Friday Nights Storm About Huntington
Caused Great Loss.
Special to the Register.
Huntington, w. Va, July 24.-The
storm which passed over this section
last night was more severe than at first
reported, and reports of heavy damage
have been pouring in all afternoon.
AS yet no Geographic communication
can be had with points up the n. & w.
and not a word has been received here
to-day regarding the strike situation
up that line. Many washouts are re-
ported and all trains are running late.
Trains on the G. & o. are also greatly
delayed owing to washouts. Hay and
wheat that was stacked was blown
down, and this will result in heavy
loss. Tobacco crops are almost en-
tirely ruined by hailstones, and half
the apples and peaches were threshed
from the trees. o. B. Wiley was
struck by hailstone, cutting a big
cash in his head, which bled profusely.
The rainfall last night was two and
one-eighth inches and all streams are
rising rapidly.

Experiment station Up North.
Washington, July 24.-Secretary OF
Agriculture Wilson believes that Con-
gress at its next session will authorize
the establishment of an agricultural ex-
pertinent station in Alaska. He said
to-day that he had no doubt the people
in some parts of Alaska would be able
to produce their own vegetables and to
some extent the cereals they will need.
The hardy class of animals he said,
also could be grown there. The cattle
from the mountains of Scotland, he be-
lieved, could be raised successfully in
Alaska. but so far as is known now the
mining regions in the vicinity Of the
head waters of the Yukon river are
about thousand miles away from any
part of Alaska in which agriculture
could be successfully pursued.

misrepresentation exists as to the effect
of the changes made in the consular

the unofficial fees, but it is said that
in no case will the fees on invoices in
Great Britain be reimposed. as has
been alleged. The changes have been
made by Mr.. Chiffon. chief of the con-

reports he had made from time to
time to the department while travelling

places.

than 10 20 to work and finish laying the
line. That day the men had only taken
a few minutes to eat at noon and they
were entitled to the rest, but despite this
they uttered no protest and went to work
when the Infatuated superintendent told
them. The foreman of the gang knowing
he would be called for an explanation of
why the men were found idle at such a
time on such an important piece of work.
at once made out report of the full
proceedings and sent 1t in to the general
office, where the matter was taken up and
completely Investigated, with the result
that the fresh superintendent was dis
missed and the humane foreman was
placed in his position in less than two
weeks afterwards.
The whole object in writing the article
has been to bring the facts mentioned
above to the attention Of those who are
now suffering from the effect of the
strikes which are in vogue in all parts OF
the country and to show them where and
how a great, in fact. the greatest corpor-
alton in the world. gets away from these
perplexing obstacles in the channel OF
business, and to show how nicely the
great trust with its family of more than
half a million bread winners gets along
without the least friction.
