Last eveping the new Street car
No. 3 was already and started out
on Its trial trip about half past five.
Manager Miller kindly invited the
editor to 60 on the trial trip. Mil
ler Is very kind and cousiderate
gentleman. When he has a car to
try he always wants the editor
along. He thinks from the amount
of Oleomagerine that could be made
cut of our flesh In street car
wreck that he would know there
had beeu something wrong with
the car after we were properly
rendered up, so he always invites
as to make trial trips for him. We
had no trouble at all and the new
car runs like a Pullman Palace car
on the main branch of the Penn
sylvania railroad. This car was put
into service last night and did a nice
business. The car Is forty feet long,
with electric emergency breaks,
can be reversed In a second
so In case Of a runaway y
the motorman has three ways to
stop his car. 1t Is finished In curly
maple with electric bells, cane seats,
heated up with electricity under
each seat and can accommodate about
sixty passengers. Its an up to
date street car In every way and a
credit to our city. Car No. 2 Is being
connected up and will be ready to
run this evening. We now have two
cars running regular and you can
get a car now every half hour either
here or at Paden City.
President Watkins informed rs he
had long talk with Superintendent
c. E. Bryan, of the B. & o. who In
formed him he inte nded to fight the
street car company about the Wells
street crossing. President Watkins
says all his efforts to compromise
the matter have been with drawn
and he has instructed his attorneys
to 60 on with the legal contest and
get the law suit ended as soon as
possible. Its unfortunate the Street

NEW CAR RUNNING

car company did not put In the
crossing last spring but 1t was not
done and when it will Ue done now
we can't say. 1t may be In a short
time and 1t may be long time.
Ouere: In this fight where Is the
people of Sistersville to come In?
Have we no rights to protect? Can
the B. & o. run It's cars as 1t pleas
es or not? We hope the council
will get a move on 1t and protect
the people In their rights and en-
force the law.
President Watkins says the
street cars are doing at least three
times more business than he ex.
pected, which Is certainly very
encouraging news to report, be-
cause, 1t this road pays 1t means an
extension down the river and out
through the county and as to these
extensions there Is no doubt what
ever.
Yesterday Mr.. Behen informed
us his company sold ninety six lots
In Paden City. Up to last night
one hundred and sixty lots had
been sold and a majority of them
were fifteen hundred dollar lots.
Mr.. Behen was wearing a very
broad smile yesterday when the
total sales OF the day were handed
In to him. Today will be the big
day however and we would not be
surprised If thousand lots changed
hands by this evening. Last night
a big force of men were at work
paving Main street, grading Fourth
Avenue, laying board walks along
the side streets and everybody was
busy getting ready for the lot sale
today. Paden City Is the busiest
spot In the Ohio Valley. We figure
1t out that over three hundred mer
who live In this city are working al

s. 50 to S.. a day. When you
think of this pay roll, which Is only
one item Paden City is bringing tc
good old Sistersville, Is 1t any
wonder why our merchants report
business better than 1t ever was,
Paden City is booming and SO Is

PADEN CITY LOT SALE

The much advertised lot sale at
Paden City today was certainly a
success. By the noon hour there
was at the lesst FIVE thousand peo-
pie, men, women and children at
the new city. They were me silly
strangers who came on the regular
trains and the special trains from all
parts of the country for miles
around. While great many had
come simply out CT curiosity the
great majority of them were actual
buyers and the lot sale will be a
success. While a good many came
In from the country on horseback
and In carriages and many went up
on the street cars, still the crowd
from Sistersville and Tyler county
was not very large and but few
were buying lots.
The OK was roasted up on the
hill side above the street Car station.
Tables were placed around the OK
roast, many tin cups were used for
coffee, colored walters handed out
the beef, coffee and bread and the
place was we'll patronized. People
who INDUCED pronounced the beef
excellent.
The saloons did an immense
business all day long as did the
various refreshment stands where
sandwiches, coffee and beer was
sold. The street cars were loaded
both up aud coming down. By
noon people began to come down
to Sistersville and there has been
steady stream all afternoon and 1t
will continue until late tonight. It
has been a great day for the new
street car line.
When the trains came In loaded,
along with the crowd came a num-
Der of statesmen. Other salesmen
Joined the crowd at the depot and
soon the prospective buyer was ont
with the salesman with map In
his hands looking up lot. These
little crowds could be seen all day
long In all directions. When a lot

was sold the purchaser was taken
to the Office and the deal closed.
General Offices were located all
over the lots. The Parkersburg
Land company had tent up for
Its customers and they seemed to
be doing big business.
The comments ofthe people were
quite amusing. Some were knock
Ing" good and hard. The best thing
they could tell was "the lots are not
paid for" but that did not lasr long
as the vendors liens on the lots
were released yesterday and the re-
lease recorded. Others said 1t was
big bluff but that would not 60
because there has been too much
money invested for bluff" work
alone. So the kicker finally went
away and got all the free beef, hot
coffee and bread he could stuff In
his miserable inside and We hope 1t
will kill him dead. We desplse an
abomniable kicker and fault finder.
They do nothing themselves and
try to injure everybody else who
try to improve the world. May be

It Is too early as we go to press
this evening to give the totals of
the days sales. Yesterday exactly
o6 lots were sold, most of them
were the expensive ones. We pre-
dict FIVE hundred will be sold today.
It Is a great thing for our city. No
doubt whatever about this. 1t will
only be question of time until we
have a solid little city from Paden
City down to Sistersville. The
people who are buying lots have
never lived here. The money Is
not going away bat Is being
brought Into our neighborhood and
1t cannot do else than help as. It
was a great sight to witness the
sale today and one we shall never
forget. What brought this i'm
mense crowd to Padeu City? Just
good old printers Ink. You who
have land around Sistersville can
do the same thing with printers Ink.
