Interesting to American Lumbermcn


The safe arrival in New York Of the
great log raft is an event OF great inter
est to American lumbermen. 1t shows
that a raft weighing G,4OO tons can be
noated from Nova Scotia to New York at
II cost of $1,000, when the same by ordi'
nary shipment would cost $4,000
"This, says the New York Tribune, will
enable the owner to dispose Of the logs,
which are used mainly in pier building,
ut a lower price than they could be
bought for at Bangor, Maine"
1t used to be said that the cost Of
transportation was Protection enough,
but one ingenious device after another is
resorted to for the cheapening OF trans
portation, and in fact that element OF
Protection is scarcely to be counted on
any longer. But in lumber rs in other
commodities the cheap and cheapening
methods Transportation are not enough
for the Free Traders who are undertake
ing to tinker our tariff.
To everything else they must add the
weight of legislation; and 30 they put
lumber on the free list. In other words,
they say to the timber OF West Virginia,
Stand there until you die Of old age!
Very much of the development of West
Virginia depends upon the possibility
OF getting our lumber to market. Thou
sands OF acres OF our land has no other

FRESNO county, California, shows an
increased valuation, this year, Of SlO,-
100000, which, says u correspondent, sis
due almost wholly to rasin-making."
It's significantly added that thousands
of acres have been put into choice rasin
grapes, which will not yield any profit
il the Mills bill is passed." Besides our
common interest in the common pros
perity, we are interested to sell to the
rasin-makers of California our nails,
glass and crockery. Iftheir industry be
strangled ours is to that extent crippled.
So it goes through the whole round Of
home industries, manufacturing, agri-
cultural and pastoral.

a RousIng Meeting In Marion County.
To The Editor Of thG Mteliigcnccr.
SrR:-Pleasc allow me, through the
columns OF your valuable paper, to re-
port one OF the most interesting and sue
cessful Republican meetings that ever
was held in Winfield District On Friday
night, August 10, our club, which num-
bers over 200, with many others (somC
DemOcrats) met at the school house al
Catawba. The first speaker was Mr.. 7,
II. B. Staggers, OF Fairmont who very
ably discussed some OF the issues OF the
day for short time. The next speaker
was the Hon. Charles NJ. Shinn, OF
Fairmont, who took the Tariff question
for his text; and more eloquent and
intelligent Protection speech was never
delivered here. Mr.. Shinn can get down
deeper, up higher and out wider on the
Tariff question than any man we ever
heard, setting forth the facts that a Pro-
tective Tariff is to the labOring man
bread and butter and meat on his table,
shoes on his Children's feet, Il smile on
his wiie's face, peace, prosperity and
happiness around his tireside, while
Free Trade brings the reverse OF all this,
and more too. Mr.. Shinn quoted from
the Louisville ColTicr-JournGi the re
mark that all Democrats that were not
Free Traders had better leave the party.
There was a prominent Democrat in
the house who, on his way home, pub
licly declared that Shinn was correct,
for he had the COHier-JOuTnGl in his
house with the same language in it, and
he further remarked that Mr.. Shinn
told the truth all the way through his
speech, and it was no use to deny it.

A CAMroRNA physician objected tc
his wife powdering her face. She con
tinued the offensive practice, and for If
teen months they did not speak; which
may have been something Of relief al
around. Then the husband left the wife
and the court has granted divorce on
the ground OF desertion. We suspect
this to be covert advertisement fol
somebody's face powder, but US the name

Michael brennan Found Dead.

Mr.. N. j. Bielenberg, who came in from
Nevada Creek Tuesday. informs US that as
his men were driving stock past the house
of Michael brennan, six miles this side OF
Helmville, on Sunday last, they entered and
found him lying there dead. He was aged
rs or 80 years. He had a ranch and some
stock, but did not provide we'll for himself,
and resolutely refused all all and assistance,
although it was offered by many persons.
He was really too feeble or indisposed to do
his own cooking, and abstinence from food
probably aided the infirmities Of e in
causing his death. The coroner's jury so
ad;udeed. It had been the intention of some
of his neighbors about the time of his death
to remove him to the hospital here, but the
resolution had not been carried into effect
Quickly enough. The fatalities we relate
this week are a strong suggestion to org
hearted people in the several communities
to look after cases of like character, and be
insistent that aged and infrm people living
alone shall nave companionship at home or
BE- removed to where they will have care,
nourishment and comfortable quarters. Old
age is naturally perverse. 1t is sometimes
humaue to meet unwise perverslty with
irmness.
