We who live here in this section
of Pennsylvania, are of the thought
that we are right in the heart of the
great coal reserves of the nation,
and that Pennsylvania is one of the
very highest in the country when
it comes to coal deposits. Yet we
are dwarfe din the matter of coal re-
serves when compared with many
other states. According to figures
released by the United States Coal
Commission, Pennsylvania's reserv-
es in net tons, totals 34,920,000,000.
Scems big, doesn’t it! But how many
of our readers know that the state
of Wymoing’s reserves amount to
340,494,000,060? Or that out in Mon-
tana there are 183,232,000,00, and in
Colorado, 157,670,000,000 Reserves in
ret tons?

at attractive figures, the domestic con-
1 sumer is expected to come across in
handsome fashion. The Public Utility
Commission has stepped into the bre-
ach. In the meantime Governor James
is doing his earnest best to unhorse
the commission. The disposition on the
rart of the utilities to boost their
rates and the Governor's evident de-
termination to hamstring the present
commission should furnish food for
thought—at least to the thoughtful.
