Prospective Changes.

American Manufacturer.
Further changes N the personnel of
the various constituent companies are
being discussed by those interested in
the United States Steel Corporation
Daniel G. Reid, president of the Amer
lean Tin Plate Company, who has been
elected member of the executive COM
mittee of the steel corporation, will
probably resign from the tin plate com
pany. William T. Graham, now first
vice-president, will probably succeed
him. Percival Roberts, Jr., president
of the American Bridge Company, also
a member of the executive committee
of the steel corporation, is expected to
resign the presidency OF the bridge
company. His successor will likely be
Charles Macdonald, now vice president.
As William Palmer. president OF the
American Steel & Wire Company, and
William Edenborn, of the same con-
Germ, hold important positions in the
steel corporation, their designations
will be necessary Mr.. Palmer will
likely be succeeded by Albert Clifford
The appointment of E. H. Gary to the
Craftsmanship of the steel corporation
will necessitate his resignation from
the Federal Steel Company President
G. G. NcMurtry o., 10 American Sheet
Steel Company, az. -.arles S. Guthrie,
president of the Steel Hoop Company
will likely remain in Office.

One of the finest electric railways in
the country is the Camden Interstate
railway, which operates its lines from
Guyandotte, the eastern suburb of this
city. This runs to Hanging Rock, the
west end of Ironton, O. This line from
this city passes through the towns of
Central City, Ceredo and Kenova in
west Virginia, crossing the Big Sandy
river to Cattlettsburg, KY, over a
splendid steel bridge, and thence
through several smaller manufacturing
towns to and through Ashland, Ky,
where passengers are transferred to the
Ohio side of the river by means Of
fine naptha launch, where the trolley
line extends west through Ironton to
Hanging Rock. This makes a system
about twenty-four miles long and equip
ped with the finest and most modern
cars, making a speed in some places of
thirty to forty miles an hour.
A fine trade reaches Huntington over
this road, and the retail merchants of
this city are enlarging their facilities
to meet the demands.
The Guyandotte Valley Railway Co..
has completed and opened to traffic
thirty miles of its line. This line will
reach up the Guyandotte river to the
Pocahontas coal region and open up
territory wonderfully rich in timber
and minerals
The population of Huntington has in
creased steadily. and easily holds the
city in second place in the race for SUI
premacy, being exceeded only by Wheel
ing. while its public improvements,
Streets churches, schools and elegant
homes make the city rank first in point
of beauty
The Chamber of Commerce, a well or
ganized body of the best business ele-
ment, takes pride and interest in show
ing the advantages of the city to any
who are looking for locations for factor
les or business enterprises OF any kind,
and are we'll equipped with information

Most Of the big industries in Wheel
4ng and vicinity were idle during the
greater portion of-the past week, either
through the-Airect effects Of the flood,
or indirectly, through lack of natural
gas, the Inability Of workmen to reach
their places'of work. etc. There has
tbeenua gradua. resumption. however, and

ESpeaking. insfair shape, and everything
.wAfbe in working order in the morn
ing. There was very considerable loss
of money, as well as a loss of time,
as result. extending from manufac-
turers and customers to workmen and
those dependent upon them, but the
misfortune is one Of those things that
cannot be either provided against or
prevented, and, like most things in this
life, must be endured in the best pos
sible manner as they eventuate. This
sort of trouble extended throughout the
Ohio Valley, from Pittsburg to Louis
vile, and the aggregate loss is very
considerable. The flood was particu-
larry unfortunate at this time, when
manufacturers are rushed with orders
which require the utilization of every
energy and resource. 1t will result, in
very considerable delay in the filling
of orders in many lines, both great and
small but there is no remedy.

part of the week the coke plant was the
only portion of the big plant that was
worked. About the middle of the week
the tube works went on and during the
remainder of the week the departments
were started one by one. The last de-
partments to start will be the plate and
steel departments, and they will start
Monday. The company's plant was not
damaged by the flood, but the loss
through inability to fill contracts will
be great.
The Benwood Steel and Iron works
were unable to work during the early
part of the week, but on Monday they
will start in full.
The La Belle mill, which was off the
early part of the week on account of
the flood will go on in full Monday.
The old portion of the mill was started

