question N every section of the trade
and all are hoping that nothing viii
be done by the legislators that viii
have a detrimental effect on an in

IS dependent on an adequate rate o.
duty in order that American manu-
facturers may be able to compete
with foreign producers who secure

much lower wage rate than prevails

gf1fI G
OF the Morgantown Area Are
Reported by the Federal
Surveyors.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. Is
The report of the soil survey Of the
AIorgantown area, West Virginia
made By the Bureau OF Soils, United
States Department of Agriculture,
has been issued. The area survey
ed includes the counties Of Marion,
Taylor and Monongalia. and con-
tains an area of 100000 acres. The
altitude Of the area ranges from
500 to 1853 feet above sea level
The Monongahela river and its
tributaries drains the area. The
climate is suited to general farming,
the mean annual temperature being
So. and the mean average lprecipita-
.tion Il inches. being Wei distributed
throughout the year.
The report deals exhaustively
with the agricultural conditions and
prospects IN the three counties. and
IS illustrated by several photographs
OF agricultural scenes in the coun-
ties. and is accompanied by map in
colors showing everything of agri-
cultural. Typographical and geolog-
ical value IN the counties, as well as
the location of the many different
types of soils encountered during
the survey. and the towns and DIFF
fereat farm houses, churches,
school houses, roads and streams
Agriculture IS mainly confined to
the production of general farm crops
and stock raising. says the report
Corn. wheat. oats, buckwehat and
potatoes are the principal crops,
with a relatively large acreage an
nually moved for hay
The development OF the oil and
gas resources has taken the labor
from the farms by offering higher
wages says the report. The in
come from the rentals and royalties
generally exceeds that from the
farm. and these, together with the
sale of the workable beds OF coal
have put most owners in good
financial .cndition. However, there
are many opportunities for success
full agriculture in the region" con
tinues the report. Stock raising
could well be extended by improving
the pastures through more frequent
re-seeding and by using commercial
fertilizers. n this way the grazing
capacity could be greatly increased.
The rougher lands. especially in the
western part of the area where
sheep do wen, should be devoted to

Two Big Log Drives Coming.

The annual log drive of the Inter-
national Paper company this year is
from the head waters of the White riv
er in Vermont, in the vicinity Of Roch-
ester. For the past eight or 10 years
no logs have been cut by the company
in Vermont, the supply being brought
from the head waters of the wild Am
monoosuc in New Hampshire, but none
were cut for the company in New Hamp-
shire this year. The drivers are having an
unusual run this year because of the
steady high water, and the entire 49,
100000 feet are now in the boom at
Sharon, a short distance from the mouth
of the river. They would now be on
their way down the Connecticut but the
water is so high they could not be held
here in the booms. Day before yester-
day the water was seven feet deep on
the dam here and it is considered I'M
safe for logs doomed here at any over
five feet AS soon as the water settles
to that point the drive will be let into
the Connecticut and a record run prob
ably will be made reaching here ahead
of the Connecticut Valley Lumber COM
panys larger drive which is on its way
down from the head waters of the Con-
necticut, including the 100000 feet
that were stranded on the Fifteen Mile
falls last summer.

Fruit company are opening a store
there. The proprietors are Angel and
Stephans Bakergis, brothers, who came
here from Springfield. The former
writing room OF Hotel Rockingham has
been changed into store by Mr. Low
ell and is now occupied by A. G. Gam
anans as a novelty jewelry store These,
with the variety store and millinery
stores in the hotel building, Mason
Brothers piano store next south, and
the Bodine e. Co. plumbing store in the
basement of the Lowell building on Ca
nal street, make five stores now used
in the Lowell buildings, several of them
necessitated by the fire last month.
The contract for the erection of the
new building between Canal and Rock
ingham streets has been awarded this
week by Fred II. Kimball to the r. II.
Howes Construction company of New
York city, and work was begun in ear
nest Monday morning. The building will
be of brick and at least two stories
high, probably three. 1t will occupy the
south half of the large lot recently
bought by the Kimball family and will
be used entirely as a garage, although a
third story may be added for other pur-
poses. The width of the building on
Canal street will be 3S feet and 1t will
extend back the whole depth of the lot.
There is a frontage of about so feet on
the street farther north which later Will
be covered, by a substantial structure.

