That's the Plan
OF the Local
Traction Co.

Superintendent Smith Hood is au.
thority for the statement that the To-
cal traction company is planning to
run car over the line from this city
to Clarksburg before the end Of the
present week. This can be done as
soon as the overhead wire is strung
and that will be accomplished before
many days. No other extension Of the
run will be made now until the cars
go from Gypsy clear into Clarksburg.
No date has yet been given out for
the first regular run between the two
cities, but 1t is the hope Of the COM
pany to be running by Christmas.
Some changes have come about in
local schedules by reason of the up
river extension, the chief one being
! the change Of time In the West Fair
mont service. Hereafter, there win
be a car every twenty minutes instead
| Of every fifteen as heretofore, and the
car VIII go to Bell Run station One

FOR W. VA.
BILL TO BE INTRODUCED IN THE
LEGISLATURE AT COMING
SESSION.

WHEELING, Dec. 1e-The persist
ent campaign to save West virgtnia's
cas- for West Virginia is to bear
fruit in a bill which will be submitted
Ia the legislature under the auspices
of the West Virginia State Board OF
Trade, and which will be prepared by
DR.. l. c. White, of Morgantown, the
State seologist, and who has been snx
ious for years to prevent the criminal
waste of the gas by operating compa'
ntes, tf he can not prohibit its exporta
tion.
Albert NJ. schenck, of Wheeling
president OF the Virginia Oil and Gas
Company, is going to lend his efforts
to secure the passage Of this or 8
kindred measure. Mr. schenk believes
in the theory that manufacturing in
dustries can be attracted to west Vir
glnla II they can't get the fuel plpet
to locations in other States.
The difficulty of getting a bill thai
VIII amply fit the case is admitted
for there are some fine points involv
ed, Two years ago the Maxwell-colf
bill came within an ace Of passage bu
met It's death on the final roundup.
