When the heirs of Gardiner Green
Hubbard built the Hubbard Memorial
Hall there was little TO indicate that
the society would ever become 50 great
an organization that more space would
be required than this hall afforded In
deed. the Hubbard Memorial Hall was
not designed as an office building, but
rather place where interesting geo
graphical information might be deposited
and where lectures on scientific subjects
might be enjoyed by the members.
But the growth of the society has been
so rapid that not only has the entire
Hubbard Hall been filled with work
desks and clerks. but two branch offices
have been established in the city to take

W. Va. Carbon Factory Sold

On the first day of May, a deal
of very large proportion was con-
sumnated whereby Godfrey l..
Cabot became the owner of the
West Virginia Carbon Company's
plant located about a mile below
Grantsviile. The consideration
is said to be $50, 900.
Mr. Cabot will continue to run
the plant at its present location
and will no doubt materially in
crease its output, as he is equip
ped with sufficient quantity of
gas to keep the plant going at
full capacity, and is endowed
with a mentality that makes him
easily the Carbon King" of the
world. Beside, Mr.. Cabot will
retain with the factory Mr.. j. G..
Oles. who built and has been it's
superintendent since its erection
in 1902, and who is recognized
as one of the best carbon black
manufacturers in the world.
Mr.. Cabot Is to be congratulated
upon securing the services OF
Mr.. Oles.
The capacity of the new plan
is about LOO lbs. daily, and the
quality of the black is said to be

The old company composed
principally of Pittsburg capital

as Mr.. Cabot has always beer
well liked by his employees, WE
anticipate increased prosperity
for all concerned.

The present road is a narrow
guage, but the road-bed was
graded SO that it can be con-
verified into a standard guage,
which, we are informed, will be
done. The original survey ran
to the mouth of Steer Creek, in
this county, and the road will
likely be extended in time to
hat point.
