BUENA VIsTA's PROGRESS.
A Great Work Accomplished in
Short Time.

AS staff correspondent of THE
TIMES wrote on the 9th of March last,
Bucna Vista and tho Buena Vista
Company have passed into the indus
trial history of Virginia and the South
as great success. A great work has
been accomplished here in short time.
The Buena Vista Company was organ
lied at Lexington. on January 10, 1889,
but it was not until in July of that year
that it opened an Office in an old dilapi-
dated frame building there. Where now
stands the busy, prosperous city of
Buena Vista, with population of 5000,
and numerous industries in successful
operation, and others springing up as if
by magic, was then the Rev. B. c.
Moomaw's farm.
Col. a. II. Barclay. of Lexington was
made president of the company, and
with the aid Of Rev. Moomaw, he began
work Barclay is big man in avoirdu-
pois and brain power, and years ago
eliminated the word "Fail" from his vo-
cabulary. He thoroughly understands
The art Of advertising and appreciates at
its true value tho power OF the press.
One OF the first things he did was to see
that paper, we'll equipped for the work
it was expected to do, was established
here. 1t was called the Advocate, be-
cause it was to advocate the interests
of Bucna Vista Tho veteran journal
list, w. ii. Bailie, was placed in charge,
and with the aid of Rev. Moomaw, who
recently purchased half interest in the
plant, he has made it power for good.
1t required work, but Baltic was equal
to the task, and has grown fat and gray
in It's performance. a commcndable
feature in the management of the Ad-
vocate is that it never makes an asser
ton about Buena Vista that cannot be
substantiated at u moments notice.
The first industry established at
Buena Vista was saddle and harness
factory. The company subscribed to
the capital stock and has continued this
| policy. Since then industries have
multiplied rapidly. The wood pulp and
works, several planning mills, furniture
and chair factory, wire fence factory,
egg crate factory, two newspaper and
job printing plants, the Buena Vista
Iron Company's furnace, Wise Wagon
Works, arc and incandcscent light
plants, the First National Bank OF
Bucna Vista, lIucna Vista Loan and
Trust Company and the Buena Vista
Banking and Investment Company have
been established and are at work with
capital aggrcgating 1881 900 In adj
dition to this enumeration there are,
not including the Bucna Vista Com
pany. sixteen investment and land COM
panies, with 4 total capital of $780, 600.
The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1891-05-25

ton facilities are assured, for the peo.
pie OF Buena Vista assert with degree
OF confidence that carries conviction
with,it that the Valley branch of the
baltimore and Ohio will be extended
from Lexington to this young and pros
porous city, and later to Roanoke, and a
connection there with tho Southern
States via the Roanoke and Southern
railway.
North river runs through Buena Vista
and supplies magnificent water rower,
adequate to every demand that is likely
TO be made upon it, even if tho verlest
dreams OF the most sanguine are
realized.
To sum up, Buena Vista is a thriving
industrial city. with future bright
enough to satisfy any reasonable man or
people. Surrounded by inexhaustible
Quantities of mineral, clays, timber and
stone with two great trunk lines of
railway to bring in coke and coal and
carry out the products of her factories,
the town will continue to grow. in spite
OF little reverses which would chec},
other communities. Here they are not
noticed. NV
One Of the strongest arguments that
can be advanced in favor of Huena
vista is that nobody, not even the most
chronic croaker, entertains a doubt about
It's bright and prosperous future.

STRIKE UPON STRIKE.
Oakland Union Mill-Carpenters
Called Out.
Blacksmiths Declare War on Lynch's Shop.
Arbitrator Lewis Condemned by the
Molders-Eastern Iron.

The strike Of the mill carpenters for a
working day Of eight hours has spread to
Oakland. All the union carpenters and
furnture-workers employed in the mills
over the bay will strike tomorrow, and will
remain out, by order Of the Carpenters Dis
trict Council, until the eight-hour day is
established in this city and vicinity.
This action was taken by direction of the
District Council, in order that the Oakland
members of the Mill-owners' Association
should be obliged to partake of the dose
they were willing to have the San Francisco
members swallow. Since the strike was in
augurated in this city the Oak land mill
owners have been prospecting, as they have
been receiving work which the local mill
men would have obtained if their journey
men had not struck. This pleasing condi-
ton Of affairs is now at an end, and the
Oakland eTs will have to bear their share of
the burden which the San Francisco men
have borne.
The union carpenters of Oakland turned
out en- masse last night to attend meeting
at the California Medical College, called to
discuss the strike. Stirring addressesw ere
made by p. NJ. Wellin, w. r. Jack and G..
Meanwell, members of the Carpenters Dis
trlct Council, who placed before their hearers
the urgent necessity OF supporting the San
francisco strikers. At the conclusion of the
speech-making resolution was passed that
all mill carpenters strike tomorrow and re-
main out until the eiSht-hour day is estab-
liShed.
The Millmen's Association met behind
closed doors yesterday afternoon and dis
cuSsed the strike for three hours. They say
they took ITO action in the matter. 1t is
stated, however, that they prepared reply
to the District Councils demand for the es-
adjustment of the eight-hOur day and that
1t will be submitted at the weekly meeting
OF the association this afternoon.
The strikers amused themselves during
the day by taking snapshots at the nom
union men at work in the shops. They Sc
cured several photographs, and will send
them with the names of all those now
at work TO the organ of the Carpenters
Union. The strikers pickets reported at
meeting of their union last night that only
two factories were working.
At one of these they found the proprietor
with new apron grit about him and with
plane in hand, They facetiously reprOached
him, and he graVely replied that he would
strike today.
The mills in Oakland affected by the coun-
ellis ord er are the California Door Factory,
Oakland Planning mills, Pioneer Mills, Zenith
Mills, the East Oakland Planing-mills and
one or two smaller concerns.

MOLDERs, UNION.
Arbitrator Lewis Condemnation From
the East.

Arbitrator Lewis Contamination From
the East.
The refusal OF the Iron-founders' Asso-
citation to arbitrate with the Molders' Union
has displeased not only the union but GER
tain building contractors, who think that 1t
was Ill advised.
Charles c. Terrill, prominent contractor,
Is reputed to have said yesterday: 81 be-
lieye that no man nor association of men is
justified in refusing to arbitrate. When
there is any sort of controversy between
two parties it is folly for one of them to say
mere fact that there is controversy of any
sort between them is proof positive that
arbitration is possible and necessary"
The report that State Arbitrator Lewis,
instead OF advising the millmen to arbitrate
with the carpenters now on strike, cOun-
seled them TO keep up the fight, and offered
them financial resistance If they would do
so. was discussed at last nights meeting of
the Molders' Union and his alleged action
was vehemently condemned. The union
instructed its delegates to the Council of
Federated Trades to petition the Governor
to cancel his commission.
The union has received information from
tho East that some OF the steel work for
cruiser No. is being made in Pennsylva-
MIA. The union sent two captured 'scabs"
out of the city yesterday. Donations for
the benefit of the strikers were received
from the Typographical, Macnnists' and
Brewery Workmen's Unions of this city
and from the Gomper's Ball Committee.

drunken sailor named J. C. Christopher at
North Beach on Thursday but escaped at
the time while Donovan was caught, was
found In room on Green street last night

While making his escape he was shot at
by Officers Walsh and p. Mcmahon, but as
he kept on running without diminution of
his speed they supposed they had missed
him. When they arrested him they found
him suffering from bullet wound in the
right thigh, which though very painful is
not serious.
The prisoner, though quite young, has a
very bad reputation, and is considered a
very bold and dangerous character. Officer
