Governor Mead Advances a New
Scheme.
he STATES THAT THE DEBT IS VALID
WILL ASK LEGISLATURE TO
MAKE USE OF MONEY NOW
LYING IDLE.

A report from Olympia says that in
answer to an inquiry from B. F.
Houston of Tacoma, as to the probable
ity of an early payment by the state of
the normal school warrants of 1895,
the governor has replied in a letter
which follows in part:
after a careful examination of the
question of the validity of this debt, l
am strongly of the opinion that the
state should discharge the obligation
at the earliest possible moment. These
warrants were issued by the state in
payment Of the two normal> school
buildings at Whatcom (nOw Belling-
ham) and Cheney. They were not
issued until after the accounts of the
had been duly audited and
there can be no question as to their
regularity or of the fact that the state
has received valuable property in re-
turn for them.
Supreme Courts Decision.
1.-THE manner of paying these war
rants was questioned and ultimately
was settled by the supreme court OF
the state. That court held that under
the provisions of the Enabling act.
by which the state acquired title to the
school lands, the fund arising from the
sale of these lands is a permanent
fund and cannot be used in the man.
ner contemplated by the act Of 1895,
but that only the interest could be
made available.
1.-The matter was before the legisla-
ture of 1905, when bill introduced by
Mr.. Crane, providing for the payment
of this debt, passed the house almost
unanimously on February %. On the
last day Of the session 1t came up on
third reading in the senate and was
indefinitely postponed.
> Will Recommend to Legislature.
ut is my intention to recommend to
the legislature of 1907 that it take
steps to discharge this obligation, the
payment of which has been too long
delayed. 1t is the purpose Of this adj
ministration, to see that every holder
of warrants issued by this state shall
have his debts paid, both principal and
interest.
1.-THE manner of payment is sub
ject to which 1 have given consider
able thought, / find that at the date
of the last biennial report of the COM
missioner of public lands there were
in the permanent funds of the various
grants named the following sums:
Normal schools, $13,196.S0; state
university. s11,5697O; charitable, edu-
cational, penal and reformatory insti-
buttons. s3S,5S753; scientific school,
s41.s91.6O; agricultural college, $780,
6O9.50.
Funds Now Idle.
"These amounts are the proceeds OF
the sale of lands and valuable mate
rial belonging to each grant. Under
the present law these sums remain
idle in the state treasury and draw no
interest. NV suggestion to the legisla-
ture will be that an appropriation be
made from the general funds Of the
state to pay all this normal school in
debtedness, and that an amendment
be made to the law authorizing the
investment of the permanent school
fund in state and other certain secu-
rites, to permit the investment of the
funds 1 have just mentioned in bonds
of the state and other certain securi-

eLARKsRURG WEST VIRGINIA. WEDNESDAY, FERRUARY
NEW FAIR
ARRANGING
FOR MEETING

y
The directors Of the West Vir-
ginia Fair association held a meeting
in the Empire banking rooms Tues
day night and took action that means
a big annual meeting this year on
the handsome and spacious new
grounds, where is 10 be seen the
best half-nliie race track in the stats,
handsome grove Of FIVE acres. and
most modernB laid off grounds, to
say nothing about live stock stalls
and all other equipments for the sue
-cessful operation of fair on an
elaborate scale.
The president-and secretary were
authorized to purchase the lumber
for a big grand stand, fifty show
horse stalls, one hundred cattle stalls,
fifty pig stys, two poultry houses or
as many as are needed, and the
planning mill will be ready to de-
liver all this lumber next week.
A. d. Parr, +. r. Moore, W. Il.
Hursey, +. B. Deison and Ellsworth
Cork were appointed a committee to
arrange date for the fair, compile
a premium list and speed program
and advertise the exposition.
it seemed to be the prevalent
opinion that the fair would be held
the second week in August, the week
before the Belington fair, but the
date was not definitely fixed. 1t
will be the aim to hold it prior to the
Clarksburg, Belington, Elkins,
Pennsboro, Weston and Buckhannon
fairs. The date was therefore left
open until after conference with
the secretaries Of these fairs, so that
dates will not conflict.
The opinion is that the daily pros
gram will consist Of one running
race and three light harness races.
with purses at 500 for the running
races, $500 for each of two, slow
harness races daily and 800 each for
other harness races. The aggregate
purse for the meeting will amount to
$4,000, sum much greater than has
ever been ofrered~fn this section Of
the state, and which win prove so
attractive as 10 guarantee very fine
racing.
The association has succeeded
without special effort in disposing
Of all but forty shares Of the
S1O,o00-block Of stock recently of
fered and expects 10 have it ali sold
within a few days at most as it is in
popular demand since definite action
has been taken toward the holding Of
the fair.

BASE BALL CLUB
LOCATES GROUNDS

The committee appointed BY the
directors of the base ball club went
to the new fair grounds Tuesday
afternoon and examined the grounds
with view to the best location of a
diamond, Headed.by "Bull'' Smith
and Thomas Francis, the committee
were taken to the grounds in spec
iaI street car. They found that the
infeld would make an ideal ball
ground, the ground being level as a
billiard table and smoothly sodded.
This was reported to the directors
of the new fair grounds Mt their
meeting Tuesday night. The fair
company decided TO let the base ball
club have the use of the grounds
from the 18th of May to the LIST oil
October for 800 rental. Also per-
mission was granted to erect grand
stand not to exceed 10 feet in height
and bleachers not to exceed 5 feet in
height. The object of regulating
the height of these structures was
done in order not to interfere with
full view Of the track during a
race. 1t was also decided that no
morning practice or games would
be allowed, and no vehicles or
horses would be allowed in the
grounds.
The secretary was instructed to
draw mp a contract embodying these
rules and regulations and to present
it to- the board of directors of the
base ball club at their meeting to-
night for their approval and sigma
ture.
There is not the slightest doubt
but that the base ball club will ac-
ccpt the terms offered, and indeed,
the fair company have acted in a
very liberal and public-spiritcd
manner through the entire trans
action.
The baseball season is now 'assiu-
ed and now to pirk-a winning team
should be the nppermost idea from
the very start not only to have a good
team but a winning team.
