The Electric Pump
In Competition With the Ditch, Canal
Steam or Gasoline Driven
Pu m D.

The Electric Pump has driven the ditch, canal
steam and gasoline pump out of the field in Southern
California and elsewhere
1t has made the desert bloom; made worthless
land valuable: quadruped the value of lands and pro-
ducts and in some cases the increase in value has
been 10-fod and 100.fod.
Can sufficient water be obtained for irrigation
from wells =?
Some people say no.
They used to say No in the desert of Southern
California; but they do so no longer; they are get
ting the water and plenty of it and also in the
Rogue River Valley.
In California they have to 60 from 30 to several
hundred feet in depth and pay $54 per season per
horse power.
In the Rogue River valley. in most of the cases
you get ample water from 1 to so feet deep and YOU
pay $50 per horse power for the irrigating
season.

KTZMlLLERSNLLE TO
HAVE POSTOFFICE
Order of Postoffice Department Set
ting Aside Recent Ruling.

Kitzmillersville, Garrett county,
which is located on the Potomac river
opposite the town of Blaine, West Va,
where a number of large coal mining
operations are centered, will have a
postoffice of its own in the near future
and the people will not be compelled to
go over the river to another state in Or
der to secure their mail and to despatch
correspondence as had been done since
the town was first laid out and estab-
lished.
Kitzmillersyiile was chartered by -.
act of the recent Legislature VIII
gives it local government as a mum
pality with Mayor and members of ;i,e
Town Council who are to be elected by
the people. Some of the enterprising
residents of the town are talking very
seriously of establishing a National
bank there and this will probably be
done during the coming summer.
In ordering the establishment of the
postoffice at charlottesville First As
sistant Postmaster-General Hitchcock
set aside rule of the department I'M
der which one posLoffice cannot be es-
tablished within mile of postofice
already established.
The matter of the Kitzmiliersville
postofiice has been before the depart
ment for some time and at one time the
request for the establishment of a post
Office there was refused, because the
town was within mile of Blaine, w. Va.
The citizens OF Kitzmilersvile, who
were compelled to go across the Poto-
mac river to another town and into an
other State to get their mail, however,
refused to accept the decision as final,
and through Representative Pearre,
representing this district in Congress,
they again filed petition for a post
Office of their own. First Assistant
Postmaster-G General Hitchcock became
personally interested in the case, and
decided that the ruling was unjust.
The new postolfice will not be opened
for business until d number of formai-
ties, including the appointment of
postmaster, are taken up and disposed

kLkS!lf WAS BUT A DREAM
Westernport Biacksmith's Repated
Discovery of Process of Welding
Copper.

Mr.. J. G. Clark, who is an old and eX-
pert blacksmith in Westernport. called
at this Office this week, and related the
details Of rather strange story, but
one which we have no reason to doubt.
He states that copper is thing that
has never been welded, but as copper,
silver and gold are metals little out
of our line, we know not much about
them. He says that copper has resisted
all the ingenuity that ever could be
brought to bear, and was never sue
cessfully welded, also stating, that the
government, to encourage genius, has
had standing offer of $25, 900 out for
q long time to be given to the first
man who can discover q successful
method Of Welding copper together so
that it will be Of service to the trade
and to science.
About fourteen months ago, accord
ing to his story, he had dream and in
that dream he seemed to understand
how copper could be welded. He arose
early the next morning and tried his
hand upon it, but did not succeed in the
difficult task. But he did not become
discouraged, and went right on trying
whenever he had a chance to do any
thing in that line, until the recent time,
when he claims he has discovered how
this former difficult thing can be done
to completeness that is surprising,
and he lays it all to the efforts he made
as result of his dream. He brought to
this office with him lot of samples
showing as complete welding as can be
done in any kind of metal, and is now
almost ready to claim the premium Of
fered by the government. We hope Mr..
Clark's discovery will prove a success
and something, as he says, that the
world has never been able to do, and
that it will bring him great fortune in
time. Piedmont Independent.

WRITES OF HIS EXPERIENCE
E. T. Fleming Tells of the San
Y Francisco Horror.

Mrs. G. w. Haulenbeek received a
letter at Deer Park on Sunday evening
from Oakland, Cal, written at 10
O'Clock the morning of the disastrous
San Francisco earthquake by her SON.
in-law, E. T. Fleming. Mr.. Fleming
says:
eve have just passed through what
| pray God may never be experienced
by us again. The house rocked some
thing fearful, and with fallen chimneys
all about US, no damage was done to
our household other than the breaking
of vase. We are, of course, very
much excited and nervous. My nerves
are a usual thing of iron, but just at
present they are the reverse. | am
deeply thankful that, since it did occur,
it came before the beginning of San
Franscisco's business hours, as other
wise the loss of life would have been
something awful. We are waiting
with the keenest anxiety to hear from
my sister and her people, and hope God
has been as kind to them as he has been
to us. -

TIE PRESIDENTS OLD AND YOUNG
j. b. Produces Historical Facts
That Are Generally Little
Considered,

