NATURAL GAS FOR
mount TAIN LAKE PARK?
1t May Be introduced into That Town
This Summer by the N. N. Gas Co.

The visit to Mountain Lake Park and
the inspection of that place by Mr..
Howard V. Thomas, of Buffalo, ~ Y,
president of the Northern Natural Gas
Company, accompanied by Mr.. J. D.
Northrup, general superintendent, Mr..
Joseph Cheuvront, local manager of
the same company, and DR.. w. W..
Davis, superintendent of the Mountain
Lake Park Association, has caused con-
siderable stir among residents and
property owners at that point who con-
fdently believe that the gas company
and authorities of the Park have ar
rived at an understanding agreeable to
all concerned and that gas will be piped
into the Park within a few weeks at
most.
Mr.. Thomas has given out no state
ment concerning the action Of the gas
company but it is thought that he is
favorablv impressed with conditions
and that should sufficient number of
contracts be signed by consumers pipes
will at once be laid through the streets
of the town.
With the introduction of gas into the
Park much of the bitter feeling which
has existed between residents and
the authorities will have disappeared
and harmony will again prevail.

RIGHT OF WAY PURCHASED
Baltimore and Ohio improvements
Will Make Many Changes.

Property owners along the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad right of way between
Skipnish and Corinth, four or five miles
west of Oakland, are being paid consid-
cradle sums by representatives of the
railroad company for property to be
utilized by the corporation in making
changes necessitated by the elimination
of curves and grades contemplated by
the surveys made recently through that
section of the country.
Beginning at the east entrance to
FIfty-eight cut, which has been consid-
cred for many years dangerous owing
to the heavy grade and sharp curve, the
roadway will be changed to practically
straight piece of track from that point
to Snowy Creek Curve, west of Corinth,
eliminating the compound curves around
Snowy Creek where many disastrous
wrecks have occurred.
To make these contemplated improve
ments the railway company has been
forced to purchase considerable proper
ty at a high figure. Last Saturday Mr..
Henry Wend sold his farm of few
acres to the company receiving for it
the sum of $4,000, and on Monday Mrs
Mary Flaherty, who owns the adjoining
place on the west, sold eleven acres for
$4,000. Other property to be acquired
by the company will be that belonging
to the Connell heirs, the home of Mr..
Charles F. White at Hutton, and a num-
Der of other pieces of land between Mr..
Whites home and Corinth.

 The resolutions passed ask the mer- chants to provide their stores with electric fans in the summer time, bet ter facilities for supplying fresh air to their clerks and customers. and to place chairs or stools for the use of the salespeople during hours when business is slack
 Members of the w C. T. U. say that conditions in local stores could. at trifling cost, be made far more sani- tary and pleasant. both for clerks and customers They declare that they themselves suffered inconvenience from the heat in the stories this sum mer, while shopping. and that the girls forced to remain throughout the long days underwent needless physical strain. Electric fans would greatly reduce the temperature and proper ventilation would help a great deal more. In other cities merchants have been induced to place stools behind their counters for the salesgirls and the w. C. T. U. believes that stools OF chairs should be in all the Phoenix stores.
 IL is not the plan Of the union to try to force. the merchants to do any thing to improve conditions in their establishments. but to bring the matter to their attention in a friendly way. It is believed that most of the mer- chants will accede to reasonable re- quests without protest.
 The ladies do not expect to have anything done this summer but hope that before the next heated season opens a great deal in the way of bet tering conditions for girls employed in the local dry goods stores will have been accomplished.

Why 1t Is So.

Doan's Kidney Pills cure the
cause of disease and that is why the
cures are always lasting. This rem

kidneys, helping them to drive out
of the body the liquid poisons that
cause backache, headache and dis
tressing kidney and urinary COM
plants. Smyrna people testify to
permanent cures.
George T. Newson, Spruance City,
Smyrna, Del, says: 81 suffered

was a constant, heavy pain in my
