READY TO BEGIN.

Agricultural Prosperity.

The ten years of prosperity this
country has enjoyed since 1897, and
the revolution which has been
wrought in the agricultural industry,
has placed the American farmer in a
position of financial and economic in
dependence such, as the rural popula-
tion of this or no other country has
ever known before, writes II. c. Mich
Olas in Van Norden Magazine. The
fixed capital represented ia the agri-
cultural industry to-day is approxi-
mately $25,OOO, 100000, or more than
four times the capital invested in all
of the manufacturing industries in the
country From the position the Ameri-
can farmer now occupies, no financial
disturbances, no business failures in
the outside world, no failure of any
one or several crops, no hysteria or
political agitation, can hope to dis
lodge him.

Gov. Sparks in Bad LiQht,

II a condition of riot exists or threat
ems in Goldffeld the governor of Ne
vada displayed singular impotence.
Mr.. Roosevelt has clearly enunciated
the federal obligation in any case
which may describe the Goldfield dis
turbance. A state has no right to
look to the federal government for a
discharge of it's own police duties The
lack of state initiative which Gov.
Sparks has eXemplified has frequent
ly characterized the attitude of vari-
GUS commonwealths toward the whole
range of governmental activities
both in the making of laws and in the
enforcement of those possessed. 1t is
this disposition to be inefficient that
throws so large burden on the ma
tiohaI S@El.

Almost simultaneously with the re-

news comes from Ottawa that as a
result Of the explorations of Capt.
Bernier in the arctic a total area of
at least 100000 square miles is claimed
for Canada. 1t would be rash to say

The Fleet.

The fleet, we are told, will be
stranded on the Pacific side unless
congress provides the money for the
return cruise. Well, let nobody lose
any sleep on that score. 1t is the ma
tons fleet, and all our hearts are with
it. We all want it to make the jour
ney with safety, and make everybody
in sight or hearing on the Pacific side
proud and happy. AS for the rest, that
will come in good time. The party
which for campaign or any purposes
should propose to limit the movement
of the fleet, or play politics at it's ex-
pense, would so completely offend the
spirit of the American people as to
make itself contemplate in their eyes
Its doom, for next year at least, would
be sealed. The fleet is all right, and
so is the country.

Prof. Edward s. Morse talking to
the Technology students about Japan,
spoke of the simple dress of the stu
dents there as being one of the first
things that he noticed. When he
asked the reason of it, he was told
that it was a custom to prevent feel
ing against the well-to-do class by the
scholars who could not afford to dress
more expensively. Dartmouth did the
same thing for the same reason two
years ago, and the boys took so kindly
to rough-and-ready costumes that be-
fore long the college authorities had
to suggest to them that they were get
ting altogether too careless about
their personal appearance.

Why the Bridoe Fell.

There will be a sigh OF relief all
substantial proof that the Quebec
bridge disaster was the result of care
lessness which might have been avoid
ed which ought to have been pre-
vented. This seeming paradox lies in
the fact that at first il appeared as if
the fault lay in something outside the
ken of engineers, which made every
large bridge in the country seem po-
tentially unsafe. That the engineer
ing plans as originally drawn were
correct and that they We're changed by
an aged and infirm supervising en-
gineer apparently are accepted as the
fundamental facts in the case. 1t was
a man who was at fault and not en-
gineering principles. OF course, says
Philadelphia Inquirer, this does not
lessen the terrible aspects of the
tragedy. but it does show that the
as any other structure. 1t was the
ghost of some unknown principle in
mechanics or physico-chemistry that
frightened engineers and made every
traveller tremble as he crossed one OF
the mighty structures which are de-
servedly the pride of engineering,
Now that the ghost is laid there will
be at least the satisfaction of knowing
that it is not likely we shall have an
other such accident.

Gold Imports and Trade Balance.

