Remove the shells from the number
of hard boiled eggs desired, and be-
ginning at the small end, cut the
whites. almost to the base, into fifths

White clothing that has been discol-

There is still considerable discussion
over the action of the Board OF Coun-
ty Commissioners with reference to
the contract for the new Steenrod
bridge, which is still pending. All the
bids and stain sheets have been turn
ed over to County Engineer Robert
Hazleft, who is now making compar-
ative examination of them.
The officials of the Riverside Bridge
Company, located in Martins Ferry,
allege that they have been improperly
treated in the matter of awarding the
contract for this bridge. The letter
written to the Board by N. E. Whit
aker, on behalf of the Riverside Com
pany, fatty stated the situation and
criticized the Board for its action. The
Riverside Company renewed its first
bid upon the bridge, agreeing to fur
nish the additional work at cost.
There appears to be a difference of
opinion among members of the Board
upon the one side, and officials of the
Riverside Company upon the other.
About two months ago the Riverside
Company offered a bid for the con-
struction of the bridge. Figures were
also submitted by Pittsburg Bridge
Company. 1t is contended by the Riv-
erside people that 1t was a regular
competitive bid, but members of the
Board allege that it was simply their
purpose to secure estimates upon the
probable cost of the structure. In sup
port of their position, they allege that
the survey was not actually made I'M
til after the estimates" were proven
Members of the Board further state
that the original crude plans upon
which estimates were asked, called for
a middle span of 100 feet and end
spans of 80 feet each; while under tb>
survey subsequently made, the -liddIe
span is 105 feet, and the enc rpans As
feet each. Subsequent proceedings in
the matter give promise of being very
int sHsting.
The controversy between the Board Of
Commissioners and the Wheeling Iron
and Wire Company, over the bill of the
latter for Improvements to the Jail, is
still pending, and will probably be dis
posed of at the September meeting of
the Board.

The proposed Board of Trade, IN the
event that the plans Of fits promoters
are successfully carried out, will have
an opportunity to Immediately achieve
results which will within a very short
time demonstrate Its value to the city
Of Wheeling. A prominent glass manu-
facturer of Indiana, who was In the
city yesterday, and who desires that
his name be withheld from publica-
ton for personal reasons, intimated
to the Register yesterday that several
glass manufacturers located in the In
diana gas belt, may be induced to
remove to Wheeling, il an intelligent
effort be made.
Il am very glad to observe that
your citizens are encouraging the
Board of Trade project" he said. "1t
Is long step in the right direction,
and l am surprised that it was not
taken long ago. 1t means simply the
application to a community of the
business methods which a wide-awake
merchant would employ. Other cities
have their 'drummers' out, if l may
use such a term, and if there is no
person to tell capital about the adj
vantages of Wheeling it is extremely
likely that it will listen to the plausi-
BILE stories of drummers for more pro-
gressive cities and towns.
Il know what you have in Wheeling.
| know you have cheap fuel and ship
ping facilities which are equal, if not
superior to those of Pittsburg. l say
| know these facts, but there are
scores of men with money anxious to
invest it who are not familiar with
quainted with the facts through ordin-
airy channels. To use a homely ex-
preston Wheeling will have to get
in the push You want representatives
who can go into a mans Office and tell
him in business like manner about
the advantages you offer. Your facili-
ties are superior. Why couldn't you
land him?
"Out in our section we are con-
fronted with the question of expensive
fuel. Glass factories and other in
dustrial plants removed from this Sec
ton to the Indiana and Ohio gas fields
and all went we'll with them so long
as the supply was abundant. Now
the gas is virtually exhausted and it
is only a question OF short time until
the factories will have to move Many
of them have changed management
since they left this section of the Ohio
Valley-most of them in fact-and ii
would be a wise idea to show them
that it would be to their advantage
to locate in Wheeling or vicinity. You
don't need to offer bonuses. The con-
Germ that would come here for a bonus
would go somewhere else for larger
one. Besides, you don't always get
the best companies by this method
and anyhow your cheap fuel and ship
ping facilities are better than any
bonus.
The Indiana glass manufacturers
experimental with crude oil, but il
has resulted very unsatisfactory. The
pipes became clogged and the result is
constant annoyance and expense
Under the most favorable conditions
crude oil as fuel has not proven sue
cessful. Coal costs % cents ton, an
outrageously high figure. Your price
in comparison is merely nominal.
These manufacturers will have Ii
go out of business or find new loca-
tions. Can't Wheeling's progressive
citizens see their opportunity"

That Mr.. Landmesser really intended
