Good Coffee

is a question that's puzzling
many of our good housewives
today. Not from lack of
knowledge in knowing how to
make a good cup of coffee, but
from over pursuasion of
smooth tongued statesmen
that cannot sell a pound of
coffee without a string to it.
He's going all over the coun-

worth about I5c a pound in
actual quality, for rs or 3oc a

many, say ten, which amounts
to $500 and he will bring
you present worth retail Soc

nothing?
Call at our place and get a
pound of coffee fresh ground
while you wait and every
ounce of it stands for quality,

if its not good for the money
return what you have left and
get your money back after
you are convinced its no good.

Pittsburg, Pa. July 20.-Baron Julius

Washington to lay the steel car strike

Quoted an investigation and enough
facts were secured to warrant govern
ment Intervention.
1t is possible that the case viii be
put UP to President Taft for decision,
and that the department Of commerce
and labor will take charge OF the sit
uation here.
The mounted state constabulary and
deputy sheriffs appeared to have the
situation in control at the plants of the
Pressed Steel Car company at McKee's
Rocks and the Standard Steel Car Co.
at Butler, although in many quarters
the lull in hostilities was taken to pre-
sage a renewal Of violence, rioting and
taking of life.
BY noon efforts to reopen were aban-
doned by the steel officials and the
strikers still We're orderly.
The battle between the troopers and
the strikers yesterday morning followed
the attempt of 500 strikers to tear down
the company's high board fence at the
Bessemer & Lake Erie railroad switch.

frontage from Peter Crumpacker for
5000 That was at the rate of SEQ a
foot.
People opened their eyes. That is,
some of them did. They saw that there
would soon be a similar situation the
whole length of the street. Some per-
son would determine to get Holman
street frontage no matter what il cost
and the price would go up.
After that w. G. Paxton bought 175
feet from Ibach and announced plans
for a fine suburban home. Leo Wolf
sold rs feet he owned farther south on
Holman street for $1,000 to Louis Hob

Previous to that DR.. William u. Weis,

ENGINEER HAS
BEEN SENT HERE

No definite action on the part of the
Erie regarding a new depot or the re-
modelling Of the old one will be taken
until after the next board Of directors
meeting. Sept. ]. The management has
needed the call of Hammond insofar as
to send an engineer or draughtsman to
Hammond to get the plans of the sta
ton as It is now. No explanation was
given along with this step and leaves
room only for the most optimistic to
hope that the problem may be laid be-
fore the board of directors and they
favorable action.
It is hardly thought that the company
is taking the plans Of the local station
with the idea Of supplanting it with a
new one but rather to remodel it so as
to provide a separate waiting room for
ladies and gentlemen and provide each
with a Mushroom.

The officers and directors of the In

fected a permanent organization. The
same officers who were selected some

Punxsatawney by special train to the
scene of the trouble.
The appearance Of the state troopers
was received with yells of defiance by
1000 strickers and their sympathizers.
Captain Pitchers command to the mob
to disperse was met by a volley Of
shots, beer bottles stones. pieces of
boards and any missile that was handy.
When the first shot rang out the troop

their horses right into the mass Of men
and some women and children.
This terrified members of the mob,

was reported shot. and three others and
a woman We're said to be seriously
wounded. The troopers and deputy sher-
ifs are patroling around the works and
through the main streets.
President Frank y. Hoffstott Of the
Pressed Steel Car company has refused
to see any committee, saying: There
is nothing to arbitrate."
While exact figures. Of course, are
not obtainable, it is conservatively esti-
mated that a loss of 100000 a day is
incurred during the continuation of the
strike. Nearly 5000 men are idle. The
plant has a capacity of about 100 cars
a day, which sell at an average price of
$1,000 each The figures show that the
company is enduring a tremendous loss
while no product is being turned out.

BIG JUMP IN
REALTY VALUES
Continued from Page One.)

Continued from Page One.)
this matter out saw that the time would
come when the Webb frontage would
be exhausted. They saw that when
this frontage was exhausted the pur-
chaser would have to deal with the in
dividual owners of this property, and
in view of the fact that these owners,
for the most part have bought, not for
speculation but to build homes, the sup
ply would be away below the demand
and the prices would 90 up accord
ingly.
Merchants Spring Coup.
The reason for the sudden jump in
the price was the fact that Kaufman
& Wolf bought nine twenty hve-foot
lots. all that was left of the Webb es-
tate, and suddenly exhausted the sup
ply.
Immediately half a dozen procrastina-
tors who had been intending all along
to buy fifty or 100 feet Of this frontage
heard Of the Kaufman & Wolf pur-
chases, and there was a wild scramble
for the Webb $50 a foot lots. They
We're all gone.
These purchasers then turned to the
individual owners and found that none
of them would sell for less than $50 a
foot. John Dyer refused three pur-
| chasers his frontage near the corner
of Holman street and Conkey avenue
after he had been offered $50 foot,
cold cash. He claims his property is
worth SIS foot now and that 1t will
be worth 500 in two years.
That is how it happened that Hob
man street frontage jumped from a
minimum price Of $50 a foot to mini
mum price of $50 a foot in twenty
four hours. And the choice property is
being held for $50 to SIS a foot.
What started Scramble.
! The whole scramble for Holman
street frontage started when Leo Wolf
| bought 100 feet of Holman street park

and the rest of the property for sale is
in strong hands.
1t is predicted that before two years
more are past Holman street all the
way to Conkey avenue will be built up
with fine mansions, and after the side
streets are finally built,up, which ought
to be accomplished in another five years,
the people of Hammond Will have TO
look to a new residential center.

with a faculty for looking ahead are
purchasing acreage still farther south.
