FAIRMONT
THE CENTER
Hurrah For the Glorious Fourth of
July!

Fairmont is the natural center of a
great population. 1t is practically the
same distance from the cities of Man
nington, a Morgantown, Grafton and
CIarksburg. all reached by railroad
Fairmont being the hub of a great
wheel-the spokes Of which reach out
to these cjties-and on beyond out
into the great Industrial world. And
between Fairmont and these cities are
located many towns and villages all
centering toward Fairmont On the
road to Warrington, we have Bar
racksviIle, Pennington and Downs;
toward Grafton is Colfax, Kingmont,
Valley Falls. Hammond and Fetter-
man; toward Morgantown, Rivesville,
Montana, Catawba, Opekiska, Murray,
Little Falls and Uffington; and to
C1arksburg, Monongah. Warrington,
Enterprise, Shinnston and Lumber
port and many others
From this it will be seen that the
place with the greatest facilities for
gathering is Fairmont, it being the
natural center of this great territory
The Traction Park people propose to
make it the center of attraction on
the Fourth of July. by having the
greatest line of amusements ever
brought to this part of the State. The
committees appointed to secure at
fractions. are busily engaged looking
after their part of the work, and the
Park people are putting forth every
effort to have everything in readiness
to take care of the people and show,
them the greatest day of their lives.
Don't make any other arrange
ments. but go to Traction Park and
see what they can do out there when
they turn themselves loose.

Not Afraid of Brick Trust.

William r. Wheeland, brother Of
the late Samuel Wheeland and one Of
his heirs. has filed an opposition to the
application Of the Administrative for
permission to sell the stock of the
Wheeland Brick Company at so cents
a share. He declares that the stock
is worth 81, will soon be paying divi-
dends and that the company is on a
profit making basis. He says a new
drier has been installed that will give
the plant a capacity of 10000, 900
bricks a year and that a contract has
been made for 1000, 900 bricks for the
new library at Stanford University,
upon which the profit will be 81 so
per thousand. Wheeland declares
that there is nothing to fear from the
brick trust" because, as he says,
Gray Bros. have the contract for
building the Southern Pacific tunnel
which will take all the bricks pro-
duced by the trust.

BARAAM WILL
QUIT OFFICE
He Decides to Resign Bank
CommisSionership and Step
Out in January Next
BUSINESS DEMANDS TIME
Holds He Can Profit More by
Giving Entire Attention
to His Own Interests

Following close upon the heels of
the resignation of William H. High as
a member of the State Bank Commits
sion comes the announcement from Re-
publican headquarters that Guy B. Bar
ham Of Los Angeles, also a member of
the commission, will soon place his
resignation in the hands of Governor
Pardee, the same to take effect on
January 1.
The announcement that Barham has
decided to retire from Office occasioned
some surprise among his friends, but,
like his associate on the board, Mr..
High, he desires to give his entire at
tention to his private business, feeling
that in the battle of the years before
him he will profit more by taking the
step he contemplates at the opening OF
the new year.
The demands upon his time as
member of the Bank Commission, Mr..
Barham told his friends. were so great
that his private interests were being
neglected by him through necessity.
Approaching the fact that as public
official the public had the first de-
mand upon his time he permitted mat
ters that required his urgent attention
to wait u9on what leisure time pre-
sented itself to him in his official ca
pacity. When this leisure time came
he often found that he had sacrificed
his own interests. Then, philosophiz-
ing with himself, he came to the con-
clusion that he must either abandon all
Of his private business or resign from
office. He decided upon the latter course,
so on the first Of the year Governor
Pardee must appoint his successor
Mr.. Barham was appointed Bank
Commissioner In the latter part OF 1902,
but during the following session Of the
Legislature a bill was passed and
signed by the Governor abolishing the
commission. Barham thus found him
self legislated out Of Office. but in June
of 1908, after the new banking law, re-
organizing the commission, had gone
into effect, he was reappointed and has
held the Office up to this time After
retirement from office he will return to
Los Angeles and devote his entire at
tention to important business under
takings.
The salary that attaches to the office
is $500 a year and with two of these Of
fees on his hands and the appointment
of the entire appellate bench, nine
Judges, to be looked after, Governor
Pardee will have ammunition with
which to please eleven of his friends
and, perhaps, displease many more that
fail to be numbered among the winners.
