HISTORIC TREES OF
LANCASTER COUNTY
INTERESTING ARTICLE BY JOS.
S. ILLICK, CHIEF OF RE-
SEARCH, PA. DEPT. OF
FORESTRY
“When the white man came to
Lancaster County, he was confront-
ed by an endless wilderness. Dense
stands of big forest trees covered
every acre of the fertile soil that is
now among the most productive in
the United States.
Hardwood forest trees prevailed
in the original forests of the county
The oaks, hickories, and walnuts
were common in the fertile valleys.
Chestnut and chestnut oaks prevail-
ed ont mountain slopes and
ridges. A ft maple, river birch,
swamp hickory, willow, and other
moisture-loving trees bordered the
rivers and their main tributary
streams.
The fertile soil that Lan-
caster famous as an agricultural
county also produced big and state-
ly forest trees. In the original for-
ests of Lancaster County occurred
some of the finest stands of white
oak that have been found in the en-
tire range of this valuable forest
tree. Most of these fine stands were
cut to make way for settlement and
agriculture, and to supply the de-
mand of wood-ucing industries. To-
day less than 15 per cent of the
total land area—once completely
stocked with forests of big trees—

forest trees. Most of the forest |
stands that are left have been cut |¢

little resemblance to the glorious
forests that once covered every
valley and all the hills.
Here and there one
grove of magmificient trees that
have been preserved by some gen-
erous landowner and tree lover.
These few glorious groves are all
that is left to help build up a pic-
ture of the forest heritage that was
available to our forefathers. Indi-
vidual trees have also been preserv-
ed—some for their historic value,

TWO BLACK PANTHER OIL
OFFICIALS FOUND GUILTY
Max W. Friedell, of Marion, Ind.
and Harry E. Lindley, Harrisburg
Pa., president and treasurer respect-
ively, of the Black Panther Oil and
Refining Company, were found
guilty in a Philadelphia court of
charges of conspiracy, false pretense
and circulation of an erroneous
statement as to the financial condi-
tion of the oil company.
A jury in the Philadelphia Quarter
Session Court returned the verdict
within a few hours after the case
had been placed in their hands.
Friedell and Lindley has been ac-
cused of fraudulent conversion of
more than $1,250,000 of stockhold-
ers’ money. There are many invest-
ors in Lancaster county, quite a bit
of the stock having been sold here.
Pending argument for a new trial
the sentences of Friedell and Lind-
ley were deferred.

FIREMEN’S FESTIVAL WAS |
AN ALL AROUND SUCCESS
One of the most successful festi-
vals held here in a long time was
conducted by Friendship Fire
Company on Friday and Saturday
evenings. The weather was ideal, the
attendance good and a neat sum,
was realized for the fire laddies
The vocal music by the Dixie Cho-
rus, composed of local talent, made
a big hit with the crowd and was
quite a drawing card. Many useful
articles were contested for.
Jake Brown's band furnished the
music. Over $1600 was taken in on
both nights and a neat sum will be
left after the expenses are paid.

STATE POLICE UNEARTH
A MAMMOTH DISTILLERY
State Police Tuesday unearthed
the biggest distillery found in this
part of the state. It was located in
the Indiantown Gap region near
Harper’s. An entire farm house was
devoted to the manufacture of
“moonshine.” Before the police left
they had confiscated one thousand
gallons of crange, prune, raisin and
{peach mash; two fifty-gallon capa-
leity stills; twenty-five gallons
of finished liquor; fifteen hundred
pounds of sugar; many cases of
prunes, peaches, oranges and raisins,
fifteen gallons of kerosene; two oil
stoves; thirty-five gallons of gasoline
and a brand new gasoline engine and
pump. When the police arrived on
the scene they were dumfounded to
see the great distillery which was so
well equipped that it had a capacity
| of approximately 100 gallons of li-
quor a day. The owners of the
property have not yet been located.
The police discovered that the prop-
recently transferred to
Harrisburg real estate firm, who, in
| turn transferred it to a Harrisburg
| pory, Arrests are expected soon.
