down there,and who will live theredf
they only have some conveniences
added to this desirable building
ground.
We have no doubts whatever
about the glass factory being built
here now. The money is all raised,
locations for the factory can be Sc
cured and everything ought to move
along nicely in few days, as soon
as the company can be organized
and legally go to work.
This is only the beginning of
more factories. We believe that if
this plant is a success, as we think
it will be, that there will be no
trouble in getting others here. We
have all the natural advantages that
are to be found in this great Ohio
Valley of ours and we have what no
other city has, namely, money in
abundance. There are over mil
lion and a half dollars lying idle in
our home banks and perhaps as
much more seeking investment. Let
it be demonstrated that manufacture
ing plants will pay good dividends
and be a safe investment and this
money will be invested right here.
Our people have moved slow
in this booming business, but
they have acted wisely and
conservatively. We are here
to stay. The talk about our town
playing out can now cease. Those
who were undecided about the fu-
ture OF our city can now rest at
ease. We are going right along to
improve and build up our city on a
permanent and solid basis, and even
if nc other oil fields are found
near us than we now have we are
still going to have booming city.
We understand the company that
is to build a business block and an
opera house are getting along nicely
with the subscription paper
and now that our glass factory is
an assured fact, we presume the
stock will all be taken up promptly,
for it is going to be safe and good
investment. The future of our city
surely looks bright, much brighter
than it ever has. There will be
work in abundance for all this
spring. Help the boom along all
you can. We are getting there

your doubling friends.

FROM FLORIDA TO ALASKA.
Birds of Plumage and Song Spend Their
Summers In the Arctic Reservation.

John Muir, who has summered and
wintered the Alaskan lands, toward which
all mems eyes and many mems feet are
now turning, says in the January Allan
tic: Nowhere on my travels so far have
seen SO much warm blooded rejoicing life
as in this grand arctic reservation by so
many regarded as desolate. Not only are
there whales in abundance along the
shores, and innumerable seals. walruses
and white bears, but great herds of fat rein
deer on the tundras, and wild sheep, foxes,
bares, JENNINGS, whistling marmots and
birds. Perhaps more birds are born here
than in any other region of equal extent
on the continent Not only do strong
winged hawks, eagles and water fowl, to
whom the length Of the continent Is only
a pleasant excursion, come up here every
summer in great numbers but also many
short winged warblers, thrushes and
finches, to rear their young in safety, re-
enforce the plant bloom with their plum
ago and sweetcn the wilderness with song,
flying all the way, some Of them, from
Florida, Mexico and Central America.
In thus going so far north they are only
going home, for they were born here, and
only 90 south 10 spend the winter months
as New Englanders go to Florida Sweet
voiced troubadours, they sing in orange
groves and vineclad magnolia woods in
winter, in thickets Of dwarf birch and
alder in summer, and sing and chatter
more or less all the way back and forth
keeping the whole country glad. Often.
times in New England, just as the last
snow patches are melting and the sap in
the NAPLES begins to flow, the blessed wan
derers may be heard about orchards and
the edges Of fields, where they have stop

long, knowing they have far to go. Trac-
ing the footsteps Of spring they arrive In

The street to the cemetery will be
macadamized this summer. Nearly
enough money has been subscribed
for this worthy object already, and
whether more is added or not, the
work will be done. Then ali ap-
proaches to our city except the one
from Garry Owen will be in excel
lent shape. And that will be attend
ed to soon, as the good people in that
section will soon be a part of US,
and be taken care of first by having
good paved street clear through
to the Office of the Carter Oil COM

Soon the ranks will begin to
crowd the bleachers, and the um-
pire will toss the ball into the
arena, and the great battle for SD
premacy in our national game will
be inaugurated. IF it will stop
some of the disgusting statements
from would-be pugilistic champi-
ons, and turn the public attention
to the noble and skillful American
sport, we should all rejoice.

A Real Blood Remedy.

With the advent of the new fac
tory, we trust that every person
who owns a foot of land within the
corporation suitable for building
purposes will place it upon the mar
ket. We can not expect to build
a very permanent town upon leased
land. We do not ask our neigh
bors to give their land away, but
we do urge them to put a good
price upon it, and permit the in
coming people a chance to buy it,
and erect thereon permanent home
if they so desire. This one little
drawback seems to be about the
ouly thing now in the way of our
becoming a large manufacturing
city. With that removed, our pro-
gress will be sure and certain. And
we have no doubt but that the fair
sightedness and local patriotism of
Our people will discern this fact,
and act upon it.

