ton business men have closed deal
by which the Independent Steel Com,
pany plant at Kenova is turned over
to a large concern which will com
mence the manufacture Of mine cars
this being one of the largest factories
located in the Tri-State region in many
months.
The new concern expects to be IN
operation by the first OF the year and
will employ 200 men. The new coal
development in the Eastern Kentucky
field has opened up good market for
this business and the company will
also have for its trade the y. & W
coal fields. the coal business OF the
Guyan Valley and Kanawha and New
River coal fields.
The cheap gas supply OF the Hunt
ington Development & Gas Company,
which furnishes five cent gas TO fac
tories, was large factor in securing
the industry.
Another recent factory acquisition
for Kenova is the Basis Products Com
pany, which has contracted for a mil

Rose, manufacturers OF twist tobacco
are moving their manufacturing plant
from Kentucky to Kenova TO get close
to the market afforded by the Hunt

markets in the country.

the same pleasant thing. TO be on
such intimate terms and WELD In
huenee IN high places, Is the prize
that all politicians strive for. They
know OF no higher reward for their
services.
A presidential sentiment started In
West Virginia earlier than in any
other state. Mr.. Justice Hughes was
the object OF II. Months ago there
was very healthy and noticeable
sentiment favorable TO him. 1t was
evidenced by an interview with Gov.
ernor Hatfield in which he came out
strongly and unreseveredly for the
nomination Of the Supreme Court
Justice. That was before Justice
Hughes Joined in deciding the debt
suit against West Virginia and a week
before he directed the issuance OF
statement declaring that as candi'
date he was not available" 1t was
brought a disclaimer from Hughes,
However. it is not thought on the Re
publican side that the debt decision
hurt Hughes standing with these
West Virginians who see in him the
logical man to nominate 10 reunitc
the party. Senator Chiffon and other
Democratic leaders take a contrary
view. Among those who supported
Roosevelt there is. according to many
reports, a strong liking for Hughes
But your men who roundup nation

Hughes. That candidacy. If such ii
can be called. is too intangible for
them. They want more concrete

conditions. such as hopeless dead

they don't regard it as probability

That Is the question that they are
evidently figuring on now. and from
all Indications most Of them seem 10
like the looks of the Hon. Theodore

CHICAGO, July 23.-Reports that
black rust had begun attacking the
stems OF wheat in South Dakota led
to quick upturn today in the market

strong, &c to 1%c above last night.
Corn gained sc to 1l4c net. and oats
&c to 1Sc. In provisions the out
come ranged from 73sc decline TO an
advance Of &C.
Attention to black rust took first
place in the wheat pit the moment
news came that vital part OF the
plant was being attacked. All pre-
7ious advices had been that the blight
had touched only the leaves and that
there was apparently not much cause
for alarm II the weather remained
windy and clear. Today's dispatches
however, seemed to put a radically
different aspect on the situation. the
harvest in the fields endangered be-
ing 10 to 20 days off, leaving ample
time for serious losses in case atmos'
