THE KATAHDIN IRON WORKS R. R

The Public Utilities commission recent
ly received copy of the papers filed
with the interstate Commerce Commits
sion at Washington by the Bangor &
Aroostook Railroad Co., asking for per-
mission to abandon a portion of its line
in PiscataGuis county, that portion from
Brownville Jet. to Katahdin Iron Works,
distance of "a miles.
The reasons why the aba of
this line O. road should be authorized
given by the railroad company in it's Pc
tition are that the business does not war
rant the further operation thereof.
The Katahdin Iron Works line was
opened for business in June, 1882, at which
time the village was hive of industry
because of the iron ore industry in pro-
cess of development there. The road
was originally built from Derby. then
Milo Jet, as the Bangor and Katahdin
Iron Works railroad. In 1892 it was
leased to the Bangor & Piscataquis rail-
road and in 1901 it was taken over by
the Bangor & Aroostook. What waa
once lively settlement of industry and
sporting life, is now but the residence Of
few families, the principal activity be.

men and summer visitors who stop at thu

making coke in the ground" in Fay
cite County, Pennsylvania
That was the crude beginning OF one
of Americas key industries, for from
these bee hive ovens, wasteful as they
were, grew the great modern plants
that as:onished the world during the
war by their production of poison
gases, high explosives, fertilizers and
other vital necessities. In times of
peace these plants produce dyes and
great quantities of Intermediates for
the manufacture of other commodities.
In times of war they are easily con-
verified into stronghoids of defense.
You will remember that it was an
English boy who discovered the posi-
bility of manufacturing dyes from coal
tar but England let the great chance
slip through her fingers and as result
she found herself in bad way when
war broke out in 1914. 1t was humili-
ating for the United States to be
caught mapping and to be compelled to
beg Germany to sell us dyes to color
our stamps and currency but England
found herself in far more serious
situation. She had no dyes for her
uniforms or flags, and no drugs for
her wounded She could not sell to
the former German markets because
she could not color her textiles. She
could not send sufficient high explo-
sives or gases to the front because
she lacked the essential coal tar crude.
But England will not be caught
asleep again. She has placed an en-
barge on foreign dyes and is working
with all her strength to develop her
own chemical industry.

Goethe, the Great German Poet Visits Saarbrucken
Forest and Discovers the
Philosopher of Coal
THE PHILOSOPHER OF COAL
(Told In Eight Sketches)
BY JOHN RAYMOND
No. Ill

In 1771, there lived in the forest near
Saarbrucken, in Germany, chemist
named Stauf. He was all eccentric old
man who had an idea, far ahead of his
times, that many things beside coke
could be obtained in the combustion of
bituminous coal.
otauf had constructed number Of
ovens over a burning mine and treated
coal so that he obtained oil, pitch, coke
and SCOT. That was quite a forward
step and although he lived in the
depths of forest the great minds of
Europe heard of his work. In fact,
Goethe, himself made pilgrimage to
the ovens of the far-seeing chemist
and in his autobiography wrote strik-
ing comment on his visit to the Saar-
brucken forest:
Ready and glad to pour his COM
plants into a human ear, the lean
decrepit, little man, with a shoe on
one foot and slipper on the other,
and with stockings hanging down and
repeatedly pulled up in vain, dragged
himself up the mountain to where
the pitch house stood which he had
built himself and saw with grief now
connected row of ovens in which coal
was to be freed from sulphur and
made fit for use in the iron works !;
but at the same time they wished also
to recover the oil and pitch, and in
deed, did not want to lose the lamp
black, so that all failed together on
account of the many ends in view"
Goethe. who dubbed the chemist of
Saarbrucken "Kohenphilosoph or the
Philosopher of Coal, wrote his COM
mentary less than a century and half
ago. What would be his comment to-
day could he enter one OF the great

SCOUT EXPEDITION
MAY BE CANCELLED
Weather Indications Indicate
Abandonment of Trip to
Camp Rotary.

