"I could name offhand," said the
owner of this old newspaper relic,
"more than a score nf persons who are
worth from J2.000.000 to $10,000,000 nnd
owe their wealth and standing- today
to that advertisement. Indirectly the
city of fieranton owes Its existence to
It. That advertisement led to thu
building of the Delaware. Lnclmwnnna
and AVcstern railroad. There Is a fas
cinating story connected with It and I
would be willing to wager all I'm worth
that there Isn't one of the beneficiaries
of that ancient ad. who knows It or has
ever heard It.
"The development of this great coal
and Iron region came of a chain of In
teresting nnd really romantic circum
stances, nnd the first link In the chain
was forced more than a century ago
when Henry Drinker, a wealthy Phlln
delphlan, became Interested with Dr.
Benjamin Hush, George Clymcr, Rob
ert Morris, Samuel Jleredlth and other
eminent men of that time In the pur
chase of Pennsylvania wild lands. The
northeastern part of Pennsylvania was
then a wilderness, and In 17R9-91 Henry
Drinker purchased from the state 25,
000 acres In what are now Lackawan
na. Pike, Wayne and Susquehanna
counties. A great portion of this land
was on the headwaters of the Lehigh
river, In the present Lacknwnnna coun
ty. It was called Drinker's Beech, be
cause of the great forests of beech that
covered the tract. Drinker cut roads,
at great expense, through these for
ests and spent large sums In efforts to
make the upper Lehigh river navigable
60 that his lands might be made avail
able to pettlers, but the locality was
too unpromising to attract them.
MADE A SETTLEMENT.
"In 1S15 Henry W. Drinker, a Fon of
this pioneer landowner, made a settle
ment In the beech wilderness. With
this as an Incentive he renewed the
efforts his fathe had abandoned to
Induce settlers to ocate there, and It
was he who Inserted this advertise
ment In the Philadelphia papers offer
ing to exchange land on long1 credit
for beechnuts, maple sugar, fish, game,
work, tlmher, shingles and the like.
In a short time, these Inducements
proving' efficacious, many settlements
were formed along the upper Lehigh,
and the settlers were the ancestors of
most of the coal and Iron barons of the
Lackawanna valley today many a
colossal fortune of the present time
having been founded on a few hundred
weight of maple fiugar, certain car
casses of deer or one or two thousand
shingles, split In the woods by the
grandfathers of the now millionaires.
"To onen these Isolated settlements
to the outside world and make the
region accessible, Drinker built In 1819
the first turnpike road that ever en
tered the Lackawanna valley. This he
had chartered as the Philadelphia and
Great Bend turnpike. It was sixty
miles long.and extended from the Dela
ware river near the Water Gap to
Drinker's Beech. It Is known to this
day as the old Drinker road, and Is a
landmark In fixing boundaries In that
jiart of Pennsylvania. In 1S19, also,
Drinker became aware of the existence
of anthracite coal In the valley, and al
though It was then useless, all efforts
to introduce it having failed up to that
time, he believed In its actual Import
ance, and foresaw the advantages of
better communication between the
Delaware and Susquehanna valleys.
Strange as It may seem now, his Idea
was that this communication could bo
made by a railroad. There was not a
railroad in existence In the world nt
that time, except the crude mine tram
ways In England. Drinker blazed with
an axe a route from the mouth of the
Lackawanna river, where the borough
of Pittston now Is, through the un
broken wilderness, across the Pocono
mountains to the Water Gap, a dis
tance of sixty miles, and satisfied him
self that such a scheme as he had In
mind was feasible. This was In 1S24,
and In 1S26 Drinker obtained a charter
from the state of Pennsylvania for a
company that he called the Delaware
and Susquehanna Canal and Railroad
company the first charter for a rail
road company ever issued. His idea
was the building of a railroad with in
clined planes, horse power to be used
between the planes, and water power
to raise the planes. He interested a
number of prominent Phlladelphlans in
the plan, and In 1S31 a survey or the
route was made. '
COAL IN DEMAND.
"Anthracite coal had by that tlmo
asserted its value. The Lehigh Navi
gation company, on the south, had come
into existence and opined up a profit
able market for coal in Philadelphia.
