A GREAT ENTERPRISE.

At the falls of the Great Kanawha l.,
Industrial enterprise that has in Il
more OF interest than attaches to the
manufacturing of ordinary articles of
commerce. 1t is the Wilson Alumi-
mum works, which are employed in the
reduction of chrome ore and the man
ufacture of ferro-ehromium, which is
utilized in the hardening of the steel of
which armor plates for war vessels are
made.
When the company entered the fer
ro-chromium business it had to deal
with ore so refractory that only cleo
tric heat was practicable for it's reduc-
ton. 1t became necessary, therefore,
to obtain site where current could be
generated at a minimum of cost For
this reason Kanawha Falls was chos-
en-. Here New River. which is above,
rushes over precipice twenty-siy feet
high, and is therefore known as the
Great Kanawha.
The fall makes one of the finest wat
er powers in that region. careful esti-
mates showing that at the lowest
stage 5000 electric horse power can be
developed. Across the river. on the
top of the solid rock forming the falls,
the Wilson company has built a dam,
and on the north side an electric plant
of 1000 horse power has been installed.
The remainder of the power will be de-
veloped by machinery soon to be put in
on the south side of the river.
Al 1t, h., III
horse power current the chrome ore is
reduced to ferro-chromium, or as it is
usually called, ferro-chrome. Chrome
ore is found in many places on the
globe, but there are many qualities OF
it, and this company requires ore that
contains the highest ratio of chrome
and the smallest proportion of iron
The ore used is from Australia and
Asia Minor The Asiatic ore is taken
! from the mines and carried many miles
on the backs of camels to port on the
Black sea. where it is put on ship
/ board and sent to this country, coming
! from the seaside to Kanawha Falls by
rail The metal produced from this
! ore is 10 per cent chromium.
The entire output of the plant Is
contracted to the Carnegie Steel Com
pany and the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany to be used as alloy in hardening
/ the steel for the armor plates which
/ those companies are making for the
United States navy. To supply this
demand the Wilson works will be rur
TO their full capacity during the life o
the Carnegie and Bethlehem contracts
with the government.
Ferro-chrome is also used in making
the proiectiles used in modern warfare
thus appearing on both the offensive
and defensive sides of the conflict.

THE CASE OF MRS. NATION.

If Mrs. Carrie Nation and her enter
prising manager" are after free adver-
Using they certainly have secured 1t.
The wires have carried the story Of
her Wheeling experience from the At
lantic to the Pacific.
To be sure Mrs. Nation, as she eX-
plains, was under contract no. 10
WELD her Ratchet in this city Du- she
carries a tongue that is quite as shat p
as any Ratchet and as apt To smash
things, including the peace. She Is
nothing if not outspoken regarding
what in her view should be done, which
is to smash the liquor traffic, and she
wants to begin with the bafroom mir
rors and bottles.
Mrs. Nation is under contract not
to "smash" on her own account, put
this is what she tells her hearers ought
to be done. and when bowling mob
followed her from saloon to saloon the
other night trying to ineite. her to mis-
chief for their amusement the authoi-
ties concluded IL was ABOUT TIM "
take hand in the proceedings. with
the result that Mrs. Nation who re-
fused TO desist was given com .oit4ble
quarters in Jail. as she declined to re-
tire to her hotel or promise To stop
her visits to saloons.
If Mrs. Nation hopes to become effec-
tive as a refromer in the field she has
invaded. she should lay aside the
hate net and take to the law or the poll
teal forum When she lays down e
general proposition that smashing sa-
looms is not an infraction OF the law
because the Constitution of the United
States guarantees life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness while the saloon
is the enemy of these things, she
takes position, which, however
strong from her sentimental point OF
view will hardly stand in law and it is
the law that Mrs Nation is up again st
when she breaches the doctrine of
violence and incites the smashing OF
anything that is licensed by the law
and has the laws protection.

Fair Play Asked For.

To the Editor of the Register:
Sir:-Carrie Nation was arrested last
night and sent to Jail for-what? en-
tering a saloon and endeavoring to
persuade the owner to quit his nefar-
ious business. A crowd follows and
Mrs. Nation is charged with melting
riot A wonderful stretch OF mag
ination and zeal on the part of our Of
ficials to protect-what? our citizens at
large-or was it to protect our law
abiding CO saloon. The prompt action
OF our officers is in the main commend
able, but why in this case. Was there
any riot threatening our city-was it
at all probable any serious trouble
could arise because a woman warned a
saloon keeper to cease dealing out to
our young men what she sees fit to call
hell broth Is the enswer not to be
found in the fact that women have no
vote and the saloon element must not
be offended. The saloon is constant
violator of the law. Are our police
blind, that they do not know that all
the saloons sell on Sunday as on any
other day, except that their patrons en-
ter by side instead of front door?

STREET RAILWAY DEVELOPMENT.


Apropos to the meeting in New York
of the twentieth annual convention of
the American Street Railway Associa-
ton. the New York World publishes
some interesting figures showing the
growth of American street railways.
In 1880 the total street railway mile
1890 it was S,l23; in 1897 it was 49,
71S: in 1899 the figures were 772S So,
representing a gain in two years al
most equal to the total mileage of
1880.
The roads existing in 1899 were cap
italized at a total of nearly $4,000
900 and were recording gross earnings
at an approximate rate of 10 per cent.
Motive power will be one of the spe-
cial subjects before the convention, and
it is interesting to notice that between
1890 and 1899 the mileage given over
TO electric power increased from Ice
to 1904 Cable power mileage shrank
from 4SS to 3S5 in the same period
with an intermediate boom to $500
and horse power from 5.661 to 6os17.
An interesting and most important
development of the electric railway,
however, is in suburban traffic The
easily constructed trolley now not on
ly connects cities with their suburbs
but with other cities and towns for
considerable distances in many sec
items of the country. The trolley is
enc of the most important aids to mu-
nicipal growth and extension and is in
/ process of rapid development as a
! cheap means of transportation, al
though of course 1t will be many long
day before it supplants the steam rail-
road for long distance travel and traf-
fic if it ever does.

Demand for Uniform Rate.

Business men and oil operate S
along the line of the Ohio River rail-
road are making a demand for a redue-
ton in telegraph rates. While the
Ohio River Railroad was a separate
corporation It demanded and received
double rates for private messages to all
points except Wheeling and Parkers-
burg, and also excated double rates for
press news except to the two points
named. AS a result a ten word mes
sage from Sistersvile. New Martins
vile or st. Marys cost fifty cents to
Pttsburg, while people IN Parkers-
burg or Marietta could send the same
message for twenty-five cents. The
Register has been urged to call atten-
ton to this excessive charge in the in
terests of the business men along the
river. and there is a general hope that
the river district will obtain much
needed relief.
