merchants OF the city 10 such a de-
gree Of Indignation that they have de-
cided To again take the matter up with
he postal authorities at Washington
unless some steps are taken immedi-
ately to remedy the matter.
only about four weeks ago four
pouches. thrown from a speeding
train. were drawn back among the
wheels Of the coaches and ground TO

Postmaster HerZog. who walked the
railway tracks TO South Bend picking

pressed his Indignation over the oc-
currence in no uncertain sound, while
the business men were more than
chagrined that such carelessness

enlightened century.
Protests have already been sent to
Washington and 10 the railway COM

PRODUCED A HALF MIL
LION TONS OF COAn

According to data compiled
by State Engineer Bliss from the
reports OF coal mines of the
state, $4,000 tons of coal was
mined during the calendar year
of 1914. Most OF the reports are
in the hands of the state engl-
neer and the rest of the coal
mining during the year has been
estimated. The reports show
that the larger mines are making
a steady increose in production,
but the smaller ones are keeping
up to about the same output,
serving only their immediate
communities. The production Of
Ignite has shown a substantial
increase, according to ihfcrna-
tion gathered by the state en-
gineer since the Legislative act
Of 1907, which made the state
engineer ex-offisio state coal
mine inspector.
