The Garbage Question.

There is but little, If any thing
needed. to be added to the present
garbage ordinances of the city. What
is needed, is their enforcement. Let
those who are elected and appointed
to enforce the laws do their duty
and there will be but little COM
plant about garbage.
The city council talks about Inn
posing a general tax for the removal
of garbage. That is all wrong. as
some of the largest property hold
ers have the least garbage. Ger
tainly, there would be no justice.
equality or fairness IN making them
contribute something to defray the
expense of carrying OF the refuse
from a hotel. butcher shop or the
like. What is wanted in this re-
spect is a rate, such as exists with
the water system Of the city. A
man that has much garbage should
nay much more than man who has
but little garbage. Fix schedule
Of rates. Provide for licensing gar
bage haulers and let as many OF
them take out license as want to.
Make It so those licensed will obey
the law or pay heavy penalty. If
they do not. Order cans placed.
compel every man to have his gar
bage hauled away by the licensed
haulers, and collect for the hauling,
either through the licensed hauler
or some one appointed for the pur-
pose. The city may pay the haulers.
If 1t likes, or It may arrange It so
that he can make his own collec-
lions, but they must not exceed the
amount fixed by ordinance. Indeed.
in this connection, garbage inspec-
tor may be found necessary, before a
perfect garbage system is establish
ed.
But as stated, to have a quite sat
isfactory operation of the present
garbage system, there is but little
needed. If the ones in authority
would but enforce the laws.

John Buskoski is safely in jail af-
ter behavior IA wild man at the
Rosebud coal mines on the Short
Line near Dola. He is either crazy
or was crazy drunk. His actions
Saturday evening there terrorized the
community.
First the man proceeded to break
in the front Of the store, smashing
doors and windows In the most reck-
less manner. Then he proceeded to
the boarding house near by, broke
windows. furniture and other things
and acted in the most disorderly
manner. The occupants Of the
boarding house fed in great fright.
Two or three nearby dwelling
houses also received similar atten-
ton from Buskoski and much e1-
citement was caused. There seemed
no possible way to pacify him. nor
could he be captured by ordinary
means.
Finally, the denizens lassoed him.

Great Historic Lesson.

As noted in Mondays issue Of the
Telegram the coming jamestown Elk
position Is of great historic interest.
AS stated the beginning of the Ma
ton was at the place. where the ex-
position is to be held. as all so well
know. and certainly It win be Of In
terest to see what Is left of the
pioneer settlement, and the demon
strations of the strides made by a
mighty nation that sprang up from
that spot
Nothing now remains of the pomp
and pride of the once heroic village
but the uncovered tower Of the old
church and few resurrected ruins
yet what hallowed associations cling
like the ivy about the crumbline
ruins Of the old church tower.
How appropriate then, and how
important to all the people of the ma
ton and the world, Is the great inter
national celebration to be held on
the shores of Hampton Roads, oppo-
site the Old Point Comfort OF

better to take hold Of hard surfaces,
and cut dirt to work toward the mid
die Of the road. without It, the
drag at this point would soon become
rounded, thus impairing its useful
ness. In order that the drag may
be drawn at an angle Of about forty
I'VE degrees the chain is arranged
Wit ha long and assort hitch. The
face Of the front slab should be free
from projections and irregularities
which would interfere with the free
slidin gof earth along toward the
middle Of the road. The long hitch
goes over the front slab around a
cross-pieee, and is fastened to the
back slab. The other end Of the
chain or the short hitch Is passed
through q hole in the front slab.
It can be fastened here. or to give a
stronger hold on the frame It may
be fastened to the back slab. It is
of course understood that the two
slabs face the same direction.
The plank drag is made Of pine
timbers nine feet long. eight inches
wide and two inches thick. The
two pieces may be reinforced on the
inner side by strips Of two by stz
inches. giving greater strength and
rightly to the drag. In other re
spects the plank drag is practically
identical with the split log. The
former has an advantage in that I,
is lighter, more easily controlled and
easier to make. To afford the driver
a place 10 stand platform Of one
inch plank is laid upon the Cross
pieces. BY shifting his weight to
different points on this platform the
driver can cause the drag to take
hold or run practically clear at eth
er end. The surface of the road will
suggest how to manipulate the drag
The employment OF such devices
might save thousands Of dollars an
nually to the taxpayers

Aid a Noble Cause.

