Bridges
Accepted.

/
andoah river at Berry's and Cas-
tleman's Ferries have been finally
completed by the Nelson & Buch-
anan Company and turned over to
the County.
The necessary formality of ac-
cepting the bridges was performed
late Yesterday afternoon in the
Circuit Court Room. the entire
Board of Supervisors being pre-
sent.
In turning over the bridges to
the County, Mr. Basford took oc-
casion to make a few impromptu
remarks, in which he thanked the
Board. the different officials, and
through them everyone in the
County, for the uniform courtesy
and consideration with which he
had been treated. Mr.. Basford
has made many friends in the
County. and he will be welcomed
here at any time.
The remainder of the purchase
price of the bridges was ordered
paid over to the contractors.
The Bridge-Keepers were order
ed to begin the collection of tolls
ON the bridges at once.
Practically no other business
vas transacted ny the Board, in
addition to ordering the County
Levy published. The statement
will be seen in another column.
The work Of the Supervisors has
been very hard in the bridge mat
ter. and many anxious hours have
been spent 10y them since the bill
providing for the bridges was
finally passed by Hon. Blackburn
Smith in the House of Delegates.
Unavoidable delays have caused
the work 10 be thrown back Il
great number OF times, lack of
material. railroad wrecks,and many
other things have conspired to de-
lay the work since il was started.
The work of Col. II. \. Mari, of
Lexington. ably assisted by Mr..
Paul j. Thompson, of Summit
Point, a graduate of the Virginia
Military Institute, of Mr.. Il. y.
BaSford, representing the contrac-
tors, and of every employee upon
the work has been most praise
worthy, and their combined efforts
have given the County two hand
some structures over the Shenan-
doah.
First, the people should feel
grateful to Hon. Blackburn Smith
FOR his efforts in the Legislature.
Second, the people should deep
~ appreciate the work done 10y
commemorative Attorney Lewis
and Hon. \. Moore, Jr., after the
bridge case was taken into court.
Third, the people should under
stand and realize the worry and
trouble which the Board of Super-
viSors have endured because of
the delays.
Fourth. vote of thanks should
be rendered to every person who
helped in any way to bring about
the contamination of the wishes
and expressed desires of the peo-
pie Bridges.

Death Of Walter B. Richards.

The people of our community
were startled to read in the daily
papers on Thursday morning last,
that Walter b. Richards, of War
rem county, had died of peritonitis
the preceding day. That the Grim
Reaper loves shining mark is
again shown by his untimely death.
1t was just few days ago that he
was in our midst, the picture of
health and happiness. 1t was just
few days gone by that he was
here on business, meeting his many
friends, and giving them the cor
dial greeting that was his wont;
and now he is no more.
1t was the writer's privilege to
have long drive with Mr.. kich-
ards, during the campaign Just
ended, and never did he spend a
more pleasant hour. A brilliant
conyersationalist, he entertained
us splendidly. Eloquentand chaste,
he was fast establishing for himself
reputation as an orator, and as a
convincing speaker and lawyer his
ability was recognized. He made
the impression upon all who came
IN contact with him, that here was
4 man who was the embodiment
of every quality that goes to make
up a type of perfect and happy
manhood.
\ man of scholarly attainments,
he at one time held a prominent
position in McCabe's University
School at Petersburg. mt the time
so many young men of Virginia
were successfully prepared at that
Institution for the prosecution Of
higher studies in the advanced
schools of the country. Again he
held prominent educational posi-
tons i'm the State of Missouri.
Later on we find him successful
lawyer in his native County, being
the Junior member of the firm OF
Downing & Richards, with Offices
at Front Royal. No man had a
higher stand in his native County
than did he, and no man had
warmer friends who will miss him
more as time goes by. His many
friends in Clarke regret his un-
timely taking off.

