Dreher, March 3. Jce sufficient for this season's wants, is being gathered and stored and the ice famine that was threaten ed has been averted. Unless we should have a 'big fall of snow later in the spring and plenty of rain fall, there is likely to be a scarcity of wa ter to fill up the springs, wells and feeders for the larger streams, but it is some time yet until ploughing and planting time begins and no need to apprehend a short water supply.

TAFT GRANTS IIEIKE PARDON President Commutes Sentence of Sugar Weigher, Who Is III. Washington, March 3. President 1'nft commuted the sentence of Charles U. Heike, former secretary of the American Sugar Itellning company, who was convicted of complicity in the underweighiug frauds affecting that concern. Helko was sentenced to imprisonment for eight months and to pay a fine of $5,000 and costs. The sentence is commuted to the payment of the fine and costs. President Taft decided to show mercy in Heike's case on representa tion that the convleted man was III at his home. A physician sent there bj the department of Justice reported that Heike's condition was such that ini prisonement probably would cause his 3cath. Helke has been under ball since his conviction on Jan. 27. The United States supreme court affirmed his conviction, and since then strong efforts have been made to Induce the president to save him from the peni tentiary. An Investigation ordered by the attorney general resulted in In formation that led the president to grant tho commutation. Helke, who lives at 5(5 Montgomery street, Jersey City, was convicted of conspiracy to defraud the government In connection with the "sugar weigh ing frauds" at the customs docks In Brooklyn. He appealed from the' sen tence on the grounc1 that bocaufoe. as lie had testified before the rf Sacral grand Jury concerning the affairs of the American Sugar Refining company, ho could not legally be tried and pun ished.

Secretary Stimson Leaves Data For His Successor, Washington, March 3. The question of the renewal of the permit of the war department for the temporary ox tension of tho White Star piers In the North river probably will be one which Secretary Stlmson's Democratic suc cessor will have to decide at an early date.

DAMASCUS. Damascus. March 3. I Members of the Damascus branch of the Dairyman's League aro feeling Jubilant ovor the way matters in their lino aro shaping. They think the day Is not far distant when they will have a controllng power in nam ing the price of their lacteal product. Members of the M. E. church held their annual reunion in tho church on Thursday evening last. Tho weather conditions prevented many from attending who otherwise would had the weather been favorable. Riparian dwellers aro not disturb ed in feelings over the icy conditions of the Delaware this spring as it looks now as though it will lot them off easy. We havo two reliable noon-day marks hero In this " neck-o'-woods." Ono is tho Honesdale gong and tho other Is tho Standard Oil gong. This latter is localed at their pumping sta tion at a point between Cochecton and Skinner's Falls, whero the crude petroleum is forced up over the mountain. Both these gongs receive the time ovor tho wire, but the gong hero has stopped sounding before tho Honesdale sound has reached here. But this may bo accounted for by the sound from Honesdale having farther to travel. As sound waves aro com puted to travel 1088.4 feet per sec ond this would consume approxi mately about one minute in time for these sound waves to travel to this point in the Delaware valley, from Honesdale. The game laws will never bo as it should be so long as it discriminates against freeholders hunting upon their own possessions at will. These farmers pay a tax upon this land be sides the purchase money, and then, the Idea of a few men called "law makers" saying you must not shoot anything upon that property of yours only as we dictate to you. Is not that putting it pretty strong for a free and united country? Then, too, In the matter of fishing. No law should dictate to a man from propagating fish In privato waters and using them at will any more than he should be restricted from rearing and using domesticated fowls or animals. If you Intend to plant some fruit trees this spring and especially on clay bottom, try dynamite. About one-third of a Btick to each holo will give you satisfying results. If the hard pan be very thick and you want to break it deep, use more dynamite1. With this explosive most of the force is downward. If you are planting on very wot ground by using a strong force, and breaking up the hard pan to a greater depth it makes an under drainage. To get the best results the dynamiting should he done in the fall to let the frost act on the pul verized particles of hard pan or clay. After the explosion Is made some manure ought to be spread over the top. Before ready to set the trees these holes ought to he opened up to the sun and left a while to warm up. Try this plan. Milk producers around Galilee are just now gratified ovor the prospect of having another milk establish ment opened at that place at once. There have been many ups and downs In the milk business at that place since the first advent of a but ter factory there. The last few years in the management there put on tho cap shelf. Farmers lost heavily by company failures. Valentine Schold el, ono of tho members of tho late firm operating there opened up again at the old stand last April. But con fidence in him had been so badly shaken up that his patronage was small. Tho milk that formerly went to Galilee, went to Hankins, Calll coon, Cochecton and Milanville. Borden's sent teams to Galilee for the milk but charged ten cents a can for drawing it to their plant in Co checton. This reduced the profit to the producer. Messrs. Joffer and Perlham, New York City gentlemen, have looked the situation over at Galileo and have decided to establish a manufacturing plant there. They are negotiating for the Scheidal building. If they can buy this the building will receive a general over hauling. Concrete floors will take the place of the wood floor and all other improvements on the same line. If this building can not be bought satisfactorily they havo options on tho old cheese factory formerly own ed and operated by tho late George Abraham, now tho property of Ernest White. The two buildings aro only a few rods apart. Wo un derstand that the intention of the above Messrs. Joffer and Perlham are to manufacture all tho milk at their plant In Galilee either in but ter, cheese or cream, or into all of those products. They will contract with the farmers twice a year fixing a price then for the succeeding six months and make payments to the farmers every fifteen days or semi monthly. This Is ono good feature as letting It run a month makes the farmer wait too long for his money for the product he delivers. The pro ject is likely to bo beneficial to tho place as business has not been fairly active for tho past year. More peo ple will go there with milk and that means more trade for the merchants. When tho wheels of, industry hum all concerned wear broader smiles. That means something. (From Another correspondent.) Howard Keesler, of Rutledgedale, who is the mail carrier between Rutledgedalo and Damascus, had a very narrow escape from death while crossing tho railroad track in front of the Erie depot at Cochecton, N. Y., on February 27. Mr. Keesler had occasion to visit the freight house at Cochecton and while crossing the tracks to reach the other side, was hit by an east bound fast freight train, traveling at the rate of 32 miles per hour, and was thrown CO feet in front of tho train, landing him between the two tracks. Tho engineer on the train saw the acci dent and brought tho train to a standstill as soon as possible. There were a number of men standing nearby when tho accident occurred and all expected that the young man would be crushed to death, and it was only by a great miracle that be escaped, death. When picked up, the young man was conscious as to 'what waB going on and Insisted that ha bo allowed to walk unaided, which of course he was unable to do.

After being mado comfortable by the Doctor, ho was romovod to Damascus village, across the river, to the home of his grand father, David M. Berry. According to latest reports, he was as easy as could be expected, after having had such a shaking up. STEENE. Steene, March 1. Seward Tennant, a prominent law yer of Schoharie county, N.
