An Important Step Being Taken by the
Experiment. Station OF West Virginia
University.


Through the influence of Director
Stewart of the Experiment Station
at West Virginia University, and
with the cooperation of some pro-
minet citizens Of Morgantown. the
u. S. Division of Good Roads in
the Department of Agriculture has
been induced to supervise the build
ing OF three miles OF good road in
Monongalia county. Work upon
the model road is now going on. II
extends from the west end of the
suspension bridge at Morgantown
down the river three miles, To Ran
dali. A portion Of il is to be built
of Telford blocks, and the remain
der Is to be a MacA&m road.
Citizens furnish the material and
the labor and the u. S. Govern
men, furnishes the machinery and
supcrvises the work.
The purpose OF the road is to
serve as a model and encourage the
building OF similar roads elsewhere
in the county and state. Director
Stewart will be glad to cooperate
with persons in any section Of West
Virginia in the building OF similar
pieces OF model road. There is
nothing that West Virginia needs
more, probably, than system OF
good roads Our present mud
roads in most Of tho counties are a
disgrace. The work now being
started Is Of The greatest importance.

frs, what the United States was
urchasing.
Senator Dubois, who returned to
Washington this week, tells your
correspondent that the Republican
victory in Tie west was clearly due
to the gratitude of the western people
to the President for having urged
the necessity OF the irrigation OF the
arid lands on Congress and for hav-
ing signed the Hansbrough- New
lands bill. He considers that the
same bill saved Nevada 10 the Demo
Gratis as the people felt that owed a
warm endorsement to Mr.. Newlands
for his excellent work in behalf Of
the bill. The Senator is most posi-
tive in his assertion that, In view of
the feeling OF the people on this
subject, this years elections cannot
be regarded as ia any way indicative
Of western sentiment on national
issues.

The congressional forces are rap
idly lining up for what promises to
be one Of the liveIiest and most IN
tcresting short sessions held in
recent years. The Republicans have
good working mgorities in both
housss, ,u2t~ Congress and there is
nothing 10 prevent them from having
their own way, except the fact that
the party is split into several fac
tons and that the two important
branches, the tariff revision branch
and that section which regards the
Dipgley bill as sacred and "inspired"
are as far apart as the antipodes.

as sudden as Aladin created by rub ping his lamp. No. it was not dream. for our Arabian steed recalled us to earth with a spring as the hub of a flying wagon came very nearly remov- ing her left hind leg on the southwest corner of her frame. An addition was noticed going on in the rear end of the ice plant, and at the same time a man
 was noticed rushing out of the front end with a large block of ice; the ice and the man disappeared in the half way house. just across the street. The latter, of course. meant cool beer for the boys in blue. At Whipple Siding were several empty cars. besides which was ranged in long pile such housekeeping paraphernalia as sol diers use, including baby carriage for little soldier not in jignt. although a comedy lady with a veil on was sight ed in the distance, with no ugly man near her. A detail of soldiers was at work trying to get order out of this chaotic pile of baggage, while couple of traditional government mules, hitched to a wagon, was hauling the goods to the old headquarters building on the fiat where the company is dom- iciled Back of this building.a cook ing squad of soldiers presided over a fire and a bunch of steaming camp kettles. Exploring squads of soldiers
 were seen taking in the old post, going in various directions. Young officers hurried to and fro, full of business;
 while Hon. A. c. Oliver cut across lots and ditches as if he felt twenty years younger It was lively and cheering sight. and not a few Prescott people
 were present to enjoy it.

HOUSE PASSES STATEHOOD BILL.

The telegraph wires last night brought the pleasing information that the house had passed the state hood bill. providing for the admission of Arizona, New Mexico and Okiaho- ma to statehood. The first announce ment came in a few words. Later in the afternoon the Review received a special from a special correspondent at Washington indicating that the passing of the bill through the house was attended with much excitement.
 While speaking on the amendment joining Arizona and New Mexico as one state, Arizona's delegate. Hon. M. A. Smith, was seized with an attack of vertigo and was carried to one of the committe rooms, where he was attend ed by two physicians. From reports at hand it appears that the bill passed the house without much opposition. As the bill progressed through the house congressman lined up in favor Of the measure with much enthusiasm, and the bill finally passed, as at first framed. without any embarrassing amendments.
 The house has redeemed the pledges made to the people by the Rpublican party in it's last national platform. ! The bill will now go to the senate. is yill the senate be guided by the writ Zen platform of it's party. and carry out the wishes of the people as repre- sented by the house? The duty of the senate is plain. Will they do it? From conversing with those who have been in washington recently and from letters received iii the territory, it seems to be the concensus of opinion that the senate will not take action on the statehood bill at his session but | will take up the question at the short session and pass the bill
 The senate is continually embarras ed in enacting territorial legislation for the Philippines, Puerto Rico and Hawaii for the reason that the home territories came under the same head it is believed now that the senaEe is reconciled to the idea of admitting all the territories within the bounds o1 the United States proper.
 Delegate Mark Smith has on more than on one occasion passed a state hood bill through the house only to meet with failure in the senate. The that body give Arizona the birthright

FORT WHlpPtE ASSUMES LIFE.

