present year. It is noticed that the
committee places the amount Of
general taxes to be collected at
$4,000. That does not represent
the amount that the law allows to be
collected The report of the assessor
is not yet in but 1t is safe to say the
total amount Of the assessment has
not decreased from last year, when
it was over eleven millions OF dol
lars. Say it is the same this year
by law taxes may be collected this
year for the general fund to the
amount OF at least $4,000, as the
lawful rate may be forty cents on the
hundred dollars valuation. This
amount is $4,000 more than the
committee reports and makes quite a
difference in the footings of the esti-
mates by the finance committee. IN
stead OF there being shortage Of
$4,000, as shown by the committees
report, there would be surplus of
from $1,000 to $4,000, which would
be available for paving Baltimore
street, the estimated cost of which
falls below the latter. And yet some
are heard to say that there is no way
to raise the amount OF money neces-
sary to pave that street.
Also in this connection $4,000
has been paid on the old debt. The
new law provides that a special levy
of ten cents on the hundred dollars
may be laid to be used exclusively in
paying on debts contracted prior to
May Is, this year. This special levy
would raise fully 81, 600, which on
sets the amount already paid and
possibly the spirit of the law would
allow this amount to be diverted to
the general fund, merely taking the
place of what has been taken from
that fund to discharge old debts. In
that event there would be between
$4,000 and $4,000 available this
year for street paving.
Figures do not lie and the problem
is quite easy. Any one can readily
see that there can be ample money
to pave Baltimore street this year,
provided the maximum levy is laid.

West Virginia Day.

According to the news dispatches
West Virginia Day at the jamestown
Ter-Centennial Exposition was aus
piciously and fittingly celebrated and
the progress Of the commonwealth
and the achievements of its people
were fully and appropriately set
forth.
Although the weather was a trifle
hot, the sun shone clear and thou
sands of people witnessed the cere-
monies, viewed the exhibits that gave
mute testimony to wonderful de-
velopment and heard from eminent
orators doubtless many interesting
facts concerning the western section
of what was once a part of old vir-
ginia and which was considered to
be too barren, worthless and unfit for
any use whatever.
Indeed, those West virginians who
attended must have felt thrill after
thrill of pride when the resources
and the achievements of the State
and its people were exploited to the
listening throngs for they had good
y
cause to feel theE.. They knew that
their state had, from an almost bar
rem wilderness and in comparative
~ small number of years grown to
be one of the leaders in the union of
states in many things.
They knew that their state had be-
come the first in the production of
oil, second in the output of coal, high
up in the list in the yield of fine
timber, besides taking important
rank in number of other things.
They knew that in these products
West virginia has reached the high
est rank in regard to quality. They
knew, too, that it took energy, en-
terprise, hustle, Industry, stamina
and brains on the part of their peo-
pie to bring about these things. And
it must have been real good to see
and hear these facts exploited to a
large gathering of people from not
only all of the other states and ter
ritories but from various nations and
climes. West Virginians at home
felt real proud over the affair them
selves when they read of its success
full outcome.
In view of the political and social
antagonism of the past which rended
West Virginia from the mother state,
and of the friendliness displayed on
the present occasion by the people of
both sections, divided yet united,
virglnians and West virginians alike
could well feel proud over the
splendid showing made by the young
er and newer commonwealth.
In face of all disappearing COM
ment that has been made against the
part that West Virginia is taking at
the jamestown exposition, and the
Telegram is glad to say there has
been little, it may be set forth that
the advertising that West Virginia
got on its commemoration day at the
exposition alone is we'll worth to the
State all of the money that was
spent for it.

Those two men who are serving
sentences Of ten days each in the
county jail for having made the first
violation in this county OF the new
statute prohibiting and penalfzing
the drinking of Intoxicating liquors
on railroad trains should be glad that
there are there rather than in a hos
pital suffering from injuries of a
train accident. at least. The prin-
cipal object of the new law is to pre-
vent such accidents that are made
possible by the effects of intoxicat-
ing liquors. In this respect the new
law is a good one as there is need
for such provision in this State and
it will doubtless be the means of saw
ing life and limb to a considerable
extent.

nina Glorions Fonrth.

