r. Pleasant Register
The Register has for years urged our peo-
pie to take some steps to induce immigra-
tion into this State. The business men OF
Wheeling are now moving in this matter,
to put on foot permanent organization to
accomplish this object. A meeting Is call
ed in that city for February Goth. Let our
county send delegates.
Tyler Star.
Tyler county should be represented in
the meeting at Wheeling on the Goth,
which is called to take measures to set
forth the advantages of the State and in
duce immigration. II the State Is to have
boom, as we beliyc it shortly will have,
our county should have its share. There
is no better county IN the State, all thiDgs
considered, and an influx Of good peo-
pie would be more than welcome.

I A wise plan would De for the conven-
tion to organize permanent Immigration
Association, whose aim would be TO spread
broadcast the knowledge Of our fertile
resources and Of her social, climatic and
other advantages through the medium of
the press and other publications; to fu.-
nish the would.be immigrants with the
desired information. to place them in
correspondence with our citizens having
lands for sale or TO let; in q word render
them all possible assistance to secure
homes in our midst. Such an association,
pursuing such course, would accomplish
wonders for the material welfare Of our
State. The farmer of the Northeast is a
desirable acquisitions; we should not let
the opportunity slip by without an effort
on our part to secure him. Now Is the
time to be up and doing; let us not be
found waiting.

The Wheeling Convention from present
indications will be a large one and il is i'm
portent that we be represented there. The
newspapers Of the State have sung its
praises for long time faithfully, but with
out the co operation of the citizens gener-
ally they could hardly be expected to ae-
complish any great amount Of good, though
we believe the effects of their labors have
shown themselves. The people however,
are waking up and We may look for Their
help in the future. Other portions Of the
State have taken hold Of the matter and
will be we'll represented at Wheeling
Harrison, as one Of the largest and
wcalthiest counties, should and will b

be encouraged in this important work by I

may be accomplished and are in earnest il

BOOM THE STATE.

How j. NJ. Hamilton, Of Calhoun, Gives
Some Valuable Information.
To TIE Editor Of tie RegiSs:
GRANTsvILLE, W. Va, February 1s.--
Replying to your favor OF Sth inst. in
reference to the proposed boom" Of the
State OF West Virginia, permit me to say,
that the efforts of the REGISTER and the
Chamber OF Commerce Of the city Of
Wheeling in this behalf, meet my hearty
approval, and think are duly appreciated
by the citizens Of this section OF the State
As to the best method Of advertising
West Virginia / am unable to express an
opinion, but it seems TO me that any means
by which capitalists and others locking for
investments could be led to perceive the
vas: resources Of the State wonld certainly
be Of great advantage to the people. l
am not sufficiently acquainted with the
State at large to speak definitely OF the
advantages afforded by the several sections.
bat as for the Little Kanawha Valley,
believe am able to say that it only needs
development and enterprising spirit to
make it the seat of vast manufacturing
establishments and q suitable place Of resi-.
dence for thousands of people.
Perhaps no river in America which is no
greater iu size or length affords more hid
den and undeveioped wealth than the
Lite Ksuawha. Thousands of acres Of
valuable timber, useful for all purposes
and easy of access, lie along its banks, and
on the upper portions Of the river are coal
deposits sufficient to make vastly wealthy
persons who have the capital and disposi-
tion to develop them. The soil is pro-
ductiye and welt adapted TO the raising OF
grain Of all kind aud other farm products.
1t is also suited to the production of all
kinds Of grasses, and the water being pure
and abundant stock of all kinds could be
grown with profit.
This section is advancing in wealth and
population very rapidly. In 1870 the pop
rlation Of Calhoun county was less than
3, 900; in 1880 il was over 5000, the gain
per cent. being about l02 during the de-
cade. II the same rate of increase has been
kept up since 1880 the population would
now be near Ii, 900.
In the last few years lands have doubled
in value in this county, but they are still
so cheap that men who come here from
distance are surprised at the prices. Lands
which, in the older and more fully devel-
oped counties of the State, would sell from
$40 to 500 per acre can here be purchased
at from 81 to SIS. The county lies about
% miles south of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad and about 40 miles east OF the
Ohio river.
The county seat is nineteen miles above
the head OF navigation on the Little ka-
nawha river, and there Is no reason why it
should not become one among the best
counties in the State. 1t is to be hoped
that your efforts and those Of the good pso-
pie of Wheeling and elsewhere in this
State shall be productive of this result. 1t
IS likely that Calhoun county will be rep
resented in the Wheeling Convention on
the 29ih inst.
In this year Of conventions Calhoun
should be represented in the one which
bids fair TO be of more benefit TO her than
all the rest. Yours very truly,
J. NJ. HAMILTON.

