Frank j. Gould would not have ac-
quired the valuable water power proper
ties in this State for any other purpose
than to develop them. He will use them
in the generation of electric power which
will be available perhaps in all parts Of
the State, and probably beyond the
States borders. 1t is to be presumed
that MIR. Gould will use this power in
the operation Of the trolley lines in Nor
dominant factor in a great corporation,
has recently come into control as well
as lines controlled by him in other Sec
tions OF the State.
Mr.. Goulds water properties can be
made to generate many times the power
likely ever to be demanded for driving
trolley cars, and 1t is natural to suppose
that much of the power will be used for
other purposes-in driving the machinery
in mills and manufacturing plants and
perhaps mines.
1t is quite possible for this water-power
development to exercise a vast influence
upon industrial life in Virginia. 1t is pos
sible for it to encourage the building of
mills and factories in largely increased
numbers. should its price be made cheap
enough.
Mr.. Gould knows that he must deliver
the power where wanted at a price con-
siderably lower than power is now cost
ing in order to create much of a demand
for it. He knows that he can do that.
or he would not have obtained control
OF the water property. Cheap power en-
courages manufacturing. Mr. Gould is
perhaps now more heavily interested
financially in Virginia than any other cit
izen in or out of the State. He Is vir-

No confirmation could be obtained yes

tour Of exploration. Children on their
way home from school encountered the

friends with it at once.
The wolf did not discourage the ad-

per even while youngsters prodded 1t
with sticks, pulled its ears and employed
other methods of demonstrating their
fondness for their new friend. Dogs in
the neighborhood did not take to the
newcomer in such a kindly fashion.
When these dogs saw the wolf they
started for II on the run, barking and
looking as IL they meant to engage In

Those children who had been playing
with the wolf called other children to
their aid. They formed a hollow square
around the animal. keeping the dogs at q

TO the former in the sum of
$15.6oO,o00. But the verdict was
not unanimous. One of the five

dissenting opinion. For a dozen
years Sir Alexander had been
lord chief Justice Of England, and
one would expect him to be dig
nified in bearing and judicial in
temperament. But all through
the trial he acted more like a
petty lawyer in a justice court
than an arbiter in a great inter-
national dispute. He differed
from his colleagues on almost
every point. great and little. and
made himself generally disagree
able. In speaking of the closing
session of the tribunal, Caleb

A Washington paper, the Herald. In
commenting upon the fact that Frank

ton and water-power interests in Virgin
la, remarks that the affairs Of the State
have been so well managed that persons
who come within its borders have no
fear for the future

ing will come upon the people OF Vir-
ginia by securing and the merging OF
the control of certain properties in sew
eral localities. In fact, 1t would confer

Generally speaking. while ill-considered
legislation in any State is always harm
full to properly conducted enterprise. a
State which invites control of mergers
operated by outside money makers does
not always merit praise Of SO enthusi-

from distance of ten to fifteen miles
to hear the gospel of scientific farm

Judge c.. j. Sinsel of Boise, a man

no more overdo the apple business, and

these big buyers, and therefore can

apples depends on first getting the
right kind of varieties, and then plant
ing enough of them to attract buyers
who want straight trainloads. In this
locality it is now certain that the
Wagner, Rome Beauty, Jonathan and
possibly Gano, are the right varieties.
We include the Gano because at Spo-
kane we were told by one of the larg
est commission men in that city that
the best Ganos he had ever seen came
from Moscow, Latah county, Idaho
But before this variety is planted it
would be well to look up this matter
and see that it fills the bill as a COM
