MASONIC Grand

BEING 81 10 FOR VERY sTB NeLY
BY OBJ les ojTsipE or
TIE CITY

WHEELING. Aug, 20 eellng, It
Is stated. viii likely not get the grand
lodge Temple Of the Masons Of West
Virginia. It has been stated that the
locallodge is making an EFFORT to have
1t located here, but II such an effort
is being made. the Wheeling Mascns,
as far as is known, have not yet of
fered any great inducements as have
several other ities in the race for
the Grand lodge Temple.
Petersburg, ciarksburg, Hunting
ton and Charleston sreall doing some
hard work towards Influencing the
grand lodge IN favor Of each of the
named cities. OF the lot, Parkers,
burg seems the most active. Ii has
onered the grand lodge a s25, 900 lot
free Of all charge for the location
of the temple with the provision that
the grand lodge erect temple, not
less than four stories, with commc-
dious lodge and banquet rooms, and,
further that the Parkersburg Masonic
Organization shall have lodge rooms
in the building free Orient. The of
fer is a very good one.
But Parkersburg is not the only
town in the State willing to offer good
inducemnts SO as to secure the grand
lodge temple. Huntington, Charles
ton and Clarksbprg, It is stated, are
all ready to offer similar induce
ments. Charleston, especially, it Is
stated, will do all in her power to
land the home.
The grand lodge temple will be a
desirable institution in what ever city
is fortunate enough to secure IT. 1t
will mean a great deal to the city
that does get It. The offers of the
various cities will be submitted to the
grand lodge when 1t holds its annual
convention at Parkersburg this fall.
In Wheeling. it is stated unofficial
ly, that since the Masons are now
erecting a handsome cathedral Of
their own, corner Byron and. Four
teenth streets, they are not in posi-
ton to make such liberal offers as
some Of the other cities of the State.

Horseless
Milk Wagon
FARMER LOSES HORSE AND
TAKES BURDEN ON SELF TO
SUPPLY CUSTOMERS
WITH MILK.

sIsTERsvILLE, Aug. ga horse
less milk wagon is being operated in
sistersville, and has been used for the
past several weeks. Nothing to say
detrimental in regard to the owner
and drawer of the wagon, but It is the
most unique thing in the vehicle line
that was ever witnessed in sistersyille
and a thing that is commented on
daily.
A certain milk dealer a short time
ago lost his horse-he was a success
full man in his line-but declares he
will not purchase another until he
has made sufficient money. And
daily he can be seen on the street
both morning and evening, making
his deliveries by taking the place
between the shelves and pulling the
wagon about the city with his little
boy on the seat, where he had sat fol
many a year and drove his old faith
full horse.
The milkman is one of the best
dairymen in this section of the COLI
try and is highly respected by the
public in general, but nevertheless
they cannot but help being amused at
his pulling the wagon, and there are
a number of persons who have made
inquiries why he was acting in the
capacity Of a horse, drawing a heavily
laden wagon and boy around on his
milk route when horse flesh was SC
cheap.

States Right in Australia.

BuRalo Express.
The Australian Commonwealth is
having its first struggle with the
states rights problem. Moreover, the
duficulty has arisen over the same
question that first made States rights
an issue in the United statestae
tariff. The provinces surrendered to
the federal government the right to
collect the customs duties at their
ports, The one reservation was that
articles imported by a State for its
own use might come in duty free. New
South Wales has imported a quantity
of wire netting for the purpose of
distributing 1t among settlers The
federal customs officers tried to col
lect duty on 1t. The State not only
refused to pay, but sent a strong 20
lice force to seize the netting. Radi-
Gals urged the commonwealth premier
to reply by sending federal troops
against the State police, but Sir VIII
liam Lyme wisely decided to lay the
matter before the High Court first.
The fact that the New South Wales
was formerly free-trade colony prob
ably offers some explanation Of the
situation. Unable to get federal tar
iii to suit its free-trade ideas, New
South Wales has attempted to dodge
the customs duties by taking adyan-
hitting free impor-
tation by State. But If It can i'm
mort articles free of duty and sell
them to citizens, the federal tariff
will be nulllfed both for protective
and for revenue purposes. 1t remains
to be seen whether New South Wales
will follow an early South Carolina
example by threatening secession if
it cannot interpret federal laws for
itself and obey them or not as 1T
chooses.

Why Meats Are Higher.

AIilwauRe Wisconsin.
The Yellow Book issued by the
British Board Of Agriculture presents
interesting statistics in regard to the
consumption of meat in the United
Kingdom which reveal one Of the
causes Of the increased average price
Of meats of all kinds. Over $1,000
100000 worth Of food was imported
into Great Britain last year, larger
amount than usual, and the increase
In the amount Of meat purchased
abroad was greater relatively than
that Of the other food products.
tits pointed out by the British au-
sthorities that this is significant, in
view Of the fact that there has been
no diminution in the home supply Of
meats. 1t is proof that the people OF
Great Britain are eating more meat
than formerly, owing to improved in
dustrial conditions This is further
shown by the fat that the consump-
lion Of imported breadstuHs has in.
creased to smaller extent despite
the fact that there was reduction in
the home supply.
The facilities for packing meats
have been very much enlarged during
the past % years, and the markets
!, OF the world have been opened 10 the
packers by Improvements in transpor-
tation under refrigeration. This has
made the foreign meat consumers tri-
butarygtol the American packing trade
