New Soft Coal Roads,
A number of prominent railroad men
most of whom are interested in the Nors
thumberland Improvement Company,
which owns the controlling stock in the
Wilkes Barre and Western Railroad Co.,
have decided to build a further extension
to this line. The Wilkes Barre and
Western Railroad is now being construct-
ed from Shickshinny to Watsontown.
and from Watsontown to Newberry,
which is within a very short distance of
Wilkes Barre, the Beech Creek and
Hudson River Railroad Company is go~
ing to extend the road.
A road will also be built from Newbers
ry fo Bellefonte, a distance of about fifty
miles, and plans have been made for a
road to run into the Clearfield district.
When these lines are completed there
will be a direct road to New York for the
soft coal trade, which will save mileage
and cost of hauling.
The new road from Newberry to Belle-
fonte is to be called the Bellefonte and
Eastern. It is proposed to make it a
through line and to make a traflic agree-
ment with the Northern Central, which
will give them access to the Northern
part of Pennsylvania and New York,

~— The duck storm that last week fell
upon the plains of Punxsutawney was a
great deal more extensive than was at
rot supposed. It was a veritable dels
of ducks. Everybody admitted that
t ey never saw anything approaching it.
Mahoning Creek and all its tributaries
within a radius of ten miles were liter-
ally swarming with wild ducks and
geese of every species and variety,
A person who did not witness it could
have no conception of the immensity of
the flock. There were thousands of
them. The night being dark and stormy
and the snow falling fast, the birds were
attracted by the numerous lights ofthe
coke ovens surrounding Punxsutawney,
and came down. Hundreds ofthe un-~
lucky fowls flew too close to the months
of the ovens, got their wings singed, and
dropped into the farnaces like moths in-
to the flames of a torch. The Hungar-
inns and Italians got out their clubs and
killed barrels of the birds. The next
morning great numbers of wild ducks
and geese were found in the snow and
captured, and when the citizens of Punx-
putawney saw that Mahoning Creek was
a living mass of wild fowl every man
who conld buy or borrow a gun was out
shooting ducks,
