COAL IN
ABUNDANCE

There is a plethora of coal in Dan
willie at present, judging from Ieyela-
tions made at the Water Commission
er- meeting Monday afternoon,
which presents curious contrast to
the situation year ago when coal
could scarcely be obtained at any
price. The Water Works finds it
self with no less than four carloads of
good river coal on hand, shipped by
some parties unknown and which the
Water Commissioners never ordered,
Through a misunderstanding three Of
the carloads in question have been un-
loaded at the Water Works.
The entire session yesterday after
noon was spent in trying to straighten
out the difficulty and in adopting
measures which would prevent its rep
etitiou IN the future.
The clerk at the Pennsylvania sta
tion was unable to state by whom the
coal had been shipped although it was
hboN Il JllAi II thLlC Lloili AouiiDdI y
Mr.. German explained that several of
the coal diggers" there have formed
a combination, the shipping under the
new order of things being delegated to
one individual The supposition is
that tho coal men finding themselves
with good deal of coal on hand and
Discovering that the Danville Water
Works was on the list of patrons decid-
ed to unload portion of the excess
here.
Having accepted the three car loads
the Water Commissioners could not
see that anything remained for them
to do but to wait for the bill and pay
for the coal.
The price paid for river coal deliv-
cred at South Danville is 81. 80 per
ton. Mr. German explained that by
actual experiment at the Water Works
it was discovered that river coal, pre-
served as it has been under the water,
has il anything greater heat produc
ing power, than the same quantity of
coal shipped from the mines and ex-
posed for greater or less period to
the air
Although not ordered, on motion Of
Mr.. Schatz it was decided to accept
the one car load Of coal consigned to
the Water Works still standing at
South Danville.
The clerk was instructed to notify
the Sunbury dealers that hence forth
no coal will be accepted unless especi
ally ordered by the Water Commits
sioners. As precaution no coal will
be unloaded by the water Superintend-
ent until he ascertains both by whom
it is shipped and by whom ordered.

WORKING ON
RIGHT OF Way

W. r Pascoe. presid ent, and ". 4.
Heller, secretary and treasurer OF the
proposed Dauville and Bloomsbury
Electric railway. are putting IN week
Of solid work on the right of way be
tween the two towns.
Nj. Pacsoe stated last evening that
thev have made considerable progress
during the week and that the right Of
wav for the trolley has been secured
from eighty-hvo per cent of the prop
erty owners They are laboring very
hard to win over those who oppose the
trolley. Mr. Pacsoe states that the
company has purchased private right
of way through several of the prop
critics and that sooner than have alb
andoned the enterprise it would have
purchased a private right of way along
the entire distance between the two
towns. The company has everything
in readiness for building. The rails
have been ordered and Will be shipped
as soon as they can be used, Were it
not for the few people withholding
the right of wav he would begin the
construction of the road Immediately.
1t is quite unfortunate that the op-
position to the trolley along the Bloom
road should hold out SO pcrsiStently,
especially as the number who object
is so small compared with the many
who are anxious to have trolley and
haye so willingly granted the right of
way. Those who oppose will probab-
Iv take a different view of the matter
when they reflect that by their opposi-
tion they are keeping out OF the com
munity an improvement which the
majority wish to promote they
are deprfying this same majority Of
pleasures and COnveniences attending
the trolley to which they have just
and natural right. In the matter of
schooling alone it counts for great
deal So long as the last property
ownJr holds out in his refusal thore
is not one of the farmers along Bloom
road now awaiting the trolley in ord
er to avail themselves of the good
schools of Danvillo aud Bloomsbury
who will be able to educate his chill
dren as ho would wish.
Mr.. Pascoe is surprised that the
Board of Trade of Danville has not
taken the matter up. The Board OF
Trade has been laboring to secure
new industries A trolley is not a
new industry. it is true, but an elect
ric railway connecting Danvllle and
might prove worth sever
al now industries by bringing our
town into the market, when its desir
able situation and facilities for ship
ping might be expected TO do the rest
and the new industries would take
care of themselves.
This is one opportunity and the only
opportunity that Danvillo has ever
had to secure an electric railway. 1t
clearly becomes the duty OF the town
to cooperate with those who have the
work in hand.
1t might be suggested that the dir
ectors of the Board OF Trade meet at
once to consider how they may be Of
assistance. Should committee be ap-
pointed to wait upon Mr.. Pascoe it
would be sure of a warm welcome and
the matter could be fully discussed
and procedure arranged whereby the
Borough and Trolley Company could
work together for the best interest of
tho electric railway.

HORSE THIEVES.

The Vidette has received a letter from Fort Huachuca, dated May 9. which contained the following informa- tion:
 "On the night of April 29 bold horse thieves cut the wire of the Turner Bower pasture on the old Coches ranch and ran off fifteen head of good saddle animals. The wire was cut about one mile above the house and the loss was not discovered until sun up. Mocassin John, Johnnie Pycatt, Jack and Bill Bowers immediately hit the trail. Bill Bowers was lost in the shuttle and the other three boys made a record break ing ride to Santa Cruz, Mexico. where all but three head of the stock were recovered. At Santa Cruz Sheriff Tom Turner joined the party with fresh horses and another start was made. As the trail was fresh and the boys were hitting it hard. it is thought they will bring the theives to justice, and stop the growing practice of cattle and horse stealing in this county. Jack Bowers received a new name on the trip. It is Speedy. ."-Nogales Vidette.

And in the quality of beets MT. Kapke says this valley ought to raise the best that can be grown anywhere. The sugar comes very largely from the sun shine. Each beet. he says, is itself little sugar factory. But very little sugar is made during the time the beec is growing. But after it gets it's growth by proper cultivation and irri- gation the quantity of sugar may be increased and should be in this valley to the maximum of what is possible anywhere.
 Continuing the conversation along the line of climate, Mir. Hapke said that not only do the northern farmers have to do their work when they are most busy, sometimes perhaps to the neglect of other crops, but their winters work is severe. They have frequently to har- vest their beets late after the ground is full of frost, and then have to bury them in the ground till they
