We plant the staff for our co1ntry's flag,
We plant the shade, from the hot sun free;
We plant all these when we plant the tree.

A Notable Undertaking,

Among the many valuable coal posses
sions of the Reading Company none Is
richer than the three-mile stretch of land
| from New Castle, on the east, to Glen Gar
bon, on the west. Unfortunately 40 years
| ago. while this land was being worked,
fires originated at two different points
and in the two valuable veins. Every
means then known were taken to extln-
| guish the flames, but without avail, aud the
| fire is said to have already consumed sew
| eral million dollars worth of the finest
coal.
Prior to snd during the 70s no less than
| three large collieries were in successful
operation on these tracts, the Anchor, at
! Hecktscherville; the East Pine Knot and
| West Pine Knot at Greenbury and Coal
Castle. Work ha been suspended and
the collieries abardoned owing to the fire.
The Reading Company have now deter
mined to extinguish the flames if possibl
and borings are already being made to
locate the presant seat of the hre. When
| successful the surface will be stripped
above the veins and the fire then confined
to its limits aud millions of tons of good
coal thus saved.
THE HOUSE has passed bill to place a
copy of Smulrs Legislative Hand Book in
every school in the State. To do this %,
900 copies will be required. Wonder II
the statesmen reflected that this move will

for show purposes. We do not enforce it. y
