The Furnace Working
Garbage is Being Consumed
in a Satisfactory Manner.
The garbage furnace recently
erected by the Dickson Garbage
Grematory Gompany, under the su-
perintendency of William Bowers
and the supervision of Borough En-
gineer Martin, was fired up the latter part of last week in order to
dry out the brick work, and this
'week a test was made that so far
has proven highly satisfactory. Under the contract a test period of
ten days is given, and the plant will
not be formally accepted by the
borough until that time expires.
With the adoption of the can system the old pattern of wagon will
be done away with and a clean and
more economical system put to use.
Several tons 'of garbage was
dumped into the white hot grates
and there was absolutely no odor
emitted, either from the tall stack
or in the building.
This achievement is a great credit to the committee appointed by
council to engineer the erection of
the furnace, and when it is formally, accepted the committee
should be discharged with thanks
for their success.
and director in two very valuable
properties and is also associated
with the most prominent men in
the district who are operating the
St. Ives and the well known Diamond Field Red Mountain properties which are rich in ore. Mr.
Prentice speaks in very glowing
terms of Goldfield and its bright
future. An investment in mining
property such as Mr. Prentice offers is a sound investment as he is
fully acquainted with the entire
field.
Has Returned From
Goldfield, Nevada
Mr. Gharles Prentice, the well
known master painter, of this place
who has been interested in mining
properties in Goldfield, Nevada, returned recently to the Valley. He
has spent considerable time on
his properties. Mr. Prentice will return to Nevada about April lst.and
will make Goldfield his permanent
headquarters. He would be pleased to hear from any of his friends
in the Valley who might be interested in mining as he is interested   and is   also    a    stockholder
The Stork Has Been Busy.
There is rejoicing at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. O. E. Alexander, 544
Bank street, over a visit of the
great white stork on Sunday morning. Before his departure his
storkship left a bouncing baby boy.
The title of "grandpa" sounds
queer to the ear of Mr. M. G.
Alexander, the well known brick
contractor, but he says 'he will get
used to it.' At present it startles
him somewhat to be thus addressed.
"A Bachelor's
Honeymoon"
Another home in which there is
considerable rejoicing, is that of
Mr. Henry Evans, ^L°gan and
Thorn streets. A young daughter
took up her abode there on Tuesday.
Business Men Meet.
The regular session of the Sewickley Valley Business Men's
Association was held on Tuesday
evening with President Murray in
the chair. The attendance was
good and considerable business
of importance to the Association
was transacted. Already the plans
for the annual outing are assuming
shape and the picnic will no doubt
far excel the one held last year.
The next meeting will probably be
largely attended as there will .be
some affairs discussed that are of
more than ordinary interest,
Read the Herald.
The entertainment offered this
year by the Nevin Mandolins is the
new opera of Kenneth S. Glark,
our gifted young composer, entitled ','A Bachelor's Honeymoon."
This is to be the initial appearance
of the work. No definite date has
been set for production, but it will
probably be shortly after Easter.
The cast will be practically the
same as the "Candy Man," with
some new faces among the principals. The first rehearsal will be
held Monday evening at the residence of Mr. H. L. H. Blair. Mr.
Dan Nevin is to be. musical director and Mr. Curtis Blair accompanist. Mr. A. Gampbell Stewart,
general manager and Mr. Gilbert A.
Hays is to have charge of the electrical and stage effect. The music
and lyrics are.equal to Mr,, Glark's
best efforts, the book, also by Mr.
Glark, being a story-of today.bright
and full of sparkling dialogue.

Doings at the Perry.
The ferryman on the "River
Styx" hss no troubles compared to
those of our friend Henry Baltz,
who is operating the ferry at the
foot of Ferry street. It is strenuous work these days and our genial
townsman has been suffering from
a very sore arm. There is one
thing in his favor, however, he has
lots of friends, and by their aid
the ferry is making schedule time.
