Not content with having doubt thrown

man lays violent hands on another of
our most cherished traditions, and AYERS
that the vow of "No more sacred con-
csrts In Carmel" did not originate with
Comlcal Brown, bat with Q well known
retired business man Of Bangor who
once appeared on the concert stage. For
tuuately this iconoclast is willing TO let
the scene of the incident remain In Car

town of the Immortality which 1t has
acquired.

After all the talk about the necessity
for reduction OF our burdensome federal
taxes, congress 10 hard put to IL to dis
cover additional sources of revenue
where tax can be laid to keep our in
come up to our expenditures. 1t is now
suggested that IL may be necessary to go
back to three-cent letter postage, in force
during the war as an emergency meas
ure, and repealed IS soon as possible af-
ter hostilitiss closed. All of which calls
attention anew to the fact, which large
majority Of the people have not yet
learned, that we have got to pay for the
wAr.
There 10 food for thought along more
than ono line In the announcement that
the Boston & Maine Railroad has de-
cIded to discontinue the operation of two
Of its branch lines in the White Noun
tains because they do not pay, the oper-
atlng expenses being largely In excess OF
the revenue. This 10 said to be due to
the fact that the automobile has taken

line propelled vehicle, travelling, not on

BY ARBITRATION, .

Arbitraors in the 5000, 900 dam
age slMt of the New River Collicrics
company against the Sugar Creek
Coal Company were hearing evil
dencc last week in the Faycttc Cir
cult Court. This suit was institute
ed several months ago and in the
meantime an agreement has been
reached TO settle This suit through
arbitration. The arbilralors are ::
". Fl. Cunningham Of Huntington.
and p. G.. Thomas, of Mount Hope.
The claim Of the plaintiff is that
lhc defendant mined the coal from
q I5-foot barrier separating Inc two
leases at Sun and Sugar Creek on
Loop Creek, left by pIaim.iT as Il
protection against watcr coming in,
TO the Sun works. BY reason of Inc
removal of the barrier, it is contend
ed, 1t has been necessary to erect a
concrete protecting wall. The
Sugar Greek Company in which
Huntington people are Interested
and which is under the manage
ment of Alex McNabb explicitly and
emphatically denies the removal of
any coal not under lease to them.
More than a dozen mining engineers
and experts have been called in as
witnesses and their testimony was
being heard last week. There is to
be no appeal from the decision OF
the arbitrators.

a world Of subterranean dealings

Those Of The old school, TO be

Fas too much for them to take it up

hours after the hold-up although po-
