EDITOR REGISTER While driving
along one of our county roads few
days ago, | was much surprised and
grieved TO find beautiful old oak tree,
which had for years given refreshing
shade to travellers along the road, now
lying PROSTATE. a victim TO the short
sighted thrift () of its owner. 1t is,
indeed, poor economy which now trav-
els abroad ruthlessly destroying the
beauty Of our forests as well as the few
shade trees on our roads and in our
country villages, and leaves US exposed
alike to the heat of summer, with its
destructive droughts, and the severity
of winter storms.
On the occasion of which speak, |
stopped and asked the woodsmau the
value in dollars and cents of the fine
old giant OF the roadside, and was told
that its commercial" value was S25.
Then | asked its age, and was informed
that, reckoning by the rings In the
wood, II was 100 years old. "But it was
hale aud hearty, was it not ~ | contin-
ued. "Un, yes, he said, good for an
other hundred years" The beauty,
shade aud comfort of hundred years
sold for S25-what a frultless invest
mentl
The incident reminds one of an anec-
dote told of certain Bishop, whose us
ual placidity makes il seem rather fun
ny. A minister in one of the remote
parishes of his diocese was having his
mountain chapel repaired. II was a
simple structure, but It's browning glory
and pride consisted in beautiful. hard
wood ceiling. The pastor was called
away for few days, and with careful
and, as he thought, explicit directions,
he left the workmen TO finish the job in
his absence. When he returned they
had completed the work and, in addi-
ton, they had painted the hardwood
ceiling. NOW, Bishop" said the ex-
as perated rector, what ought TO be
done TO man who had no better sense
than To paint a glorious hand polished
hardwood ceiling 20 Take him out
and shoot him said the Bishop.
But since this san inconvenient mode
OF executing justice, suppose we form
an Association for the Protectl IN Of
Trees" such as exists in a neighboring
county Of Virginia. Our public schools
are enjoined by the State TO observe ar
Dor day, tC encourage the planting aud
protection of trees, and we should do all
in our power 10 cultivate public sem
timent that shall act as a restraint upon
the lum bermen who 20 about the coun-
try making immense profits from which
the original owners get a very small
share. 1t would require very slight
effort of enlightened public sentiment
to correct this evil, and those who make
it would be entitled to the thanks OF
the present generation and of the gen.
erations to come.

newed interest is taken in the survey

to contain ore of the best quality and
of sufficient quantity to interest New
York capitalists. The Wall Street

ganization OF the Shenandoah Ore and

chartered under the laws of New Jer-

their products to the railroad, by
which they will be taken to the fur
naces in Pennsylvania.

HOW JAPS KEEP STRONG.
Registers Readers Can Learn Some
thing Of Value From This.

Such thing as weakling is hard
ly known in Japan. The wonderful
endurance of the Japanese soldiers
and sailors in the recent war has been
the marvel of all nations. Both men
and women are well, happy and
strong.
The reason for this, so careful in
vestigators tell us, is that the Japanese
from childhood up know how to keep
well through care of the digestive
system. If they have trouble with
indigestion, heartburn, wind on the
stomach, loss of appetite, sleepless-
ness. headaches, rheumatic pains,
backaches or any of the other tron-
bles caused by weak stomach, they
treat themselves with some of the
principal remedies that compose Mi
o. ma, a stomach remedy that has al
ready large sale in Shepherdstow OVID
at Remnants Pharmacy.
So uniformly successful has the
remedy been IN curing all stomach
troubles where it is used in accord
ance with the simple directions given
with each box, that Remnants Phar-
macy give signed guarantee with
every so cent package to refund
the money if Mi-o-na fails to benefit.
They take all the risk. If you
have any stomach weakness, are ner-
vous or fear that some articles of food
will cause trouble and Indigestion,
here's the opportunity to get well
without risking cent. Those who
use Mi-o-na are able to eat anything
digestible without fear of i'll results.

The State Assessment Fixed.

The Board of Public Works has
finally fixed the assessment of real es-
tate in West Virginia, and an enor-
nous increase has been made in val
uations. In 1904 the total assessed
value of real estate in West Virginia
was $l68 1876 .6S2. The assessment
fixed by the land assessors last year,
Rs finally approved by the county
courts, increased the amount to the
huge sum of $422, GIL, SOB. and now
the State board has further increased
it to $475, l63, 329--a total increase
over the old assessment of $306,977.-
CAT, or 2.82 times as much as the old.
The old assessment of Jefferson
county was $4.144.965 The new
was increased to $6,53S 0l0, and to
this the Board of Public Works adds
5 per cent or 1926, COL, making it
now stand Sc, 1854 919.
The old assessment of Berkeley
county was 81, 5S2.9S9. The assess
ors and the county court fixed it at
S6.182,444. The State boards adds
20 per cent to these figures, or 81
5,6l1, making the final assessment
S7,728055, or one and two.thirds
more than the old assessment.
In fourteen of the counties the
Roord nj Pnhlic Works made no
change in the assessments fixed by
the county courts. In two counties,
Morgan and Monopgalia, the assess
ment was slightly reduced by the
board. In Fayette county, coal
county. the old assessment Was $4.-
09l ,348; the county court made 1t
$8,129,656; the State board added
Sc SOB 725 to this, running it up to
$l4,633,3Sl. Harrison, Randolph,
Preston, Richie, Kanawha and Ma
rion counties were heavily increased
by the board, Mercer was almost
doubled, and Mcdowell was increased
from $l3. 364.772 to $l9.37S.719, or
six and one-fourth times as much as
it was in 1904.
The heaviest increases were made
in the counties where most OF the
real estate is owned by the big coal
companies, and where the coal, oil,
gas and timber development has been
greatest. These counties have here
tofore escaped their fair share of tax
alton, but they are catching it now
1t must be said, in fairness to the
Board of Public Works, that they
seem to have done their duty without
fear or favor and absolutely regard
less of partisan bias There were in.
creases in 26 Republican counties and
l3 Democratic counties. In the ag-
ricultural counties the increase was
very small. In the coal counties,
like Mcdowell, Mercer, Fayette and
Preston, where the big Republican
maiorities come from, the increases
have been heaviest, and the board has
been uuinfuenced by the rich and pow
erful corporations that control the
natural resources of the State.
The Board OF Public Works has
given much time and attention to
this matter of assessment. Every
section of the State was visited, and
every person who desired was heard
by the board. A vast deal of evil
dence was taken down, and after seri.
GUS and careful consideration the re-
suits have been finally announced.

EARTHQUAKE IN CALIFORNIA.

An appalling disaster occurred yes
terday in California, when an earth
quake destroyed large part of San
Francisco and adjacent towns, causing
the death of several hundred persons
and the injury of thousands OF others.
1t was the most severe earthquake
that has ever been recorded in this
country. The first shock was felt at
5l3 a. m, lasting three minutes, aud
later in the morning other tremors OF
the earth followed. Details of the
catastrophe are still meagre at this
writing, but it is estimated that 5O0
persons were killed outright and that
the property loss will reach 100000
600.
The heaviest loss was in the busl-
ness part of the city. Many magnih-
cent structures were wholly or partial
ly destroyed, including hotels, public
buildings, churches, huge Office build
ings, wholesale houses, stores, etc. To
add to the horror, fire broke out In
many places, and as the water mains
had been destroyed the fremen were
practically helpless to stay the flames.
Dispatches this morning say that a
vast pail of smoke hangs over the
ruined city and many fires are burn.
