The recent arrangement with
Korea makes the emperor of Japan
ruler over a territorial area which
altogether is very close to that of
the state of Texas. But while the
governor of Texas represents a pop
ulation of about 3,50O,000 the
mikado holds sway over some Co.
900, 900 people. In other words,
a country of which we are accus-
toned to th;ak as little Japan"
now exceeds in area and equals in
population the German empire.
1t exceeds France in both area and
population. 1t also exceeds Aus

It's population exceeds by nearly
90 per cent the entire population
Of South America.
This is the little Japan" which
has recently taken a seat among
the world powers.

DOG DIES TO SAVE FRIEND
PIunges into Reservoir, in New Jersey,
After Man Attacked by Epilepsy.

New York-To her friendship
for a man was due the death yes
terday afternoon of Rose, a power
full St. Bernard dog, on the sum
nit of Snake Hill, New Jersey,
where are situated the Hudson
County Almshouse and other in
situations. The animal tried to
save Edward Beasley, an inmate of
the Almshouse for five years, who
was attacked by epilepsy and tot
tered into a reservoir.
Beasley was drowning when
Rose leaped a barrier between her
and the water and sank her teeth
into the mans clothing. The man
took death grip on her throat,
and although the St. Bernard was
able to swim easily with two men,
as she had often shown, the man s
hold could not be broken.
When Beasley went to the in
stitution from Hoboken, broken in
health from his malady, he formed
an attachment for the dog, the
property of John w. Stewart,
deputy warden. When permitted
to leave the institution Beaslev al
ways asked for permission to take
Rose with him. This Stewart
never refused, but he told Beasley
10 stay in the Snake Hill reserva-
ton. This order Beasley disobeyed
Yesterday.
With the dog at his heels, Beas-
ley was seen by David Brown and
John Moore, employees, making
his way to the top of the hill.
What happened there can only be
conjectured, but it is supposed that
Beasley, attacked on the brink of
the reservoir, which is ten feet
deep and supplies the institutions
with water to fight fire, fell into
it. Rose plunged to the rescue and
Beasley, by instinct, clutehed the
dog around the throat. The

a As few people seem more or less
concerned because the real estate val
nations OF Marion county were dis
turoed and are disposed to cr1uclse
the Board Of Public Works for its ac-
ton The West Virginian has no such
criticism to offer. however, although
1t did object to what it considered an
eorerzealous agitation for forty per
cent Increase on all the coal values
in the county. Our coa1 values have
already been increased from four 10
ten times over the old assessment.
while farm values have been just about
doubled throughout the commissioning
assessor: in 1909, when the real eS-
tateS;iSs to be assessed again. double
the valuation of coal, the increase ov-
ersthe old assessment would run from
eight 10 twenty times AS it now
stands, taking the figures for the
whole state into consideration. Mar

tiveSto State taxes, than If the Board
of Public Works had taken no action
The increase in valuation over the

per cent. while Marion county's IN

There is at least one time in the
year in Fairmont when a person feels
the lack of omnipresence or at least
the ability to be in half dozen
or so places at the same time. and
that is on Easter Sunday The ser
vices at all the churches are special:
good music. fine sermons. beautiful
flowers. artistic decorations. every
thing to make the day one OF joy and
genuine pleasure. Yesterday was no
exception. A reading Of the pro-
Sramme of exercises as published Sat
urday shows what was in store for the
public at each of the churches and
thronGs of people wendell their way
to the various places of worship in
the different parts of the city Each
Easter season seems to see an i'm
provement over the last and each oc-
casion the most enjoyable the church
eS have ever offered The true spirit
Of worship is never omitted which
adds an understandable charm to the
observance of-the joyous Easter tide.

corning sanitation and cleanliness

/ The streets of our little city
must be kept clean. and to do this a
great deal Of the city's money is ex-
pended: but however diligently our

the residents will refrain from throw
ing rubbish, etc. upon the streets.
. All premises must be put and
kept in clean and good sanitary con-
dition. It has been the duty OF. the

quired to connect herewith sanitary
closets and no outside or garden

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.

q Some farmers seem to have mis-
in regard to that part
of the assessors blanks which is
headed t.AricuItural Statistics. The
law requiring the assessor to gather
these data was passed in 1901 and is
for the purpose Of showing the aGC-
cultural resources of the State and
not for the purpose Of taxation. as er-
roneouSly supposed. The enemies OF
tax reform have been pointing out this
FORM to the farmers in order to pref
sndicesthem against the new laws. Yer
sily the resources of Satan are nuner-

icipIes almost past finding out. but one

The railroad company this year has
been hivinS difficulty in getting cross
ties Advertisements for them have
been posted from time to time az the
different points along the line where
the people are in timbered land. Yer
these calls for ties have not Suppileo
the demand of the railroads
There are two reasons for the short
age. One Is that there is an unuSuat
demand on account of the many new
railroads which have been but
throughout the country The Other,
cause of the shortage is that the trees
which are suitable for ties have al
ready been made into them
On account of this shortage the
company which examines the ties be-
ofre purchasing is not so particular as
it once was. Ties that were once
placed by the inspector in the third
class. are now placed readily In the
first grade. Better prices for ties are
now paid than were few years ago
