Not a Question of seniority.

Boston, Aug. 13-When asked why
Sampson was jumped over the heads of
all the rear admirals and commodores.
and placed in command of the North
Atlantic squadron, Secretary Long said:
cit is not seniority that controls selec-
ton in times of war. If It did,I should
not wish to take the responsibility Of
being Secretary of the Navy. The ques-
ton at such times Is who. under all cir
cumstances. is regarded as the fl:
man for the work. For example. Ad-
miral Dewey was appointed to the COM
mand of the Asiatic squadron last De-
cember. when clouds were gathering, al
though there were a dozen officers his
senior. one or two Of whom desired that
place. And yet have never heard any
one say that there was any injustice
done, or any mistake made in that selec-
tion."

1t is not generally known. but is never
theless true that with botanists there is
no tract Of country in the world so IA
nous for its growth of wild flowers as
that between Washington and Glen Echo.
While the average pleasure-seeker is not
enough of a scientist to care much about
this fact he is sufficiently a lover of
beauty to note with enthusiasm the va
ried hues Of the carpet spread at his feet
and to stop occasionally at the end Of
the line in an effort to pluck for himself
a buttonhole bouquet. This, with the
majesty of the green-clad hills. the charm
of the river and the beauty of the country
through which the cars go, makes trip
on the Washington and Great Falls road
one OF rare pleasure. At this time of the
year, when the heat has driven every
other form of amusement out of vogue.
the journey is especially delightful and
those who appreciate nature in her most
beautiful form should not neglect to try
it before the summer has gone.

Modelling After Is,

The system of water works pro-
posed for Elkins is very similar to
the system at Morgantown, w. Va,
where they have a gravity line, with
a pumping engine connected with it,
which is used for from one to two
months during the dry part of the
year when the gravity supply is
short, at all other times the gravity
supply is abundant. We are relia-
bly, Informed that this plan works
very satisfactorily and is much more
economical than pumping for the
entire year. This, as we have said
befoce is practically the same plan
as endorsed by our council. Prof.
L. G. White spoke highly of the
Morgantown plan, which to those
who know Prof. White is sufficient
guarantee as to it's being all rislt.
We had better pump for one month
than for whole year. No one will
question the ability of Chenoweth's
creek to furnish sufficient supply for
eleven months of the year.--Tygarts
VALLEY Ne,os, Elkans.

Mingo is Improving.

For about the first time since the
county was established, the criminal
docket OF the Circuit Court Of Mingo
county is now almost clear. Judge
Doolittle Of Huntington, has just
completed two weeks term of court
at Williamson, and strange to say,
no one was sent to the penitentiary.
Three murder cases were tried and
numerous felony cases, but there
were no felony convictions. The
fact that the docket is almost cleared
is all the more note worthy, because
it has been but short time since
the number of cases on the criminal
docket was almost equal to the num-
Der of voters in the county, fact
widely commented upon at the time.
There must be some civiiizing in
fuence at work upon the tough ele-
ment of Mingo's population to bring
about such change.

Wilson Of Cheat Haven, the 'sright Of

road, has been at work securing rights
of way for that road up the south
side Of the Cheat river and reports he
is making good progress.
Saturday three boys, aged from ten
to twelve years, took walk from
Morgantown down the railroad to
this place, reaching here late In the
afternoon. Ed Donley, student Of
the West Virginia University, was

Owen, met the boys and knew them,
bought tickets for them and sent them
home on the evening B. & O. train.
w. S. Dewing was here last week
looking after his lumber interests,
and went from here to his timber
lands up Cheat river. At present
Dewing & Sons have complete lum-
Der camp on cheat, few miles above
the mouth OF Sandy creek, with Jack
Steel in command Of some forty-seven
men and ten teams, all busy cutting
and banking saw-logs. The disci-
pline in this camp, exercised by Cap
tain Steel, is said to excel that Of the
regular army, and the table equals
the best hotels Of any place.
The gas well on the James K. Stur-
giss farm on the west bank OF the Mon
ongahela river came near being fired
Saturday evening. The packing In a
union in the line near the well blew
out allowing the gas to escape, and
it took fire from gas jet fire used to
heat the gas before it crosses the
river. For time it made danger
Gus fire. and great loss was only avert
ed by A. S. Maple promptly cutting
the line in two places between the
fire and the river and between fire and
well. A defective valve prevented
shutting of the gas at the we'll.
