PRISON LABOR DIVISION SUP-
ERVISES BIGGEST OPERA-
TION EVER ATTEMPTED IN
STATE BY ROCKVIEW NUR-
SERY
The Prison Labor Division, State
Department of Welfare, has re-
cently completed what is probably
the largest singe tree transplanting
operation ever attempted in Penn-
sylvania, at its Rockview Nursery,
Western State Penitentiary, Belle-
fonte.
Seedling evergreen to the number
of 1,350,000 were transplanted in
beds four feet wide with paths be-
tween for the purpose of weeding
and cultivating. The total length
of these beds is three and one-third
miles. The trees, which are of two
kinds—Norway Spruce and Doug-
las Fir—were grown in the nursery
from seed. All work was done by
inmate employes.
The trees were three years old
when transplanted. The transplants
will remain in the beds for a per-
iod of one to two years, when they
will be lifted. packed and shipped
for reforestation purposes. :
At the average rate of
trees per acre, the trecs
from this trensplanting operation
will reforest 1080 acres of idle
land. Under normal conditions the
estimated yield of lumber from
this transplanting in 60 years would
be approximately 30,000 feet per
or a total of 32,400,000 board
feet.

TWO DEER KILLED THUS
FAR THIS SEASON IN CO.
Few deer have been seen, and
only two shot so far as known,
during the present hunting season
in Lancaster county.
John Haverstick, county game
protector, said Thursday he had
learned of two deer killed in Cole-
rain township. One, a’ ten point
buck weighing 168 pounds, was
brought down by Ira Schuller, and
the other, a five prong animal
weighing 115 pounds, was shot by
Robert Brown on the Lancaster-
Chester county line.
Half a dozen deer were shot in
the county during the first week
of the 1931 season, and many does
were seen. In York county this
year hunters have secured 23 buck

The Robbers Have
Police Baffled
WITH-
OFFICIALS ARE STHU.L
OUT CLUES IN MOUNTVILLE
BANK ROBBERY CASE —
THINK SHOT GUN AND RE-
VOLVER WERE STOLEN
The police, in their investigations
appear to be without any tangible
clues, which might lead to the hide
out of the bandits who on Wednes-
day afternoon held up three em
ployees of the Mountville, Lancas-
ter county National Bank and es-
caped with $7,500 in cash.
The most important progress
made Thursday as the intensive
search and investigation continued
was the discovery of an automatic
rifle and a sawed-off shotgun which
were found within 50 feet of the
spot where the bandits changed au
tomobiles near Kinderhook follow-
ing the holdup.
The weapons were found by Miss
Barbara Roland, of near Ironville,
who was walking near the Detwil-
er sand quarry at Fox Hollow, be-
tween Kinderhook and Ironville.
Both weapons apparently had been
tossed into the nearby bushes as
the bandits changed clothing after
abandoning the car they had stolen
and before climbing into their own
machine.
Officials of the bank also report-
ed Thursday that a sawed off shot-
gun which had be®n kept inside the
bank cage for protection = against
bandits’ and a forty-year old revol-
ver which had been kept in the
bank since it was opened, were tak-
en by the bandits.
State Police also apparently were
not seriously considering William
Hancock and Clair Bradigan, both
alleged big-time racketeers who
figured in a Columbia murder two
years ago, as suspects in the hold-
up. Constables operating from the
office of Alderman William T.
Kline continued their search for
Hancock, Bardigan and others, how
ever.
The bank opened as usual Thurs-
day morning with Clarence Gable;
cashier; Paul Shopf, assitsant cash
ier, Miss Mary Dirk, clerk all back
at their regular posts.
A reward for the apprehension
of the bandits was posted Friday.
