Over a dozen persons arrested recently in the crusade of the De partment of Fisheries against those responsible for pollution of streams along the AVest Branch of the Sus quehanna and the Sinnemahoning liavo asked for extension of time to install disposal plants. The persons arrested, it Is stated at the depart ment, had defied tho efforts of the fish wardens to stop pollution, ibut lately evidences of a general move ment to get togqther on plans turned up. Tho State authorities will grant brief extensions, but will not allow any further concessions. The dis posal works must bo put in, declares Commissioner N. R. Buller. Tho county of Union, consider ing its small population. Is believed to lead all other counties in Pennsyl vania in tho number of resident hunters' licenses Issued.

War ren of the Everhart Museum, that up to 'November 29th, inclusive, he had issued 1,232 one dollar licenses and ono ten dollar non-resident li cense. Besides thla large amount of licensed hunters there are said to be quite a number of farmers and oth ers, who hunt on their own and ad joining lands in Union county, and they, of course, do not have to take out the resident license. Tho suit for recovery of ?145, 000 in fines and penalties from tho borough of Coudersport for failure to erect a disposal plant for its sewage and for tho extension of sowers in do flance of State decrees is likely to be followed by several other actions against municipalities which .have paid no attention to the orders from the Governor, Attorney General and Commissioner of Health to Install sewage disposal plants. In the Coudersport case the fines are com puted from 1905 and form tho largest sum over demanded from any town in the series of suits brought b? tho Commonwealth. In these actions the Stato has won every time. Hones dale needs a better system of sewage disposal. Saturday was a good business day for the merchants.
