Asphalt Lake Most Valuable.

"There are blue lakes and silver
lakes, but an asphalt lake is the best
of ALL" said a contractor.
II visited the famous asphalt lake
of Trinidad. 1t looks like a great
black swamp surrounded with fringe
of cocoanut palms. A little railway
runs across it, and men stand in it
working some on asphalt firm enough
to support them, some on asphalt in
which they keep sinking down an
inch or two minute, some on asphalt
so soft it is like quicksand.
"The stuff looks like cross be-
tween black mud and pitch. The
lake is 10 acres in size and it's depth
is tremendous. The thick asphalt,
mixed with water, moves a little and
now and then an old tree comes slow
ly up from the depths. The men
work with pickaxes, digging out the
asphalt in Jumps the size of pump

most valuable kind to own. l would

PLAYING FOR EFFECT.

What a howl the Tribune and Tele-
gram are making about the awarding
of the publication of the delinquent
tax list to the Inter-Mountain Republi-
can. The Republicans bid was the
lowest and why shouldn't that paper
get it If it wants it at the price quoted?
The "kiddish" play of the Telegram in
talking about injunction suits and all
that sort of thing is laughable. When
the Telegram found it's first bid was
away too high it made a big reduction
but even it's second proposal was real
ly more than that of the Republican
On what does the kilograms simulat-
ed solcitude for the interest of the tax
payers rest? A paper that offers to
do the work better than the Telegram
possibly could because the Republi
can has five times the circulation of
the Telegram, agrees to do 1t at about
half the remuneration asked by the
Telegram. The Republican gets the
contract Where are the taxpayers
injured? The kilograms solicitude
for the tax payers is truly touching.
When it comes down to legal propo-
sition the county commissioners are
not required to ask for bids for the
publication of the delinquent tax list
at all. They can give the order to the
paper which in their estimation will
afford the greatest publicity at price
not exceeding so cents for each name
and description. The commissioners
asking for bids is an informal volun-
tary act of theirs done to get the SER

HAD GONE FROM LIFE FORE
Frozen Fish Beyond All Hope OF
Resuscitation.

A long pike, frozen in the center
of large cake of ice, caused sew
eral dead game sports to lose bunch
of money last night. The fish and
the block of ice reposed on the back
bar of wellknown thirst parlor and
the pike was viewed with curiosity.
Finally someone started discussion
by stating that If the fish were re-
leased from its prison of ice 1t would
revive and continue to live just as If
there had never been any ice. An
other gent disagreed with the first and
a general argument followed.
One fellow said that that was the
way fl sh spent the winter months, reg
ularly. Like snakes, he said, they re-
manned in a comatose condition all
winter and when the ice melted in
the springtime they were just as
frisky as If summer had continued all
winter The discussion became very
heated and bets amounting to several
hundred dollars were laid on both
sides of the question at issue. The
cake of ice was split and the fish
placed in a tub of lukewarm water,
but al last reports he had shown no
signs of life. The hackers of the re-
suscitation proposition wouldn't give
up the money until an old fisherman
came in and said: EFF you hadn't

board at less than the market price
as an Indictment for elevator patron
age. It is asserted that trust agree

ARE SOME OF THE GAS co@pAN'
les OVER PROSPECTIVE
LEGISLATION.

HUNTINGTON, Dec. IA Officials
Of the United States Natural Gas Com.
pany, which has pipe lines extending
from the West Virginia fields into Ken.
lucky and Ohio, are greatly interest.
ed in the proposition OF the West vir'
ginla board Of Trade to have the
State Legislature enact Law which
will prohibit the piping of gas out Of
the State.
The people Of Pittsburg and other
cities which now receive the greater
portion of their gas from West Virgin
ia, are also considerably exercised at
the prospect Of having their fuel sup
ply CIT of.
DR.. 1. C. White, Of Morgantown, the
State geologist, is now preparing the
bills. There is a popular movement
to keep the gas within West Virginia
so far as constltutlonally possible, and
the State board Of trade is anxious
10 compel factories requiring gas for
fuel to locate in West Virginia. Con.
siderable opposition is expected by the
board of trade from outside interests.
Similar action has been attempted
by the West Virginia Legislature dur
ing the past FIVE years, and 1t has al
ways met with failure, but this year
the prospects for the passage Of the
bill are better.
officials of the local company were
outspoken in their opinion that the
Legislature had not the power to en-
act legislation Of the sort mentioned,
and cited the fact that the State Of
Indiana had failed Of accomplishing 1t
as a basis on which to show lack OF
authority on the part of West Virginia
About three years ago the Indiana
Legislature adopted a measure Of SIM
liar import directed against Chicago
gas corporations. The cases were car.
ried to the Supreme court of the Unit
cd States and that tribunal declared
the act unconstitutional, save that
clause Of 1t which regulated the pres
sure in the mains to an amount not
exceeding the pressure Of the rock
AS the rock pressure in West Vlr-
ginla runs up to 1000 pounds per
square foot and the companies carry
less than 100 pounds in the mains 1t
can be seen that an act covering the
clause allowed by the court would not
affect the companies.