The Delaware and Hudson Canal com
pany had brought the riches of tho
upper Lackawanna Valley to light,
conquered the prejudices of New York
against the old fuel, and was advancing
to wealth and power. Coal was selling
at $9 a ton at the tidewater markets,
an,d coal lands In the undeveloped
lower Lackawanna Valley could be
purchased for $10 an acre. The time
seemefl ripe for the building of Drink
er's railroad, James Seymour, the en
gineer who made the survey of the
route, reported that a railroad could be
built from the Delaware Water Gap to
the Lackawanna Valley for $62"i,000 on
which 20.000 tons of coal a year could
be carried.
"That report seems somewhat rldlcu
lous now, but the engineer made It all
the same. The road was to be oper
ated by Inclined planes and hoise pow
er, as tho locomotive was as yet an un
certain factor In the railroad transpor
tation problem. At the time Drinker
obtnlned his charter Samuel Meredith
made a survey from the Lackawanna
Valley at Trovldenco to the Susque
hanna Valley at Great Bend for a route
for a railroad forty-seven miles up tha
ttusqueljanna to the New lork state
line. A charter for a railroad over this
route was obtnlned, The design of this
was to form a Junction with a proposed
railroad between the Delaware and the
Lackawanna, and thus make a through
route to the rich and growing New
"Voj-k Southern Tk,
"Drinker's company was organized In
1832. Drinker was Its first president.
But ho could not raise capital to go
on with tho work, nnd It wns not until
18'3, when ho obtained n perpetual
charter for n gravity railroad from
Pittston to tho New York state line, In
conjunction with his original charter,
that tho New York capitalists became
interested In the scheme. The building
of the New York and Erie railroad,
now the Eric tnllrond, was by this time
being agitated, as tho tide of emigra
tion and trade wns to tho Southern
Tier and tho lake country. The route
thither proposed by Henry Drinker wns
eighty miles shorter than the proposed
Erie routo nnd pasred through tho coal
region. Before woik was begun on tho
Drinker road tho hard times of l835-:
came on. Seme of tho lcndlnct men
Interested In the enterprise were ruin
ed. Sir Chnrlrs Augustus Murray, nn
English capitalist, was traveling In thl
country nt that time. Ho learned of
the plans of Drinker nnd his associates
and became Interested In them, At ft
meeting of th company held In Easton
Sir Charles was present. Ho agreed
to rnNe $.'00,flOO in England to aid th?
building of the railroad on condition
that the company would raise enough
money to make a decent beginning of
tho work.
"The chief aid and advlcr of Drink
er In this entci prise was a hustling and
determined man named William Hen
ry. By his efforts he induced tho Mor
ris Cnnnl company of New Jersey to
agree to take $150,000 of the stock of tho
railroad company, but pending tho ne
gotiation of this stock word wns re
ceived from Sir Charles Murray that,
owing to business depression In Eng
land, he was unnble to raio the rnonev
he hud expected to get, and tho work
received what seemed to be its death
blow Both Drinker nnd Wllllarn Henry
had exhausted their private fortunes
In their effoits to carry the railroad
scheme to success.
SITE OF SCRANTON.
"The city of Scranton has now n pop
ulation of over 110,000. In 1S3G Its Fit
wns nn unbroken wlldernss. Three
houses and a stone mill, formlnc tho
settlement known ns Slocum Hollow,
were all tho evidence of civilization vis
ible hereabout. There were deposits of
iron In the Hollow. The Slocums had
smelted ore In a primitive furnace
years before. In 183G J. J. Albright, of
Noithampton county. couid have
bought the lund now ocrupltd by S"ran
ti.n, Including Slocum Ili.'.low nnd the
Iron mines for MO nn acre. Albright
wns Interested In the iron business In
Northampton county, and he took, spec
imens of the Slocum Hollow ore to Eas
ton to exhibit it This was about tha
time the Irinker railroad scheme col
lapsed. William Henry heard of the
Iron oi e Albright had brought from
Slocum Hollow nnd of the of'or to soil
tho land. This put an entirely now Idi :i
Into his head, and that was to got pos
session of the Iron mines and use them
as a new Inducement to capital to re
suscitate tho railroad project, making
Slocum Hollow the cbjctlve point of
tlvj road between the Delaware and the
Lackawanna. This met with strong
objection from Drinker, who had the
welfare and future of Drinker's Beech
uppermost In his mind, and not Slocum
Hollow.
"But Henry was not to be put down.
