FAIRMONT, w. Va, Aug. 20.-The
coal and coke business in the Fairmont
district has been on the decline for
several weeks and it has fallen to q
point that has, no doubt, surprised tho
operators. The cause of which, as a
matter of course, is the closing down
of factories, etc., during the heated
months. The usual number of miners
are kept on the list, with additional
ones employed occasionally, and SO
great is the force of hands for the
amount of work to do that at great
many of the mines in this region
miners are not able to get more than
three days work in the week. How
ever, there is no grumbling on the
part of the miner OF the idle days each
week from the fact that they have
never before experienced as steady en-
ployment as what they have received
during the past year.

while there but little demand for coal
and coke. It is believed that the trade
will begin to llven beginning with next
month and gradually increase until it
reaches a point in a few months that
was never before experienced in this
district About three months ago, be-
fore the trade took downward course,
as many as four hundred cars per day
were mined and sent out of this re-
gion. Not more than one-half that
amount is going out at the present
time.

SARATOGA, Wyoming August 90
Forest fires continue to spread in the
mountains between Battle Lake and
Grand Encampment. Those towns and
the numerous mining and sheep camps
are threatened with destruction. Herd
ers were forced to drive their flocks
high up in -1e mountains, owing to
the scarcity of both feed and water
on the plains below, and it is feare1
that many of these herders have been
surrounded with their flocks by the
flames. The timber is as dry as finder
and burns fiercely. Nothing can check
the progress of the flames except a
heavy rain.
1t is estimated that the loss thus far,
exclusive of the millions of feet OF
fine timber. is over 5000, 900.
Miners have joined the forest rang
ers in the work of fighting the fires
Their combined efforts, however, seem
to be of no avail s]i5pln -7H ffafGd

 9. We have aluminum clays, ochres, fuller's earth, granite, turpentine, bauxite and all the clays used in the ceramic arts.
 10. With such 8 climate and such resources, this state offers exceptional inducements to in dustries of various kinds under almost any circumstances. But when you consider the outside conditions, the advantages are superior to almost any other part of the Union.
 The vast domain of land to our west and northwest and south west must necessarily remain an essential agricultural region. which is filling up with 3 thrifty people more rapidly than any other portion of our Union, thus offering a splendid and rapidly increasing market for all kinds of goods used by an agricultural community right at our door.
 It is mainly due to this condi- tion that every factory which has been started in this city has pros- pered phenomenally. Let me illustrate. A few years ago two mechanics started 8 small fQrni- ture factory here upon the eo-op- erative plan. Now we have five large factories, whose goods are sold as far west as San Francisco and,into the City of Mexico. The largest one says Texas alone de- mands more than it has capital to produce.
 The Republican national con- vention of 1896 advertised for 13,- 500 chairs to be delivered within sixty days. Every large factory of the kind in the United States bid on the contract. Fort Smith factory captured the award, and within sixty days had the chairs all loaded on a train for St. Louis.
 A cotton factory here located alongside of our two cotton mills, handling the seed of 60,000 bales annually, and a thousand miles nearer the best market than those of the eastern seaboard. could not but prove profitable.

in which the preacher had assert
 ed that all the writers on Manila papers printed in the English language are men who could not earn a living at home, and that they had bad records behind them. The parson accused them of not knowing anything about newspaper work, that they live bad lives and attack honest peo- pie in the wish of blackmail and that they all attack the church. The Times editor starts off his answer to the charge by saying that he does not blame the chap lain for his utterances as he spoke in accordance with the wishes of his superiors and the mandates of the Holy See, but regrets that the preacher found it necessary to say some things that are not quite true. The Times goes on to say that English writers on Manila papers could almost be counted on the fingers and that while there were some "black sheep" in the flock, they courted investigation of their records. :.