THE SPORTS OF LONG AGO.
They Were Substantially the Same a
Those of the Present Day.

They Were Substantially the Same a
Those of the Present Day.
TIE boys and girls of the present day
who become enthusiastic over some new
sport and boast that their particular
"club" has the very "newest thing
OUT would be surprised if they could
discover how closely many of the old
time pastimes resemble our own.
The Eskimos of the frozen north, the
Tupinambras of the Brazilian pampas,
the gamins of the Paris streets, the boys
and girls of London, of Boston and Of
Philadelphia, have one kindred tie-the
love of sport. There is nothing new I'M
der the sun, said the wise man, and es-
pecially is there nothing new in youth
full games.
Archeologists have found dolls in
Egyptian pyramids and on prehistoric
tombs; the name of popular ball club
was found scrawled upon the outer
walls of Pompeiian houses, and one of
the most exciting matches on record
was the one stubbornly fought between
the rival mines of Montezuma, king OF
Mexico, and Nezahual.pilli, 'tzin OF
Tezcuoo.
The boys of ancient Greece and Rome
played at whip top, and quoits, and
baseball, and pitch penny, and blind
mans buff, and hide and seek, and
jackstones, and follow my leader, just
as do the boys of today The girls were
experts at seesaw, and swinging, and
dancing, and grace hoops, and dice
throwing, and ball play, and, in Sparta,
even at running, wrestling and leaping.
Tobogganing is as old as ice and snow,
and when you play at cherry pits you
are only doing what Nero and Commo-
dus and young Themistocles did ages
ago in Rome and in Athens.
So, whatever the age or whatever the
cline, boys and girls of the world have
always lived more for play than for
anything else, and however harsh or
hard their surroundings, however stern
or strict their fathers and their mothers,
they always found and always made
the most of the time for play.
Said critic recently on the subject
of recreation, 1.-THE sports of the day are
fast reducing themselves into SO many
sciences, overweighted with rules and
restrictions that often take tho real play
element from them and make them as
Lnyielding as problem in algebra.
There is no fun in making our sport a
matter of life and death. know grow
ing people who in these days of prize
giving in all manner of games center
their whole desires not on the fun Of
the game, but on the prizes offered.
They really seem as much disappointed
if they do not carry off trophy as if
they had met with some serious loss.
Let us take our fun with jollity or not
at all. Interest is one thing and irrita-
bility is quite another.
We have only to watch the intense
excitement of some Of the amateur play
ers in popular games to realize that the
critic was right about that algebra prob
lem. The complaint of "unfairness" on
one side and of disagreeable triumph
on another seem to be the most notice
able features at the close of the sports
of today, and we cannot help wonder
ing if this was feature o d. the games of
olden times or if in tt is respect the
young people of the present really
have Something now. "-Philadelphi

ing when the peOpIS Vi Ills o1SeilSt
will have an opportunity to again
express themselves for progress.
This time it is in the matter OF
building a railroad through the
county. We have it from most ex-
cellent authority that the money
for this enterprise is all in sight.
The right of way through the coun-
ty has all been secured except three
farms. The survey was completed
last week. Cars and locomotives
will be placed on the road as soon
as one hundred yards of it is graded
and supplied with rails. In fact,
the whole project is in much better
shape than most of our people think
and has every promise of a most
complete success.
The presence of manufacturing
establishments in Our city makes
this road the more imperative tor
the future OF our city. 1t will neces-
sarily make the supply of fuel and
other supplies much cheaper and
more direct, and will open up an
outlet to the east, which we do not
have except by way of one of the
cities along the river. 1t will put
coal and lumber into our midst with
scarcely half the freight that we are
compelled to pay now. 1t will help
the town and help it wonderfully.
The shops will probably be here
The offices will also likely find their
places in Our city. This will bring
a number of new families, and ma
terialIy increase our population,
substantiability and material pros
perity. This will be the transfer
point for most of the freight that
will 60 over the line, necessitating
the employment of quite an addi-
tional force.
1t will give our people an easy
access to the interior of the county
and very shortly to the interior OF
the state. 1t will bring us closer
to our neighbors who know us
principally by the reputation given
by the Parkersburg and Wheeling
papers, and who will become regu-
lar customers at Our counters as
soon as they learn that our mer-
chants can not be equalled in either
of the two towns mentioned in Ell
Their stocks or prices.
In every particular, this road
will be of wonderful benefit to the
town, and in fact to the entire
county.
We are advised that a narrow
guage steam road will be built in
preference to an electric road. This
has many advantages, and we are
glad OF it, although an electric
road would be far ahead of none.
We do not believe that there will
be one vote against this improve
ment when the time comes. We
would be sorry to think that there
is one man in this district who
would put block in front of the
wheels of progress by opposing the
one thing that will make us pos
sessed of better facilities for manu-
featuring establishments than any
other thing we can imagine.
The new road is coming. Help
it along. By winter we will ride to