He at last won a New York capitalist
named Armbtrong over to his views on
the new prospects of the inllroad. Al
bright hud In the meantime failed to
raise money to .purchase tho Slocum
Hollow propel ty. In 1810 William Hen
ry purchased BOO acres of the tract, In
cluding the iron mines, for $8,000. In
payment for It he gave a thirty days'
draft on the capitalist Armstrong by
agreement with him. But In thoe days
the malls were slow, and before the
draft reached New York for accep
tance Armstrong had died suddenly.
His administrator refused to upcept thr
draft, and William Henry's contract
for iie land was worthless. He Induc
ed the owner of the land to. give him
an option on tho land for sixty days.
Then he went to hustling. He called
on the two Scranton brothers, George
W. and Selden T., the Ironmasters of
Oxford, N, J., and laid the situation
before them. They became interested
In the story nnd visited tho wild Lack
awanna region in company with the
enthusiastic Henry, Journeying over
the turnpike built by Henry W. Drink
er In 1S19. The coal and Iron deposits
of Slocum Hollow were an agreeablo
surprise to tho Scrantons. and they
resolved nt once to fill the place mnde
vacant by the death of the capitalist
Armstrong. They fulfilled the con
tract made by Henry, and became the
owners, with him, of tho Slocum prop
erty. They established Iron works at
the Hollow, and began the development
of the region.
ADVENT OF THE ERIE.
"The New York and Erie railroad
had materialized by this time and was
being pushed to completion along tho
southern border of New York state.
This turned the nttentlon of the Scran
tons to an nutlet by rail of the Sus
quehanna Valley to the Erie over the
routo laid out by Samuel Meredith in
1S26, rather than southward over the
Pocono to the Delaware and tho Drink
er route. Drinker had censed to take
an nctlvo Interest In the original pro
ject when Henry succeeded In getting
possession of tho Slocum Hollow prop
erty, as ho saw that the hopes of
Drinker's Beech were ruined by that
move, and he had turned his attention
to retrieving his lost fortune.
"In 1817 the Scrantons purchased the
old Meredith charter and built a loco
motive railroad up the Susquehanna to
Great Bend. They called It the Lack
awanna and Western railroad. It was
completed and opened In 1S51. This
brought New York pity, although by a
roundabout way, within a days' Jour
ney of the Lackawanna coal region, by
tho way of the Erie from Great Bend.
But the Scrantons were not satisfied
with this roundabout connection, and
In 1851 they procured a charter for the
Water Gap nnd Cobb's Gap Railroad
company, and purchased for $1,000 the
original Drinker charter of 1819. The
Lackawanna and Western and the
Water Gap nnd Cobb's Gap Railroad
companies were consolidated under the
name of tho Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Railroad company, and
the railroad that Henry Drinker had
originated and had struggled so long
and so hard to build was at last con
structed from the Delaware to the
Lackawanna.
FAR.REACHING RESULTS.

world, the great Delaware and Lacka
wanna system has grown, together
with Its millions of wealth In coal
lands. Upon that modest Investment
the enormous plant nnd property of the
Lackawanna Coal nnd Iron company
and tho cltv of Scranton Itself, with
its varied Industries nnd rich sur
roundings, aro founded. Tho coming
of tho Drinkers Into the then uninhab
ited wilderness has been followed by
the Investment of hundreds of millions
of capital there nnd the enriching of
all the families whose founders came
Into tho valley lu response to Henry
W. Drinker's' advertisement for set
tlers who were willing to take up land
In tho wilderness and pay for It with
maplo sugar, fish, game and shingles.
"Henry W. Drlnjkcr, by tho sale of
his lands, which Increased In vnluo
greatly with the advent of tho rail
roads and the development of the coal
trnde, accumulated another fortune,
and retired to a life of case at Mont
rose, Susquehanna county, where he
died. There nre but two of his direct
descendants living. One.Anna Drinker,
was n poetess of national fame forty
years ago, writing over the name of
Edith May, She became insane, and
wns an inmate of the State Insane asy
lum at Harrlsburg for more than thirty
years nnd was believed to be an Incur
ablft patient. About five years ago her
reason was suddenly restored, and sho
took up her residence In Philadelphia.
Her brother, Joseph, In 1881, shot nnd
killed President Cooper of the Mont
rose Nntional bank. Cooper wns the
trustee, of Anna Drinker's estate, and
Joseph Drinker charged him with hav
ing been unfaithful to his trust.
Drinker wns convicted of murder and
sentenced to be hanged. After years
of delnv he was adjudged Insane and
wns placed In the lunatic nsylum at
Danville, becoming an Inmate of that
asylum about the time his sister Anna
was discharged from the Harrlsburg
asylum after her long confinement
there."
