SOMEWHERE IN THE PACIFIC

most mysterious Of the islands of the

prize mysteries of the war to date.

Next day, IN the pressure Of the
mounting battle. the mystery was
temporarily forgotten. But that
night, the tall, blanketed Japanese
returned-he or another just like
him. This time, according to Pfc.
Mohr, the Leathernecks' attention
was attracted to the Jap by Butch"
a Marine war dog. The night was
bright an clear and a full moon
was shining, the Pennsylvania man
recalled, and he and his comrades
could see the figure plainly silhouet-
ted.

The Jap was unusually tan. ac-

time he appeared. wore a blanket
draped around his shoulders. Just
why he dressed this way, the Third
Division men did not know.

Pfc. j. L. Mohr of Philadelphia, Pa.
He apparently was looking for

two field goals, combined with -four
gift losses. Duge Koon connected
for three and a free throw. Glas-

Two Railroads
Coming To
Lick Fork

Not just one but two railroads
are coming to Dickinson county,
according to report, and unpar-
allied prosperity for the people is
seen just around the corner with,
perhaps, flap jack trees on every
hand and molasses rivers for
dunking purposes flowing most
everywhere.
On last Saturday the Interstate
Commerce Commission granted
the requests of both the Clinch-
field Railroad and the Chesa-
peake & Ohio Railroad Company
for the building of railroads in
to the Lick Fork section of Dick
enson county. Both these COM
panies asked for charters to build
roads but it was thought here
that only one of these would be
permitted to construct a line.
Some months ago it was an
nounced that the Clinchfield
Coal Corporation would develop
its extensive. holdings on Lick
Fork, one of the largest coal de-
posts in the south, and shortly
thereafter the CC&O petitioned
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion for permission to build rail
road into the new field. The
CC&O line would run from Ere
mont through Bear Pen Gap
and up Cranesnest to Lick Fork,
while the C&O would build from
Jenkins, KY, through the noun

ings were held at Louisville, KY.
during April then transferred to
Washington, and not until last
week was a final decision reach
ed.
Great expectations have been
held and intense interest shown
by the people of this county,
since it was expected that much
of the benefits would come to
this section should the CC&O
build from Fremont to the new
coafield. No announcement has
been made as to when actual
construction will begin. although
the CC&O has been buying
right-o for the past month
or so and the line has been sur
