Under the new scheme per cent would

excepting the one-quarter per cent re-
served from the tenants annuities.
After further elaborate financial detail,
showing how the imperial eXchequer
was secured against default, Mr.. Bal
four said it was impossible. unless there
were repetition of the calamity of the
famineS of 1916, that the guarantees af-
fecting the poor law and education
grants would ever be approached. He
next explained that it was designed to
use the One-quarter per cent from the
tenants annual per cent as local
fund for the erection of labOrers' dwell
ings. The tenants per cent extended
over forty-n:ne years. In regard to
cOngeSted districts, where cOngested
area covered 25 per cent Of any county,
it would be constituted a separate
county for the purposes OF the act. A
board, consisting of the chief secretary
for Ireland, a delegate from the
land department., and dele
gate from the fishery board,
who would be the official members,
and five others would be selected to
control cOngested districts. A grant of
81 100000 from the Irish church sur
plus would be devoted to relieving con-
gestioD, assisting the development Of
the fisheries, and otherwise fostering
industries and ameliorating the condi-
tion of the poorest districts. Mr.. Bal
four, in concluding, defended the
scheme. as without any conceivable
risks to the imperial taxpayer, while
the e33 100000 advanced under the bill,
with the Gl0,000.000 of the Ashbourne
act, would establish perpetual fund
from which future purchases Of tenants
might be made. Mr.. Gladstone, in
brief speech, said that the scheme was
certainly very complicated, and that
thanks were due Mr.. Balfour for the
obvious pains he had taken in its
preparation. 1t was premature, he
added, to discuss the involved proposals
of the bill, which required close
scrutiny. The bill passed the first
reading.
Says It's Bold Scheme.
After the presentation of the land
purchase bill by Mr.. Balfour in the
house of commons, Mr.. Gladstone made
a speech at dinner at the National
Liberal club. In the course OF his re-
marks. he spoke of the bill as bold
measure which involved the British
taxpayers, assuming large pecuniary
liability, and which therefore demanded
searching consideration. Referring to
the Parnell commission, he said he
could not conceive of a shorter method
of suicide than that adopted by the
house of lords on Friday in approving
the commissions report. The commits
sion was crippled and One-sided mas
much as it did not condemn the Times.

icaI m ethOdS which were as DeW-fan-

WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
Proposed Subsidy to the Winni-
peg & Hudson's Bay Railway.


WINNIPEG, Man., March 24.-The
government introduced bill in the
house this afternoon granting subsidy
of S75O,OOO to the Winnipeg & Hudson's
Bay railway. This will be $1,000 per
mile for $50 miles in Manitoba. AS an
alternative the government will under
take to guarantee interest on bonds, but
have not stated to what extent they are
prepared to go in that respect. The
proposed grant will not be acceptable to
the company, and it is said has already
been refused, being regarded as a slur
on the enterprise. The government is
trying to freeze out the present COM
pany so that the Northern Pacific can
get control of its charters and Dominion
land grants. The government would
not have offered any subsidy Whatever
had not the legislature taken a deter
mined stand in favor of the lines.

Almost Ready,

Fire has been kindlcd in the engines
at the brewery of the Virginia Brew
cry Company and all arrangements
for the manufacture of beer are nearly
complete. The work of manufacture
ing beer will begin next week and
then the street railway company will
have to establish depot at the brew
cry for more people will stop there,
doubtless, than go to Vinton.
Manager Louis Sholz is evidently
the right man in the right place,
Judging from the expeditions manner
in which the work has been completed
1t is also understood that he will or
ganize Hop Growers association al
an early day. There is an excellent
idea and should meet with the APP
proval of every farmer in the sur.
rounding counties. There are nc
places better adapted to the rails
ing Of hops than Franklin, Floyd,
Montgomery, Roanoke and the
other adjacent counties and indeed
all over Southwest Virginia the soil is
suited TO the cultivation OF. hops, and
then, too, it will be the source of a
big revenue The market heing SO
near, the cost of shipment Will
be comparatively small, there
fore an experiment should be made by
the farmers anyway. Mr. Sholey has
distributed several bushels of hops
and barley among some of the first
class farmers near here and they will
make thorough test Of the MATES rs
to the adaptability Of the soil.

ANOTHER line SECURED.
The Norfolk and Western Owns The
SciOta Valley Railroad.

The Norfolk and Western Railroad
Company, which has done SO much to
build UP Southwest Virginia, and of
which every citizen in this section IS
proud, has just secured the ownership
of the Sciota Valley railroad, of OHIO,
one of the most important lines In
that State.
The purchase of this road gives the
Norfolk and Western a thorough line
from Columbus, Ohio, to Norfolk, Va,
a distance of about 725 miles. Tie
Sciota runs throug fine country, S
in excellent condition, and will be a
valuable acquisition to the Norfolk
and Western. 1t is hundred and
thirty-one miles in length and e%-
tends from Columbus to lronton, It
which point it will connect with the
Ohio extension of the Norfolk and
Western. now under construction ana
which will be completed by the mid
die of next year The Norfolk and
Western will, when the Ohio exter-
sion is completed, operate nearly
1000 miles OF road.

RESIDENCE PROPERTY.
The East End HAS Nice building Lois
in Abundance.

Thereal estate market has been very
active in Roanoke during the past
week. Owners, agents and purchasers
were all in good humor, and every
body is satisfied.
The market during the week has
shown largely increased sales in every
department, and James S. Simmons
& Co, report number OF large sales.
Not ONLY is this increase of sales very
noticeable in the transfers of property
for speculative purposes, but also for
nermauent investors, men who pro-
nose TO build homes for themselves.
As the summer advances much &C
tivitv in building operations IS no
ticed, and many new houses are IN
process of construction. This natll-
rally makes the real estate market
much firIuer, and agents are cores
pondingly happy. Simmons y Co.
have been doing rushing business,
one of the best since the firm was est;t-
blished. The East End property is
changing hands very rapidly, and
MANY new houses will be erected this
season.
Among the prominent additions in
the East End, is that of the Oak Ridge
Land Company. The addition lies
lust east of Belmont and south of the
East Side Land Company's property
and adjoins the farms of Messrs.
George Taylor and 6. W. Carr.
This offers every inducement as a
place of residence. 1t is removed from
the business portion of the city anu
therefore gives a quiet, suburban
home, while at the same time II is
near the dummy line and therefore
quite convenient to the city.
The land is high and dry and has
just enough slope to give it good
drainage. Gas and water mains are
being put in and new streets are being
laid out. Everything is propitious,
and it is destined to take its proper
place in the front rank. 1t is located
near the furnace, rolling mill, bridge
works and the machine works ana
offers, therefore, greater inducements
TO the workingman, as it is near his
work. A number of neat cottages are
going ND and others have been con
tracted for.
James S. Simmons s. Co., are agents
for the company, and they can give
good bargains. The property is going
Rapidly, and if you want to obtain q
good bargain, call on them at once
Tie prices for the lots are low and the
terms easy, SO every man gan own his
home.
