Old underground Railroad Stations
in Cumberland County 70 Be
Marked.

Carlisle, Pa.-Members Of the Cum
berland County Historical society are
initiating a movement to mark in some
fitting manner famous old landmarks
that are fast being razed, which al
one time played important parts In the
underground railroad system" which
prior 70 the Civil war made the Cum
berland Valley famous
The underground roads' were In
operation as early as 1885, and the
mountains Of southern Pennsylvania
made the Cumberland valley a natural
route for runaway slaves. One OF the
principal stations of the road" was
at Boiling Springs, where Daniel Kauf-
man was agent" from 1885 to 1s4S.
Kaufman lived near thick woods, In
which he hid the fugitives, and often
in iuclement weather he used his house
and barn as hiding places. Other
agents who were instrumental in help
ing the slaves were Stephen Weakly,
Philip Brechbill and Mode Griffith
On one occasion Griffith found nine
negroes on a ridge near Boiling
springs. They we're secreted. fed by
kaufman and later taken to Harris
burg. Another party Of 13. guided by
Cole. a free negro from Chambersburg,
appeared at Kaufman's on November

formed with the object Of resisting
payment for domestic servants. That,
however. is chiefly a political move. so
that the only real opposition the gov
ernment has to face is that Of the doc
tors. The government has offered the
doctors four shillings and six pence
approximately S1.12) annually for
each person insured. but the doctors
demand eight shillings and six pence
approximately $2.12) each.
The only section OF the community
likely to suffer is that composed of
casual workers and old people, both
men and women, as some OF the big
employers have decided to do away
with this form Of labor.
Besides the casual laborers are not
likely to derive any benefit from the
measure. While they are working and
the employers are paying part OF the
premiums the casuals will NJ suffer
much. but they will be unable TO pay
their full dues the weeks when they
are out OF work and thus will lose
the benefits of previous payments.
As the first employer Of a casual
laborer will have to buy the necessary
stamp, there is a decided objection on
the part Of the employers to become

A report dealing with the coal re-
sources OF Canada has been issued By
the Dominion Department OF Mines.
The estimates given are only based on
what is known. In the western and
northern regions. which have been
little explored, there may be vast de-
posits OF which nothing whatever is
known at present The officials OF the
department estimate that Of btu
minous coal there is in Canada 1874

lion tons; sub-bltuminous and Ignite

OF coal now annually mined in Canade

course the coal demands OF Canada
will keep on increasing. but It will be
a good many years before the quantity
OF Canadian coal mined will equal
present output of the United States
mines. Their annual output is about
800, 1000, 900 tons. At that rate It
would take only l45 years to exhaust
the estimated Canadian supply OF

being an estimate Of the immigration
from the United States for 1912, the
consumption Of coal will naturally In
crease.
The agricultural districts Of Canada
have now become so we'll known
throughout the world, and the vacant
area OF splendid land is~still so great
that it may be expected that the num-
bers mentioned will increase from
year to year, and it will not be many
years before the immigration figures
will reach the million mark
1t may be asked what Is there to
warrant this large immigration? With
millions Of acres OF land, capable Of
producing twenty-five TO forty bushels
Of wheat TO the acre; or, il in oats,
from forty to ninety. and even as high
as a hundred bushels per acre, or the
same splendid yields Of fax or bar
ley, there IS ample inducement TO at
tract these hundreds Of thousands who
are filing the present agricultural set
Elements and pushing forward into the
newer settlements year by year, and
leave room still for the hundreds Of
thousands who will follow. There re
mains not only the agricultural wealth
OF the country, but there are also the
social advantages, the hOme-making
privileges, apart altogether from the
financial opportunities, there is the life
and the energy born from the knowl-
edge that the settler is more than a
unit in the upbuilding, in the making
Of a country that will soon rank
amongst the first in the nations Of
the world. There is no desire on the
part OF the writer TO dwell upon the
success that has followed the Ameri-
can settler in the Provinces Of Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta and
the coast Province Of British Colum-
bia, or to speak of the thousands Of in
dividuals whose hundreds of dollars
have made them thousands. but atten-
ton must be paid to the fact that these
people have done well. They are fol-

men-GeOrge Kramer used 70 creep
down from his retreat and take walks
through the back streets-alone- All
others, he reasoned were in bed and
safe from the peril that was always
with him. So George Kramer used
to walk at night, with the white death
ever at his elbow.
The years went By, and then Mrs
Caroline Walsh moved into the FuTman
street house. Mrs. Walsh is a mother;
she has a great mother love, which
means love for all. She got to know
the coughing man" by conversations
through the panels Of his door. She
saw his face rarely. But she hearten-

Mrs. Walsh used to step % the
door almost every morning and ask II
there was anything she or her children
could do for Kramer-any little err
rands. Usually they would go to the
grocery store for him and leave the
food outside the closed door, because
Kramer insisted that they should not
come near him
A few days ago Mrs. Walsh and the
children went out Of town When
they returned, and before she opened
her own door Mrs. Walsh knocked at
the door Of the coughing man" No
answer. More knocks, and still no an

locked door.

thousands OF box cars. The govern

quickly harvested, business men are
laying in larger stocks than usual. real
estate men are active, preparing for
the rush OF business that is sure TO
follow, and everywhere there is the
note Of optimism, which seems TO be
perfectly justifable.
There is, as has been said, vast
area OF the country still open for set
tlement and homesteading lying in the
center north. Speaking Of this part
a writer, who made the trip when the
crop was In its green stage. said:
"Just now, the whole country is q
beautiful sight, as It presents itself In
full dress Of living green. varied in
shade. many places elegantly fringed
and interspersed with pleatings of
shrubbery and patches Of sweet scent
ed flowers in rose, yellow, white, pink,
scarlet, cardinal and purple. In trav-
cling over the virgin soil, have seen
some Of the most charming rolling
prairies, sIoping hills, deep ravines,
mirrored lakes, artistic flower fields,
and natural parks that one could wish
to behold, and all placed there without
the aid Of man. The land In general
is heavily matted with grass. mixed
with Vetches and pea vines, nearly up
to the knee, and many millions Of
acres Of which are going to waste
while beef, pork and mutton are soar
ing at prices heretofore unknown. The
comparatively small acreage under cul-
tivation reminds one Of few small
garden patches.
when we consider the estimated
crop of S0O,0O0,0OO bushels Of wheat
for 1912, to be produced on these west
ern prairies from these garden patches,
some faint idea can be formed by an
imaginative mind as to the immense
possibilities and rich heritage Of a glO-
rious western Canada"
The estimate Of the wheat crop. as
made by the writer quoted, Is exces-
sive, but with even ESQ million bushels.
there viii be a great deal Of satisfae.
