ADMIRABLE MANAGED
Is the Business Of the Wheeling Steel

LARGE ADDITION TO BE MADE

NESS NEWS.

One of the best managed and most
successful plants in the Ohio Valley
to-day is that of the Wheeling Steel
and Iron Company, which has refused
to join in with any of the combines,
and which is hoeing its own road with
profit to its stockholders and credit to
its management. 1t has not been so
long ago that the stock of this company
was away below par, and two years ago
II was on sale at something like So ur
40 Six months ago ninety was about
were seoffed at in some quarters. To-
day the stock is quoted at 10, with
very few sales owing to the reluctance
of holders to part with it, and predic-
tons are freely made by those COM
petent to judge that the price will go
to 125 before very long. The manage
ment of the company is both conserva-
tive and yet energetic, and the extern
sive plant is in excellent shape. A
large portion of the debt has ben liqui-
dated, and arrangements are being
made to refund the remainder at
much lower rate of interest, thus affect
ing a material saving. 1t is also the
intention of the company to erect an ex-
tensive addition to its plant in Ben
wood, but whether this will be struc-
tural iron works or tube plant ap>
pears to be a little uncertain. 1t is
certain, however, that something in one
direction or the other vii be done. De-
tails from an authoritative quarter are
still lacking, but the Registers infor-
nation is esteemed worthy of credence.

"The improvements will be cOmplet-
ed when you and I are dead and for
gotten" was the rather gloomy view OF
Capt. John Crockard. while discussing
the proposed construction Of dams on
the Ohio river. TO provide slackwater
navigation at all times. ut will be
a Godsend to all the people Of the en-
tire valley" he continued. but II will
come too late. in my opinion. for the
present generation TO enjoy it. If the
dams could be started at once and
completed at the same time, and there
is no reason why it cannot be done,
there would be a wonderful forward
stride in navigation. Capital would
not be so reluctant TO invest in steam
ers, which can be operated only five or
six months in the year. and which out
live their usefulness in from ten to
fifteen years. The upper Ohio would
see floating palaces, capable Of great
speed, such steamers as are not even
thought of now"

Capt. John X Booth, late master of
the steamship Liberty, and a veteran
in the harness, is an indefatigable
worker, and takes a very optimistic
view of life, in spite of his advanced
years. Capt Booth is now engaged In
an effort TO regain the fortune which
he once had and lost. During the war
he owned steamboat property which
he could have disposed of at any time
for 100000, but it was yielding him
such a princely revenue that he de-
cided to hold on to it. On more than
one occasion, he forwarded $4,000 to
his confidential and trusted secretary in
Cincinnati, as the profits upon a sin
Sc trip from that city to New Orleans.
The Secretary was OF a speculative turn
however, and invested his employers
money in stocks and lost. Now Capt,
Booth is located at Ward, Boulder coun-
ty, Colorado, where he owns extensive
gold properties. He writes to friends
in this city to state that his prospects
are most encouraging, and that with
in a year he expects to be very wealthy.

A Parallel.

Itmay not be out of place to call at
teution to the striking similarity be-
tween E. w. Carmack ana I>ham G..
Harris, when no was Carmack's age.
When Isham G. Harris went to
Paris, Tenn, to hang out his law
shingle, he did not possess one whit
more ability than Carmack did
when he left Columbia to embark in
journalism in Nashville. They were
very much alike, however,. Isham
q. Harris was full of energy, and
had ambition. so was Ca"mack.
Harris had dash, and positiveness
that attracted attention and won
friends, and enemies. In this re-
spect, Carmack was the same.
Harris struggled along up to the
break ing out of the war without &C.
complaining anything great. The
war came on and furnished the op-
pOrtunity-and Harris seized it.
Caramck made success as an ed
itorial writer, and Josiah Patterson
gave him the opportunity of his life.
He grasped 1t with both hands and
went to congress. Senator Harris
was lnval to his friends and uncom-
promising with his enemies. Car
mack possesses these characterize
ties to marked degree.-Nashville
