WEST vIRGINIEs PROSPERITY.

Baltimore sun: Even rcmemberins,
the rapid growth Of the Northwest, prob.
ably no other state in the Union is At
the present time developing faster than
West Virginia. Because Of its rugged
mountains and large forests it has not
kept pace with other sections in popula
ton But now the world is bidding for
its excellent timber and has found its
mountains treasure homes of valuable
minerals.
The opening up d vast coal fields Ike
the New River and Pocahontas regions
has brought thousands Of workers and
added many millions Of dollars to the
states wealth. It's graphite, ocher, sands
and varied mineral products have
brought scores u factories that send
their products 70 every quarter. Natu-
raj gas in some sections furnishes the
cheapest and most efficient light and
fuel, and the annual production of the
many oil wells brings in an immense
revenue.
Probably never in its history has there
been such a rush d capital to West yir-
cinia rs in the past few months. Al
most every day the Sun prints accounts
Of Investments in coal, timber and oil
properties, the opening of new mines
and the extension of old operations. Tim
Der and oil lands are second in demand
only to coal properties, and all three
are being developed at a rapid rate.
The linking OF the West Virginia Cen
trail with the Wabash in the transeon-
tincntal system, the new branches Of
the baltimore and Ohio and the i'm
proyement of It's track, the proposed
double.tracking of the Norfolk and
Western system and the numerous new
short lines projected or being built 70
reach coal fields and forests make this
notable period in railroad construction.
1t was stated not long ago that fourteen
lines Of railroad are either under way
or to be built at once in West Virginia.
Another feature is the large number
Of new electric railways. At the pres
emit rate it will not be long before the
trolley Joins many Of the principal
towns, and it Is linking the suburbs
to every city in the state.

FIRED
A BULLET IN WALL OF HIS HOME,
BARELY MISSING HIS WIFE
AND CHILD.
An italian Miner, Working at P. K, Is
Arrested FOX Beating and
Abusing Her.

Agatha orchcck. came to Justice Ri
cy's court Friday evening from her
home at the Pinniclsinnick camp, and
swore out warrant against her hus-
band, Anthony oreheek. She claimed
that he had been beating. assaulting and
mistreating her
The warrant was placed in the hands
Of Constable Herbert Davis, who went
over to their home at the mining camp
to arrest Anthony, the same evening.
The constable found Anthony in the
house all right, but anthony ebelled
when it came to going over to the mag
istrate's court. In trying to make the
arrest Constable Davis had some little
trouble with him. 1t seems that An
thony pulled a Gun on the constable but
the latter jerked it away from him be-
fore he could snap the trigger. The man
was finally brought over TO the city
lookup and incarccrated for the night.
Saturday morning the man was given
hearing by Squire Riley. In the ties
timony offered it appears that orcheeIS
tried several times to beat and abuse
his wife. He got drunk at times and
would fire his pistol in his house, one
time firing bullet in the wall over tIlc
bed in which his wife and little child
lay. Anthony was fined $50 and the
costs and was required to furnish bond
Of 500 to keep the peace for the period
Of one year.

Wateworks, gas and electric light
ing systems, whole blocks of new build
ings, fine schools. hospitals and churches
are going up in every direction. Some
places that were villages few years
ago are rapidly assuming metropolitan
air, and nearly all the towns are grow
ing at a gratifying rate.
Best Of all, this is not caused by any
boom but appears to be the result Of
actual investments in worthy properties
that promise a handsome income to the
legitimate business man. With its i'm
mense natural resources, it, energy and
enterprise, West Virginia is forging
ahead like an electric automobile with
all the power turned on.