The people of Prescott are to be congratulated. Soldiers have arrived at Fort Whipple. Since the abandon ment of the post, several years ago, the fight for it's rehabilitation has nev- CT ceased. and the battle has been won and the people of Prescott are happy and experienced a thrill of ec- static joy whom the bugle blast an- nounced the first arrival of the boys in blue. only an advance guard, as it were, but sufficient to guarantee that hope, long deferred. was at last to be realized
 The next morning after the soldiers arrived at Whipple, Bro. Rogers, of the Courier, bestrode his tax-paying horse and undisturbed by a taxless- toot, rode for the barracks to feast his eyes once more on the sight of blue coats. When the colonel re. turned to the Courier sanctum he toox his aesthetic pen from it's silken-lined case and wrote as follows:
 
 The Courier reporter again be- stroje his tax-paying horse early this morning and rode to Whipple ber. racks, to see the soldiers. The sun shone bright, and everything seemed to have her best foot forward as reg iments of pleasant memories rode, the bugle blast which sounded over the hills from the dear old post, and delivery wagons of Prescott trades people dashed to and fro to supply the needs of the troops.

THE SUGAR-6EET
 AND SUGAR TRUST.

The members of congress from Colo rado are making a heroic fight against l the Cuban reciprocity bill which pro yides for a reduction of the tarin on sugar brought from Cuba to the Unit ed States. The tariff is direct nelD to the beet sugar industry Of that state, which had a marvellous growth during the last three years. Congress man Shafroth made a clean and logi- cal speech on April 11th, copy of which has found wide distribution. Mir Shafroth denies that the proposed bill is for the benefit of the United States or for the benefit ofthe people of Cuba and declares that the sugar trust will alone be the beneficiary of the measure if it Becomes law, will discourage further development of the sugar beet industry. The American Sugar Refining company. which is the trust, has been for years using every means, fair or foul, to exterminate the sugar beet industry of America. Last
 
 MT. Shafroth-a war to the knife against the sugar industry of Colorado. It was then predicted that i. it failed the next movement would be to pro cure legislation through congress that would strengthen it's own position and demonstrate to capital that condi- tions as to the sugar-beet industry are so unstable as to make it unsafe for further investments. Mir. Shafroth then tells of how the trust tried to drive the Colorado beet-sugar men out of the Kansas City market
 Colorado having last year produced more sugar than she could consume was compelled to find a market beyond her borders. That market was natur- ally in the Missouri River valley The agents of this industry went to the cities of that valley and negotiated sales for their product. They had to guarantee that sugar would not on the open market fall below the then selling price. which in Kansas City was s523 per hundred pounds. The American Sugar Refining company, thinking 1t could compel great losses to the Colo rado factories upon those contracts, and thereby maze the production of sugar by them unprofitable, ordered sales by the Kansas City agents, not at fair competitive prices, but at ab. solutely ruinous prices both to itself and the Colorado producers. That company ordered a cut in sugar to $3.50 a hundred pounds. such a cut as as never before made. This reduc. tion, however, was only at the Missouri river cities where Colorado sugar had been sold. The price remained s522 per hundred in New York, and still higher in Chicago. St. Louis. and the other parts Of the country. The cut was made for the very purpose oi ruining the beet-sugar industry of Col orado
 Here We have an illustration of what trust can do, what combined capital can do when its aggregation reaches the stage of the American Sugar Re hning company. That company today controls 90 per cent of the refined su gar in this country. From the time of it's organization down to the pres ent, 1t has been said. its pathway is strewn with wrecks of those who at tempted to compete with it. Some times these competitors have been crushed and bought out and sometimes they have been crushed and allowed to remain where they were, ruined

with the decline of United States Steel,

earnings was issued, and was aug

Delaware and Hudson dividend rate,
and finally the resort to a bond issue
by the Atchison. after the common
stock dividend had been increased
early in the winter appeared to cul-
inmate this afternoon. The selling
movement was started with the cir
culatlon of rumors that the Erie Rail-
road contemplated a new issue of
bonds, and even after the official de-
malls the market refused to rally. A
break of over 2 per cent. in Sugar,
which accompanied the reduction of
the price of refined sugars also tend
ed to unsettle trading sentiment. In
many instances stop loss orders were
uncovered and the execution of these
continued to still further make lower
prices. 1t would be almost invidious
to single out any stock as represen-
tatlVe of particular weakness. New
York Central, however, was sold down
over per cent, on the theory that
costly work would be required of the
company as the fruit of the recent
tunnel disaster. Atchison lost over 2
per cent. on continued discussion of
the recent debenture bond issue The
Eries were conspicuously pressed for
sale, not only on the bond issue ru-
mors, but because the impression is
strengthening that no immediate
change will be made in the dividend on
