An association of earnest citizens
with modern Ideas could get this towu
out of tho rut it la In so hopelessly. It
has advantages that other places are
without. It has, on the other hand,
disadvantages that other places are,
happily, without. It has a population
that is not easly moved. It has the
objection always brought against coal
region towns that Is said to be under
mined. It has never had what might
be called a stablo local government,
certainly not one that had tho real
power to help along the cuuso of pro
gress. Happily the last objection has been
removed. The "undermined" scare Is
without real foundation. Our popula
tion is steadily being thoroughly
mixed up and that Is one encouraging
lenture, lor, wnere one class or one
nationality is largely in the majority
there never can be any progress. It
takes all sorts of men to make a good
town just as it does the world.
Briefly we need to, first, .set about
securing a thoroughly competent local
government to begin tho city with.
Then we want to advertise our ad'

A Paragraph or Two on tho Wator
Question Tho Days of Pump

Eleotrlo Railway.
The water question has brought to mind
the time when pi-oplo had to dopond on
pumps for their regular supply. I rocall a
scene on West Centre street, opposite tho
old Unilod States Hotel, whera the town
pump was located. At tinios tho string of
mon, women and children with tin and
wooden buckets, pilchors, Jugs and evory
conceivable receptacle, was a long one and
many a workiugman's dinner was dolayod
in consequence
V
My attention was callod tho other day to
tho amount of water running to waste.
no autnontlos consumo an immonse
amount of wator and tho saloons, which
aro not small in number, havo alsp become
quite a tax on tho supply. But, with all
this, there is no danger of a short supply,
A now wator company will not, in my
opinion, Intorlero with tho old company.
My impression is that by tho timo the now
company is ready for business thoro will bo
dnmand sufficient to keep tho two com
panies going. It is my honost belief that
Shenandoah will spread, that it will havo
annoxed districts and that all the supply
both companies can furnish will not bo
moro than will be required.

A drummer told me yesterday that tho
electric railway will bo a blessing to his
fraternity. Ho says his class of peoplo,

of tho Mahanoy and Shonandoah valleys

Thoro is considerable complaint by tho

THE COAL WASHERIES.
How Thoy are Developing In Th'a
County.
The Poltsville Chronicle publishes tho
ollowing interesting article on the coal
washeries of the county:
The now washery at Gllberton is about
finished and will be put in operation in it
tow days. This Waehery is owned by
Ueddall Brothore, of town, and was
erected by Contractors Christ Bnd Heltor.
It is the largest coal washery in tho
county, and cost fiM.OOO. The banks
which will bo washed by this contorn aro
very rich and will give. 100 cars ol good
coal a day.
Tho coal washery business is rapidly
gaining a promlnont po-itlon in tho coal
trado of Schuylkill county, Ihoroaroln
operation Bt the present timo seven wash
erios ownod by individuals and tho Phils,,
dolphia and Reading Coal nnd Iron Com
pany. These washories aro all located
near old culm banks, which contain many
thousands of dollars worth ol coal, dumped
thoro boforo Improved mining machinery
was introduced to win all the coal from tho
dirt.
Tho Bcddnll Bro. washery is tho best
that has boen built in this region, and will
givo the cost results,
Tho Sydney'Coal Co. has a very largo
washery at Gllberton. It has been In
operation over threo years and is now
superintended by John ,G. Scott, an able
mine foreman, who was superintendent at
tho Lehigh Valley Company's York Farm
eolllory until his eyesight gave out.
This washery has already "washed" one
largo and very rich culm bank and is now
at work on another. In October 5,773 tons
of coal wtro shipped fitm this washory.
A washery is built liko a breaker, only it is
not so largo. It is fund up with jis,
screons, schutes, pockots, loading tracks'
and thoro is always a groat demand for
boys to pick slate where ono of thorn is
located.
Tho Philadelphia and Roading Coal and
Iron Company has ono washery at tho
Knickerbocker colliery, Shonandoah,
which has a capacity of CO cars a day.
Thero is anothor at Glen Carbon which
turns out tho same quantity. The com
pany erected one at tho Lincoln eolllory
culm banks, which turns out 0 cars a day.
Tho old Brooksido breaker has been turned
into a washery, and whon it is started it
will sond out 60 or CO cars of coal a day.
At Middloport a washory is in full oper
ation and doing big business. Thero is also
ono on the Girard lands at Girardvillo
owned by Kotor & Co,, which cloans
about 35 tons dally.
