WILL U o
keyser Is Greatly Pleased to Hear
the Announcement.

KEYsER, w. Va, July 26.-Keyser
people are rejoicing over the good
news received here recently that the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad com.
pany would replace the large car re.
pair shops which were destroyed by
fire about a month ago.
AT the time of the fire the prevail.
ing opinion in Keyser and vicinity
was that the shops would be rebuilt at
another point, which would be the
cause Of at least a third of the popu.
lation leaving for lack OF employment.
II has been given out on good author.
ity that work on the shops will be.
gin in a short time and before long
a bigger and better shop will be
ready for occupancy.
During the present good weather
a large number of men are employed
on the outside and cars are rebuilt
and painted in the open air.
The shops are Keyser's main
standby and should they be taken
away the town would lose its chief
industry. And for this a there
is little wonder that the people are
rejoicing over the fact that the shops
will be rebuilt.

TROUBLE AHEAo.

The Grant district bcardfp f educa-
ton is not the only ieyyfng body
which IS likely to have trouble because
of the attempt to raise too much
money this year. A request from the
Attorney General of the State has
reached the county clerks ONCE ask
ing a statement Of each district In the
county az to the amount Of valuation,
rate Of levy and amount OF money
raised last year and a like statement
for this year. This has to be certi.
fed to the Attorney General and II
any tax levying body has overstepped
the bounds, prompt action win like
ly be taken TO prohibit the collection
of n sum exceeding last years amount
by i've per cent. From present indi.
cations several of the districts will
come In for an overhauling and the
people will not be sorry, for each
such movement means lower taxes.
Each school district In the county re-
ported a balance In both teachers and
building funds this year, so five per
cent. more money than was raised
last ear ought to be amply sufficient
for this years needs. We do not
know of any new school houses being
built in the country districts and the
teaching force will not be much, II
any. larger than last year. Teachers
wages have not been materially in
creased, then why the demand for
more money? 1t might be well for the
tax levying bodies to keep an eye to
the reports of the assessors and make
the REIMBURSEMENT before being asked
to do SO by the State authorities. This
is offered as a suggestion and we think
Il worth consideration. &

MAYOR DUNE
REFUSES TO MAKE PUBLIC THE
REPORT or MR. DALRYMPLE
WHICH rs GIVEN HERE
IN PART.
(By Publishers' Press.)

CHICAGO, Ill, July z6.-Although
Mayor Dunno refuses to make public
the contents of the report OF James
Dalrymple, Of Glasgow. who inspect.
ed this city's street railway system
with a view Of advising the officials
upon municipal ownership plans, It is
declared that an article on Chicago in
the London Tarmway and Railway
WorlI gives the essential features Of
his report. In this article Dalrymple
says in part:
Il would be much astonished II the
city could afford to purchase the un
dertaking, including the value of the
unexpired franchises.
THE city council is a very able and
intelligent body, but IL it went in for
municipal ownership 1t would have to
eliminate the political element.
IF Americans Cod eliminate their
present method of political influence
they would quickly make a considera.
BILE advance in municipal affairs.
They have a large number of bogus
claims for alleged accidents because
a street railway company can never
get Justice from an American jury.
"The discipline of the employees is
not quite SO good as here. They are
more SO thoroughly organized, are a
bit more Independent and on the
whole have got more power than they
ought to have"
An informant who would not allow
his name to be used, made public the
gist Of the Dalrymple report yester.
day. He said the Scotch expert could
not bring his mind to a condition that
would lead him to recommend imme-
date municipal ownership in Chicago
under the present labor and political
conditions.

ITALIAN IMMIGRATION.
Continued from page So

Gated man or gentleman, you may at
that moment close the utility of the
agent to us. Of course if the agent has
a host of friends in authority who
know him personally, his peculiarities
and lack of tact in that instance
might be unnoticed.
The fourth consideration is self-evi-
dent, because if you do not fulfil your
pledges to the letter, you naturally be-
come persona non grata to the author
tiles, and the whole business viii SUI
fer in consequence.
The fifth consideration is a necessity
in the whole program, because, with
out the aid of the government agents,
you will be continually bucking
against a stone wall and the ultimate
result would be an utter failure.
With these few explanations I hope

COFFEE IS
LOOKING Up
Worlds Supply Largely
Decreased.-Br
Holds Back.

Willett & Gray, New York, June 90
say Of the coffee markets:
The coffee markets are still going
through the quiet period usual at this
time, and as our markets will be clos
ed from July LIST to 5th, holiday dull
ness prevails. It is very noticeable
that the European and Brazil markets
hold firm, Europe because Of the fur
Their large decrease of stocks, and Bra
zil because of higher exchange and
unwilIingness of holders to give way.
Reports from Europe show that dealers
there must buy soon. no matter what
the price, as they have not enough
trading assortments. Brazil is aware
of this, and it furnishes the best rea-
sons for holding firm, not to mention
the Improbable currency basis. The
regular deliveries from the seaports in
Europe show the absolute necessities
of consumption and point to the prob
ability of heavy buying in Brazil as
new coffees come down, if only, to
maintain supplies. This is an import
ant feature and should be worthily
considered. The American visible sup
ply is working down and buyers from
this side are obliged to enter the Bra
I'll markets for better supplies of COM
mercial and selected coffees. Good
parcels Of old crop, good roasting San
tos, are scarce, and Santos exporters
demand high prices. It is significant
also that new crop coffees are offered
only sparingly. Some limitations are
made that the yield causes much dis
appointment and other parties begin to
confirm a smaller Santos crop than
hitherto estimated.
It is well known consuming markets
must buy freely. They can only do so
in Brazil, as the Mild crops are about |
finished. Brazil is well informed as |
to this and seems prepared to stand up
for a price, and waiting buyers should |
Idh0 uScQ " dNdl u present low /
before an advance should come |
as natural result of competition. The |
new crop is but moderate when looking |
at the worlds constantly increasing !
The current crop finishes 10 million |
bags in Rio and Santos. Apart from |
the decrease of about 1500 600 bags in |
the worlds visible (the Bremen stock |
was not included year ago. for the |
crop year, heavy shrinkage has oc-
CURED in invisible supplies. Similar !
decreases are certain until Brazil can |
give larger crops. but existing condi-
tions of plantations, labor and price |
are against it.
No. Rio at 73-4c. store terms is
cheaper here than it can be replaced |
from Brazil, while Rio and Santos No.
4 coffee commands lac, and a premi- |
UNI on that for good selections.
