Bad Place.

The "lodfers points, in front of the
post office are menace to the people
going up and down the steps and they
should be removed. This morning a
stranger slipped and fell with his
hand on the points and the member
was badly lacerated. The steps are
usually hard to stand on and the re-
suit will be that some one will be very
badly hurt by falling on the sharp
points on the railing. They should
come off at once before more damage
is done.

GREAT BENEFIT.
What Would be The Result of
a Proposed Plan.

Course OF a River TO be Changed Fifty
Miles Added to Navigation Lower
River Afforded Plenty of Water For
Loekages-ScarcitY Hampers River
Men at Present.
Recently this paper had a notice Of
proposed plan of changing the course
of the Buckhannons2 River and turning
its waters down the Monongahela.
The scheme seems to be perfectly
feasible one and will do much to OBJ
viate great drawback to commerce
that has recently developed rapidly
The water in the river is hardly suf-
flcent for lockages that have to be
made now and with. the increase in
demand that must shortly be felt it
will be source of continual irrita-
tion delay and loss. The plan of
turning the Buckhannon river along a
couple Of creeks into the West Fork
would supply an ample amount of
water for the needs of the lower river
and would also render the West Fork
navigable to Weston placing fifty
miles Of additional waterway at the
convenience Of our produces and stimu-
lating production by means Of the
cheap transportation thus afforded.
Speaking of the proposed plan the
Pittsburg Times says editorally in
commentator of this the following
well founded things:
The Monongahela in West Virginia
is formed by the union of several
branches, most of them flowing down
/ from such mountainous country that
navigation will always be impossible.
But it is proposed to make one branch
factor in transportation. The
Buckhannon river, which flows into
the Tygart's Valley Branch, is vast
ing on rocky torrent current of
good water that would be of value IL
it came down the less violent chan
mel of the Monongahela through Wes-
ton and Clarksburg It is said that
ever since the breaking out of the
Civil war project has been under
consideration TO turn the Buckhannon
river across the country into the up
per Monongahela, thus adding 1t to
the current Of the better stream, and
making the Monongahela, after dams
have been built, navigable to Weston.
Engineering tests can tell whether
the scheme is feasible Perhaps on
the mountain tableland it is. AS to
the benefits, there is no question.
Even now coal mines line the Monon-
gahela far above Fairmont; and above
Weston, and in all the intervening
country, an abundance of natural
products awaits cheap means of get
ting to market. AS navigation is
opened on the upper end of the Mo-
nongahela in Pennsylvania, produc-
tion increases at marvellous rates and
| there is no reason to question that the
same development would follow If the
stream were to be provided with suf-
/ ficient water to carry loaded craft
from the West Virginia tributary. 1t
is sure enough that the West Virginia
valleys are ready for development at
the first moment that capital attacks
| the treasures of the earth with suffi-
cient seriousness, and with the open
! ing of river navigation even to Fair
mont the change will be surprising.
But if the river is to he opened to
Weston some day the prosperity Of
! the Monongahela valley will reach
clear to the center of West Virginia.
