PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S PRE-
DICAMENT.

II is difficult for a person at all
conversant with the law to under
stand President Roosevelt's position
and motives in dismissing from the
United States army Companies p.
c and d of the Twenty-fiftb Infan-
try. 1t is even more embarrassing
to his admirers to explain now ne
can make his actions conform TO his
platitudes on "a square deal" When
IL is remembered that the offense
charged was not committed by the
companies as such, but by individ-
ual members of some OF them, even
if the allegations are believed. his
nnsifi"-. is all the more indefensible.
II would not have been any more
unreasonable than would have been
the action of a Texas mob in taking
any ten or twelve of these men and
hanging them in a spirit of retalia-
ton for the alleged injury TO the
citizens Of Brownsville. The truly
remarkable part of this discredita-
BILE business is President Roose-
velt's open declaration that he will
presume that all of the members of
the battalion were guilty until they
prove themselves innocent.

ers have not followed closely the

BLUEF1EL.D. w. VA, January o.
AT no period in the recent history OF
business outlook been brighter than at
the beginning OF this new year. For the
past ten years the people of Pocahontas
have been anxionsly looking forward TO
the time when there would be develop
ment Of the coal properties lying west
of the town up Laurci Creek. For some
time appearances have Justified the be-
lief that these expectations would have
been realized before now, but obstacles
had to be overcome which caused repeat
ed delays. It is learned now. however.
that all impediments have been removed,
and already contractors are at work on
the extension OF the railroad to ponft
three miles or more above Pocahontas.
and preparations are being made for the
opening up of several operations along
this extension. Messrs. Bo1ley, Gibson
and Waugh and Boxley and Son have
the contracts for the first three miles.
Colonel James L. Browning Will open
two operations and the Pocahontas Col
lieries Company has been working for sew
eral months at their new opening at
Boissevaine, place which takes its name
from the head Of the financial syndicate
which controls the Galleries Company.
Lyman and Mustard Will also open an
operation at Bolssevatne. The road to
this point will be pushed to rapid COM
pletion. The development has wrought
wonderful advances In valuesapf proper
ty, and as work progresses there will be
still greater demand for property. Already
the ubiquitous promoter has made his
appearance. and the Beechwood Land
Company is offering town lots for sale
at BoIssevaine. will be the center of
new development, 1t being the first, and
for the further reason that 1t will be OPEN
ed on II large scale The end will not be
here, for this rich coal seam extends on
to the head of Dry Fork. and 1t will
not be many years before tho operations
of this new field will extend from IL to
is miles. Then there will be contin-
uous town from Pocnlhontas along the
entire line But even the extension to.
Bolssevane will make a wonderful
change. A large number OF houses have
been erected, commissary Is in full
operation, and large force of men are
at work.
SITUATED between Pocahontas and Bose
yalne are the Browning Mines and a lttle
further on Is Burnleytown, where also
have been erected q number OF houses,
so that Pocahontas will be considerably
elongated" in the near future. The new
year starts out very promising Tor Foca-
hontas and Its immediate vicinity.
