.Kittaning, Pa, Oct. 9.-Four pigs
attached together as were the Siam
csc twins were brought here by VIII
liam Silves of Manor township. The
freaks were born a few days ago and;
are in perfect health. Each pig has
four legs, "a tail and nose, but,
strangely enough, possesses only one
eye. and that is set in the middle of
the forehead. - 49,.
Silves was endeavoring to ascer-
tain if there was not some way OF
preserving the lives of the pigs. The
ligament which joins the animals to-
gether appears to be attached to the
vital organs, and, according to a vet
Urinary surgeon, it would be danger
GUS to attempt to sever the cord.

here by steamer from Seattle!
Cordova, the other possible coaling
center in Alaska, has both harbor
and railroad that leads somewhere.
But still Katalla's harbor would be
as good if dredged and breakwater'
built. Cordova's .harbor, too, needs
dredging.
Should Uncle Sam decide to open
the Boring coal fields and build road
to tideWater, Cordoya expects to be
chosen as the center for the opera
TONS The 40 miles of railroad ne
cessary to do this are estimated by
Cordova people as cheaper invest
ment than the maintenance of har-
Dor which would have to be constant

The Bering River country east OF
KataIIa is one of natures most re-
markabIe fuel factories. There you
can find coal IN EVERY STAGE OF
the making from decayed' vegetation
and peat through all grades OF Ignite
and soft coal to very ancient and
igranite-Iike anthracite.
In the days when they were going
to build a railroad from Katalla to
the coal fields, every other man in
town had coal claim. When actual
construction work was commenced,
the railroad builders began to fight,
officials of the government fell out
over the granting of coal claim
patents and things reached such a
stage that President Roosevelt with
drew all the coal land from entry. .
Katalla is almost deserted now.
The only industry is in ola few
patents to oil lands having been
granted.

pages of index and as soon as this is
completed they will be ready for dis
tribution.

would be ready by this time. This
work, which is done exclusively by

large undertaking and data which
takes considerable time to collect is
necessary before the book can be is

10 CONTEST LAW
The Ann AfbOr X. R. To Contest Two
Cent Fare
BASED ON RECENT DECISION
Claim Rate Does Not Provide Expenses And
Reasonable Return On Investment

A dispatch last Friday night said
General Manager Towley, General
Attorney Smith and General Passen-
ger Agent Kirby, of the Ann Arbor
railroad which owns and operates
about 300 miles Of trackage in Mich
igan, were here Thursday afternoon
from their general Offices at Toledo
and gave the state railroad commits
sion informal notice that the COM
pany is going to contest in the courts
the two-cent fare law
The officials intimated that they
will base their contest on the decision
OF the United States supreme court
in the Minnesota rate case, handed
down few weeks ago, which, in sub
stance, is that while state legisla-
ture has a constitutional right to fix
passenger rates, these ratSs will not
necessarily be binding on any COM
pany which can prove that such rates
cannot earn enough to pay running
expenses and for maintenance and
to pay reasonable return on the in
vestment. The two-cent fare law was
enacted at the 1907 legislative ses-
sion. 1t was so framed that any road
whose earnings did not exceed ST 200
A mile could charge three cents. |
Only one road now shows earnings
of less than $1,000 a mile, and it is |
not the Ann 'Arbor. Under the 1907 |
lct, upper peninsula roads were per-
nitted to charge four cents, but the
.911 session made the two-cent rate
inform in the upper as we'll as the
over peninsula.
There is already pending one suit
n which the complainant railroad
company alleges that in Michigan
wo-cent fare law is conhscatory as
pplying to its lines. This is Duluth.
'outh Shore and Atlantic, which op-
rates about 400 miles in the upper
eninsula. When the 1911 act was
bout to go into force the South
hore secured temporary Injunction
the United States court at Grand
,apids against the enforcement of the
wv on its lines. The court appoint
master to take proofs bearing on
ne company's claim that at two cents I
cannot pay expenses and mainten-
nee and reasonable profit on the
lvestment. The taking of the proofs |
not yet finished. The master was t
Lansing only this week seeking t
lidence.

ITHACA LOST FAST ONE|
Merrill Benefits By Poor Head Work
And Errors Winning In Eighth

A costly error in the eighth and
Duncanson's poor judgment in pass
ing a man in the same frame lost
the game for Ithaca last Friday
against the fast Merrill Reds. The
hnal count was 3-2.
Duncanson occupied the mound the
entire game for the county seat ag-
gregation and pitched stellar ball un-
til along about the seventh when he
weakened. His support was perfect
with the exception of the aforesaid
mishap and without little hard luck
he would have won. "Sabby" struck
out II men, but even that didn't win.
The game should have stood 20
IN favor of Ithaca but there seemed
to be a jinx floating over the Ithaca
seat. In the eighth with the home
team having everything their own
way and with no hope for Merrill
even getting one, Duncanson walked
a man. The next flied out TO second
and the following man got on bv a
