Vulnerable manufacturers in this and

Coal is Sucked From the River
Imagine yourself, for purposes OF
elucidation. in the position of a Wis.,
itor on one of these riverboats, bent
on filing fiat or two with coal from
the river depths. You will have been
preceded by a pathfinder" with a
long pole, who poles around the sec
tions which time and experience have
proven to be the most likely places
where the beds will lodge. He can
tell by the feel of the pole when he
and then the steam dredge brings its
load to the scene of action. A spe-
cial make of boiler connects with a
centrifugal pump worked by two
wheels and attached to q suction
dredge that extends over the side of
the fiat. The coal from the bed is
sucked up and through a closed tun-
a screen which separates the very
fine dust and water and drops it
through into the river again. On the
adjoining fiat stands a man with q
rake, which he uses to rake the coal
into huge heaps on the fiat. And
that is all there is to it.
Wide Consumption of River Coal in
Harrisburg
Broad street and the landing at the
upper end of the city are the only
two places now where the fleets can
land on this side of the river. It Is
claimed that the closing of Market
street with concrete steps nearly put
them out of business, because of the
increase in the cost of transportation
to the manufacturers that use the
coal. Several thousand tons of sand
are now taken out annually from the
river; good building sand at that, be-
ing the source of practically all the
sand used in the city. In the old days
the fleets used to have as many as so
or GO flats and or 9 steam dredges,
but they are no longer that large.
Although there is not much body
to the coal, it may be used for con-
sumption with blowers, and is en-
ployed by many concerns exclusively,
including the Harrisburg Light and
Power Company, in their plant in
Ninth street, where it's energy is con-
verted into making steam and electric
current (and, by the way, it is said
that the cost of steam and current in
this city is as low if not lower than
any other steam heat in the country,
due largely to the cheapness of fuel
obtained from the river); the United
Electric Light Company of Lemoyne /;
the Pennsylvania Steel Company, the
Railways, and the City Pumping sta
ton, located at Front and North
streets are but few of the places
where this most indispensable article
finds a ready consumption.

Careful housewife that you are.
does it not stir YOU ofttimes to ex-
ceeding great wrath TO have your
carefully cleaned window sills and
painstakingly busted porch chairs
constantly coated with an almost inn
perceptible layer of black dust? OF
course it does yet. this very same coal
dust, in larger form, is not exempt
from the statement that everything
in this world is of some use, whether
our finite minds be aware of that use
fulness or not. Otherwise the ap-
parently useless things would have
been relegated by evolution or GUS
tom to the realm of 'innocuous desue-
tude."
II is the purpose of this article to
delve into the history of one of the
most unique industries eXtant, an in
dustry that is peculiar to Central
Pennsylvania territory and which, so
far rs is known in this section, is not
duplicated elsewhere in the United
States.
Gradual Unfolding of the Flower of
Unique Industry
The dredging of coal from the bot
tom of the SuSquehanna river, which
was first begun about fifteen or twen-
ty years ago by pioneers still living in
this city and still plying their old
trade, has developed far beyond the
dreams of those who first took ad-
vantage of the thousands of dollars
worth of coal that was gliding silently
ard undiscovered past this city and on
and on until it reached the bay and
then the ocean. The fact that there
are no hard coal mines located on
any other river in the country except
the Susquehanna is authority for the
statement made by an expert in this
ci.y that the reclaiming of coal and
sand from the bottom of the river is
almost exclusively done in the river
which washes the Front Steps of
Harrisburg" Little did the origlna-
lors of the industry realize the vast
economic value and the enormous
possibilities for profit that were wrap
led up in the simple task of taking

Football Championship.

The football championship of Ver-
mont goes this year to Middlebury.
Saturdays defeat of Vermont at the
hands of the snappy Middlebury
team gives the latter the undisputed
title. The scores of the teams which
played in the State were Middlebury
20 Norwich, 7, Norwich 7 Vermont
6, Middlebury 6 Vermont 2.
The game Saturday closed the
most successful season inMiddlebury
College football history. The team
was the best that the college ever
put out. Five games were won from
Union, Stevens, R. P. l., Norwich
and Vermont. The New Hampshire
contest resulted in a tie. Bowdoin
and Springfield defeated Middlebury.
Seventy-six points we're scored dur
ing the season as against 55 by her
opponents, 80 of the 55 being scored
by the strong Springfield team.
