sLoT MAcHINEs AGAIN.

If the infamous slot machine is
unlawful In one part of this state.
it is in every other part of West
Virginia. The Honorable Judge
John W. Mason rendered the first
opinion on this subject. That opIn-
ion was that the slot machine is
gambling device. It attracted wide
attention, and was upheld by the
supreme court of the state Since
that time what is regarded generally
as an even stronger state law
against the slot machine has gone
into effect, and yet we read in the
Weston Independent that the state
has licensed such machines. Under
the caption estate Licenses Slot
Machines, that paper says:
This paper is not sure that the
licensing of slot machines in Weston
can be justified. We were told all
tie while that the slot machine as we
have it in its most Objectionable
form is criminal, that it could not
be licensed to be operated in the
state. and that the slot machine al
luded to in the statute relating to
license taxes was the machine yield
ing up to, the player cigars, chew
ing gum or other goods supposed to
have value approXimating the value
of the coin expended. But recent
" the other sort of slot machine
the ever yawning and rarely dis
gorging, gulping down, criminal
looking creature of greed and rapac-
ity, has been licensed in our midst,
by direction of state authority, we
are told; the state license tax has
been paid, and all things worked well
for a time. But the town authori-
ties-may heaven smile upon their
sudden squirt of puritanical purity
has refused fatty to become a
party to the licensing of such an in
sufferably criminal device, and so
they will, it seems, run on forever
without let or hindranee, so far as
municipal grant or prevention is
concerned. Meanwhile the state
gets the license money-and, pray,
for what? It's shame to keep the
money; it is, in fact"
Does that mean there must be an
other Interpretation of the law? As
we see it, there is no law authorizing
the operation of such slot machines
as were condemned here, and it does
appear that it is up to the state to
see that they do not run instead OF
licensing them. 1t is not question
as to whether they do harm or not,
but are they within the law? If
not, the state representatives IN
Lewis county should not license
them.

ROOSEVELT DROPS BEEF TRUST.
Grand Jury Investigation Prevents Any
Further Inquiry

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The re-
port that heached here that the ad-
ministration mad decided to call off the
beef trust inquiry created profound
sensation, and led to some important
statements.
One of these is that as the beef
trust investigation mas gone through
the regular channel and has reached
a grand jury, that the executive would
not dare to interfere with that bulwark
of public liberty.
This is, in fact, the answer of the
administration to the report.
There are, however, some curious
facts relating to the beef trust inquiry.
The president appointed James Car
field to look into the matter and push
it for all it was worth. Mr.. Garfield
made a report, and it is claimed that
it is so full of secret and sensational
data that only parts of it could be
given to the public.
lieve that the really important facts
were ascertained by the interstate COM
merce commission and that on the data
so furnished the suit was determined
upon, irrespective of the work Of Mr..
Garfield.
1t has been noted and commented
upon here that Mr.. Urion, the repre-
sentative of the Armour private car
lines, came to Washington and has
been very attentive to the character of
the testimony submitted to the senate
committee investigating railway rates.
1t is denied here by Mr.. Urion that
he had in any way indicated to the
president that ne wished the case
against the beef trust annulled.
1t is also denied that the administra-
ton acceded to the proposition that
the district attorney and his assistants
in Chicago have not been Jealous in
the discharge of their duties.
On the contrary it is pointed out:
that nothing more savage could have
been said against the beef trust than
was said by the attorney general hin-
self in his arguments against the tSast
in the recent cases Before the United
States supreme court.

PICKS HAML0M As WINNER
JIMMY BRITT SAY SHE WILL GER.
TAINLY WHIP YOUNG" COR.
BETT ON JUNE 2.

Jimmy Britt has picked Eddie Han
Ion to win the fight on June 2 against
Young COrbett. Britt does not take
very kindly to the remarks that Nell
son and Corbett nave both made about
the Britt White mill, and for that mat
ter the talk that mas been given out by
these two has been unfavorably COM
mented on by several others who were
at the ringside and thought it a good
fight from start to finish.
About the first thing that Nelson had
to say after the fight was over was
that Britt had made a very poor show
ing, and ne expressed the opinion that
White should have put him out before
the seventh round was over Corbett
has now come out with something of
the same line of talk, and naturally
Britt don't take kindly to it,
After having been asked to pick the
winner of the coming fight between
Corbett and Hanlon, Britt expressed
himself confidently as expecting Han
Ion to get the decision. I'm afraid
poor old Corbett is about in the has
been Glass; said James Edward. "Of
got in the head it might be expected
that he would not be just right in the
upper story. From the way he is talk
ing now it looks as if he was getting
to be like Terry McGovern and Kid
Carter and some of the other daffy
ones.
Easy Thing for HanIon.
MY opinion is that Hanlon will have
very easy thing of it. All ne will
have to do will be to stay away for a
couple of rounds or so, and by that
time Corbett will be wheeling ana all
out. Then Hanlon can go right after
him and do his work up in short or
der.

