To the Editor Of the Register

10 the Editor OF the Register.
Permit US to suggest to the sto1lo
makers that they read the fable or
The lark and her young In this lit
tie story we have the truth fully ex-
planned. that if you want thing done.
do it yourself. We do not know what
grievance the stogie makers have. but
no matter what it may be. it would
appear that none should be more com
petent to attend to the matter than
themselves. 1t might not be amiss
TO state that Chamber of Commerce
has no legal status whatever-other
than any other assemblage of persons
might have, and that their sole pur.
pose seems to be to meet and pass res
olutions. which are never seriously
considered by any body. And in a late
instance, not even by themselves.
The courts have justly declared that
the name Wheeling as applied to the
world famed and fragrant stogie, shall
not be used as device for fraudulent
purposes. And should further legal.
process be necessary. we are confidentI
that those directly interested. shouldI
be the ones to take action. For before
the courts, base ball club has as
much official legality as the Chamber
of Commerce. But If all that is need
ed is the passing of a resolution or so,
a chamber of commerce is exactly the
body to apply TO.

CHAMBER OF COM GERCE

Called to Meet in Special Session This
Evening.
This evening the Chamber of Com
merce will meet at its rooms in the
Hub building TO consider several inn
portant matters, among them the prop
osition to have a Merchants Day on
Friday of State Fair week, and also
to consider the matters relating to local
stogie manufacture, which has hereto
fore been explained. The session will
be an important one, and it is hoped
that there will be a large attendance
of the membership, despite the fact
that SO many people are out of town.
The Merchants Day proposition Of it
self should be sufficient TO crowd the
main room, and there is great deal
OF interest in that matter both in and
out of the city.

The ordinance granting additional

meeting, by general agreement.
The bonds of George Criswell, super
visor of road precinct N. l, Triadelphia
district, and of Samuel Moran, consta-
Bile of Webster district were approved.
Reports were received from four of
the district subcommittee appointed
at the last meeting to ascertain the
status of parties receiving county aid,
and they were filed.
A petition was received for the sur
vey and location of a road from the
Warden and Waddels run road to the
Bethany pike, and it was referred to
the Committee on Roads and Bridges
as a committee of viewers.
An ordinance was passed transfer
ring $3.50 from the contingent fund to
the road on the north fork OF Short
creek, where there is bad slip.
David Jupkins was elected road sup
ervisor for district No. Of Triadel-
phia, to fill a vacancy.
The ordinance changing the district
lines between Richland and Triadel-
phia, near Echo Point, and the ordi-
nance changing the line between I'm
ion and Clay districts, at the McCul-
loch street school house, were taken
up and passed notice having been given
of the intention of the Board to act
three months ago. 1t appears that the
line between Richland and Triadelphia
in the Echo Point neighborhood, was
surveyed as far back as 1868, when
practically no one lived in the vicinity.
Since then many residences have been
built and occupied, and the voters al
ways considered they belonged in Tria-
delphia district, voted there, and paid
taxes in that district, where they are
usually higher than in Richland.
Somebody made the discovery that
these people were voting in the wrong
district and the Board was appealed to
and the ordinance making a change
was drawn after a new survey which
changes the line from the Bethany
pike to Edgington'S lane. The trouble
about the line between Clay and Union
from the fact that the Board of Educa-
ton discovered, after the recent coun-
ty gerrymander, that Clay annex
school had been thrown into Union
district, with resulting compli-
cations over appointments, etc. The
ordinance adopted yesterday runs the
district line around the school house
property, throwing it back into Clay
district. No voters are involved in the
change.

Senator Livingston Of Ormsby
county haa introduced a bill author
ling and directing the Board Of
Regents Of the State University to
advertise for furnishing table board
to the students OF the University.
This seems to us to be peculiar sort
Of bill. The students are now
boarded at the dining hall and the
profits are devoted to assisting needy
boys and girls IN getting an educa-
ton. If the boarding of the students
ls letto the lowest bidder, they will
not get as good food as they do now
md the profits will go into the pock-
cts Of the contract or instead of being
used to assist the ambitious boys and
girls TO get al education. It is a bad
scheme and should be killed in it's in
fancy.
