BACK FROM THE WEST.
Frauds and Irregularities in the Customs
 Service.
From the Boston Herald,l l


 Special Treasury Agent Converse J. Smith of Boston, who has been absent from his district for about year ard a half, making examinations in several of the western states, has returned. His tour was a remarkable one in view of the fact that the commission of which he was member found so many cases of fraud on the part of govern ment officials. As 8 result of the ex- aminations, many officials were re- moved and thousands of dollars saved for the government.
 In September, 1898, Mir. Smith was assigned by the treasury department to make some examinations of the GUS toms service in the western states. It was then expected that he would be absent from Boston but two or three months. But special investigations and additional examinations of customs districts were from time to time as- signed to him, the result being that he covered all the territory from Alaska to Arizona. Of the l7 special agencies which cover the entire United States, Mir. Smith inspected five. They were the districts including Montana and Idaho; California, Alaska, Oregon and Washington, western Texas and cer- tain portions of the southern states.
 Mir. Smith was associated with the agents of the various districts in which he made examinations. On the way west, the customs business in Montana and Idaho were examined, requiring four weeks time. The collector of this district is the Hon. David G. Browne, one of the most efficient customs off, cers in the country.
 Two months were then spent in Alaska, the entire territory being one collection district, the main office be- ing at Sitka. As result of the work in this district, the customs force was reorganized, effecting large reduc-  tion in expenses. Several officers were removed from the service, and, as a re- suit of the examinations, Collector Ivy has since handed in his resignation.
 When government was formed for Alaska, Congress decided that the laws of Oregon should govern that territory. At that time Washington was terri tory. Vast sums were lost to the GUS toms revenue by the smuggling of liquors and other merchandise from Canada. Liquor in bond, in transit from Canada through the United States, from Skaguay to Dawson, ostensibly was sent out of the country by way of the White pass, but t.Ie ex- animation showed that much of the liquor was actually returned by Skaguay through the connivance of United States customs officers, or by their failure to properly perform their

oarnegie's Advice to Young Men.

l. Never enter barroom, nor
let the contents of a barroom enter
you.
2. Do not use tabacco.
3. Concentrate Having entered
upon certain line of work continne
and combine upon that line.
A. Do not shirk: rather go be-
yond your task. Do not let any
young man think he has performed
his duty when he has performed the
task assigned him. A man will
never rise if he acts thus. Promo
tion comes from exceptional work.
A man must discover where his en-
ployer's interests lie and push for
these. The young man who does
this is the young man whom capital
wants for partner and son-in-law.
He is the young man who by and
by reaches the head of the firm.
5. Save little always. What
ever your wages, lay by something
from them.
6. Never speculate. Never buy
stock or grain or margin.

We Pass the Third Mile Post.

The Daily New DOMINION cele-
bfates its Third Anniversary.
We explode firecracker
We run up our flag at full mast.
We make merry in very modest
way over the achievement OF having
pit our young bantling solid on
both feet.
We take to our selves the exeep-
tional credit of achieving the posi-
bility of daily paper for Morgan
town. Our precocious youngster
has passed the ordeal of teething,
collie, measles, and mumps, and has
reached the immune period of
healthy growth and steady develop
ment.
The time will never come again
when this community will be with
out daily paper. 1t is now an es-
sablished institution one of the
estates of our realm Our people
could not afford and would not en-
dnre the isolating experience of the
slow weekly edition Of the local
news.
1--WE claim, without any DISPOSE
ton to boast, that much OF our local
development and business prosperity
is due to the fact that the Daily
New DOMINION brought all classes
of our people and business indus
tries into closer acquaintance and
kept them informed of the opportun-
tiles and movements in the develop
ment Of our possibilities and enab-
led them to move together toward "a
higher prosperity.
There is nothing like a daily pa
per as stimulus to business actiy-
ity.
X We make our bow to the good
Citizens of Morgantown and Monon-
gala County whose generous patron
age has enabled us to accomplish
this signal success in the news pa
/, per field The New DOMINION has
always led not only in the develop
ment of its own field of business
but in the promotion Of every enter
prise that tends to the advancement
of our people
We promise to continue to pub
fish the best small daily newspaper
in West Virginia. We will continue
to lead and to surpass all competi-
tors. We are here to stay. Other
enterprises will come and vanish,
but the Daily New DOMINION will go
right on.
