100000. This sum viii be raised in
Fairmont by local scouts tomorrow.
A meeting has been called for 1880
o'clock this evening at the Y. NJ. G. A.

ton Of the campaign will be worked

only. requested but emphaticauy urged
to be on hand at 1880 o'clock this even
ing to lend assistance in the campaign.
Tomorrow will be campaign day and
/ in order to put the campaign "over the
top" there must be an immediate re-
| Spouse from every Scout. No 1nfor-
nation whatever concerning the cam
paign was received in Fairznont until
yesterday morning. Due to this tact
the plans for the campaign have not
been worked out.
Yesterday morning telegram vas
received by F. B. Pryor from j. o.

back ascking that more Information
be sent on the campaign. This was
received this morning.
The main purpose OF the campaign

ICE ON RIVERS IS

West Pork This
Morning.

Warm weather OF yesterday and to-
day is breaking up the ice which has
covered the local streams for the past
several days. It is likely that the ice
on the local streams will go out before
midnight tonight.
The West Fork river above Tuck
er station is already clear OF ice. A
gorge, over one mile In length, extends
from Tucker station down the west
Fork river to the intersection OF the
Monongahela river.
Ice on the Tygart Valley river. has
not broken up the river as far as
kingmont.
Ice on the Mononsahela river at
Fairmont is still solid, although it is
gradually being pushed from the
banks by the slowly rising water.
The water vas very high up the
West Fork river as 1t was going out
last night, although no damage has
been reported. AT some places 1t was
almost as high as it was during the
last high water
The ice Is only about three inches
in thickness and 1t is not believed that
any damage Will result as It goes ont.
unless heavy rains swell the streams
