CONFER WITH WILSON
< REGARDING COAL PRICE

HARRISBURG, w. Va. Sept. A.
Small coal operators of this section
who are compelled to haul their prod
uct from their mines to railroad cars,
have devised means to prevent the
suspension of operations at their
plants, and Thomas J. Francis, of Will
.sonburg, will head a delegation that
will go to Washington this week and
lay the matter before President VIII
son. The operators want the president
to change his coal price fixing order
so as to make the price of 81 ton
of West Virginia coal opply to coal
at the mouth, of the mines instead of
in railroad cars as at present.

dent work to the grand total of 278S
for the year 1861. This, Of course,
takes no account OF the magnificent
work done by the Agricultural Elk
tension Department which REACHES
thousands of West Virginia farmers
in the most direct and beneficial way
through County Farm Agents, an ex-
tensive mail service and through a
corps of Extension employees who
travel throughout the State.
So, although West Virginia Uni
versity may not yet have the pres
tige that some of the more widely
known State Universities have, she
is nevertheless, rapidly taking her
place among the leading Universities
of the country. ~

BAD fruit AND
UNCERTAIN PACK
MR.. SUMMERS SAYS Is LARGELY
RESPONSIBLE FOR PEACH
PRICE DROP.

MIR. w. II. Summers, manager Of
the Cherry Run Orcahrd Company,
who came here yesterday attending
the fruitmen's meeting at ]. w. Stew
arts orchard-farm, took time to talk
over the peach situation with which
he is very familiar. He says the pri-
mary cause of uncertain markets and
a general decline in prices the past
few days is due to poor quality of
fruit, the packages being lorgely very
uncertain because of brown rot and
other diseases, and besides the poor
quality in size and color which DOM
mated more than half the entire crop
of the country has sorely tempted the
peach growers to pack bad fruit with
the good.
Referring to the orchards of his
own company, he said the crop is
above the average, and that regular
shipments Of sarefully graded peach.
es sent out have been bringing sat
isfactory prices
He says that the peach belts east
OF the Rockies have produced only a
light crop and much of it of poor
quality, so there is everything to make
the really good fruit bring satisfac,
tory prices.

Others, and ! say it deliberately, are

Rather let the Kaiser be discoura ged
