wESTyIRGINIA FORESTS.

There is no kind of property which
the average West Virginia farmer is so
much disposed to undervalue as the
wood that grows upon his lands.
Many farmers, who ought to know
better, are accustomed, in their haste to
get land under cultivation, to girdle and
burn vast tracts of the most magniti-
cent forest. This is very common
sight in our State.
Every stick of timber on our hills and
valleys is growing into money every
day. The consumption of timber in our
country is increasing beyond concep-
ton, and even the common fine wood
is becoming valuable. 1t is probable
that S0,OOO,OOO people in the United
States are warmed by wood fuel, con-
summing more than one hundred million
cords year. To supply the city of Chi
cago alone, it is stated, that in a single
year ten thousand acres of forest were
stripped.
In many parts OF the country In which
only few years ago there was an
abundance of forest and to spare, the
farmers are now obliged to haul coal or
fuel many miles at either great labor or
expense. Every tree and sapling now
growing on West Virginia soil will be
marketable in q few years, and the hard
woods will he immensely valuable.
Farmers will be wise if they husband
this part of our natural resources.

A SPECK OF WAR.

A conflict Of jurisdiction been the
Boone county Circuit Court and the L.
5. District Court, Judge j. J. JACKSON,
has created a stir in that county which
smacks of war. The matter at issue is
thus related by the Charleston State
Tribune:
Vim. Thompson, the commissioner for
the sale of school lands in Boone county,
had advertised to sell the Burr Wakeman
tract of land containing some $1,000 acres
under decree from the Boone Circuit
Court. rendered in proceeding to sell said
lands as forfeited to the State for the nou-
payment of taxes. Maj. ThOs. l.. BrOun,
who is the attorney for the defendant, OBJ
tanned an injunction from Judge ]. ]. Jack
son, of the L. : District Court, inhibiting
the sale of said lands The injunction was
served on Thompson on the day OF the sale,
by Deputy T. S. Marshal Porter. ConmiS
sioner Thompson Immediately reported
the fact TO Judge Johnston, who was hold
ing court at that time. The Judge became
very angry at this unwarranted interior
ence on the part of Judge Jackson and said
that the United States courts were aSSum-
ing too much authority and usurping
the Jurisdiction of the State courts,
NblCh ne NOulu not allow. anu III the peO-
pie of the state of West Virginia would
stand by him he would stop it even if it
required the force of arms. Judge John
>ton then sent for Maj. BrOun, who was
attending court at the time, and placed him
under arrest for contempt of his court in
procuring from another court an injunc-
ton restraining proceedings in his, and
refused TO release him until he promised
to dismiss his proceedings in the United
states Courts.
II is useless to comment on this. We
have told the story as we heardit; il speaks
for itself. and we trust and expect His
Honor John J. Jackson, 10 speak for HIM
self We presume Judge Johnson ConClud-
al that Boone county was an independent
empire, and as he said. States rights must
Tee preserved, and, We presume, he meant
Co do il. More about this next week.

HELPING THEMSELVES TO RAIL.
ROADS.

We are pleased to observe growing
disposition among the people of West
Virginia to cease pursuing phantoms in
the matter of railroad building and to
build for themselves.
Our people have lost time and lost
heart by pandering and parlying to
foreign capital and fiimsy promises of
aid. 1t was not until the Weston road
was completed that our people have
taken hold of the conception that they
are able to build their own roads; that
these little narrow guage roads are
ample for local purposes; that they are
sufficient to develop county and serve
all its business interests; that, in fact,
these short line roads are the roads that
pay dividends to the stockholders as
well as profits to all the interests in
volved.
Almost any of the more populous
counties of the state are able to build
one Of these short lines. All of them
can afford to do it. Many of them will
do it in the near future; and all that do
not, will wish they had, before many
years hence.
The projectors of the Grafton and
Greenbrier road are manifesting de-
termination which we believe will win.
So also are the people Of Preston county
in the matter of connecting Kingwood
with the b. Il o.
1t is estimated that the former can be
built and stocked between Grafton and
PhiIippi for Sl25,OOO. If this be so, why
shouldn't our people buildit themselves?
WHY have they not built it long ago?
The JsBcrSonjon-says they already have
a public subscription of $4,000 in Bar
bOur, and a private subscription of S25,-
900 in Taylor. The private subscription
along the line is $4,000 more. Here is
nearly the whole sum required, ifthe es-
tima'es are correct
In Preston they will soon vote on sub
scribing to their project. And in Up
shur they will vote on the extension Of
the Weston road to BuckhannOn.
Ifthese three projects succeed, rail-
road building will have good run in
the State. 1t will not stop with these.
1t will become contagious. One road
cannot be built without inspiring
dozen Others. These projects we have
referred to are the legitimate offspring
of the Weston road, and they in turn,
when built, will be prolific breeders Of
new projects all over the State.
If our people had sufficient courage
and faith in their own abilities, any or
all of these railroad projects, and more,
would be begun, and so much Of them
built as possible. 1t is not always nee
essary to finish a railroad at once. If it
has one good terminus let few miles be
built and that much equipped and put
to earning something. 1t will never
stop after it j. once started. Railroads
are never torn up and abandoned. They
go forward carrying population, busi-
ness and wealth with them, and there
is no shOrt-line road now projected in
the State that could not be started and
built, few miles at time, and made
to help pay its own way. Let our peO-
pie take on new courage in railroad
building. The way to-build railroads is
to build them, and they are never fin
ished unless they are first begun.

1t is whispered that, at the proper mo-
ment, Mr.. Stephens will he put forward for
the governorship; that the matter is being
quietly worked up by big men; that at
present Mr. Stephens is not fayOrably in
clined, but the pressure will compel his &C
ceptance. The impression left upon our
mind has hitherto been that, under no cir
cumstances. would Mr.. Stephens allow his
name to be presented for the governorship.
