IN WHICH COUNTY,
Singular Dispute Over the Proper Location
OF an Important PENNSYLVANIA Coal Town.


HoNEspALE. Pa. Doc. 17.-Ten years ago
anthracite coal was discovered in tho Lacka-
wanna. several miles north Of tho point where
biologists and mining exports had set as the
furthest possible place where anthracite would
ever be found in the Lackawanna field In pay
ing quantities. Tho Carbondale branch of tho
Erie Railroad ran through the region where
the new discovery was made. and 1t was then
an unbroken forest The Erie became inter-
ssted In the discovery. and developments were
made. resulting In tho opening OF q valuable
new anthracite field. A town soon grew UP In
the wilderness. and was called Forest City.
The place haa become one Of the largest and
most important places in the valley. i no
new coal field is on the borders Of
Wayne, Lackawnnna. and Susquehanna
counties. ana Forest City was supposed to be
and paid by the city to Susqushanna county
county has been represented in the Legsl
importance OF the town has increased tho
wealth and importance Of Susnuehannn coun-
~ correspondingy but now tho claim is made
by Lackawanna comfy that the city Is not in
susquehanna county at all. but In lackawan-
ma. and preliminary surveys indicate that tho
claim is correct. 1t is not admitted by SuS-
Quehanna however. and the case will have to
go into the courts before Forest City may know
which county she is in. If it Is Lackawannn
county. many serious complications VIII result
and no end Of litigation.

BUSINESS IMPROVING

And Likely to Be Very Active From Now
on Until After the Winter Holiday
Trade Booming Out West-No Import
h !aat Price Changes Collections Easy.
FRIDAY, Oct. z.
General business is steadily improving,
and from now on until the approaching
holiday trade is over merchants expect to
have all they can very well attend to.
Further West trade is fairly booming.
Business in nearly all lines Of merchan-
disc is running ahead of expectations" says
q Chicago paper. Shipments to all
points being on very liberal
scale. It is learned that many woolen and
worsted, cotton and silk mills, boot and shoe
and rubber shops, are crowded TO the ut
most and yet cannot catch up with their
orders, and the consumption of materials in
markets have hardly ever been so bare OF
cotton goods. and the supply fails so far
short OF the demand that prices of print
cloths and many kinds of prints and other
goods have been advanced" Regarding
prices, the situation here remains practi-
caliy unchanged. No complaints about
collections are heard. Corn, feed and hay
continue weak; groceries are strong with
the exception of sugar, which Is tending
downward; dairy products are easier; eggs
and poultry are steady: fruits and vege-
tables are firm; hog products are compara-
lively slow and barely steady; wheat, oats
and flour are strong, and fish and some
descriptions of canned goods are tending
upward again.
