The county commissioners have ndvertieed to lot the oontvnct tor an irou bridge nt Rowlands tomorrow. There nro two span in the present structure and the total length of the bridge is 190 feet. The pier Is bndly damaged. While a one span bridge would cost considerably more than a two spun, yet, considering the cost of a now pior, probably 11000, which, however well and substant ially constructed, would, always in the swift current of the river, be a menace to -the structure, it woula Beem advisable to make but one span. The cost of a pier added to the one span ought not to make the total much greater than a two span bridge, and it would be much safer in the end. If any one around here wanted to hunt the north pole this week il might probably have been found on the Knob. Mercury freezes at 39 below 7-ero. P. M. Nilis was elected president of the board of county commission ers at their meeting Monday. The Dispatoh this week reproduced the report of the Formers Institute, held here, from the Pntcss of last week.

A most hearty ami cordial welcome in extended to all to worship with ns. Next week we shall continue the week of prayer under the leadership of the Rev. Francis E. Smith of the Presbyterian church of Port Jervis. Mr. Smith has a very high, because it Is a scriptural, ideal of the Chrl. tinn life and it will be his object to present such themes as will quicken and deepen our Christian lives. 1 am sure the community Bt lnrr will miss a great deal if they do in I oome to hear Mr. Smith Monday evening Ho will bo with ns tl.e first of the week if not longer. Yen are invited to come. The Woman j' Missionary eociu'.y held its annual election of ofllceis last Wednesday evening and Mr Goorge Mitchell was chosen prcsi dent for the coming yenr. Mi.-.. Cross was elected secretary nml Mtb. John C. Westbrook was chosen as the treasurer. This is an fm important society and is doing n good work. We bespeak their as. sistonoe by every woman in the churcti. They deserve and need you all. The pastor was presented with a handsome purse the first of the week as a holiday remembrance from the congrcgution. To say that he is grateful is only a mild ex pression of the truth. He feels gratified and pleased not only because of the amount of the gift but because of the expression of goodwill which it manifests on the part of the congregation. If a minister feels he is not desiroble to a people or that bis efforts are not appreciated it is very hard for him to do even his duty. Your pastor does not feel this way but this remembrance gives new spirit and joy to his work. He thanks you all and expresses his especial gratitude to those who flrBt thought of the gift and also to those who were instrumental in collecting it. Reformed Church Notes. (By Rut. A. J. Meyer of Montague.) The holiday social of the Willing Workers society of Montague netted over 117. This organizat on, only a month old, is to be congratulated upon its first effort. We trust that the future will only have good things and continuous prosperity in store for it. The officers of the society are : President, Miss Marga ret Westbrook ; Vice President, Miss Lily Cole ; Seoretary, Miss Edna Morrill ; Treasurer, Harry Cortright. The holiday social of the Haines ville Doroaa society was held at the home of Mrs. James M. Stoll, and was largely attended. Ice cream was served. The buui of 114 was added to the treasury as the result. The hearty thanks of tho society are extended to Mrs. Stoll for open ing her house, which is very com. modious and well adapted for social purposes. James E. Stoll gave some very delightful selections with his graphsphono, and games and music caused the hours to flit away very pleasantly.- Communion services will be ob served Sabbath morning, the ten being Thib do in remembrance of me. The Consistory will meet in the church parlors before the service to welcome any who wish to unite with us in Christian followship. The evening topic at Hainesville will be, Lord teach us to pray.

It often seems to work though no one has ever told why. When mothers are worried because the children do' not gain strength and flesh we say give them Scott's Emul sion. It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it. Scott's Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs. Children take to it naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be cause it is so perfectly adapted to their wants. For all weak and pale and thin children Scott's Emulsion is the most satisfactory treat ment.

Myer of Monta gue and O. S.Oarretson of this place assisted in the oerenionios. A. Muller and wife and W infield Lnkin of Brooklyn visited the family of Oscar Lnkin recently. Reeder Morgan and family have moved to the farm of Mrs. A. M. Mettler in Sandyston. From the number of stone and concrete buildings In Mil ford it would seem that that lovely village had reached the' stone age. The nVw school house is a fine structure and an ornament to the town. If New Jorsey had a Macadam road from Layton to Port Jervis it would be a Dne drive for city board ers to go up on one sido of the river and oome back on the other. Our people, both those who go from necessity and for pleasure to Biauohville, N. J , would like to see an easior road from the bridge aoross the hill. One could be built without great expense. The report from Bandyston that the meetings of the Farmers Insti tute were well attended and that a grange might be orgauized shows that seotion to be progressive. Trolley roads and free rural mail delivery, are two great booms and will give impetus to every commu nity where they are introduced PAUPAC- We are having, as tho little girl remarked, "vory oold weather, it was way down below Arizona." Henry Bennett has returned from his annual stay at Bcranton. Mrs. Zimmerman returned from New York last week. George Wilson and a few other public spirited oitizons determined that the new bell for White school house should ring out the old and ring In the new, defied the oold and stormy weather, and went at it with n will and cold fingers. As a result the near neighbors were pleased to hear the mournful tolling for the departing old and tire jubilant we), ooming of the new year. We are well pleased with our new bell. It Is of good tone and we are tnre that its sweet voice, will be as musio in our ears. Now number four let us hear from you. . . , We are pleased to hear of the im proved condition of Mrs. F. Martin. Lela Clark is on the sick list. " The kids got two more days of vacation than was intended for 'em. The teacher not returning to open school till Wednesday.

All dniriist, TIMBER WEALTH OF FAR WEST. Wher ths Heart of th American Timber Belt Is Now. In the United States the heart of the lumber belt baa moved westward. At the beginning of the last century almost the entire wood supply cams from the then untouched foreBts of the Penobscot lilver region of Maine. As the woodsmen cut deep Into the heart of the wood the Industry was forced to find other Belds from which to draw Its supply, and the vir gin forests of the South and of the States bordering on the Great Lakes were cut Into. Although these re gions are by no means depleted to day, the Pacific coast is rapidly be coming the heart of the lumber trade. And what wonder, for in the three States of California, Oregon and Washington, there Is at least one third of the entire supply of standing timber in the United States. In fig ures, It amounts to more than 600,000, 000,000 feet of uncut wood. The forest reserves and national parks set apart by the United States government within the limits of these three states aggregate an area or 32. 428 square miles or more than i'l per cent, of the total wooded area of the states. In the State of Oregon alone, where a careful examination has been made, the national census officials have estimated the standing timber on these reservations at 5.",000,000,000 feet, or one-fourth of the States total supply.
