1t is thought that many other

BRILLIANT WORK.
Varsity Closes the Season with
Fine Record.

Outlook Splendid for Next Year-Loss
Of New Material uval to Come
Back--Yost will Coach for . Year
Without any Compensation In 1905.
The foot ball season for the w.
| V. U. has ended for another year.
Ii was hoped that it would end on
Thursday with final victory over
w. U. p. but the Allegheny lads
feared the trouncing which awaited
them and did not come. The team
has broken TRAINING.
Taken as whole the season has
been the most successful that the
team has ever seen. Coach Duvall
started with lot ol comparatively
green men He has built np an ar
gregation of which any school may
may well be proud. The men have
been light but they have played
fast. they have PLAYED football as
it has never been pla, ed by wearers
of the old gold and blue.
Davall has made hundreds OF
friends since he came here. He has
proven to be splendid man. He
will be secured tor next year and
already plans are being laid to put
out team that will be world bea-
ter.
Nearly every member of this years
team will be back All of them may
be in school. They will start TO
playing two weeks before the Var
sity opens and be ready for hard
work just as soon as the fall term
opens.
The men will go TO Reedsyille
near where Teddy Arthur liyes aud
will start training Immediately. A
training table will he established.
Many other improvements over the
past will be inaugurated.
Much new material is expected to
be in school. Already there are
dozen first class men who want to
come here. Several OF them are al
ready in school. Few of them weigh
under 200 pounds aud the only de-
ficiency of the present team will be
remedied. 1t is light but next year
there will be line that will hoid
them all for a while
And as for the back field, 1t will
be hummer. The men in it this
year have been the best and fastest
set of backs that the Varsity ever
boosted. They will all be here next
year and there will be others.
An election of Captain and Man
agor is soon to take place. Peck is
being strongly mentioned for cap
tain ard will probably land the
place. Much of the success of the
years work has been due to his
heady handling of the men on the

Bowman is prominently mention

charge there ia no doubt whatever
about the success OF the next falls

ment Order on Paving Sidewalks.
The dog question was brought
up in council by Monday night Mr..
Layton Coombs a member from Sec
ond ward. 1t appears from his
statement that only LOG dogs are as
sessed within the corporate limits
of the town while the actual num-
Der of worthless and useful ours
running at large is from 800 TO 500.
All Of these besides the LOG assessed
go free of taxation, and many Of
those assessed pay no tax, it is al
legged, because the owners would
rather give up the dog than to part
with the dollar required, so that all
worthless dogs must either pay tax
of be removed from the town. He
proposed that an ordinance be pre-
pared requiring dog owners to take
out license, and to brand their dogs
with collar and tag, or some kind Of
scheme by which the dogs can be
identified. II some dog owners are
taxed, all should be required to pay
in proportion. 1t is thought that
there are a good many dogs not
worth the tax that should be dispos-
ed of by the owners.
Seven building permits were grant.
ed as follows: To Maud Jennings,
for stable, John Hunt dwelling, j. C.
McVickcr storage room, j. E. Wolfe
dwelling, Mrs. S. H. Protzman,
dwelling, Sam Newman, Ice cream
factory, Wan and d. d. Fortney,
dwelling.
Applications for building permits
we're filed by B. F. Davis for store
room and stable, Miller Reed dwell
ing, Alyis Gaschler dwelling.
1t was ordered that some one be
employed to count the number of
street lights, and report the number
with location of each one to later
meeting of council. When the ques-
ton was raised, it was found that
nobody knew how many lights are
being furnished by the Gas Com
pany, and it was stated that the
Company is in the same state of ig-
norance regarding the number of
lights. Incidentally some note may
be made upon the conditions and
briiliancy, or dimness of the lights
as he makes his round in counting
and locating them.
An order was passed requiring an
assessment to be made on Mrs.
Harvey Staggers and Mrs Wildman
to defray the expense of building
sidewalk along their lots on the
south side of Prospect street from
The ]. c. Wallace property to Price
street. A sidewalk has already been
laid along the Wallace property.
The Morgantown Electric and
Traction Company appeared by it's
attorney Geo. G. Sturglss and made
application for privilege to construct
a street railway bridge over Falling
Run, on the site of the old Falling
Run bridge leading from Front
street to Beverly Avenue, Sunny
side. The company desires also to
raise the grade of bridge and street,
and agrees to be responsible for all
damages to property owners. 1t is
desired to extend the railway around
this loop above the University cam
pus instead of crossing the new
bridge THAT is to te) to Sunnyside
across the campus.
The proposition was referred TO
the street committee.

District Attorney Comes Here to Ex

Near Some of the Locks and Dam
| Between here and Fairmoat.
Uncle Sam needs more land at the

sistant United States Attorney K. M.
Showalter was at Morgantown the
other day examining Titles of two
small tracts OF land, one at lock No.

found to be good, and received the o.

the Fairmont Times.
The dam is now completed at No.
10 and several tests have been made.
Government Engineer j. L. Callard
and MI. Showalter were present at
oue of the tests. When the lock was
closed the water backed up and made
a navigable channel for about seven
miles or nearly to townsville.
Lock No. Is is almost completed.

Much greater progress has been
made this season than was expected,

Attorney Showalter SAID to Times
reporter to-day:"This has been fine
season for public work. and every min
ute Of 1T has been utilized to the best
possible advantage by the government

Asked about the governments idea
in buying more land at the different
locks, Mr.. Showalter said; "More land
is being bought to allow plenty OF
room for the buildings, such as the
lock tenders home and office, etc.
Then it IL better to have too much

GOOD ROADS.
They are Cheaper Than Bad Ones
Profitable Everywhere.

The Importance of good roads anC
their value to each district having
them have long been advocated, but
not until recent years has the public
been awakened to their full signifi
canoe. After all, it was not by ar
gument that the public was convin.
ced, hut from necessity in the be-
ginning and then by example. The
state of New Jersey is wedged in be
tween New York and Pennsylvania
with one OF the great cities of the
country on it's eastern borders and
the second largest city on its western
borders. It's farmers are mainly en-
gagged in raising truck for the mil
lions of people living in those two
cities. To do this thousands of them
drive back to each city daily with a
load OF truck, starting anywhere
from II to A o'clock to get TO the
markets early enough for the buck
sters.
Jersey mud" clay loan, is pro
verbal for it's sickness and disa-
greeable nature to travel through
when wet, says the Putnam Conn.
Patriot.
The Jersey farmer knows the val
ne OF dollar and is opposed to tax
es, but he could reckon the differ
ence between what he lost daily by
reason of bad roads and the tax he
would have to pay for building a
smooth rock road. That having
been worked out, one good road was
built, and those near it got to mar
ket regularly and easily, rain or shine
saving enough each trip to pay road
tax. Seeing is believing" and
farmers In other parts became con
WINGED of their economy, and the ex
ample was followed, slowly at first,
but gradually going on more rapid
ly.
Last year 100 miles of new roads
were built in that state at cost of
about 100000. This year the
demand for them is so great that
the state will, the coming year, ven
ture to put 100000 into 200 miles
of macadam. The state commits
sioner of public roads declares that
this movement has increased the
taxable property of the state by
$27, 100000 just think of that!

There will be six open cars for
summer and seven closed ears for

be shipped from the eompany's
works, up the NJ. & X. The stone
