Our Timber Interest.
TO the Editor of the BIG sroys ros1.y


BIG STONE Gar. Nov. }, 1890
An article in your last issue entitled
Climber Lands-What Eight Men Found
on the Mountains Adjacent to Big Stone
Gap in Ten Days, is apt TO create Il wrong
impression regarding the timber resources
of this country. Your informant states
that eight men counted .GS walnut trees
sixteen inches in diameter and the same
number of poplar eighteen inches in diam
ctcr, and othcv timber ot the same proper
Tomato and ridiculously small diameter
Now, every iimhcrman knows that such
timber has but little commercial value,
and your authority must have been either
Il thcorist or sent the men cut with tape
lines only twcnty-four inches long. thus
compelling them to overlook large Tim
Der.
AS for ourselves we can state that our
walnut timber in His country runs from
twenty-lour to sixty inches iii diameter
(thc Hoffman Lumber Company having no
walnut under thirty inchcs.) our poplar
from thirty TO seventy inches: and We would
feel obliged to have YOU insert this letter
in your next publication and thus help to
undo harmful and erroneous statement.
Very respectfully.

library NOTES,

Failing TO get our report ready fol
last weeks paper we will at this time
take the opportunity to thank all the
people for their ready response in
helping with the festival held at the
park for the benefit of the library.
We would also apologize for and ex-
plain the reason why some of the ice
cream served that evening was sour.
The custard was made all right, but
owing TO the man not coming, as he
had promised, to freeze the cream, 1t
stood too long before another person
could he found TO do the work. The
consequence was the custard must
have soured. We, however, were not
aware of it until complaints were
madc and can only say we are very
sorry that anyone was disconnected
by il. The disappointment was severe
to the library workers as we feel a
clear $40 was lost TO the library. Had
all been as expected we would have
made more and felt better. We thank
the band for their excellent music and
extend 10 them hearty invitation to
visit the reading room often.
The attendance for the mouth of
June was, as reported, 1856; that OF
July has heen 322, nearly double. All
who are interested in this work can
not but feel encouraged. The average
attendance for last week was q; this
week 1t Is %.
Contributions OF books received last
week and this from Mrs. II. r. Grow.

pERsECUTIoN IN RUSSIA.

The persecution of the Jews in Russia is
going briskly on. For instance, circular
has been sent to the various local officials
in Kischenoff to the effect that if any ''Jid"
Russian for jew, riding in a street car is
occupying a seat and a Christian enters
who can find no vacancy the ''Jid"i is bound
to give up his seat. And if the "Jid" re-
fuses then the Christian can lodge COM
plaint against him with the gendarme who
will enter it ON a protocol and the Sid"
will be punished by Punishment from the
four neighboring districts. Likewise if a
and the latter has two witnesses to testify
that the Slid" insulted him, then the
offense is punished under the same rule
The regulations about street quarrels make
it easy for any three loungers or roughs to
abuse any Jew they happen to meet, get
into fight, and then two of them can
readily swear that the Jew gave the in
suit and have him sent out of the four dis
tricts.
A law which is now revived is that
which prohibits Jews from living within
fifty miles of the frontier and the result is
that every Russian paper contains brief
statements that SO many Jews were ex-
PEELED from certain towns along the from
tier. This process of driving the Jews out OF
| the frontier towns into the interior is going
on rapidly. Many who can afford to travel
any other way than afoot are emigrating
Other regulations prevent a Jewish shoe
maker from selling shoes unless they were
made by himself. A matchmaker can sell
his own watches, but he cannot buy anc
sell watches. For refusing or neglectinl
to doff their hats to the officials and gentr.
they receive due punishment, and it i
announced. that for such offenses the Jew
may no longer have the usual trials, bu
their punishment shall be at the discretion
of the minor magistrates before whom tn
offender is dragged.
No wonder the Russian Jews are glad b
come to this land of the brave and hom
| of the free, where they can shout "Cas
paid for ragsl" undisturbed.
