viii They be Good!

Augusta county boomers have
persistent. They have spent their
money lavishly and have refused to
bow down in defeat although sue
cessfully repslsed on many bard
fought field. But they have received
blow from which they will have
trouble to rally.
The United State Geological Sur
vey has made survey of the area
of the various counties from which
tits proposed to take territory TO
formsAugusta county. This survey
shows that but one county of the
four is over 400 square miles in area
and this one has but l6 more miles
than that limit.
As the constitution requires 400
miles to be left to every county after
any territory is taken frem it to
form a new county the objection
which has been so often urged
against the new county becomes re
doubled in weight.
1t is all up with Augusta unless
the constitution shall he changed.
The effort to change this will start
scraps in other parts of the state so
that Others who don't care much
about The old fight will be drawnin-
to the new one.
To those who have fought so val
iently for Augusta we can say that
they deserve credit for their intrepid
courage but to persist longer will be
little removcI from madness and
they can TO longer even hope for
success.
The Augusta county matter is
closed Il its adherents are to -ecog.
nize the logic of events.

SENECA FULL
No More Blowers Wanted at
That Factory at Present.

Twenty Men Engaged In Blowing
Glass-EcOnomy Office Force Deny
Kumers-Unien Officials Says He il
well Satisfied with Conditions-Oth.
or Glass Notes.
With three blowers who went lo
work in the Seneca yesterday, four
others went back to work. They
are employed in other than the
blowing department Their names
are Leroy Brothers, John Schenk
and E. Gaschler Jr. The Sene a
management states that it is now
full as far as the blowing room is
concerned and no more men will be
emplyed at present.
A report has been current that
several workmen at the Economy
have been given their weeks notice
This is denied by the factory man
agement Another eport that the fac.
tory is shortly to run union is
laughed at by the office force. "There
is hardly any use Of denying the re
port" said one of the men asked.
eve will never run unipn."
Fred Bishop who is head of the
local union was asked about the de-
sertion and said that while the union
regretted the loss of the three men
who had gone to work yet they
thought that out of a mem bership
of $50 the loss OF three men would
hardly have any effect on the strike.
He says that the union is in better
spirits than it has been in the past
three months.
This is particularly true of the
situation at the Economy where
there is said to be some friction and
some OF the men are preparing to
quit.
w. j. Croke vice president of the
a. +. G. w. U. has been here to in
vestigate conditions and he returned
home expressing his satisfaction
with the way things are going.
The local union has decided to
drop further proceedings in the in
junction case. They had thought
of appealing it to the Supreme Court
but after decided to let it stand as il
has no effect on them. The expenses
were thought too high to justify the
expenditure in face of any advan.
tage which might accrue from a sue
eessful fight. The national orgapi-
cation was willing to fight 1t but the
local men opposed this plan.
1t is said that the only objection
which has been raised to the injunc-
ton is from law abiding citizens
who intend to obey the laws and who
don't like to lie under an injunction
which compels them to do this.
Nothing further has been heard
of Victor Viol who was thought to
have been one of the victims of the
Dawson wreck. There is nothing
about him in the trade papers. The
national officers have learned moth
ing. His wife at Cumberland has
not been heard from. A letter has
been sent to her but no reply has
been received. Other efforts will be
made to locate him.

INEXPENSIVE ESCAPES

Mayor w. c. McGrew's inspection
Of the opera house has convinced him
that. the building can be provided
with adequate fire escapes at small
expense. His inspection was not
made in company with Solicitor Beall,
who Is member OF the committee
appointed for the purpose by the city
council. What he has to say is there
fore not official 1t is, however, none
the less interesting To features of the
play house.
Mayor McGrew is Of the opinion
that two iron balconies should he
built the full leugthof the front the Of
building. One of these should be
Just beneath the upper windows, az
fording exit from the rear of the gal
lery and the other should be just be-
low the Flower windows, affordlng exit
from the rear end OF the front floor.
THESE two balconies should be con
nected by iron stairways leading TO
the stress. With door way cut, or
windows enlarged properly. this
would allow great many people to
get out.
Mayor McGrew also found that
there is an exit just 10 front of the
stage. This is at the bottom OF the
stairway leading from the gallery on
the inside of the building. 1t leads
TO the hall on the ground floor ex-
tending the full length OF the build.
ing on the east side. The openin
has been covered with loose boards,
and several members of the orchestra
sit on it during the performances.
Major McGrew thinks this exit
should be used at all times by the
people in tina gallery. The audience
can be admitted by the stairway or
dinarlly used. When the perfor.
nance is ended, they should be sen,
out by the stairway on the east side
OF the building. In this manner they
would not interfere with the exit OF
the audience down stairs.
The windows in the rear or the
stage open on the roof OF Chad S
store, and the players would not have
any trouble getting out IN this man-
ner. Windows IN the dressing rooms
afford easy exit to the ground
The changes suggested could be made
at small expense, and It is likely that
council will pass an order requiring
some such provision.

A BIG PICTURE.
Queen Quality Shoe Factory ATTRACTS
Lots of Attention-ln HirschmaIl's
Window.

The big picture in Hirschman's
window entitled the "Home Of the
Queen Quality Shoe" is attracting a
good bit of attention. 1t is side
visw of the big factory in Boston, one
of the biggest in the world, and
the details stand out with
remarkable clearness. The brick
walls are partly covered with climbing
vines, a feature seldom seen in con-
nection with factories. A thousaad
or more of the $500 employees are
seen at the windows At night the
picture is illuminated by electricity,
which seems to shine from the factory
windows. Few beople pass the store
without stopping to gaze at it.
