Artillerymen at Tobyhanna Inspected; Start Preparing for Homeward Trip (Special To The Record) Camp Willis D.

Storer, Tobyhanna, July 27. Showers failed to halt the brigade review scheduled for this evening and 1,600 members of the 109th and 107th Field Artilleries were i reviewed by MaJ. Gen. William i. Price, commander of the 28th (Keystone) Division, and Brig.

Gen. William S. McLean, commander of the-sard yield Artillery Brigade. 'For two hours previous to formal retreat, which Included guard mount and review, rain fell heavily on the camp field and It was thought that the orders issued would be concelled. Shortly after 4:30 o'clock the sun began to shine and the program was carried out as arranged.

The militiamen presented a striking appearance as they stood on the water soaked field during parade rest and afterward marching up and down the field. They marched In battery formation and an unusually good step was kept as they passed in front of the reviewing officers. Maj. Gen. Price arrived at Camp Storer early this afternoon.

Railroad Declines to Accept Freight Kane. July 27 UP) The Kushe-qua Railroad, which runs from Mt. Jewett to Smethport, via Backus with a total mileage of twenty miles has placed an embargo on rrenjnt shipments from Smethport to Backus because sparks from the steam locomotives which must be used to haul freight cause forest fires. The railroad gained considerable fame some time ago as the road on which trains only ran on rainy davs and the fact that the owner, Ellsha K. Kane of Kushequa, Is an ardent prohibitionist was the basis of many jokes.

The rainy day schedule was put into effect because on dry days the locomotives were continually starting forest fires with the result that crew and passengers often had to leave the train to extinguish the blazes. When the rainy day schedule was found to be unsatisfactory to passengers a gasoline car was placed into service and It now hauls passengers from Backus to Smethport. This little car, known locally as the "Hoodlehug," has solved he passenger traffic problem. But as steam locomotives must be used for freight service and the sparks cause fires, the freight service has been discon tinued. $34,000,000 of Julian Oil Funds are Missing Los Angeles.
