In 1902 the G.. q 0. Railroad entered q
into a contract with the predecessors
of the Rowland Land Co. whereby the
latter agreed to give to the railroad
q 900 acres of coal land The land
company was IN great need of rail
outlet in order to develop its imm ense
holdings of coal lands The railroad
company undertook to provide Coal
river outlet and in consideration the
land people agreed to give them % Ooo
acres of the best coal lands. Tne
aoreement was made in 1902 and the

road had reached certain stage c1

The biggest purchase OF timber
stumpage ever consummated in West
Virginia has just occurred when Z.
Crane & Co., OF Cincinnati, purchased
65. 600 acres lying in Raleigh, Boone,
and Wyoming counties. This purchase
owes this firm control of over 400 900
acres of the finest West Virginia tim
her land and will be sufficient to keep
them supplied with raw material for
the next quarter of a century The re-
cent purchase lies at the headquarters
of Coal and Guyan rivers. and it is the
intention to float most OF the product
to the Ohio river. The timber was
sold to the Cranes by VIM. q. Sproul
and his associates at $S an acre max
ing the purchase price $52O,0O0. Ihe
mineral rights We're retained by the
vendors and the smaller timber will
later be used by them In developing
the coal beneath the surface OF tht
tract.
The cutting of this immense tract o.
timber and the development OF tht
mineral wealth of these 65, 900 acre'
will cause large numbers of men to b'
, employed and big sums will be expend
ed in Raleigh county in wages. 1t i
! pot the intention of the Cranes tC
cut this timber at once. unless tn

Important changes were all ected IN
the directorate of the Norfolk and
Western Railroad Company at a meet
ing of the board held recently. Two
directors, representing the Pennsyl-
yania Railroad interests resigned, and
were succeeded by men not ldentlhed
with the latter corporation. The rea-
SONS for the change:given. unotficially,
OF course, was that the Pennsyl yanla
Railroad, due to the developments OF
the recent investigation, wished to es-
cape the criticism that its directors
dominated the Norfolk and Western
board.
The Pennsylvania Railroad owns a
controlling stock interest in the Nor
folk and Western. and up to today's
meeting six OF the IL directors were
directors and officials of the Pennsyl
vania.
With this change the Pennsylvania
representation is reduced from Six to
four members.
There have been rumors for con
siderable time that changes OF some ma
ture were impending in the Baltimore
and Ohio directorate. Another report
c )ntinues to obtain currency to the Ell
feet that the Pennsylvania will sell the
Baltimore and Ohio 1t is pointed out
that the Pennsylvania and the Baltl
more and Ohio are undeniably parallel
and competing lines aud that the own
ership by the Pennsylvania is a viola
tion of the Interstate Commerce law.

Railroad men have been deeply inter
ested for some time over the probable
effect that the Observation-Disclosures
Railroad of H. H. Rogers will exert
over the destiny of the Norfolk and
Western. The road that is being built
Dy Mr. Rogers from the Pocah0ntas
coal fields in West Virginia to Norfolk
parallels the Norfolk and Western. and
is much shorter and more direct
route to the Atlantic seabOard.
1t is maintained that the road own
ed by the Rogers interests. which ls
now nearing completion, will prove
serious competitor of the Norfolk and
Western.
Norfolk and w estern interests, on
the other hand. say that they do not
apprehend any dangerous competition
from the Observation-Disclosures Rail-
way. They say that Mr.. Rogers ard
his associates own only about 25,OOC
acres of coal land in West Virginia and
that their coal is of lower grade than
the POcahOntas.

An Old Tiine Firc ncnnrt,nent.

