We now have four telephones over
here connected with the Exchange IN
Wheeling. Their use and value Is more
evident every day. One gentleman re-
Gently told us that he had saved - on
one transaction and So on another by

Since the new gas furnace atthe La
Belle glass house has been in operation,
the old style furnace has been allowed
TO cool off, and will undergo repairs.
The new furnace is working well. The
beauty OF this style Of furnace is that 1t
uses the slack vast from the coal mines
near. which has heretofore been dumped
over the bank to get rid Of it. The cost
OF fuel is thus so greatly reduced as to
make the manufacture OF given guam,
titv of glass much cheaper. The coal
bank belonging to the glass house has
been idle since the new furnace started
nm as there are tons OF slack laying
around loose near by which is gathered
nm and utilized in the new furnace.
The attempt to force water up
into the reservoir by the same
pipe which is to lead 1t out
Is so far a failure. 1t will cost less IN
the end and be more successful to lay
smaller pipe up the same trench and

much smaller pipe would answer this
purpose and would not have the head
! of water in the reservoir to work against.
