Success.

the West Virginia exhibits at the
jamestown exposition, has written to
Mr.. Alex. Clohan saying that fruit is
coming la very slowly. Mr. Clohan
urges that all fruit growers in the
county send him at least one box Of
apples. The boxes, tags and instrrc-
tons can be secured by calling at Mr..
Clohans residence, No. 209 South

put their names on the boxes, so that
they will get credit for it, and wrap
each apple in newspaper.
The fruit will have a fine display
at the exposition. Mr.. Clohan again
urged that all fruit growers cooper
ate to help Mr.. and Mrs. Moore make
this show a grand success, and one
that will do credit to the county.

PLENTY OF COAL.
COAL EXPERT SAYS THERE ls
PLENTY IN WEST VIRGINIA.
Neil Robinson Says Development in
This State Is Now In Its
Infancy.

Neil Robinson of Charleston, coal
expert, at the New Willard in Wash
ington, said that he did not think the
American people need worry over the
recent prophecy that the supply Of coal
in this country would be exhausted
within the next hundred years or So
1T is perhaps little early to make
any guess as to how long our present
coal supply will last" said Mr.. Robin
SON There are, doubtless, areas OF
coal land in this countr-r that have
not yet been developed, aad even IL
the coal supply is approaching its end,
new ways OF making and conserving
heat will be discovered. Marvellous
as has been the development of the
coal lands of West Virginia, it is not
too much to say that this development
is still in its infancy. West Virginia
today stands second in the coal pro-
ducing states. Pennsylvania, of course,
is first, and Illinois for time ranked
second, but the development of the
coal lands in my state in recent years
has put her next to Pennsylvania. And.
as I have said the production of West
Virginia coal is only starting. No
state in all the Union has a more
brilliant future before it than West
Virginia"
Mr.. Robinson spoke modestly of the
coal monument at the jamestown ex-
position, of which he was the Original
tor and architect. The monument is
1870 feet high and Is feet wide at the
base. 1t displays sixteen varieties of
good commercial coal mined in West
Virginia, arranged according to the
different geological formations. 1t is
one of the striking features of the
exposition and attracts the attention
of all visitors on account the unique
character of the exhibit

Striking Illustration.

A striking illustration of the min
uteness and detail of the various rec
ords ia the different state departments
is illustrated in the matter of the as
sessment of public utilities.
The reports made by the different
companies are first tabulated and ar
ranged by the state tax commissioner
and then laid before the board of
public works for action. After the
property is assessed by the board 1t
is then handled through the secretary
of states office, who is ex-officio Sec
rotary of the board of public works.
1t is his duty to work up the re-
turns, prove the results, etc, and then
certify these valuations to the auditor,
keeping a record of the certification,
the notification of the companies, of
which over three hundred were as
sessed this year; each notification
must be typewriter, copy must be
made and the date, and time deposit
ed in the postoffice be marked on car
| bon copy of the notification.
To get an adequate idea of the enor
nous amount Of work required to get
this assessment completed. Carl Prid
dy. clerk in the secretary of states
office, who has been working on this
since May /. has just completed prac
tically all except a few minor details