The monthly statement just issued
by the United States bureau of statis-
tics on the specie and merchandise
balance of exports and imports gives
summary idea of the movements this
year so far. sThe import of gold for
the month was one of the largest on
record for any single month, the net
gain being $62, 13S,S67, against $6,971,-
SIT in November 1906, and $4,065, 5,472
in November, 1905. But the gain in
gold for the II months of 1907 was
but $44,626,4S2, showing that prior to
November the gold movement had
been about $1S,000,00O against the
United States. For the first II
months of 1906 the United States
gained S103, ,131 $50 in gold; but in the
same period of 1906 the net import
was but $2,13S,5S9. The relation be-
tween the apparent merchandise bal
ance of trade and the gold import
seems to exist in the showing, as the
former was 1886, ,405 ,439 for the first II
months of this year, and $421 ,691 .645
for the same period of 1906; while in
the same time of 1905 the merchandise
balance was 349,250,524. Between
1906 and 1907 loss of $36, 900, 900 in
the merchandise balance was accom-
panied by decrease of $5S,000,000 in
gold imports; while 1905, with a mer-
chandise balance s36,000,O0O less than
that of 1907, had net gold imports $42,-
600, 900 lower. Whether these figures
indicate the invisible factors, or are
merely coincident, may be easily a
matter of dispute

NUMBERING BOXES
ON R. T. D. ROUTES

BY recent ruling of the post office
department the boxes on the thousands
OF rural routes in the United States
are ordered to be numbered. The num-
Der is to be assigned by the post mast
er to the box owners and this number
must at once be legibly and durably
inscribed by the owner in conspicu-
GUS place on the outside of the box.
Notice to the above effect has been
sent out from the local post office to
box owners on the several r. f. d.
routes leading from Danville. Accom-
panying the notice is the number as
signed by the postmaster to be placed
upon the box. The order is to be car
ried out at the box owners earliest
convenience.
An arrangement is made whereby
new boxes may be installed between
those numbered consecutively with
out leading to confusion or inconveni-
ence. In case it should become neces-
sary to place boxes between two 9TH
ers, numbered say, and the new
boxes would be "A a." - b." and
4 C" in succession.
No one seems to have any clear idea
as to why the boxes are to be number
ed-what purpose is to be served.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infiamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor-
ed to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out Of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an int1amed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

A MODERN
COAL POCKET

The machinery is being installed in
the modern coal pocket, which is be-
ing erected by Robert J. Pegg between
the d. L. & w. railroad and North
cumberland street near Mahoning creek.
L. II. Pierce, of Chicago, the erect
ing engineer, is ON the ground and ex-
poets to remain until the pocket is in
operation, which, he states, will be in
the course of ten days.
The modern coal pocket differs from
anything of it's kind in this section.
The plant is being furnished by the
Howe Scale company of Illinois.
Among the advantages claimed for the
system is that it not only facilitates
the handling of coal and leads to re-
markable saving of labor buT it also
prevents breakage, which by any 9TH
er method of handling coal, is factor
worth taking into account, detracting
as it does considerably from the value
of coal Breakage in this type of pock-
ct, Mr.. Pierce states, is from three to
five per cent less than when coal is
shoveled off the car.
In the case of a modern coal pocket
the coal is dumped from the car into
a hopper under the track and elevated
from there into the pocket with an in
clined Harrison conveyor operated by
a Howe pasoIane eugine
Distinguishing features of the mod
ern coal pocket are the Sackett screen
wagon spout and the screen and bag
ger with which it is equipped. BY the
process employed not a pound Of coal
can leave the pockets without being
thoroughly screened. 1t is here that
the labor saving occurs quite as much
as in unloading the cars and filling
the pockets
BY means of the screen and bagger a
ton of coal can be bagged in one min
ute By means of the screen wagon
spout a wagon box can be filled with
loose-thorOughly soreened-ooal in a
few seconds of time In either case
one man is all that is needed and about
all that remains for him to do is to
manipulate the levers opening and
closing the pockets. There are twelve
spouts in all. The modern coal pocket
is massive wooden structure and is
quite a conspicuous object among the
buildings in the lower part Of town.
