NEW MAN WON FIRST PRIZE
HAD THE BEST YORKS. AT THE
STATE FRUIT MEETING.
Series of Meetings at Weston This
Week Proved Very Successful
What Mr.. Clohan Says.

All the members of the party of
Berkeley county fruit growers who
attended the annual meeting of the
West Virginia State Horticultu al
society, held at Weston Monday and
Tuesday, have returned to their homes
with the exception Of Mr.. Charles P.
Light, who remained for the meeting
OF the cattle raisers Wednesday ami
today
Postmaster Alex Clohan, of this
city, who was reelected president OF
the society, returned Wednesday
night, and when seen today by rep
resentative of this paper was enthusi-
ascit over the success of the meeting
of the fruit men. Mr. Clohan said:
The meeting was attended by
larger number of important fruit
growers than any in many years, and
the addresses were all of the most in
| teresting character. The theme of
every one seemed to be in the direc-
ton of more attention to the quality
of the fruit, rather than to the guam
tity, and it is confidently predicted
that great awakening along this
line will be seen during the next few
years.
"The big prize, that for York I'M
perials, was carried off by David Ar
mold, of Mineral county, practically
new territory Berkeley county had
some fine Yorks on display, but the
judges believed the Mineral county
fruit superior. There were 20 COM
petitors in this Class alone.
THE meetings of the sheep raisers.
the dairymen and the cattle raisers
were all well attended, many promi-
nent men in each of these lines of in
dustry being present from all sec
tons of the state These meetings
were unusually successful"

treatment. IL is therefore the last condi-
tion which must be considered here.

case OF burn Is to dust -four over IL, or to
cover it with oil, and. indeed, even In
some comparatively late text books on

The use Of such applications cannot be

that ordinary pumping would be useless,

ground through which the shafts were
sunk. Twensy-eight holes were bored
round the shafts to depth OF four hun
dred and eighty-four feet, and In . circle
thirty feet in diameter. Saline freezing
mixture Was introduced irto the bore
holes by means Of tubes, and all the
sub,erranean water was frozen solid. The
loose sand below tire limestone became
like rock and had to be blasted. The
Temperature OF the frozen sand ct the
bottom Of the pit was minus fourteen de-

plisbed by circulating warm brine
