All the spring the city officers have been
hearing complaints in regard to the riding
of bicycles on the sidewalks and about four
weeks ago the city marshal had cards
printed giving the city ordinance in regard
to the offence and these were posted in con-
spicuous places all over the city. 1t did
not do away with the trouble however for
tine complaints to the authorities have been
more numerous of late than ever. Tues
day evening two young men were arrested
and in police court Wednesday morning
plead guilty and paid So and costs each, the
smallest fine that could be imposed under
the wording of the ordinance.

which he paid. Marshall CrOwell displayed
good judgement and coolheadness in the

oe mined by simply quarrying in open cut;
anu aoast it an ore of like excellence
can DC delivered on cars at less cost else
where in America. A furnace test was
recently made on Virginia coke and the
run OF mine Of Cranberry ore, and pig
produced cotaining .03 per cent of phos-
phorus; and from practical furnace tests
and the analyses Of orc from many OPEN
ings, it is demonstrated that the entire
district contains in abundance nm ore
suited to thc manufacture of Besscmer
steel. This ore is nearer to coke Cat Big
Stone Gap) than is any other Besscmer
steel ore known TO me in America From
the Bessmer ores Of The lake region, the
source of nearly all the steel now made in
this country, to the nearest coke is about
S0O miles; from the Bcssemer ores of west
North Carolina to the coke at Big Stone
Gap it is 100 miles, and between these two
extremes are to be had the various ores
above described. Beyond the Blue Ridge,
in the Carolinas, are large deposits of
high-grade ores. A very great develop
ment in the manufacture of iron and steel
will follow up the completion of the roads
connecting the coking Goals and ores, i'll
the region under discussion.
GA Scoth iron manufacturer of large
experience, who spent some months in ex-
aiming the Goals and ores in the district
extending from southeastern Kentucky to
Western North Carolina, estimates the
cost Of making ton of pig iron at Big
Stone Gap at $7.SG; and thinks that Bcs-
semer steel can be made at the same place
at as low cost as in England. This csti-
mate agrees with estimates made by prac-
tical iron and steel manufacturers from
Pennsylvania who have made large in
vestments at Big Stone Gap for the pur-
pose of development.
Furnaces and Steel plants at Big Stone
Gap will have, in addition TO the local sup
ply of of coke, coal, and pure limestone,
the advantage of n location on competing
lines Of railway, and the advantage OF a
location on greet system that can deliver
the products direct to all ofthe great mar
kets in the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys.
The ores from East Tennessee, Southwest
Virginia, and the Carolinas can be ship
ped with advantage to these furnaces, as
it is carrying the ores in the direction OF
the markets, and these ores will give re-
turn freight for the cars of coal and coke
shipped from Big Stone Cap to those
States"

The Cowboy Fiction Is Rapidly Dying
Out in the West.
lSt. Louis Globe-Democra


"The cowboy romance and fiction
has few surviving types, said Charles
Warren, who is at the Linden. 81
have travelled all through Colorado
and the cattle range country almost
continuously the last few years, and
have been struck with the difference
between the cowboy as he is and the
cowboy as he is described. The only
time | ever saw man dressed and
equipped in what may be called reg
ulation dime-novel cowboy style was
a year or two ago, when two young
men from New York came out to eX-
haust cowboy fever.
'"They were armed from top to toe
wore hats with larger brlms than
could be purchased in Colorado from
end to end, high boots which must
have been made to order from plans
drawn by the wcarers themselves, and
with Winchester rifles of the hcavi-
est possible type. The young men
evidently thought they were obcylng
the scriptural instructions to DO or
dress in Rome as Rome does. "A
dozen or more active cowboys were
present when these two impetrous
youths got off the cars with their
equipments, and it is doubtful wheth-
err thew were more surprised at the
sight or whether the surprise
was not principally on the other
side. The next day the young men
had either hidden or. destroyed their
grotesque attire, and turned out with
the boys, dressed in a reasonable
garb.
"Two weeks of prosaic cattle-herd-
ing work was enough for the youths,
who returned East completely cured
and with very revised notions of how
cowboys dress and how they earned a
livelihood"

The Post Office Department deems ii quite import
ant that all the patrons post Offices should supply
themselves with Monthly Postal Guide. II would be
to their interest and business advantage. ms well as
vastly to the interest OF the postal service, siice II
would bring about more accurate knowledge OF the re-
auircmcpts OF that service, would reduce the amount
OF null matter improperly addressed poorly wrapped,

the number Of letters and packages going to the Dead
