Hyndman, Pa, June 5.-This section

of giant frog who has his abode near

Ohio railroad because of his ability
to initiate the deep-toned whistles on
the freight engines.
According to the trainmen, the fros
gets up on the rock and sends his
deep-throated bass sounding down the
valley exactly as the big mogul en-
gines sound their whistles when they
call in the fiagman. Several fiagmen
thinking they had been given the sig
nal to return to their train, left Their

SECURE A CONTRACT
j. l.. Carlson, Well-Known Moscow
Plumber, Will Sink Shaft on
Coal Mine.

Announcement was made today 5j
j. L. Carlson, the well-known plum
ber, that his firm had been awarded
the contract for sinking the shaft on
the coal mine property about 20 miles
north of Moscow.
Recent Investigations of those who
have secured lease on an extensive
piece of property bearing indications
of fine blanket of Ignite coal has
led the owners of the lease TO make
further investment in the sinking of a
shaft to tap the vein which is said to
be six feet two inches in thickness.
1t is believed that coal will be dis
covered in paying quantities in which
event it would prove of great benefit
to the Inland Empire.
The company has recently purchased
some new coal drills for carrying on
the work and has imported an expert
from Colorado to prosecute the further
development. The awarding of the
contract to Mr. Carlson is a recogni-
ton of his splendid ability to handle
a job of this magnitude. He will start
work on the contract at once.

stock represented articles that are in
every respect new.
