APPoINTM ENT.

The appointment of Frank Kolash to the position of postmaster at Nome is amongst the very few which have been cmmently satisfactory to the people.
 He is an official who has received the honor strictly on his merits. As act ing postmaster he has left nothing to be desired the people asked for him, and for once the people got what they wanted from Washington.
 The success of Mir. Kolash is due principally to the fact that he has conducted the work of the office as a successful business requires.
 His attention to details. his desire to please the public in all things and his unfailing courtesy have led the citizens to hope that he will remain in the of fee until his merits elevate him to something still more worthy of them.

AMUSE M ENTS.

For it's size Nome is supplied prob ably with greater means for amusing it's population than any other city out side of ones whose raison d'etre is amusement alone.
 Social organizations have become so plentiful that he who does not belong to three or four is isolated, indeed Games and athletics of all kinds suit able give excitement to the juvenile ambitions Men who never skated be- fore have strapped on the irons and taken their medicine with smile, while those who have raised large fam lilies and whosc children have raised large families have had to wait until they came t0 Nome to realize the utter futility of life to the man or woman who does not dance. often one of the last named decorates the wall of the dancing hall and rails at the fate that deprived him of the best part of his education. until at last desperation drives him to the floor and his unfort- unate partners to bed. Some people like dancing for exercise; others say il is a pleasure, while the ones who at tempt SD late in life soon come to re- gard it as sour grapes.

PROGRAMS FOR GAMES.

The official program. for the baseball and basketball games for Nome are all but ready. and the firm of Bell X Co. is to be congratulated on the splendid work done.
 "ZaZ" has performed the artistic work necessary. and when that much is told nothing is left to be said. Spaces have been left in the covers for photo- graphs of the players and for the mem- bcrs of the A. F, team travelling in the States and this in itself will form a feature which is unique in the annals of Nome sport
 As an advertising medium the pro- gram will be first class. When finished no better souvenirs of a Nome athletic season could possibly be conceived.

BEDDING, Cal, Oct. 31.-A rams horn that was imbedded in a tree 1S3 years ago is the curiosity that Jason Elder. forester ranger living at pcrior, Supervisor Ingram( at Lake view. While rambling in the woods in lsSs Elder cape across yellow pine tree, in the base of which was imbed- ded the horn of a mountain sheep. He did not then have time to make q thorough investigation, but since be- coming forest ranger he had occasion to go to the vicinity and cut down the tree He took section of the trunk containing the horn to Lakeview
 The horn was a little to one side of the center of the tree, and ran in q circular direction. It was not cured, as are the horns of mountain sheep at this day. but was almost straight. Counting the rings of growth, the tree was shown to be 213 years old. out side of the horn were lS3 rings. indi- eating the number of years that had elapsed since the mou'I ain sheep was caught and held fast by the yellow pine The horn was soaked with pitch. It is ten inches in diameter at the base, and protruded from the tree about six inches. The length of the horn is thirty inches.

ANYTHING TO lNJURE ROOSEVELT.

The violent hysterict of certain New York newhpapers brought on by the forthcoming transfer of the battleshir fleet to Pacific waters continue with ever increasing extravagance. Thus we find in the New York Sun of recent date this extraordinary editorial state ment:
 He CPresident RoosevelO needs it because it means that this country shall go to war. We'll go to war we doubtless shall, and as cheerfuly and enthusiastically as heart of man could wish but the people want to know first what the caucus belli is which lies be- tween this country and Japan. They want to know whether, if any eixst, il is not appropriately referable to The Hague conference, if indeed it is not such as may be dealt with adequately by the simple exercise of common sense"
 It seems as if the force of Rooose- veltphobia could no further go. The policy of the Sun is anything to in- jure Roosevelt, no matter how extra vagant II is little short of criminal to charge the president of the United States with deliberately seeking to pro- vdke wtr Represents Roosevtt to t1e country'as a man of devilish ana male volent purpose and puts him in the class with Benedict Arnold.
 When the battleship cruise was first mootcd the New York papers saw in the deep. dark politics of Machiavelli Roosevelt who planned thereby to gain control of the California delegation to the national convention next year When it was pointed out that this was making hard labor to convert the con- Verted and that nobody could take away from Roosevelt the California delegation if he wanted it. then the New York papers had to invent some here only as proof of to what lengths certain influences ,n the Est will gc in ther frenzy to injutc Roosevelt. There is no means or variety of slan- . der tha is not we .-I'r tn :h;s crowd
 In a way all this is amusing. It is ridiculous to see men like Hartman

PRINTER KILLED.
Worked In Kingwood on Leader ONLY
Few Weeks Ago.

The body of II. w. Miller, a
printer, was found along the Bali
more aud Ohio tracks at Hedges
vile, few miles west of Martins
burg, last Thursday. The Baltimore
and Ohio superintendent Office a,
Cumberland was notified that the
body was taken to Mar,insburg to
await disposition. Miller, it is
thought was struck by a train. He
was employed for a brief period q,
the printing plant OF Charles Z.
Hambright, in Cumberland.
Miller's body was identified by a
travelling card of the Typographical
Union, No. s44, Cumberland. He
was about aS years of age. He had
been working in Ohio. His home
was in Front Royal, Va, and 1t wa,
supposed he was bound for tina
place when he met his death.
Miller dropped into Kingwoot
about six weeks ago and visited TIL
ARGUS in quest of work. He wa
directed to the Leader, where h.
was put to work and remained sew
eral weeks. The attractions of tn
town were not ent;cing enough t,
keep him and he took his departur
as abruptly as he came. We ar
truly sorry to hear of his untlmel
death.

