their enterprise in making direct rail-
road connection with this rich territory,
are enjoying benefits that Wheeling
might long ago have had had her manu-
facturers displayed similar spirit oil
enterprise.
We can fatter ourselves, however
that the spell of inactivity that has held
Wheeling in its embrace so long is about
to be broken. The proposed Wheeling
and Connellsville road will not only
place Wheeling's iron industry on the
same footing as that of Pittsburg
as regards coke, but will IN
evitably result in the opening
up of one Of the richest sections OF
West Virginia to Wheeling manufact-
urers. The enterprising gentlemen
back of the proposed road will, we are
assured, by no means stop work at Con-
nellsville They will push on south
ward TO the inexhaustible mines OF
wealth in our own State ana open
them up TO Wheeling manufacturers
thus placing our industries in all re-
spects not only on an equality with, but
ahead Of those Of Pittsburg as regards
raw materials. Incidentally the new
road will open up new and vast trad
ing territory for Wheeling merchants a
territory that is naturally tributary to
Wheeling, but which from lack Of com
munication with rs is forced to go TO
Pittsburg to trade.
1t is impossible TO enumerate all the
advantages Of the proposed Wheeling
and Connellsville road in the space at
our command. They will be readily
recognized. however, by all intelligent
people and the REGISTER can assure the
projectors Of the enterprise that they
can count upon the substantial backing
OF Wheeling and Ohio county.

weather from the 10th to the 26th and the
numerous storm waves that Will cross tne
continent during that period, including
some of the coolest weather and heaviest
frosts of the month. The last storm wave
of the month will be due to leave the
Pacific coast about the 2Sth, cross the
Rocky-Allegheny valley from April ~ 10
Nav |, and reach the Atlantic coast ABOUT
May2 The low barometer OF this storm
will take a northern route, causing very
warm weather preceding ii In most OF the
States. The rains from the storm Will not
be so heavy as were those OF the middle
third of the month, and following it will be
but little frost in the United States. The
cool wave that will follow this storm Will
not cause much of a drop in the tempera-
ture, and, altogether, the weather will be
favorable to the growing crops.
The month of May will have few nota-
BILE and severe storms, but the month will
be calm as compared with that of June.
The heaviest storms Of May will occur
during the first half of the month and the
heaviest rains during the last half. From
Nav - to % will be colder than either the
first or last part of the month and frosts
NAV occur north of the fortieth degree

The demand for department of agricul-
tural meteorology in connection with the
Washington weather bureau is becoming
general in the agricultural States. Boards
of trade and farmers organizations are
passing resolutions on the subject, which
they send to Secretary Rusk at Washing
ton. If the editors of weekly papers would
take up this matter and each send an edl-
torial from their pen TO Secretary Rusk, 1t
would have great infiuance in the matter.
The producers are entitled to all the knowl-
edge that can be obtained and the earliest
possible information about the condition
and quantity of the crops of the world, and
this result can be attained only through a
department of agricultural meteorology.
