COAL FIRE UNDERMINES VAST
AREA


Probably the greatest fire in the
world is burning in southeastern Ohio,
says H. A. Mount in the July Popular
Mechanics Magazine. 1t has been
burning for more than 80 years and
has been fed by more than 10000 900
tons of the finest coal in the United
States. The fire has spread over
about Is square miles of territory,
and has actually consumed about
1900 of a coal vein that in places is Is
feet in thickness, averaging 9h feet.
So far the fire has defied every effort
to extinguish it and promises to be
still burning hundred years hence.
The coal vein that is burning is said
by mining experts to be the finest vein
in the Hooking Valley district, and
perhaps the finest soft-coal vein in the
United States. 1t has been found i'm
possible to smother the fire, either
by inclosing it or by using chemi-
Gals. In one of the early attempts to
extinguish the fire, water was pumped
on it continuously for three years
without visible effect. The fire was
started simultaneously in seven big
mines in the vein during the strike
disturbances which occurred in 1884
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1918-06-14

Tuesday was sort Of a red letter
day for the high school. The Seniors,
Juniors and Sophomores have filled
their quota on the high school Liber-
ty bond and it is believed that the
Freshmen will also be over the TOP.
Mr.. Sanford gave short talk after
which he presented O's to the follow
ing football men: Marvin, Brittson,
Harryman, Melchers, Barnard, Den
yes, L. Ross, G. Robbins, Martin and
Getman. Schmidt, who moved away
after the football season, received his
20" few days ago, while he was
here. The football team loses five
men this year leaving six veterans
for next fall. Mr.. Linton gave a
short talk, after which he presented
O's to the following baseball men:
Harryman, Marvin, Robbins, j.
Connolly, L. Ross, Reckling, Rigley,
Welch and Gardham. The baseball
team will only lose two men this year.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1918-06-14

Taking an aoverage of the first nine
months Of this fiscal year and for
the months of April, May and June
this year, which would complete the
fiscal year, the average rate is 6.06
per cent under the Underwood Tariff
law, which would yield for the twelve
months $168,000, 100000 on import
values of $4,000, 900, 900. That is, with
an increase of a billion in imports,
$165, 100000 less will be collected this
year than was realized under the
Payne law. The time has come to
raise more revenue by the Tariff to
carry on this war.
Here, manifestly, exists an appor-
tunity to secure direly needed addi-
tional revenue by taxing our foreign
rivals. From $100,000,000 to $780,
100000 additional revenue can proba-
bly, be secured by recourse to increased
Tariff duties. Shall we impose taxes
to the uttermost upo nour own citizens
and refuse further to tax our foreign
rivals? Why is the foreigner, espe-
cially when sending his products to
our markets to compete with the pro-
ducts of American workingmen, to be
immune from further duties? What
answer can the Administration make :?
Can it make an answer that Ameri-
cans, carrying the burden of the great
est amount of taxes ever imposed in
one year, will be satisfied with? The
fetish reverence for Free-Trade, the
tender consideration for our foreign
rivals, the utter disregard of our own
people, are not likely to be relished
especially by voters in a position to
remedy matters to their own advant-
age. Read over what Mr.. Fordney
says, and then say why we should not
increase our revenue through skill
fully laid higher duties on imports.
