Scale Board Product Is Being shipped
over II now Wagons Meet the Cars
Below Dellslow-New Location for a
Saw Mil TO be Taken up Many Men
Employed By the Gowing Concerns.
Mr. A. L. TORY of DelIslow while
in town was asked about the pros
poets Of his company and what they
expected to do on the opening OF the
Blaekhottle TO that place. He stated
that the road was within n mile and
halt of the town up the creek now
and that it is steadily going towards
the mountain
1t would have reached them long
ago had the material been furnished
as fast as required but even with
this handicap good progress has
been made aud the road was com
pletcd far enough To be of benefit al
ready to the scale board people.
They are hauling their stuff down
and loading it on the cars but Il COM
paratively short distance below
Dellslow and soon will be putting it
on the cars for shipment very close
to the mill.
This will result in very great
saving for them in hauling and will
enable them TO get their stuff to-
market with greater celebrity than
they have been able to do ii up to
this time. They are turning out
lots of the product and expect to in
crease the out put shortly.
AS soon as the road gets little
farther along the product Of saw
mill to be established on Pine Run
will be taken out over it. This mill
is to be set up within the next few
weeks and it will begin cutting as
soon as it is ready to go TO. work.
About twenty-five men will be en-
ployed on it and they will cut out
the immense track of timber that is
owned by Mr.. Gowing In that sec.
tion of the mountains.
The location of the mill is. about
one and a half miles above Dellsiow
and it IL near the railroad. All OF
the product until the road is built
to the mill will be hauled down to
meet the cars and loaded at the most
convenient point.
In the different mills OF this con-
Germ there are about seventh five
men employed and they have done
much to help the developments Of the
Deckers Creek Valley They will do
more when the Black bottle il. built
through the mountains and will
help to make the prophecies Of the
development incident on the build
ing of the road become realities.

Hot Elections are Had in the Two Lite
rary SOcieties-WhO were Chosen
The Officers For Next Term Elected
Good Contests Promised-Mr. Morris

contestants to select as well as three
representatives from each one to take
part in the preliminary contest to Sc
lect an orator to represent w. V. u.
in the Intercollegiate meet next
spring.
The elections are usually warm ones
and the ones that were held on Fri
day night were no exceptions. The
Parthenons were worked up to the
highest pitch of excitement and they
had very hot time until about eleven
o'clock.
The tickets put into the field are
thought to be very good ones and
there will be no lack of interest in
the contests when they come off.
The inter collegiate orators are usual
iy able and the preliminary will prob
ably be better than it has been for
several years. The June contests are
always fine and this year they bid fair
to excel those of the past.
For June contestants the Parthe-
mons elected as Declaimer, Miss Dana

TOWN COUNCIL.
The Reason for EIecting "a New Council.


To the New DOMINION:
Your contention that the old Town
Council ought to be reelected in or.
der that they may finish the paving,
is just the reason why whole lot of
people think new council ought to
be elected.
The old council cannot finish the
paving. This they acknowledge.
They have tried it and quit, and de
clared they would not finish it. They
are at loggerheads with the lot own.
! ers of two OF the principal streets,
and after making a contract to pave
one OF them, hauling the material on
it, and actually grading it, they
turned about, and in pet, hauled it
off again at large expense to the
town, declaring TINT it should 90 I'M
paved
refer to Peasants street which is
one of the principal streets of the
town and ought to be paved. Then
there is Walnut street, which in JUS
tice to the lot owners and to the
town, ought to be paved. But that
street also is under condemnation by
the present council and will not be
paved while they are in office. There
fore, j say that in order to complete
the paving which everybody desires,
it is necessary to elect new coun,
ell. To re-elect the old one ia to
elect that two of the principal streets
of the town will 90 unpaved.
This is the exact situation which
the New DOMINION must admit, be-
cause every body knows it to be the
fact. If you want to have the pay
ing finished you will have to get a
new council to do it. If you want it
to remain indefinitely unfinished you
can vote to keep the fellows in office
who have declared that they will not
finish it. "You pays your money
and you takes your choice"
A few days ago the New DOWN.
ION published a proposed ticket
which we don't believe can be bet
tered. They are men who would not
only finish the paving all right, but
they are enterprising and courage
GUS enough to seize upon and make
the most of every opportunity to ad
vance the town. That ticker was:
