Scarcity of Lumber

Ia the twenty years from 1880 to
1900 the annual lumber cut of the
United States increased "a per cent,
but the increase in population was
only 81 per cent. In a single year,
from 1904 to 1905, the prices of the
lumber most in demand in this country
such as white and yellow pine, hem
lock and others, advanced nearly 100
per cent. Why was that? There is but
one answer-the growing scarcity of
of lumber. What will it be 20 years
from now? We are cutting away our
timber at an extravagant rate. At
present our consumption averages 400
feet, board measure, per capita. In
Europe the consumption per capita.
averages only 60 feet. In spite of this
alarming showing we are doing COM
paratively nothing to repair this alarm
ing waste. -Exchange.

Coal

There is enough coal in the state of
West Virginia alone to supply the
United States with fuel for the next
thousand years." says S. A. Moore, a
large coal operator of Philippi.
All this talk of alleged scientists that
the coal supply of the country would
become exhausted is absurd. 1t has
been proven that there is enough coal
in West Virginia, even at greatly in
creased rate of consumption, to last, as
L say, more than thousand years.
Coal experts have demonstrated to the
satisfaction Of every one who has in
investigated the matter that there are
1,000 square miles of coal land in Yves t
Virginia. There are $40 acres to each
square mile and every foot in height of
the coal veins. 1t is not very difficult
to figure out just how much coal the
state can furnish and how long it will
last at the present rate ofconsump tion.
Only recently the governor of West
Virginia appointed a coal expert to
make survey of the coal fields of the
state and to prepare an exhibit for the
jamestown Exposition. This expert
has chartered the lands and has found
that the average depth of the various
veins in the state is 153 feet, and the
exhibits at jamestown will be a COL
umn of coal taken from the different
veins.
Last year Pennsylvania produced
more coal than any other state in the
union, but this year West Virginia I'M
doubtedly will take the lead. The peo-
pie really do not appreciate the wealth
we have in West Virginia. Why there
is enough natural gas wasted every day
in West Virginia to heat the cities of
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing
ton. 1t is burned wastefully because
there is nothing else to be done with
it.

/ never tasted joy
Till the day my little boy
Came running upto meet me on the

Till l heard my baby greet me,
On this day he ran to meet me,
In way that made my weary heart

Till l heard his "hello, daddyr down

And though weary as couldbe,
When he scampered up to me,
There was comfort in the patter of

Social Club License

Morgantown w. Va May I'm his
charge to the MonoD gala county grand
jury yesterday Judge John w. Mason
interpreted the new law passed by the
recent Legislature governing social
clups where Intoxicating liquors are
dispensed. He devoted abaut 80 min
utes to readirg a written opinion evil
IDENTIFY prepared with great care, and
after a thorough study. Whether Judge
Mason is right or wrong, his opinion
practically settles the question for
MonoD gala and Marion counties, as
no club will be so .old as to take the
chance of the supreme court reversing
any1decision that he may make in a
case brought before him. The supreme
court seldom reverses any decision that
hemay make in a case brought before
him. The supreme court seldom re-
verses Judge Mason, and though the
| tax commissioner and number of
! lawyers do not agree with him. the
chances are. that his exposition of the
law is sound.
According2to The opinion of Judge
Mason, the new social club license law
as it is called, has the following effect:
1t places tax on members of social
clubs where liquor is dispensed,
Famounting to two dollars a year.
While.it raises additional revenue to
the state, it confers no additional priv
ileges on the social clubs or their mem
bers.
The new law does not license social
clubs to purchase wine, beer or whisky
in bulk and sellit to its members. Such
an act is violation of the law under
the new act just as it was under the
old.
Under the new law, member of
social club is required to pay two dol
lars year for the privilege ofdrinking
his own liquor at the club whereas
prior to the passage of the act, he was
privileged to drink his own liquor at
his club without paying the state any
hing for 1.-THE privilege.
Every member of a social club where
thelmembers keep intoxicating liquors
of any kind for their own use, is re-
| quired to pgy license tax of two dol
lars year. The liquor must be bought
and paid for ir the first place by the
individual, and cannot even then be
dispensed to him by the steMard at the
club unless he has paid his license tax
of two dollars.
The new law make the organization
of social club for the profit there is
in the liquors used by the mem bers i'm
practicable and impossible without a
violation of the law, and means that
all members of clubs where drinks of
intoxicating liquor are served must pay
two dollars to the sheriff the county,
or quit drinking at his club Briefly
! the whole effect of the law is summed
| up in the words of the court: at
! places special tax on the members Of
social clubs and raises new revenue for
the state without referring any new
privileges
Judge Mason was heard by practi-
cally all the members of the bar, the
members of the senior'law class of the
University, and an audience of inter
! ested citizensswhich filled the court
room. One lady was one of the most
attentive members of the audience.
