"A large company of capitalists of Bal |
timore, at the invitation of Mr.. George !
Blackstone, president of the Union Trust |
Company, visited by special train the
slate quarries, near Delta, on Saturday |
last. For sometime past efforts have
been made to organize powerful syndi- |
cate which sh I'll take over and market |
the products of the quarries after they |
have been placed on the quarry bank, and
it looks as though his efforts will soon
be crowned with success. Mr.. Harry E. |

the enterprise.

Mr.. John M. Glenn, of Baltimore, has
been selected by the Russell Sage Founda-
ton to direct the sociological work result
ing from Mrs. Russell Sage's $4,000, 900
fund, which has in view the investigation
of causes of social distress and the rene
dies therefor. 1t is no small tribute that
New York selects Baltimore man, for
number of years connected with the
Johns Hopkins University, and recognized
as one of our foremost citizens to direct
the operations of this vast fund. The
endowment is a unique one never at
tempted before, and its successful admin
istration will probably aid in no small
way towards the prevention and ameli-
Grafton of suffering incident to ignorance
and poverty. We congratulate the trus-
tees upon their selection of so eminently
qualified a man.
DR. S. R. Wallis, formerly of Forest
Hill, but now of Miller, South Dakota,
writes US aninteresting letter in which he
refers to the wonderful opportunities of
that section and of the rapid increase in
the price of real estate recently. For
instance, referring to a tract of GAO acres
which was offered for SIS per acre two
years ago, he states that it has just been
sold for $40, without having been further
improved. To remedy the scarcity of
labor. an energetic neighbor has recently
put into operation forty horse power
