/. senator Scott. OF West Virginia,
returned TO Washington on Monday
from a trip to the Pacific coast
which extended from Southern Cali.
fornia TO Northern Washington state,
and eastward 10 Utah and Colorado.
Since congress adjourned. the last day
Iof June, he has spent "a hours 10
West Virginia. The trip was taken
primarily for rest, but politics broke
| IL up little. Last week he made a
speech at Colorado Springs to con.
vention which instructed the dele.
gates chosen by it TO vote for his
lsohoolmate, Ralph Stewart, for the
domination for governor.
Il expect the west to return repub.
liean majorities almost as great AZ
those OF two years ago, said the sen.
ator during the course of talk on
political conditions. Utah is the
only spot in which there appears
TO be any trouble. The. Mormon
question always creates a condition
that will not be measurable by thS
ordinary rules for ascertaining the
probable result of political canvass.
THE far west is just as prosperous
as any other part OF the county.
Crops are enormous The only trouble
is the lack of men to gather them.
The west is Sc badly off for men &c
do work OF that kind that the soldiers
| up in Washington were given two
days furloueh so as to enable them
TO hire out TO the farmers who
wanted their wheat cut.
But the western farmers are not
the only ones Suffering from the
scarcity of laaor. Nv glass factory

ture which is now in service in the

titled it to better facilities in the way
of a passenger depot, and that the
erection of handsome new structure
at that point, which Is an important
junction, would prove profitable to
the company.
The Baltimore and Ohio officials
showed disposition to meet the
city half way in the matter. and an
agreement was made whereby the
city was to condemn land lying ON
Latrobe stfeet for the purpose of
securing an approach to the depot as
proposed, This was done and only a
few minor details now remain to be
worked out by the city in order to
fulfill its part of the agreement.
AT the meeting of the directors last
week the project was discussed, voted
favorably upon, an appropriation
allowed and the character of the
building outlined in general way.
Plans as yet are wholly tentative.
but it is officially ed that the
passenger depot and the restroom will
cost in the neighborhood of $l15. 900.
The station will be of brick and
stone, and will consist CT first,
mezzanine and second floor, and will
contain q waiting room and dining
room and ticket offices on the first.
while the general offices of the divi-
sion will be on the third.