The philanthropic purpose put into
action by the Salvation Army through
it's local representatives, and having
for its object Christmas dinner for
Clarksburg's poor Is happily pro-
ceeding to a most successful cul-
mination, thanks to the generous IN
clination of those, possessed Of a
competence and imbued with true
Christmas spirit, who are willing to
share their good fortune with others
seriously lacking in worldly wealth.
To further this noble work, these
self-sacrificing souls are planning to
sell several hundred copies Of The
War Cry, which is the Salvation
Army publication and which in its
present form is most attractive and
interesting issue. A copy Of The
War Cry will be placed in every bas-
ket Of provisions sent to the poor.
Now 1t is needless to observe that
the Army officers should be given
every encouragement in their noble
work, striving as they are to uplift
and upbuild class in society that
previous to the advent of the Saliva
ton Army received but scant atten-
ton from other Christian agencies.

used. One Is the split-log. the other

Gas Fayors Us.

It is, indeed, true Clarksburg puts
its natural gas to the front as an in
ducement to Industrial and other
concerns to locate here. and we be-
lieve no other place in the state can
offer such great inducement, for we
are certainly in the very center OF
the greatest gas field in the State.
and 1t appeals to every one that we
do not have to pipe our gas from
other counties or sections.
The Petersburg Dispatch-News in
the following editorial is doubtless
moved by spirit to boost Parkers-
burg from the promoters stand

the case:
"From Charleston and clarksburg.
two towns that have Dragged much Of
their great gas supply and proclaim
ed the low price paid there for It,
are by no means resting easy and
compliment Reports from those
two places show similar situation,
although not as bad as prevails In
the other towns referred to above.
The Charleston Gazette tells us that
the minimum price of natural gas in
It's city for industrial use, is eleven
cents.
"Parkersburg-a favored city. In
deed, in thousand and one different
ways, is more highly favored with
gas as reasonable rates than it's
neighbors. Here the supply is am
pie and the domestic rate very salts
factory. It cannot be raised for at
least three years to come. for the
company has existing contracts
which do not expire till then. The
price for manufactures is also
agreeable. It is eight cents. with a
supply more than equal to the de-
mand. It gets its gas from the great
gas felis of Lewis county, with
Richie to fall back on. Then.
there is yet hope of another company
coming here to market its gas, bring

untouched gas areas of Calhoun and

largest companies. is authority for
the statement that this city will have
all the gas 1t needs. sold to Its con-
sumers as a reasonable rate for the
next twenty-five years"
It win be observed that Parkers-
burg depends on other places and
sections for gas. while all here
know clarksburg has no such de-
pendence, and as to cheap gas the
Telegram directs attention to the
fact that on ordinary consumption
Parkersburg pays IS cents a thou
sand net, while Clarksburg pays but
10 cents a thousand. The same
ratio is true as to gas for factories.

me Bond Issue.

II Is well enough for the board OF
trade to take a part in the move
ment for a bond issue for clarks-
burg. since that body is supposedly
. representative body. But the
board Of trade does not represent
the people IN their entirety. for the
reason that the board is confined and
limited in membership. There are
q great many business men and cih-
zens Of Clarskburg, great many
taxpayers. who are not members of
the board of trade. men who have
not delegated anything at all to the
board Of trade. However. this does
not signify that the board of trade
is not a good and useful organiza-
ton for even those who have dele
gated It no powers. so far as their
interests are concerned.
There is a BODY Of men. however.
who are delegated 70 represent the
whole people. Ther were thus dele
gated at the polls. at elections regu-
larly held under the laws Of the city
and state. We moan the city coun-
cil- That the people delegated to
that body any power to issue bonds
for the city's benefit Is not here as
serted. To the contrary no such au-
thority was given and no such au-
thority viii be assumed by that body.
But, as there is agitation of bond
issue, with a considerable number
approving 1t. and as tehre can be no
bond issue, even II such authority
be conferred by the legislature, I'M
less the city authorities call such
election. It appears that the council
itself must in the end. II not in the
Initiative, take the most important
part In presenting to the Legislature
a bill authorizing the council to hold
4 special election to voice the senti-
ment Of the people on the question.
and. If the people are to be given an
opportunity to voice their sentiment
on the question for or against. there
must be speedy action. as the legis-
1ature win shortly begin.
The council may assent to the
board Of trades relieving 1t from
preparing the way TO ask for the
passage of bill empowering the
council to hold an election for the
purpose Of settling the question one
way or the other. but It should keep
itself thoroughly in touch with the
progress made by the board in the
matter. In short. there ought to be
due diligence at once so that the bill
may go to the legislature at the very
opening Of the session now but little
over one half month of.
The board itself ought speedily to
report either to the council or the
people that they may have oppor-
tunity to learn the meaning Of the
bill. Indeed, the bill ought to be
published several DAYS before being
presented to the legislature In order
that any changes desired by the
people, not the board of trade or the
council, may be made. With that
done and the approval of the people
in general had, there will be no
trouble at the special or other cleo
ton on the subject of adopting it.
Unless It is done the work of the
board of trade and the council. as
well as that of the legislature in this
particular, may be as naught.
