The Nome nugget., 1928-06-23

The Cheechacco Ball given st Eagle Hall last Tuesday night, un- der the auspices of the Eagle Hall Commission, was a grand success, both socially and financially. A good sized crowd of dance lovers attended as well as many specta- tors. The Nome Jazzhounds fur nished the music for the occasion but during an intermission the au- dience was given 1reat to two banjo selections played by new conner, his name being unknown to us, which were we'll rendered and heartily applauded. Then the or chestra composed of passengers OH the Victoria relieved the Jazz hounds for few numbers and gave Nomites thrill with the very latest dance music. Then the two orchestras played together, and, oh, boy!-what music! Why Nome has not heard anything like t for several years. And strange as 1t may appear. practically all the musicians were boys and girls who were raised in Nome and re- ceived their high school education in Nome. and who have. been in the States improving their talents. It has been suggested that some time in the near future musicale entertainment be arranged and this aggregation and others who happen to he here be given an op- portunity to give Nomeites a won derful nights concert.

THOMAS E. PENDERGAST

Thomas E. Pendergast, aged co
years, of Grafton, W. Va, a Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad conductor, died
suddenly yesterday morning on train
No. 3, as he was being taken to a hos
pital at Grafton. The deceased was
on his regular run between Cumber-
land and Grafton, being in charge of a
freight train, when he was taken ill.
He was placed on board of the pas
senger train at a point near Terra
Alta but died before the train had
reached M. & X. Junction, ten miles
west. He was in the employ of the
railroad company for more than forty
years. He is survived by his father,
Thomas E. Pendergast, ST., and two
sisters and five brothers, one of whom,
Edward Pendergast, is a resident of
Oakland, other members of the fam
lily being residents of Grafton, w. Va.
Funeral services will be held Satur-
day morning at st. Augustine's Cath
Ole church, Grafton, with interment
in the church cemetery.

three to Crellin last Thursday night
and one game out of three to the
Lutherans on Monday night.
The Lutherans took two games
from the Presbyterians on Thursday
but lost two games to the Postoffice
quintet Monday. The Presbyterians
were also defeated Monday night
when Crellin took two out of three
games, The five members Of the Luth-
eran team rolled a total of 691 pins
in one game, while Walters of the
Presbyterians had the high score Of
the week in a total of three games
with 472.
Tonight the Methodists will meet
the Knights of Columbus and the Mer-
chants will try to hold first place by
downing the Rotary Club.

Such is rather a mixed blessing.
The saving at the factories was, of
course, enormous. But at the same
time the difficulties of the coal indus
try were increased proportionately.
Coal has not yet recovered from the
wartime over-expansion. There are
too many mines open and too many
miners for all to make a fair living,
peace-time demand being what it is.
With overproduction the basic
trouble of the coal industry, radical
reduction of the coal needed for manu-
featuring, as well as the increasing
identification of the railroads and
also for the heat and power require
ments of both commercial and domes-
tic users, tend to postpone further adj
profitable, soundly economic basis.
However, there is no possible relief
for the coal industry in this direction.
The progress of engineering science is
certain to make steam plants more eff
ficient with the use of less coal, water
power ought to be utilized and not
permitted to run to waste, and manu-
facturers are exercising only common
sense in taking advantage Of these
economies. Ultimately the public will
gain by lower prices of goods.
The great hope for the coal industry
is not to try to force, in the face of
naturally lessened demand for fuel,
high prices by artificial means. The
salvation of the coal industry lies in
utilizing the vast by-product values of
coal which are now ordinarily wasted.
The tar and chemical constituents
in lump of coal have a worth, read
lily procurable, fifteen or twenty times
greater than that of the mere fuel
value. 1t is by the extraction and
marketing, on a large commercial
scale, of these elements that certain
and substantial profits will be brought
to the coal industry in the future.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1928-11-22
ELECTRICITY AND THE
COAL PROBLEM

More than 70 per cent of the AL
100000 horsepower now used in the
factories of the United States is cleo
trical. There is 4.3 horse power for
every worker, or twice as much as in
1910.
Moreover, electrifcation of factor
les is proceeding at rapid pace. 1t
will not be many years until practi-
cally all the power of our shops and
mills will be electrical. The reason is
that electricity is the cheapest, clean
est, most dependable and convenient
of all power, and is becoming con-
stantly more readily available with
the growth of great interconnecting
utilities and the development of the
nations waterpower.
1t is estimated that this increased
efficiency of steam plants and use of
water power saved the factories last
year 100000 tons of coal, which
otherwise would have been consumed
to obtain the same power. This is
about % per cent more than the
amount Of coal actually used.
