TWO CENTS
FEELING GOOD
Are Contractors Over Compiet
ton of Locks and Dams.


Lock IA is Completed In one Season
Largest Lot ofConcrete put In It 1
any Lock on Rfyer-Some Facts
About the Stacking of the River.
Reprinted from the Daily NEw
DOMINION of Nov. ..
1t may be the first of the year
before boats are run mp to Fairmont
but the locks and dams will be ready
to lock them through much sooner
than that. All OF the lock gates
have been SWING except the lower
gates at lock 10.
1t will take but a short time to
swing these and the work is now
well under way. At 10 and Ia some
paving remains to be done but this
will not interfere with opening of
navigation. There is some concret-
ing to be done on the bank also but
this will take but short time.
The Gillespie Company is feeling
good over the completion of Ia.
They started work on this lock and
dam last March and have finished it
in one season 1t contains more
concrete than any other work on the
river.
Contracts for the locks and dams
between this place and Fairmont
were let first to G. /. Mcdonald who
did some work on lock 10 and then
he fiunked. Later it was turned
over to Kingston and Piel who did
little more aside from putting in
Golfer at IL.
New contracts were advertised for
and Baker & Judson received 10 and
II, I. A. Gillespie Company got II
and l3 ana w. F. Howley received
Ia and Is. Howley fell down on his
part of the contract. As Gillispie's
bid was very close to that of Howley
they were offered the other locks at
Howley's bid and accepted them.
The contract time was extended
one year after they started. 1t was
originally for two years. The year
of extension expires next June and
each firm has finished wei, within
the time limit.
Headquarters for the work have
been maintained in Morgantown by
both contractors and they have em-
ployed large number of men. The
small number of men seriously injur.
ed on the work in its various places
is very pleasing to the people in
charge.
Lock ten is at Morgantown, lock
Ii at Morgan's Mill, locks II and Ii
are near Little Falls, lock Ia at Ope-
kiska and lock 15 at Hoult.

Fairmont Times.
A Geal that is not denied by either
party is said to have been made Satur-
day. The rumor has 1T that the
West Virginian, the Republican coun-
ty newspaper, passed from the hands
of the l.. o. Powell and Son TO the
ownership OF the company recently
organized to publish a morning Re-
publican daily in Fairmont.
The price, 1t is said was $4,000, and
Mr.. Powell and Mr.. j. e. Powell will
retain $4,000 In stock ia the new
company, which will be chartered
within few days.
The West Virginian is one of the
oldest papers in West Virginia and
for years 1t has been carefully edited
by Mr.. Powell, ably assisted by his
SONS. 1t has long since been a saying
that rival Republican organ in Fair
mont would have rough shedding with
the West Virginian in existance. 1t
is evident that the new company well
knew this and the first move made
by the members was to purchase the
Virginian. 1t Is said that another
local weekly will be bought If salts
factory terms can be arranged.
When the Times called on Mr.. Pow.
ell this morning. he was out of his Of
fee. Mr.. j. E. Powell was present,
however, and while he would neither
affirm or deny that the deal was closed,
he said that such move was contem-
plated and that there would be some
thing along this line to announce in a
day or so.
Although the utmost secrecy is
maintained by Messrs. B. G. Williams,
Harry Shaw, Levi b Harr and
M. G. Tough. who comprise the
new company, it Is understood that
they will soon begin the installation
OF new machinery and the first issue
of their paper will be made just as
soon as possible.
Mr.. Tough will be the editor, and If
the West Virglnian deal is true, Mr..
j. e. Powell is scheduled for business
manager. The local force of reporters
have not been selected.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Interesting Summsryof Railroad
Projects in This Section.

