firms that they do not take the trouble to prepare

as whole do not appreciate the material progress which
Mexico has made in years true that our trade

past two years but much of it has been the growth

It may be safely said that if England or Germany

CONTROVERSY OVER STREET.
Over What Is Known as Stephens
Street.

The city is now confronted with a
controversy over the fencing in of
what is supposed to be a street, by
Joseph H. Shaffer.
When the Crawford Wooden Com
pany first started into business here
Mr.. Shaffer was one of committee
of citizens who solicited money for
buying the bulldi and land for the
company. All the necessary money
was raised except about 1915. which,
it is understood, Mr.. Shaffer paid out
of his own pocket and took some adj
ditional land to reimburse him for it.
That land, he saws. included that
portion of ground between Raleigh
and Church streets which is now
known as part of Stephen street;
Mr.. Shaffer asked the corporation
to buy the land, bat the corporation
did not do it and he has now placed
a fence across ii at Church street
The Mayor has ordered HIM to re-
move the fence, but he has not COM
piled and it is understood that he
does not intend to until he receives
money for the ground.

Reported That St3,OO0,000 Has Been
Offered for West virginia Property
Roanoke, Va. Sept 21-West Vir-
ginia is on the eve of one of the big
gest coal deals the United States has
ever seen.
Some time ago the initial move
was made, the purchase of all the
coal operations on Kanawha River.
1t is said ]. P. Morgan was be-
hind it,. and that the drafts for the
purchase money bore his signature.
Hardly had that deal been con-
sumated before it was announced that
the Fiat Top field had been pur.
chased by the same or allied interests
at the fabulous price OF ID goo, 600.
All the New River territory is agog.
Messrs. Chiffon, MacCorkle, and
Chiffon, representing New York
capital, have not for the past week
been quietly at work, and it now
turns out that there is not coal
opera tion on New River on which
there is not d twenty day option of
purchase.
VIII ether or not the purchase will
be made will probably be definitely
settled today, as at that time pres
ent options will expire and 1T
will require deposit OF $50, 900 to
renew.
