knows that one oftheanost disastrous
explosions in the country occurred in
the Mariana mine Of the Pittsburg-
Buffalo Company, at Mariana, Pa,
in which 1853 were killed. The expio-
sion occurred on November %, 1908,
at 1920 o'clock. The report OF the
coroner's inquest shows that the mine
was inspected on that morning by
Henry Louitits, who had been an In
spector for twenty-four years. He
made the inspection which was
thorough as could be-" There was
not working place which he did not
visit" He had many personal
{, friends In the mine and It blew up
within twenty minutes after he had
completed the inspection. and this
was considered the. best equipped
mine in Pennsylvania.
Pay Of Inspectors.
It may be as you say. and we are
glad to know the views held by the
great corporation you speak for
that the salaries are adequate for
the service given" nevertheless, the
following Inspectors have resigned
fro mthc force to accept more lucra-
tive positions with coal companies,
namely: liz
Mr.. Arthur Mitchell.
Mr.. Edward Flanagan.
Mr.. James Martin.
Mrs. L. e. Lambert. fl
Mr.. P. Z. Kerr. a'rpfrT3
Mr.. II. z. Muir.
Mr. Isaac Murray. H
Mr.. c. n. Orr.
1t Is interesting and instructive not
only to the department Of mines, but
undoubtedly, to the people Of the
state, to know that the Times holds
the opinion that Governor Hatfield
broke faith with the operators be-
cause he insisted that the department
of mines should make an effort to cut
non-fatal accidents in the mines and
that he gave his approval to the de-
partment in the drafting Of law,
which would broaden the powers OF
the department, giving 1t greater eff
ftclency and enabling it to enforce
the law equally upon the miner ana
operator alike when either refused to
regard life and property. This has
been the governors attitude from
the first without fear or favor; with
malice toward none but charity for
all.
With this feeling he calls for all re-
ports made by the inspectors upon
mines that are rated as hazardous.
Doubtless you would hold this to
be executive interference and a
dangerous usurpation of executive
power"
II the governor is to be condemned
for this by a species of vultures who
live softly off of funds furnished by
the coal operators and who are the
real insidlous foe sof the industry,
because opposing all rational prog
ress, the establishment Of commu-
nifty Of interests between operator and
miner and between the department
Of mines, the operator, the miner and
the governor, they place themselves
in antagonism to the interests which
they serve.
II this is the situation, we will SUI
fer with him sustained by the belief
that we jointly labor for the justice
and right of the state which Is the
good of the people.
Yours very truly,
EARL A. HENRY,
Chief of Department Of Mines.

a view of locating another water

Patterson creek, East Salem, on Mrs.

that when the station is completed
the shortage of water in the city

ment of our citizens seem to be
turning to sanitary improvements in
the city by better water system and
extension Of the sewer system since

the responsibility for the consequences that may