n. Il h. a Portion of the Tideuarer
Route of Observation-Disclosures From
ROWlesburg TO Parsons--B. a. N. viii
Connect at RiyesvilIe.
The Pittsburg Post has the follow
ing interesting gossip in regard TO
railroad matters in this section:
While less attention has been given
lately by the general public to the
Wabash extension from Pittsburg
southwark to connection with the
West Virginia Central Il Pittsburg
Railway, there has been no Stacking
of interest along the route of the pre-
posed line. One OF the latest develop
ments of this line is in West Virginia,
where ii is reported quietly that the
Morgantown 81 Kingwood railroad,
extending now from Morgantown
enthusiastically to Bretz, is to form
portion of the Wabash tidewater
line. The route, If decided on, would
give more direct and shorter line
from here eastward, connection being
made more easily at Parsons, where
the West!Virginia Central & Pittsburg
crosses the Cheat river. This route
would be more than 25 miles shorter
than the first proposed line to Beling-
ton. While it has been reported in
semi-official way that this arrange
ment is0to be effected, no definite
official information can be be secured.
President j. w. Patterson of the
Wabash extension lines, says the
West Virginia work is being looked
after by President j. II. Blair, OF the
Buckhannon & Northern and the Lit
tie Kanawha.
The Morgantown 81 Kingwood has
Just recently placed in use the two
miles of road from Masentown to
Bretz, Il new town, where large coal
plant Is now being established. Chief
Engineer A. Spates Brady, of the
Morgantown & Kingwood, SAYS that
surveys have been completed for con-
tinuing the line from Bretz, via King
wood to Rowlesburg, where the Bal
tinore & Ohio crosses the Cheat river.
This additional construction is expect
ed to be completed within year
While no mention has been made OF
the extension of this line up the Cheat
river TO Parsons, on the West Virginia
Central, the rumor that the Wabash
is to make use of the Morgantown s.
Klngwood, makes the extension from
Rowlesburg TO Parsons seem plausible.
The distane is cot much over 25 miles.
In this connection it is interesting
TO note that the Morgantown & Pitts
burg Railroad Company, of Morgan
town, has been chartered TO build
lineDseuthwest from Morgantown to
Fairmont. Maps and profles filed
with the county clerk of Marion
county, show that the Morgantown
line and the Bueknhannon s. North-
ern will connect just north Of Rives-
vile, near Fairmont, where the Wa
bash extension in West Virginia
crosses the Monongahela river. The
Morgantown & Pittsburg line will be
completed also Within year.
So far as can be learned the revision
OF the plans and the final approval by
President Ramsey have not yet been
plished for the Greene county
railroads.&c. Wabash extension from
here to the West Virginia line. The
fate Of Canonsburg is thus left uncer
tain in reference to its being on OF off

THANKSGIVING SERMON
Enjoyed by Great Audience at
Presbyterian Church.
DR.. Compton Delivered Scholarly and
Appropriate discourse - Collection
of $40 for the Poor-Giyen to Socie.
ty for Distribution.

At 10:45 o'clock Thursday morn
ing, a large audience had assembled
in the Presbyterian church. filing
the auditorium and Sunday school
rooms, to participate in the annual
Thanksgiving services. All the
ministers of the city, with the ex-
ception of Rev. Marley, who had u
special service IN his own church,
were present and took part in the
services.
DR.. III. +. Compton preached a
strong and inspiring sermon, which
contained many notable utterances.
1t was largely devoted to arraigning
the theories of materialists, atheists,
agnostics and goddess evolutionists.
He showed the marvels Of God s
handiwork in the universe, and in
conclusion, declared that the Anglo
Saxon had been, and under God s
direction, must continue to be the
torch-bearer of the ages, and quoted
the thrilling words of the Battle
Hymn of the Republic"
DR.. Buchanan instantly announced
the hymn, "America,' and the con
gregation was in fitting mood to
sing it.
A collection for the poor of the
city was taken up, and about $40
was secured. This will be placed in
the hands of an organization of
young people, representing all the
churches, and by them will be dis
tributed to those who seem most
needy.
Last year this money was given to
the local corps of the Salvation army
for distribution, but the corps is
now somewhat disorganized, being
without captain, and 1t was thought
wise to place the fund in the hands
of more thoroughly organized
body.

TURKEY DRAWING CONTEST
Nearly One Hundred Subm itted-Ex.
cellent Work by the Children.

Over 100 drawings were submitted
by as many contestants for the
prizes offered by the Acme Publish
ing company Tor the best and second
best picture of turkey, drawn by II
child under fourteen years of age.
The prizes were SIS gold piece for
first and So for second. Violet Chap
lin aged Ii was awarded the first
prize and Mildred Mathews aged IL
got the second prize. The Judges
gave honorable mention to Jessie b.
Weaver, aged II and Mary Rich
aged IL.
The drawings are displayed In the
window of the Acme Book Store and
have attracted a great deal of at
tention. Much of the work is ex-
cellent ane many who see it, wonder
that children OF Ia or under have
attained such remarkable proficiency
in the art OF drawing. Several pic
lures submitted by children seven
years of age are particularly deserv
ing of praise. The judges must have
had difficult task in selecting the
best, for there Is very little differ.
ence in the merit of dozen or more.
Much interest was shown in the
contest and crowds of children gath
cred at the window. The Acme peo-
pie were kept busy answering phone
calls fror, interested parents.
