looked in the prime of health. Mr. Green went to
the far west in the interest of Mr.. Joseph Kaye
who has extensive numbering interests in the
State of Washington; he stopped at Philchuck,
Wash, where he was the guest of Mr. Jas. L.
Norie, who is interested in, and is manager, of
one of the largest numbering operations in that
state, in connection with Mr.. JOS KAYE His
visit extended through all the great northern

Gone to South Dakota.

Fred Julian departed yesterday after
noon for Custer, South Dakota, accom-.
panied by his faithful employee, Mr..
Thomas McGrain. Mr.. Julian has ex-
tensive mining interests there that re-
quire his attention. During his many
years residence here he was closely
identified with Emporium and literally
contributed to the upbuilding of EN-
porium. He never turned down an
appeal. We regret he has found it
necessary to leave Emporium, His
beautiful home on Broad street was
yesterday leased to Mr.. E. H. Hughes,
mining engineer and contractor with
Emporium Iron and Coal Company,
who will take possession at once.

Letter From MIR. Walker.
BUFFALO, N. Y, JUNE s, 19I
Now Onward


My DEAR CAPTAIN Johnson
This is the day appointed for the
meeting of the Board of Trade very
much wished to attend, and fully ex-
pected to, but at the last moment find
l cannot leave uncompleted the errand
which has held me in this city for the
past few days.
Had been able to attend the meet
ing of the Board, and been accorded
the opportunity, l should have been
glad to bear witness to the bounty of
our county to her people. We all
know, and appreciate the lavish gifts
of the finest lumber that she has turn-
ished, but as yet few of US realize the
additional store of treasure she has pre-
pared and guarded for us through the
ages, in the form of clays. Surely the
builders need have no fear of a cessa-
ton of their craft because we have
taken, almost to the exhaustion of her
lumber store, for carefully laid away
in the higher land elevations, are nice
ly assorted strata of different clays for
different uses. 1t is true that in the
suitable preparation of these clays heat
must be applied. but here again our
county has been most kind. Some
times underlying, sometimes everything
| she has placed the coal for the general
ing of the needed heat. She has also
anticipated ages beforehand the Difficult
ties that abound in the sorting of clays,
so she herself has sorted and cleaned
the different kinds of clays as other
counties have not done, and has given
us, first, stratum of clean, soft fire.
clay, about eight feet thick from which
we can make the following ware so
much needed Sewer tile; Conduit
tile, for electric underground wires;
building tile; high grade face brick, for
building purposes.
Below this stratum of soft fire clay
about twenty feet, there lies a vein of
hard fire clay about nine feet thick,
from which can be produced the fol-
lowing materials: Fire brick, for high
refractory purposes; cruciples, for re-
duction purposes, such as brass
foundry and similar work and cupola
Innings.
Finally she has been most generous
with large vein or stratum of the
purest vitrifying shale. The list of
materials that can be produced from
this stratum would indeed be a long
one. The clay industry in our county
is still too new to have brought to the
county of Cameron the full measure of
good name that is her just due, but
still it is true that she has already at
tanned no small degree of favor in the
pawn G industry as a producer of high
grade paving block, and now, at all
lettings for brick pavements, in all the
large cities of the New England and
Atlantic States, as well as Canada, our
neighbor across the line, the ''shale
PAYERS" of Cameron are always ment-
ioned, and, if accorded the successful
bid, gratefully we lcomed by engineers
and taxpayers.
To date only one branch of the clay
industry has been developed in Cam
eron county. She has given to us gen

erously, it remains for US her citizens
to profit by her gifts, and bring her
name to fair prominence, as she de-
serves, in proportion to her gifts to US.
These are the facts, my dear Cap
tain, that would present to the Board
of Trade, of Cameron county, together

Another Emporium Boy Makes
Good Record.

Frank Fl. Murry, of st. Marys, (an
Emporium product) visited in town
last Friday, accompanied by his wife.
Frank is one of the most active busi-
ness men in st. Marys, being President
of the Elk Engineering Works, Mana
ger of ST. Marys Electric Co., Chief
Engineer Of st. Marys Brewing Co.,
and Consulting Engineer for Hall,
Kaul & Co. He is busy man and
seems to carry the weight of his many
responsibilities with ease and comfort.
Give an Emporium boy a fair chance
and he always makes good. This re-
minds one of the fact that many of our
young men are Ginning up the ladder,
which should be an incentive to more
of our boys.

AT the close of the enjoyable dinner,
President LaBar wrapped for order
when he called upon Hon, l. K. Hook
ley to act as toast master, who
promptly rang the bell and introduc-
ed His Honor, Mayor Howard, who
welcomed, on behalf of the Borough of
Emporium, the Board of Trade and
its guests.
w. H. Howard in his address of wei.
come said that heretofore there had
been board of trade in Emporium but
they never did anything and died a
natural death. 1t was followed by the
ladies forming chamber of commerce
and they did something. Their last
act was the erection Of the town
clock in the court house six or seven
years ago.
Mr.. Howard said we had as good a
town as was to be found anywhere,
with as low taxes and insurance rates;
with as pure air and water and as
healthy place as there is in Penna.,
or in the world; we have good hotel
accommodations, railroad advantages
and banking facilities; good schools
and an orderly town; fine scenery and
drives for miles in all directions from
the borough.
He said that while we had all these,
and others added. He hoped that
soon we would have free mail delivery,
government building, paved streets.

sewerage, pollution of the streams
stopped, larger water system, military

we have the raw materials at our door;
the coal veins further developed; a
hospital, our mineral springs utilized
more, railroad up Rich Valley that
went somewhere so as to avoid Keat-
ing Summit, ST. Marys and Kane hills;
better passenger railroad facilities and
at some time in the not very distant
future, population of $4,000 or more
and the hills of the county reforested
so as to supply both lumber and water.
Mr.. Mullin responded very briefly TO
Mr.. Howard.
At this time numerous letters of re-
gret were read from invited guests, the
most prominent being from United
States Senator Boies Penrose, Cover
nor Stuart, Mr.. III. r. Laird, the hust-
ling Sec'y of Williamsport Board of
Trade and Col. J. o. Brookbank of

then introduced and gave an interest
