RECORD OF COAL HOLE
What the DriIIers Found when the
Coal Prospect Hole was Drilled
in the Search for Coal.

Many people in this vicinity will be
interested in knowing just what this
earth is composed of for several hun
dred feet below the surface, and to
crafty their curiosity we have secured
a copy of the record or log kept by
West & Son who drilled the coal pros
pect hole just west Of Leon, down to a
depth of 554 feet. The drillers passed
through seven veins of coal, with a
total of 154 inches, or 13 feet and in
ches. The heaviest vein of coal was 33
inches in one body, but there is only
about two feet of clay between the two
bottom veins, the top one being 19 in
ches and the lower one 16 inches, and
many persons think these two veins
run together within short distance.
Even if they do not they could both be
mined at the same time.

Place the Webb Summit route

over tLe hill at the Summit and

mentioned above the deserved
benefit of the services and give us
a chance to get a daily at least be-
fore it gets week old, This Will
make the best paying route out of

additional mile or cost an addi
tional dollar. Investigate or send
someone that can. A PATRON.

Freiner after Railroads.

j. R. Freiner, representative
from Vinton county, who won his
fight to have his name at the head
of the 2-cent passenger fare law,
is so pleased with the operation
of his first pet, that he is planning
to extract few more teeth from
the railroads and other public
service corporations.
Mr.. Freiner is ready to lead the
fight for largely extended powers
for the state railroad commission.
He does not believe that the public
service corporations are making
complete returns under the differ
ent exercise tax laws, and would
have them regularly examined by
the state, to make certain that
taxes are collected on all business
which can be credited to Ohio. -

ROUTE SEVEN
FROM LOGAN
Logan, Ohio, Oct. 10, 1907


EDITOR DEMOCRAT. SENTINEL:
| see in your last weeks issue a
letter from Fourth Assistant Post.
master General, =. V. De Graw,
endeavoring to ustifY the depart
ment in the change of Route No.
z, from Logan to Webb Summit
No. 1. If you will allow me just
a little space in your valuable pa
per i will endeavor to put the gem
tleman right.
There Is not a bit of reason in
his statement that "the Webb
Summit Route can be served on
precisely the same lines as were
formerly travelled" Everybody
concerned knows that there was
not single box on Route until
you reached Chas. Nunemaker's,
almost half way between Logan
and the Summit. They also know
that the carrier, as the route is
now established, starts out from
Webb Summit toward Logan and
goes as far as James Halls, about
half way, or perhaps Il miles, and
retraces to the Summit. Instead
of cutting out Al miles he only
cuts off 81. These are absolute
facts and can be verified by com
petent, honest investigation.
But why did lie change the
route at all, other than to add de-
serving patrons. He could have
added 28 boxes to the route with
out adding single mile. Here
are the names, write them at Lo-
gan, Ohio, If you want informa-
tion: w. f. Leonard, Homer
Montgomery, Arch Montgomery,
A. M. Marks, Thomas Lehman,
Samuel Howdyshell, Harvey
Woods, Abe Snider, VIM. Geiger,

McGomery, John w. Aurand,
Joseph Griner, Abe Mohler, Cart
Webb, Porter Sweazy and Lewis
Price. These are farmers, tax
payers, citizens thatbuild churches
and school houses, patriotic, rep
resentative citizens, and deserve
the conveniences accorded tt cir
neighbors under similar circum-
stances. Why don't you give it
to them? 1t does not cost the
Government one extra cent.
How is it now for service on the
new route. The gentleman says:
"The question of remedying this
defect (of course admitted) is
now under consideration" There
is no mail train between Logan
and New Straitsville other than
under the supervision of the
Straitsville Branch of the HI. V.
Ry. The railroad depends en-
tirely on the hackmen to convey
the mail to. and from the depot.
1t frequently occurs that the hack
mea deliver few passengers be-
fore delivering the mail to the
postofifce. In such cases the mail
comes too late for classification
and necessarily is "a hours late
The remedy, and the only one, put
a postal clerk on the Straitsville
Branch, at cost of between 5000
and $l 900 per year, place the
mails under government SUI ervi'

can get service. But then to lay

Traction Line Through
Hooking Valley.

There was lively tilt before
the board of public works, Tues
day evening, over the proposition
of Israel Foster, of Athens, and
his associates to build an electric
line from Lancaster to Athens and
the lease of the bank of the old
Hooking canal for that purpose.
Hon. III. M. Daugherty, on be-
half of the Scioto Valley Traction
company, said that such propo-
sltion could not be financed at
this time, and it was against the
interests of the state to grant any.
one lease of the property that
they might go about the money
markets of the country and use it
for speculative purposes. Mr..
Foster made a hot reply and de-
clared his willingness to show the
board within the next thirty days
that the people behind him meant
business and were able to build
the traction road, on contract
that would safeguard the state in
every way.
The members of the board
agreed that if at the end of that
time, Mr., Foster was able to show
his ability to construct the line
that he would be given the lease
The lease will be made on a valua-
zion of $52, 800 with interest at G
per cent. annually, and with
$50, 600 spent in work the fret
year, and 100000 the second,
with the entire road to be built
