Gov to the foot of Main street
and then the, company will ask
for right Of way up Main street
and if that is not granted the
road will terminate at the foot Of
Main street until a Council is
elected that will grant the COM
pany franchise. This route
saves the company in rights OF
way and other expenses the snug
sum of $4,000. We hope the Ceun.
ell will grant the Main street
right of way. 1t will parallel
Main, and in doing so puts every
business house on Wells street
equal distance from the line,
while the other route does not do
so. Let's have the railroad. 1t
will do the people more good in

do for us in fifty years.

THE TAX COMMISSIONER.

Was the price paid by Mr.. Daw-
son for his election to the corpor-
ate interests of West Virginia the
appointment of Charles W. Dillon
as Tax Commissioner? This is the
question that in some degree ex-
cites unfavorable comment today
throughout the State of West
Virginia, by the announcement
coming from Charleston that the
Fayette county man has been de-
termined upon.
The story is told, which has
been common property for weeks
past, that some days prior to the
election a deal was entered into
with the Standard Oil company
and the great Steel trust, which
controls the Fiat Top coal region,
and various other monied inter-
ests, which were affected through
the enactment of the tax laws at
the special session last summer,
by which they practically named
the Tax Commissioner in lieu of
their support for the Republican
candidate for Governor. The APP
pointment Of Mr.. Dillon substan-
tiates the allegations beyond per
adventure, and the Republican
party today is treated to a fine
example of the trading process on
the part of gentlemen who espous-
Sistersville daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1902-1905, 1904-11-30

ed tax reform to the limit, and
who evidently colluded with the
very corporations they feigned to
be fighting.
Mr.. Dillon is mediocre lawyer
who practices in a county motor
ious for the number of murders
that are committed, and equally
notorious for the grasp that cor
porations have upon it's interests
and it's people. There is nothing
particularly commendatory n the
personality of the appointee,
which should raise him so far
above other Republicans in West
Virginia, as to reward him with
this munifcent office created os-
tensibly for the purpose OF bring
ing about an equality Of the tax
system.
Mr.. Dillon was prosecuting at
,torney for one term, but was de-
feated for reelection in a county
that usually rolls up from 1000
to 5000 plurality for the Republi-
cans. This in itself indicates that
Fayette county was not so well
pleased with his services as to
continue him in office. But, that
has little to do with the case.
The question is: Did the tax re-
formers clay down. to the Stand
ard Oil company, to the Steel
trust, to the railroads and to the
coal companies, in order to elect
Mr.. Dawsong
If they did, then there is no
such thing as tax reform, because
if this combination controls the
Tax Commissioner, they will not
permit him, nor his assistants, to
do their duty.

FRANCHISE GRANTED.

The City Council Monday night
after adding a number of amend
ments to the ordinance, granted
the Parkersburg & Ohio Valley
Railroad company a right OF way
into the city. The track is to be
laid up Brown Betty street to Dla-
mond; thence down Diamond
street to Main; thence down Main
to Charles and out that street to
Brown Betty, making a complete
loop. The amendment the COM
pany objects to is one requiring
the cars to run into the city alter
mating, that is, one car to go up
the route above named and the
second car to come in on Charles,
up Main, out Diamond and down
Brown Betty, the other to 60 up
Brown Betty, down Diamond and
SO on. The reason for this change
is. so far as we can learn, to make
harmony between the saloons on
Diamond and Charles street.
Both saloon interests want the
cars to run in on the streets on
which their respective saloons are
located, so they will have the first
chance to sell the thirsty people
a drink. What a great, glorious,
broad-minded object this is. Sure
ly, the Council must have been
dreaming to allow such an object
to stop the building of a great
railway, but whatever was the
reason the facts are this is what
caused the change to be made, to-
wit: 10 please the dl1fefenC Sd
loon factions!
The company will not accept
the franchise. The company ex-
poets in time to run through cars
to Wheeling, and it cannot afford
to be tied up with such silly or
der as to run it's cars to please the
saloons of Sistersville. The fran
chise will not be accepted, and
the company will now change it's
route, crossing to the foot of Main
street in Gerry Owen, it will come
up the old county road known as
Wells lane, over which the COM
pany has a right of way to the
top of the hill, thence by trestle-
work across the land of II. w. Nc

From all parts of the country
come reports of scarcity of wa
ter. Wells in this immediate To-
cality that were never before
known to fail are now dry, which
is due to the long continued
drought. The situation has reach
ed serious proportions, not only
in this State, but in numerous
other States as well. In many Of
the interior counties of this State
water is being hauled for miles
for family use, and farmers in
many sections are obliged to drive
their stock for miles to creeks.

WRECK
BLOCKED
TRAVEL.

The necessity of providing some means
for getting around the narrow gut be-
tween the Gladstone avenue and Smith
street bridges. and the advisablity of
constructing a tunnel under Prospect hill,
was emphasized this morning.
At hearing held in Pawtucket yes
terday the suggestion was advanced that
by a slight accident, involving no ma
terial loss OF property and no sacrifice OF
life, the entire railroad service between
this city and Boston might be made In
operative.
Such a mishap would be disadvan-
tageous to Pawtucket, as the ue-up
would affect the delivery OF freight mat
imperative need.
IL there was a tunnel no mix-up north
of Smith street could deprive Pawtucket
OF steam railroad facilities.
The expected happened today and In
this way.
At GAS o'clock a switching engine. hav-
ing I'm tow half-dozen empty box cars,
moved from a siding toward the centre OF
the city.
one OF the oars In tho middle of the
train jumped the tracks and pulled an
other after IL.
The two jumped about for few seconds
and then settled down at right angles
with the rails.
The RESULT
Every train--New York mail, steamboat,
fast freight, accommodation in and out
and way freight was held up.
The blockade was as complete as though
planned by Hobson for a ships channel.
The debris was not removed from one OF
the tracks until o'clock and the en-
barge was not completely raised until af-
ter 10 o'clock.
Had there been the tunnel Pres. Mellen
is now asking for and which the Paw
tucket city council proposes to combat In
the general assembly, no delay would have
resulted In either the freight or passen-
ger service.
