West Yirglnia,s Future.

The Pittsburg Times editorially
says that West Virginia has the
railroad fever perhaps worse thar
any other state in the Union. North
and south, in nearly every valley
that is not too forbidding, schemes
are laid, and from these many
schemes more or less new work will
come. The Times notes that thirty
six new roads are projected, and
that, if dozen of them materialize
it will make West Virginia an un-
commonly busy section of the Union
for The next score of years, and prob
ably, in that time put the state in a
new class
The Times realizes the great re-
sources of West Virginia and its
wonderful possibilities in the way
of development, when it says that
these new railroads have in sight a
traffic that assures profitable bust
ness for years. West Virginia is
the only present hope of the oil man
it is the state in which the biggest
timber deals are taking place, and
in West Virginia the coal develop
ment is taking systematic and ex-
pansive turn.
"West Virginia has possessed un-
developed wealth, and its presence
was known for many years, but the
question was to get it out Rail
roads hesitated about climbing
mountains simply in the hope of
what freight could be found, when
in other directions easy grades and
greater density of population held
held out inducements. Now, how
ever, it is changed and railroads
are learning that where the freight
is business can be created"
Few states have brighter flu
ture than. this one of many noun
tains," says the Times. West Vir-
ginia appreciates all the more this
tribute. coming, as it does from a
near and we'll wishing neighbor, in
great state whose industrial in
terests are SO similar, to which
West Virginia owes 90 much for
capital which has aided her in the
development of the wealth of re-
sources with which Nature has en-
dowed her.

Money at Big Interest.

A prominent merchant declares
that "the money expended for adver-
Using is the same as il placed on in
terest, says the Philadelphia Record.
This is the proper view to be taken
of advertisements placed in a popular
newspaper. Not only is there valu-
able return resulting from the profits
in wares which may be specified in a
merchants business announcement,
but the additional sales made extend
and more firmly establish the adver-
Users trade. Thus this great medi-
un of communication with the public
enables the tradesman to enlarge his
sphere of operations, and as natural
consequence to assume a more i'm
portant standing in the commercial
world. The returns for merchants
outlay in advertising far exceed in
value the interest that would be re-
ceived on the amount of money so ex-
pended.

GOOD APPOINTMENT.
FairmOnt Index Thinks that Whites
Appointment Was First Class.

The last issue of the Fairmont
Index has the following to say about
a Morgantown man.
We note With pleasure that Lieut..
w. j White, of Morgantown, late
Adjutant of the First West Virginia
Volunteer Regiment, has been given
the position of First Lieutenant OF
ole of the new Volunteer Regiments.
This is as meritorious an appoint
ment as has yet been made. Adju-
tant White was as good an officer
as there was in the late Volunteer
service, we give his appointment in
the volunteer army our fullest en-
dorsement. 1t is said that Senator
Scott secured the place for Adju-
tant White and we assure him that
he deserves full credit for it. These
places are usually left to the Gov
ernors of States but from the shah
by manner in which Governor At
kinson treated White during the
late volunteer service we cannot
think that he had anything to do
with this recent appointment. If
every appointment, recently made,
had been as meritorious as that of
Whites, there would not have been
a murmur of complaint.

TO FINISH IT.
Sentiment Seems to be Unani-
nous on The Subject.

Everyone Wants the Hill on Front
Street Paved Seems Pity to Leave
Block There Complete Circuit Of
Town in Reach Petition on the mat.
ter to be Sent In.
The announcement that Front
street is to be paved from BumDo
Lane to Reeds Alley and that the hill
is to be left unpaved has stirred up a
great many people and they are very
anxious to have the work up the hill
completed making circuit of the
town. The block left is small one
and it seems a pity TO let it go when
IL could be paved without great deal
of money being expended.
At the same time it would necessi-
tate going ia debt to do it and the
council will not do this on their own
yolition. They do not feel justified
in taking the step. However a petit
ton is being prepared to place before
them asking that the step be taken
and the gap closed.
The money has been offered by a
great many people and the town can
get it at any time. They would pay
it back out of the next years revenue
and the thing would be as broad as 1t
is long and would give US the pave
ment without having to wait year
for IL.
Council will take up the matter at
the next meeting if the petition is as
successful as it is expected to be at
present. No one is opposed to doing
it in this way as far as expression OF
opinion has been heard and it is to be
hoped that the link will be attended
to.
With this piece of paving down the
town will be completely surrounded
by paved streets and it will be small
matter to close up the streets and
alleys connecting the circle. At the
same time it would do away with
bad hill and make it much better for
all concerned. Front street from the
University to its extreme lower end
would be fine street If the hill was
finished up.

Besides transferring these they
have to put in three cables which

The manager of the exchange

subscribers will not be subjected to
the slightest delay but that the
change will be made in such way
that they will not know that the
work is going on.
There are now more than two hun

nuisance and the idea is to make
them the least possible.
There are ten men at work and
number of others will come in in
day or so TO help them.

tition for Stable Rejected-Fine pros
poets for Complete Paving Of Town
Work in Different Parts Of the City.
Council held its regular meeting on
Monday night and two matters were
disposed Of The first was the petit
tion for permit to erect stable on
Cherry Alley. This had been sent in
by w. S. Montgomery and it had been
before the city fathers for several
weeks. In response toa number OF
circumstances filed by adjoining prop
erty owners the petition was reject
ed.
1t was ordered that the block on
Front street between Bumbo Lane
and Reeds Alley be paved. The cost
will be about 81, 200 and it will be
paid out of the income for the current
year. This will add quite little to
the paving Of the town during this
year. The contract was given to the
same parties who are doing the rest
Of the work for the town.
After this year there will be more
ibOuCJ dfdiidDit CdtE col lOl
and two or three blocks can be added
each summer. With this progress, in
but short time every street and
alley in the borough will be paved.
This is very satisfactory fact to
everyone who is interested in the
rapid strides toward municipal i'm
provement that are being made here.
A number of other matters were
taken up and discussed but none of
them were Of general interest and
none Of them were finally acted upon.
Municipal Hall is being moved from
its old location to the Morris lot but
the condition of the paving on Wal
nut street has called halt and the
building will remain where it is until
the pavement is laid This will not
be more than week longer.
CURLING has been placed on Walnut
and work has begun on getting Front
street in shape for the additional paw
ing that is to be done on it. A force
of men were put on it on Tuesday
morning to get ready for the work

DISCOVERED OUR COAL.
He Also Found The Oil aud Sunk The
First Well.

DR.. Robert w. HazIett, one of the
Oldest and best known physicians In
Wheeling and the discoverer of coal
and oil in West Virginia, died there
in the seventy second year of his age.
The foundation Of DIR. Hazlett's BUSH
ness career was laid just before the
civil war, and was due to his knowl-
edge of geology. While wandering
in the mountains of what is now West
Virginia in search of health, he as
certained the fact which has since
contributed so largely to the wealth
of the State, that the Appalachian
section was upderlaid with a tremen-
dous wealth of coal. He was the first
to discover oil in our boundaries, and
sank the first successful well at Vol
cano, striking flow OF oil at a depth
OF but forty feet. The doctor also
found peculiar stratum of coal In
Richie county, which attracted much
attention.
