HOW ABOUT THAT

RIVER BOATHOUSE?

'llardscrabblc' Possibilities and

Approach of Spring Set

Canoeists Thinking

SOMK PRIVATE PLANS

Plaee to Store Hundreds of

('.raft Essential; Municipal

Pavilion Advocated

Recent discussion in City Council of

th< "I lardscrabble" problem com

bined with the neur approach of open

canoeing season has set the hundreds

of canoeists throughout Harrisburg

pondering—the question, storage and

re ntal facilities (luring the coming:

summer.

That there is need for a boathouse

commodious enough to accommodate

the several hundred light water craft

goes without saying, and the possibili

ties of eliminating "Hardserabble" has

revived the talk of erecting a munici

pal boathouse.

iJolli Commissioner Bowman and

cx-Cominlsioner Taylor had plans in

view for constructing a permanent

municipally-owned or controlled boat

house along the Uiver Wall at "Hard

scrabble"' when the section should be

formally condemned and taken over

by the cily. No definite action, how

ever, was ever taken.

During (lie last few weeks several

drawings for private boathouses have

been prepared, including a set by

George Heist, a South 1 larrisburg man,

«ind another by the Engineers' Society

of Pennsylvania. Whether any pri

vate concessionaire would have the

right to occupy Kiver Wall space for

this purpose should the matter lie car

ried into the courts, is considered a

legal problem that might involve a

•wide discussion. Canoeists, however,

have had m> tip from either A. P.

Dintaman nor Harry .1. Berrier, the

two big boat pavilion owners of

"Hardserabble," relative to removal,

and this has served thus far to ease

the minds of scores of youths who had

been wondering what they might have

to do for a place to keep their canoes.

MAUSOLEUM AT

PAXTANG PLANNED

Will Be Possible to Entomb

Several Hundred Under Co

operative Burial Plan

J An important and distinctive move

ment along the line of civic improve

ment for this city is now well under!

way, and it is practically assured that

within a short time Harrisburg will I

boast of one of the finest memorial

. mausoleums to be found in this coun- |

■ try. For several years the directors

lof Pax tang Cemetery have been in

vestigating mausoleums, their con- j

struction and general desirability, j

Their experience as cemetery men has

led them to believe that a great ma- i

jority of the people have a horror of j

i earth burial, but they realized that I

but very few have been able to pro- !

j vide other means because of the ex

cessive cost attending the construction |

of private tombs, in order to make

mausoleum entombment possible for ,

those who desire it, it is proposed to j

| erect under a co-operative plan of |

l construction and endowment a beau- |

tiful mausoleum in which several hun- |

dred persons may be entombed and '

tlie remains cared for under the most j

j highly sanitary and scientilic method |

i possible.

The building planned for Paxtang

j will be constructed entirely of gran- ]

ite, 'marble, bronze at'd concrete rein- |

forced with steel, in design the build- :

ing will be of Doric architecture, sim

ple, massive and stately, it is stated

that tlie cost of entombment underj

this co-operative plan will be little, or

no more, than for ordinary earth bur-I

fal. After the building is completed,

it will be tidowed in a sufficient sum j

to insure its perpetual care and main- !

; tenance.

It is interesting to learn that within |

| the past eight years more than three i

Hundred of these mausoleums have I

been ercted throughout the United I

States and Caniida: therefore, Harris-j

burg is not the first city to take up |

this new method of entombment, but

the plans would indicate that the j

building planned for I larrisburg will !

i be one of the best yet constructed and

situated, as it will be, in one of the j

best locations in Paxtang, commanding |

I a beautiful view of the t countryside,

' it will be an ornament to the eeme- i

j tery, a tribute to the civic spirit of j

the people of Harrisburg and an ever- i

lasting monument to the memory of I

those who sleep within its portals.

WAITING FOITBABY,

1 he preferred to have her die of ex- |

j haustion rather than to kill her out- j

i right—and because she proved to be

able to withstand hardship better than

J his own men he promised he would j

I release her after he had sacked Co- j

j lumbus. He also agreed to give her I

j SIOO gold and a permit to travel un-I

j Villa territory.

Fxpeets Outside Aid

"Villa only talked to me twice," Mrs.

Wright said. "1 avoided talking with

him because he would have thought f

! admired him, and would have forced

mo to accompany him. He told his

| officers how he would wipe out the

| town of ('olumbus and then when the

| United States tried to invade Mexican

j territory, Germany and Japan would

I step in to interfere. Villa believed this

firmly. 1 have overheard him make

such remarks from time to time,

j Whether some agents of these two

| countries are making him believe this,

j or whether it is an idea which came

to him, I do not know. Hut be is con-

j "How 1 wanted to escape to tell the

i people of Columbus about the attack,

j Hut I was watched all the time. The |

first night 1 was allowed to sleep in j

j an abandoned adobe house which was |

prepared for me. About thirty sad

! dies were piled in front of the door.!

The guards slept with t'lieir heads to !

[the door and their feet to a fire just I

beyond.

Tries to Kscape

j "I lay down, but not to sleep. About j

midnight 1 heard the snoring of the

| Mexican guards. I peeked through the !

■ opening of the saddles and spied j

i Villa's charger, a splendid steed, about

! fifty feet from the hut. One by one

t I removed the saddles and stepped

; over the sleeping forms until I reached ]

| the horse.

"The horse was tangled in liis rope. !

, 1 began to untangle the horse and j

then one of the Mexicans turned over,

i lie saw something was wrong. I stood |

' behind the horse Hut the horse re- 1

fused to stand still and it kept me busy I

keeping behind the animal. Finally

thi' guard came out to where the horse j

was.

"What are you doing here?" he j

: asked.

"Untangling the horse." 1 replied. |

Then he finished the task 1 started. !

1 longed for a hatpin, a dagger, a 1

penknife, anything to kill the man. 1 j

could have shot him. had I had a gun. '

1 But if 1 could have killed him I would i

have escaped, since none of the other I

horses could have overtaken me. 1 j

returned to the hut. From then on I j

was watched constantly until I was re- :

leased at Columbus."
