A Big Scheme for Light and Power.

Application was made at Harris
burg for a charter for the Harwood
Transmission Company, but for
some reason Governor Penny packer
refused to sign the necessary papers,
giving no reason for his action.
1t is the intention of this compa
ny to manufacture electricity and
furnish i, for the purposes of light,
heat and power in the counties Of
Luzerne, Columbia, Schuylkill
Berks, Lehigh and Northumberland.
The principal! incorporation of the
company is Calvin Pardee, ST., Of
Philadelphia. The other stock
holders are Alfred Pardee, Ario
Pardee, Calvin Pardee, Jr.. and A.
w. Drake, general superintendent
Of the Lattimer and Harwood coal
mines. The coal operators have
conceived the idea OF manufacturing
electricity at the mines, where fuel
is cheap, and then marketing the
magic fluid to all the country for
miles around. A big power plant
is being erected at Harwood and
lines OF wires will reach from the
mines to Reading, Allentown, Sun.
bury, Milton, Northumberland,
Danville, Mauch Chunk, Pottsville,
Shamokin, Bloomsbury and all the
towns and hamlets where electricity
can be used. The idea of the coal
operators is that they can manufac.
ture and develop electricity at such
a trifling cost that they can under
sell any one else in the market.
The main article so essential in the
production of electricity, coal, is
there in abundance. The men in
this enterprise propose to utilize the
vast banks OF culm and rice coal
that have accumulated during the
last half century for producing
steam with which to run the cleo
trical works. The projectors of the
Harwood Transmission Company
are confident that the cost of cleo
tricity, taking into account mainte-
nance of poles and wires and inter
est on the investment, can be con-
siderably reduced by locating the
power plants at the mines, thus
saving the freight on the coal
Sr.75 per ton to Philadelphia and
81 80 to New York-and the cost
Of its handling in the manufacturing
centres where it is used now in gen
Grating electricity. For the present
the projectors Of the company do
not care to give out any figures as
to the probable percentage OF reduc-
tion in the cost under the method
they have in view.

Mr. TaWney's Reasons for Opposing
State Aid in Food Tnspectiou.

Representative Tawney, yesterday, in
explaining his action in moving an
amendment to the item In the agri-
cultural appropriation bill prohibiting
the Secretary of Agriculture from seek
ing the cooperation Of State food in
spectors in executing the pure food
law, said that his reason was that the
States are now cutting down their ap-
preparations for food inspection since
the general government has taken jur-
isdictiOn of the subject
In his explanation in the House when
the amendment was up. Mr. Tawney
said that Secretary Wilson. when be-
fore the Appropriations Committee. said
that be expected to employ state food
inspectors This Mr.. Tawney objected
10 on the ground that it would not be
LONG before the general government
would be engaged in enforcing every
State food law in the Union. Further.
he urged that the general government
could not rely on State officials. Local
Influences would prevent their unbiased
action. and they would overlook viola
ticns Of the law.
Tor these reasons. Mr. Tawney die
not believe ii was good policy TO mix
the execution of the Federal laws with
those of the States