The age question has always been
considered an important one as to per-
sons who hold or have held high offices
IN this country. There is no age limit
IN our national constitution, as to the
President, except that he shall be 35
years OF age or over. No restriction
after that age as to eligibility. Grant
and Roosevelt were the youngest men
to be elected; both at the age of 46
years. W. H. Harrison, the Oldest. in
his 6Sth year in 1910, lived to fill the
great Office but single month, is the
shortest service of any of the 26 differ
ent Presidents.
AS to the ages of some of our earlier
Presidents, John Adams died July 4,
1926, at the great age of 81 years.
Thomas Jefferson, on the same day
and year, aged So. James Madison, de-
ceased, in 1885, at the age of IS. James
Monroe died on the 4th of July, 1881,
not quite so. Three Presidents died on
our national birthday. John Quincy
Adams died in February, 1848, in one of
the halls of Congress, aged so. Martin
Van Buren, in 1862, aged 80 years. Two
other presidents came near reaching the
octogerian mark; Jackson, in 1845, at rs
years, and Buchanan at the same age
in 1868. He was the only lifelong bach
elor President.
Our own Charles Carroll of Carroll
ton, one of the Sc signers of the declar-
alton Of independence, was the last Of
the list to depart, in 1892, at the great
age of 50 years; the longest in life of
all his immortal associates.
A few facts might be in order in re-
gard to foreign sovereigns. Queen Vic
toria ascended the English throne in
1887, at the age of IS years. She sat
upon the throne of England to her death
in January, 1903, a period of &C years,
Al years of which was of widowhood.
This was the longest reign of any Eng
fish sovereign. George the 3rd, was the
next; went upon the throne in 1850, and
died in 1920. His term was marred by
several regencies en- account Of mental
infrmities.

James Hooton and Lutricia Wootrin..
each aged about eighteen years, were
struck by eastbound Baltimore and Ohio
passenger train No. IA, near Rowles-
burg, W. Va, their home, Sunday even
ing, and it is believed that they are ia
tally injured. They were removed to
Rowlesburg, where they were attended
by the company surgeons. They were
lovers and were walking on the track to
Buckhorn Wall to view the remains of
the freight wreck, occurring last Friday
when a number of cars were hurled over

dinner of The section men everywhere.
On account Of the Oakland wreck Nc. 3,
at this place, had switched over to the
south track, hence the collision.
Tuesday morning about two o'clock
two east-bound freights took the side
track at this place 10 allow the passen-
ger train TO pass. When No. had
passed the freights backed out on to the
main track. The engineer of the rear
train supposed that he had gottenyba
far enough and stopped his train. The
engineer of the front train backed with
considerable speed, and telescoped the
caboose and two box cars, and forced
the front wheels of the rear engine off
the track. The car next to the caboose
was loaded with whiskey, and the other
car with paper wrappers for beer bot
ties. In the crash the stove in the ca
boose was upset and the wreckage set
on fire. In the caboose, asleep in a
bunk was an extra man Buckalew, on
his way to Keyser to report for work.
He~was awakened by the crash, and
found himself pinned to his bunk and
the car on fire. He could not move and
made up his mind that he would be
burned to death. Notwithstanding the
intense heat, John Flaherty and others
made an effort to rescue Buckalew. 1t
seemed impossible to move the timbers
that were holding the unfortunate man
to his bunk, and they were about to give
up, when Buckalew was seen to be
making an extra effort to extricate him
self. They also made desperate effort,
and was successful, and Buckalew was
pulled out of the wreck, his pants on
fire, and his hair scorched. He was
carried TO the tower, and Drs. Legge
and limbaugh summoned from Oak
land. On examination it was found
that Buckalew had no bones broken, but
was considerably bruised. He was tax
en- to Keyser on No. 8. The telescoped
cars were burnt to ashes. The freight
conductor had his hands badly burnt in
helping to rescue Mr.. Buckalew.

LITTLE SERMONS. NO. a.
BY UNCLE JAY BEE.


What a host of Pilgrims the world
sees, always moving Zionward; and it is
beautiful to know that those going be-
fore may, in q manner, prepare the way
for them that come after. Surely it
was good and pleasant for Christiana to
be so kindly greeted and made the more
welcome for Christian, her husbands
sake, at the various stations along the
pilgrims way, as She with her dear
boys and Mercy, came following after.
How kind was her reception and how
royal the entertainment, especially at
the POrter's Lodge! All the kind words,
the salutation with kiss, and the lodg =
ing, how delightful! In the same cham
Der and upon the very bed of him that
had gone before, did they find comfort
all the night long Even the young maid
Mercy too, was made partaker of the
common JOY, though she was not of the
same house, but only a fellow traveller.
And in that chamber, through the night
watches, came the richer blessing, in
the dream that caused her to laugh for
joy, to her that was but companion in
the journey. And so it often is, and
right it should be so; for in this is made
good the word of one who said: Come
with us, and we will do thee good. )"
And that same dream of the young
damsel; how sweet and charming. Well
might she laugh in her sleep, seeing all
those brave things that still awaited her.
And what is for one, is for all travel
ers Zionward, for this whole company,
resting in the blouse of Peace" there
should be help along the way, to deliver
from the evil, and sure prospect of en-
trance through, and kind reception
within the Beautiful Gate" at the end
of the way.

An INDIGNANT French Bride.

An indignant little woman of France,
Mrs. Louise Eschambreuer, has had her
husband jailed at Clarksburg, W. Va,
on attachment proceedings to recover a
loan of $3.50. She says she was welded
in France last fall, and her husband i'm
mediately borrowed $3.50 that he might
come to America and prepare place
for her. She waited long, and finally
came to Clarksburg, and has since pre-
pared a temporary abode for her recre-
ant lord in the Harrison county jail. She
boots the idea of a reconciliation, and
says as soon as she gets her money she
will glide back to sunny France and for
get her troubles.

fact that the case was not finally