glass manufacturing establishment
in Sistersville for the manufacture
of all kinus of fancy glassware called
Opaque glass. These gentlemen
who propose to build the plant here
agreed to do so if we would put up
five thousand dollars as loan to
the plant or as stock. The Review
started the subscription paper. and
R. Broadwater and Charley Thistle
kept the paper going, and yesterday
afternoon there was FIVE thous~
and and one hundred dollars
subscribed and others were
going to add their names to
the list and we fear now we will
not be able to accommodate all who
want to Join in pushing the factory
along.
The gentlemen who are going to
build the factory have been notified
to come on and 60 to work and we
expect them here now any time
after today. The preliminary ar
engagements will then be made, the
location selected and in a few days
the company will be ready to open
bids for the building of the factory.
There will be at least sixty new
families that will move into our city
to work in this factory. That
means an addition to our pop
ulation of at least three thousand
new people to buy furniture, hard
ware, clothing, dress goods, hats
and caps, groceries, milk, butter,
eggs and chickens, and it means
work for carpenters, plasters, stone
masons, and, of course, they can
not live without the Oil Review,
so if you will think little you can
readily see that every one is going
to be benefited directly and indi-
rect1y by this new addition to our
city. Another good thing is
that these people are COM
ing here to stay. They
will have permanent work and
will move here to make this their
permanent home.
These new families will require
more school room and the Board of
Education can not do better than to
go to work at once towards making
preparations for new school build
ing down in Garry Owen and if
built should be a building that will
be a credit to Our city and the dis
trict. We can we'll afford to pay
for it and nothing adds so much to
the desirability of a city as plenty
of good schools.
These new people will help our
farmers. They will now have a
better market right at home for all
the vegetables, butter, eggs, milk
and so on that they can raise, and
further, those living in this district
on or near the turnpike can come
to our, city over a fine macadam
road, and the others can come over
the SiStersville, Middlebourne and
Salem narrow gauge railroad. We
will not only soon have a fine home
market tor all kinds OF produce, but
we will also have ways and means
to reach the city at all seasons of
the year. This is the last winter
for impossible roads in Lincoln dis
trict, sure, and we hope through
out the length and breadth of the
county.
One thing we are still short on is
town lots, but we are assured some
lots will be laid out above and be-
low town this spring so it will be
possible to get a building lot here.
And we are still living in hopes that
Garry Owen will be added to our
city limits and paved and made hab-

Actors at Mount Clements.

When an actor says he is going to Mount
Clements to rest for the summer, know
ing smile travels over the face OF the per-
son addressed If he or she ever spent
season at that resort. Actors will be actors
all their lives and nothing can stop them.
Particularly is this the case when lot G..
them get together. A summer at Mount
Clements is usually one season OF theatrical
entertainments-a sort of continuous per-
formance, so to speak. Benefits are gotter
up for almost every known charity, and
members of the actors colony, when not
performing, are studying and rehearsing.
At least half dozen entertainments are
under consideration now, and the project

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use OF making a bet
ter article than your competitor il
you cannot get better price for it2
Ans. there is no difference
in the price the public will buy
only the better, so that while our
profits may be smaller on single
sale they will be much greater in
the aggregate.
How can you get the public to
know your make is the best2
If both articles are brought
prominently before the public both
are certain to be tried and the pub
lie will very quickly pass judg-
ment on them and use only the
better one.
This explains the large sale on
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
The people have been using it for
years and have found that it can
always be depended upon. They
may occasionally take up with
some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims, but are
certain to return to the one RENE
dy that they know to be reliable.

there is nothing equal to Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. For
sale at the Palace drug store.
