PUR1 HAsERs OF CHEAT TRACT
REPORTED TO HAVE BOUGHT
ADDITIONAL 1000 ACRES.

ICES FERRY, April Ait Is stated
here on apparently reliable authority
that the Kendall Lumber Company, Of
CcnneIlsville and Pittsburgh, has put
chased the Gufey tract Of timber
along Cheat river. The tract consists
approximately 1000 acres. The con
slderation is not known.
A corpse Of engineers for the Ken
dali company is at work surveying the
GuFey timber on the west side Of
Cheat river near Beaver Hole. Nor.
gantown representatives Of the Ken
dali interests, when seen about the re-
pert, had no statement to make con,
corning the reported deal. They did
not deny. however, that the sale had
been made.s
Development of the immense timber
tracts will begin Immediately upon the
completion OF the new railroad. The
excavation will be finished in about a
month. Work is progressing on the
trestles.
The T. A. Gillespie company, con
tractors for the Cheat Haven DAM has
added more than 100 laborers to its
payroll. The company is advertising
for 25O to 300 additional laborers,
Five corps Of engineers are at work
on the surveys in connection with the
third OF the series of power dams. The
engineers now are working along the
Sandy river. Drilling tests are still
being made at Beaver Hole by engin-
GERS for the hydro.eiectrlc company.
That the Kuhn interests intend
building the Bruceton power dam on
Sandy creek with their own labor,
making Uniontown the depot for ali
materials, such as cement, machinery,
tools, building supplies and horses,
has developed since men under the
direction of ]. W. Nye began assem-
bling draught horses, wagons and ma
terials at that place, using the old

as temporary depot. 1t is the inten'
ticn to ship all materials to Union

ness, lettering or begging on the
streets. There are always one or two
OF these gentlemen Of leisure loating
about and around the city, wher they
are found by the police, and then the
next morning they appear before the
mayor. A fine is imposed for their
offence, but the poor mortals have not
a cent in cash. They are returned to
the city bastile and there they remain
for day or so. Thus the sum total.
The bum has had a place 70 sleep and
his meals, all for nothing, with the
city paying the expense.
When he is released he steals away
to some hangout of the hoboes, and
soon gamers from some paser by the
