TRACTION LINE To
WASHINGTON, PA.
CONFIRMATION OF PROPOSED LINE
FROM WEST ALBXAN-
DER PROPOSED.
West Penn Interests Negotiating for
Right Of Way from Washington
to Connect at West Alex.

II present plans do not miscarry
Wheeling merchants will soon have adj
ditional territory from which 10 attract
trade for within a short time it is IN
tended To extend the present trolley line
! operated from Wheeling TO West AalcN-
andcr TO Washington. Pa
II is stated on good authority that the
West Penn interests arc now negotiating
for riGht-oF-way from Washington to
West Alexander. at which point the line
would connect with the lin" to Wheel
ing. thus establishing through trolley
connection between Pittsburgh and this
city.
Just prior to the declaration or war
the project was we'll under way and a
survey had boon made over portion OF
the roadway. but with the breaking off
of relations with Germany the PROPOSE
ton was given up and when war was
finally declared there was no further
action taken in this respect. The high
cost Of material. labor and everything
that goes with il sine" the war closed
also hampCrcd the proposition Of push
ing 1t through.
However the general cos; OF material
Ia not thought To b" quite so high now
and with the labor proposition again
getting back TO normal II is likely that
some sort Of 4 proposition VIII be IN
dertakcn with Tn" object in view OF get
ting the survey completed and the mat
ter of right OF ways also settled
If the former plans arc followed there
will be no tunnels, but instead the road
way would follow tho ridge the greater
part Of the way and would connect with
the local line in the west end of Wash
ingt6n and with the West Virginia Trac-
ton and Electric Company lines at
West Alexander. The lines are said 10
actually be controlled by the same par
ent company. an eastern corporation and
with the line completed it would mean
much 10 Wheeling merchants.

Against Any Alliance

recently returned from n visit to Europe.
declared in an address in the house to-
day that he was moro convinced than
ever after a survey OF the situation that
the United States should stand aloof
from entangling alliances abroad.
1t cannot be possible" Mr.. Madden
said. for our people to mingle with the
people there on equal terms: they do
not think like we do. Invisible border
lines make it necessary for them TO be
watchful of each other. They are sus-
piCious one nation OF the other and you
cannot make them otherwise. Their in

able"

IL approved 'is likely TO lead US into
trouble" Mr.. Madden said TO obtain con-
ccssions Of peace II was necessary for
the United States to refrain from enter
ing into any contract in advance. that
will almost certainly involve US in war.
My judgment Is that America" ne
said should not send her boys TO for

AT THE STATE FAIR

was kid. They had all I was a.
| lookin' for, though Monroe Peak,
which runs the DuPre Auto Co., who
seed sittin' over on the tother side,
with one eye closed, sorter owl like,
sed he'd seen just as good many a
time. Twan't nothing new to him. 1
seed a good many other married men
there but some of 'em got's wives is
sorter funny, so I reckon better keep
| it to myself. ..,.
Fore I forgitr rit. saw a feller looked
/ like some kind of a foreigner take his
wife and pub her to sleep and leave
her stretchedsput in the air, resting
on a broom handle. He said he al
ways done this when he wanted to go
away and leave her; SOS he could find
her when he cum back. I seed a lot
of married men I knew looking at this
feller kinder wishful like and one of
them looked like he started to take
out his roll as if he wanted to pay
the man to teach him the trick, but
he ,c didn't. But Cy shealy, who's
been sorter helping Col. Frank Efird
to run the fair, was seen talking
kinder secretly to this feller that
night Cy says he was just check
ing up on him for the money he pays
the fair people, and that he amt got
no notion: O. getting married. Maybe
not ... ..
After while I got tired er looking
at these shows, so I says to Sallie, I'm
a-going down to see the hogs and
cows And they was there too.
seed one hog that they sed weighed
twelve hundred pounds and another
that the feller that owned it sed he
would sell for ten thousand dollars
He sed the ten thousand sorter fast,
like it warn t. much money, which it
amt to John D. Rockefeller, but as
far as I was concerned the gosh dern-
ed thing just as weller sold for ten
million dollars I reckon, though,
nobody don't buy hog like that to
eat. guess maybe for. stock pur-
poses it's alright to have ten thous-
and dollar hog, but I spent already
s1.25 at this fair and there's limit
to all things, so I passed up the bar
gain. Maybe I did wrong at that.
But there was certainly some fine
hogs at the fair. They was well
worth seeing, and made feller feel
like maybe the boil weevil warn't

inte; the habit of growing such ami
mails.
There wuz some fine COWS there too
and a lot of them the most I ever
seed together in one place. I was
glad to see folks taking interest in
these good breeds. Maybe we can git
some of that stock in this country
after while, which will mean a good
thing for US all.
Another great sight I seen was a
Fordson tractor without driver
which the feller who was looking
after it sed it had been er running
three days right in a circle, without
stopping and with nary a living soul
a guiding the durn thing. 1t made
me feel kinder hanted like at first
until I sorter thought what it meant.
You know after while they'll have
them things fixed with an alarm
clock, SOS it'll start itself and go right
out to the field and plow and not wait
for nobody to hitch up or nothing. If
sich be the case I believe Sim Hen
drix'll git back to farming, cause he
can set the thing and won't have to
git up so soon in the morning.
I seed some fine poultry at the fair
too. Looked to me like it was better
than usual. I seed good many Lex
ington folks in there, Sam Leaphart
was in here. Sam believes in more
chickens whether they are better
chickens or not. In fact they do say
that Sam don't have no hankering for
'em when they're too good. But,
however, there warn't nothing but
good ones there, and don't think
Sam was there very long. There was
some others there too, but ] amt
