UNDEvELopED RESOURCES.


While Paducah is straining every
effort to induce industries to come to
this city, clay from the scarcely
scratched deposits on the Illinois Cen
tral and Nashville, Chattanooga &
st. Louis railroads, Within radius
of 100 miles of this city, is being
shipped TO the pottery and brick CEN
tiers in southeastern Ohio. Instead
of wasting more or less energy in a
hit and miss campaign to attract a
heterogeneous collection of Industries.
why not concentrate effort TO build
up the ceramic industries, and make
Paducah center for the southern
and southwestern trade. We have
the clay-all kinds of 1t, and 1t GER
tainly should be cheaper 10 ship the
material only so or rs miles to Pa
ducah than to ship it 500 miles to
Ohio to be manufactured and then
ship 1t back 1000 miles to be sold.
We have the river freight rates here,
just as they have at Steubenville,
Ohio. All We lack is an appreciation
of the value Of our unrealized assets.
There is near Grand RiveIS and other
nearby points the best fire brick clay
ia the world Along the lines of
both railroads there Is the finest kind
of material for, not only crockery,
but for the costly art ware, most of
which is lying idle. The supply, ac-
conding to the government reports.
is almost inexhaustible. Here we
have deposits Of raw material in easy
access by railroad; the facilities for
manufacturing it, with a territory
that would be exclusive. and four
nayigable rivers penetrating the ter
ritory in four different directions.
While we are crying for new indus
tries and fighting to get factories
away from other cities, why are we
shipping out our raw material to be
made into useful form and sold back
TO us at ten times the original cost?

preacher, who adds that the presi-

of talking about Roosevelt than
about the creator.

Every other municipal issue Is
obscured by the overwhelming pres
ence of the question, shall or shall
not the little boys and girls contin-
ne the heinous practice of skating-
actually skating-on the hallowed
sidewalks OF Paducah, causing pc
destrians to perform some of the
most undignified antics in evading
the skaters, who evince none of the
respect and consideration for their
elders, which was the most marked
Characteristic of the generation, that
now is doing the scampering to avoid
collisions. My, MY where there ever
such children? When we were boys
but, there, what's the use? We
didn't have any nice smooth con-
crete sidewalks, and our elders had
to pick their way through the mud
anyway.
