1t is rumored that Wylie's Point at
West Boothbay Harbor has been sold
to New York parties. At present this
has not been affirmed. The point was
owned by Skowhegan parties for sew

impossible to get price on it. This
point is without doubt the best loca-

to know that fort in Revolutionary

Harrisonburg. Va. August 24.-That
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Com
pany will In the near future purchase
outright from the Baltimore and Ohio
Railway Company the strip OF road be-
tween Harrisonburg and Lexington and
operate a direct passenger and freight
service between Lynchburg and Har-
risonburg, Is the statement made here
by well-known Lynchburger, who is
spending few days In the Valley. and
who claims to have inside information
In regard to the railroad situation.
In the event that such a deal Is made
Lynchburgers. as they claim, would
capture large portion of the trade
from the Valley that now goes to Bal
timore They believe that they would
get the lions share OF everything ex-
cept the millinery trade. Lynchburg
comedies the millinery to Baltimore
The Harrtsonburg-L Lexington strip OF
road has long been recognized as a
stumbling block. It's owners have al
ways claimed that II is a losing propo-
sition. which has been held UP as a
stock argument for years against all
proposed improvements that have been
urged by Harrisonburg and other Val
ley towns. Now II the 3. & Q. refuses
to sell to the G. &; O.. people In this
section will begin to ask questions.
Other Railroad Rumors.
There are other railroad rumors For
a year or two surveyors have been
busy In North Rockingham and also
across the mountains In West Virginia
and the rumor persists that the 3. &; O.
Is getting ready to cut road through
the Alleghanies from Harrisonburg to
some point In West Virginia. Need
less to say, this would revolutionize
Valley conditions and maybe this is
why the B. &; o. is willing to let the
c. 6: Q. have the strip to Lexington.
New York City, who owns the Chesa-
peake Western Road which runs
through Rockingham and parts of Au-
gusta, connecting with the Norfolk and
Western at Elkton, is watching the
local situation. Mr.. Stokes has visited
Harrisonburg several times recently.
Following his visit In June. surveyors
were busy beyond Elkton and 1t Is said
that Stokes is thinking of extending
his road into Greene County, which is
without line OF railway II is also
said that Stokes would not object to
selling the little G. w. to the c. & o.
In the meantime Greene County is
bending every energy to get rail-
road of some description from some
body. Several ass-meetings have been
held at Standardsville. the county seat,
and with several northern capitalists
present, a large subscription was raised
to push the cause
With all of these activities and
rumors on all sides. Harrisonburgers
firmly believe that the Valley is bound
to have some big developments before
many months.

n 7 ICHOI4As H. has just appointed
an imperial commission for the
purpose OF devising means OF
arresting the rapid determination or
the native tribes Of Northern Siberia.
which. at tho present rate, bid fair to
become extinct ere many years have
passed. During the last decade their
numbers have diminished by 80 and
even so por cent
Two causes are assigned to this:
first OF all. the terrible plague known
as the Siberian pest, which not only
wiped out entire clans. but which also
destroyed hundreds of thousands OF
reindeer. which are indispensable to
thcm as n means Of transportation and
OF food.
Then. too, tho government onloials
were trained to believe that the OK
tinction of the native tribes of North
ern Siberia would benefit the empire.
and should be encouraged rather than
retarded. 1t may be remembered that
formerly similar views prevailed in
North America with regard TO the red
Indians.
Emperor Nicholas. however, has be-
come alive to the evil of this policy,
on moral. but moro especially on po-
litical and economic grounds For, by
reason Of IT'S climatic conditions. the
whole OF Northern Siberia is practt-
cally uncomfortable by Russians from
Europe. Tho only people who can be
utilized TO develop its latent resources
are precisely these native tribes, and
the sole means of transport for many
years to come will be the reindeer,
which the tribes In question are alone
able to understand ana to raise BY
permitting the tribes to become en-
tinct, the entiro northern portion of
Siberia, with its mineral riches etc,
is condemned to unproductive idleness.
The aim of the commission now APP
pointed by the Car is to come to the
assistance of the tribes in their des-
titution and misery. to provide them
with money, supplies. education and
with medical care for both man and
beast, so that they may be able to
repair the ravaEes OF the Siberian
plague among their herds of reindeer,
and themselves increase I'm numbers,
in vigor, and in intelligence. The
Siberian plague. as my readers will
doubtless recall. was a pest which
began by attacking small fur-bearing
animals, especially the sable and then
spread to the reindeer and to human
beings. lust in the same way that tho
rats in india spread tho bubonic plague
