The bill also provides for therepoalof all othor laws relating thereto. With the statute books iu their presont shape, there is chance for litigation in tho fact that log catch ers claim that tho net of ltWi) upplies only to lodged logs and theexchauge claims it applies ulso to caught logs. The act of 1SH9 provides for a salvage of CO cents per 1000 feet of logs. Tho log catchers claim that the act of 1H07, which provides for a sulvage of 30 cents ou each log, is still in forco. Here there is too much room for liti gation. The passago of this bill will silence all doubt us to claims for sal vage on logs caught during future freshets.

One of the most essential factors in the proper management of a rail way, and the prompt and safe hand ling of passengers and traffic, is a form of discipline which shall so edu cate employes that a maximum effi ciency for all may be obtained from a minimum punishment of individ uals, by making punishment of the individual secondary to the educa tion of th entire force. Such dis cipline must produce results of a permanent character, and beneft alike the employe aud the employer. The above policy has been closely followed by the Pennsy company and the result ia plainly evident to everyoue. A Chance to Make Money.

Last summer Professor John Hamilton, of State College, was elected Supervisor as a joke. Professor Hamilton sent out return postal cards asking the citizens of his jurisdiction whether or no he could use the cash plan, employing laboring men at current rates. Two thirds of the citizens answered fa vorably. The result was a lower tax and better roads. Professor Ham ilton simply used the same method that a farmer uses in his business with the additional result that the road money went to the laborer out of employment or business. And yet the laborer was at the start head and front against the plan, says the Centre Hall Reporter,
