". & |. {. Denies That General Pol

Been Changed.
Great IMPROVEMENTS TO Be made.

The adjustment of differences be-
tween Wheeling & Lake Erie firemen
and trainmen and officials of that road
were taken up at a conference Monday
afternoon and will likely be closed
Tuesday evening. The meeting is o
winding up of matters connected with
the recent revision of the employees
rules and the readjustment of their
wage scale.
For sometime the report has been
current that trainmen and fremen's
examinations were determined upon
recognition. 1t was later announced
that the officials of the Wheeling, in
fact, OF the entire Gould system, hal
decided to change its policy and recog-
nize the trainmen's unions. The
meeting held Monday was designated
In certain quarters as the time for
the Inauguration of the new policy.
The employees named met with the
officials, however, as employees, ac-
cording to a statement sent out by
President Ramsey from st. Louis as
| follows:
Reports to the effect that the Wa
hash is changing its policy in the
matter of recognizing brotherhoods Il
union labor organizations are with

Wabash road and that of. the Wheel

stood for several years, they are al
wars ready to receive committees OF
employees as such"
| Col Myron T. Herrick. chairman OF
the board of directors of the Wheel
ing & Lake Erie railroad, referring to
the recent Wabash meeting in New
York, which he attended, said Mon
day:
Among the big improvements prac-
tically decided upon was the double
tracking of the Wheeling road east Of
Toledo and south from Cleveland. all
the way through. The business Of the
road has increased at such an enor-
nous pace that a double track line
has become a pressing necessity, and
the work will doubtless be started in
the near future.
Construction work on the Pitts.

to connect the Wheeling with the
Western Maryland road is being push

ed that much will be accomplished
within the next few months"

MAKING MONEY
BY HUNTING AND
TRAPPING GAME
Skunk Skins Of the Best
Quality Much In
Dem and.
many FOXES KILLED This WINTER.

Common, ordinary everyday skunk
skins, which, next winter will adorn
milady's coat or muff under the name
of mink or martin are worth from %
cents to $140 in the Canton market
and sons of the soil are finding skunk
hunting a more or less lucrative
pastime Just now. There are not
many skunks in Stark county. They
have passed on before the advance OF
the ak and the plough which have
turned their one-time burrows inside
out. But down in Holmes county and
in Tuscarawas county there are still
many of the odoriferous little animals
and their skins are marketed by hun
dreds every winter. A jet black skin
of the best quality is worth $3.50 in
the buyers market today. Others may
bring but half a dollar. 1t all depends
upon the color and size of the skins
and fur.
Muskrat skins more than the pelts
of any other fur-bearing animal arc
marketed in Canton. The present
season they are being trapped in con-
siderable numbers. There is not much
profit in them, however. At best they
arc small and unless of good quality
they do not bring over shilling
Some may sell for 10 cents and some
for but eight or ten cents. Properly
treated by the fur dealers muskrat
skins may pass for mink though the
skin of the latter animal is worth
several times as much.
Fox skins are not as valuable as a
good many people suppose. The Skin
OF common, red fox isn't worth ovei
81, and maybe not that much. Others
finely marked or of silver color
may bring as high as Sc or 81.
number Of foxes have been captured
in Stark county this winter. In ada
cent counties larger number ha
been killed. In parts Of Summit
county there has been complaint tha
foxes are so numerous that Who'll,
roosts of poultry have been killed an,
dozens of foxes have suffered the pen
