Fafrmont and Other Coal Companies
in This Region Ship Large
Tonnage of Coal.
BIG SHARE OF LAKE TRADE
Is Enjoyed BY These Companies
Whose Product is Now Famous
the Wide World Over.

One-sixteenth of all the soft coal
transported through the Sault canal
by the lake route during the season
just closed was mined by the Fair
mont Coal Company and constituent
companies, from their various plants
in this region.
Oncial information of the lake
shipments. which were closed on
Friday last, are now at hand and it
shows that over six millions of tons
of soft coal were sent over the lakes
this season. during the official open
time, which ran from April LIST to
of over a million tons over any prev
ious season of the same length.
On November 31st the govern
ment removed it's lights along the
lakes and this indicated that the sea-
son was officially closed. 1t is pos
sible. however, that daring mariners
will ply those waters until the 18th
of the present month or later, and
for this reason the exact tonnage
cannot be ascertained at this time.
During the official season the Fair
mont Coal Company sent to the lake
trade about 100000 tons, which is a
material increase over the business
done in any previous season.
The tonnage OF anthracite shipped
to the lakes during the season was
about 100000 tons.
The probable increase of lake
trade during the season just closed
is about 100000 tons.
The products for a gigantic ship
ment fro mthis region during the
next season are bright. The Fair
mont Coal Company practically con-
trolls its docks and piers on the
Great Lakes and things were never
better reported than at present by
the Northwestern Fuel Company, a
branch of the local institution.

| 0CAl COAL CONCERNS
GET THE LAKE TRADE

| the B. & o. is doubling the capacity
of its piers by increasing the load
ing and unloading facilities. Pri-
waite docks owned by the Northwest
ern Company at Milwaukee. Duluth
and Washburn were never in better
shape than at present and the pros
poets for a big run to the lakes next
season were never better.
. While the tonnage to the lakes
represents about 20 per cent of the
entire output of the Fairmont Coal
Company. the officials of the big
local concern are now turning their
attention to other markets now that
the lakes are closed.
A fact not generally known, even
in coal circles, is that the Fairmont
Coal Company is now shipping about
four per cent of all the coal export
ed from this country. The export
trade has been growing steadily for
the past several years until the
local concern is one of the foremost
in the country in the supply of this
trade.
The marvellous development and
increase in the cement industry over
the country, opening up demand
for small coal which found but an
indefinite market in the past, has
created a great business in this line
for the local company. Coal that
was in little demand a few years ago
now finds a ready market among the
buyers for this new enterprise and
the Falrmont Coal Company is get
ting its share of the business.
A large per cent of the coal min
ed in the Fairmont region by these
companies is used for the produc-
ton of gas in the htg steel and iron
mills in and about Philadelphia. AS
an Illuminating gas coal the Fair
mont product is becoming more
popular each year and the increase
of shipments for this purpose is on
the grow each year.
AS a by-product coal, a business
that has been originated and built up
during the past five years, the pro-
duct Of the Fairmont Coal Company
is most popular and the local con-
Germs are getting a fair share OF this
ever growing business.
Judging from local standpoint.
the outlook for an excellent winter is
of the very brightest. The shortage
in coal which has been instigated by
the unuausl business conditions and
by the inability OF the transportation
companies to handle the production
of the various regions assures the
local region of a winters work of I'M
usual excellence. The mines in the
Fairmont region will run to the full
capacity of the car supply and every
indication is that the Fairmont
mines will guarantee work to all
labor which wishes to locate at the
various plants.
owing to the great demand for
coke felt in the west the production
is at its height in this region and
every Indication now is that the
ovens of this region will be fred for
the greater part of the coming win
ter.

othres reached happy elimination
and the story
Ends Happily.
An interesting scene is the third of
act 1 which represents a class room
of Miss Tropics academy a pretty
vehicle for several witticisms, hui
morous situations and pretty sing
ing.
The feature of the opera of
course is the singing. Miss Sim
mons takes the principal role and
she has a lumber of solos, duets
and responses which she rendered
with great ability. She has an ex-
cellent voice and one quite musical.
Miss Stewart as Miss Mallow
Charmed Her Auditors
with her singing and several solos
and duet in which she took part
brought forth generous applause.
Mrs EstilI played a perfect part
and her efforts constituted great
factor in the excellence of the play.
Mrs. Lamberd as Psyche was fine
and she kept the audience contin-
ually Laughing by the funny things
she was required to do in the diff
ferent scenes. Miss Estill and Miss
Borgess. as Pausy and SaIlle were
also very good in their parts. Mr..
John Saunders as DR.. Syntax, dem
onstrated that he is
A Born Actor
and has great histrionic ability
Mr.. Rapp as Prof scowles, rem
dered his part very nicely and won
great admiration with his solo
about Mr.. woodpecker. Sam Bent
lev, as Lord Lawntennis had the old
English Lord in Florodora beaten
forty ways and had a grace and pol
ish about his acting that was real
fetching. Prof. Gus Smith as Ar
thur harrington made a big hit in
his important role. His singing
was unusually good. and as he has
A Magnificent Voice
he supported the opera very strongly.
Mr.. MINIS as Jack Alden was sim
ply fine in that part and he too
came in for share of generous APP
plause in recognition of his singing
as we'll as acting. Fleming Holden
as Bobs, Lord Lawtennis's lackey
didn't say much but he was there
just the same.
Lack OF space forbids further in
dividual mention but suface to say
that the great success OF the opera
lay in the fact that all parts were
strongly represented. There wasn't
A Weak Point
In the whole thing and not a drag,
a slip nor mistake marred the en-
tire performance. The last scene
was a beautiful one and It was 1T
ting ending OF the play. All Of the
cast we're on the stage in stunning
and beautiful costumes and the eff

The opera was great success and
Mr.. Saunders deserves high praise

THE POSTDlSCOVERY.
AReveIatlon in Human Food.

Prev ious to the discovery OF the Post
process of changing the starchy part of
Wheat and Barley into a form of sugar,
many people suffered from what is known
as starch indigestion.
That was shown by gas and all sorts of
stomach and bowel trouble, (sometimes
ending in sppendicitis) brought on by the
nndiqeeted starch in wheat, oats, white
bread, cake. puddings, ETC., etc.
Nature ultimately Furnishes any one who

such is TO correct or remove the cause.
Therefore II was plain to Mr.. Post, In
working out his discovery, that people who
chow some weakness in dipesting the
starchy part of food, (which is much the
largest part of all we eat) must be helped
by having the starch digested OF trans

the safest and truest way TO do this would
