In discussing the transportation pro blem
Secretary Obey said: "Until four years
ago the policy of our one railroad was to
discriminate against Fairmont in order to
make up tor the loss in through traffic, and
the struggle BY our operators to secure and
retain q market for the coal and coke
products of this region in the face of preju-
duce and exscting railroad rates was q gal
liant exhibition of pluck and courage
against the most adverse combination Of
hostile influences that ever threatened the
destruction of meritorious business invest
ments and interestA But happily the time
came when wiser m en- were entrusted with
the management of the road; when policy
of building up instead of tearing down the
local interestS was adopted.
"For it will be remembered that although
it is only within two or three years past
that the Fsirmont coal and coke product
has cut much of a figure in the markets of
the country. coal has been mined and

struction and In maintenance, and are only
justified where there IL comparatively
long season Of natural navigation, during
which dams would be an injury rather than
Q benefit, or where the mass of moving sand
is SO great as to make 1t probable that the
pools, if permanent. would rapidly fill up,
thus necessitating constant dredging.
Neither of these conditions holds on the
upper Monongahela, and therefore I have
no hesitation In giving decided prefel-
ence to the method of improving by perma-
nent dams"
All reports of Government officers
favored the extension of slackwster to
Fairmont, and gave good and sufficient
reasons why 1t should be extended. If
these conditions existed 16 years ago, how
much more imperative are the demands for
this improvement to-day? Major Merrill's
last report on this matter was made in 1889,
in which he repeated his former recommen-
dations contemplating the building of six
more dams extending slackwater above
Fairmont
With the certainty of such advantages as
have been described there Is every reason
for the people of Pittsburg to join hands
with those of Fairmont in securing the
necessary connecting links to open up this
wonderful region to the greatest possible
extent. BANCROFT

The Freshman Class Forbidden to Play in
intercollegiate Games.
NEW HAVEN, CONN, Dec 81 - At a
concurrent meeting of the Academic and
Scientific faculties of Yale University this
afternoon, it was voted to prohibit the
Freshman class of the university, number
ing 800, men from taking part in any base
ball intercollegiate game during the coming
season. This action is as punishment for
the disturbances created by a large portion
of the class, at a celebration of the success
full football season at the New Haven opera
house, December 8.
This is the first time such vote has been
announced by the faculty, though classes
have been forbidden from playing a single
game before for similar reasons. The action
of the faculty will deprive the Varsity
nine of some of its most promising material
the coming season. This action is not, how
ever, to be regarded as final in the affair,
the faculty being still considering the case
of the individuals concerned in the disor-
der and the cases will be tried soon.

At the close Of the meeting several men,

One Railroad Really in Sight.
Northward from Fairmont stretches a
branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
about 80 miles, reaching Morgantown, the
present head of navigation on the Monon-
gahela river. From Morgantovn to Union
town, across the State line, is about an
equal distance. A line connecting these
two points is now being constructed, and
then at least one route from Pittsburg to
the interior of West Virginia will be
opened. By way of Uniontown and Con-
nellsville this new line will be Joined to
the Pittsburg division of the Baltimore
and Ohio.
Something over one-third of this road,
from Uniontown to Smithville, is already
built and will be in operation in a few
days. The rest is under contract, and the
communities interested il its completion
should use every effort to bring about the
rapid pushing of the work.

stein cows for the purpose Of selling milk.
He asked various dairymen what price
they were delivering milk at, and was
told twenty cents per gallon. On this
basis, or twenty quarts for q dollar, Mr..
Frederick made contracts, not knowing
that the gallon price was only to large
consumers, and that to families tickets
were sold at the rate Of Is quarts for 81.
Now that Mr.. Frederick has entered the
arena on this basis, be does not propose
to 90 back on it, as his card in this issue
Of The HERALD indicates. What the
other dealers will do to meet this cut has
not as yet been announced.

HLTY VISITORS EXPECTED FEBRUARY 18th.
The Verbs Fair Commissioners and tbe StOtk
Breeders Of Washington will Mest IN
Yakima On That Date.

February 10th promises to be q gala
day for North Yakima, and the hotel
accommodations Of the city will probably
be taxed TO the utmost to care for our
guests. As previously mentioned in The
HERALD, the Washington Worlds Fair
commission will meet here at that time,
and among the important matters to be
determined will DO the choosing Of plans
for the state pavilion at the Worlds fair.
This will bring here many Of the contest
Ing architects, builders and others who
are interested. Another important ques-
ton to be decided is that Of exhibiting
live stock at Chicago and how large pro-
portions this exhibit from Washington is
liable to assume. For this purpose Dr..
N. g. Blalock, president and executive
commissioner Of the Worlds Fair COM
mission, issued call to all stock breed
ers Of the state to meet at North Yakima
on the 18th inst. in conjunction with the
fair commission.
In his printed call DR.. Blalock says I:
Gan breeders will be interested in this,
but there are other matters that will in
tereSt them as much or possibly more
than an exhibit at the Worlds fair. At
this convention 1t is expected that gen.
eral live stock association for the state
will be organized. Every breeder will
appreciate what such an organization can
