New Salt Company Has Hearing
Today.
Especial Corrcspondence.)

Columbus March 12.-Hon. julius
Whiting of Canton, late this after
noon, will present arguments before
the State Board of Public Works in
the effort TO secure exclusive rights
and privileges upon A acres of land
and water Mt Turkeyfoot Lake six
miles southwest of Akron. He desires
to erccte big summer hotel there
and to make the beautiful spot a
pleasure resort.
1t may be stated almost positively
that the application will not be grant
ed, although it Is barely possible that
some compromise may be suggested
which Mr.. Whiting will consider it
worth his while to accept
Both members of the Canal Com
mission said today that they are op-
posed to allowing exclusive prlvi-
leges upon State property, and it Is
known that at least one member of
| the Board of Public Works holds the
same views. Such a lease must be
ratified by both the Board of Public
Works and the Canal Commission.
| There Is no doubt that Mr.. Whiting
would be allowed to lease the land in
question, provided that other persons
were not debarred from doing like
wise, if they so desired. Mr.. Whiting
does not believe that he would be
justified in going to the necessary ex-
pensc under these conditions.
The application of Elmer Turner
for the lease of salt well in Akron
will also he discussed today. 1t is
understood that he represents com.
pany in competition with the salt
| trust.
The members of the Board Of public
Works will meet next Monday even
ing with Thomas w. Fordyce, who has
conducted successful experiments with
electricity as motive power for canal
boats, to enter into formal con-
tract, authorizing him to construct
an electric road along the Miami and
Erie canal between Cincinnati and
Toledo. The original agreement be-
tween Mr., Fordyce and the State
viii be closely followed

WY CIarksburg Should Hays aY.M.CA.

l. Because there are numbers OF
young men in ClarkSburg who have nc
homes, and around whom are no ele.
waiting and refining influences.
>. Because there are temptations
that appeal TO young men with pecu-
liar persistence and force.
,. Because in Clarksburg are places
that exist to create those temptations
whose atmosphere is demoralizing and
infamous; which thrive on the corrup-
tion OF youth, and which offer every
attraction to accomplish their pur-
pose.
1. Because ever against all this is
no place of healthy moral and religious
tone where young men may feel that
they have home at which they are
always welcome, and where they may
enjoy every social and intellectual
pleasure.
.. Because a thoroughly equipped
Association is such home. 1t has a
gymnasium and bath rooms: reading
rooms and library: an assembly hall in
which Religious meetings and various
entertainments are held from time to
time; which is open constantly to
young men. The object of such an
association is THE spiritual, intellect
ual, social and physical welfare OF
young men"
6. Because there are parents and
Others in Clarksburg who are eager to
see something Of the sort done for
young men.
:. Because wherever the associa-
ton gets hold it is power for good.
We may safely conclude 1t will be the
same here.
s. Because the Association does a
work that no Other organization can
do. 1t puts young men to work among
young men In a systematic way. A
young man is the best one to reach a
young man. They understand each
other. Thus 1t helps the one who
works and the one for whom the work
is done.
Those who have started the move
ment are determined to spare no pains
to establish a building OF the sort de-
scribed. 1t is for the people Of Clarks-
burg to say whether or not it shall be
had. We want the interest and CO.
operation Of every one who reads this.
Let us know that you are on our side.
A word Of encouragement helps. We
value what has already been given.
The second meeting, on last Sunday
was very successful one. Others
have Joined the Association since our
last announcement. We hope next
week to give complete list Of officers
and committees.
A meeting will be held in Central
Presbyterian church on Sunday, Aug.
25, at 4 p. IN. We want every man in
the city.

Too Busy TO Talk Politics.

In 1895 Chas. NJ. Gaylord was the
most effective campaigner the Demo-
Gratis had in this county. He did more
than all Others combined to bolster up
the cause Of Bryan and l6 to l. The
party never gave him credit for it, and
some OF the leaders very ungratefully
even tried todiscredit and ignore him.
To-day Gaylord is In business at Clarks-
burg. He is making money and enjoy
ing the good times which he and all
his party declared couldn't exist under
McKinleyism. The WriterSaw him at
Clarksburg few days ago. He asked
him with whom he talked politics
down there. Here is his significant
reply: "The fact is, AID, don't have
time to talk politics; l am too busy"
Surely the good times are well on when
Gaylordls too busy to talk politics.
