GAS SUPPLY.
Is Worrying towns to the North
of Morgantown.
Uniontown and Point. Marion Have
shortage OF gas Mains to be Ex-
tended Into Marion County to get

gas-DrilIing Resumed Near Point
Marion.
Towns to the north of MorgaLtown
are having hard time on account
of a scarcity Of gas. A special from
Uniontown tells of the steps that
being made 10 get gas Tor that town.
1t is as follows:
The Fayette County Gas Company
have begun drilling wells in West
Virginia, twelve miles south of Fair
mont The first we'll was started on
Monday The company has sever
al thousand acres Of promising gas
territory in the state. They have
already large gas wells drilled there
which they will bring to Uniontown
IN the spring by laying pipe from
Masontown 70 near Warrington, as
the Fayette county wells are not
holding up. Mr.. Garard says the
company have plenty OF gas for do
nestle purposes this winter.
The territory il Marion and Mon.
ongalia counties is considered as
good as any in West Virginia and
the company expects to obtain a
supply that will last many years.
Point Marion is another town
which has been hit had by the. gas
pressure going down. Some of it's
troubles are told IN this special from
there:
The shortage OF gas of late has
caused much apprehension that our
glass factories as well as our dwell
iings might be left in the cold; but
an adequate supply is now assured.
rhe State Line Gas company has
bought OF the Carnegie Gas company
the gas well located near Keener's
school house In Greene county and
in few days the new we'll will be
connected with the line and the gas
turned in. This well shows a pres
sure OF 100 pounds in two minutes,
and is good to supply million feet
10 "a hours. Besides the State
Line Gas company have commenced
to drill new we'll on the A. l.. Stone
land.
T e shortage of gas compelled the
Morris Glass Company to shut
down their factory and there has
been very weak supply at both the
Jeanett Glass company and at the
Federated Glass company.

Missiles of Glass WOrkers-Peacea.
BILE Efforts to be Used at First
What the Last Big Strike Cost.
American Flint Glass Workers
are again considering the ADVISABLE
ity OF declaring strike against the
United States Glass Company for
union wages, the recognition of the
organization of the workmen. 1t is
expected that employees of one OF
the Pittsburg factories will make
demands today, unless officials OF
the union persuade them that this
course would be unwise. At the
national convention in Wheeling,
the question of demanding conces-
sions from the United States Com
pany was considered, and many of
the radical element favored it, be-
cause of the exceptionally good con
ltion of the condition OF the organ
ization, numerically and financially,
at this time. The U. S. plants had
been declared open shops, and union
men we're allowed to work in them.
The number of union men is now
said to largely exceed the non union
workmeu. and the time for making
demands is considered opportune.
Here is what vice president Rowe,
of the A. F. G. W. U. says on the
subjec.:
1--WE propose to have talk with the
officers of the company at some time
relative to granting union rates and
recognition of the organization, but
until we do we will discourage any
movement to strike. The men say
they have determined to strike at
the Doyle factory, or Factory P. OF
the United States Glass COMPANY.
"Some time ago we declared the
factories OF the United States Glass
Company open and most OF the en-
ployes now are union men. We
have been drawing on them for men
when needed to fill out the compile
ment in union plants. During the
last few weeks we have AIKEN nearly
all of the men in the general mold
making shop on the South Side.
"There are now but few skilled
non union men employed by the
company and while we would moi
have so great difficulty in winning
a strike as we had ten years ago, il
is not deemed advisable to do any
thing until we have first had a con.
sultation with the company"
Secretary John L. Dobbins said
the union is coming in strength and
he believes it soon will be- recognized
by the United States Glass Com
pauy. "Our last etrike," said he
.'cost the organization $1,271, 900 in
tenefits and the strikers lost fully
$2,25O, 900 in wages. We will moi
60 into another expensive struggle
but no DOUBT strike could be won
without much difficulty under pres
ent conditions Most of the mer
now at work are members of the I'M
ion and the company is paying neal
the list prices"

Boom at Rlce,s Landing.

We understand, says the Waynes-
burg Independent, that a number OF
fittsburgers have taken options on
quite large acreage Of land 10 the
locality Of Rices Landing. We did
Lot learn the price the land was OPP
toned at, or for what purpose, but
the latter can easily be divined. The
opening Of the coal works at that
place and the building OF the proposed
railroad indicate that that section
may become town of considerable
proportions. There Is great future
for the Monongahela valley and this
county will not be an exception 10

Returns from the various towns
of the:state howothat the Laurel has
won the vote for state flower. But
two towns have reported q majority
tor any other flower. Not all the
vote is in yet but the later returns

There is some misconception as to
the result of the election held among
the school children. The selection
they made does not make the flower
the state flower. 1t merely recon
mends that the legislature by law
adopt it as the state flower. There
is little or no doubt but that they

PROFESSOR SELECTED
New Man For the Engineering
Department is Chosen.

Prof. W. H. Beughton Of Dennison
University has Been Selected-He
will be Here on-Semething Of
the Man-Demand for Engineering
Students never so Great.
After carefully look ing about over
the country, and after considering
the fitness OF very considerable
number of persons, the President of
West Virginia University and COM
mittee Of the Board OF Regents have
selected Professor of Civil and
Mining Engineering, to fill the place
made vacant by the resignation OF
Professor John L. Johnston last
spring. Professor VIM. H. Bough-
ton, a graduate Of the University of
Michigan, and thoroughly practi-
cal engineer, as well Al an excellent
teacher, has been elected.
Professor Boughton graduated
from the University Of Michigan
with the degree of B. S. C. e., and
later took the degree OF c. e at the
same institution. Afterward be did
graduate work in pure mathematics
at the University Of Chicago.
He has held the following posi-
tions: Assistant Maintenance OF
Way for the Big Four Railroad !;
Bridge and. Structural Draughtsmsn
for the New Jersey Steel and Iron
Company, for the Brown Hosting
Machine Company of Cleveland, for
he Pittsburg Bridge Company, and
or the American Bridge Company.
He was also connected for five years
with the mechanical departments OF
the following railroads: Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern; Pittsburg
and Lake Erie; Wheeling and Lake
Erie; and Toledo, St. Louis, and
Kansas City.
In addition to this valuable prac-
tical work, he has met with great
success as Professor OF Civil Engi-
neering at Dennison Uni, ersity,
where he has been employed since
1894. Professor Boughner will en-
ter upon his duties at Morgantown
at the beginning of the Spring term,
April l. He will great, strengthen
that important department.
Until Professor Boughton arrives,
the work in the department of Civil
and Mining Engineering will be ia
zen care Of by Professor Morris and
Mr.. Burke. There is no more i'm
portant department OF the Univer
sity than the Engineering depart
ment 1t is probable that the peo-
pie OF the state are expecti,g more
of this department than OF any 9TH
err, and are watching ~ with more
interest than any other, because the
development OF the state just now
is remarkable in industrial and en-
gineeling directions Every part Of
the state is calling TOR civil, mechan
ical and mining engineers, and the
University ought TO he ready to sup.
ply the demand as last as possible.
