LOCKS And DAMS.
SLACkWATER TO BE RAPIDLY
COMPLETED TO FAIRM0NT.
Contracts win Soon Be Let aud the
Work Rushed With All Posi-.
Bile Celerity.

The last Congress made among 9TH
er appropriations, one looking toward
Stacking the river from here to Fair
mont, appropriating money for pre-
liminary surveys and other matters.
The engineers have been engaged fol
some time on these surveys and their
work is now almost completed. All
that remains is to locate finally the
positions of the dams which number
six from here up. While the average
citizen has paid no further attention
to the matter several Of the States
wide awake capitalists have been
watching the course Of affairs with a
great deal of interest. They finally
decided to wait upon the Secretary of
War and urge the immediate location
Of the locks and the letting of the
contracts. The party was composed
Of Senators Faulkner and Elkins, ex-
Gov. Fleming, ex-Commissioner John
w. Mason, State Geologist /. G. White
and Mr.. Stone of this county. They
called on the Secretary of War, Mr.
Lamont and General Craighill, chief
of engineers, last week, and urged
that the contracts for building these
locks be let at once. Secretary La
mont received the delegation most
cordially and assured them of his de-
sire to have the work begun on the
great undertaking at the earliest pos
sible moment. He pointed out, how
ever, that under the general law the
contract for the construction of the
locks and dams could not be let and
work begun until the government had
acquired title to land for sites
for the proposed Improvements. Sur
yeys to ascertain the most desirable
locations for the locks and dams are
now under way but it will take some
time to complete them owing to the
Importance of the undertaking. I'M
til these are completed and the land
secured by the government the con-
tracts under the law cannot be let
but the Secretary assured his visitors
that this should be done before he re-
signed his position on the 4th of
March. This is cheering news to this
section of the Monongahela Valley
and will result in great good to the
entire state. 1t means rapid adj
vancement in values of ali mineral
land contiguous TO the Improvements
and boom in every ayehtie of trade
in this valley. The next few years
will witness vast Improvements and
rapid changes all along the river and
Morgantown will come in for liber-
al share of the manifold benefits to
be derived from it.

The REGENTS MEET.
Appropriations Asked For.
A Considerable Amount Of Business
TRANSACTED.

The Board of Regent met last
week in their regular Fall meeting
and transacted some important bust
ness outside of routine matters. The
meeting was for the purpose of pre-
pairing the biennial report to the leg
islature and such routine matters as
might come up.
Several of the latter involving APP
preparations were laid over as the
funds are very short at present and
will be considered at their next
meeting.
The report to the legislature was
formulated and asks for big in
crease in the running expenses as
well as for several large apprUpris-
tions for Improvements contemplated
Among the Improvements contem-
templated in the report is an add
ton to the University Hall to cost
$4,000.
The original plan of this building,
which failed of completion because
of lack of funds, will be followed,
and the law department will be Civ
en- quarters in the new addition.
The law college hoped for a new
building, but will be satisfied with
the contemplated arrangement, as
the department is badly cramped for
room.
Other improvements desired are
additional grounds for campus and
the identifying of present grounds.
The Legislature will be asked to
appropriate sum sufficient to buy
uniform every two years for each
cadet
A petition from the cadets that
they be allowed to go to Washington
to attend the inauguration, was
refused
Permission was given to the foot
ball team to play against athletic
clubs. All the members of the board
were present except regents Stewart
and Brown.
The Episcopal Hall was placed
under control of the faculty on re-
quest of the Warden. All Hall rules
will be considered as University
rules after endorsement by the fac
ulty. A petition asking that T. G..

made instructor in athletics was re-
fused although representatives Of

NOT DECIDED.
The Fates of Jackson and Walling Be-
fore the Supreme Court.

The appeal of Scott Jackson to the
Court of Appeals of Kentucky was ar.
gued before that body few days ago
and a decision is shortly expected
Walling's case is yet undetermined
The attorneys for Jackson believe that
they will get new trial on account
of the errors of the lower Court, but
the general impression seems to be
that the Court will decide against the
prisoners claim, and that both Jack
son and Walling will be executed be
fore the holidays. Both men are still
in the Covington jail and in good
health. 1t is said that recently Jack.
son has displayed great deal of ner-
vousness over the result of his appeal

To Canton for So,

The excursion from this section
to Canton has been definitely ar
ranged. While the fare will not be
as low as at first reported, it will be
very much lower than conditions
would warrant. There will in all
likelihood be a large crowd go from
here to see one of the men that all
this fuss is about. Local leaders are
doing all they can to make the af
fair success and as it is the inten,
ton to return the same day many
people will doubtless go. Other par
ties from Grafton to Clarksburg and
Fairmont will join the one from here
and another illumination about the
great mineral resources of West Vir,
ginia can be confidently expected

THE entertainment last night for
the benefit of the football team was
very much enjoyed by all present.
The students were conspicuous by
their absence thus showing that they
were not even disposed to help them
selves. Miss Cameron's whistling
solo was the hit of the evening and
she was repeatedly called back by
her enthusiastic admirers.
