TO BE MARRIED,

rage.
Henry NJ Leps came home for
more than the pleasures incident to
the festive season which is approach
ing. He was attracted by another
and greater inducement. He has
quietly arranged to come back and
claim one of the daughters of Graf
ton as his wife. The marriage is to
take place some time about Christ
mas but the time has not yet been
announced. 1t has been kept very
quiet.
However it was bound to get out
and it came out through a friend to
whom the facts in the case were i'm
parted. Miss Mary Jenkins is the
lady who is to become the bride.
She is very well and favorably
known in Morgantown. She has been
florist at Grafton for some time.
Mr.. Leps is one of the best known
Universitylgraduates. He played full
back on the team for several years
and was after his graduation in the
navy going to Manila with the rank
of ensign. Since his discharge from
the service he has been engaged in
engineering work in Florida.
We extend our congratulations
and best wishes to the young people
in advance and wish them all pos
sible happiness and prosperity.

Immense Sum Wanted TO Fix up The
Old Locks aud Dams Below Here
Uncle sam Gets bit on His Bargain
Congressman Dayton Should Stir up
the Local Work.
A joint resolution has been offered
in the House by Representative Ache
son of Pennsylvania authorizing the
Secretary Of War to prepare plans and
specifications for the enlargement and
and improvement of Locks No. |, ,,
3, 4, 5, and I in the Monongahela riv-
er, and TO make contracts for the inn
proyements in accordance with the
recommendation of Major Charles E.
Powell. In order that the work may
begin as soon as the resolution is
adopted an appropriation of 800, 600
to be Immediately available is made
by the resolution.
An important part of the resolu
tion is that the work shall be done
under the continuous contract system
which win enable Major Powell TO
proceed to the completion of the pro.
ject even if Congress at one session or
a dozen sessions fails TO make appro-
priations for the work.
The accommodation OF Major Powell
which the resolution says shall be fol-
lowed, estimates that the work will
cost 81, $40, 707.67. La the last river
and harDor bill there was an appropri-
alton of $1S5, $50 so that if the con-
tinuous contract system is authorized
the limit of future expenditures will
be placed at 81, $50, 241. The money
allowed last year is being expended on
Locks Nos. ] and which according
to the lines established recently are

''IU is foolish said Mr.. Acheson,
''to improve the Monongahela by
piecemeal. The approximately T.,

nually carried on that river warrant
liberal policy. My idea is that If the
coal men and others interested in the
river trade will lend their aid, as men
interested in the Allegheny are doing

the Speaker, Congressman Dayton of

of which were for the relief of citizens
of his district and one was to divide
this State into two Federal Judicial
Districts. Well done for Mr.. Dayton.
He could also crafty great many

gahela Valley il he would start ira
Ger to ascertain what has become Of
the appropriation for the improvement
of the upper Monongahela river and
why SO little has been done on those
Improvements. This is decidedly
more a question of business than of
politics.

1t is understood that the engineers
in charge will do what they can to
make the work go faster than it went
this year on the river above here.
There has been more delay than nee
essary and the people who are inter
ested are getting restless.
1t would seem from the bill that
has been introduced by the Pennsyl
vania man that Uncle Sam paid more
for the property Of the Monongahela ma
vigation company than it was worth.
The price paid was thought to be high
at the time and subsequent events
have shown that this Judgment was
correct.

The American Tin Plate company
is said to have already projected plans
for the concentration of some of its
plants in the Pittshurg district, says
the Times. 1t is probable that the
Monongahela and Star plants will be
dismantled and one large plant con-
tanning about 30 mills erected. The
company officials are known to have
been looking after site for such a
large plant. The officials, have so
far been looking at property in the
Monongahela valley and only last
week remained all day at Monessen,
1t is expected that about 1000 men
will be employed. at the concentrated
plant.
The tin plate combine some time
ago closed down its Star and Monon-
gahela plants, as was exclusively an
nounced at the time by The Times.
An effort was then made to create the
impression that dull season was the
only cause for the shutdown. Con-
tracts had been awarded for the i'm
proyement of both. plants and the
material was on the cars ready for
shipment, when orders were given for
the countermandlng of the contracts.
1t is now stated that the two plants
will be dismantled and the South side
ground on which they stand sold and
the mills concentrated on d 30-acre
strip somewhere near the city. Plans
are said to have been prepared by
Chief Engineer Charles Bray for this
big improvement, although it is not
yet certain that ground has been def
nitely determined upon. Some be-
lieye that outside attempts to get
Neville island ground means the tin
plate combines intention TO go there.
Both the Star and Monongahela
plants are in good shape. but they are
located on valuable ground, and are
crowded for space for extensions. The
Monongahela plant was built in 1898
by the divers and Richard Il. Quay.
The rolling mill portion was put into
operation in 1895. 1t has IA heating
furnaces, 6 annealing furnaces, IA hot
and 10 cold mills It's product is
sheet bars and black plates for tin
ming, and it has an annual capacity
of $4,000 tons. 1t is known as a.
mill plant. 1t is located at South
Fifteenth street. The Timing plant
has weekly capacity of 1900 boxes.
The Star plant formerly belonged to
Macintosh, Hemphill & Co., is loca-
ted at the foot of Twelfth street, and
was built in 1895. 1t has eight dou-

In speaking TO gentleman about
the reported letting of the contract
for the construction of the p. V. & G..
on the west side OF the river he stated
emphatically that it would be built
through to Clarksburg and that it
would be in operation before this time
next year.
He is in position to know what
he is talking about and he states that
there is absolutely no doubt but that
it will be built as he says. The con-
tract has been let and the work will
be rushed.
This is very good news as the ru-
mors that have come out recently
about various consultations of the
B. & o. and the Pennsylvania have
been very disquieting. However the
issuance Of $13, 600, 600 worth of stock
few days ago by the company with
which they are TO extend their sys-
TENS and buy new equipment shows
that they are going TO send their road
somewhere and send it soon.
The intention was expressed in the
meeting to spend the money in the
next year and at the end of the time
the system which is already an i'm
mense one will be even greater than
it Is now.
The main part Of the whole extern
sion to US is the one up the river. In
this we are interested more than in
anything else. 1t cannot come too
soon to suit us. The indications are
now more favorable for its coming
than they have been for long time.
More particulars will probably be
at hand within short time and we
will give them to our readers.
