RIVER FALLING

The stage at the Wheeling
wharf last evening was l foot 9
inches and falling. This is the
lowest stage of the season, and
it is believed that there will be
a strenuous time with the river
trade during the next week. 1t
is likely that all the packets will
be compelled to suspend further
operations, and 60 to the bank
until the fall rise.

GOVERNOR KNOCKS PROPS.

Those who undertake to justify
the reassessment act of the re-
cent extra session insist that to
assess property at it's actual value
will not increase taxation, be-
cause they say that it will lower
the rate, and that only the same
amount of money will be neces-
sary. They will not concede
that one of the main purposes OF
all this so-called tax reform, is to
increase the revenue of the State.
We have even heard it maintain
ed. that we have sufficient moneys
under the present system to run
the State government, and that
the only object Of this so-called
reform is to more equally distrib-
ute the burden of government,
and not to raise more money.
Governor White knocks the
props from this claim in his
message to the Legislature OF
1903. On page II of his message
he says that it is necessary to OBJ
tain more revenue for State pur-
poses; and he speaks of the fact,
that the resolution of 1901, pro-
viding for tax commission, had
for it's principal object the IN
creasing of the State revenues.
When you hear our Republican
friends asserting that we have
revenue enough, and the tax re-
form policy is not to increase the
revenues, simply refer him to
"The First Biennial Message OF
Governor Albert B. White, to the
Legislature of West Virginia;
session of 1903" 1t will do the
talking.

On the oath of October, 1903,
Governor Albert B. White made
an elaborate address at Wheel
ing on the subject, Proposed
Tax Reform. The speech con-
tains nearly twenty-six pages. 1t
has been largely distributed
among the people and read by
them. On page 20 the Governor
makes a strong appeal for tax
in oil and gas, and on page q
he urges that coal be taxed. 1t is
strange that all the delegates at
the Republican State convention
should completely forget this I'M
portant matter. 1t is remarkable
that the measures relating to
taxation, which have been pre-
pared by a committee of leading
citizens, and placed in the hands
of the Governor" did not impose
a tax on coal, oil and gas. 1t is
worthy of notice that the mem
bers of the recent extra session
did not recall the subject at all.

Many oil wells are shut down
on account of the scarcity of Wa
ter. Many drillers are home,
having been thrown out of work
on account of the scarcity of wa
ter. Even pumping wells are diff
fcult to keep going on account
of the lack of water to supply
the boilers.

A rain is badly needed in this
county. The ground is so hard
and dry the farmers cannot pillow
for their fall sowing of wheat,
and the fall pastures are all being
burned out. The dust is getting
to be almost unbearable. We need
a good soaking rain for day or
two at least.

THE WEARING OF RIBBONS.

Ribbon is more in request than it has been fora some time. Favor is almost exclusively reserved to the very light est makes of taffetas in plain or glace shades, and with an almost impercep- tible border. Setting aside those of narrow widths required for making ruchings as described. I find the de- mand to be mostly for three, four and fiVe-inch ribbons. These medium widths are made up into different kinds of bows. These are generally composed of as many short ends (snipped in vandykes) as loops, and are not over large, so that half a dozen may be easily used for the trim ming of a broad brimmed hat set about in the different parts of it, join ed one to the other by folded strap of the ribbon. The widest widths are for draperies or to band round crowns. Similar bows are also made to trim sailors and other small hats and toques, as are small wings and short, broad couteauX, both of which are, more often than not matched to the straw, whether this be self-colored, shaded or in mixed tints. Hardly any of the new models show aigrettes, although these are likely to be worn for some time longer, par ticularly on matinee and other full dress hats. Orders for ostrich have fallen off very considerably. but this it is understood to be cnly momentary depression, for. although flowers are to be the chief decoration Of spring hats, it is more than likely that ostrich plumes will be to the fore again at midsum- mer.-Millinery Trade Review.

BADSTORM
White Pass Swept by North
 Gales

Never in the history of the White Pass railroad has a worse wind storm been encountered along the line of the road than that which prevailed yester- day. That is the story that comes down from the summit from the sturdy men who are manning the rotary and trains that had Co fight for every inch of headway that was made. From Gle cier to Bennett the drifts and new snow had buried the track from 8 to l5 feet tn depth.
 However notwithstanding the fierce ness with which the elements battled with thoso engaged in moving trains, che latter have come oh victorious The train from Whitehorse will arrive at Skagway about 3:30 o'clock this morning. The train was held at Ben nett for the train from Skagway, which was preceded by rotary. It was not uI 8 o'clock in the afternoon that the uorth-bouud train reached the summit and it was hours afterward before it go, to Bennett
