PROCLAMATION
FOR THE OBSERVANCE OF WEST
VIRGINIA DAY ISSUED BY
SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT
MILLER.
Names Friday, May I, as the Date for
This Important Event to the Free
Schools and Insists That 1t
Be Observed.

State Superintendent Thomas C. Miller
is making an effort to have the public
schools OF the state to celebrate West
Virginia day. He has issued the follow
ing circular in regard to the matter:
June 90. 1903, will be the fortiesh
anniversary OF the admission of the state
into the Federal Union. On that date
it will be very appropriate for our people
to observe the occasion by suitable ex-
erciscs, such ~ historical addresses, pa
triotic music, and the decoration of pub
lie buildings and homes with the ma
tional coors. Now, also, since we have
state flower as the emblem of our
mountain home. the rhododendron may
be made prominent in such decoration.
It would especially be appropriate for all
our schools TO Join in such an observa-
ton, but on June 20, very few schools
viii be in session, and it will therefore
not be possible for teachers to have their
schools, as a whole, take part in the
celebration Of our fortieth anniversary.
However, as a means of emphasizing our
state history, our growth and material
development. our educational progress,
and our general advancement along lines
Of moral, social and intellectual activity,
] hereby recommend that Friday, May l..
1903, be observed in all our schools as
West Virginia Day. that such exercises
be held in each school as seem best
adapted 10 the pupils and to the com
munity in general, and that our history
be dwelt upon to the instruction and
profit of all who may attend. To this
end let The entire community be invited
to join in the occasion; have an address
by some one acquainted with the his
tory Of The state, and let there be a
number Of short papers on various fea-
lures OF our progress, and by all means
have plenty of good music.
.'The EDUCATIONAL value of such n eel
ebration should not be overlooked. We
know too little about ourselves, We know
less Of our ancestors. Some of our peo-
pie do not know whence they came nor
how they got here. Our early history
should be made prominent. There is
probably no moro inviting field in Amer
lea for historical investigation that this
Transallcgheny region in which West
Virginia is largely situated. Let teach
crs enter into the spirit of this occasion
and it willnot be long until their enthus-
iasm has spread throughout the com
munity."

James Il. wallwick's Amusement
company in the big scenic rough,hOuse
production of @The Queen OF the High
way was turned loose on the stage at
the Traders Grand opera house last even,
ing. Of all the blood.curdling, wild and
woody western stabbing and shooting
performances, this one took the waffle.
There we're about twenty persons in the
cast, and they all made things pretty
Interesting from curtain to curtain.
The company is a fairly good one, for
the class of attraction it is. The play
would be strengthened considerably were
several of the characters in the cast re-
placed by better actors.
The play is said to be in lifetime of the
big California gold excitement in 40.
The first scene shows the Post Station
at Laughing Hollow, where the stage
road ends. All of the members of the
company get out on the stage in a short
time, to show themselves off. They are
supposed to represent the tough western
type OF the gold.seekiug prospectors,
their wives and their friends, and they
certainly did look a tough looking lot.

act funny and to initiate the Jewish YER

Hervey Lindley, New President, Says
work Will Begin in Few
Months

important improvements are being
MANNED on the klamath Lake Railroad,
. stretch of rail in Northern California,
which connects the town Of Laird, in this
state. with Pokegama. Or. The road is
now controlled by Hervey Lindley, for
merly of Los Angeles, but now Of Kla-
mathon.
He is now at the Palace Hotel, having
lust returned from the north, where a
deal was effected last week with George
Mason, former president of the railroad
company, whereby the latter's interest in
the. corporation was transferred TO Lind
lev. The transfer Of stock was followed
by a meeting of the directors OF the Kla-
rnath Railroad Company, who received
the resignation OF Mason Is president and
elected Lindley in his stead.
The company is now operating thirty
miles of road between the points men
toned above, but the plan is to extend
the line over klamath Lake, a distance
of thirty-two miles. President Lindley
stated yesterday that the route the
new extension Is to run has already been
surveyed and construction work will be
inaugurated early during the coming
year. He has been negotiating for the
purchase of several new engines and other
rolling stock. The road at present runs
through one of the richest timber tracts
lying in the two States and the extension
is contemplated to tap very rich dis
trict, as yet only partly developed.

James D. Phelan, William H. Mills.
Frank j. Symmes, E o. Mccormick
and I. c. Judkins have been appointed
a special committee to determine what
kind of display San Francisco shall
make next year at st. Louis. A meet
ing of the commercial bodies of San
Francisco was recently held and it was
decided that this city should be repre-
sented. by an exhibition at the great
Louisiana Purchase Exposition to be
held in ST. Louis in 1904.
Los Angeles and other cities east and
west have raised money that their ad-
vantages may be made known prop
erly during the continuance of the ex-
position. The importance of San Fran
cisco from a commercial and manu-
featuring point of view, its interest for
tourists and globe-trotters generally.
and its position in relation to the great
and fruitful country that is tributary
to it make it advisable that San Fran
cisco should be advertised equally Witt
other cities. The special committee will
at once proceed TO consider the details
Of what shall be done.

AID Is PROMISED.

This talk was followed by another
one shortly before General Manager
Kruttschnitt left for Salt Lake to Join
his chief on an inspection of the Lucin
cutoff. Yesterday Brock and Krutt-
schnitt had another conference. which
resulted in an assurance that the
Southern Pacific Company would aid
literally in the furtherance of the plans
for the new railroad.
While the Southern Pacific Company
will not build the road 1t has agreed to
financially aid its promoters, and in the
preliminary work it will lend its. sur
veyors and the necessary rolling stock
for the grading and construction work.
incidentally of course the agents Of
President Hartman have carefully.
bound the Brock syndicate with an
agreement that will prevent the new
road ever falling into the hands Of in
terests that are inimical to those of the
Hartman lines.
The road is practically the salvation
of the Tonopah mining district In. that
1t gives it ready outlet for ores of the
various rich properties and insures
cheaper transportation for necessary
operating material.
