COAL DEAL.
Facts About the Recent Western
Kentucky Purchases and
Ownership.
The North American Co. will Secure En-
tire Capital Stock Of West Ken
lucky Coal Co.

So much has been put into
print in the daily press recently
about tire transfer of coal prop
critics in Western Kentucky TO
The North American Company,
the soul of which company, the
dispatches tell us, is the wealthy
and widely known New York
capitalist j. PIerpont Morgan,
that glimpse at rock bottom
facts will prove interesting. The
BEE has made special effort to
get these facts, now presented to
our readers.
The properties that have been
absorbed by the North American
Co., are the mines and equip.
ment Of Tradewater Coal Co., of
Sturgis, the United States Gas
d Coal Co., Of Sturgis, the
Wheatcroft Coal Co., of Wheat
croft, the Baker properties in
Webster county near Dixon, and
various coal rights swelling the
total acreage in lands and min
ing rights to about twenty-five
thousand acres.
The Wheatcroft deal is the last
to be consummated and there
has been denial that this sale
", made, but it can be stated
" excellent authority that
Eheatcroft mine has been
ed for ard will come intothe
Us of the North American
in due time.
4 farious large figures have been
ted as the marks at which
>ese different properties have
changed han Is, all of which have
been more OF less guess work.
For instance, the Wheatcroft
deal is quoted all the way from
1880, 900 to $500, 600, the latter
(figure, if authentic, said to in
&lude river equipment and ele-
yators at various Ohio and Miss
ibsippi river points. 1t is safe
1roposition that all such specu-
lhtion as to values ia such trans
fers are generally without au-
thentic information and often
wide of the mark. IL seems
most likely. however, that The
North American Co., has paid
very good prices for the prop
critics they have acquired. What
appear to be the most authentic
figures are Tradewater Coal Co.,
$500, 900; United States Gas &
Coal Co., 100000; Baker prop
critics, 100000; Wheatcroft,
100000 The properties bought
include the coal elevators at
Paducah and Memphis, and the
towing equipment Of the United
States Coal Co. 1t is the pur-
pose of the West Kentucky Coal
Go. to ship coal by river, thus
opening markets not now at
tainabIe by railroad transporta-
ton.
These properties have been
bought for and held by one com
pany instead of two or three
companies, as some published
reports have said. This pur-
chasing company is The North
American Co., of New York, in
the directorate of which COM
pany appears the name of Rob
ert Bacon. Mr.. Bacon is one Of
j. Pierpont Morgan's partners
in the banking business and thisl
fact has given rise to the wide
spread connection of the name
Of the wizard of Wall Street
with these ventures. Whether
Mr.. Morgan is actually interest

1t is Done.

Well, the main work on the CITY
park lake is done, so there. Mr.,
W. P. Carter, the contractor, did
the work and di it we'll. But Mr..
Carter does all his work we'll. His
work on the Phyllis was the best
on the canal. But he had a strong
incentive to slight the city park
work. He took it, knowing that if
all the conditions proved favorable,
he could barely come out even.
Some of the conditions proved very
unfavorable Very little material
could be taken from the bottom of
the lake on account of surface mois.
ture, SO it nearly all had to be
hauled long distance. In conse-
quence he will be loser by a consid-
cradle amount. The proper and
graceful thing would be for the
people of Caldwell to recompense
him in some way. We hope it may
be done. In any event, Mr.. Carter
is entitled to the gratitude of the
community for the excellent man
ner in which he has executed his
contraction the honest work he
has done in the face of strong
temptation to do otherwise. Those
people who have been skeptical OF
Indifferent about the lake and the
park will experience change ot
heart if they will go over and ex'
anime the improvement. One hall
of the town doesn't know what the
other half is doing. 1t seems to US
there ought to be public dedication
services or something like that
because, in fact, the first importau
step in the beautifying of Caldwell
is just completed.

the Portland exposition. The fare,
it is understood, will be $1,000

advantage of this opportunity to
visit the great fair. 1t is hoped
that Caldwell and vicinity will be

interview, he said to THE TRIBUNE: ::
1--WE are going to have a big
fair. The people all over the coun-

are more and more appreciating the
fact that the fair is primarily for
their benefit and they are more and

it is to them. This year there will
be many new features. 1t is the

there will be no extra charge. The

Messrs A. K. Steunenberg and

feet 1t will consist of full height
basement and two stories above
oround, The first story will be de-

INNER floor devoted to Offices or
other purposes. The report that
the upper story would be used for
opera or theatrical purposes is not
confirmed. The building will have
all modern conveniences and be
handsomely finished both within
and without. Excavation is now
in progress and contract for con-
struction will soon be let. The site
of the new building is on the corner
of First avenue west and Second

them for the various offences with
which they were charged. AS usual in

tions were not forthcoming.

their guilt. the men having been pick
ed up at various places during the
night by the officers.
Charles Roselin and Roy Casey
we're each charged with being drunk
and disorderly and were each given
$40 or five days. The disorderliness
on the part of the former consisted

language to women on the street

Chinaman Gets Seven Years.

Wong Tung Hee, the Chinaman con-
victed of the crime of manslaughter
at the recent session of the superior
court for the killing of Eng Chung the
latter part of May, was yesterday SEN
fenced to serve seven years in the
penitentiary. says the Walla Walla
Union. Wong's attorneys made siren
uous efforts for the granting of n
new trial. claiming as grounds for the
same that the prosecuting attorney
had made statements in his arguments
before the jury that were not substan-
tiated by the evidence, and that the
Judge had erred in several places in
giving his instructions to the jury
Judge Brents denied the motion for
a new trial and Charley Tung was
called as interpreter for the defend
ant while sentence was being passed.
