Bio Loo Tide in Gnnan.

The biggest log tide in the history
Of Gnyan river for years is at the
flood today.
Last night logs commenced to
enter the boom above Guyandotte
and by ten O'Clock this morning all
the pockets of the boom had been
filled and the river jammed.
1t was estimated at three o'clock
this afternoon that over 10000 logs
were safely lodged within the boom,
aud more are coming iu rapidly.
About 10000 logs, the biggest
run of timber on any tide in the
Guyan river for many years, will
come out ON this rise. If 10 we're

The most remarkable thing a bout
the Presidents recent speech is the
hesitancy that the most public men
display in discussing it. Truly it was
pre'ty startling speech for the Sen
ate to listen to. They sat through the
remarks on the Muck Rake and ap
plaud> d loudly. The President
was then hitting some of the writ
ers who lave stirred up Trouble in
the Senate and elscv here both for
the just aud the unjust. But when
it came to the question of an in
come and Inheritance tax, the train
ed politicians scented danger afar
off maybe, but danger none the
les, aud they not only sat deadly
still, but they have been lodging
the Ubiquitous interviewer ever
since The usual excuse they make
is that they have not yet had time
to thoroughly look into the speech
and decide hat it's all about Now
that speech needs very little going
into TO decide a. to ITS meaning. It
is a frank statement that many Of
the private fortunes of this country
have grown SO huge and the "intcr-
ests' they represent are so entrench
ed that it is rapidly becoming
question whether the moneyed men
shall control legislation or whether
legislation shall control them. Had
the great moneyed interests been
content to submit themselves to the
law, and had ,they shown any dis.
position to fair play, it would have
been hard to reproach any man for
reaplng the fruits of his industry.
But there is no need to resort to the
muck rake to show that they have
not played fair. They haye under
taken to set themselves above the
law aud they have invited strife be-
tween labor and capital. They have
not proved themselves good citi-
zens in many cases and the Presi.
dents speech points out the simplest
means to curb them. Perhaps it is
radical, revolutionary, socialistic,
call it what you will, to suggest
curbing them at all. But that is
the plain meaning of the Presidents
speech and it Is going to be the ut
terauce that will keep people think
ing and talking all through the next
presidential campaign. Political
leaders who choose may decline to
discuss it. But ttey will have to
reckon with it in all subsequent
elections. There Is nothing oc-
cult and hidden in it, 1t is just the
plain proposition, "Shall we so con
troll the vast accommodations Of
wealth in this country so that they
can no longer menace the general
well being Of the nauou?' The
rate bill has been great national
problem up to date, but it looks a.
though it would soon have TO take a
place as second page reading matter
in the shadow Of the larger problem
that has been presented for public
discussion.

VARSITY RUGBY GAME IN BALANCE

universities of Stanford and California
to compete in varsity contests in their
first year will be definitely decided at
a Joint meeting of the athletic commit
tees Of the faculties of both institu-
tions, to be held at Berkeley. The
question has caused much contention
between the two universities of late
because under q ruling adopted by the
faculty of California the freshies were
shut out. No action has been taken
here.
Upon the decision tomorrow depends

Mining Congress today listened to a
paper by State Senator E. M. de la
vergne of Colorado Springs on the sub
ject Mutual Relations and Grievances

ducers." He read the conditions inn
posed by the American Smelling and
Refining Company, which, he claimed,
were unfair.
Franklin s. Guiterman, general man
ager of the American Smelling and
Refining Company, replied to De la
Yergne. He declared that the so-called
trust had competition on all sides In
Colorado. He quoted figures to show
that since the combination had gone
into effect there had been consider
able reduction in charges. He defended
at length the conditions of which SEN
ator de la Vergne complained

The report also recommended the
