Italy Leaks.
Especial Correspondence .

Mr.. |. c. Dodd, was visiting his
sister in Blueaeld last Sunday.
Maj. Walton returned last Satur-
day from a business trip to Hunting
ton, w. Va.
Mr.. Walton Sudduth was visiting
in Bluefield last Saturday. His visit
to that city are quite frequent of
late. We naturally presume there
are other attractions.
MIR. b. Young was looking after
the interest of his company at Mat
evan last week.
The following persons from Italy
attended the Bob Taylor lecture at
! Poeahontas the evening of the End:
B. Young, II. g. winfrey, 1.
, Haynes, j. T. johnson, Walton
Suddulh, j. G. and w. J. Fink. All
were we'll pleased with the opportu-
nifty q: hearing this distinguished
gentleman.
We learn that the young people OF
Falls Mills are preparing to go on n
grand picnic excursion to Pinacle
Rock soon. Perhaps, your Falls
Mills correspondent can inform us as
to the particulars.
One of our Doctors has become
quite swift bicyclst, in so much that
he quietly challenged the maximum
speed OF no II, between Falls Mill
aud Graham last Saturday. He had
scarcely left Falls Mills when his
steed became frightened, apparently
increasing its speed each revolution
until the application Of brakes were
of no effect. The doctor lost his pill!
bag about midway between the two
points, but did not realize his loss
until the day following. He arrived
home safely, narrowly escaping
slight injuries.
Two gentlemen from Falls Mills
made their return from the East last
Sunday night at rather late hour
and from what we can learn they
had been in the neighborhood of
Graham to sec their best girl.

ROAD COMMlS-

Unable to Agree on Ex-
psnditure.

1t has been said that officeholders
seldom die and never resign. This Is
not true as to road commissioners In
Fazeweli- A short time ago two of the
three commissioners in the Clear Fork
District, resigned, and on Monday OF
this week the commissioners OF the
Jefersonville District resigned in a
body. The Board was composed of
Messrs J. s. Gillespie, C. II. Reynolds
and j. E. Buchanan.
The News reporter CLEANED the fol.
lowing facts from a member OF the
Board after the resignation though the
gentleman seemed not inclined to talk:
The Board met on Monday for the pur-
pose OF appropriating "a certain sum Of
money allotted to th.ir district from the
recent Bond issue. The amount
was adequate only for a very little i'm
provement. and the Board found II Inn.

should be spent Part OF the Board. 4,
was said, wanted the money spent ON
the main pike West OF town, while part
wanted 1t spent i'm other and remoter
sections of the county. Finding It i'm
possible to agree they all determined to
resign, and allow others to be appoint.

money satisfactorily to the people. This
seems to be the exact state OF the
case 80 far as the reporter was able to
gather

opinion that it will not be easy TO find
three more practical or better business
men than the former Board.

CUT IN ORIENTAL
FREIGHT TARIFF
RATE WAR SEEMS CERTAIN
AMONG MEMBERS OF COMBINE.
CHINA AND JAPAN INVOLVED.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 23.-
The acceptance of a cargo of tea from
Yokohama to San Francisco at about
one-third the usual rate by the Port
land and Asiatic Steamship Company
has precipitated a wrangle among the
members of the transpacific freight
combine that promises the defeat of the
high tariff which shippers are subjected
to at present. The Portland and Asiatic
people were forced to take the cargo at
the reduced rate by the NJ. j. Branden-
stein Company, who threatened to char
ter a sailing vessel and begin shipment
on their own account unless the rate
was reduced Their cargo consisted of
2000 tons of tea, and rather than lose
this big haul the steamship company
broke away from the agreed rate. The
company is now the object of attack by
the other members of the shipping
combine, who are accusing it of treach-
cry and threaten to throw up the agree
ment entirely.
The combination on freight rates was
entered into last year by the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company, the Togo
Kisen Kaisha, the Oriental and Occi-
dental Steamship Company, the Nippon
Yusen Kaisha, the Portland and Asia
tic Steamship Company and the Cana
dian Pacific, all of whom made a flat
raise from "a and IS per ton to Sc and
So per ton. The raise in rates caused
great cutlery among shippers all along
the line, who declared the new tariff
almost prohtibitive. Protest was use
less, however, as the combine included
all the steamship lines running between
California and the Orient.

building materials. In the days when
workmen were paid less their working
day was longer / tell you the lot of
the builder these days is one round of
work, less profit than not long ago and
great risks. My foremen have each had
two weeks vacation, but 1 have had
none. About six months ago the price
of steel pound was ~ cents, and then
the builder has to wait a long time be-
fore his order is filled. Steel might be
bought today from a builder at cents
a pound in case he finished a job with
out using all his steel. In order to get
rid quickly of what he had he might be
willing to sell at 3 cents a pound. But
he might not be able even at that price,
to find a ready buyer for his leftover
stock as it may be nothing more than
odds and ends"

HIGHER COST OF
BUILDING NOW
WAGES OF WORKMEN INCREASED
STEEL AND MATERIALS DEARER
COST INCREASED 80 PER CENT.

