haTbor was secured in order to enable
the ore vessels TO run into the harbor,
thus affording a direct route by the way
Of the c., L. & w. road to Wheeling,
which will cheaper the rate of transport
tation Of that article to this city from
the lake regions.
The two items which will grove of
most interest to local rivermen and
business interests generally are the ap-
preparations for the two movable dams,
No. IS and No. 10. located ct a point
two miles south of B~ellaire. and at
Marietta respectively. The survey last
completed provides for eighteen dams
between %Pittsburg and Marietta, which
will provide a six-foot stage between
these points.
The dams 10 and IS, which are pro-
We'd fer in the bill. will be the sane
as Davis Island dam, No. /, situated
about two and a half miles below Pitts
burg. 1t is known as a Chanoine dam,
and is devised especially for the i'm
provement of the Ohio river. The boats
are locked through these dams. The
locks are 600 feet in length and 10 feet
in width. With the series of dams a
six-foot stage of water would be main
tanned in the river the whole year
round.
Capt. Dovener's idea in selecting dams
Ii ard Is is that wnen the two are
completed it will afford a fair stage of
water at all times between Marietta
and Pittsburg, while had he selected
dams Nos. Z and 8. low water would
result just the same during the low wa
ter eason from Wellsville, O., south.
Without doubt these Improvements
will be beneficial to all business inter-
ests not only in Wheeling and vicinity,
but also in the Ohio Valley generally.

Carry ! message To Garcia
General Garcia Is dead now, but there
are other Garcias.
No man who has e~ndeavored to carry
out an enterprise where many hands
were needed, but has been well night
appalled, at times by the imbecility of
the average mantle inability or un-
willingness to concentrate Oh a thing
and do it. Slipshod assistance, foolish
inattention, dowdy Indifference, and
half-hearted men seem the rule; and no
man succeeds unless by hook or crook,
or threat, he forces or brides other
men to assist him; or mayhap. God in
His goodness performs a miracle and
sends him an Angel or Light for an as
Sistant.
We have recently been hearing much
maudlin sympathy expressed for the
"down-trodden denizen of the sweat
shop" and the homeless wanderer
searching for honest employment" and
with it all often go many hard words
for the men in power.
Nothing is said about the employer
who grows old before his time in a
vain attempt to get frowsy ne'er do
wells to do intelligent work; and his
long patient striving with help that
does nothing but loaf when his back is
turned. In every store and factory
there is a constant wedding out process
going on. The employer is constantly
sending away help" that have shown
their incapacity to further the inter-
ests of the business, and others are be-
ing taken or. No matter how good
times are, this sorting continues; only
if times are hard and work is scarce the
sorting is done finer-but out and for
ever out, the incompetent and the I'M
worthy go. 1t is the survival of the fit
test. Self-interest prompts every en-
ployer to keep the best-those who can
carry a message to Garcia.
| know one man of really brilliant
parts who has net the ability to man
age a business of his own, and yet who
is absolutely worthless to any n else,
because he carries with him constantly
the insane suspicion that his employer
is depressing or intending to Cypress
him. He cannot give orders, and he
will not receive them. Should a mes
sage be given to take to Garcia, his an
swer would probably be, Take it your
self"
Tonight this man walks the streets
looking for work, the wind whistling
through his threadbare coat. No one
who knows him dare employ him, for
he is a regular firebrand of discomfort.
He is impervious to reason, and the
only thing that can impress him is the
toe of a ~thick-soled No. 9 boot.
Of course, l know that one so morally
deformed is no less to be pitied than a
physical cripple; but in our plying let
us drop a tear, too, for the men who
are striving to carry on a great enter
prise, whose working hours are not
limited by the whistle and whose hair
is fast turning white through the strug-
gle to hold in line dowdy Indifference,
slipshod imbecility and the heartless
inbratitude which but for their enter
prise, would be both hungry and home
less.

-
AS usual after the midsummer holi-
day, there are rumors in circulation
concerning changes in the circuit OF
cities comprising the Interstate
League. To begin with, Columbus
could not hold up in the WesteS
League, and there has been talk, to
which Frank Torreyson has been a
party, of transferring the Grand Rap
Ids team to Columbus. The quality OF
ball which Torreyson furnishes is
about what he is willing to pay for,
and it does not satisfy Grand Rapids
and is hurting the attendance. ColuIn-
bus would be a much better city than
Grand Rapids, as it would make a more
compact circuit and would mean a saw
ing in railroad expenses. The change
will hardly be made, however, as
Columbus people will not stand for
cheap base ball in the Interstate, when
they refuse to patronize a fair club in
the Western. In a word, Columbus is
The city, but Torreyson is not the man.
Springfield has also applied for a
berth in the Interstate, but there was
too much Springfield last season. That
town will not support a winning club.
yet it has a small coterie of dead
game sports who deserve infinite credit
for the manner in which they met de-
ficiencies.
1t is not generally known, perhaps,
that President Howell had virtually
concluded arrangements for the trans
fer of the Wheeling club, when he re-
ceived the welcome news of the settle
ment # the street railway strike. He
had practically closed a deal for the
transfer of the games on July l to New
Castle. The city he had selected as
the home for the club has not been re-
vealed.
1t is also not generally known that
"Pop" Lyle secured backing, and
made a proposition to Howell for the
transfer of the club to him, and that
President Howell made a counter pro-
position which Lyle considered out Of
all reason and declined. Lyle and
Howell did not sever relations on the
best terms, ard the former alleges that
fines which were imposed by the Pre-
sident had a great deal to do with the
~listless work of the players. Babb. for
example, is said to have been fined $50
for making two errors, and was paid
off the next day. Anent tbs matter,
the Fort Wayne Sentinel says:
Pop Lytle, of the Mansfield team,
now here, still carries a check Cor
$24.67, payment in full to Charles
Babb, of the Fort Wayne club. The
check is signed by President Howell,
of the Wheeling club. Babb refuses
to accept it. He was fined $50 by the
president for making two errors, and,
as the money was deducted, he will
fight the case before the league presi-
dent. Lyle says he does not blame
Babb for not accepting the check.