The Associated Press reports
from Washington say Speaker
Cannon is having his troubles
with the West Virginia congress
ional delegation. Three of the
Observation-Disclosures, Hughes, aud
NORTHUMBERLAND a place OH the
rivers and harbors committee; Joe
Gaines wants on the ways and
means committee, and Sturgiss
will be satisfied with place on
the agriculture and postoffices
committee. The Second district
representative will find the post
office committee quite warm when
the faithful begin to press their
claims for q small allotment of the
pie. From present information
Congressman Sturgiss is in uncom-
fortably warm water just now, not
being able to decide who is entitled
to the job of lick and stick.
Congressman Harry woodward
is said to have told Uncle Joe Can
non that unless he gets on the
rivers and harbors committee Bro.
Presley Morris, of the State Jour
nal, will trim him for the nomin-
alton. We suppose the reason
Harry wants or the rivers and
harbors committee is because some
jester has told him Uncle Presley
can't paddle canoe. If it is going
to be a canoe race between Con
gresham woodward and Bro. Nor
ris, We will stake every penny we
can rake up and borrow that the
Morris canoe will go through the
rapids ten leagues in advance.
Those who knew him in his boy
hood days say that Uncle Presley
was an expert in making RATS and
placing them in the streams after
a shower ofrain. If Harry is GO
ing to beat Bro. Morris he had
better abandon the canoe trick.
THE ARGUS hopes to see Bro. Nor
ris win, whether it is a canoe or
foot race. He deserves it.

Why This Increase.

THE ARGUS would call the at
tention of the taxpayers of King.
wood district to the increase in the
railroad tax from 3 cents in 1906
to 10 cents in 1907. As is well
known, this district voted S25, 900
toward building the narrow-gauge
railroad from Tunnelton to King
wood. The district bonded itself
for that amount. The redemption
of the bonds began in 1889, and
TO those who are not considered
Napoleons Of finance it appears
that the rate Of taxation should
grow less each year as the bonds
are redeemed. One would nat
urally suppose that as the princi-
pal and interest were reduced the
tax would be less.
Would it not be well for the
county court to onlighten the tax
payers as to the reason for the in
crease for 1902 II may be that
1t is due to the wonderful opera
tons Of thc new tax law which
prohibited the county court from
leyying beyond o certain per cent

The Grafton Sentinel is author
ity for the statement that. Senator
Elkins~ and Gov. Dawson haze
dropped Charles w. Swisher and
taken up Elliott Northcott as the
'mschine candidate for governor.
The report has it that when Elkins
and Dawson broke the news to
Swisher he let loose his choice vo-
cabulary of epiplexis and for the
next half hour those within the
sound of his voice knew that the
dignifed federal and state office
holders were not conducting a
prayer meeting.
After Charley got through with
the senator and governor, having
omitted the benediction, he turned
his attention to Northcottand must
have convinced Elliott he would
find the gubernatorial lawn grass
was thickly strewn with thistles
and thorns, as Northcott is said to
have told Elkins and Dawson his
health would not permit him to
make the gubernatorial race.
| 1t is now said that Elkins and
Dawson will be compelled to sup.
| port the Hon. Arnold G. Scherr
for governor or suffer defeat in the
nominating convention. This will
be retributive justice and will con-
firm what THE ARGUS has con-
tended all along, that when the
anti-machine Republicans got to-
gether and solicited their forces
they could troupce the life out Of
the statehouse machine.
Now is the time for the anti-ring
and anti-machine Republicans to
buckle on their armor and 90 after
the ring and machine. BY flop
ping from one candidate to an
other they have advertised their
weakness and acknowledged their
defeat.
The ARGUS will surely enjoy
the agony of the Preston County
Journal eating the Scherr crow.
1t has been doing its utmost for
some time past to discredit Mr..
Scherr with the Republicans of
Preston county because, to quote
the Wyoming County Mountain
eer, "Scherr has never been iden-
tilted with the Dawson gang"
THE ARGUS feels like congratu-
lating the insurgents upon the
great victory they have already
achieved over the office trust and
the statehouse machine.

No Prophet.

The Wheeling Intelligencer took
that jokelet in reference to the slate
for the state ticket as made up at
El&ins very much to heart and
proceeds to argue the case at some
length. The Journal believes there
are some men on that list who will
be the nominees of the party, but
far from all of them will be win
ners, and the Journal is no proph-
ct, either.-Journal.
Only so far as the names sug-
gested suit the Dawson machine.
Suppose the Journal particularize
and give us a few of the names OF
the winners who will adorn the
slate ticket. That there was a slate
discussed at Elkins during the
meeting of the state board of trade
and numerous promises made the
machine for certain favors and
appointments can't be gainsaid.
If the Journal thinks it is con-
cealing the deals made at Elkins
it is fooling no one. The joke will
be on those who promised to de-
liver certain goods to the machine
for a favor which was granted.
When the time comes the deals
and promises Will be exposed. Let
the Journal remember this.
