RESOURCES
OF This state Are Set Forth in a
Book That Has Just
Been Issued.

A pamphlet containing one hund-
red and sixty-three pages Of matter
has been issued by the West Virginia
board OF agriculture under the title
Of West Virginia Agricultural Re-
sources and Possibilities" 1t was
compiled by and under the direction
OF ]. B. carvin. secretary OF the
West Virginia State board OF agri-
cultured nd comprises the topo-
graphy. soils and crops, the live
stock industry, possibilities for the
fruit grower, educational advantages
and numerous other valuable infor-
nation to the West Virginia farmer.
In its Introduction It says:
I'VE receive many inquiries about
West Virginia, its agricultural pro-
auctions, climate, soils and the OPP
portunities for securing comfortable
homes among out hills, mountains
and valleys. To answer these by
letter is tedious task, especially, i:
an attempt be made to give informa-
ton desired by prospective investors
and home seekers. To answer these
inquiries more fully and satisfactor-
lily the following pages have been
prepared. 1t may also, In a meas.
ure, serve the purpose of showing
in a general way, that West Virginia
is rich in her agricultural product as
well as coal, oil, natural gas and
timber. This fact has not been so
fully advertised as has been the in
dustrial enterprises and mineral re.
sources of the State.
There are about 5,155,5S2 acres
of virgin land in West Virginia yet
to be brought under cultivation,
which is almost half of the total
acreage classed as farm land, or
about 80 per cent. of the total area
of the State. Our agricultural pro-
ductions could be largely Increased
and the product find ready market
in the rapidly growing centers of
population within the State.
THE valleys are becoming verIt-
able beehives of industry and the
teeming mass OF humanity must be
fed. At present the demand for
food supply is furnished, in meas
ure, from other states. and the proba-
bilities are that home production will
not supply the demand for years to
come. The development OF our nat
ural resources may be said to have
only begun. Millions in money are
still pouring into the State to be
used in the development of coal, oil,
natural gas and various construc-
tive enterprises. Railroads are pene-
trating almost every section of the
State, building of which constitutes
som eof the most gigantic enterprises
known TO modern engineering SKILL"

for the purpose of preventing the
creamery companies from entering in
to competition with local creamery in
terests in Chicago,
The Illinois Central, the Rock Island
and the Great Western were $50 in
timidated and coerced," said the com
plant, "that they joined the conspir-
acy."
The Burlington in its answer valves
all technicalities and sets about indict.
ing the creamery companies on broad
grounds, 1t charges that the cream
cry companies are associated for an
unlawful purpose and constitute mo-
nopoly which has been destructive to
the interests of all local creameries
and injurious to the public. It's fur
ther charged that the creamery com
panies are not entitled to be given the
terminal rates to Chicago which would
enable them to carry on at Chicago a
business which should more properly
be conducted in the vicinity of the
territory where the milk and cream
are produced.
The granting of these rates, the
Burlington declares would extend the
business of the creamery trust to all
parts of the country and to the de,ri-
ment of the small shippers.
The creamery companies allege in
their complaint that the Northwestern
st. Paul and Burlington roads monop-
olize and control as vendees all milk
within 200 miles of Chicago.

ernment. In South and North Dako'
ia, and especially the latter state, are
vast beds of Ignite coal, which coal
is equal iii power production, when
converted into producer gas, to the
high priced anthracite coal. The lig-
mite is ridiculously cheap. The cost
of transporting it in barges by river
from the mines TO Pierre would
amount to only rev cents per ton.
This cheap fuel means factories,
transportation, and employment for
thousands of men. This is Pierre's
opportunity, and the only opportun-
ity it has to become a great city.
This cheap fuel converted into pro.
ducer gas means a supply of light
and power for every town in the state
when converted into electricity. Elec-
trio light plants pay we'll in small
cities, Electricity could be furnished
to hundreds of small towns in the
state from single large plant; small
power users would discard present
forms of power production to use
electricity because it Is cheaper and
better; farmers in thickiy settled Sec
tions could be served with light and
power for small machinery at profit.
Some may regard this as an idle
dream, but it is practical just the
same. The next twenty-five years
will see in operation an immense pow
er plant at Pierre or some other con
venient point, or perhaps two or three
large plants at convenient points
along the Missouri, from which light,
heat and power will be distributed
over a vast area of the Northwest.
In that section will be great manu-
featuring cities because of the cheap
power. To-day the New England
states which do so much of our man
ufacturing are importing S50,0OO,00O
worth of coal annually, and by all, or
part, rail at that, and the cost of this
power is growing greater every year.
All that is necessary is to interest
capital in the enterprise sufficient to
start it on small scale. The indus
tries will come when guaranteed the
facilities.