Opinions About 1.-THE Purple Widow"

The Gardner, Me-, Reporter of Friday
March 10, says Although The Pur-
pie Widow came here perfect
stranger, she found no difficulty in win
ming favor last night at the Coliseum
with an audience of excellent proper
tions that laughed from almost the very
opening until the final ringing down of
the curtain" After reviewing the pro-
gram this paper concludes with the re-
mark that The Purple Widow is fully
equal to the OFT shows which have held
sway for number of seasons in popular
priced musical comedy, and the impress
sion already made would go far toward
attracting capacity crowds during the
remainder of the engagement" The
Rockland Observer of March l says: "A
rolicking Funniest of jollity where pretty
lassies in dainty attire frisk and gambol
through intricate dances to the rythm of
tuneful melodies is The Purple Widow
which opened a three days engagement
yesterday at Rockland theatre Such
are the compliments wherever Mr.
Carlton appears in this musical farce
This attraction will be seen at the Au-
ditorium Saturday, May 4, matinee and
evening.

That the new railroad developments
will work a hardship on many of the
residents of Vernon street was brought
out by M. ]. Moran. He said the people
involved owned their homes, but that
the land was leased and the tenants
never had expected it would be needed
for railroad purposes. They are a good
class of people, but work hard for
small pay and cannot afford to be de-
prived OF their homes. He thought 1t
was the duty of the board of trade to
see that they suffered as little hardship
as possible. President Houghton said
that the matter was being considered
by the board and C. l.. Stickney re-
ported that negotiations were in pro-
gress for land to which the houses
could be moved. On motion of c. A

ARTICLES IN VILLAGE WARRANT.
Hour-Another Calls for Report of
Charter Commissioning May 7.

Warrants for the annual village meet
ing May have been posted this week.
They contain eight articles, all but two,
of which are the same as heretofore, ia
Guiding one to appropriate $500 for a Sc
ries of 10 concerts by the First Regiment
band. The new articles are and Z.
The former is to see If the voters will
vote to pay the members of the fire
department for their services as firemen
by the hour instead of a fixed price
yearly, and II so to fix the rate to be
paid. The latter is TO hear the report
OF the committee appointed at the re-
cent special meeting to draft new viii
lage charter, and to act upon the re-
port.
Probably a change to an hourly basis
would result in a saving in salary but
ii might not be looked upon favorably
by the insurance companies; certainly 1t
is not by the firemen. Under the pres
ent arrangement each fireman is paid
$50 a year, whether there are few fires
or many, and he is fined 81 whenever he
fails to respond to an alarm and for
each of the 10 regular meetings each
year which he fails to attend. The fire.
men say that they now feel some re-
sponsibility through their membership
in an organized body, although the pay
offers little inducement. They say that
on an hourly basis interest in the or
ganization would cease. there would be
nothing to hold them together and the
department would be far less adequate
than now In any case 1t would not
be wise to adopt such a plan until IL
was thoroughly understood what the ef-
feet on the insurance rates would be.

Prof. Thomas N. Chase.

Prof. Thomas N. Chase, "A, father OF
Mrs. Edward Kirkland, died in the home
of DIR. Kirkland on Henry street Tues
day afternoon about l o'clock. He had
been in failing health several years with
complication of diseases. Prof. Chase
was one of the wellknown educators of
the country, having spent almost his
entire life as a teacher and in the
management of Atlanta university, to
which institution he went when 1t was
first opened in 1869 and which he served
in various capacities until his retirement
from active labor in 1906. He was at
different times professor of Greek, Latin
and mathematics, and was dean of the
institution several years.
He was born in West Newbury, Mass,
in 1888. and graduated from Dartmouth
college in the class of 1862. After teach
ing two years in Royalton academy he
went to Washington, ID. c., as a city
missionary. Later he accepted a po-
sitlon in the post office department, 60
ing from there to Atlanta university.
In 1862 he married Miss Mary NJ. Tut
tie of Acton, Mass, who died in 1900.
One. daughter, Mrs. Edward Kirkland,
survives. A few years ago he married
Helen NJ. Walsh of Stamford, Conn,
who survives and who was his constant
companion in his declining years. The
funeral was held yesterday in the home
and the BODY was taken to Acton, Mass,
this morning for burial.
Prof. Chase was a broad minded man
of charming personality and warm
friendships. He was remarkable for his
calmness and his excellent judgment
which led to his being often sought for
counsel by the friends and graduates
of Atlanta, they often coming long
distances to secure his advice. Since
1896 he had lived principally in WASH
s,,at yftNtn nd h.
summers, taking a number of trips
abroad. He was in Florida during the
early part of the past winter, but as
his Illness became acute DR.. Kirkland
brought him to his home six or eight
weeks ago.