Owing to indications of unfavorable
weather, it seems practically certain
that the winter camp planned for Boy
Scouts at Camp Rotary. in the Little
Belt mountains, will have to be can
celled, according to Executive s. l..
Graybull. The buildings at the camps
do not have lined walls nor floors, and
there are no facilities for heating any
of the small cabins.
However, the trip has not been def
initely called off and final notice Will
be published Monday. The start, II
made at all, will be on Wednesday
morning, Dec. %. A large number OF
scouts who consider themselves hardy
have inquired at scout headquarters
about the trip, and considerable inter
est has been aroused, especially among
the older scouts.
If it is impossible to make this trip,
an effort will be made to make four
day trip of some sort during the spring
vacation. Outdoor life, camping, and
hiking furnish much Of the interesting
material in scouting. An effort is
constantly being made by scout head
quarters to promote the outdoor Tea
lures Of the scouting program.
IF the trip to Camp Rotary finally
falls through an all day hike will be
taken on Thursday, Dec. 20, particu-
larly for the purpose of taking outdoor
tests, but for the practice of winter
scouting outdoors. This trip will be
lead BY the scout executive and all
scouts will be welcome to go along.

1.62 GOLF BALL
NOT SATISFACTORY
To CAME DEV0TEES
Anthony Spalding, Expert,
Voices Hope That Changes
Made Will Be Permanent.

London, Dec. 23-Antnony Spald-
ing, golf expert, says that with the
signal failure of the standard or 1.G2
golf ball to restore the balance be-
tween the course and the power of the
balk one hopes that if the question Of
standard ball is again to be raised
officially-the signs Of the times sug-
gest it may bet will be settled once
and for ALL The floating ball is i'm
| possible because the golfing commun-
| ity would not accept it, and only a
small section of the golf rules commit
tee wish it.
At Sunningdale last spring, with a
Brown Dot Silver King, weighing "a
dwts., Mr.. De Montmorency estab-
lished new record for the course.
There was no appreciable difference
to the eye in the lengths of his and
! other players drives as compared with
the small heavy ball. Of all opinions,
! the floater, the most valuable is that
of Mr. De Montmorency, who said he
would never play again with a floater
except under compulsion. His judg-
ment reflects his absolute impartiaity.
He said he did not think a floating
| ball would add either to the pleasure
or skill of playing the game. The OPP
inion of the general body of golfers is
Enthusiastically reflected by the demand
which manufacturers tell me is as two
to one in favor of the heavy ball.
Up to the present the resources of
! the ball makers seem able to defeat
whatever restrictions are imposed The
new ball flies further than ever, though
it does mot run quite as far as the
old 81 ball, but many professionals and
leading amateurs do not like the new
| conner on the putting green. Expert
and inexpert players love golf. chiefly
for its opportunities of primitive en-
| joyment and the flying ball is witness
of their power-hence the demand for

TWO OREC0N|ANS
RUNNING SEATTLE
CLUB THIS YEAR
Walter McCredie to Be Man
ager and James ]. Richard
son Business Manager.

Seattle, Dec. 23.-Two Oregonians,
Walter McCredie and James ]. Rich
ardson, will have a great deal to say
about the handling of the Seattle club
of the Pacific Coast Baseball league
next season, McCredie having been
named manager and Richardson busi-
ness manager.
Both men formerly were with the
Portland club and made records for
discovering and developing new play
ers. McCredie being particularly not
ed for the shortstops he sent up to the
big legaues.
Among players sent to the major
leagues from McCredie's team were
Ivan Olson, Roger Peckingpaugh, Dave
Bancroft, Charley Hollocher. Mike
Mitchell, Jack Graney, Larry Mclean,
Stanley Coveleskie, Vean Gregg. and
others. This season Herman Pillette
and Sylvester Johnson, both developed
by McCredie, went up for $4,000 and
players.
Richardson, it is said, found Harry
Heilman playing on the sand lots of
San Francisco, saw his possibilities and
signed him for Portland. Now He'll
man is the leading hitter Of the Amer
ican league. Carl Mays, the Bigbee
brothers, Al Walters and others were
signed by Richardson.
While handling Portland McCredie
won five league championships, his
team Of 1905 being considered one
of the greatest minor league clubs ever
assembled. McCrede has been in base
ball 26 years and for few years play
ed for the Brooklyn Nationals.
For two years Richardson has been
manager Of student athletics at the
Oregon Agricultural college at Corval-
lis, Ore, and his departure was the
cause of sorrow on the campus, for
Jimmie" as he is known throughout
the Pacific northwest, did much toward
putting Q. A. c. on the athletic map
besides clearing up big debt which
was hanging over the athletic depart
ment.
When Richardson left O. A. G. to
join Seattle the students presented him
with a life pass to all athletic contests
held on the campus. 1t was said that
Richardson's pass is the only one
ever given by the Aggies to any per-
son not an ex-college athletic star.
