United States engineer are able to
complete the dams between the two
cities before cold weather opens de-
ponds entirely upon the stage of the
water.
The locks and dams under construc-
tion now are Nos. 10, II, II, l3, IA
and 10 and when they are completed
the entire Monongahela, to its head,
will be opened to navigation. The
project now is to have their formal
opening on the same day. 1t will
mark an epoch in the rivers history
and the people OF the district realize
it fully. Already the citizens along
the 80 mile stretch are making prepa-
rasions to celebrate the opening.
When these dams are completed
and placed in operation it is believed

Report That Wabash Syndicate
Gets big Tract of Coal.

$50 per Acre Renewed Activity In
Coal Matters Other Alleged Pur-
chases for Gould Enthusiastically
at Arnettsyllle in Railroad Matters.
1t is reported that j. NJ. Gutfy and
Others last week sold 1000 acres Of the
Pittsburg vein Of coal TO the Wabash
syndicate for $50 per acre. The coal
lies along the border of Monongalia
and Marion counties
There are few scattered farms OF
this valuable vein OF coal In this coun-
ty, but they are being rapidly taken
up by capitalists from this and other
states.
The activity Of the Wabash and b.
& @, railroads in this county has
caused renewed interest in coal, and
the increased activity in this aud 9TH
er industries is evident.
The statement is made on appara-
emily good grounds that the Wabash
Railroad Company has bought the
New Central Coal Company's proper
ty on the Paw Paw branch OF the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and that
an option has been secured on the
Federal Coal Company's plant on the
same line.
1t is further stated that the Wabash
will likely get control of the Paw Paw
railroad aud use it from the mouth OF
of Little Paw Paw Creek to Rlyesville
as main line.
It is said that the Paw Paw road
will be absolutely worthless to the
Baltimore and Ohio il the Wabash is
acquiring the coal company property
along it., and that to unload the line
would be the first. thing the Baltimore
and Ohio would be glad to do.
The people of Arnettsyille and vicin-
ity are all excited over the railroad
surveyors and consequent rumors In
that section. There is little talk OF
anything else in that vicinity. let
ter from there says:
Wea all excited over railroads now.
A corps Of engineers are surveying a
route from Rivesville via Parkers' Run
and over to Osgood; thence up Little
Indian Creek 20 Mrs. Bankers; thence
on near the turnpike towards Nor
gantown. 1t is not known whether
the engineers are working for the
Wabash, the B. & O, or for the Fair
mont, Morgantown, and Cheat River
railroad company. The extent OF the
information is that they are at work.
1t is rumored that the line is to deyel-
op the Davis Elkins coal field.

application for injunction. 1t will be
argued this afternoon.
The concrete work for the abut-
ments and piers of the bridge will be
finished today. 1t was done by the
Acme Paving Company, OF Wheeling
and Columbus, and is a arst class
piece of work in every respect. Some
difficulties were encountered in build
ing the piers near the creek bank, but
these were overcome, and by digging
much deeper than was at first thought
necessary, solid rock bottom was
found. The structure is now ready
for the iron. The injunction, + grant

ing the structure The proceedings
are of interest to a great number of
people who have bought lots in the

Dr. 5. w. Fletcher left today for
Buckhannon to attend a meeting OF
the State Horticultural Society. W.

Dr. Fletcher has recently returned

he spent week or two investigating

spring in the orchards in Kidding
them OF the San Jose scale. He
said today that the work was a
most gratifying success. From 80
to 80 per cent. OF the scale was de-
stroyed, and whatever failure there
had been was due to the fact that
the fruit growers had not carried
ont instructions to the letter. In
every case where instructions were
followed the spraying had been very
successful.
The spray used was the lime
sulphur combination strongly recon-
mended by the Experiment Station
1t caused no injury whatever to the
trees. Tho use of certain sorts of
crude oil had destroyed trees. The
work promises to be of inestimable
value to fruit growers.

his wife saw freight car jump The

tory TO bring sister of Mrs. Brand
home, But the Illness of John and
the sight of the box car striking off
into The woods were too much for the

telegram was sent to the sister that
she would have to come home by her
self. But the answer came back that
she was afraid to ride on the train

Brand and his wife did not know, and
they went home. They said they
would willingly lose the cost Of the

ter for Dim and Distant Future.
The B. & o. has about finished
its survey Of the Confluence branch.
The party oil engineers working to
the east of Morgantown has been
ordered to the west side of the river
and is now engaged in making a
survey from Fairmont to Washing
ton, Pa.
This will parallel the Wabash
through the rich coal fields from
Fairmont through to Pittsburg

as well as through Washington
county.
One of the engineers who has been
in close touch with the work says
that the Confluence branch If built
will not be built for the next five
years but that he expects the new
rival to the Wabash to go down as
soon as the Wabash gets its line
built.
He says that the Cohuence route
is much shorter than any other be
tween Wheeling AID Cumberland
but that it will be enormously ex
pensiye. The object in building a
line alongside the Wabash will APP
