Speaking of the proposed Delaware
Valley and Kingston railroad the let
ter Of the Anthracite Coal Operators
association advances the following ar
gument:
The intention to convert this canal into
a railroad is clearly and beyond question
simply following the march of modern
improvements. For seventy-twO years tie
canal has been an important means of
transportation from which freight traffic
has been gradually withdrawn by rail-
read competition. Consequently the con-
structiOn Of "a railroad over this route is
but change in motive power to meet
this comr etitOn.
In view OF certain changes in the route
of the proposed railr Dad by Its departure
from the bed OF the canal at some
curves. the company laid its plans be-
fore the commmission. asking it to con-
sider that the legislature Of the state
which Is the creator of the commission
has very clearly shown in the act of as
sembly above quoted. that it regarded
the public advantage and utility result
ing from the substitution of a railroad
for canal as settled fact in the policy
of the state.
A direct and inc stimable benefit, the re.
suits of which will be far-reaching, will
be that OF reducing the selling price Of
This will equally affect both the supply
for domestic purposes and for manufac-
turing. TO accomplish this result the
proposed railroad has already entered
into contracts for the shipment of an
thracite, mined by individual operators,
estimated at two and one half million
tons, at freight rates which, assuming a
tide price OF $500 per ton. as has been,
would be- twelve and one half per cent
under the rates hitherto charged
Further, these contracts provide for an
even greater reduction in the freight
charge on the smaller sizes of anthracite
used for steam-makinr purposes. The
total dinerence Is estimated at as much
as thirty cents per ton on the average
product, and besides there will be the re-
duction In the final selling price, which.
according to the well-known laws of
commerce. must always result from open
competition.
This proposed road can afford to grant
this material reduction in freight
charges not only because the rates
charged by existing railroads are exor-
bitantly high. but. owing to the relative
10y cost of its construction and the CON-
paratively small price already paid for
the right OF way on line which Is prac-
tiGally Rradedi and ready for the rails
and with the further advantage that, be.
cause over almost the entire route the
grades are level. or in favor of the load
It will be able to transport freight at a
low operating cost.
That the present freight charges OH
enthracite coal are unreasonably high
can be clearly shown by comparison with
the rates on soft coal. Both OF these
varieties OF fuel are loaded and unloadcd
by, gravity; full train load Is as easily
and cheaply assembled In one case as In
another, ard there Is undoubtedly nc
greater cost In the actual transportati tion
Of a car Of either kind.

A very lengthy ordinance. by which
1t Is proposed to regulate the sale of
milk in this city was last evening
considered at a meeting of special
committee from the board ci healta
held in City Solicitor Vosburs'a office.
1t has long been proposed to revise
the milk laws of the city, but the mat
ter has never been brought 10 a head
until now. Parts OF the ordinance
considered last evening were drawn up
by eX-FOod Inspector Cullen and the
other portions Of the measure have
been prepared by Food Inspector Will
mayer, acting in conjunction with City
Solicitor Vosburg and committee
from the Green Ridge Womans' club,
which latter body has lately interest
ed itself in the matter.
The meeting last evening was at
tended by w. G. O'Malley and DR..
Rodham of the board of health: Food
Inspector Widmayer. City Solicitor
Vosburg and Attorney s. b. Price, the
| latter appearing for the Womans' club.
Only a few minor changes were made
in the ordinance last night, and 1t is
| proposed to bring 1t before the board
of health on Wednesday evening for
that body's consideration. It will then
be introduced in council. but proba bly,
| not before reorganization. Mr.. vos-
burg stated positively last evening
that 1t would stand a strong legal test.
PROVISIONS OF MEASURE.
The measure first provides that no
person shall sell milk in the city with
out first procuring a license. Any per-
| son desiring a license must make a
| written application to the board of
health, stating his name and residence,
the exact location Of his dairy or the
place he obtains his milk: II a pro-
ducer the number OF COWS in his herd
apd II not the number of cows in
the herd Of the person he purchases
milk from. and finally how he disposes
| of his milk.
The filing of this application will al
| low him to continue selling until the
board acts on it. The measure then
provides that an inspection be made
of the dairy from which the milk comes
and Of the cows which produce 1t, a
refusal to allow such inspection being
ground for the refusal of.a, license.
| II the dairy is located within Lacka-
wanna county II Is to be the duty OF
the health officer to make the inspec.
tion, or to supervise the inspection,
the purpose of which Is to ascertain
whether any Of the cattle are infected
with tuberculosis or other contagious
disease or not II the dairy Is outside

the inspection be made by local vet

PRICE FOR PICKING.
Indications are That Forty Cents Per BOX WI
be Paid Hopplckers.


Mac Smith, who Is now travelling over
this county contracting and selling sup
plies to the hop growers says the hor
yards are all looking fine and that some
growers have contracted this years crop
at 8 and 10 cents. In the vicinity oi
Butteville, the growers expect to pay
forty cents per box for picking. While
in other parts of the county some grow
ers think they can secure their pickers
for 80 cents.
Mr.. Smith says he believes the grow
ers will conclude to pay the regular
price for picking and says from what he
can learn it will be difficult matter for
growers to obtain all the help necessary
TO harvest their crop, unless the regular
price is paid, which is 40 cents per box.
Advices from Independence indicate
that the hopyard owners and theiragents
are busy making engage ments for pick
ers. Picking will commence shortly
after September /, in some yards. The
price for picking has not yet been agreed
upon, but it is thought that it will not
be less than 35 cents a box.
There is a meeting Of the Oregon Hop
growers Association at Butteville today
at which it will probably be decided
what price the members Of the associa-
tion will pay.
The Fuggle hop is now ready to bar-
vest and picking will begin in some
yards in few days. AL. Jerman, who
runs a large hop yard on Howell Prairie,
has IA acres Of Fuggle hops that are
ready to pick, but will not start in on
them until August %.
He also has about seventy acres OF
late hops and says they are doing well
and that this weather keeps down the
lice. In his section he says the hop crop
is not as large as last year, but II the
good weather continues they will be able
TO save their entire crop. In his yard
they pick by weight at the rate of SOC
per hundred pounds, and from expert
ence in the past he believes 1t is the only
way TO be safe in harvesting the crop.
James Finny Of Brooks has 30 acres that
will be ready to harvest by September l
and says his yard is looking we'll.
