/ new EHterpFiSes-NeW fhctoTEeS Al
ready ASS edwin now Start on
| New Era OF Prosperity Unless Unex-
| pected Complications Arise.
Morgan district with an over
whelming majority and great enthu-
siasm has voted a subscription of
$45, 900 To the preferred stock of the
Morgantown and Kingwood rail
road. Valley District of Preston
| County will vote on next Saturday,
the 18th inst. with every prospect OF
a similar result The battle of the
ballots has been fought, and as we
all believe in the rule OF the MAORI
ty, we should all acquiesce in the
expression Of the popular will, when
so clearly shown. At every voting
place the majority was largely in ex
cess of the three .fitths required by
law.
The benefits and advantages of
the new railroad will come to us
speedily, If we all lend a helping
hand A few rights of way
remain to be secured. Litigation
should be avoided over these, and
all other matters. The Company
will deal literally and fairly with
our people and the people should be
generous in matters of rights of
way
We all hope to get the best results
out Of the new railroad, even those
who voted against the subscription.
This can be accomplished most
quickly and with least expense by
throwing no obstacles in its way,
and making the labor of those
charged with its construction as lit
tie and as light as possible. The
future of the town grows rosy and
bright with the PROJECT of the
building of this road and the enter
prises dependent upon it,
We have the most positive assur-
ances that the completion OF the first
! eight miles will settle the location OF
two, and in all probability three man
ufacturine plants in Greenmont. The
first will be a tub, bucket and pail
factory, working up the lumber that
will come down from above Dellslow,
the second will be a plant for the man
ufacture of excelsior from bass wood
and other soft woods, and the last
will be glass factory, drawing its
supplies OF sand and lime from above
Dellslow. These three plants will en-
ploy from 100 to 200 men.
Lime kilns will be built and opera
- n n n
stave factories will be required for the
making of barrels for shipping lime,
while large quantities of lime stone
will be quarred and shipped for the
Pittsburg market.
The glass sand quarries will be
opened, the sand crushed, washed and
shipped.
i Lumber and pit props, ties and tel
egraph poles will be gotten out and
Ishipped, as soon as the road is opened
to Dellslow.
All these industries are in sight and
the year 1900 will open up with some
or all OF them in operation, unless I'M
expected obstacles arise.
I Let us all boom the town, with
helping hands, words of encourage
ment, and expressions OF confidence
in ourselves and our magnificent re-
sources and our splendid future, for
getting our differences over the cleo
zion. Let us bring in the new CEN
tury in unison and harmony.

DIADEM DEAL CLOSED.
THE LAST PAYMENT MADE ON
THE 10Th OF DECEMBER.
Rapid Development Since New Owners
Took Charge Thirty-Six Inches of
Ore Carrying a. I So to the Ton.

j. X. Pardee and his associates made
the final payment on the Diadem group
of mines to-day, says the Sumpter
(Oregon) Miner of December Goth, and
the deeds transferring the property will
be signed, sealed and delivered The
purchase price is reported to be $40, 900.
Development work on the Diadem,
which was only commenced few weeks
since, has been rapidly prosecuted
until at this time the main shaft has
reached depth of fifty feet and has
thirty-six inches of ore on the foot wall,
no hanging wall being in sight as yet
This rapid work can be accounted for
from the fact that but little powder had
to be used thus far, the miners working
in soft, decomposed vein matter, easily
gone through with pick and shovel.
The latest values from the ore by
assay gives twenty-five ounces of silver
$l65 Sc in gold, fifteen per cent. lead
and five per cent. copper.
j. r. Pardee, son of J. X. Pardee, is
experimenting the work Articles of
incorporation We're filed yesterday by
Charles S. Warren, j. K. and Joseph r.
Pardee. The amount of the capi-
talization is $1,000,000 with shares
at par value of 81 each, full paid
and non assessable. This capitaliza-
tion requires an amount in revenue
stamps more than equal to the cost of
some of the mineral claims in other
districts not a thousand miles from
Sumpter, upon which corporate rs have
been formed with the usual one million
dollar shares etc.

the company this week Charles S. War
ren, j. K. aud j. r. Pardee were elected
trustees to serve until the next annual
election, the first Thursday in October.

lowing officers Charles S. Warren,

A TALE OF THE BAGGAGE CAR
PREVIOUS FAST TINE ON THE ID.
AND =. BRANCH BEATEN.
The Baggage Car Became Uncoupled at
the Depot Sunday and Ran Twenty
Eight Miles in as Many Minutes.

All previous records for fast runs on
the D. and P. branch between this city
and Drummond were broken last Sun
day, when the distance of twenty-eight
miles was covered in as many minutes
by runaway car.
Business on the branch line is heavy,
and special trips are occasionally made
to bring UP freight that accumulates at
Drummon Such was the case last
Sunday, and the train had just arrived.
The baggage car had been left on
the main track, in front of the depot, as
usual, while the freight cars were being
switched on a side track.
In some manner the car got started
down hill and was making good head
way when the fact was discovered by
the crew. Although a good sprinter,
Bra keman Butler was unable to over
take it, and thirty minutes later the
runaway arrived safely at Drummond.
I he operator at Drummond had been
notified of it's coming; the track was
clear and the railroad men We're on the
lookout. Sooner than it had been ex
pected, the Car hove in sight and all
We're prepared to witness a complete
smashup. but a strong wind blowing
from the west checked the speed of the
runaway, and after being derailed at an
open switch it stopped without having
done any damage.
1t appears that the brakes did not
become entirely unloosened until the
car got we'll down the canyon, as the
fastest time was made from Stone to
Drummond-fourteen miles in ten min
utes. That it did not jump the track,
going at such speed, is remarkable.
The engine started in pursuit of the
runaway car about four minutes be-
hind, but did not reach Drummond un-
til fully half an hour later. About ten
minutes were required to pull the Car
back on the track, and the crew re-
turned to Philipsburg much relieved by
the fortunate termination Of what
might have been a serious mishap.

Nerriment and Dancing by st. Andrews

THE LAST YEAR OF THE CENTURY.
When the Twentieth Century Begins-A
simple Explanation.

When the Twentieth Century BeginsA
simple Explanation.
Only twelve months remain in which
to set in order all the things that be-
long to the expiring century, to the end
of giving it a decent dismissal and to
save the coming century from the handi-
cap of an unfairly large burden of ar
rearage. Th5re has been rather
curious misapprehension in the minds
of many people, says the Review of
Reviews as to the proper location of the
year upon which we are just entering
and even in print there has been good
deal of allusion to the year now ending
as the closing one of the nineteenth
century A half minutes clear think
ing is enough to remove all confusion.
With December 81 we complete the year
1S99-that is to say, we round ont 90 of
the 100 years that are necessary to com
plete full century. We must give the
nineteenth century the 800 days that be-
long to its hundredth and final year be-
fore we begin the year of the twen-
tieth century For some reason the
mathematical faculty usually works far
more keenly in monetary affairs than
elsewhere; and none of the people who
have proposed to allow ninety y-nine years
to go for century would suppose that
a nineteen hundred dollar debt had
been fully met by a tender of 81, 800.
There would remain just one hundred
