The electric haul.ipre system, which
haii proven fcucet-Fsful in many of the
Delaware, l.ackawnnna and Western
company's mines, will be Introduced in
the Oayujfa in a short time. The ma
chinery for the svstem lias been or
Jered for several weeks, but the manu
facturers have been delayed owlnfr to
n press of orders In completing the
necessary apparatus. The machinery
is expected soon and will then be placed
in opetation,.
The system Is a labor-savins device,
end does away with mules and drivers

Tim cars' ore operated by means of a
trolley line, and nr run to the foot of
the shaft, where they are hoisted up
the planes by means of a pulley tope.
The system has been in operation in
the Mt. Pleasant colliery for a loni;
time and has proven entirely satisfac

Improvements at Mines.
Operations at the Sloan and Hamp
ton mines of tho Delaware, Iickawan
na and Western Company have not yet
been resumed. Carpenters have been
busllj engaged for several weeks In
making necessary repairs, uuch asf re
tlmberlng the shafts, putting in new
machinery, etc.
Work will be resumed as soon ns pos
sible, and the mines will be operated
according to the demands for c,oal.
Employes Must Move.
Owing to the changes made in vari
ous runs on the Lackawanna road,
majiy of the engineers, llremen, con
ductors nnd brakemen will of neftes-
Ity be compelled to change their
places of resldoncc, and it behoove
them to do so ns soon as possible
It lb understood that an order will
Boon be Issued cutting off the trip
passes now Issued to employes, and
unless they arrange to live within a
convenient distance from their work,
they will have to pny for their mileage
over the road.
This will undoubtedly affect several
hundred families along the line, but In
the long run will prove more conveni
ent for tho workmen.
Around the Shops and Yard.
X visit to the Lackawanna car shops
nd yard will convince the casual on.
server that this Is one of the busiest
departments In operation by the Dela
rare, Lackawanna and Western corn
puny. On every hand groups of work
men are enraged repairing and build
ing new cars and engines, and many
cars and cabooses from the different
divisions are being overhauled.
"A feature of the cabooses on the Utlea
HivUlon will be the painting of them
When the juice which is pressed from
grapes for wine-making ferments, the acid of
the fruit is crystallized and precipitated. This
is collected, refined to absolute purity, and
ground to a powder. This is cream of tartar.
Fruit acids are among the most whole
some and important constituents of the food
of man. They are absolutely requisite . to
maintain health. In grape cream of tartar
there are combined the most useful of leaven
ing agencies and a most healthful food article.
This highly refined acid of the grape, or
cream of tartar, is the material from which
Royal Baking Powder is made. It is many
times more expensive than ingredients used in
many baking powders, but being healthful in
itself, it adds healthfulness to the food instead
of degrading it.
In imitation li.ikiiijj poudor.s polsunuu ; alum
is used instead of healthful cream of tartar.
Such powders seriously affect the health.

"Lackawanna Railroad" in black let
ters on either side.
Several of the big jumbo engine
have recently been turned out, and the
work of repairing and building freight
cars is being pushed rapidly. The de
mand for additional cars has made It
necessary to rush the work, and many
of them are now ready for use.
Evidences of prosperity are apparent
on all sides, and never before in this
history of the company was there such
a. rush of work around the shops.
Bradford Central's New President.
The directors of the Bradford Cen
tral Rnllroad company hold a meeting
in Towanda Saturday, at which it wn
decided to Increase tho number of di
rectors, and A. F. Chapman tendered
his resignation as president of the
company. The office of president was
filled by the election of George II.
Adams, cashier of the Seventh National
bank of New York, and William II.
Kimball, president of the same institu
tion, was mnde a director of the Brad
ford Central. Early developments
along the line to Canton may be ex
pected soon. Towanda Review.
A New Roadbed.
The Lehigh Valley railroad has been
maklne surveys for the past week or
two between Penn Haven and Gln
Onoko with a view of building a jiitv
road bed. From Penn Haven, coming
south, It is the intention of bunding i
new track on the enst side of the
Lehigh river Instead of crobsing the
bridge and the Central rnllro-id to the
present tracks on the west side of ,vie
river. Thu proposed changes r- ver"
extensive. They include pew.il tun
nels through spurs of mountains that
extend to the river the Ox Bow, lor
instance and will cost thousands of
dollars. But the expense will bo war
I anted for the reason that it will great
ly lessen the distance and will aviid
many dangerous curves. A t present
traffic from the main line Is otoa con
gested between Penn Haven and Glen
Onoko with traffic from the .Mahanoy
and Hazleton regions. All thit, wM
be avoided. Wllkes-Barre News.
