CAMERON.
Cameron, in the same county, Is the
nextimportant station, and Is a thriving
town, which is, by reason Of its loca-
ton, well adapted to become manu-
featuring and lumber centre. The con-
tiguous country is rich in farm and tim
Der lands.
Between this point and Warrington,
a little moro than sixty miles southeast
Of Wheeling, are number OF villages,
Littleton, Bolton, Glover's Gap and
others marked on the map, where the
lumber industry Is carried on extern
sively. In this distance the road skirts
the northeastern boundary Of Wetzel
county, which; isione Of the richest in
West Virginia. It's nearness TO market
for farm and lumber products makes 1t
q desirable section. Its coal and lime
stone beds have had little development
and the county is an inviting field for
operations. On the West 1t fronts the
Ohio river, and the Ohio River railroad
skirts that border. 81 "
HARRINGTON OIL YIELDS.
Warrington is in Marion county, and
is the centre of the now famous Marion
county oil field, recently developed, and
the present scene of the greatest activity
in the West Virginia oil region. This
field has been developed within the
past twelve months, and during that
time steady stream Of oil operators
has been pouring into the region, and
an immense quantity Of land has been
taken up and developed. There are
large number OF producing wells, those
belonging to one firm alone producing
1000 barrels per day, and the output
since the developments begun has been
very great. Warrington is near what is
supposed to be tile Eastern edge OF the

which formerly passed by West yir-
ginia in search OF homes and fortunes
In the West, has come to realize that
region wonderfully rich in all the
sources Of wealth lies nearer home, in
easy reach Of the Atlantic seabord, as
well as the great distributing points OF
the West and South. So it is that now
this food is stopping in the Virginias
and the present activity, with solid
basis, exists along the lines of the great
carrying systems.
The doom" il not fictitious, but is Of
that steady. substantial character ex-
perienced sooner or later by every re-
zion blessed with natural resources. It
has forced itself on West Virginia and
Virginia because, within the limits OF
these States, nature has planted the
raw materials that are the sources Of
wealth to the manufacturer, the miner,
the merchant and the agriculturist and
because these materials exist in almost
inexhaustible quantities 1t has come to
stay. It is an energetic, yet conserya-
tive Doom" based on what the region
possesses within itself, and the growth
Is not OF the mushroom character,
since it follows steadily and surely in
the wake of legitimate development OF
mineral, timber and other resources.

business of the the company for the year
ending November 80, 1890. was of a
very large volume, reaching several
million dollars, and was sufficiently
profitable to warrant dividend equal to
90 per cent of the commissions paid.
The total volume of the dividends is
over $4,000. An estimate of the cost
of the commercial agent or a drummer
system shows, according to Alliance
figures, that in the United States was
paid $267, 900, 900 in the year 1889 as
hotel and travelling expenses of COM
mercial agents. The Kansas farmers are
strongly opposed to paying this tribute
to the drummers, and in some localities
have refused to patronize merchant
who buys goods of a drummer, They
will adopt the cooperative plan this
year to a greater extent than ever be-
fore, and announce their determination
to buy all supplies at first hands and do
away with Intermediate profits"

WHO CAN ANSWER?

Will some sociologist or political econ
omist explain how it comes that half
dozen short-haired female residents OF
the state, or for that matter, how a
couple of Gougers and Mallorys from
other states, can, By visiting Topeka, at
any time when the legislature is in ses-
sion, in the course of very few days
and nights, put the leaders Of both
houses in flutter of anxiety over the
question of female suffrage, when the
same bodies will hardly deign to even
notice the respectful prayer of seventy
thousand male voters to be heard on a
question which they are convinced
effects the material prosperity of the en-
tire state: We but assert fact which
cannot be gainsaid. 1t will not do to
say that their perturbation comes of any
consideration for the women of Kan
sas, for the proof is absolute
and official that not one woman
in ten desires any such Innovation
thrust into her life, as suffrage. Upon
the other hand the petitions, bearing the
names of 10000 male residents of Kan
sas, for another vote on prohibition, lie
piled up in the state house. No, the
blatant, brassy Helen Cougars. the
questionable Malloys, the wrlggling
Diggses. the ponderated Leases and their
cold blooded coadjutors, not dozen
dozen all told, can make more represen-
tative fools and turn more senatorial
heads, in given number of minutes,
than the pending political revolution
which not only threatens, but which is
on even now.

COOPERATIVE STORES.

