A Wonderful Exhibition,

Last evening the Autom atic EXposi
ton opened to crowded house at No. IL
Jefferson street, and will stay for short
season. It is beyond the capabilities of
pen or tongue to give an adequate descrip
ton OF the wonderful entertainment.
To truly appreciate tho unquestioned
merits of these ingenious automatic
works it is absolutely necessary to visit
them, and one brief visit will only whet
your appetite for a second and longer
stay.
Bergmann's "Marvelous Swiss Viii
lage." a conceded perfection of auto
matte science, is the leading attraction.
1t cost the inventor q life of labor, brain
work incompatible and fund of pa
tience rarely inherited by mortal man.
The operation of machinery, the move
ment of worh1ne n, and with all the per-
feet harmony in all its complicated ac-
tions is indeed marvel of mechanis m
unparalleled, the grandest perfection Of
artistic science.
In addition visitors can feast their
eyes upon tho beautiful and artistic
works by Prof. Berger's natural scenery
where ancient, mode IN, oriental and
domestic life in their various periods
and diversified phases is artctically dis
played. Nobody can afford to miss this
grand entertainment.
1t is absolutely intellectual and in
structive III every feature. The press,
the pulpit and the people the world over
have given it their universal indorse-
ment. Ladies accompanied by children
will find better accommodation in the
day time on account of the large crowds
in the evening.

Strong Tastimanx.

The following letter was written to
Mr.. Underhill, who is to read "The
Rivals next Tuesday evening at Cal
vary Baptist Tabernacle under the aus
pices of the Y. M. G. A.: 81 must tell
you that your rendering of The Rivals
here delighted the large audience that
listened to you. A number who have seen
Joseph Jefferson as Bob Acres express
themselves as having had equal en-
loyment in your rendering, and no
higher compliment could be paid YOU.
Very truly, j. w. STURDEvANT

THE IRON MARKET.

The Manufacturers Record publishes
q letter from Mr.. Fred Sloss, of Biz.
mingham, to contradict ELI Perkins's"
interview statement that the reason
Northern iron couldn't compete with
Southern iron was that wages of North.
ern furnace employees we're nearly 100
per cent. more than wages in the Ala
bama district. The average at Carne-
gie's was put at SO and in the Alabama
district at SLIGO. Sloss says that the 80
average at Carnegies takes in large
number of highly skilled mechanics in
departments other than furnace.
In the South, the higher stages of
manufacture are not carried on, but the
pay is S1.7o in the stock house for fur.
mace hands, work which is on par
with that required of Carnegie's "un-
skilled Hungarians," who get $3.50.
Mr.. Sloss says the South's advantages
are its accessible ore, easily mined; it's
cheaply mined coal, which at As and so
cents a ton pays as much to the miner
as Pennsylvania, Dino and Indiana coal
at rs to 05 cents; and the short hauls of
limestone, coal and iron to the furnace,
making it possible TO group the stock
for ton of pig iron for less than the
ore at Pittsbrrg and less than the coke
at Chicago"
However, there is no relief to the
present condition of the iron market.
The weekly output has been reduced
5000 tons per week within sixty days,
but still further reductions are neces-
sary and will have to come to improve
prices. Further curtailment is newt
able. In the meantime Southern fur
mace men had best study economy.

To THE EDITOR OF THE ROANOKE
TIMEs:-The announcement is made
that Democratic primary is to DO held
on May 10th to nominate candidates for
the several city offices, inter ALA, coun.
cilmen and mayor. The writer is a
Democrat, and as such has always voted
with that party, and it is because of this
iact that he claims the right to ask a
few questions, through the medium of
your fair and impartial paper, touching
the administration of tho city govern
ment during tho years that the Demo-
cratic party has held absolute sway.
FIRST. Street improvements have been
gone ahead with so rapidly tina, the re.
suit may make somebody's head swim.
Let us ask what were the estimates Of
the city engineer on the grading of
FRANKLIN road, Campbell street west Of
Grove, Center street west OF tho Dia-
mond Ice Factory, and North jefferson
street, and how did the said estimates
comport with the actual cost? Wewish
some ono would answer this question of
common taxpayer. if there is any city
official who knows. and the question on
the part of common taxpayer does not
seem to the owners Of the city records o
question OF impertinence-if, in other
words, Roanoke citizens have not lost
their right to make such inquiry We
don't want to DO too presumptious
We heard that a committee was APP
pointed to examine the books of tho
engineers Office and that the said COM
mittee reported something to the Coun-
Gil at an executive" (secret) session.
What was the great secret to be kept
from such common people as the tax
W hod H.,
seat in Council? Now, gentlemen, we,
the taxpayers, want no secrets kept from
u.s. Somebody was suspected of being
guilty OF something wrong. If he or
they were not guilty you owo it to them
to be open and above board in your ex.
onerations.
If there is guilt anywhere the publ.
has the same right to the information
that the employer of clerk has to any
information which the clerk possesses
regarding his business affairs. We
would just here say. by way of warning,
that If the gentlemen of Council want
to hold their honored seats, they will
deal more candidly with their constiu-
ents.
We must now come to another inter
esting question. How many sewer
bonds have been sold? II any, where
are the proceeds deposited and what in
terest is the city getting? How much
interest does the city pay on the bonds
sold? We presume the finance com nit
tee, in conjunction with the city treas
urer, can answer this, or perhaps the
city auditor could tell.
We do not believe in threats, so we
will merely indulge in few words of
warning. viz: Unless the proper parties
rise and explain the several matters we
have suggested to them, the Democratic
party will be held responsible. A
change in the political complexion of
the administration, for one or two
terms, could do no harm, but we be-
lieve would work a power of good. Let
us. therefore. drop party lines and vote
this spring for honest and efficient men
of whatever political faith they be- Wo
certainly can make matters no worse
by having few Republicans as watch
dogs. TAXPAYER.

THE GREAT LONG VALLEY,
A Writer in the Caldwell Tribune Speaks
of One of the Great Tributary Valleys
Lying North of Weiser.

Having taken trip to Long
Valley l am anxious to lay before
your readers something that ain
sure will interest them. People in
general, l suppose, think that Long
Valley is place for summer tourists
only, but when / tell you that about
10, 600 bushels of grain was raised
and threshed last fall you will be
constrained to think that the Creator
meant it for other purposes than a
hunting ground. 1t was a beautiful
sight to look from the snow clad
summit over ~into the valley and
behold it dressed in living green
dotted with cultivated farms. l
found the people very enthusiastic
over the prospects of the country
filling. Emigrants are floczing in as
met eight families on the Squaw
creek road destined for the valley.
Stock wintered well, there being
scarcely any loss. Seeding is little
late on account of late spring but
no later than on upper Squaw creek
as they were at it there when l went
through.
l had pleasant stay with &. j.
Smith an old Caldwell resident, He
is county commissioner for Boise
county and is making his influence
felt at the county seat He has
done heroic work for the bridge a,
Marsh and Iretons. During his term
of office and mainly through his
efforts, seven new school districts
have been established in the valley
besides many other improvements,
among which is wagon road to the
BASIN Eight miles are already
completed and the balance will be az
soon as the snow will permit it being
worked. The contract was given X
George Camp who is pushing thu
work to his utmost ability. Thi
road will give the people an cutie
for their produce.