on cream shipments from local points
to the central butter plants. Hereto
fore the railroads have aided these
central plants in their fight against
the local creameries. But the rail
roads are somewhat in the same po.
sition as the man who cared for the
snake egg and was later bitten by
the serpent
The railroads have asked A. H.
Wheaton, dairy and food commits
sioner, and his deputy l.. Griffin, to
be present at the hearing and offer
testimony in the matter, also the com
missioners from several other interest
ed states.
The complaint was filed by the
Beatrice Creamery company, and the
answer of the roads is sweeping
charge to the effect that the creamery
company and its subsidiary concerns
is trust. But the following Wash
ington dispatch gives good idea of
the matter and contains facts taken
from the records, which we print en-
tire as it is of local interest in this
section:
Washington, D. c., Aug. / Sensa-
tional charges that the Beatrice Cream
cry company, of Iowa, which claims
to be the largest manufacturer of but-
ter in the world; the Blue Valley
Creamery company, of Missouri, and
the Blue Valley creamery company, of
Iowa, are operating as a huge cream
cry trust, monopolizing this class of
business throughout half dozen states
of the middle west to the detriment of
the communities in which they oper-
ate, and to the hardship of the small
dealer, were filed with the interstate
commerce commission by the Chicago
Burlington a. Quincy Railroad COM
pany.
This railroad, with five others, was
named as defendant by the creamery
companies one month ago in a com
plant to the interstate commerce com
mission which alleged that it and sew
eral of the other roads had conspit1d
to deprive the creamery companies of
terminal rates on cream shipped to
Chicago.
The answer of the railroad is gen
eral plea of not guilty and sweep

panies are in q comination and con

spiracy in restraint of trade.
The magnitude of the fight can be
easily realized when it is stated that
the Beatrice company's gross receipts
in 1906 were Sl5,000000 and that it
produced 30,000,000 pounds of butter.
The Hanford company, of Sioux City,
a subsidiary Of the Blue Valley Cream
cry company, of Iowa, sold during the
same period 100000 pounds. The
three companies have been operating
extensively in Iowa, Nebraska, Mime
sofa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois,
Missouri, Kansas and Wyoming, with
chufning plants at the centers of the
great dairy districts and concentrating
plants along the lines of the principal
railroads as far west as Cheyenne, Wy
oming. 1t buys cream from the farm
ers and ships it to the concentration
points, and then to the churning
points, where it is made into butter.
In order to get d firm foothold in
the eastern market the companies tried
to establish churning plant in Chi
cago. Cream cannot be tranported
more than 300 miles and still be in
good condition for conversion into but
ter; hence the creamery companies in
duced the Illinois Central, the Chica-
go, Rock Island a. Pacific, and the
Chicago Great Western railroads to
put into effect a rate of 3S cents for
each ten gallon can for distance up
to 300 miles from Chicago. This tar
iff replaced the heavy distance tariffs
previously in effect on these roads,
under which the creamery companies
claimed they could not ship cream
proftably to Chicago for manufacture
They built their plant in Chicago, ex-
pecting these rates to remain fixed. In
their complaint filed one month ago
the creamery companies alleged that
the Chicago g. Northwestern, the Chi
cago Milwaukee d ST. Paul, and the
Chicago, Burlington a. Quincy agreed
to give the same rates but not only
failed to do so, but that they compell-
ed the railroads which had granted
the lower rate to abandon it by threat
ening rate war.
The creamery companies allege that
the railroad companies were interest
ed in the sending of cream to Chicago
and along the line near Chicago and
that they entered into this conspiracy

PIERRE'S OPPORTUNITY.

The people of Pierre are doing much
to boom and improve their town. They
are asking manufactures to locate
there, and are reciting all the advant-
ages possessed by the town, and some
it does not possess. But in the hum
BILE Judgment of this writer the peo-
pie of Pierre are silent on that matter
which will prove to be of the great
est value to that city, and to the
whole upper Missouri river country.
The great secret of Pierres future
growth does not lie in few artesian
wells, and few wells giving forth an
inferior quality and small quantity
of natural gas. Cheap fuel is the re-
quisite of great industrial center
and Pierre has it at its very door.
We refer to the producer gas system
and the excellent opportunity posses
sed by the Missouri towns to estab-
lish such plants. The value of lig-
mite coal for producer gas and the
cheapness of the power produced by
use of producer gas in internal COM
bustion engines mas been demonstrate
ed by experiments by the y, s. gov

SENATOR FORAKER, of Ohio, is still

Such a declaration by a man like
Foraker is amusing. When Foraker
