AS the men worked the wind blew
furiously and cold but as they were
working for the city they decided that
they best get 1t over with today and
get rid of the environment.
Announcement was made yesterday
that all the wood poles which at pres.
ent stick into the air along Fairmont' S
beautiful main street will be things
OF the past by the first Of the year
This was given out last evening by
men engaged in putting down the new
iron poles. Arrangements were made
yesterday between Dan Maurer of the
lighting department of the Mononga'
hela Valley Traction company Offices
for both that company and the Bell
Telephone company to use the same
poles In the residence section of the
city where the traction line hits.
The race scheduled for today be.
tween Mayer Anthony Bowen and Al.
bert Kern, one half mile around the
Fair Grounds track, was postponed on
account of wet grounds and the snow
flurrics preventing any sane man from
going into the ozone in track pants.
The race will be held the first pretty
Gay" that comes this way. Albert Leh
