JOHN W. DAVIS, WEST
VlRGlNIAN, MAKING GOOD

Mark Sullivan. magazine writer and
editor, who recently returned from
Paris, where hcmado drst-h hand obser-
vations OF the peace negotiations, and
who has been making tour of this
country telling about some OF the
things he saw and heard, delivered a
lecture in Wheeling.
Incidentally, MIR sullivan paid a high
tribute, while In Wheeling. to John w.
Davis, United States Ambassador TO
Great Britain and one OF West Vir-
ginia's distinguished Democrats, being
resident OF Clarksburg.
"Mr Davis has one of the keenest
minds have ever come In contact
with" Mr, Sullivan declared. II first
had the pleasure OF meeting him in
Washington when he was Solicitor
General, and we became well acquaint-
ed. We were passengers on the steam
ship Adriatic going to England. and |
aftcrward met him in his official ca
pacity as Ambassador in London.
The English people have taken a
fancy to Mr. Davis and they say he
measures up 10 any American who
ever represented the United States at
the Court OF st. James. Mr.. Davis is
a lovabie character, and, in my opinion,
is az big n man as we have in this
country He has great future and
great things may be expected of him. y

at Ashland KY, has been operated by
the First Cincinnati district. Dams
No 80 and 80 have heretofore been a
part of the First Cincinnati district

The Louisa Office.
Louisa people will regret to learn
that the office is to be moved from
here 10 Catlettsburg, although the
force here has consisted Of only one
person for quite while.
1t Is not improbable that Mr.. b. F.
Thomas may take personal charge of
the Catlettsburg office, after bong re
lieved OF his present position in charge
OF the Cincinnati district This Will
probably occur as soon as regulas
army officer shall have been assigned
to the Cincinnati district,
The Louisa office was established
August s, 1888, and has turned out a
importance from an engineering stand
point.
1t is expected to put the dam at
Greenup under construction by the
National Contract Company, very soon.
Also bids are to be opened on the dam
at Vanceburg soon.

U. s. Engineers office in Louisa and
has since been in the GAINESVILLE Ohio,

BRIDGE BEING REPAIRED.

After several months delay the new
bridge at Shannon Branch is being
repaired by the Champion Bridge Com
pany This company built the bridge
without county supervision, and of
course did not put in a proper founda-
tion The first high water let it down.
1t is said the repairs are being left to
the tender mercies of the company,
without any one being present to see
whether or not the people get the
worth of their money by having a job
done that will stand the tests that
must come later. If this report be
true, the officers should be enjoined
from paying for the bridge until high
waters shall give 1t more thorour
tests
