Unfortunate Bows.

Allen Myers, the fourteen-year-ol
son of Mrs. Rosa Myers, met with a
painful accident last Saturday after
noon. With party of boys and girls
he went to "Pe1simmon Hill" below
town, to sample the persimmoD crop.
He was climbing in a tree when a
branch broke and let him fall to the
ground. He fell on his arm and broke
the bone Just above the elbow and also
dislocated the wrist, besides sustaining
some minor cuts and bruises. He was
taken to the residence of c. W. Show,
and Drs. Byers and Myers summoned,
who gave him surgical attention. He
was later brought to his home in this
place, and is now getting along pretty
well.
Edgar Athey, the ten.year.old son
of Edward W. Athey, is very unfor-
tunate boy. He had heretofore bro
ken both Of his arms, when few days
ago he stumbled over something on the
school grounds and broke one Of his
arms again. Breaking bones is bad
habit that be doesn't seem able to get
rid Of.

Freight Train Wrecked.

One of the worst accidents that the
Norfolk & Western Railroad has had
to contend with on this division in a
long time occurred Tuesday morning,
when freight train No. Sc was wreck
ed at Stanley, near Luray. The en-
CINE was smashed and a number of
cars were thrown over an embankment.
A carload of mules was upset and
fourteen OF the animals were either
killed or injured so badly that they
had to be put to death. So far as We
can learn none of the railroad men
was hurt. The accident was caused,
we are informed, by a broken rail.
Passenger train No. % was delayed
nearly six hours.

Bankrupt Court.


Judge Butt and his clerk, J. O.
Lemen, were in Charles Town Mon
day holding a session Of bankrupt
court, at which time several import
ant cases were heard, in which num-
Der of intricate questions under the
bankrupt act arose, which are to be
determined by the referee. The E.
o. Mckee case was first called and
a report of the referee auditing the
debts, a report ofthe appraisers and
a report of the trustee were filed. Sew
eral questions relative to the title Of
certain property in the hands of out
side claimants were adjudicated and
settled. The George Porterfeld case
was then taken up, and argument was
heard by the court upon the petition
of a number of unsecured creditors at
lacking the validity of certain deed
of trust lien held by Mrs. Susan Por.
terfeld, involving the sum of about
$4,000, upon the ground that the same
is void as preference under the bank
rupt act. The answer of Mrs. Porter
field having been filed and deposit
tons taken to support the contentious
of either side, the same was argued by
Messrs. Mason, Green, Gibson and
Trapnell for attacking creditors, and
Brown, Mcdonald and Beckwith for
Mrs Polterfeld. The points of law
raised on either side were numerous
and intricate, and the arguments very
able and exhaustive. The referee
took the matter under advisemeDt.
In the Hurst matter an order was en-
tered distributing a dividend of 2 per
cent to general creditors.-SPirit.

An Enormous Yield Of Apples.

The biggest thing in the way of a n
apple crop that we have heard of this
year is that from the orchard of Dan
lei Socks, near Kearneysville, this
county. Mr.. Socks has sixty trees
twelve years old from which he gath
cred the almost incredible yield of
800 bushels. an average OF so bushels
to the tree. He sold them for $3.50
barrel, and that they are as fine in
quality as they are prolific in yield it
may be mentioned that the best Of them
are for export and others are to be a
part of West Virginia's exhibit at the
St. Louis Exposition. There can be
no doubt that our county Is particu-
larly well adapted for apple growing
as the enormous yield of fine fruit this
year testifes, and it ought to become
famous as fruit growing region.
And even if the price should be as low
as dollar barrel the profits would
be handsome.
Mr.. Socks does not spray his trees,
but he has a treatment of his own that
he applies to the roots. This year 5
crop looks as if his method is all right.
DR.. D. ". Border, the pioneer apple
grower of the KearneysvIlle neighbour
hood and one of our most progressive
fruit men, had a crop Of $500 barrels
this year, the largest he ever had.
His trees yielded enormously, and by
actual measurement one tree had 81
bushels upon it and another 40 bushel.
This, we believe, beats the record in
Jefferson county. DR.. Border has put
his apples in cold storage with the D.
B. Martin Company in Philadelphia,
and that firm promises fine prices this
winter. Immense quantities are being
exported to England, Germany and
other foreign countries, and good aP-
pies are quoted already at s. 10 per
barrel in the city markets. 1t Is be-
lieved that by midwinter the prices
will be much higher DR.. Border ex-
poets to spray his entire orchards, Of
about 100 acres, this winter with the
lime and sulphur wash, and has con-
tracted with an experienced Berkeley
county man to do the work.

ignated Friday, November Goth, as ar
Dor day. He says: while many
persons would choose the spring as the
best time for planting trees and shrub
berry, nevertheless much work can be
done to good advantage in the fall;
and in view of the fact that many Of
our districts schools close before the
time of planting in the spring, 1t Is
thought advisable to have day fixed
for fall planting also. Therefore rec
commend that Friday, November 20,
1908. be observed as arbor day by the
schools of West Virginia, and | suggest
that the day be observed, both In a
literary and in practical way, by ex-
ercises as may be appropriate to the
occasion.
DR.. H. w. Sears, the well-known
lecturer, filed an engagement in Shep-
herdstown Tuesday night, and Ii there
is any virtue in a hearty laugh every
body who heard him ought to be feel
ing good yet. DR.. Sears is lrreslshbly
funny and has a stock Of stories and
illustrations that would make horse
laugh. He kept his audience in a roar
from start to finish, except when he
made his points in serious or pathetic
language and SO drove home his argu-
meRts. People laughed until they
cried and many fat side ached when
the lecturer had finished DR.. Sears
took for his subject More Tafy and
Less Epitapby," and he impressed
mon his listeners the fact that giving
bouquets to the living is much better
than putting flowers on their graves
when they are dead. We hope he
may come back to Shepherdstown,
We are sure he can cure the worst case
! of blues on record.

