OLDEST DERRICK.
Fire Destroys Initial sistersville At.
fair-sparks From Train
Cause.

S1STERSVILLE, Sept. 26-The
first fire in the oil field adjacent to Sis
tersuille in many months occurred
Sunday night, when fire totally de-
stroyed the derrick on the ]. T. Jones
well, at the head of the first railroad
%trestle above town. The origin of
the fire was a spark thrown onto the
well from the northbound 5:23 train
and in a moment the entire derrick
was a mass of flames. The loss will
run from $500 to $1,000 and there was
no insurance.
The well was put down by Capt. ].
7. Jones when Sistersville& first began
its oil boom. AS a consequence Of it
being the Oldest well of the district
the wooden frame was well soaked
with oil.
The derrick was situated close to
the railroad track, and when the fire
became at its height the down train,
due at 5:4S vas thought of. A flag.
man was sent back to stop it, which
was done. However. the engineer
saw the chance and ran his train past
the burning derrick into Sistersville,
He had barely reached the Sistersville
depot when the derrick fell with a
crash across the track.

Only Legitimate Newspapers Receive
second-clas Rates

Conservative people are inclined %
fear extension of governmental func-
Itions. They believe that the proper
sphere of government is to afford pro-
lection to all citizens engaged in legit-
innate pursuits. They question the wis
dom Of state or municipal ownership
of public utilities. In their opinion,
the exercise of police powers includes
practically the whole field for profit
able municipal and state activity. Peo-
pie holding such conservative prinei-
pies occupy a position at the political
lantipodes of the socialists.
Even the most conservative, how
ever, are agreed that a government
should protect the citizen. To provide
such protection, both at home and
abroad, is the first duty of a govern
ment. About this there is practically
no difference of opinion.
Correct labels are IN essential part Of
protection under modern conditions.
Owing to the distance and the number
of middlemen between the producer and
the consumer, correct labels are abso-
lutely necessary for the protection of
the latter. If people wish to eat
canned peas colored with copperas, they
should have the privilege, but they
are right in demanding that goods IF
that character should be correctly la
beled. Manufacturers who scatter
poisons broadcast should ne compelled
to place c~onspicuously en- each package
the name and amount of the poison
contained. 1t is the duty of a govern
ment to afford it's citizens such protec-
tion against the vendors of poison.
For some commodities the govern
ment insists upon correct labels. The
government stamp upon gold and silver
certifes their f~ineness and establishes
their value. 1t makes the currency.
As a rule, the avs providing for cor
rect labelling are inadequate. A very
large proportion Of the goods on the
market would Immediately become an
salabie If they were properly branded.
This is true of the newspapers that sell
fiction as facts.
There are some newspapers, however,
that bear a brand whose significance
should be more widely understood. The
postoffice department is all the time
watching for newspapers that exist
merely to promote the interests of a
single company. These promotion jour-
nails are denied the privileges of second
class matter accorded to legitimate
newspapers. The second class privil-
eyes are also denied to some financial
journals whose columns are VIGOROUSLY
for sale. Others that should be thrown
out of the second class mail have escap-
ed the attention of the department, but
some Of the deceptive ones have been
properly branded.
The brand is a common postage
stamp. Watch for it. If "a newspaper
that pretends to be independent comes
to the subscriber in a circular bearing
a postage stamp, it is a masquerader.
The stamp is an official announcement
that the periodical in question is not
regarded by the postofice department
as a legitimate newspaper. Watch for
the stamp.

WILL INTRODUCE NEEDED BILL
70 Advance Salaries Of Western Post
ONCE Clerks

A bill that will be of widespread in
terest throughout the west is to be in
PRODUCED in tine senate at h forth
canning session by Senator Nixon of
Nevada at the request of the postmas-
ters of this state, who are having great
difficulty in retaining clerks Mt the
present schedule of wages paid by the
department, says the Silver State. The
average wage for Office clerks is from
$40 to $50 and in Nevada it is impossi-
BILE for a person to live On a monthly
salary of that size. At Reno, Goldfeld,
TonOpah, and in fact throughout the
state the ~postmasters are often com
pdlled to turn over a large part of their
safarres to the clerks in order to retain
their services. At Tonopah Postmaster
Booth resigned on this account, and at
Goldfield recently Inc entire office
force, excepting the postmaster, walked
put in a body rather than work for $50
a month.
Under the postal laws special wages
cam be paid in certain instances, but it
seems that this law does not apply tn
cities which have Offices of the second
class, to which Tonopah, Reno and
Goldfeld now oelong.
It is the intention to place the west
ern states in an entirely different class
ifcation from those of the east, where
the average of wages is not so high,
Last year an attempt OF this kind was
discussed by several congressman, but
the bill was emasculatea in committee
and it was made to apply only to
Alaska.
Before the bill is introduced it is in
tendeo to place it before all of the
western senators and congressman,
with a view of securing their co-opera.
