The speaker took up the subject OF
West Virginia's resources and told
about the wealth underlying the mills OF
this State, simply awaiting solution
of the all-important problem OF trans
portation. All the world wants our
coal. This is a revelation made to the
people of this county within twelve
months. The European supply is CIV
ing out, and Europe needs our COAL VI
all places in the world, West Virginia
and Western Pennsylvania can fill this
want. Biologists say there is coal
enough in the Appalachian fields, at the
rate it Is now being taken out, to last
one hundred years. "We might get II
out faster for the next two or three
hundred years and let prosperity take
care of our posterity."
Creditor Nation.
Mr.. Anderson said he knew OF enc
consignment OF West Virginia coal,
and a half dozen from his own State
shipped to London, and disposed of
there at a greater profit than would
have been made under the highest
American price. America was for
years a debtor nation, but is now
creditor nation, and will continue to
be so. The balance of trade is with
us, and the great volume of it comes
from the upper Ohio valley, and the
center of that is the very spot where
we stand to-day" Mr.. Anderson said
his daily mail contains scores of in
quiries about coal, coming from every
European country.
Wheeling possesses every advantage
which Pittsburg enjoys. Pittsburg
| Chamber of Commerce literature goes
all over the world. Any cooperation
! the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce
can give to Wheeling will be cheerful
ly given. We can be mutually helpful.
Wheeling ought to be represented on
| the National Board of Trade, than
which there is no more influential
body in this country The speaker
closed with best wishes for the Board
of Trade and the community, and he
was loudly applauded, many urging
him to continue.
Hon. c. B. Hart and w. P. Hubbard,
Esq, then spoke briefly, after which
the announcement was made that the
committee on nominations of perma-
nent officers will meet Monday night
at the Chamber of Commerce.
After the meeting many persons
crowded around the desk at which
members of the committee were re-
ceiving subscriptions, and the list was
greatly augmented. The new secre-
tary will also call upon merchants and
others who have not yet subscribed.
1t was after ten o'clock when the
meeting adjourned.

It is reported that the reason the
money is not being paid to the farm
ers who optioned their coal lands last
summer to some Pittsburg parties, that
the object for holding back this money
is to first dispose of the property and
that the NJ. A. Hanna Coal Company
Is very anxious for territory in this sec

secure several thousand acres of this
valuable coal land Whether this is the
cause or not, these men should have
