For Pure Water at Ithaca.

"Ithacans hope to solve the typhoid fever
trouble that has caused so many deaths
there by municipal ownership Of the water
works." remarked G. J. Robinson of the
little New York city, where Cornell Uni
versity is located. to a Star man at the New
Willard this morning. 1T is believed that
under the control of the city more money
will be spent in purifying the water, and
that the best results will be had. While the
citizens generally were formerly opposed to
municipal control, the awful epidemic of
typhoid has changed public olsnion. The
trustees of Cornell University have offered
the city $4,000 for putting in filtration
plant. which is to be completed by the
opening of the college term next September
This plant is to be used for filtering all the
water from the streams that supply the
town people with the water they use In
addition to this. now that the situation is so
acute, 1t has about been determined that
the city shall sink large number of arte-
sian wells. This will necessitate building
large reservoirs, which 1t Is thought will
take several years. In the meantime the
hltration plant. it is believed, will greatly
relieve the situation and insure the health
OF the community"

Industries of the Northern Neck.

1--WE have in the northern neck of Vir-
ginia the largest fish factories in the
world said B. c. Mccoy of that section
of Virginia to Star man at the Raleigh

ming factories than any other section of
Virginia. and although John Randolph once
spoke of that section as the outside row.
the developments have been such that he
could not speak Of it thus slightingly to-
day. We are sadly handicapped for rail-
road facilities. but despite this the farmers
have made rapid strides. and the business
interests, helped by the large canning fac
tories, have grown to an enormous extent
If We had railroad no section of the old
dominion could hold candle to u.s."
