BY EXPERIENCES LESS THRILLING
THAN THOSE OF DAVE AVER,
OF ELK.
SUSPENDED OVER THE RIVER


special to the Register.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, June LA
rash young man named Dave Aver, liv-
ing on Elk river above Big King. had
an experience the other day that he
is not likely to forget in a hurry. He
was out hunting. and. along toward
evening when on his way home, sat
down under a tree to resi-. The tree
grew just at lower side of the
road, which at that place runs along
the side of the mountain a hundred feet
above the river, the descent to which
is almost precipitous. The tree, a stall
wart oak, leans far out over the rivers
rocky bed. Sitting there at the roo:
OF the tree, the young man noticed that
a giant grape vine growing out of the
ground at the foot of the great oak, had
climbed UP to Irvine it's tendrils among
he topmosst branches of the tree, and
that having secured its hold, had ia!iel
away from the body of the tree, and
now swung clear from the ground to
a hundred feet above. He thought what
a delightful swing it would make, if it
were but loose at the lower end, and
wished for something with which to
cut it SO that he might enjoy the sensa-
tion of swinging out over the river, run
ming a hundred feet below. But alas,
he had nothing but his pocket knife
and his gun. His gun-could that be
utilized? Would not a few charges of
shot fired at close range? Why, Of
course. And he would try it.
The First Shot Tore
a great hole through the vine-some
four inches in diameter it was-and
satisfied him that it would take but few
to sever it completely. They we've
quickly fired, and soon there remained
but a few splinters holding the vine
together. These he quickly cut with
his knife, and then ne was ready for
his swing.
Gripping the body Of the vine firmly
he gave himself a good start and swung
out, out; it seemed like he would
never stop going out. And then he
came back with a rush. but not With
the speed he had going out. AS he
came back he enjoyed the anticipated
sensation of going out still further next
time, and figured on now far he could
step back so hat he could gather still
more momentum. Slower and mere
slowly he travelled, and began to feel
with his feet for the ground chat he
thought he was about to reach. He did

Inc universal work holder is a DE
wee manufactured by the Wheeling
Mold & Foundry Co., which will be of
much interest to mold makers, die sink
ers, machinists, silversmiths and tool
makers. 1t is a wise with a universal
adjustment designed to meet the re-
qulrements Of those requiring a wise
that viii enable them to change their
work to any position and hold it firmly
for chipping and hammering. The con-
struction of the wise is such that its
position can be moved quickly without
removing the work. The wise proper
is carried by what is practically a uni
Versal joint upon the upper end of a
standard which can be raised or lower
ed as required. The device is mounted
upon a column provided with table. The
wise can be removed from the stand and
set in a drill press and the work then
adjusted and drilled at any angle. The
face plate is provided with slots for the
purpose of holding extra large work.

To the Editor of the Register.
Can you tell the undersigned what
recourse a householder has when either
telephone, telegraph or electric line
men, or all three. AXE possession OF
the roof OF your house without leave or
license, and hop about IN their spiked
boots, doing infinite damage? Only the
other day had a number of States
broken on my housetop by some of
these workers. The consequence was a
ieaky roof and more or less damage TO
the ceilings and walls, besides much an
noyance. What is to be done with these
vandals? Is there no protection for the
taxpayer from their ruthless and un-

A COFFEE WAR ON.
Arbuckles and the Sugar Trust Offer
ing Rebates to GrOcers.

Arbuckles and the Sugar Trust Offer
ing to Grocers.
NEW YORK, June 1.-The Journal
OF Commerce says:
The Woolson Spice Company, which
is the coffee end OF the American Sugar
Refining Company, has issued ciicu-
lars granting grocers an extra allow
ance OF halt a cent per polpi on all
purchases of Lion brand coiees between
May 18th and July 1st. 1t is supposed
that this extra allowance has something
to do with the Arbuckle circular iss.ed
last July in which it was decided to al
low an extra allowance of halt a CEN
per pound on all increased orders for
Ariosa coffee over the amount taken
the previous season. 1t is understood
that the Woolson people believe the
Arbuckles have been allowing the ex-
ira rebate, increase or no increase.
1t is understood that the Arbuckles
will Immediately follow the Woolson
circular with one of similar purport,
but they have taken their most direct
action in the form of a reduction of 5
points in their sugar prices. The Ma
tional Refinery Immediately followed
with a similar cut but restored prices
within a few minutes. Interesting de-
velopments are expected within the next
few days.
Regarding the situation the Tribune
says Arbuckle Bros. have made a Is
point reduction in refined sugar, bring
ing the price down to $40 a pound. The
report that the Woolson Spice Company
had reduced the price of its package
coffee a half a cent a pound was official
ly denied. The Woolson people and
the Arbuckles recently agreed upon a
uniform rate, and both companies are
still quoting their productions at ten
CENTS a pOund net.

Favor West Virginia Coal.

Manufacturers Record.
In a recent issue of the Manufacture
ers' Record reference was made to a
report of the United States consul at
Messina, Italy, OF the comparative mer-
its OF West Virginia and Welsh coal.
Messrs. Peirce & Becker, of Messina,
extensive vessel owners, have been
making a series of tests of the Poca-
hontas and fuel obtained from the Car
diff mines. The detailed statement of
the firm on the result of the tests is as
follows:
we have been using Pocahontas for
years for our W steamers, which, we
should add, have Howden's forced
draft, and consequently d& bars rather
close together. We shouHEscall it, TAX
ing 1T all round, fully equal to the very
best Cardiff coal that we have ever had
the opportunity of using, and we
would say that on several occasions
we have specially laid ourselves out to
get the very best Cardiff coal, without
sticking at the price, as we are CON
WINGED that the best coal is the cheap
est IN the long run. But we have
found Welsh coal to vary considerably,
the price and the brand being an unre-
llaDle guaranty as to quality and re-
suits, while ~POcahoatas coal, although
1t is only run of mine and not screened
is practically always the same quality.
For our part, We consider it to be. On
the whole, a stronger and cleaner coal
tnan such Welsh. even of the highest
priced brands, as is accessible TO the
general D-blic."

The struggle WV Coal md Oil.


Manufacturers Record.
The first shot fired in the coming
struggle between coal and the Texas
oil as fuel is a marked reduction in
freight rates on Alabama coal to Mo-
bile, New Orleans and other places.
The Louisville & Nashville has reduced
Its rate of SIZE on Mobile on coal for
local consumption to $1.10, and CORE
Eponulng reductions have been made to
other places. Temporarily this may
hurt the railroads. but eventually they
will be in shape to haul coal as cheaply
as the Chesapeake & Ohio does. and
they will be greatly benefited by the
development of business created by
dow cost of fuel. The Texas oil supply
Us a factor with which the world must
o reckon, for the striking of a gusher
twenty miles from Beaumont practical
ly proves that the field is of vast ex-
tent, and that it capable of affecting the
industries not only of this continent,
but of the world. The oil discovery is
an epoch-making event, and it should
be a matter of universal rejoicing
throughout the South that it is in this
section that it has been found. Its in
dluence upon the whole South is beyond
calculation. And the vast coal fields of
China, for which European nations are
playing the worlds greatest game of
diplomacy, may prove to be of less i'm
portance in the question of international
supremacy than this Texas discovery.
but the finding of oil in Texas will
stimulate a search for it all over the
South, and new sources of wealth I'M
dreamed OIL now will be found as a re-
suit of such Investigations.
