Men at Present.
Recently this paper had a notice OF
proposed plan of changing the course
of the Buckhaunon River and turning
| its waters down the M0nongahela.
The scheme seems TO be perfectly
feasible one and will do much to OBJ
yiate great drawback to commerce
that has recently developed rapidly.
The water In the river is hardly suf-
tieent for lockages that have 10 be
made now and with the increase In
demand that must shortly be felt 1t
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 eeds of the lower river
and would also render the West Fork
navigable to Weston placing tfty
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
a factor in transportation. The
Buckhannon river, which flows into
the Tygart's Valley Branch, is vast
| ing on rocky torrent q current Of
good water that would be of value If
1t came down the less violent chan
mel OF the Monongahela through Wes-
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 IL 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.
Dongahela 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. IL
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 sufii-
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 be opened to
Weston some day the prosperity of
the Monongahela valley will reach
clear to the center of West Virginia

ing Presents.
Sunday the 22nd inst. was the seth
anniversary of the birth of Geo. NJ
Reay, Esq, the oldest member OF
the M. P. church, and one of the old
est men in Morgantown. And on
Monday evening the members of the
church prepared pleasant surprise
for him.
A handsome carved oak chair, up
holstcred IN leather was placed in
the church, and Mr.. Reay was es-
corted to it and requested to occupy
it tor the evening. After short in
troductory service, Prof. Miller, in a
very happy speech, presented the
chair to Mr.. Reay as an expression
of appreciation and congratulation,
ON the part Of the church. Prof.
Miller's talks are always interesting
and enjoyable, but on this occasion
he was unusually happy. He took
for text, as he said, bud Means,
or the Church of the Best Licks," a
quotation from the Hoosier School
master.
Mr.. Reay's response was eloquent
with tender memories of the fathers
of the church with whom he had
personal acquaintance so years ago.
Mr.. Reay has been a member of this
local church for 65 years, and has
stood firmly for its principles and
doctrines, through many discourag-
ing trials. He has great reason to
rejoice in the present prosperity and
usefulness of the church. His ac-
acknowledgement of this expression of
the church's congratulations, was
beautiful and touching.
After Mr.. Reay had taken his seat
the pastor came forward and ac-
cused him of being guilty of acts in
the church, for which he wasss ad
judged worthy of punishment; and
while the proper punishment for
boy might be switching, the prop
er chastisement for an old man was
a Gaming. He was then presented
with a splendid silver mounted Con-
go wood cane, bearing the following
inscription.

James Clay an attorney from the
southern border of Wayne county was
brought here to-day for surgical at
tention. Clay became involved in a
difficulty with Columbus Allan a ma
tive Of his county during the progress
of a dance last night. Allan pulled a
revolver and fred at Clay, the bullet
penetrating his right eye, making a
dangerous wound. Not withstand
ing Clay's horrible wound, he grappled
with his adversary and wrencning the
revolver away from him, proceeded to
pound his head into jelly.
James or ''Henry" Clay as he was
called while here will be remembered
by many people in Morgantown. He
was law student for year or so and
made Rome howl while he was in the
University. He has been mixed up
in a number of fights since he left

this trip is unsurpassed in any part of

Mr.. Battell, at great expense, has had
the streams adjacent to the Inn and Lake

who are followers of Izaak Walton will

Mr.. Battell will soon have his cabin
on Lincoln mountain connected by tele-
phone with the Inn, and the road from
the base to the cabin will soon be in
such condition that those who wish can
drive to the cabin without difficulty.
No doubt this trip will be one much
sought after by all lovers of mountain
scenery, as the view from the summit of
this mountain is unequalled in the New

of the Adrondacks, Lake Champlain

avowed his purpose of resigniDg rather

More Houses NEEDED.

The REGISTER frequently has called
attention to the "crying need" in Mid
dlebury of new and modern houses for
rental. Here is an illustration of how
the lack of such houses is going to act
directly upon the pocket books of our
merchants. We are informed that be
cause they cannot obtain good houses to
live in, a number of the new marble
mill employees will keep their families In
Brandon in their present homes. That
means purchasing supplies in Brandon
with money earned in Middlebury.
No one having the best interests of
these men at heart will blame them for
their decision, when it is remembered
that with extremely few exceptions the
only houses offered for lease in Middle
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1899-09-01

bury are old and decrept buildings
which because of their age have been
abandoned by their owners for newer
structures. Only by compulsion would
a man risk the health of his family in
such houses.
This is a wholly needless state of af-
fairs. Many of our men Of wealth have
put their money into wildcat western
schemes where it does not bring to them
a faction of the return to be derived from
rentals right here at home Iunder their
personal control. And they stand a
good chance of losing their western in
ivestments to boot. Their money Is
loaned in the west probably for the very
purpose for which it could be used at
home with much more safety-the up
building of towns and cities.
Perhaps the experience of others who
own houses for rent has deferred these
men of wealth from investing in that
way at home. They see several resi-
dences owned by the other men left
WlllOul OCCupdutss anu SouSiuuC tbclc
is no call for houses to rent. They for
get that the reason these houses are left
vacant is because they are unfit for oc-
cupancy by human beings.
Then there is purely. selfish motive
for erecting residences with all the
modern Improvements and Offering them
for rent. When such houses can be had,
people who now live in buildings with
out the modern improvements will
promptly make change for the new
quarters.
No better opening for investment pre-
sents itself today in Middlebury than
putting up cottages of modern design
with modern improvements and offering
them at a reas enable rental. Our mer-
chants who will lose anticipated trade
by the decision of the mill workers to
live in Brandon should use their influence
along this line.
