Notes from . Steamboat Deck taught
on the Fly and Sent In 10 the
Deyll.

From our Special Roustabont.
The Northern Panhandle is a very small
portion of West Virginia aud three Of its
four counties are very small. Reno distric,
would nearly il not quite cover the largest
OF these three. But except in size, the
Panhandle is very important, part of the
State II Is populous and wealthy. IL has
the largest eny in the State, and il has
plenty Of mineral aud agricultural wealth.
Its manufactures are more extensive than
anywhere else and the school year il much
longer. Lying as il does. wedged in be.
tween Pennsylvania and Oho---a narrow
strip of ground 90 miles long. having close
interests with both States. Que wonders how
the circumstances ever came about. II
helps to show tha, some State boundaries
are anything but natural. The Panhandle
is too much like the neiehboriug States to
he a typical section of West Virginia. Its
political influence In the formation of our
State explains why such an un-cen,ral point
as Wheeling was for two periods of time
the State Capital.
