bers do not seem to care about pay.
ing, and accordingly the place and furni.
ture are TO be cold. 1t was proposed by
the secretary of one of the iron mills that
the management Of the Etna, Standard
and Cressent mills organiza an assnoiaiio-
known as the Ohio Valley Iron Associa'
ton, aud in copartnership with the or
ganization 10 which their work
men belong, purchase the reading
room and furniture and use it as q place in
which the representatives OF each side
might meet and diacuss any question
which might arise. and settle difficulties
and talk over the situation, the place 10 be
known as the headquarters or principal Of.
flee Of the Ohio Valley Iron Association.
The scheme is good one and would no
doubt be the means OF bringing the ncces'
sary factors of the iron industry closer to-
gether.

ing plan to have main run to Martins
Ferry and purchase or rent supply OF
water for at least part OF
the town. Il is thought that
very small expense we could have q sup
ply Of water equal to the demands Of the
town. We can never get water without
taking it above the head of the Island, as
the new government dam built last cum.
mer renders all the water back OF it unfit
for culinary and drinking purposes.
