J. Jackson. It was in the general fitoess of things that A. J. Jacksen, who enjoys the prestige of being one of Patton's pioneer settlers, should be the first administrative head of this thriving town, so he was elected first hutyess. During his term of office, he display- ed the same executive ability d ex. haustless energy that always char- acterized him as an expert in munici- pal government. John Ashcroft. Since the subject of coal vccupies such an important place in the re- view we mention John Ashcroft, as the first general superintendent of the Patton Coal Co, whose conserva- tive principals snd executive nnd fin. ancial abilities won him high esteem Magee & Lingle, Patton's rich and abundant coal beds have afforded the Pardee collie ery, of which Magee and Lingle are the proprietors, an extensive business which they are fully capable of hand. ling. James Mellon, The possessor of deep knowledge and the fundamental principles gov- erning such, Jumes Mellon, the first justice of the peace in the borough of Patton, has presided with dignity and ability which is in itself admir- able.

A good concrete-and-asphalt highway costs $36,000 a mile—just a bare road, not count- ing the cost of culverts, bridges, etc. Our railroads couldn't be duplicated to- day for $150,000 a mile. They are capitalized for only $71,000 a mile—- much less than their actual value. Seventy-one thousand dollars today will buy one locomotive - ia English railways are capitalized at $274,000 a mile; the French at $155,000; German $132,000; even in Canada (still in pioneer development) they are capitalized at $67,000 a mile. The average for all foreign countries is $100,000, Low capitalization and high owserating effici- ency have enabled American Railroads to pay the highest wages while charging the lowest rates.
