Mining Resumption.

Tho Fairmont Coal company and
allied concerns intend to store one
million tons of coal in the docks it
owns on the lakes. In addition to
this a shortage of one hundred and
fifty thousand tons in the docks for
the year ending the. first of July is
. to be filled also. This shortage, to-
gether with the million tons to be
. stored for, the lake trade, demands
an early resumption in full of the
mines in the Fairmont and Clarks-
burg regions, which resumption was
exclusively. announced by the Tele-
gram several days ago, will take
place May 10.
In addition to the work as outlin-
ed above large regular. orders will
, have to be filed, SO that it is esti-
mated that at least two hundred thou
sand tons to the lakes and the regular
trade will be filled each month until
: November. One can readily see from
this that the summer is to be very
busy one with the coal companies and
/, the several thousand miners in their
employ. Such activity will not only
restore normal trade conditions but
will stimulate them greatly in these
regions.
And thus is 1t that the resumption
is to be most heartily welcomed by
all affected.

Hornets Nest Stirred.

II That call of Democracy to battle
sent out by several Democratic mem
bers of the legislature and other
Democrats, stirred up hornets nest
in the Democratic camp the moment
1t was bugled. No sooner had the
call reached the Fairmont Times, q
leading Democratic newspaper, than
the following significant echo was
sent back:
The proposition made by Mr.. Ken
ny and his fellow signers to disqual-
lily all Democrats who do not share
their particular views on this ques-
tion from membership in Democratic
conventions Is SO undemocratic, UNI
wise and disturbing to partyharmony
as necessarily to invite harsh critl-
cisnl and stubborn opposition from
those who are not prepared to go
body and boots into the prohibits
ton party No one will dispute the
right ipf these twenty-six gentlemen to
be q delegate to a Democratic conven-
ton because of his prohibition views,
and the same right must be accorded
to all others, otherwise qualified,
however much they may differ from
those views. If some people were
less busy in seeking to set the DEM
ocratic sail to catch every breeze of
popularity, no matter from what dl-
rectlon 1t may blow, there would have
been no necessity for either the cir
cular or this article"
This is not the only party sting the
memorialists will receive either from
their party. Watch what the Wheel
ing Register and other Democratic
papers will have to say, and then
maybe the memorialists will yell out
in pain: tStung!'s

City Committees.

A casual study OF the mayors list
of standing committees at once con-
yinces the idea that the code of the
city should be so changed that every
ward of the city shall be equally rep
resented on these committees. In
other words the law should provide
that every ward should have repre-
sentation on every standing commit
tee. To make it still palmer the
number on every committee should
be increased to five and the five
should be selected from all the five
wards, no two members from any
ward to serve on any one committee.
An analysis OF the standing COM
mittees as announced by the mayor
shows some peculiar results border
Ing upon injustice to some of the
wards of the city. For instance the
first ward, entitled to equal represen-
tation, has five members OF commit
tees and is represented on but four
of the committees. The second ward
fares about as badly having four
members on but four OF the nine
committees. The third ward fares
even worse, having but four mem
bers of three OF the nine commit
tees. The fourth ward for some rea-
son-not political, Of course-fares
better than those previously mention
ed. having six representations and
being on five of the nine committees,
The fifth ward-the home ward OF
the mayor-does still better. Ii
has eight representations and on
seven of the nine committees.
There is no equalization, whatever,
in this apportionment, but the Law
does not provide for that equality
that should exist. And, again,
though 1t may be a point never con-
isidered before or brought to public

The greatest development of water
power that has ever taken place in
the United States has been accom-
plished during the last few years on
the rivers which drain the Southern
Appalachian Mountains, according to
an official report on the water re-
sources of this region. It is estt-
mated that there is at least 2,S000,-
600 indicated horsepower developed
by the streams which have their
headwaters on this watershed, and
more than half this indicated power
is available for economic develoop-
ment
Only u comparatively small part of
this has been made use of yet, but
the portion that has been utilized has
been one of the most important fac
tors in the recent industrial develop
ment of the South. In the future the
use of this power and its value are
bound to increase tremendously.
Manufacturing plants are constantly
increasing In number in the region,
and 1t is reasonable to expect that in
time the center of the cotton weaving
industry of the United States may be
moved from the sterams of New
! England where it has remained for
80 long, nearer to the source of sup
ply for the raw material.
Nowhere are business men wider
! awake to the danger than In the
South. If indiscriminate cutting OF
forests on the crests of the water
shed can be stopped, there is posi-
I billy. according to recent report OF
experts of increasing the develop
meritfof power up to anywhere from
to 30 times the 100000 horse
, power ut present available. Withou,
It, almost nothing can be done. The
Z method proposed to develop the APP.
palachian river resources to the tota
of 42,ooo,oo0 horsepower is by stor.
age reservoirs, which would catch the
surplus waters of the spring and re,
tain them until the summer month.
when the mills now have to fall bacl
on fuel or close down.

Several days ago the plaintfve cries
Of a cat attracted the ear of passers
by on East Chicago's principal business
street. One person more curious than
the rest decided to investigate after the
cries had been heard for two whole
days and 1t was discovered that in some
unaccountable manner a cat had fallen
from the roof of two buildings owned
by the Given estate and occupied by
Mrs Williams, who has a boarding
house in the second story of the brick
building, and by Dave Cohen and Albert
Given, who occupy the lower floors of
the two buildings.
The attention of hundreds of psopse
was attracted to the poor cat which
was squeezed between the two wells
and various plans were suggested for
its rescue.
Every plan proved unavailing and it
began to look as though the poor cat
would have to stay pinned between the
two walls until it starved to death.
