WANT INDEPENDENT LINE.
TELEPHoNE COMPANY ORGArrzEp
IN JEFFERsoN COUNTY.
Business Men and Farmers Have Been
Given Franchise ny the


County Court.
The jefferson County court has
granted u franchise to an independent
telephone company composed Of farm
ers and business people of jefferson
county, which has been in process Of
formation for several weeks, and
which evidently means business with
vengeance. One of the provisions of
the franchise Ia that the company
cannot charge more than s1S per wear
for residence phones aud s24 for busi.
ness houses, violation OF this clause
subjecting the company to heavy
penalty.
The promoters of the company have
invited many farmers and business
men in the eastern and southeastern
portion of Berkeley county to join tie
movement, and it is reported In Mar
tinsburg today that the new company
has already received assurances of
support from number of patrons of
the other companies, on the ground
that the new company will furnish
phone service at mnch smaller rate.
The movement is said to be the re-
suit OF widespread dissatisfaction in
Jefferson county with the tolls of the
other companies doing business In that
section. and the fact that enough peo-
pie have been found to organize the
new company seems to lend color to
the report. The matter is vet in it's
preliminary stages, and future devel-
opments will be watched with great
deal of interest in this whole section.

EXTRA SESSION At AN END.

Charleston, March 2.-The extra SEES.

appropr aLions. which were materially
reduced III many instances to permit
the appropriations to come with the
amount of state revenue, which, under
the new assessment law, will be some
thing of problem for months vet.
The amended bill was up in the
honse all day, and made such slow
progress that 1T looked for a time as if
the session could not be concluded last
night. There were several debates on
minor points and pet measures. all of
which finally got through.
Two additions for next year made
in the senate and left IN the bill by
the conference committee. consisted
of the provision Of IS. 600 for battle
monument at Point Pleasant and
81, $50 for monument to be erected at
Shepherdstown in honor of the men,

the steamboat.
A great deal of disappointment is
expressed by those interested in the
item for the appropriation fer the
Rumsey monument. At the outset
this sum of $1,000 was asked. but as
time passed it became a question
whether anything could be secured.
Tie item for $l.750 was inserted ut
the last moment when the bill was
up for passage in the senate, and it
was allowed to pass uDcballenged bv

TOURIST VISITORS.

Denver. August July has been
the banner month for tourists.
Not since the tourist business be-
gan in Denver has there been such
a record made in visitors. Every
hotel man in the city testihes to the
record made during the month which
ended yesterday. It has been the
best July in the history of the hotel
business in the state.
There is some anxiety felt among
hotel men lest the city places OF
entertainment may not be adequate
for the tourist travel for the rest of
the season, unless a way is devised
to enlarge the capacity of the city's
hostelries. With the coming of the
Eagles and the G. a. r. and several
smaller conventions during this
month. ii is believed the capacity of
the Denver hotels will be taxed to
the utmost. a committee of hotel
men will be called together to make
estimates on the attendance and de
termine if it will be necessary to
take steps to provide unusual facil-
tiles for handling the crowds.
The railroads are rcaping a har-
vest of business. The Monat road
reports a business that Is without
parallel in the railroad annals OF the
country for a new road. Its object
has been to secure business that
would make it known in every sec
tion of the country by being talked
about when the tourists return home.
This the conventions have enabled it
to do and IL is rapidly becoming one

Washington, Aug. Japan comes

GRAFTON in here demands of Rus

British government in its apparently
unalterable determination to stand
by Japan however severe she makes
her conditions of peace. Nor has
the British government seen its way
clear to render assistance to Wash

eminent is making to obtain an ar

Advices reaching here show that
London is opposed to an armistice
until Japan has been satisfied that
Russia's plenipotentiaries are pre-
pared to do more than discuss means
of ending the war; If Russia is ready
to conclude peace and has so em-
powered her plenipotentiaries, Great

THE WATER QUESTION.
(Fruita Alail.)

Dear Sir:-I learn that Fruita is
investigating the feasibility of pro
curing a supply of water for domes-
tic purposes on Pinon Mesa. |
would like to encourage the enter
prise and wish TO say that there is
nothing your town can do that will
add so much to its prosperity and
while rural communities and small
towns hesitate about mourning debt.
Fruita, situated as it is, can afford
to go to the extreme limit of indebt-
edness to get good mountain water
/ assisted the town of Grand juno
tion in investigating the Pinou Mesa
supply, and while il was thought too
limited for a place that expected TO
become a city, ! have no doubt you
can find enough to Justify your build
ing and for all your needs for many
years to come. especially If you build
only for domestic purposes and not
for sprinkling lawns.
One Gu. II. per sec. or 3S.4 inches
will furnish G4S,0O0 gallons every "a
hours. or so gallons per capita for
say 1900 people. This Is as much
as some cities use for all purposes,
and certainly would be enough for
domestic purposes alone Where
there are large manufactures, or
where there is heavy sprlnkling of
lawns and gardens, It runs up to 200
or 500 gallons per capita; but that
YOU need not have with you, as You
could still use the bitches to irrigate
with. The water of Pinon Mesa is
of the very best pure and soft. If
necessary you could build some res
ervoirs for storage cheaply and have
a good supply at all seasons, perhaps,
from two to three springs that can be
found there.
Yours truly,
