There are good many people in
West Virginia who are interested in
claims already presented and to be
hereafter presented to Congress, for
consideration. We looked over the

and found no less than thirty-nine ref

these two committees, saying nothing
about the claims that have notreached
any committee. From Judge Hoge's
District there are before the claims
Committee bills for the relief of Rich
ard W. Meade and the employees of
the United States who were at Har-
per's Ferry at the outbreak Of the
war; petitions of J. n. Mason, W. F.
Wilson and others: and before the
War Claims Committee bills and petit
tons OF the German Lutheran Church
of Martinsburg, John l.. Straith, Dan
lei Bedinger's representatives, John
III. King, Trinity Church at Martins
burg, Lydia A. Hickman, Elizabeth
Hamilton, Samuel Brywning, Wiley
Lodge l. O. O. F., and the German
Evangelical Church at Martinsburg.

Some people imagine that when
they see man staggering along our
streets that he is intoxicated. Why,
bless your suspicious soul, the license
grant forbids the sale of liquor to any
one, to INVESTIGATION. And don't you
suppose that if any of our dealers
would dare TO go beyond their grant,
that the authorities would pull them
up at once without fear or favor. Oh,
no, it's big mistake; the law does
not allow such things.

An Important Enterprise.


9. P. Mattocks has bonded the Cumberland
and Oxford Canal property from Saccarappa
to Sebago Lake, to Massachusetts parties, to DC
used in the construction of a narrow gauge
railroad, in order to develop the water-power
in this section of the canal
1t is understood the Golf & Plummer mill
property, and the water-power at the head
dam, will be utilized to the fullest extent.
One of the largest concerns in New England
will develope the power at the head dam as
soon as the railroad is constructed. The DIS
tsnce from the connection with the P. and y.
r. r. between Gambo and White Rock to the
Head Dam is five and eight-tenths miles. AS
the road-bed is all ready for the rails and ties,
the cost of construction will be very slight and
grades easy. AS soon as the business is more
fully developed on the river it is proposed to
lay third rail, and haul the P. and o. cars
direct to the mills.
The development of these water powers VIII
be OF great importance to Portland as well as
the P. and o. r. r.
