Duo to the generally superior
quality OF West Virginia Goals,
railroad freight rates are, at pres.
emit, sharply to the disadvantage Of
the states greatest money pro-
duct. This, in part, is because
some OF the other states which
contain many and large industrial
plants and dense populations,
also produce coal; and, therefore,
the coal consumers in those states
sometimes combine forces with the
coal operators there, to insist upon
coal freight rates which favor
other than the West Virginia pro.
duct, even though for steam and
other purposes they prefer and
often must have the better coal {.
Nevertheless, coal from West
virginia is bought and sold and
used in thousands Of cities, towns

From 100 to 1875 cars of coal a

THE Canadian Pacific railroad Is
said to be buying coal in that sec
ton. A goodly per centage OF the
coal is being sold by brokers for

cement mills are getting quite a

region. There is also some lump

domestic consumption.
Want Leaders To Go Slow
Commenting on condito1s IN the
Pittsburgh section of the central
competitive fields the Coal Trade
Journal prints the following:
THE coal miners themselves are
getting tired of the long, weary
waiting and are doing within their
own organization what the opera
tors could not hope to do. They
are steadily forcing their leaders
to pull in their horns and get down
to action that will give the minerf
work. This is the probable result
Of letting the matters seemingly
drift as they have for some time.
Miners have been besieging oper,
ators for work and have been sent
to their own leaders for relief
and they have been going there.
In some recent cases, the min.
erB have been defiant and have
asked to be put to work by op'
orators on a revised scale OF their
own and are working full time in
the center Of one Of the hottest
union fields of the country on a
new wage agreement This has al.
so occurred in other sections Of
the interstate field and is having
telling effect on the orgsniza'
ton.
In the meantime the operators
have been consistently observing
their wage agreement and are
leaving no avenue Of reproach
open to the mine workers or poll
ticians by attempting evasion OF
any agreement with the wage
Garner.
Against Increase
John Bropny, president Of Dis
trict No. 2 U, NJ. W.. announced
that the district will hold its fan
convention at Du Bots on October
rs. Demands will be formulated
and a scale committee appointed
to meet the operators with view
of reaching an agreement as to
wages and working conditions for
the two years following March 81
"It is understood that the moder.
ates do not favor the extreme de-
mands OF 20 per cent increase
in wages five days week and
six hours day." says the Coal
Trade Journal.

Henry ]. Hovey of Gouldsboro,
foreman of the grand jury and first
selectman of his town, dropped
dead on the sidewalk near the court
house in Ellsworth late yesterday
afternoon.
The grand jury had been dis
charged, and Mr.. Hovey had been
down town. He complained then of
his heart, and stopped in a lunch
room to get hot drink, which he
said had always acted as sufficient
stimulant He was returning up the
State street hill alone when, just in
front of the Jail house he fell. his
head going down over the steep bank
outside the walk. No one saw him
fall, and Sheriff Wescott, coming
from his house probably but a few
moments later, found him there.
Sheriff Wescott thinks there were
faint signs of life when he reached
him Death was due to heart fail
ure.
Mr.. Hovey was about seventy years
of age. He was a native of Goulds-
boro, but lived for many years in the
West A valuable invention in a
railroad signaling system brought
him a competence, and a few years
ago he retired and returned to his

He leaves a daughter. Mrs Charles

Friday, May 6, will be Ford day
in Ellsworth, when Morang's
garage will entertain Ford owners
from all over Hancock county 1t
is conservatively estimated that
there are over 1000 Ford owners
in Hancock county, and from the
way replies are coming in from the
letters of invitation sent out only
few days ago, it is estimated that,
with good weather, there will be
between 800 and 500 Ford cars in
Ellsworth Friday of next week
The invitation is general to all
Ford owners in the county and
their families, whether they receive
letter of invitation or not. for the
list of owners obtained by the
garage is probably incomplete.
Three hundred to 500 cars would
bring somewhere around 1000
people, so that it will surely be
some "set-together" day for Ford
owners. And there will be some
thing of interest for them here.

1.-The Misleading Lady"

"The Misleading Lady" the feat
ure attraction at the Dirigo tonight,
is screen version of the notable
play by Charles Goddard and Paul
Dickey, which enjoyed such a
triumphant success on the New York
stage.
Bert Lytell has the dashing role
of Jack Craigen, the confirmed
woman-hater, whose first appearance
in effete New York after a stay in
South Africa brings with it his COM
plete surrender to beautiful Helen
Steele. Only after he has made his
avowal does Craigen learn that she
has made him propose to prove her
fitness for leading part at million
aires little theatre Infuriated
by such treatment, Craigen abducts
her to his hunting lodge and pro-
ceeds to brusque wooing, which be-
gins with the lady chained, and ends
in a breathless episode in which he
wins against the claims of Helens
f1ance.-Advt.

"POLLYANNA."
Mary PickfOrd at the DirigO
Theatre Friday Night.

Theatre Friday Night.
Critics everywhere assert that
"Pollyanna" is one of the greatest
picture-plays ever filmed. The
reason for this is that the philoso-
ply upon which the story is based
constituted a theme which at the
present time has an unusually wide
appeal. This production will be
the feature at the Dirigo theatre
Friday evening.
There is a great craving at the
present time on the part of the pub
lie, according to best informed
showmen, for something more than
mere entertainment.
OF course diversion is always the
paramount thing whenever amuse-
ment is considered, but at the same
time people want something big and
compelling that will
drive home few truths without
preaching sermon or spelling the
flavor of a show which is meant to
entertain.
Such story is "Pollyanna," with
it's cheerful philosophy of gladness.
1t is believed that this production,
coming at time when the country
is upset by period or readjust-
ment, will have an unprecedented
reception from the picture patrons.
