Application for Privileges Will
Receive Atte ntion From
Council.

One of the questions that will likely
come up for consideration before the

for these privileges has been filed
with the clerk of the city.
The company Is DESTROYS of running

line, so that the cars can switch on to
Tuscarawas street, thence to the pub
lie, square. and then continue on down

The other spur is to allow the cars
to turn from West Tuscarawas street
on the return trip down Cleveland ave-
nue. south to Ninth. then up to the

Famous St. Elary's Reservoir

reservoir, far famed as the largest ar
tifcial body of water in the world, are
gradually disappearing is no longer q
n after of doubt and the remarkable
shrinkage is a cause OF much discus
sio' and regret. A dreary expanse Of
thick muddy waters and a myriad OF
old stunps are now the chief scenic
features of what was once one OF the
most attractive bodies Of water in the
country.
Last winter fierce fight was ragged
in tho legislature for the abandonment
of the reservoir and canal and the sub
division of the artificial lake INTO far
ming lands. II was said that various
oil companies. believing that the Oil
output is not yet exhausted. were back
of the SCENE to drain the reservoir.
After 1t was decided not to drain q
strange occurrence took place. The res
ervoir began to shrink, but apparenkts
not through human agency. Hundreds
of acres of the once submerged basin
became dry land. many acres were
converted into profitable corn felfls
and last wear the state realized over
$4,000 for land leased for farming
purposes. At the east end the water

Open new FIELDS
And Will Build . Railroad TO
Garry Coal to Market
Large Option
Taken.

A Joint stock coal company has been
formed which has as one Of its OBJ
jects the opening of the coal fields
near Guilford, says the Salem Herald.
The officials OF the company have de-
cided to build a railroad from Teegar-
Gen to Guflford to get the product to
market.
The men who are now in the COM
pany have had in contemplation the
launching of this company for long
time. It was one OF the dreams OF the
late H. G.. Folts, the electric railway
promoter. Mr.. Folts was also interest
ed in the coal business and 1t was one
of his schemes to run railroad to
Guilford connecting with the electric
line and also with the Erie system. fie
also had in contemplation the running
of the coal mines by the installation
of electric machinery.
The company has purchased. leased
and has options on 100 acres Of coat
land in Hanover and Center townships
MIR. Foltz was member Of the stock
company which was organized. but 1t
is not thought his death will have any
effect with the building Of the railroad
and the operation of the coal fields. A
prominent New York man is Interest,"
ed in the company and it is said that
he will put in a large part Of the n
nances to go ahead with the project.
Card C Prosser, of Lisbon, are interest
ed in the company and 1t Is said will
be the managers of the new company.
Coal fields are growing very scarce
and all the large operators OF the coun-
try are on the lookout for new fields
where the black diamonds can be
found 1t is thought that work on the
new railroad which will be about three
miles long will be started within a
short time. The route has already
been surveyed and 1t will not take long
to construct 1t after 1t Is once started.
Thousands of acres in that vicinity
have been leased by operators and the
entire territory will soon be gobblen
up as the coal men know that 1t is a
good field.
