FISH DYING
In Large Numbers Up and
Down the West Fork
River Now.

Fish in the West Fork river he
tween this city and Fairmont, are dy-
ing by the hundreds while others are
SO contaminated by the poisonous
water of the river that they lay in !,
stupor close to the banks where
scores of them are killed by men
with sticks.
The West Fork river is no moro
than series of pools filled with stag
nant water. colored green or yellow
by the minerals from the mines and
contaminated further by the refuse
dumped into the stream from the lit
tie towns aolng the banks.
In nearly every pool many dead
fish may be seen floating on the SUR
face, while scores of others, inert and
from all appearances dead, hug the
banks.
A favorite occupation of many up
and down the river has been to walk
along the banks armed with board
or large stick. Seeing fish near
shore the water is hit with the board
and the stun of the blow makes it
possible to capture the fish without
trouble.
Large killings are reported in this
manner and In some cases the fish
have been cleaned and eaten while in
others. their meat was feared to be
poisonous and 1t was not used.

FINAL SURVEYS
Are Made for the Railroad
From Belington to the
City of Pittsburg.

Final surveys have been made for
the West Virginia connectin rail
road, which will be built from Be
lington, this state, to Carnegie, Pa,
where connection will be made with
one of the existing lines. The char
ter calls for line from Belington to
Waynesburg, distance of 6S miles.
but reports filed show the surveys
have been made as far as Carnegie.
j. V. Thompson. of Uniontown:
D, F. Maroney, of Pittsburg, and
other capitalists are Interested in
the new project 1t was originally
intended to build the road this year,
but 1t was announced officially yes
terday that actual construction will
not be started until some time next
summer. 1t is generally believed
that the Virginia railroad. owned by
II. H. Rogers. being built from the
Atlantic coast to the Great Lakes,
will enter Plttsburg over the West
Virginia Connecting line.

MORRIS STRICKEN
Well Known Resident Of.
Grass Run Suffers from
a Paralytic Stroke.

Word comes from Grass Run that
James NJ. Morris, one OF the best
known and most highly respected
citizens of that community. Is lying
in a serious condition at his home
from the effects OF a stroke OF paral-
ysis which visited him while here
early last week. Mr.. Morris was
here on business and while here be-
gan to feel the effects OF para
lytic aiiment which made 1t. neces-
sary for some friends to accompany
him home. His condition has not
materially improved since that time
and his family ana many friends
are somewhat alarmed.
While Mr.. Morris is by no means
an old man, yet his health has not
been the best for some months and
business cares and ill health have
so weighed upon him that his pres
ent condition is regarded quite grave.

emnized Tuesday afternoon at

Fred DeitZ, when their daughter,
Helen M. was united in marriage
with Mr.. william Thayer Fiasier, OF
Covina, California. The ceremony
was perfoi lined In the presence OF the
relatives and members of the home
circle only. The Episcopalian ring
oeremoy was used, the bridal couple
standing beneath an arch OF syringa
blossoms.
The house was prettily decorated
in green and white, with an abund-
ance OF roses 10 all the rooms.
The bride has been most success
ful teacher In the public schools here
for the last four years. In paying
tribute to her as teacher we would
quote remark made to us few days
ago by neighboring superintendent,
who said: "ln losing Miss Helen
DietZ from the ranks of the teaching
profession you are losing one OF the
best, II not the best teacher In the
Hood River schools"
Mr.. Frazier was for several years a
resident OF Hood River valley and ia
we'll and favorbly known here. He
Is now engaged IN the orange culture
In southern California.
