The boom" convention at Wheeling
was 9 success. It Ia said TO have been this
Largest assemblBge Of representative men
that has ever Convened in the State, and
they were not there through selfish mo.
tives, but to take council as to the best
means Of developing the vast natural re-
sources OF our grand young common

The Tucker "Pioneer" says: The engi.
neer corps 10 busy these days laying out
new towns on the extension. New towns
on pspaer in West Virginia look as we'll az
thoee Of the West, and properly advertised
are gong to be means OF drawing immi-
grafton this way, that otherwise would
not think Of looking here for new homsg.
The WestVirginia Central is doing good
deal Of practical booming.
The State immigration Convention last
week at Wheeling was great success in
numbers and enthusiasm, and wRs tho
means Of attracting the attention Of the
country 10 the State. But It will take
more than talk and enthusiasm to attract
the millions Of capital and the tide OF i'm.
migration to cur State necessary to its in.
crease and development Much will de-
pend on the officers OF the organisation.

Speaking Of the State Development
Convention, the Preston county Jour
nal" says: Wheeling treated the strang-
ers within her gates txCellently. Che al
ways does. Hers are truly hospitabs
people. On the day following the con-
vention the delegates who remained, some
500 in number, were taken on an exCur-
sion to the paIk, and in the evening 10 the
steel WorkB. The selection Of Mr.. Hart
for the Preeident Of the Association was
one eminently fit 10 be made. He wSs
the originator Of the movement, and has
the energy, the business qualifications,
and the TACT to carry 1t on to greater suc-
Gees"
From the Wsynesburg, (Pa) "Iude-
pendent" the following Is clipped:
"The immigration and Slate Develop.
ment convention held at Wheeling last
week, was mammoth affair, and like tho
"bresd on the wstsTs, will bo gathered
many days." and the gathering Ia bound
to come coon. Never in the history Of
the State has there been q more signif-
cant gathering, or any effort put forth
looking to the development o! the State,
than that one. The Information relative
10 the resources Of the Ststs contained IN
the speeches Of ex-senator Davis, Stephen
B. Elkius and Secretary Of slste Henry S.
Walker cannot fall to yield fruit that will
inure 10 tho great good Of the State. We
believe investment can ba made 10 greater
advantage in the Mountain State than in
many paits Of the windy West. West
ViTRlnla's soI, mineral wealth, f1a tim
Der and sSlubrious climate command the
attention Of the thoughtful who are geek
