The Destruction Of West va. Forests.

In recent contribution to the
Wheeling Intelligencer on the pass
ing of the Primeval Forests" HUI
Maxwell, in his inimitable manner,
call attention TO the remarkable raw
ages made by the lumberman in the
great timber districts in West Vir-
ginia. He says that within the past
fifteen years the devastation ia the
timber districts by the woodlands axe
has been wonderful, but that the de-
mutation of the forests has only COM
menced. ''The new railroads build
ing, the new mills and factories. and
the extensive preparations TO open
lumber camps 10 all sections show that
the rate of denudation in the past is
no criterion by which to judge the flu
ture; although the complete destruc-
tion which marks the work thus far
foretells what the remainder of the
forest covered tracts may expect before
much longer" Mr.. Maxwell calls at
tention to the fact that when the
timber is gone, the beauty Of the
mountains of the State will be de-
stroyed; there will be complete
change in the climate, and depres-
sing effect will be felt by all run
nil.r streams. He predicts that In
twenty years there will be little left
of the once glorious West Virginia
mountain forests.

GOOD ROADS.
This County will get Them in
the Near Future.

Plan adopted by the County Court to
that End-Seyeral Miles to be Fixed
Each YearNext Summer is to see
the Start Of the System Important
Roads to Receive First attention.
What about good roads for the
county? Isn't there some plan where
by this county can have roads built in
such way that we can be rid Of the
terrible mud with which we have to
contend every winter? These ques-
tions were addressed TO one of the
members of the county court by the
New DOMINION to-day.
There is way and it will be put in
to use during the coming summer. was
the answer given to these questions.
The county court has been talking of
the plan for some time and they will
probably do a great deal along that
line before next winter comes. We
will have to bear the mud this year
but next year we want TO start the
plan that will eventually result in all
of the roads of the county being mac
adamized.
Every year we have surplus in the
county treasury. This is to be APP
piled toward making good roads.
We think that there is nothing that
will help the country like having the
roads built IN scientific manner.
The present plan is costly and I'M
satisfactory one. 1t costs just as
much or more to keep them up now as
it would if they were built right.
Then they would be infinitely better.
It is proposed by the county court
to take what money they will have at
their disposal during the coming sum-
mer and macadamize the important
roads coming into Morgantown as far
as the money will go. Then the next
year go out farther until at last all of
the roads of the county will have had
their wants looked after.
BY this plan it will not cost very
much. The county will not feel the
expense and we will ia few years
have all of them looked after. Moth
ing will result in SO much good to the
county as such plan as this. T. will
enable people TO get to town or TO any
part of the county at any time during
the year. At times now in the winter
and spring the roads are almost i'm
passable. 1t will raise the value of
every farm in the county and it will
result 10 good to every one.
Along with the improvement in the
roads the county court believes in
building bridges and making other
internal Improvements that will be of
benefit to the people of the county.
In this way we will get value received
for out money and every year there
will be less to attend to.
Few counties in the state have such
progressive nen on the county court
and this county is to be congratulated
on her good fortune in that direction

 The servant gir,s decree that "enter- tainment of friends in limited numbers shall not be prohibited, providing the domestic furnishes her own refresh ments. This seems to open up the field for mixed beer parties. It will doubtless become a matter of dispute So will the joint demands that two hours every afternoon be allowed to servants, and that thsy shall receive such hours off on Mondays as will give them chance at the bargain counters equally with "the mistress and her daughters" the bargain coun- ter produces best in the morning hours. But perhaps these demands are made in the expectation of negotiation rather than as an Ultimatum.

LITTLE JAMES
GRANT AND TEE PRIVATE.

Probably the most popular story tod during the recent reunion at Mem phis," remarked an old confederate soldier was one which related to a conversation between Grant and a pri- vate soldier. and, while it has been told often before, it was received with a good natureG, and, I may say, patriotic relish by every man who heard 1t, and but few of them failed to repeat it. Really, the story is an interesting com blnation of fact and fiction, and this is probably why it was so popular with the old soldiers. or course, there was no rancOr, nC Bitterness in the teEinS Of the tale, but the fact that it brought in three of the most proTinent charac- ters of the war and gave the confeder- ates the best of a well rounded point caused the olG' fellows to split their sides wht n they heard it. and made them anxious to repeat it. Grant ran Into private of the confederate ranks on one occasion. and the private called {: General where are you Eoing?' TO PetsrsourS, l think, but maybe to heaven or to hell the general replied. well, l will tell you. general, the sol cler said dryly, Bob Lee Is at Peters burg, and Stonewall Jackson is in heavsn Hel! is the only place left for you Grant enjoyed the thrust, grim as 1t was, and after peace was restored he was often delighted by telling it. and always referred to it as one of the pleasantries Of tn war between the states. But he never got any more pleasure out of 1t than the old soldiers did at the reunion at Memphis. "-New Orleans Times Democrat.
