SMITH. THE COAL MAKER,
INTERESTS STERLING CAPITAL

Charles ". Smith. who spent four
or five years here in an effort to or
ganize y company to manufacture
hard coal from soft coal from pro-
cess discovered by him. has interest
ed Sterling and Rock Falls people in
his project and a company has been
organized, capitalized at $4,000 and
all the money subscribed. it is am
nounced. 1t is expected that the com
pany will be doing business before
the beginning of the cold weather in
the fall. Mr.. Smith has been in Ster-
ling for several weeks organizing the
company. and has met with remark
able success and the company is now
ready to begin business.
\ committee has been appointed TO
purchase tract of land and have
plans drawn for three buildings of
large dimensions to manufacture the
artificial coal. The company expects
to employ about 80 men to begin
with. and Mr.. Smith is sanguine that
this number will soon be doubled.
The coal is said to be staple arti-
Gle. and can be placed on the market
at less than two-thirds of the cost

there will be II great sale for the
