TERRIBLE STORM.
Immense Drifts Block the Roads
near Halleck

Hours Spent by Travellers in Their eff
forts to Get to Town Biggest Storm
of years Experienced-Deep Snow
at Cumberland Relief Hoped for but
not seen.
Dolph Anderson who was called to
the funeral of Mrs. Anderson's mother
Mrs. Elizabeth Kelly wife OF Joseph
Kelly who died few days ago has a
wonderful story to relate of his exper-
fences. He says that there are drifts
ten feet deep pear Halleck.
Hours were spent in vain attempt
to get through the drifts with buggy
and finally it had TO be given up and
horse back riding substituted. De-
tours of miles had to be taken TO
get around the places where the roads
were piled full of snow becoming inn
passable.
Dolph says that he was all day COM
ing to town arriving late on Wednes-
day evening. His family had to be
left behind as they could not get
through. The snow is from foot &c
eighteen inches on the level but had
drifted terribly. Nothing like it at
this season Of the year has ever been
seen in this country.
Stake and rider fences were in some
cases buried ont of sight and in many
places the riders feet dragged ia the
snow as they rode through the least
showed up places.
The storm came the first Of the week
and ragged for two or three days. The
snow stuck to every thing and limbs
of trees have been broken off in many
cases.
Reports from other sections of Uht
country show a heavy snow fall. Cum
berland states that three feet Of snow
has fallen there and that traffic has
been greatly impeded by the storm
The weather bureau does not give
any cheering predictions of change
for the better but it is not thought
that such conditions can prevail much
longer.

FIGHTING SAN JOSE SCALE.

the Trees-To Spray Them Again
Before Winter-The Scale Spreading
"Details of the Campaign Being
Waged.
MARTrNsBURG, April 3-The fruit
growers of the county met in the
County Court House yesterday after
noon with Prof. X. @. DAVIS, hortieul-
turist at the West Virginia Agricul-
tural Experiment station, and had an
interesting discussion about the treat
ment of the San Jose scale.
Prof Davis, the horticulturist, Prof
Gilbert Nj. John, horticulturist, and
Prof. w. e. Rumsey, assistant entom-
ologist at the experiment station,
have been in this section fighting the
San Jose scale for the past week and
they will remain here until the bud
begins TO open, after which time
nothing can be done until next fall.
The experiment station specialists
report that the scale is spreading rap
idly and If the orchard owners want
to succeed with their orchards they
must fight it. They have on this
trip found the scale in orchards which
heretofore have been thought to be
entirely free from it.
The experiment station men have
been spending most OF the time 10 the
Sperow orchards in this county the
orchards of Augustus Trump at
Kearnseyville and the Janney orchards
at Vanelevesville.
They have already used forty bar
rels of oil in the work. The supply OF
crude oil is now exhausted and no
more can be gotten here in time for
spraying for if it is done after this
week there will be danger OF killing
the buds. Since the supply OF crude
oil has been exhausted mixture OF 3
pounds of yaseline with barrel Of
petroleum will be used. This is just
as good as the crude oil.
If the San Jose Scale is held in
check, for ten years Berkeley county
will be one of the greatest fruit grow
ing counties for its size in the country
! diIu ODG ol tIt llIhCob NSAhVASS IA
West Virginia. The fruit growing
industry by that time will have reach
ed such enormous proportions that
with It's other resources the county
will forge right to the front.
The law relative TO the San Jose
scale will be iigidly enforced. All OF
the orchard owners have been notified
by the State TO spray their trees and
if this is not done the State will dc
it and charge the work up to the or
chardists. If the orchardists refuse
to pay the bills the money will be col
leeted by process of law.
Any person violating or neglecting
to carry out the provisions Of this ACT
shall be adjudged guilty of misde'
meanor, and upon conviction before
any Justice OF the Peace shall be fn-
ed not less than ten dollars and moi
more than one hundred dollars fol
each and every offense, together with
all the costs of the prosecution, anC
shall stand committed until all il
paid. 1t shall be the duty of the
Prosecuting Attorney to prosecute al
violations Of this Act and all amounts
so recovered shall be paid over int

The Orchardists will hold anothe
meeting with The experiment station

New YORK, April AT the one

terday a formal resolution was Of
fered calling for action by congress
looking to an amendment of the con.
stitution of the United States SO as
to permit the passing OF law to pro-

referred to committee. The Rev.
DR.. w. L. Davidson, of the East Ohio
conference and secretary OF the
American university in Washington,
appeared before the conference as a
representative of the university, Ho
said that since the gift of 100000
by Andrew Carnegie to found a ma.

letters from people who feared that
the new institute would interfere with

work of the American university
would be of assistance to it IL 1t were

Connection with West Virginia
Central and u. aud O.--More Inter.
esting Reports.
In view of the interest being Ia
ken in the proposition to use the
Western Maryland as part OF Pitts
burg line to tidewater, the fact that
a most attractive plan OF this kind
is also up the sleeve of the Wander
bits is of Importance. This is the
old plan ID extend the Pittsbure 4
Lake Erie through Southern Penn
sylvania into West Virginia, follow
ing the Cheat River valley, intersec-
ting the West Virginia entral at
Parsons and continuing up the Dry
Fork and through the North Gap OF
tue Alleghenies TO connection with
the Chesapeake q OHIO ut Staun-
ton, Va says the Cumberland News.
The corps OF surveyors looking up
every detail of this work has been
engaged for at least two years past,
and enough has been done to satisfy
those in charge that the tew route
will furnish a low grade line capable
of the best work to the seaboard.
The Pittshurg d Lake Erie. ex-
tended now to Fayette City and un-
der construction TO Brownsville, will
within year or so make another ex-
tension. Cats run being the termi.
nus of the new line With these two
extensions complete the length OF
railroad to be built to reach Staun
ton will be only lao miles. While
the work Is necessarily heavy it is
said not TO be prohibitiyeIy So Ii
is estimated that $5,500,000 would
construct model double track line
from the Lake Erie's terminus to
Stanton
The advantages OF Newport News,
which would be the tidewater ter
minus of this line, are the best of
any port on the Atlantic coast for
Pittsburg. The supply of high
grade iron ores from Santiago dc
Cuba would be placed in easy strik-
ing distance OF Pittsbnrg in this
way, and the ocean freight would be
lower even that the lake freights
met in bringing Mesaba ore to Pitts
burg The future as we'll as the
present OF Newport News as a coal

project would mean also the devel-
opment Of the whole Monongahela-
