An even hundred years have »lapsed since one William Wurta, a Philadel phia merchant, drove his team of mules with the first ton of anthracite through the spring freshets and bog land to the banka of the Delaware river and floated the new fuel down the river to Philadelphia ou a pine log raft. , But be experienced no little diffi culty In that flrat anthracite year of 1820 In overcoming the popular objec tion that lite coal was “extremely alow of lighting.'* Pine log rafts floated only 365 tons of anthracite that year. But it fetched a price of $12 a ton and could be delivered frelgbt-on-raft Philadelphia at $3—a fact that was freely advertised to attract additional capital, for, of course, there was no profiteering In those days. Spring freshets and bog land and slow inflammability uo longer worry operators. Silk shirts for miners are a bigger nuisance. But production in a hundred years has jumped to 86.• 200,000 tons, and could this year sur pass the 100 mllllou-ton mark, which was almost reached in 1917. Reading. Wllkesbarre, Lehigh.

If one or two of the individuals who are studiously circulating the report that the Herald “has no cir culation,” would circulate around a litfle more and boost for the wel fare of Lente they would then be out of the moss back class that tend to keep this community from having the number of inhabitants to which it is entitled. The Vord hates a knocker, and when Gabriel and Peter opens the gate there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth among this class of unde sirables that obtain a greater or less degree in every community known. H. A. Damall, a former proprie tor of the Mt. Scott Herald and who ■built the commodious building naw occupied by this newspaper, was a pleasant caller last Tuesday. Mr. Damall is now a homy handed farmer, which does not detract in the least from our estimation of the man and the good sense he has shown in his change of vocation. Three times in the past few years the writer has sold his print shop to fulfill that dream of “a few chick ens, a cow, some pigs and a garden,” only to fall back into the smear of the ink within a very few weeks. We have thus given up those fond anticipations for our declining years and have about concluded to stick to our first love until “our ship comes in,” or the sheriff moves us. As the political pot begins to boil and sizzle the candidate will soon be abroad in the land, with glad hand and irrepressible blarney. But the time of this gentry is being fast relegated to the rear. Thankful to relate, the average voter these days not only reads and reflects, but does not assume strictly to party ties, but takes into consideration not only the l>latfomi and promises of a party—he sizes up’ the man—his past record: his ability to make good; his integrity and not the syecopant bowing of the knee be fore election—and to hades with you after he has secured your vote. As the Mt. Scott Herald belongs to no clique, clan or coropration; own ed excusively by its proprietor: this newspaper stands in a most enviable position, that it needs not bow to any man or combination of men To be brief: when it becomes ne cessary, in the pending campaign to give our honest convictions the er rors if any made, will be of the head, not of the heart DENBY TRUCK ■> Multnomah State Bank Spirella the W oriel’s Best Corset T" See F.