DEVELOPMENT OF ALASKA.
Legislation Is Needed and the Survey
of Public Lands Urged.

I call your special attention to the Ter
ritory of Alaska. The country is develop
ing rapidly, and it has an assured future
The mineral wealth is great and has as
yet hardly been tapped. The fisheries, If
wisely handled and kept under National
control, will be a business as permanent
as any other, and of the utmost import
ance to the people. The forests if
properly guarded, will form another great
source of wealth. Portions of Alaska
are fitted for farming and stockraising,
although the methods must be adapted to
the peculiar conditions of the country
Alaska is situated in the Far North; but
so are Norway and Sweden and Finland
and Alaska can prosper and play its part
in the New World just as those nations
have prospered and played their parts in
the Old World. Proper land laws should
be enacted and the survey of the public
lands Immediately begun. Coa1-land laws
shold be provided whereby the coal-land
entryman may make his location and Sc
cure patent under methods kindred to
those now prescribed for homestead and
mineral entrymen. Salmon hatcheries, ex-
cluSively under Government control
should be esta ablished. The cable should
be extended from Sitka westward. Wagon
roads and trails should be built, and the
building of railroads promoted in all le-
gitimate ways. Lighthouses should be
built along the coast. Attention should be
paid to the needs of the Alaska Indians;
provision should be made for an officer,
with deputies to study their needs re-
lieve their immediate wants, and help
them adapt themselves to the new con-
ditionS.

PRESERVATION OF FORESTS.
Need There-f Is Recognized Now as
Never Before

The study of the opportunities of recla-
nation of the vast extent of arid land
shows that whether this reclamation is
done by individuals, corporations, or the
state, the sources of water supply must be
effectively protected and the reservoirs
guarded by the preservation of the for
ests at the headwaters of the streams
The engineers making the preliminary ex-
aminations continually emphasize this
need and urge that the remaining public
lands at the headwaters of the important
streams of the West be reserved to in
sure permanency of water supply for ir-
rigation. Much progress in forestry has
been made during the past year. The ne
cessity for perpetuating our forest re-
sources, whether in public private
hands, is recognized now as never be-
fore. The demand for forest reserves has
become insistent in the West, because the
West must use the water, wood and Sum
mer range which only such reserves can
supply. Progressive lumbermen are striv-
ing, through forestry, to give their busi-
ness permanence. Other great business
interests are awakening to the need of
forest preservation as a business matter
The Governments forest work should re-
ceive from the Congress hearty support
and especially support adequate for the
protection of the forest reserves against
fire. The forest-reserve policy of the Gov
ernment has passed beyond the expert
mental stage, and has reached a condi-
ton where scientific methods are essential
to it's successful prosecution. The admin
istrative features of forest reserves are at
present unsatisfactory, being divided be-
tween three bureaus of two departments.
It is therefore recommended that all mat
ters pertaining to forest reserves, except
those involving or pertaining to land
titles, be consolidated in the Bureau of
Forestry of the Department Of Agricul-
ture.

mirable opportunity to advance the prac-

The Hague tribunal memorable increase

results would follow from their appear
ance at the same time before the bar OF
that august tribunal of peace.
Our hopes in that regard have been re-
allied. Russia and Austria are represent

tinguished jurists who compose the tri-
bunal, while Great Britain, Germany,
France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, the Meth
erIands. Sweden and Norway, Mexico,
the United States and Venezuela are rep
resented by their respective agents and
counsel. Such an imposing concourse of
nations presenting their arguments to and
invoking the decision of that high court
of international justice and international
peace can hardly fail to secure like SUBJ
mission of many future controversies.
The nations now appearing there will find
1t far easier to appear there a second
time, while no nation can imagine its just
pride will be lessened by following the ex-
ample now presented. This triumph of
the principle of International arbitration
is subject of warm congrarulat1on. and
offers happy augury for the peace Of
the world.

THE ARMY.
System of Promotion by Mere Senior
jty Ia Not W. ell.

The effect of the laws providing gen.
eral staff for the Army, and for the more
effective use Of the National Guard, has
been excellent Great improvement has
been made in the efficiency of our Army
in recent years. Such schools as those
erected at Fort LeavenHorth and Fort
Riley and the institution of Fall maneuver
work accomplished satisfactory results.
The good effect of these maneuvers upon
the National Guard is marked, and ample
appropriation should be made to enable
the guardsmen of the several states to
share in the benefit. The Government
should as soon as possible secure suitable
permanent camp sites for military man
euvers in the various sections of the coun-
try. The service thereby rendered not
only to the regular Army, but to the Ma
tional Guard of the several states will be
so great as to repay many times over the
relatively small expense. We should not
rest satisfied with what has been done,
however. The only people who are con-
mere seniority are those who are con-
tented with the triumph of mediocrity
over excellence. On the other hand, a
system which encouraged the exercise of
social or political favoritism in promo
tions would be even worse. But it would
surely be easy to devise method of pro-
motion from grade to grade in which the
opinion of the higher officers of the serv-
Ice upon the candidates should be decisive
upon the standing and promotion of the
latter. Just such system now obtains
at West Point.
