East I Ohio Oregon roads praised by former Monmouth staffer
In a Williamsport letter to R E Swerson printed in the Monmouth Herald Prof Gilmore formerly of the Monmouth Normal faculty notes coal costs vary by region with western Pennsylvania coal at 3.50 a ton and Colorado at 42.50. He observes Pennsylvania mines running three days weekly and other states showing building booms. He reports road quality in Pennsylvania among the best seen, contrasts Oregon and Indiana roads, recalls gas prices and a skunk encounter, and ends with warm wishes for Monmouth and its school.