In the eighteenth century. when Eng
fish cities hau no systematic arrange
ments for putting out fires, the city
of Lisbon toasted of a fire department
which was the admiration Of travel
ers The water which the people of
Lisbon used was brought and sold to
them by watermen, who carried it on
their backs in barrels. These water
men We're divided into wards, each
member Of whom took command Of
the rest in rotation.
Every man was obliged by the city
ordinances to carry his barrel home
full of water every night, and in case
of fire the Waterman who had com
mand went around routing out Of bed
all his fellows, who then picked up
their water barrels and ran to the fire
This sort of a fire department would
now be regarded as extremely slow,
but the Lisbon houses were all built of
stone or brick and burned so slowly.
if they took fire at all, that the barrel
brigade really had time to assemble
before much harm had been done.
An English sailor who happened to
see fire in Lisbon was disguised at
the very slow progress that the con
Migration made.
"A fig for such a fire. he exclaimed
''There'S no spirit in this country. Why,
in England we should have had dozen

Hang or Marry,

In the feudal days of Scotland, when
steal their neighbors' cattle, a baron
protected his vassals from the aristo-
cratic cattle litter by hanging outright
those taken red handed without wait
ing for the slow process of the law.
When Sir William Scott was a young
border laird he made one night foray
on Sir Gideon Murray's lands While
driving off Il herd OF cattle he was
caught and, being brought before Sir
Gideon, ordered to be hanged Hang
ing cattle thief was, such an every
day affair that Sir Gideon went about
his ordinary business. But his wife.
hearing that handsome youth of a
good family was to be executed sought
her husband and Indignantly eXclaim-
ed:
"IIoot Gideon, what do l hear? You
talk the life Of the winsOme young
Laird of Harden wi three ill faured
lasses in the house O. yer ain TO

''Ye're recht, Maggie, my dear" re-
Piled the baron, grasping the situation.
"Wullic shall tax our muckle mould
Meg, or else he'll stretch for it."
The helpless prisoner consented and
much to his fathers surprise, returned
home with bride from the neighbours
house he had ridden out to harry.

International Baseball.

We have licked the British again.
This time we have conquered
them with the baseball bat.
The great American game has
suddenly grown very popular over
seas. The finish season in England
has been successful, as evidenced
by the fact that in London alone
FIVE new baseball leagues have been
organized.
The diamond fever has returned
to Scotland. Golf holds its own
on its native heath, but the ancient
and honorable game of cricket
trembles in the balance.
Ireland is next. Once started
there all lovers of the pigskin
know the consequence-every Shil,
lalah in existence will be beaten
into ball bat.
The future historian may not
note it, but the complete introduc
tion of the American sport intC
! Great Britain constitutes a dis
tinct epoch in the history O.
Anglo -Saxondom.
Talk about your ''haRds acros

compared to the robust fraternity
of the fans.
How can there be Gny troubl,
betweeR those who shout for th'
same heroes. Here is & real Anglo
Saxon slliance-an alliance of de
votion to the one great and only
sport of many Caucausians.

STICKS In THE STOMACH.
Feeling That Often Comes to People
With Weak Digestion

poor sufferer from indigestion once
said that his stomach felt as though II
was filed with sticks and as though
some of them were on fire and burn
ing him up inside.
When the stomach and the organs
of digestion and nutrition are weak
ened and do not act properly, the
symptoms of i'll health that follow
are many and varied. There Is often
a feeling of hcaviness in the stomach,
there is distress and nervousness, diz-
illness, nausea, nervous and sick head
aches, inability to sleep well, pains in
the side and limbs, specks before the
eyes and general peevish, irritable
condition.
All these troubles are the direct re.
suit of indigestion. Cure this by
strengthening the stomach and d.
gestive system with Mi-o-na stomach
tablets and your symptoms Of i'll
health will vanish like dew before the
morning sun; life will be joyous, and
digestion will be so natural that you
will forget you have stomach.
Mi-O-na stomach tablets cost but
SOC a box and are sold by the Red
Cross Pharmacy under an absolute
guarantee that they will be success-
full In every case where used accord
ing to directions or money will be re-
funded.

Arbibration, as applied to labor
controversies, Mr.. Bryan believes
to be quite as feasible and desir-
able as 1t is in connection with IN
ternational disputes. Government
by injunction is denounced by an
attack upon the jury system, but
he says the Importance of the sub.
iect woEld be minimized by the
adoption of a system of arbitra-
tion. The demand for q universal
eight hour law is approved.
THE MONEY QUESTION.
On the money subject, Mr.. Bry-
an asserts that unprecedented pro-
ducticn of gold has brought vic
tory to both the advocates of gold
and the bimetalists, and that the
latter are satisfied with their tri-
umph if the former are with
theirs.
