In the great Connellsville district of Pennsylvania, where more than one-third of the total coke pro- duction of the United States is obtain- ed, the output of coke increased from 8,883,120 short tons to 11,385,077 short tons, while the value advanced from $13,990,329 to $22,315,361, the average price per ton advancing from $1.68 to $1.96. The Lower Connellsville, or Klondike district, shows a gain from 2,887,456 short tons in 1904 to 3,871,310 in 1905, while the value increased from $4,623,139 to $7,632,382. This is the time of year when the editors of country papers are almost daily in receipt of requests from col- leges, Chautauquas, summer schools, camp-meeting grounds and resorts for free advertising, ranging in value from one dollar to a hundred, or even more. On what grounds these people base their claims it is hard to tell. It can- not be on the ground of charity, for they are not charitable institutions. It is simply a case of attempted holdup, or the proposition may be made under the impression that the average country editor is a poor, unsophisticated fool, anyway, and as some papers seem to bite at these propgsitions it is presum- ably true, says an exchange. The editor of this paper would be the last man on earth to knowingly say a word to hurt the feelings of anybody at a time when the dark-winged mes- senger of death has brought sorrow to the home. But from the best motives we desire to call the attention of our readers to the custom of publishing “cards of thanks.” It isa custom that has outgrown its purpose, if it ever had one. When sickness and death come to your home it is only natural that your friends and neighbors should do what they can to assist you. They would be heathens if they did not. They know that you are thankful and deeply appreciate all they do, and it is not necessary to rush into print to tell |’ the world that your neighbors were kind when you were in trouble.

All the mines at Lilly, Cambria coun- ty, Pa., are now working full time, with a full complement of men. Some few weeks ago one or two companies grant- ed the demands of the union, and their employes returned to work, but other companies held out until this week, when they signed the scale on condition tHat hereafter the open shop should prevail. The miners finally agreed to this, and thus ended the long struggle. Hence all the mines are now in full operation. Another Big Timber Deal. A timber deal of considerable magni- tude was closed in Somerset county a few days ago, when P. C. Isaacs, a Stoyestown capitalist, sold a tract of about 750 acres to Charles H. Wheeler, of Akron, O. The tract is located in Stonyereek township and is heavily timbered with hemlock, maple and oak. It is one of the few pieces of virgin forest standing in Somerset county, and, it is stated, brought a faney price. Mr. Isaacs has controlled it for some time. Mr. Wheeler will incorporate a’com- pany composed of Ohio capitalists, and expects to have a large force of men on the property within the next ten days, preparatory to converting the timber into lumber. The work of getting this timber ready for the markets will give employment to a.great many persons, and will result in a boom to the Stoyes- town section of the county.

It is composed of chemicals and fibrous matter, and weighs only half as much as coal. The new fuel will be made in different sized molds. Tests made with the new fuel show, it is claimed, that it does not clinker, burns freely, gives off more heat than coal, and lasts longer.

Wheelwright, of Baltimore, vice president of the Consolidation Coal Company, has returned from a trip through the Somerset region of Pennsylvania, having completed ar- rangements for opening coal mines with a capacity of 1,000,000 tons a year. The lands to be opened up comprise 20, 000 acres, according to Baltimore dis- patches. Mr. Wheelwright said: “The property lies in what is known as the Johnstown basin, above. the town of Boswell and in the Jenner.-field. We have authority to open two mines, which will have a capacity of from 2,000 to 3,000 tons of coal a day, and by fall will have a town of 2,000 inhabi- tants located nearby. The Quemahon- ing creek runs through the property, and we will found another town of equal population on this creek within the next 12 months. “It is planned to have a big central power plant to furnish electric current to run the cars in the various mines. | In addition, we shall build a railroad through the property to connect with the Baltimore & Ohio. At present the branch we have to use is more than 22 miles long, and traverses a circuitous route. The new line will be only 14 miles long, and the grade will be less than one-half of 1 per cent. “By fall we shall be mining not less than 1,0C) tons a day. In one of the towns we have over 100 houses already built. The new field lies north of the mines which the Somerset company is now working. We were anticipating the development of this new territory last spring, when we ordered 1,000 steel coal cars of 100 tons capacity from the South Baltimore Steel Car and Foun- dry Company, for the Somerset Coal Company.” The Consolidation Coal Company owns a tract of about 27,000 acres of coal land in Pennsylvania, in what is known as the Berlin basin, southeasi of the new mines of the Somerset com- pany. weNEW Twentieth Century Cylinder Records HALF FOOT LONG Astopishing Results.