Tomorrow is the glorious Fourth,
the birthday of this. great and grand
nation of liberty and independence.
While no prearranged celebration has
been prepared for in this city, the
day will of course be commemorated
in the usual patriotic ways, Young
America taking the principal role
with his Jackson eeaekefsf sky
rockets and other pYrotechnics.
The day Is the principal political
holiday OF the nation and chief OBJ
1ect of its appropriate 2 late observance is
the fostering of patriotism, a trait
that each citizen is naturally endow-
ed with to certain extent and which
should be encouraged and cultivated;
especially so should its meaning be
inclucated in the youth. Fourth
of July means much more than some
people ordinarily conceive. Some
take it day for rowdyism or a
legalized time for cutting up high
jinks, getting on sprees or misbehav-
ing generally without regard to the
established regulations providing for
the comfort and safety of citizens.
Such notions should BE empnat1cally
discouraged and the youngsters
should be taught that patriotism on
the Fourth of July. while it may be
expressed noisily in a proper cele-
bration, does not mean those things.
They should be taught that it is, in
the words of Noah Webster, "a
love of our country; the passion
which aims to save our country, eth
er in defending it from invasion or
protecting IT'S rights. and maintain
ing its laws and institutions in vigor
and purity; it is the characteristic
of a good citizen. the noblest passion
that animates man in the character
of a citizen"

Worst Rond in County.

While the county court is making
trips into the county to look after
the roads, It ought not to neglect to
go over the road from the city to
Northview, but the Telegram advises
the court to be very careful when it
does, else 1t may sink into oblivion.
for there are holes in that road fully
six feet deep. and once in pit so
deep the court would have to climb
some to get out. The court is a use
full body and the county does not
want it to go out of existence in such
a sudden manner. However, the
court can pick it's way over that
road and see for itself the terrible
situation. 1t is doubtless the worst
in the county. The court will confer
a great favor on a hustling commun-
ity hy having that road put in good

Alex Henderson ST. Dead.

Last Tuesday night Mir. Alex Henderson, father of Messrs. John and Alex. Hende, son, the mining men, died at Hermosillo, where he had been taken from Fl Orc, three days previous by his son to be treated for a slight attack of dysentery. He was given the best of care and medical treatment, but was too enfeebled by old age to rally.
 Mr. Alex. Henderson, Sr, was nearly Sl years of age and had been blind for almost twenty seven years. the result of terrible mine accident The grand old gentleman had been the victim of three mine disasters and had survived three,attacks of paraly- sis. He had attained the ripe old age owing to his sturdy Scotch constitu- tion and to the kind ministrations Of his two sons, John and Alex and their wives, who have surrounded him with loving care and attentions during his many years of helplessness.
 The death of this grand old lioneer miner. who in his day was considered one of the best in the great north western mining districts, will sadden the hearts of those who loved him dearly. In their hour of sorrow they have our heartfelt sympathy.

Board of Trade Meeting.

The regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Board of Trade was held at the Board rooms on Tuesday evening; eight members present.
 The Secretary's report for the week showed d number of personal letters written to parties in various parts of the country who had formerly made inquiries about this section; the object of the Board being to get into and keep in touch with such parties. A number of booklets were also reported distrib- uted.
 The special committee appointed on the matter of the Patagonia celebration, reported that they had corresponded with the Patagonia Committee relative to making ar engagements for bringing one or both of the Nogales ball teams to Patagonia on the Fourth. The committee had not yet received a reply, but understood unul1icially that Patagonia would furnish a team to meet the Nogales nine on that occasion.
 The Railroad Committee through the kindness of the Town Council, was able to present letter from Mir.

The Train Bulled.

Thursday night about l2:3O o'clock, five miles south of Carbo, the north bound Sonora passenger train G Gillette, conductor, and Charley Smith, engineer, was badly wrecked by bull getting in front of the engine. After running several carlengths, the en zine was hurled from the track great distance, the express and bag gage cars and the front wheels of the third-class coach, also leaving the track,
 It is said the cab of the engine was smashed into kindling wood, thus enabling Engineer Smith and his fire man to escape, but not before Mr. Smith was badly scalded on one arm and about the legs. If the cab had not been smashed, probably both men would have been held and burned to de ath, before they could have been rescued. The fireman received slight cut on the head. Not serious.
 Fortunately none of the passengers were hurt, and the friends of Engineer s nth are rejoicing over the fact that he will be about again in couple of weeks
 Certainly it was very lucky wreck, the only fatality being the bovine; his Bullship was cut into such small particles Identification will be inpos- sible in case the owner desires to col lect damages from the railway com pany. ---..
 The passengers were transferred to the southbound train which returne d north. arriving here about 3 o'clock the same afternoon. The southbouud were detained at Jarbo until in the evening, when the wreck was cleared.
