COAL FIELDS
Of West Virginia Are Closely Watched by
the GOuId'S.

BY Associated Press.
Cleveland. o., April S.-The Leader
says: The recent effort of the Penn
sylvania railroad to obtain control of
the Wheeling and Lake Erie by buy
ing heavily of the stock in open mar
ket, brings out the fact that the con-
trolling interest in the property is own
ed conformity by Geo. Gould and Col.
Myron n. Herrick. This makes the
Wheeling and Lake Erie an essential
part of the Wabash system, assuring 1t
an entrance into Pittsburg and money
enough to build the much talked of eX
tension into the West Virginia coal
fields. 1t is also known that the
Wheeling and Lake Erie is to be a part
of the southwestern system of the
Gould's, being an extension of the
Wabash and a feeder from the coal
fields which it traverses and the Pitts
burg steel mills and for all the south
western lines which Gould controls.

Which is better, to buy your pianos

one who only represents San Francisco

worth while to pay an additional profit
to city middlemen for the sake of getting
goods which have passed through their
hands, with double freight charges
added to other needless costs? Would
not the best plan be to have all YOUR

ment itself? We think so, and for this
reason import all pianos and organs

THE CORVALLIS GAZETTE.
TUESDAY. MAY IA, 1901.
RESULT OF ORGANIZED EFFJPT

RESULT OF ORGANIZED LFFJRT.
The establishment. OF a free
ferry, beginning with the first Of
May, can be attributed to the
organized effort OF the "Citzens
League" as the FIRST result of Or
ganized effort. The subject was
presented twice before in an inn
perfect way for consideration by
the proper authorities; without
success. Soon after the organi-
zatiou of the league, a SYSTEM
attic plan was begun to obtain to
a petition the names of the prin-
eipal taxpayers of the county
addressed to the court asking
that body to make tie necessary
order and establish the ferry
under tile law. By this effort
364 of the taxpayers signed the
petition who pay about two
thirds of the taxes of the county.
During the process of obtaining
the signatures it was pretty Ger
tainly ascertained that the prin-
cipal part Of the remaining tax
payers could have been obtained,
but lack of time did not permit
sending some one out to invite
them to sign. Upon the strong
invitation suggested by this petit
ton the courb deemed it proper
to establish the free ferry, which
began operations promptly on
the first day of May, This is a
move in the proper way, and the
longer it continues the more
convincing twill be the wisdom
in the desirability of the move
nlent. AS time passes by those
who first opposed it will become
Convinced of the error Of their
first impressions.
II has been the custom for in-
dividuals to operate ferries and
charge toll, which 40 doubt is
the reason why first conclusions
favor containing the same old
custom; but when we quietly
analyze the questions involved
we cannot find a single reason
why people should always be re-
quired to pay toll for crossing a
ferry when bridges are made free.
The same reason which would
require toll to be paid for cross
ing a ferry would equally apply
to make all of the bridges across
every stream toll bridges. It is
proper to notice in this connec-
nection that Commissioner VIM.
Knots filed and caused to be
spread upon record his quite
lengthy objections differing from
the majority of the court as to
the propriety of establishing
the free ferry. The reasons
given by Mr.. Knots, no doubt
satisfactory to himself, are main-
ly fallacious and will not stand
close reasoning. This paper
will take up his reasons from
time to time and show the un-
soundness thereof.
Mr.. Knetts' reasoning seems
to proceed to some degree On the
theory of the town against the
country and that the town by the
free ferry is trying to obtain some
advantage over the country dis
tricts, which is not true in theory
or fact. Men of more liberal ideas
and understanding fortunately
realize that the interest of the
town and country are identical,
and that all sections should work
as one man for the public good
and for the convenience and ad-
vancement of all. And it is we'll
recognized by these of more ex-
tended experience and ebserva-
ton that any efforts to array
country against town and town
against country is not advantage
Gus to the public good.
