Sixteen Hundred Rats at Mouth
OF Bio SaDdu.

The parties who gave The Trib-
une its information concerning
the amount of timber that was
likely to be brought out of the
Big Sandy river on the rise that
came ten days ago were certainly
very badly mistaken in their es-
innate when they said that there
would not likely be more than an
hundred or two RATS brought out.
During the time that the river
has been at a timber stage there
has not been a day but what a
number Of RATS have reached the

penditure of the $4,000 approp-
rated by the last session of the
state legislature for the location,
erection aud maintenance of the
State tuberculosis Sanitarium
provided for in House Bill No.

the JOINT meeting OF the state
board of control held in the office
of Governor Glasscock at Charles
ton on Thursday of last week,
when it was ordered that offers be
requested for q suitable site for
the proposed sanitarium. and
when Thursday, June /, 1911,
was fixed as the date, and the
Office of the state board of con
troll as the place, when and whore
all offers of sites will be consId-
cred.
In one of the fifty-five counties
Of the state the proposed sanitar-
ium Will be located. In which
one, depends largely upon the
site that will be offered, and the
inducements that will be set
fosth; upon the proximity of the
site TO a railroad, the adequacy of
its water, supply, the quality of
the land, its altitude, freeness
from fog, price, etc. While sey
eral communities in the state
have already engaged in an effort
TO secure this newest Of all West
Virginia state institutions, the
two state boards that are given
the power to select the location
are anxious that every county in
the state which has a euitnble
site to offer shall have equal con-
sideration, and in view Of this
the two boa .ds at their lest

brief list of specifications to
guide the individual or the COM

which specifications are here
with set forth, viz:
First-The tract Of land offer
ed as a site must contain not less
than 500 acres. Second--The To-
cation must be at or near a rail>
road. Third-There shall be an
ample water supply for use in the
buildings and for sewerage; size
of stream on land should be stat

how much land is cleared, how
much woodland, buildings there

Reported Mr.. HirSch Has
Interested Several
Capitalists.

We are informed from what is
deemed q reliable source that a
new company is being formed to
take over the holdings of the lnde-
pendent Steel company at this place.
1t is stated Mr.. Hirsch, general
manager of the present holding
company, has interested q number
of eastern capitalists in the propo-
sition and that q new company is
now in state Of formation.
The new corporation would, our
informant states, pay off the out
stan ding bonds and other indebted
ness OF the Independent Steel COM
pany, which wonld include the GER
tl6cates held as liens by the en-
ployes. Ample working capital
would also be provided, while suffi-
cient funds with which TO install a
rod mill would be at the disposal of
the new company's officials.
The installation of a rod mill
would save the company many
thousands of dollars annually, as the
rods which are purchased else where
and imported to Kenova could then
be manufactured at the local plant.
The innovation would necessarily
cause the employment of a number
of extra men.-Kenova Reporter.