THE PROpo.ED NEW RESERVOIR.

The Water Board Has Plenty of Money to
do the Work Outlined.
1t is Just beginning to dawn upon some
of the members of Council that they did
not understand the proposition Of the
Water Board, to construct a new high
pressure reservoir, az submitted at the last
session of Council by the members Of the
Committee on Water Works, on behalf Of
the Board. There is 10 doubt that the
Board will have IN abundance Of money to
defray the expenses Of the improvement,
even should j. cost the fifty thousand dol
lars named in the estimate, and still, after
paying running expenses, and its share Of
the city loan interest, amounting to be-
tween fifteen and sixteen thousand dollars,
have a large surplus on hand.
This assertion will per haps be more sat
isfictory if reduced to actual fgures:

And this balance Of 81 ,744. 40 is just as
likely TO be swelled to $4,000, or even
500, 600, for the Board Of Water Trustees
are confident that the work in contempla-
ton will not cost over S45, 900, and proba-
bly not over $40, 900.

which Horse, and Why 2

At this season hundreds, yes. thousand:
of farmers all over our lard are laying
their plans and deciding what breed o.
horses TO patronize The coming year
Some have their minds already made up
while others are hating between two OF
more opinions. Some will d, eide TO use q
certain breed because it is bring doomed
and because his neishhOrs are using it.
Others will take different breed for the
same reason--they want to show their in
dependence. But The level headed, prac.
tical breeder will look carefully over the
different breeds and take The one possessing
the most desirable characteristics, and will
also assure himself that those characters.
tics are fixed in the breed and can be
transmitted to The grade offspring. and
will not ne content with one simply be-
cause he is popular to day. The horse
that can shew the largest number of desir-
able qualities is the horse that will win in
the long race. and will be the horse for
the future; and so is The one to pin our
faith to.
Every horse should be bred for partic-
ular purpose. II forheavy work he should
be model of strength In every pant. If
for carriage purposes his proportions
should be such as to propel him oqer the
ground with an easy, graceful motion and
he should not need pound of surplus
flesh to cover defects in form, for every
ounce put on for that purpose is Il detri-
ment TO him.
The writer OF this has been familiar with
the different English breeds of horses for
many years, and he said when Geo. T..
Brown e. Co., Aurora, ILL.,, commenced
the introduction OF the Cleveland Bay and
Shire something over dozen years ago, 1t
would only be a question OF time when
they would be recognized as the best
types for their respective purposes and TO-
day they stand without peer-the Cleve-
land bay for his grand style. commanding
appearance and fitness for general purposes
as well as for fancy matched carriage and
coach teams; the Shires for their massive
proportions. great, flinty bone, strong mus
Gle and sinew; they are not only heavy
enough for any purpose but have strength
Of constitution. pluck and endurance, far
superior 10 any other breed, and this is
what has brought them to the front and
these qualities are what insure them the
lead for oil time.
Cleveland bays and shires have the
strongest. cleanest bone and soundest feet
Of any Of the large breeds aud have behind
them longer line of pure breeding than
any other.
That English breeders have shown the
world the way. IN scientific breeding of
every class Of domestic animals, IL proved
by the fact that oil the world goes there To
procure foundation stock of every class,
bnt particularly in horses every known
breed OF improved horses traces back TO
English stock as its foundation.