4 Jerome Shooting Scrape.

Jerome had another shooting scrape on Tuesday night, which may result in the death of one man and with another one being charged with mur- der. The victim, who is very serious ly, if not fatally injured. was the night clerk of the Montana hotel, whose name was not learned. The man who did the shooting is a miner named Roop, who has been at work in the mines there for some time. Roop occupied a room in the hotel and he and the night clerk had trou- ble of some kind, resulting in the clerk knocking him down. Roop inn mediately went down town and pur- chased a new six shooter and a box of cartridges, and loading the pistol he returned to the hotel in quest of the clerk. The latter was in a room and Roop, it is alleged, repaired there and opened fire on him, emptying his six shooter. Two of the shots took effect, one in the neck and one over the heart. After the shooting ROop re- turned down town, sought an officer and surrendered to him. His pre- liminary examination will rot be held for few days, awaiting the result of the injured mans wounds.

RIO VERDE COMPANY.
New Company Organized Which Will as- sume Indebtedness of the Old
 Company and Resume Work.

Its is currently reported that the ef-
 forts to re-organize the Rio Verde Canal Go. which have been in pro- gress for some, have met with sue cess and that eastern capital has been enlisted on quite favorable terms.
 Yesterday Mir. Sheldon, for many years president of that company, and Capt. Parker, organized a corporation to be known as the Verde Water and Power company. The capital stock is fixed at S2,4OO,OOO, and the articles contain the rather extraordinary fea- ture that dividends shall not exceed six per cent per annum. It is said that all the debts of the old company are to be assumed and paid by the corporation just organized and that within limited time the new com pany is to return to the parties all money which they have hereto in vested in Rio Verde water rights. The officers of the new company have not yet been decided on. The water rights sale are to be in charge of MT. J. G. Hudson, we'll known to many of our citizens. The eastern people are to share in the management.
 The Rio Verde enterprise is one of great merit; its main feature is the storage of the flood waters of the Verde river. It is conceded that when the river is at a low stage all the available waters belong to the present consumers on the Salt river. The lands to be irrigated are among the finest in the world. Those who have studied the matter say that af- ter alloting all the normal flow to the extent of their capacity to the old canals, the aggregate flow of the river is such that by the use of adequate storage capacity, a large additional area can be brought under irrigation and fully served.
 The officers of the old company have clung to their purpose with a tenacity which cannot but be ad- mired. If after so many years they shall be successful the result cannot be more than the just reward of their faith and determination. The ad- of such an outcome to the community at large can hardly be over estimated.
 With the articles of incorporation of the new company which were filed with the county recorders yesterday water location was also filed by P. P. Parker and J. K. Doolittle. This location has some relation to the re- plan but just what could not be learned.-Enterpris

OUR INCORPORATION LAWS.
A Complimentary Description by Law
 Journal.

''The Law Students Helper, pub lished by the Sprague Publishing company, Detroit, Mich, in its Au- gust number compliments the new in- corporation law of Arizona as follows:
 "The latest session of the Arizona legislature passed a general incorpor- ation law which has drawn the atten- tion of incorporators from several of the eastern states and is promising to make Arizona a formidable rival of West Virginia, Delaware, Maryland and South Dakota, which states have heretofore had a monopoly in busi- in this line. All the good features of the incorporation laws of these states are included in the new law, as we'll as numerous other advantages to the incorporator. Private property is ex- empt from corporate debt, no annual or other reports are required, there is no other or annual tax upon the cor poration. None of the incorporators need appear to be residents of the ter ritory, and the amount of capital stock does not increase the cost of in corporation.
 ''It is only necessary that the cor poration appoint resident of Arizona as its agent. Over 5000 companies pave been incorporated under Ari- zona's favorable laws, the bulk of which are eastern companies and Cal ifornia and Texas oil companies. The entire expense of incorporation, in agents fees, will not exceed S60 and often times is less"
