of the county resulted from cloud
bursts between z and O'Clock Sun
day night. There was washout of
the West Virginia G Pittsburg divis-
ion of the Baltimore & Ohio from
Mt. Clare to Browns creek, a dis
lance OF three miles, which caused a

ments were made to get trains
through. The town of Mt. Glare was
overlooked. Many small bridges
went out IN the Lost Greek section
and crops were greatly damaged.
AT and around iRomine's Mills,

were high and small bridges were
all washed out. Near Quiet Dell an
automobile plunged into creek and
could not get out. The man and NO.

Grasselli suffered considerably,
the creek at that point over
flowing and the waters entering a
number of houses.

DUTY ON OIL
NOT GIVEN UP


A terrific fight was made on lumber
hy the middle west and northwestern
senators but the duty on that product
was agreed to at s1.5O. The. present
law is $500 and the Payne blll' in
the House made 1t $500.
Every one at Washington comedies
that West Virginia and her interests
have falred exceptionally well in this
bill. II must be remembered that the
tendency was for downward revision
all along the line, and for free trade
on coal and lumber. West Virginia
is interested In nearly every article
manufactured. Iron. glass. lumber,
oil, coal. gas and electric appliances:
all these are somewhere handled in
the state. That such a satisfactory
result was secured in the case of lum-
Der and coal is due entirely to the in
cessant activity and TO the high stand
ing of the two West Virginia senators.
They have been in the senate long
enough TO be factors in legislation.
They are to be congratulated, and con-
graduated most heartily. on securing
the duties they have. Then 1t is pos
sibie that they will be able to get what
they are after on oil because that
fight has not yet been given up.
Laurel Root Industry.
II is possible that a new industry
may be started in the mountains of
West Virginia. If q new tariff
duty which has been imposed works
we'll it is expected that it will result
in large amount of laurel root be-
ing shipped from West Virginia. This
comes about through the amendment
placing duty on briar wood, out of
which pipes are made. through the in
lstrumentality Of Senator Scott. Many
years ago great deal OF laurel root
was shipped from the state. Hon.