In the last ten years the cost of build
ing in this city has increased more than
80 per cent, and there are signs that it
will be considerably greater in the near
future than now. On September 1 an
advance of wages for carpenters took
effect, and hod carriers, who get 81
cents an hour, expect to receive 371
cents an hour, at an early date. Pre-
vious to September l first-class car
penters got 81 for day of eight hours;
they are now paid $3.50 for a similar
days work
In erecting a big building an increase
of few cents an hour for any class of
labor means the expenditure of many
thousands of dollars more than under
previous building and labor conditions.
This added expense is first felt by the
owner of the property to be improved,
secondly by the building contractor,
and lastly by the public, which has to
pay a higher rental for space in the
building.
Prices for nearly all kinds of building
material are unusually high, and in
the last six months prices for structural
steel have more than doubled. One of
the greatest items of expense in the
building of the modern skyscTaper Is
steel, and the demand for steel is so
large that the mill owners say they can
not supply orders on short notice. 1t is
said that only the biggest users Of stel
are able to get their orders filled within
thrte months. In many cases builders
have had to wait six or eight months
before they had steel enough on hand
to begin their building operations. De-
lay in carrying out plans is usually ex-
pensive, and most builders are willing
to pay bonus to get the steel on time.
THE profit made by builders nova
days" said John w. Stevens, president
of the John w. Stevens Building Com
pany to a Tribune reporter, 1T indeed
small. The cost of construction has in
the last ten years undoubtedly increas-
ed 30 per sent. A building which could
have been erected ten years ago for $40
600 cannot be duplicated now Cor less
than 100000. One-half of the increase
is due to higher wages paid and the
other half to the higher prices for

KENTWELL SAYS
He is A CITIZEN
LIVED HERE FIVE YEARS BE-
FORE HE WAS NATURALIzED-
DECLARES HE CAN PROVE FACT

Lawrence X. Kentwell, Home Rule
nominee for representative from the
Fourth District, resents the imputa-
lions that have been cast upon his eli
gibility as a citizen and candidate for
the legislature.
II was here" says Mr.. Kentwell, 'for
more than five years before my natu-
ralization, and have plenty of proofs to
that effect. l was being educated at
Punahou College at a time which would
secure to me my right to naturalize
and achieve citizenship. l registered
as a voter last year and nothing was
said, neither was anything said when L
registered again a week or so ago. At
the time of my first registration | had
Republican affiliations ana was indeed
advised to naturalize by members OF
the Republican party Nothing there"
fore was said at either registration,
But as soon as they see my name be-
fore them on the Home Rule platform
they Immediately begin to look around
and see if they can find any disqualifi-
cation. That is what 1 do not like
about the Republican party down here.
| Were l on the mainland | should un-
hesitatingly ally myself with the Re
publican party.
THE Republicans here are too inln-
ed not to attribute any good motives to
the Home Rule party. L stand FIRMLY
on the Home Rule platform any by it's
principles, but that does not mean
that we are going to enact any bad
laws. II the Home Rule party is the
dominant party, surrey it is best to have
men allied with it who will strive for
the good of the community and FOR
good laws rather than to Intellectually
try and work against that party. Is i.
likely that / intend to pass laws that
will injure me in my business?
There are many things needed here
and we recognize them in the Home
Rule party as much as they do else
where. We want a Loan Bill for eX-
| ample badly, and we are going to try
and get it, Understand me, l stand
squarely on the Home Rule platform,
but those who stand there are not as
one side as many Republicans claim we
are. My late good friends of the
| Fourth District, recognizing that
have some pull there are trying to dis
qualify me on one ground or the other,
because l appear in the Home Rule
ranks, but they made no objections or
inquiries as long as | was supposed to
be good Republican. l am a citizen
all right and have ample proofs to sub
stantiate my heritage as an American"
