THE w. VA. FARMER.
Getting There. Also, According to Re
ports From Washington.

In the statistics for July, prepared
by the department OF agriculture at
Washington, West Virginia shows M
most favorably with the other states
in comparison with her area. In the
state the report shows that there is
an increase of about 10 per cent. in
the corn acreage, which is now S45,'
600 acres. In tobacco West Virginia
has $4,000 acres planted or just dou-
BILE the amount of year ago, while
the acreage of potatoes is $4,000 or
an increase OF about per cent. In
every one of the fruit and vegetable
productions not only is in increase
in acreage shown, but a most mark
ed increase in production. AS an ag-
ricultural state the report seems to
indicate that West Virginia is devei-
oping as rapidly in this line as her
ether industries are.

Building.
From The World Of Thursday !:

From The World of Thursday:
The Board of Education held a
special meeting Thursday evening in
the Office of President H. l.. Alexan-
der The members were all present
except j. II. Whetzel.
Three bids were opened for the pro-
posed addition to the west side OF the
high school building, the bidders all
being Martinsburg contractors DIS fol-
lows:
w. H. Frankenberry, $4,000.
w. S. Small, $1,000.
s. A. Westenhaver, S9,958.
The board awarded the contract to
Mr.. Frankenberry. 1t will be noticed
that his bid is $42 higher than that
of Mr.. Westenhaver, but the board
thought that inasmuch as ne has al.
ready contract for the new John street
school house and the extension to the
High street school house amounting
together to $4,000 and, furthermore,
that s42 is mere babatille on a big
contract anyway, ii was right and
proper to let the job TO Mr. Franken-
berry.
At the regular meeting of the board
last Monday night it will be remem-
beredthat the bids -four in number)
for the addition to the high school
building were all rejected because
they were too high, being about $751;
coo each This was more than the
board has to expend for the purpose
mentioned out OF the $4,000 balance
of the bond issue. Architect ]. w.
Woltz was, therefore, directed to SO
modify his plans as to bring the cost
down to about $4,000, and this has
been done without very materially
changing the general plan A saving
in the cost was effected principally by
making the contemplated addition
somewhat smaller and doing consider
ably less excavating. Architect Wolt2
was present at the meeting with his
plans and drawings.
The addition in question will be OF
brick and one story high, but so con
structed that a second story could
easily be added at some future time.
AS stated, it will adjoin the present
building on the west side. with an ad-
ditional entrance on the north end
from Stephen street. 1t will contain
an assembly room with a seating ca
pacity of 275, several class rooms and
an Office for the principal
Contractor Frdnkenberry expects to
begin work next Monday and hurry
the job to completion.

What will the city council do with
the street car franchise, and when
will it act upon the three applications
for such franchise now pending?
These questions are exciting a very
lively interest on the part of the bust
ness men and citizens of Brownsville
in general. No doubt the city faith
ers find it hard to decide, when each
of the applications before them APP
pears to be meritorious, and espec-
tally as the applicants have stated
that they are entirely willing to
agree to any reasonable provision
which the council may deem wise to
incorporate in the franchise. One
wag has suggested that the best way
to decide the perplexing question
might be to grant franchise to each
of the three companies, making one
a surface electric street railway, one
an elevated and one a subway system.
Testing aside, however, others sug-
gest that the council should draw up
Just such a franchise as the exper-
fence and wisdom of the builders in
other cities have found best adapt
ed to present day needs, and let the
three companies bid for it. Such a
plan would insure the construction OF
a system which will be best for the
Interests OF all concerned. But what
ever the council may intend to do in
the matter, it would be showing only
proper consideration towards the ap-
plicants for the franchise to come to
some decision in the matter without
further delay, as it must be exceed
ingly annoying and discouraging to
the applicants to be kept waiting sc
long for decision in the matter
Capital is in too much demand every
