Mahler Glass Plant
v Has Been Leased
JKane People Propose to Oper
ate the Plant at DuBois
this Season.
There la very good prospects that
'the Mahler glass factory will be again
put In operation, and perhaps for a full
run the coming season.
Some parties from Kane haye been
'in town few days and it is under
stood that the plant has finally been
-secured by them by lease. They claim
to be Bohemian glass makers and they
understand the business. Monday they
were making preparations for gome
alterations and refitting the factory,
'Which has been idle for a long time.
The season is again almost at hand
-for starting up the fires in the glass
-factories, and the Courier has been
Jold that these parties want to have
'the plant in shape for starting at the
'usual time, or as near to it as possible.
It is possible that glass making will
begin before the first of October. Du

CONGRESSIONAL ASPIRANT.
Dr. J. T. Pendrr is an Able and
Worthy Man.
Dr. J. T. Peuder, pastor (J the
Blalrsvllte M. E. church, who is the
Prohibition caudldate for Congress In
the 27th congressional district, which
takes iu Jefferson couuty, was in lteyn
oldsvlllu last week and lectured in
Centennial hall Wednesday evening,
preaching In tho same ball Thursday
evening and preached lu the M. K.
church Sunday morning and evening.
Dr. Pender il,!d not seek the nomin
ation for congress, in fuct would rather
not have had the nomination, and so
stated when notified over long dis
tance telephone thut he would be
nominated, but also added that besides
being a minister of tbe gospel that he
was a loyal Amerlcau citizen aud
would not Bhlrk any duty. Dr. Pender
is not only an Itblo and eloquent preach
er, but he would be a worthy and
capable man to ropresunt the people
of the 27 th district in the congressional
halls of .this great country. He Is a
man of sou no judgment and well quali
fied for congressional timber. We will
likely have more to say about Dr. Pen
der's candidacy a little later. .
Good Roads Associa
tion Needed in County
Co-Operation of Supervisors
and People Gould Accom
plish Much.
If tbe supervisors of Jefferson
oounty could be brought together
annually, for a weeks session, on
some suoh terms and under such con
ditions as those which have been pro
vided for our school teachers, there
would be little doubt but that within
a very few years a system could be
evolved which would lesson wonder
fully the burdens of road taxation
and result in securing roads that
would be from 300 to 500, or more,
per cent better than that at present.
Other counties In many other states
have been experimenting for years
and out of theBe experiments has come
a plan that has never yet tailed whore
it has been given a fair trial.
The earth road Is by far the most
common type of highway in this coun
try. Its cheapness in comparison with
other types of construction and the
absence in many sections of the country
of rock, gravel, or other hard natural
materials for road building will render
its use necessary for many years to
come.
There are at present in this country
about 2,000,000 miles of such roads,
most of which must be maintained by
some means more or less inexpensive.
The split-log drag is of great service
on roads of this class, and an Increasing
mileage of the rural highways of this
country is kept in repair economically
and well by this simple implement. It
Is now in use in many states of the
Union and foreign countries also, and
its adoption in most localities where
there are earth roads will doubtless
increase rapidly. ,
One good Roads Association in tbe
county Acting in conjunction with a
supervisors' association would, within
a few years, work a marvelous chaige
in highway maintenance and construc
tion. Punxsutawney Spirit.
Plenty of Oas at aoo Feet.
Some months ago Daniel Wise
drilled a 58-foot well at his new resi
dence on Main street and got agood
flow of water and a little gas, but
later both failed. He decided to go
deeper and on last Saturday, Frank
Crytzer, of DuBois, moved a drilling
machine here and drilled again in the
same hole.
At 200 feet they got a high pressure
of gas, at a higher depth they have
found lots of water. They abandoned
the drilling Tuesday with lots of both
water and gas. If It proves necessary
to go deeper in order to hold the gas
a derrick will be built. Sykesville

