con the West Virginia Central and the
West Virginia and Pittsburg Rail-
roads" said Mr.. Hopkins, at the Nc
Lure last evening, to a Register repor-
ter. there is being hauled daily one
hundred and forty cars Of native hard
lumber from this State. Eighteen
months ago. in Ohio and Pennsylvania,
I could only take orders for about thir-
ty cars of lumber on my trips. This
last trip is in exactly the same territory
and time. but I took orders for sixty
cars Of lumber. or nearly three fourJhs
of a million feet. The Standard Oil
Company use a great deal Of lumber,
the yellow pine kind, and it was stat
ed to me recently that they used 100,-
100000 of feet during the year 1895.
The public generally do not look upon
this concern as being, TO any great eX-
tent consumers of lumber. but these
figures, which are no doubt correct,
show that they use a vast amount OF
lumber each year The mills IN Up
shur. BraXtOn and Webster counties, OF
this State, are turning out about one
half Of million feet of lumber daily
al the present time, and il seems to me
that the way the mills OF the State are
at work and the general stocking up
by merchants and lumber dealers in
this State and Ohio. that there is soon
to be q great deal Of building under
taken"

Mr.. C. H. Pierce, of Louisville, trav-
cling salesman for the old Jones
wholesale liquor house. OF that city.
was at the Windsor last evening, hav-
ing come from Washington, ID. c.. to
Wheeling. He said: Fewer men rep
reSenting LIQUOR concerns drink. even
moderately. than formerly. II is not nee
essary to do this in our business at the
present time, and therefore there is no
motive for those engaged in the bust
ness to use liquor any more than other
classes Of business men. We do not
hear so much. these days. about the
Keely treatment. I think it has re-
solved itself down to the simple fact
of a man having sufficient will power
to keep excessive drinking from doing
him harm, and that this was really all
there was in the whole matter OF the
Keely- treatment

Mr.. L0wt0n represents the Oakland
Vinegar and Pickle Company. of High

do not think modern trusts or combines
have got hold of my line of business
as yet. although they seem TO have
most all kinds of products and goods in
charge In some form. The other day
I learned that trust had been formed
in the peanut business, the out-grOwch
of former unsuccessful attempts TO con-
troll the industry. Most of the green
vegetables used as pickles are raised in
the MiSsi ssippi Valley in this country.
and I do not see why the farmers in
portions of this State could not go into
the business and make fair profit