HOW A 10-INCir SHELL IS MADE.
Story ot tho Prncees Until It Is Ready
(or It Work ot Destruction.
The complete story of tho manufac
ture of one of the big battleship pro
jectiles has always been hard to ob
tain. Tho Flrth-Sterllng projectile
works at Demmler, near Pittsburg,
aro barred to nn outsider, only repre
sentatives of the government nnd of
ficials of tho company having access
to nil tho departments. Even the
workmen of one department nre for
bidden to enter nnother. Here Is the
history of the making of a 10-Inch
shell:
In the casting shop molten steel Is
enst In a solid piece about 12' Inches
In diameter. From the casting shop It
goes to the forge room, where, after
being reheated, It Is hammered down
to 0 Inches, being considerably
elongated In tho process. It Is then
conveyed to the machine shop nnd
placed In a specially constructed lathe.
The base of the projectile Is inserted
In tho lathe "chuck," and the conical
end is swung from the lathe center. A
"roughing" cut is then run over the
shell, tho shell itself is pointed, and
then receives a finishing cut.
The only parts of the shell that bear
against the rifled surface of the gun is
the larger part of the conical end and
the surface of a copper ring that en
circles the projectile near Its base. The
copper is quite soft, so does not in
jure the rifling. After the finishing cut
Is given to tho propectlle, the diameter
of the largest part of the cone Is 10
5-100 Inches, and that of the cylinder,
which Is the body of the projectile ex
tending back from the cone, is 9 90
100 inches.
The workmen now apply tho "band
score." which Is a groove cut for the
reception of the soft copper band. For
a 10-lnch projectile the groove Is Hi
Inches wide nt the bottom and U-lnch
deep. The groove is wider at the bot
tom than at the top, so that the cop
per band retains its position after It
has been placed In the groove and
pounded down until the copper swells
out and fills tho groove, thus taking a
flange hold on the under side.
Then the ''exacting score" Is cut.
This presenty sectlonally a view like
the letter V. with the letter lying on
one side nnd the converging lino point
ing to the hate of the shell. This grove
is made to permit a tool to ba fastened
to the shell when It is desired to with
draw it from the gun. The shell Is put
in tho cuttlng-off machine, where tho
surplus length is taken off. The next
move Is tho boring of a five-inch holo
in the base to a depth of fourteen in
ches. In the process of hardening, the shell
Is suspended point downward, In a re
ceptacle filled with molten lead, and
Is allowed to settle until tho hot metal
rises abo-e tho cone base. At first the
temperature of the lead Is 500 degrees,
but Is Increased gradually to 1.300 de
grees The work of heating requires
four hours, when the shell Is with
drawn from the bath and sprayed with
water to give It a hard exterior. It
is then plunged into .-. bath composed
of secret Ingredients, and when with
drawn it Is cooled with a Jet of water.
The projectile goes ngaln to the ma
chine shop, tho holo In the hnse Is
widened half nn Inch and the depth is
Increased two inches. The hole is
"threaded" a few Inches and a screw
plug Is Inserted. The grinding room is
the next destination, and here the ex
treme diameter of the cone Is ground
down to 10 Inches exactly. After a soft
steel cap has been fitted to the tin of
tho projectile on the theory that when
the shell strikes the armored side of a
battlcehlp tho soft steel preserves tho
point of the projectile without Inter
fering with its penetrating power, the
shell Is finished as far as the Flrth
Sterllng company Is concerned. It is
exactly 27 1-3 inches long. AftPr It has
been received nt some United States
arsenal It Is filled with an ej.-jlosivo
compound and Is ready for Its work o
destruction.
All large projectiles, from the 6-Inch
size up, are made as described. Tho
machinery nt tho Demmler plant con
sists of twelve lathes, four boring mills,
two cutting off machines, two tool
lathes, two chasing machines, one
grinding and one centering machine.
This equipment Is being reinforced, ns
the company has enough work on hand
for the government and foreign coun
tries to keep the plant busy for two
years,

Nothing Is more certain than that
the United States can reap no solid and
permanent advantage trom the fortunes
of war unless they are willing to accept,
confidently nnd hopefully, tho uddcil re
sponsibilities which must come- with any
possession worth the holding. Self-distrust
hns not In tho past been a charac
teristic of the American people. The na.

successfully carry out any tchemo of