On Wednesday, Aupust 12th, the

Reynoldsville and Tyler are now
members of the Mountain League,
taking the place of DuBois and Rldg

pace. The league Is in somewhat pre
carious condition and there is diffi
culty securing dates for the games con
venient for all tho toams. If It con
tinues in existence the balance of tbe
season, tbe Roynoldsville team should
stand an excellent chance of landing
the pennant. Tbe present make-up of

veterans who can be depended on to
play an uphill game till tbe last man is
out and in Arthur Carney have one
of the most promising young pitchers

Remarkable Scenic Panorama
on D. B. Moore Farm in
3 Washington Township,
One of the most beautiful soenlo spots
in this section of the state is to be
found on the D. B. Moore farm in
Washington township. From a high
hill In tbe rear of the bouse occupied
by Mr. Moore and his son, V. L., land
marks in nine townships of Jefferscn
county are visible and on a clear day
many of the towns and hamlets scat
tered over the rolling hills of these
districts may be seen. The farm Itself,
one of tbe oldest and most highly
cultivated in- the sootlon, lies in tbe
western portion of Washington town
ship; near it on opposite sides corners
of Wlnslow and Warsaw townships ap
proach; in the mean distance lie por
tions of Snyder, Knox and Plnecreek,
while along-the still more distant hor
izon may be discerned the faint blue
hills of Rose, Henderson and McCal
mont townships. There are points In
Winslow township wbere a more dis
tant prospect may be had in one direc
tion, but for a view to all the points
of the compass it Is doubtful if this
"observatory'' can be surpassed.

Save Five Percent on Taxes.
If you want to save 5 per cent on your
1908 borough taxes payment of same
must be made on or before August 31st.
Under date of July 8, 1908, 1 received
following; notice from secretary of
council: "Owing to the condition of
borough finances, the counoil, by reso
lution, Instructed the clerk to notify
the collector and bondsmen that settle
ment of the 1906 and 1907 duplicates
must be made within sixty days from
date thereof, otherwise suit will be
commenced on tbe bonds for each of
said years." This makes it necessary
for me to insist on payment of 1906

TO-DAY
Johnson & Hastings Met the
Committee and Submitted
a Proposition.
BASE PAY ON ACTUAL WORK
July 30," two wei-ks to-morrow, the
men employed on. the paving of Main
street, from Seventh street to borough
line, who were getting $1.50 for ten
hour day and getting paid oncea month,
struck for a nine-hour day. increase of
wages to $1.05 per day and pay every
two weeks. Tbsre was a meeting in
tbe Reynolds Park Monday evening to
try to get the matter adjusted between
Contractors Johnston & Hastings, but
Mr. Hastings was not at the meeting.
A committee, was' appointed to meet
Messrs. Johnston & Hastings Tuesday
forenoon, the committee waited On them
and the contractors made the following
proposition: All men return to work on
ton-hour day basis at $1.50 per day and
a strict account will be kept of amount
of work each man does In a day, and'
any that earn $1.05 per day will be paid
that much for each day's work. The
two weeks' pay will be granted.
The men are to meet at tbe office of
Johnston & Hastings at 10 00 a. m. to
day and take a secret ballot as to
whether they will accept or rejeot the
proposition submitted by the con
tractors. Double Track Nearly Completed.
It is expected that" double-tracking
and Btralghtening operations on the B.,
R. & P. between Brockwayville and
Carman will be completed this week
with the exception of the tunnel at
Empire. Portions of the new line have
been In use for several weeks and in a
few weeks all will be out in with the
exception of a single track around the
big bore.
Considerable difficulty has been found
in constructing the tunnel. The work
ers ran into a soft shale formation that
Is not self-supporting and by shifty
nature Is causing much trouble and in
convenience. Owing to this fault it
cannot be said when the hole will be
ready for rails. With parts of the new
line already in use tbe bad curves be
tween tbe two points named are elimi
nated and the distance shortened. With
double tracks the operation of trains is
greatly facilitated over a section that
for years has been one of the points on
the system wbere congestion of traffic
was likely to occur. Brockwayville"

prompted to say something in its favor,
