John j. Valentine, who was elected
President Of Wells, Fargo d Co., at
its annual meeting in San Francisco
on Thursday, succeeded Lloyd Tevis,
who gave up the Office in order to de-
vote more time to his real estate and
other interests in California. w. F.
Good was reelected First Vice Pres
ident and Col. Dudley Evans was
elected Director and Second Vice
President.
Mr.. Valentine was born at Bowling
Green, KY, in 1910. He began his
business career in 1854, in the office
Of Younglove Brothers, agents for
Carter, Thomas & Co.'s stage and
express lines at Bowling Green, and
he has, therefore, been in the express
business about thirty-eight years.
He became identified with the Adams
Express and continued in the service
Of that company until 1861, when
he resigned and went to California
After filling a number of positions
in the service of Wells, Fargo & Co..
Express with great credit to himself,
he was appointed Superintendent of
its Pacific Division. In 1869 he was
appointed General Superintendent
with headquarters in this city. The
business, however, being principally
on the Pacific coast the general Of
fee was transferred to San Francisco
in 1870 In 1882 he was elected a
Director in the company and at the
same time to the Office of Vice Pres
ident.
Col. Evans is native of Virginia.
He entered the service of Wells,
Fargo q Co. over twenty-five years
ago as assistant agent at Victoria,
British Columbia, afterwards filling
the positions Of agent at Portland,
Oregon, supervising agent, Superin-
tendent of the Northwestern Divis-
ion and General Superintendent of
the Central Department with
headquarters at Omaha, from which
point he was transferred on the LIST
of last December, to the charge of
the Atlantic Department embracing
all territory between the Mississippi
River and the Atlantic seaboard.

WEST VA. TAKES THE LEAD.
The Experiment Station Sends
Prof. Hopkins to Europe
To Seek Information Concerning the In.
sect Pests That are Destroying
Many Thousand Of Acres
Of Valuable Timber.

Much has been published and
scientific men have given much
thought to the subject of preserving
our pine forests from the ravages of
the pestiferous insect that has killed
thousands of acres of it. Last year
DIR. Millspaugh and Prof. Hopkins,
of the West Virginia Experiment
Station took an extended trip through
the center of the State studying the
habits of the little pest and making
investigations that would aid in it's
determination. Their researches are
about to bear fruit. For some time
Prof. Hopkins has been in correspon-
dence with Entomologisss in several
countries of Europe on the subject
and to make further Investigations
he started on Monday to visit the
forests in France, Switzerland, Ger
many and Norway.
To-day he will sail on the steamer
City of New York, going to Liver
pool London and Paris, thence to
Strassburg, and Nelson, Saxony
and thence to Norway.
1t is hoped that Prof. Hopkins may
succeed in his mission and we have
no doubt he will.
This insect pest has destroyed many
thousands of acres of black spruce
and pine in the mountains of this
State and caused the loss of hundreds
of thousands of dollars. The work
of the Experiment Station has &C
complished much in other directions
and will succeed in this. The effort
is an experiment and is attempted
under some difficulties. Several firms
have Joined the Station in it's effort
and have aided financially. In cir
cular just issued explaining the mat
ter DR.. Myers says:
Several of the large lumber compa-
MES, notably the one presided over
by Ex-U. S. Senator j. N Camden
the Cumberland Lumber Company OF
Cumberland, Nd, The Condor Lane
Boom q Lumber Company, of Bretz,
w. Va, and the St. Lawrence Boom
q Manufacturing Co., Ronceverte,
w. Va, indicating their Willingness
to assist financially in conducting
the experiment, the West Virginia
Experiment Station has perfected
arrangements for carrying forward a
large amount of work bearing direct
ly upon the preservation of the for
ests of this State.
THE Station Committee of the
Board of Regents of the w. Va. Uni
versity, at its meeting Aug. IL, made
provision for Mr.. A. D. Hopkins, the
Entomologist of the Station to pro-
coed at once to Europe for the pur-
pose of making Investigations in the
forests of France, Switzerland, Ger
many and Norway concerning the
methods of forest protection prac-
ticed in those countries. 1t is hoped
thereby to discover some means by
which the insect depiedations in our
pine and spruce forests may be
checked.
THE funds of the Station available
for chronological work were not suf-
ficient to enable the Station to carry
forward such an extensive and i'm
portant investigation without the ad-
iitional resources which have been
so generously contributed by these
public spirited citizens Of the State. |"

Republican Nominations.

The Republican convention to
nominate candidate for congress in
the End district met at Terra Alta
on Wednesday. Boss Elkins was
there and as usual had everything
his own way. J. N. Wisner, of Mar.
tinsburg, was nominated without a
contest, no one else wanted the empty
honor. F. B. Rumbarger was nom
mated for district elector. The only
features of the convention worth
mentioning are the speech of Elkins
in which he said the Force bill had
been given up and Elliott's speech in
which the opposite position was ia
ken in regard to that obnoxious
measure.
On Thursday at Grafton the 18th
district senatorial convention nomi-
mated William G. Morley to succeed
himself. This nomination being
equivalent to an election there was q
more spirited contest for it.

If YOU want your local newspaper
to boom your town you should en-
courage said newspaper by dropping
a nickel in the slot now and then to
help them purchase ink and paper.
Besides the devil is to pay every Sat
urday night, and it takes money to
buy bread. Don't cuss your local
newspapers because they do not con-
stantly blow the town, boom your
real estate, and yell themselves
hoarse for your interest, then send
to the city for your printing because
you think you can save few cents.
Don't do it. 1t is right and proper
for newspapers to fight the battles OF

supply them with the sinews of war.

Sol. FRUM recently had very un-
pleasant experience with grair Of
wheat. 1t is true Sol. got away Sith
the wheat but while he was doing SC
the wheat made it exceedingly inter
esting for him. The cause of the fuss
was about as follows: Mr.. Frum is
the agent for several kinds of farm
machinery and among other things
sells threshing machines. A few days
ago he sold one of these fine machines
and of course had to set it up and
start it. The way that machine made
the wheat fly was caution. 1t made
grain fly into one Of his eyes and
it became embedded in the eye bal
making very sore eye. Mr. Frum
went to DR.. Wade on Saturday who
discovered the cause Of the trouble
and removed it. We hope he may
soon entirely recover.
