TO BE PAVED AT ONCE
street Committee orders $4,000 Paw.
ing Bricks to Finish Street to
post Office This Month.

From The World of Saturday.
The block from College street to the
post Office on West King is to be pay
led right away this paper is happy to
announce today.
The street committee met yesterday
and decided to place an order at once
for 10000 vitrified bricks with the
Fairmont Fire Brick Co. The bricks
are expected TO arrive here in ten
days or two weeks and then the work
will be commenced and pushed vigor-
ously to completion. Mr.. H. c. Brooks
of Fairmont, will superintend the work
under contract with the city council
made last fall.
1t will be remembered that paving
OF King street west from the square
was begun last December but was only
finished a far as College street when
the work was hung up by reason of
the cold weather. The street from Col
lege to Maple avenue has been in
nasty condition all winter, one reason
being that the street was dug up to
lay a new water main, so that the
thoroughfare has been either muddy
or dusty almost beyond endurance
But this, happily, will soon come to
an end.
The first thing in order now for the
owners of the a5utting properties
along the block mentioned is to get
busy and lay their concrete pave
ments, which must be done before the
street paving is commenced in order
that there may be no delay Where
and when the next street paving will
be done remains for the city council
to determine. but 1t is hoped that 1t
won't be so very long till King street
is paved clear to the Cumberland Val
ley Railroad

PRICE OF BREAD
is LIKELY TO co UP
High Price Of Flour Is said by Local
Bakers to Make it Necessary
Loaf viii be Made Larger.
from The World Of Tuesday.

From The World of Tuesday:
Local bakers say that the advance
in the price of wheat and the conse-
quent higher price Of -four at the mills
will compel them to make an advance
in the price of bread to the consum-
er Flour is now being sold to the
bakers at a net price of $500 bar
rell. This is higher than it has been
for long time as many times they
have been able to secure their supply
at figure below $500.
This heavy advance in -four as we'll
as the high price of lard has cut the
profit to the baker and in order to
keep his accounts on the right side OF
the ledger he will advance the price
of the loaf. The consumer will how
ever only have to pay cents for his
loaf of bread, but that will be straight,
there will be no more for quarter.
The day OF the bread check will go.
1t Is not proposed TO cut the size OF
the loaf, on the contrary the loaf will
be made heavier An ounce or SO will

nickle in order to get it. Your check,
at 6 for 25c. will not buy it.
This move. If it is found necessary
viii be made by the bakers in self
protection they say. They will not
make the raise unless they find 1t i'm
peratiye. The supply of flour which
they purchased some months ago at a
much lower price than what they have
to pay for 1t now, is about exhausted.
The bakers as long as they had the
-four at the lower rate did not raise
the price of the loaf. although the mat
ter was considered. Now when they
have to buy flour at the higher price
they will be compelled to either cut
the size of the loaf or raise the price
as indicated above.
Many people now bake their own
bread, and with every raise in the
price of bread, the bakers say there
are more housewives who bake their
own bread. In order to avoid de-
crease in the amount of consumption
of bakers bread, they do not want to
make the loaf lighter. The consumer,
however. will hope that the raise In
price will not come soon.

some visitors from New York and
Pittsburg and all had jolly good
time.
One OF the amusing incidents of the
evening was the warrant served on
one of the most popular members of
the club for classifying bowling score
in which he was interested, The
matter was temporarily adjusted by
the club. as whole, going on his
bond and agreeing to appear in court
The gentleman was too busy cooking
sausage, however, to feel very much
concerned in anything else.
Mr.. Abram Horsfall was presented
with handsome cellarette and whist
holder by some 25 Of the older mem.
bers as testimonial for his nine
years service as chairman of the fl

The German Band, imported espe-
cially for the occasion, played during
the evening while Messrs Heiston and
Williams sang "Hi-lee Hi-low" and
Die Wacht am Rhine" the club lus-
ftily joining in the chorus.

DAMAGE FROM THE COLD.
Peaches and PIums Are Injured, But
Not Sufficient to Result Seriously.

J. A. Miller, weather observer at
Keedysville, stated that the U. S, Their

on Sunday morning and at the peach
farm OF w. d. Hughes, on top OF the
mountain, the mercury stood at p. On
Saturday morning % degrees was re-
corded at Keedysville by Mr.. Miller,
While several nights have passed with
the temperature below freezing, yet
growers do not think the fruit has
been badly injured and are inclined to
regard the freezing as rather good
thing, because the fruit will be given
an early thinning. Buds were examin-
ed and less than one half of these
which we're fully open were found in
jured. Some varieties of peaches are
now in full bloom and nearly all plum
trees.

GROWTH OF RURAL ROUTES.
Forty Thousand Carriers Now Cover
Million Miles i'm the u. S.

A report on April by the fourth as
sistant postmaster general shows that
rural delivery service is now in opera
ton on 4C,027 routes, 800 routes hav-
ing been established on April l. This
is significant, in view of the statement
in the annual report of the depart
ment, Sdted November 20, 1902, that
the territory available for rural de-
livery embl aces about 100000 square
miles and that a reasonable estimate
places the entire force of carriers at
10000 when the extension of service
will have been completed. It is esti-
mated that the area now covered by
rural delivery service is about 1000
900 square mile but as evidenced
from the applications pending there
still remains unserved territory. The
territory available for rural delivery
was greatly increased by the admls-
sion of the state of Oklahoma into
the Union and by the extensive set
tlemen. of Western Texas.
Five hundred routes will be estab-
lished May / and 100 routes June 1
which will leave 1886 applications
Enacted on.
