FARsEE1NG POLICY.

Z VERY citizen of Fairmont ought to rejoice
L. over the purchase of the Stafford mine by the
Monongahca Valley Traction company for the
purpose of using the coal at some time in the future
as the basis Of producer gas. This forward looking
step on the part Of the Traction company means
that there will be no sudden change in industrial
conditions in this district when the natural supply
OF gas fails or becomes depleted that its use for
industrial purposes is out of the question.
Among the most melancholy things in the world
are the cities of this country that have been left
after gas, oil or timber has been exhausted. Some
of these towns, notably those in the Susquehanna
valley timber country of Pennsylvania and the old
oil country in Southwestern New York, have come
back but 1T required herculean efforts and in the
struggle many men went on the financial scrap
heap. Moreover it was necessary in each case to
make complete change in the industries of the
communities, and that involved the breaking up
of old families and the introduction of new people
into places of prominence and influence.
None of these things will happen to Fairmont
when the gas goes, for the simple reason that the
coal will last for generations, and the Traction
company through its farseeing management will
make the change from the natural to the manufac-
tured product without the least jar. Everything
else being equal, factories now here or that will
come here are assured of continuous prosperity.
