r. W. Fletcher, street commission
er, has rendered his resignation and
asked that the same take effect on
the first of the coming month. 1t
was filed with the recorder yester-
day, but owing to the fact that no
meeting was held 1t was not brought
before the council. 1t will be acted
upon next week unless a meeting of
the council Is held before Wednes-
day.
According to Mr.. Fletcher, he will
return to the employ of the o. R. &
N. company, with whom he was be-
fore becoming street commissioner.
Mr.. Fletcher was appointed as
commissioner by Mayor Fee last
spring and during his term in office
has worked energetically towards
improving the street and sidewalk
conditions of the city and his efforts
resulted in much good. He also took
the principal part in the enforcement
of the ant-weed ordinance last
spring.
Through his ceaseless agitation
many property owners were prompt
ed to improve their walks, parks,
trees, etc. However, he was unable
to secure many Of the repairs desir-
ed through the inability of the city
to afford the same at this time.
The appointment of the street COM
missioner rests with the mayor, sub
ject to the approval of the council,
and 1t is presumed that Mayor Fee
will shortly name successor for
Fletcher should the latter's resigna-
ton be accepted'
The work in which Mr.. Fletcher
will be engaged on the o. R. & N
should he return to the service of the
| company, will be to go over the en-
tire main line and branches, from
Portland to Huntington, to take a
complete list of every bridge. culvert,
and cattle guard, for the purpose of
numbering them anew, according to
the standard methods of today.
This will necessitate about 500
miles of travel mostly on foot and
on track velocipedes, in hunting up
buried and forgotten cattle guards
and in making an official and COM
plete list of all these structures for
the bridge and building and engi-
neering departments.
Mr.. Fletcher was in the employ Of
the o. r. & N. company for seven
years and is held in high esteem as
capable young man, by the off,
, cials.

TEN MEN CONTROL MARKETS.
Government Investigation Reveals
Trusts Iron Grip.

Government Investigation Reveals
Trusts Iron Grip.
Investigation of the packing trust
now under way by government Off
cials is alleged to have developed that
10 men in Chicago compose the dy-
manic force of a formidable list of
corporations that control prices from
those of meat on the hoof to shoes
and from breadstuffs to cattle trans
portation.
These 10 men are asserted to hold
the balance upon the worlds supply
of the commonest necessities of life:
]. Ogden Armour.
E. F. Swift.
Ira N. Morris.
Thomas E. Wilson.
S. A. Roberts.
L. F. Swift.
Edward Morris.
7. j. Connors.
Arthur Meeker.
Lawrence A. Carton.
The most casual newspaper reader
will readily recognize the list as be-
ing from the inside of the big plants
of Chicago. That fact becomes sig
nificent when it is stated that they are
all directors in the same corporation
the National Packing company, or
ganized under the laws of New Jer-
sey, with a capital of s15,000.00O.
The control of this directorate is
alleged to be absolute over these
things, among a long list of others:
The price of meat to all consumers.
| The price of cattle to all breeders.
The price of leather to all factories,
and thus incidentally the price OF
shoes.
The price of grain through allied
interests, and this, as an incident, the
price of bread.
Thus, without taking into account
the endless details of the fertilizer
market, where the trusts control the
price tina farmer pays for his fer
tilizer, it appears that the fastest fight
of the government in the trust field
Is directed to the two chief essentials
of life-bread and meat.
This is the easiest trust in the
world to get at" said a government
official. Compared to getting the
facts about the Standard Oil. this iot
looks easy"

SMOOTH CROOK
REAPS HARVEST

Dola, w. Va. Aug. 21.-One of
the smoothest crooks of contempor-
airy history passed through the
farming districts OF the county last
week, skinning the credulous, right
and left. He cleaned up about $50
in the nelghborhood of Dola and the
vicinity thercabout
He was an innocent looking
swindler, and gave his name as A. G.
Jones. and represented himself as
the soliciting agent for the Pittsburg
Post. lie said the paper was making
special offer OF the daily for one
dollar per year, either I'm advance or
payable at the end OF the year, as
the new subscriber wished. To
those who thought this was not
enough for their money he gener-
ously consented TO throw In the
Thrice Week World. His most
astounding generosity bordered ON
the supernatural and TO the unso-
phisticated seemed like reckless ex.
travagance, but his proposition ap-
pealed to the Yankee instincts OF
those who were in the habit of pay
ing one cent each for papers.
The papers were TO have com
menced coming the first Of this week
and upon the failure TO arrive the
people walked mp to the fact that
they had been duped.
The stranger was minus one arm
and Travelled In buggy He said
that he had lost the arm in the war.
