IMPORTANT DECISION
Railroad Assessment Sustained ny I'll e
CiFcuif Court

AT a special term of the Circuit Court
held here on Wednesday last Judge e.
Boyd Faulkner rendered his decision
in the appeal case in which the B. d
0. appealed from the sction Of the
Board of Public Works in the matter
of the assessment of their prop
erty in Berkeley county.
In remarks on the valuation of the
railroad in tina state, S79,OO0,0O the
court stated that the figures submitted
by the railroad showed that one-fourth
of the value Of the road lay in West
Virginia and that according To these
figures the value in the state would by
$l09, 100000 or thirty millions more
than the valuation set by the Board CT
Public Works and that therefore the
road was not entitled to the reduction
asked
The court went into the case in all
its phases and rendered an elaborate
decision which had evidently taken
great labor and much time. This was
about the last ofall the appeals made
by the railroad to the circuit courts,
which as the court stated was the court
OF last resort in these matters, to be
decided but is one of the most impor-
tant. La each case so far decided the
Board of Public Works has been sus-
tanned.
The valuation Of the B. e. O. in
Berkeley county is about one third of
the valuation Of all the property in the
county. The main line is assessed a t
S2,900,000, the Frog Hollow branch at
$35, 900 and the Cherry Run and Poto-
mac law grade line at $3.50, 900, a total
of $3.400,U00. We are informed that in
Hedgesville district the railroad will
pay about three-fourths of all the taxes.

Taft Exposes EIkins.

Secretary Taft admitted in his Co
lumbus speech that the Elkins law
was favored by the railroads because
it repealed the i'm prisonment clause OF
the interstate commerce law. It Is well
understood, said Mr.. Taft, the Elkins
bill was passed without opposition by,
and with the full consent of the rail-
roads, and that the chief reason for
this was the elimination of the peni-
tertiary penalty for unjust discrimi :
nations.
This is precisely what the Republi-
cans Of y est Virginia were told at the
tire; but their newspapers Dragged
about the great reform measure Sena-
tor Elkins had devised and the Re-
publican party sre-elected him to the
U. S. senate. Secretary Taft shows
what sort Of performer Elkins is.
Many w. Va. Republicans now join in
the hue snd cry of "down with the
railroads. and yet all the while their
party is responsible for the keeping in
the Senate one of the richest pluto
Gratis in the United States and one of
the shrewdest and moange roas
agents of incorporated monopoly.

New Union station.

Next Sunday, Oct. 8, has been SET as
the time when the B. & Q. train will
begin to use the handsome new
passenger station in Washington Tire
building has been in course ofconstruc-
ton for several years and is said TO be
one Of the finest, if not the finest in
the world. 1t has been built by the
Washington Terminal Company in
which the Pennsylvania and Baiti-
more and Ohio Railroads own the
stock The building is not entirely cem-
pleted but it becomes necessary TO tear
down the old B q o. station in or er
to carry out the full plans hence the
trains of that road will use the station
before those of other roads.

Business Change.

Messrs. G. G. Seibert and Harry l..
Marshall have purchased the hardware
store, stock and fixtures, of II. l.. Dell
e Co. They will continue the business
on an enlarged scale at the old location
southeast corner Of the Public Square,
in the McSherTy building formerly
known as King street hall This
business was started IN the same build
ing by Messrs. James and William
Riddle about 1866. They were 5ucceed
ell a few years ut I by Mr.. H. a. I'D
die, now General p ,ssenger Agent OF
the Cumberland Valley Railroad and
he was succeeded ny Rev. John :. Lee
fever fer d while aldshe by II l.. Doll
4 Co., who haze rpnducted the business
for more than twenty-five years. ~.
FL. L Doll was connected with
the store for thirty-seven years, for
about twelve years before he became
proprietor. The new proprietors are
both well-known young men OF this
section and very popular. Mr.. seibert
b. been in the hardware business for
probably twenty-five years and is sal
to be the best hardware man in the
valley of Virginia. For years he was
e nployed with the late w. w. Cru mp,
Liter was in the business at Charles

been with III. I. and Harry S. Cushwa

kearneysville and has been associated
with the Standard Lime Il Stone COM
pany and with a B. & O. engineering
corps.

On the subject of baseball for the fu-
ture the Berkeley Springs News, whose
editor is an enthusiastic supporter Ct
base ball makes the following pert
nent remarks:
The Journal says the franchise of the
Nartinsburg base ball association may
be sold. The directors have held a meet
inc and ways and means were talked
over to provide for the payment of
messing obligations. Part of the in
debtedness was contracted in 1906. and
it is certain the club failed to show
proGt on this seasons work. Two solu-
tons of the difficulty have been sug-
gested, one is to sell the stands, fences
and other equipment to some individ-
uaI, who may wish to conduct a elub
next year, the other is to sell out right
and wind up the affairs of the associa-
ton.
Wa would suggest another way out
Of the difficulty, and that is to form a
four or five club league for next year.
Limit salaries to be paid with heavy
penalty, if limit is exceeded. Arrange
schedule of games with each club
with a forfeit If schedule is not carried
out. We know not what Hagerstewn
paid, but Martlnsburg and Winchester
paid too much money for the glass of
ball played. Too many games were
played between Winchester, Mar tins
burg and Hagerstown. The public
grew tired Of seeing the same clubs
play all the time. aud in arranging a
schedule of three games week in any
one town would be ample. We do not
think the public would stand for more
games, and merchants would be more
willing to aid, for clerks would not be
called away so often. It's the young
who support ball. Under regulation
games in Martinsburg would bring in
as much money as did six this year,
and the limiting of salaries and reduc-
ton of eX penses would enable the as
ISOLATION to get on easy street.
