liis ifcclure was divided into two parts. i>"irst, he Udd of his hunting trip in Wyoijiing ad la.ter he showed, hy laeans nl lantern slides the nature ol llie couiitry over which he irav- e.ed.
.\s a preface lo liis lecture, -Mr. Mu.ler spoke of the dire necessity of reforesting the unclaimed lands tluougliout every part of the I'nited States. Ill Pennsylvania tiiere is such a move lieing made now in the legis¬ lature to purchase und reclaim a large amount of barren .and. This move¬ ment, .Mr. Mulier urged, should be backed by every voter. In tiie west there are Inumerable acres of such land along tiie mountain s'des and on the sady levels. Such are very adapt¬ able to reclamation, and efforts should be put forth to llnd a means of re¬ plenishing tlie scarred slopes and the I bare   wastes.
I      Wlien   in   Wyoming,   where   he   had
gone  un   a  hunting  trip  several   years
I ago   .Mr.   iluller .saw  and  realized   the
wealth   and     possibilities   in     plantinj:
these   forests.     Along    the     niouiitain
slopes   there   were   patches   here   and
there of  pines  and  willowa.    But  they
were   jagged     and   sparcely     scattered
i along   the   slopes   of  the   Kockles,   and
tthe tops of the mountains were usually

Citlier ollicials in at¬ tendance were : Treasure.- .-^amuel A. Faust, Solicitor Harold (1. ivnight and Burgess   P.obert   Anderson.
The purpose of the meeting was to consider ways and means lor further¬ ing lhe work of iiernianenl sj-rect Im- piovement. All meinljers piesent. in- c.uding llie other oHicia s mentioned, favored the bonding of the borough to the e.xient of .*(iO Ouu. .\fter con¬ siderable discussion it was agreed to instruct the solioitor to prepare the necessary ordinance for the purpose of bringing the matter before the voi- jf-s  at  the  ne.xt election. . i
The stand taken by the members of council for the permanent work to be done on our streets is to be commend¬ ed. The great wear and teiiu, by re.-: son of the heavy motor travel, ha."" | iiKKle it necessary for .insl such work as this, nnd the sooner our streets are i rebuilt in a iiermanent way lhe easier it  will  be for the taxiiiiM-r.
