Time attending the Associations OF
Agricultural Colleges and Experiment
Stations, and have joined them in
their excursions through California.
These excursions have been conduc-
ted on large scare by the Board OF
Trade, Railroads and citizens OF the
State. They have given us about
1900 miles of travel through the State
visiting the most important centers
OF Agricultural development in the
central and northern parts OF the
State. Wehave passed through wheat
fields thousands OF acres in extent,
through orange, peach, plum, olive,
apricot. and almond orchards OF vast
extent, and through vineyards for the
production of wine or of raisins, ap.
parently large enough to supply good
part of the world with all OF the pro-
ducts of this character that may be
required. They have taken us To
their sugar beet factories, to their
asparagus farms, to their creameries,
their canneries, and their wine cellars

RACK In TO OLD HANDS.
Repair Ship Vulcan is Repurchased b,
Her Old Owners-What She was.

The Merchants and Marine Trans
portation company of Baltimore has
bought the Repair Ship Vulcan from
the NAVY Department. The price
paid was $175, 900 and it is stated
that the price asked by the govern
ment was 100000 but it is evident
ly 100000. The vessel will be given
the old name and placed in the old
trade.
The Chatham was purchased by
the National Government in May,
1898, for $350,000 She was taken to
the Boston navy yard and equipped
as repair ship, the first in any
navy of the world. SO complete was
her equipment that when accompa-
nying fleet she could repair almost
any damage that the machinery of a
ship could sustain Her general use

He Promptly Accepts the Pr0hered
Honor Will take Charge of the Of
flee on August First Sketch Of the
Gentleman Named-No Immediate
Change in Plans Contemplated.
Elibu Root of New York has for
mally accepted the tender of the
place as secretary of war. The ten
der of the appointment had been
made but very short time when
the acceptance was received. The
appointment gives great deal of
pleasure to Alger which may be a
bad sign for the new man to start
with
No change has been made in the
plans of the retiring secretary ac-
cording to the telegraphic reports
that have been sent out from Wash
ington in regard to it.
The matter has been closed up
much more rapidly than expected
and the new man will have a very
hard task before him. He is not
abashed at this however and will go
into the duties of the office in a few
days. A conference will be held
with the President the last of the
week Alger leaves the office on
August first.
Elihu Root was born February
18th 1916, at Clinton, Oneida coun-
ty, New York. He graduated from
Hamilton College in the class of '64
and entered the New York Univer-
sity Law School. He was admitted
to the bar in 1867, since which time
he has been in the active practice of
his profession in New York.
He was u. S attorney for the
southern district of New York from
March, 1888, to July, 1885. He was

Kingwood Being Considered Matter
for Depot for Seneca is Being Agi-
tated-Stafion Established but no
Further Move Taken.
A party Of railroad people were here
on Friday looking after railroad in
terests aud attending to several things
in relation to the f. M. & =. and the
Morgantown and Kingwood. In the
party were ID. Willard assistant gen
eral manager, George Fl. Campbell as
sistant general superintendent, John
Barron superintendent Of the Pitts
burg division and I. G. Manning
division engineer.
They were looking into The cunnee-
tion of the two roads but what they
decided in this direction was not
made public. The connection will be
an interesting matter for settlement
and it will take lots Of figuring to get
everything adjusted just right.
They were looking into the
matter Of depot for Seneca. The
officials granted the request OF the
town down the river for station do
ing this some time ago but as yet the
trains are not ordered to stop there
and they will not make tia regular
stopping place until a depot is put in.
The railroad has asked the people
down there to put up the money re-
quired to build the station. The
grounds for this are that the company
will not get an extra cent of revenue for

ney Mentioned in Connection with
the Opposition Tickct-LiyeIy Rack
ct About State Senatorship.
The Wheeling News OF recent
date has the following interesting
gossip about politics in this yicin-
ity:
This is a rather quiet season for
politics, but occasionally a little
talk along that line is heard. Tay
Tor county wants to have something
to say about how the offices are go
ing next time, and it will say it
hard The leading candidate to be
advanced is Judge John Homer
Holt. Judge Holt was candidate
the first time Dayton was nomina-
ted and received the solid support
OF his district, but Withdrew in the
interests Of harmony. During the
campaign no one was more active in
Mr. Dayton's behalf than the judge.
His friends urged him to make
the fight for the nomination last
year, but he did not believe that it
would be proper for him to do so in
view of Mr.. Dayton's having APP
pointed his brother postmaster of
Grafton The judge has not yet
signilied his willingness to become
candidate next year, but his
friends are already laying the plans
for his nomination. If he decides
TO 90 into it he will be the ineum-
bent's most powerful antagonist. II
Mr. Dayton decline to be nominated
Judge Holt will have little trouble
getting the nomination.
The statement on the democratic
side is crystallizing in favor Of
Owen S. Mckinney, of Fairmont
The deGlocia...e poilIie,s..ss. here say
that Mckinney would like to have
the nomination and this is his OPP
portunity. Mr.. Mckinney has re
peatedly said he would not go after
any thing which would tend to in
terfere with Col. Clarence Smiths
chances for the goverporship, but as
Col. Smiths health is very poor it
is not likely that he will be a caudi
date for anything. This will leave
the field clear for Mr.. Mckinney.
There will be a vigorous fight in
the next republican senatorial con
vention over which county will
get the nominee. The district is
made up Of Preston, Monongalia
and TAYLOR counties. 1t is the
custom 10 this state that counties al
ternate in selecting the candidates.
Last year it was PYeston's turn and
DR. Lanham, of Newburg, was nom
mated Now, DR. Lanham has NOV
ed out of Preston county into lay
lor and Preston claims the right to
the next nominee. Taylor county
says that Preston had the nominee
last time and the removal of DR..
Lanham has nothing to do with it,
but will claim the right to make the
nomination as it is its turn. The
war promises to be merry and may
result in split.

KATIE KINCAID
Dangerously Hurt by Horse-Her
Ribs Broken and Hurt Otherwise.

Yesterday evening Miss Katie Kin
caid daughter of Mrs. John Kincaid
Of South Morgantown met with an
accident that was serious enough
though fortunately not fatal. She
was driving from the street at Reay's
toward her home and when going
down the grade by the Philips houses
the holding back strap came loose and
the horse began to kick. Katie was
jerked out across a wheel and the
buggy passed over her tearing several
ribs loose on her left side and bruis-
ing her terribly. Glenn Sturm lit
tie boy about four years old was in
the buggy and was thrown out and
dragged about fifty feet but escaped
with number of severe bruises. DIR.
Gibbons was called who made Katie
as comfortable as possible but it will
be some time before she is we'll again.
1t was a narrow escape and her
friends will regret to hear of her mis-
hap.

A b White was in Wheeling Tues
day, presumably on revenue bust
ness. He told the Register reporter
about the increased collections in
his office since the war tax went in
to effect Then the Register adds:
Relative to political matters Mr..
White is rather reticent concerning
his reported candidacy for the Re-
publican gubernatorial nomination.
A very serious complication has
arisen through the friendship of
General Geo. w. Curtin and Mr..
White for each other. Each an
nounces that he will withdraw in
the interest of the other, and they
are tossing boquets in very reclx-
less fashion. 1t may yet come to
the point of drawing straws to as
certain which one will make the