or three rounds, but that's all there
should be to it if HanlOn is anywhere
near as good as when he fought Nell

and stay from Corbett for a couple Of
rounds or So until ne had tired him.
self out, and after that simply fall in
and push him over with my shoulder
He would be so tired by that time he
wouldn't want to get up.
LAS to the remark that Corbett
makes about having an offer to fight
in Butte and such places. it doesn't
seem to me that there is much credit
in that. Talent is scarce in such places
and they are glad to get any one they
can to perform. AS to what ne says
about no one being after me to go
away and fight, he is wrong there. /

towards the southern limit of it's
range, the conditions which are neces-
sary to it's best growth are found be-
tween 5000 and 10000 feet eleva-
tion.
Lodgepole pine is valuable, for one
reason, because it grows on high
mountain slopes, and also on old
"burns," where other trees find diff
Guilty in obtaining a foothold. It
readily adapts itself to most diverse
soil conditions, but thrives best where
there is considerable moisture It's
roots accommodate themselves to the
shallow soil common in the localities
where it grows. At very early age
this tree produces cones in large guam
titles, and after it is ten years old the
seed are generally fertile. The cones
sometimes open and distribute the
seeds as soon as they are ripe, though
more commonly they remain on the
tree for years with their seed carefully
preserved beneath the scales. In
many cases squirrels cut off the closed
cones and hide them away in the
ground. 1t a fire occurs before the
seeds are eaten, it will cause the cones
to open and set them Free AS a rule.
however, the cones of many seasons
remain on the trees until fire comes
along and, by heating them, liberates

Journey Up Pixies Peak

To take a ride that almost literally
bursts your head open is a novelty
thrilling enough, it is to be presumed
for the most eager thrill seeker, says
the Baltimore News. But that is what
often happens to him who essays the
dizzy heights of Pixies Peak, $4,000
feet above sea level.
II went up on the cog road from
Manitou," said Baltimore man, I'm
company with a party of tourists, and
before we reached the Halfway house
there were two who exhibited such
positive symptoms of distress
that at the first stop they had to leave
and take the next train down. The
rest of us continued. In seat little
in front of us was a young girl who
had been growing gradually hysteri-
cal, and whom we had been watching
curiously to see what would happen
next. It happened. Suddenly she
threw up her hands. and fell back

mouth, ears, eyes and nose. The con-

one till he approaches to caress her.
She then keeps him in tow while the
noosers slip up and get the rope which
is fastened to the decoy's neck around
the leg of the wild one.
Something of this kind is done with
the half-wild elephants of the king of
Siam when they are driven up for the
annual inspection of Ayuthia.
One of the great difficulties on the
cattle ranches of the great West is
overcome by using bullock as de-
coy. The animals are afraid to enter
the train and, unaided by the decoy, it
is impossible to compel them to do so.
The animals are rounded up and driv-
en- into the siding by the ordinary
maneuvers known to the profession,
and then the decoy comes to the front.

seedlings follow.
BY far the greater part OF the mer-
chantable lodgepole area is within
existing or proposed federal forest
reserves, where the numbering regula-
tions which the government put into
effect some time ago will protect and
benefit the forests.
Other objects of the Bureau of For
estry in this study are to ascertain the
rates of growth of the tree, and how
it may be increased; to better exist
ing numbering regulations; to devise
system of fire protection, and to ex-
tend the commercial uses of the wood.
A controlling consideration is the need
of maintaining the forests on all the
mountains they now cover, and of
causing them to spread more widely,
if possible, since the most important
function they can perform is to safe
guard the water sheds they include.
This study will enable the bureau to
carry out more effectively the work of
forest reserve management lately in
trusted to it by Congress. The results
of the study should also prove of large
value to railroad and private owners,