The Topeka correspondent Of the
Globe-Democrat furnishes that paper the
following outlines of plan of opera
tons the Alliance has on foot that may
be of greater significance IN practical,
business way than their attempt to con-
troll political affairs:
1.-The controlling members of the
Farmers Alliance announce that they
intend to resume the organi cation of CO.
operative stores for handling all classes
of merchandise used by farmers, and to
furnish the same at a. small advance
above cost, and without payment of
profits TO middlemen or commercial
agents. They argue that the farmers are
supporting from six to ten stores in
every community, and paving profit of
from 10 to 40 per cent on what they
buy, whereas all the goods can be
handled by one man IL each place at
much less expense, and the saving can
be used for the benefit of the farmers.
As an indication of what can be accom-
plished in this direction. they refer
to the Jefferson County Co-opera-
tive association, which was Or
ganized at Olathe, Kan, fifteen
years ago, under the auspices of the
Grange. They started with capital of
$500, and have transacted in fifteen years
business amounting 10 s2,79l, 349. 81;
their net profits for the same period, less
interest and expenses, being Sl5i, $40. Il.
1t now has a capital Of SO, 900, surplus
fund of S25, 600, and owns building
costing $4,000. Another equally sue
cessful institution in this state Is the
Patrons Cooperative Association. Of
Linn county, of which the manager says:
I'VE began business in 1915 with about
$50 capital. The stock has been increas-
ed until we have over 81 600 invested in
goods and S25, 600 in buildings. In 1886
we sold 81 1000 worth of goods. Sales
are increasing about 81 900 each year,
until this year. in which our sales reach
81, 900, all cash. We pay cash and get
the benefit of cash discounts. Our build
ing has been increased in size until we
have 3,4S0 feet of floor room. The capt.
tai stock is divided into shares OF -
each. Only Patrons of Husbandry are
eligible 10 membership. Interest at the
rate of 6 per cent is paid upon the CAPT
tai stock. which amount Is first
taken out of the profits OF the year s
business. About one-half Of the re-
mainder is applied TO a reserve fund,
and the balance divided among mem
bers in proportion. We have a reserve
fund of $. 600. This fund is kept as
guaranty that our stock viii always be
at par, and is only TO be used in case OF
emergency"

THE STATUS OF THE STRIP

ROME, Kan, Feb. 26, 1891.
To the Editor Of the Eagle,
Can Secretary Noble treat with the
Cherokees and bring the strip in for settle
ment without an action Of congressf Who
decided, and when did they decide, that
the Cherokees did not have valid claim
to the strip? Did the supreme court de-
eide that the strip was public domain
Answer through the Daily EAGLE, as soon
as convenient. j. A. DAVIS.
No, Noble cannot SO treat with the
Cherokees. Both the secretary Of the
interior and the attorney general have
recently decided that the Cherokees hold
no fee-simple to the lands of the strip,
but only an easement. The supreme
court never had the question before it.
The people are My restrained from
moving on to and occupying the lands in
question by the power vested in the pres
ident, whose mandates. through his Sec
rotary of the interior, will doubtless be
made good by subsequent laws, rules
and proclamations, rendering it unwise
and unsafe to go on TO the lands in add
vance of further action of congress or of
a formal proclamation of permission
from the chief executive-Ep. EAGLE.

HOW FEDERAL JUDGES ARE PAID

Several congressman in a recent debate
in the house took the post on that 5000
a year would be too much to pay our fed
eral district judges.
There are sixty two of these judges,
and the New York Herald says that one
of them gets $1,000 year, one or two of
them 81, 800, and the others So, 800 each.
In New York the judges are paid as
follows: Court of appeals, $4,000;
superior conrt in New York City, ST.
500; superior court of common pleas,
1000, and police courts $4,000.
These are good salaries, but their re-
cipients do no more to earn them than
the Woodworking United states judges.
The trouble with our government is
that it squanders money in some direc-
tions and is unreasonably stingy in others.
The best way to keep first-class men on
the federal bench is to pay them decent
salaries
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1891-03-01
KEEPING THEMSELVES IN

The first step in the hog program
limited at by the EAGLE two or three
times, was carried out in the appoint
ment of John A. Anderson to a consul
ship. If the scheme goes through Perk-
ms will be y. S. attorney for the First
district, Peters. U. S. judge of the
Second district, and Turner U. s. mar
shall for the Second district. Tom Ryan
had already been made minister to
Mexico after being in office as long as
any of them except Peters and Perkins,
who have never drawn an unofficial
breath since they became citizens of the
state. Ady, of Newton, will hold his
place. and Dick Walker his.
Of course the people of the state can't
help themselves, but if the boss-ridden
Republican party stands that it will
stand anything.
