     INDOOR GARDENING
     Last year I moved into a small house that doesn’t have a yard.
     This  was  very unfortunate since I enjoy gardening  so  much.
     After  a  summer of envying everyone else’s flower gardens,  I
     decided to do something about it.

     Response to Friday’s History Short:
     
     Kiskiminetas River:  The meaning we were given as young  students
     was  "beautiful water" or waters.  I am not that old,(62) but  do
     remember being told that.  Pat Lods (edited)
     
     
     Kiski Valley’s Salt Industry
     
     The  Kiski  Valley’s salt industry was big business in  the  late
     1700’s through the mid 1800s.  In Saltsburg, Salina, and down the
     Kiskiminetas River to Gravel Bar and Old Kiskiminetas  Town  were
     Gordon  Salt Wells near the Hick mine, the Boggs & Anderson  well
     (just  above Cow Bell Riffle).  On the Westmoreland side  of  the
     river  at Roaring Run were McCauley & Trux wells and a Mr. Gamble
     had yet another well just up river from Roaring Run.
     
     Around  1826  another  well  was  drilled  at  the  side  of  Old
     Kiskiminetas Town. (This area is known today as Pine  Run  Bottom
     and  is  located  near the present day municipal water  treatment
     plant just outside of Vandergrift Borough).
