The walk question in this town is
in a fair way to be settled by the
use of creek gravel and crushed
limestone. Last week 800 feet of
good. permanent walk, six feet
wide was laid at a cost not exceed
ing $40. A foundation of creek
gravel three or four inches deep is
laid, the larger stones in the bot
tom. The crushed limestone is
then spread on top to the depth of
an inch or two. In few days the
limestone is packed down to a
good, hard surface. The cost is
less than half that Of boardwalk.

The following article is taken

The following article is taken
from Clifton Forge Daily Review
B. H. Hiner, of Franklin, W.
Va, one of the incorporators of the
West Virginia Railway Co., writes
that the engineering corps have
completed the surveys from the
State boundary, (which is the
Southern terminus of this branch
of the road, to Petersburg, W. Va,
AZ miles. They have returned to
the Virginia end, and, beginning at
the State boundary, are working
southwark toward Clifton Forge,
Va. The Virginia end of the line
will be separately chartered, but
the two links will form one road
from Clifton Forge, on the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railway, to some
point on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, Keyser, ". Va, being
now named.
THE object of this road will be
to first haul out the timber, which
is considerable, there being no rail-
road between the Baltimore and
Ohio and the Chesapeake and Ohio
on the North and South, respec-
lively, and the Southern and Balti-
more and Ohio at Harrisonburg,
Va, on the East and the Western
Maryland lines on the West, max
ing territory of about 100 by l5O
miles. With the timber out the
fruit industry will be developed all
through this valley, which is the
famous South Branch Valley, and,
it is already an agricultural and
stock-raising country, these prod
ucts will furnish much traffic to
the road, but back of it all, and
what is of vastly more Importance
to both the road and the country
through which it will pass, is the
iron-ore industry.
"The mountains on both sides of
the South Branch are underlaid
with vast quantities of red fossil,
brown hematite and manganese.
Mr.. G. P. Grimsely, of Morgantown,
w. Va, assistant .geologist for the
State, in a report of the iron ores,
salt and sandstones of West Vir-
ginia, just published, says in con-
nection with the ores of Pendleton
county: Taken into connection
with the ores in the counties to the
North and South, the timber and
freight traffic in other lines, the
district certainly deserves consider
alton on the part Of capital seeking
profitable investment Coming,
as it does, from a non-partisan
source, this opinion deserves special
weight, and will do much to attract
capitalists in this direction.
"The most fortunate thing in
connection with the contemplated
railroad is that it runs through the
heart of the iron-ore belt from Cliff
ton Forge where furnaces are now
at work, to Petersburg, a distance
of about $50 miles, and be built on
one of the best grades that can be
found anywhere, probably not ex-
ceeding so feet to the mile at any
point"

Cushman Kellogg Davis. who, as
chairman of the senate committee on
foreign relations, reported the reso-
luton which practically declared war
against Spain, was born in Henderson,
y. Y. seventy-one years ago today.
As legislator, statesman and soldier he
won wide renown and died, full OF
wears and honors, in st. Paul, on No
vember %, 1900.
Senator Davis secured his formal ed
ucation at the University of Michigan,
graduating from the famous Ann Ar
Dor institution of learning in 1857. lie
was admitted to the bar and began
practice as lawyer. but when the
Civil War broke out he was among the
first to enlist His career as sol
der was one of bravery and devotion
to the cause. although not marked
by any special brilliance.
When the north and south settled
their troubles and peace once more re

vice. 100 west, young man." and set
tied in Minnesota. He resumed the
practice of law in st. Paul and was
soon marked by the politicians of the
state as a coming man. He followed
the path which many other great
statesmen have taken-state legislator,
United States district attorney, COVER
nor and United States senator. He was
a staunch republican in politics.
When the Maine was blown up in
Havana harbor, he was among those
who counseled peace and patience, but
when the national spirit famed war
like over the land, demanding revenge
upon the naughty Dons and the UNI
leashing of the dogs of war, Davis was
among the first to see that the impend
ing struggle was inevitable. The seso-
luton which he wrote. as chairman of
a senate committee, practically amount
ed to declaration of war against
Spain, and made the name of the
Minnesota statesman famous through
out the country.
His last notable appearance in the
limelight was as member of the
peace commission which negotiated the
treaty between Spain and the United
States in 1898. Thus he played a
prominent part in both the beginning
and the ending of the war. Senator
Davis was one of Minnesota's favorite
sons. He was student. deep think
er, polished orator, and his speeches
are ranked with the classics.

sicken the peoples stomachs until
they exterminate the pest"
But people get so accustomed to
such warnings that they come to re-
gard them as bromides; they don't get
scared any more at the antispit signs,

sician "They first endure, then pity,
then embrace But if they can be
shown what horrible thing they are
embracing. they'll shoot back through

determination. in short ORDER
1t can be done. If whole sections
in the south. such as the West Indies
can be rid of the mosquito, it's too
much to believe that people with so
MANY facilities at hand can't get rid

we've cot so used to seeing flies around
that we don't think of the typhoid
fever they're carrying on their feet,
and we don't remember that the least
particle of this matter. so fine that

half orphans for her to raise. Or it
NAV take the widow and orphans
along. too. It's the positiveness of the
daneer-the absolute certainty-that
ought to be talked and hammered into
the people until they all get busy
cleaning out the breeding places"
"Well, then let every housekeeper
see to it that there's not filthy spot
around the house or within a great
distance of the house. Look out for
the garbage can, the droppings from
the kitchen. the open door of the coun-
try clubhouse, the stable, the manure
pile the leftover on the kitchen table.
It's only little trouble to keep things
clean, but it's mighty hard on the
system to spend twelve weeks in bed
with typhoid fever and maybe not
get out at all"
Housewives should lend hand in
the war of determination. The house
fly must go.
