We see no occasion for such ado
about the assessment of the railroads
in West Virginia being increased TO
$4,000, 900. 1t was.within the poWe r
of the board of public works without
the enactment of the new tax law,
which asses everything the farmers
have at its true and actual value, to do
just what they have done. Mr.. Daw-
son and his friends have at last pei
formed duty which they have been
neglecting for years. This of course
will help counties with large mileage
of railroad but what will be the effect
in counties without railroads.

GOLD IN BIG CHUNKS.
Ineian Chief Says Legend of Tribe
Tells of 1t.

Chief Good CT the Nanaifho tribe
SAYS there has been legend in his
tribe for several generations that
about the center of Vancouver Island
there is a stream with small falls.
Over the falls gold descends all the
time and if basin is thrust into the
water golden grains can be caught
therein. There" says the chief. Is
plenty of the stuff that the white man
worships in bind obliteration of all
that is good and noble. At the base
of the falls is almost a solid mass or
gold and il earlier days many Indians
cut away chunks to make bullets so
that he might hunt and get his daily
food"
It is a matter of history that in 1852
two Frenchmen left Victoria to hunt
for the Midas stream. They returned
some months later with well filled
pokes. but money or persuasion could
not induce them to make the trip
again, and their faces blancEed with
terror when they spoke of this curious
Eldorado. This bears out the super
stition OF the Indians that a terrible
god holds guard over the treasure,
that there is something supernatural,
something dreadful about the golden
river.
On this account few redskins have
ever been induced to joint the white
parties which from time to tirae have
been made up to lock for the source Of
the gold.

"A local newspaper is absolutely
necessary to any community. 1t is
the home paper that keeps the peo-
pie of the community in touch
with each other by giving them all
the news of their own neighborhood

of value and of far more than the
small subscription price. They keep
the local pride and progressive spir-
it aroused and in various ways are
worth far more to a community than
a community ever spends on them.
