STOCK COMPANY
To Be Formed Here TO Manu-
facture Brick from the
Wagner Sand.

Samples of fine pressed brick
made from sand taken from the John
Wagner quarry on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad near the Lynch
coal mine are on exhibition at the
Barnes and Son hardware store in
the new Goff building. 1t is known
as silicate brick and is made from
the Wagner sand and ten per cent
Of lime water. No burning is re-
sorted to but a steam process IS
used and the product is ready for
use the day it is made. The speci-
mems show the manufacture to be of
an extra quality. Mr.. Roberts, Of
392 Mechanic street, is interested in
a movement to form a stock COM
pany here for the purpose of estab-
fishing and operating a plant on the

Bill to Get through Nation:
Congress at the Present
Time.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 11.-There
may be public building bill at this
session of Congress after all. The
Democratic caucus passed once on
the matter, deciding not to introduce
a bill of that kind at this session, but
there are such insistent demands
from some members that some build
ings be provided that the matter
seems likely TO come up again in the
caucus. If it does it is now believed
that a bill win be authorized which
viii be much smaller than the usual
public building bill and will provide
for about one building to each Con-
.gressional district.
Such a measure would cause
trouble for congressman who have
several cities in their districts each
desiring building. and it may meet
with opposition from some of those
who would not want to have 10, select
from among their cities the one for
which to ask for an appropriation.
On the other hand some OF these
congressman would favor putting all
their public building bills into the
hands of the committe and leaving the
selection of the one which can be
incorporated in the bill to the com
mittee to decide, thus getting one
building for their district anyway,
even though other cities be compelled
to wait until another session OF Con
gress for their buildings.
There are not mu6y public build
ing bills for West Virginia cities
pending, and it is believed II the bill
is introduced that most of the build
ings asked for in behalf OF West vir-
GINA win be provided for in the bin
It is not at all certain, though. that
there will be a bill at this session.
Many members are hopeful. but it will.
require reversal OF the caucus ac-
ton to get one through the commit
tee.

TAX
On inheritance, Collected dur
ing Month of February
is $1,000.

CHARLESTON. Mar. 1.-THE in
heritance tax collected during the
month of February was not as large
as it has been some months, hut at
that it reached s7,O07-about the
same as 1t was for the month OF jan
uary. The indications for the pres
ent year are that the~reSenue from
this source will be at least double
and probably three times as much as
any year heretofore. That means
that If the state receives during the
present fiscal year the amount due
from two OF the large estates that are
expected to settle during the year.
the state treasury will be loaded down
with from $4,000 to 100000. Bat
even If either one of the larger es-
tates about due are paid the receipts
will be greatly in excess of that col
lected any year heretofore.
A movement is now on, backed by
local and Independent oil men, to
construct a refinery near the city, to
take care of the oil produced by the
Blue Creek field. Those hack OF the
plan say the company win be organ
lied probably within the next week,
and that when it is organized it Will
have sufficient capital to insure the
erection of the refinery as early as it
is possible to do SO. The extent of
the Blue Creek field. as shown by
wells drilled in during the last week,
is much greater than even the oil
men themselves had imagined. New
wells are being drilled far beyond the
heretofore known territory. Wells are
now being drilled at sissonsYille,
about ten miles from the Blue Creek
field and also in Clay county, a
slightly greater distance, in another
direction.
Joseph H. McDermott, of Morgan
town, who holds some leases in the
Blue Creek territory, is here with
other oil men to look over property.
Major James l. Pratt, assistant to
the adjutant general, and Captain l..
c. jerks. of the army, are inspecting
Company. F." of the National Guard
at Fayetteville. This is the first visit
of the inspectors this year. All the
companies will be visited and in
spected during the next four weeks.
