The Warrington Enterprise last
week called down some of the
"Smart alec" newspapers of the
state in their senseless criticism of
the Editorial Association for not
accomplishing needed good work
that has always been handicapped in
its march to the front by a few
bushwhackers who refuse to join the
ranks and drill with the organization,
but prefer to remain in the wilder
ness Of ignorance and shoot off their
little popguns promiscuously simply
because they like to hear the noise.
The Enterprise tells of the bills
introduced in the last Legislature in
an effort to secure needed news
paper legislation and how they fail
ed just like every other meritorious
measure before that body.

The long delayed and long looked
for minutes of the last session of the
State Editorial Association appear
ed last week and copies were receiv-
ed at this Office. They were printed
by Secretary, J. Bruce Hess of the
Warrington Enterprise and the job
is neat and creditable and our only
criticism is the inexcusable delay.
Bro. Hess partly explains it by the
statement that certain papers were
incorporated in the report we're
slow in coming in.

This month has been the busiest
and driest May that we ever re-
member of and all the weather
prophets have lied about the weather
this time sure. Even Prof. Hicks
is way off and missing it very badly
so far, as he had several rain storms
and heavy thunder showers schedul-
ed for May and not one of them has
showed up yet in this section. The
hay crop is a goner now, and oats
and pasture will be short if we do
not get rain soon.

SENATOR ELKlss
Starts the Boom at Masontomn.

Il
All arrangements have been per-
fccted for the big lot sale which
takes place on Saturday next at
Masontown. There is much interest
in the affair being taken in both
Preston and Monongalia counties
and there will be big turn out Of
representative people who realize the
future which Masontown will enjoy.
Many good things are in store for
the Deckers creek valley at whose
head Masontown stands. Every
day new factories and new industrial
concerns come to that section for
locations. During the past year a
score of such institutions nave
begun the installation of large works
which will employ thousands of men.
More of these are coming. Not
day passes but some one looks
over the ground and investigates the
peculiar advantages of this valley
which needs only to be visited and
inspected to make the capitalist
boomer of the country in question.
Senator Elkins with his usual fore
sight has been one of the first to
appreciate its advantages and his
heavy investments which are known
by every one in this state shown
how he has been impressed with the
resources of the country and the
money to be gained by investing in
them while they are low. In few
years the good things will all be
taken and will be beyond the man
with an average amount of money.
The lot sale at Masontown affords
an opportunity to the man with
small capital or a small amount of
money available for a sure and safe,
piOhtdDiC investment.
The sale is to take place on next
Saturday and at that time Is lots
will be sold. They lie between the
new coal works being installed by
Senator Elkins and the town of
Masontown. The lots will be sold
at the prices which will be put on
them by the bidders. There will be
no reservations and every thing will
go as the bids are recorded.
AT present it is very hard to get
realestate in the town as people who
live there are fully aware of the
splendid future in store for them and
they prefer to hold on and to share
in the good things to come.
The Morgantown Real Estate
company recognizing this condition
of affairs has arranged to hold lot
sale there at the date mentioned
above. The addition which they
will exploit belongs to Hon. Ii. A.
Hartley and others. The names of
the gentlemen who are behind the
plan are every guarantee that their
statements are to be given full
credence in relation TO the sale.
The terms on which the lots will
be sold are very liberal. They are
to be one third down and the rest in
one and two years.
Music will be furnished for the
affair by the University Band under
the leadership of Prof. Walter A.
Mestrezat who is in charge of the
band and of instruction on wind in
struments at the University.
Every one is cordially invited to
attend the sale and renew acquaint-
ances formed in Preston and
Monongalia. There will be a large
crowd and a pleasant time. The
sale begins at ten O'Clock on Satur-
day morning. An intermission of
one and one half hours will take
place at noon. The sale will be
ended as soon as the last lot is
disposed of.

NEW FLOATING BATTERY.
Anson Phelps Stokes, the Millionaire
and PhiIamt h rOpist, Invents
Coast Defense,

Arson Phelps Stokes, the millionaire
and philanthropist, has invented a
floating battery designed for coast de-
tense, 1t is spherical in form and re-
sembles in some respects the famous
Popoff and Novgorod of the Russian
navy. The battery is intended to be
constructed of steel and to carry two
guns OF large caliber or one great
gun. Smaller guns may be mounted
on an upper deck. Mr.. Stokes design
contemplates holding the gun rigid
They can be elevated or depressed only
by fitting the whole vessel by means
OF counterpoises.
Unlike the Russian batteries, Mr..
Stokes makes no provision for self-pro-
pulsion. The inventor claims that his
battery is economical in construction
and maintenance, of great power in Of
fensive operations, practically impreg-
nable and free from the disadvantages
attending previous designs of similar
character.
