the Ohio side and From Various
Points in West Virginia.

The leading local event, in Industrial
circles the past week was the an
nouncement through the Register, Sat
urlay morning, of The resignation OF
Superintendent A. B. Carter, of the Bel
laire steel plant From time to time,
since the late unpleasantness there
have been intimations that Mr.. Carter
would retire. but the reports were not
in definite shape until Friday, when
the Register promptly secured the
facts. The news was read yesterday
with great interest by mill men on both
sides Of the river.
There is still some more or less sharp
criticism in labor circles over the strike
settlement but this undoubtedly will
disappear with time.
Tine indications are almost conclu-
sive that Bellaire is to have a new
glass factory. and the probabilities are
decidedly that Wheeling will add sew
eral new industries in a short time
This portion of the Ohio valley is com
ing more and mere into prominence as
a desirable centre for manufacturing,
and it will require but a continuance
Of past efforts to make substantial ad-
ditions to our already long list.
