most every householder in Altoona is

Several well-known chemists, imme-

containing one part coal and three parts
ashes, and better fuel than pure coal is
obtained.
The ashes OF anthracite coal burn as
rapidly as do those Of bituminous. This
mixture will, upon being placed upon a
burning fire, fuse into coke. like mass
and deposit but little residue.
While it is everywhere conceded that
Gilmore has conferred great boom upon

HISTORY OF FAMOUS CASE

The dismissal of the boundary case be-,
tween Delaware and New Jersey in the
Supreme Court of the United States an
nounced recently removes case which
has been pending for many years.
The controversy first appeared in the
Supreme Court on March 13, 1877, but 1t
really began in 1871, when the Legisia'
ture Of Delaware, claiming the right ur-
der the original grant to the state to ex-
elusive jurisdiction of the river to low
water mark on the New Jersey shore,
passed an act for the protection OF its
fishermen which required those from
other states who fished in Delaware waters
to take out yearly license, costing $2o,
under penalty OF heavy fine and confis-
cation OF nets and boats. The fight ragged
for two years. New Jersey fishermen
caught within the so-called "twelve-mile
CIRCLE being jailed and their apparatus
impounded. In 1873 truce was declared,
the Delaware Legislature suspending the
obnoxious law and agreeing to the eettle-
ment Of the controversy by commission
composed of three members from each
state. The commissioners were appointed,
but did nothing.
In 1875, when the Delaware members
Of the commission bad apparently finished
their labors and were discharged, the con-
fiict was renewed and the seizing OF boats
resumed. 1t continued until March 13,
1877, when, upon the order of the New
Jersey Legislature, the case was brought
to the Supreme Court of the United
States for adjudication, another truce
being agreed to by the officials Of the two
states. No arguments we're ever heard,
despite the efforts Of successive chief
justices to have the case disposed Of, and
it remained at the head OF the docket for
thirty-eight years, through posponements
requeted by one or the other party to the
controversy.
Two years ago the Legislatures Of Della
ware and New Jersey reached an agree
ment which settled the controversy.

THE aIMPROyED ROADS" LAW

In another column will oefouno
the law providing for the IS
suance of 100000 of bonds by
this county for the purpose OIL
building improved roads. Inc
Levy Court has decided to use
$4,000 Of this amount during
the present year, leaving Sl9o,ooo
to be expended in 1908. In addl-
ton to this there will be spent the
$4,000 provided for in the tax
levy and $4,000 appropriated by
the state. These last two sums
will also be spent next year, max
ing a total expenditure of $780,
600 in two years. In the two
wears St. Georges Hundred will
have $50, 500 or more spent for
modern roads. The first road to
be built as specified in the act Will
be from Mt. Pleasant to Boyd,s
Corner. It's probable that this
road will be built this year. Next
year, the road from the western
boundary of Middletown to the
the Maryland line will be built.
It is understood that out of the
$4,000 annual appropriation, the
road from Mt. Pleasant to Sum-
NIT Bridge is to be rebuilt. This
road lies half in st. Georges and
half in Pencader Hundreds. Ap-
poquinimink Hundred this year
will secure a road from Pine Tree
to Odessa thus completing the
one built last year from Town
send to Pine Tree and making a
modern highway between the two
towns. Blackbird Hundred is to
have road from Taylor's Bridge
to Fleming's Bridge, the survey
ors being at work there this
week.
No announcement has been
made of the kind of roads to be
built in the different sections but
we hope that some of them in
this territory may be gravel
properly constructed. The stone
macadam is too hard for farm
ing community such as ours.
