he
made particular inquires regarding
New York and found much en
couragement in the gains he was
making up-state over the Democrat
ic vote of 1804, but as «he figures
continued to be received he relied on
Greater New York to offset the
heavy Taft vote above the Harlem
aiver. liven in that he was biteer
ly disappoiuted and he soon realized
that the State was popelesely gone
and with it his prospects of being
elected.

A Republican.
William Howard Tuft was elected
President of thu llnittd .States l»y
majorities running well up toward
the colossal vote polled by Theodore
Roosevelt four years ago, when Al
ton B. Parker was snowed under
New York has gone for Taft by
about 220,001) which exceeds Roose
velt's plurality over Parker by 20,
000. (Jrenter New York went for
Taft, and yet Tammany trading did
not suffice to defeat Governor
Hughes, who will have plurality of
30,000 over Chanler.
Congress is certainly Republican,
with practically the same majority
that controled the last House.
Pennsylvania has rolled upa plu
rality of 300,000 for Taft and Sher
man.
Philadelphia gives Taft more than
100,000 pluralty, and Giltillan's plur
ality over Gibboney for Sheriff U be
tween 00,000 and 100,000.
Maryland is Republican by 10,000
and Delaware by 2500. West Vir
ginia is claimed for Taft by a ma
jority 30,000. Returns from Ohio
are usually late, but the indications
are it is Republican by decreased
figures with the race between Gov
ernor Harris and Judson Harmon
hotly contested.
The Middle West is solidly Re
publican, Bryan having lost Nebras
ka, his home State. New Jersey
has rolled up 80,000 for Taft, the
same plurality Roosevelt had four
years ago.
Hew "Old Glory."
Clevland Ohio, Oct. 2:srd.—John
Kisenman, the architect, proposes to
remodel the Star Spangled Banner.
He has started a movement to that
end which will reach Congress in
formal fashion this Fall. As an
architect, Kisenman says the Hag is
not Symetrical. Besides it has
other faults. What the G. A. It.
veterans who carried the banner in
to battle will say to the remodeling
effort is another story.
Kisenman has drawn a plan for
a new Hag, a Hag that will be sym
etrical. He will give this design
to the United States Government.
The principal change he wants is
dropping the union, the blue star
spotted Held from the upper left
hand corner to the middle ot the
hunting, in the Kisenman design
this union has stripes above as well
as below it. In addition to this the
architect proposes to color tho
origonal thirteen stars red and
make them six pointed, leaving the
stars for the other states white and
live poiuted, as they now are. The
Hag which curried but thirteen stars j
had six-pointed ones.
Still anther modification urged by
Hisenmau is the representation of
the Territories, possessions and Dis
trict of Columbia by white disks lo
cated among the white stars that
stand for the States. Arizona, New
Mexico, Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico,
fcho Phillipines and any other odd
bitflof territory acquired in the future
would be etftitled to disks. At pres
ent the blue field carries stars only
for states actually within the union.
Eisenman's argument is that his
scheme will allow for all future
growth by the United .States. If
Arizona and New Mexico were ad
mitted, for instance, it will not IK*
necessary to re-arrange the design of
the Union, as the case is now. Just
turn a disk already 011 the blue field
into a five-pointed star, and there
you are. Moreover his symetrical
design will admit of enlarging the
union in a fashion to retain the pro
portions of the tlag. With the pres
ent flag the union has been growing
as new Statt»s have been added,
while the rest of the flag retained
the same size as before.
Artists have objected that decorat
ors oould use the flag 111 but one po
sition because it would otherwise
; appear with the union upside-down,
in which position it is a signal of
1 distress. Mr, Biseuman argues that
his design would permit decorators
twisting and turning the folds iu
1 any fashion. In answer to the ob
jection th it this robs the standard of
its utility as it« distress signal, he ex
plains that ships which wisfc to use
it can fly it at half-mast.
