Frank Best. the Morgantowu oil man,
has more experience in travelling over
land than in her native element, the

The Monongahela is very low and It
was found impossible to take the
yacht to Morgantown by river, so Mr..
Best completed a contract with w

yesterday the craft was loaded on one
of the big Thomas drays and once
again started on a trip by land.
The boat win be hauled over the

again be launched and from that
point she will proceed to her home
under her own power. Her land trip
from here was expensive, costing her