We learn that Mr.. and Mrs.
Richards went TO the Episcopal
Church Sunday morning and
before the service was over
he was taken whit violent
pain in his stomach. Upon re-
turning home he at once sent for
DIR. NJ. l.. Garrison, who tried
everything possible to relieve him
of this pain, but with no success.
"Wednesday Drs. Love and Miller.
Of Winchester, were summoned.
After seeing the patient they de-
cided that nothing could be done
and it would only be few hours
before he would pass away. At
last the end came at two o'clock.
His sister, Mrs. j. j. Reardon,
of Baltimore, reached his bedside
two hours before he died. As soon
rs he saw her the dying man threw
his arms around her and said in
low tones: Il am so glad that YOU
have come to bring me through. =
He seemed To know everything
that went on around him until a
few minutes before the last, when
Mrs. Reardon noticed a change and
Immediately called Mrs. Richards,
who took him in her arms. As
she did this, he looked into her
face, smiled and turned over dead.
Mr.. Richards is survived by his
widow, who was Miss Cooke. of
Petersburg, Va, and two sons,
Harrison and Neville, ages - and
II years, respectfully.
He was a picture of health and
was about ~ years old. His face
had ruddy glow and his quick
step showed his strength and
spirits.
The remains were removed to
his old home, Riverside, T." near
Riverton, Va, and the funeral
services were held at the house at
2 o'clock Friday afternoon. His
pastor, Rev. Thomas G. Page, Off
ciated.
Messrs. Conrad Kownslar, a,

Blackburn Smith of this place, at
tended the funeral, and Governor

we stated that at the least compu-
tation $4,000 was taken out OF the
valley every year for -four and 9th
er millstuffs. Since then num-
Der of our citizens have told us that
this figure is far too low, and the
amount sent out for -four, ETC., is
estimated by them at from $4,000
to as high as $4,000. There now
seems to be probability of a flour
mill being put in near Crawford,
and whichever of these figures is
correct large sum of money Will
be kept in the valley when, we get
mill, that now goes out for flour.

Fires in the timber continue, sew
eral fresh ones having been started
recently. They are doing consider
able damage besides filling the air
so full of smoke that occasionally
the distant mountains are hidden
by it. We dare say that many OF
these fires are either wilfully caused
or are due to gross carelessness,
the object sometimes being to make
travel in the mountains easier. A
forest ranger in this part of the
state could have apprehended the
guilty parties in nearly every case
where fire has been started, and
with few drastic examples of the
laws power in such matters these
forest fires would soon cease.

CAN WAGES BE MADE?

The P. & /. N. railway company
has been advertising for some
weeks for men and teams to work
on the extension, but have not yet
succeeded in getting anything like
the number they wish to employ.
We inquired of some of our settlers
if the wage offered was fair, and
was told it was not, as oats were so
high in price that man and team
could not make wages, and besides
the cost of feeding the team there
was the wear on harness and horses
and occasional shoeing of the latter
to be considered. Wishing to put
the matter straight before our read
ers we wrote Manager Heigho and
the following is his reply:
Weiser, Ida., August II, 1905.
Editor LONG VALLEY ADVOCATE.
Dear Sir:-Replying to yours Of
August 18th. The company has
not handled any oats as yet, but |
understand that teamsters are pay
ing $1.3O per hundred pounds for
oats, and $3.50 per ton for hay, and
figuring at the rate of rs pounds of
hay and 80 pounds of oats per day,
per team, it costs about 60 cents
day to feed team. The company
is boarding teamsters and other la
borers at SIS per week, or they can
board themselves, this being option
al with them, and figuring board
on basis of So per week, it makes
total cost for Transfers board and
feed of team about $1.35 per day.
This, / think, will be reduced mat
erially as farmers are threshing in
this country and the price of oats
will come down considerable.
Yours truly, E. M. HE1GHo.
General Manager.
We are all anxious to see the
work progress as rapidly as possible
on the extension, and once the rush
of harvest work is over many of
our ranchers would no doubt work
on the grade provided they were
fairly paid. The price of oats, as
quoted by Mr.. Heigho, is not SO
high as we had been led to believe,
and they will probably be lower
now as it is week since the letter
was written. The price of hay ap-
pears high and we should suppose
it could be bought cheaper at 0,
near Council.
