MT STEETER RAILROAD
PROGRESSING ONCE MORE

Meeting of the stockholders of the Az
ial Hnsin Development Company and
the Mt Streeter railroad Company
met this week at the coal town and
very favorable meetings were had by
both. All the big stockholders from
the east were there and seemed even
more enthusiastic over their property
than ever before.
The ont come of the meeting was TO
the effect that development of he mine
bc dropped for the present and all at
tcntion put to the railroad 1t was the
unanimous opinion of all that they
were ut IL stand still until trnnsporta-
ton for the coal can he afforded.
Several contacts for work have been
made with Mr. Strykcr who is actually
at work on the grading. At present
about two hundred men are at work all
the time and more will be put on very
soon. At present they have seven frcs-
nos doing the dirt work md more will!
be added us needed. At present ,hr
crew are finishing up the grading from
the old AxinI store down to the pro
sent sight of Mt Strccter which is about
two miles. When completed there will
he. seven miles of grading ready for
laying track which will take ii up to
the place where the auto road crosses
Milk creek.
The engineers for the Strcet"r rail
road are also lookiu. into the tiui!,'r
question and have made II Wis; TO tn"
Mornms Mill to see if they can supply
,.ur bridge timber.
1t looks very favorable Mt present
that the Strcctcr people mean business
ms Contractor Stryker has brought con-
siderable of his equipment from Den
YER Mt no little expense. He has also
bought up most Of the hay and grain
in the Axinl Basin.
At the late meeting. all the directors
chosen were men of considerable
means. Myers who is now President OF
the \ Il d Company is also President
of the KnmsMs City Terminal Railway
Company. Mr. Butler of Indiana. n his,
tinnncirr is now n member OF the
Board Of Directors.
We certainly hope the present stnrf
amounts tn something and feel sure
It will. At least II will leave money
in this section and give sant OF our
dry farmers and others II chance for
employment when : they have spare
time.

For The Benefit OF The Farmer

The emergency tnriir on wheat which

When the grcnt slump came in wheat
last year. thousands of farmers dccid-

price. ON January l wheat was S1.D II

on April 1. Sl:'3 and on May I S11O
Around May I the farmer found it
absolutely necessary to get rid of his
wheat stocks in order to prepare for
the bumper crop forrastctl for this
year and in order to clear his bins. Mil
thnt time at around S1.1O. The bottom
price.
When this had happened In the
fourth week of May. the tariff. for
the benefit of the farmer was passed.
that il. after most of the wheat had
gone to market.
Then what happened. my brother?
Why. towards the end of May the
price Of wheat scared to S1G5 and the
~ cents per bushcl difference went
mostly into the hands of the grain
Spectators. A very handsome profit
indeed. accounting for more stone man

BEFORE ELECTION AND AFTER

Another campaign bubble has burst

one of the first things the republican

big bonus for the cX-scrvicc men. No
such action has been taken and now
the secretary of the treasury in the
Harding cabinet asks the senate to re
fuse to pass the bonus bill and warns
the leaders that the cash bonus would
almost bankrupt the country.
That Secretary Mellon is right we
firmly believe hut he and his party
knew last October that such cash
bonus would he dangerous to the wei
fare of the country. He kept silent then
Just as did the candidate for President
and the other leaders. They We're look

Fulton Lodge No. 90 A. F. and A. NJ.
will have. its new and splendid temple
dedicated with appropriate ceremonies
and festivities, Saturday, Oct. IS.
Last Sunday the non-masonic public

large number of people availed them
selves of the opportunity of visiting and
admiring the new local home of the
Order. Saturday will be the Orders
own day and devoted to exercises in
which only members of the society will
participate.
The building is on West Fulton street,
on the site Of the old Royal hall. It's
imposing front, simple in architec-
tural design, yet most pleasing in line
and adornment, attracts the attention
by the massive pillars carrying the en-
tablature and opening into the hall
where large doors swing into an ante
room. On the east side is the ladies
waiting and cloakroom, and on the west
similar room for the men, both at
tractive1y furnished Entering from
the hallway the magnificent banquet

ton of the building. This hall may

has at the north end spacious stage
with dressing rooms. In the north
west corner on the same floor is kitch-
en-, equipped to delight the most ex-
acting chef.
A wide stairway from the front hall
leads to the upper floor. A reception
and lounging hall is at the head Of the
stairs. Off from this in the southwest
corner is a beautiful club room for the
men with chairs and couches, tables,
and glowing upon it large fire place.
A billiard room the length of the east
side with 1avatories in the north end.
The lodge room is So by 65 feet. Its
ritual equipment is new, of massive
construction and beautiful material and
design. The lighting is effected through
a series of windows running the full
length of the room near the ceiling,
making the light diffuse through the
hall in a quiet manner without any
glare in any part of the room. Off the
lodge room to the south is posting
and rega1ia room, and lantern stage
for film entertainments.
The electric lighting and the fixtures
for it has been arranged with fine Judg-
ment.
