WHY CHEAT RIVER NEVER RuNsi
LOW. ~

{ Hu Maxwell is now in me wilds OF
Pocahontas and Randolph counties
following Indian trails and things. In
closing an article written for the Nor
gantown Chronicle he notes some
very interesting observations, as fol-
lows:
When one has seen the vast ex.
panse Of forest. with the ground al
ways wet. he can understand why
Cheat river never runs as low as
many other streams of the State. The
wilderness covers nearly all the up
per tributaries OF Cheat. While they
stand the stream can never go dry.
But they will not stand much
longer. Lumbermen are attacking
them on all sides. There are 40
sawmills on the f3 miles of the Coal
and Iron railroad between Elkins
and DurbIn. That railroad has cut
this wilderness in two, while the Dry
Fork has cut 1t again further east,
while one log road Is twenty miles
long. Lumbermen are advancing
this way from the waters of the Green
brier. The wilderness is being at
tackled on all sides. This morning
as sat by my camp fire at six o'clock,
i could hear steam whistles so far
away that they were scarcely audible
l heard them in the east and in the
west. They were sounding the death
knell of West virsinia's greatest pri-
meval forest, that which lies about
the Greenbrier. Every year the sur.
rounding ring of sawmills will draw
nearer and nearer to the center, and
within twenty years, as predict, this
wilderness will be no more. The
ground will dry out fast enough when
the shade is cut away. That portion
of the land which has sufficient depth
Of soil will pass to the dominion of
the pillow. The larger part, which is
too stony for farming, will degenerate
into waste of white rocks, from
which fire will have burned every
vestige of SOIL"

CREAM OF HOPS"

Gals that Cream of Hops" is an in.
toxicating drink and those selling 1t
without license will be prosecuted.
For several months the beverage has

are now going after the vendors of
the beverage and many indictments

Some people seem to think that the
Republican candidate for Governor of
Ohio-Myron T. Herrick, present Gov.
ernor-is in danger Of meeting with
defeat. The danger lies in the fact
that the anti-saloon league is making
war against him, this being composed
largely of Republicans. Col. Bryan,
who was speaking in Ohio the other
day in the interest of the Democratic
candidate for Governor, Mr.. Pattison,
considered the outlook favorable for
the latter. He thought that he would
be elected. 1t does not look reason.
able that the Buckeye State will go
Democratic this year, remembering
the immense Republican majorities 1t
has been rolling up for the past dozen
years or more, yet the liquor ques.
ton is SO prominent Just now as to
make the result rather problematical.
The liquor interest Is powerful over
there, and If the Democratic end of It
throws its support to Mr.. Herrick, as
is said will be the case, the chances
are that he will be reelected.
