Special to The Herald.
SANTA ANA, July 23-James B.
Hayner and Emma j. Hill, both resi-
dents of Los Angeles, were married
here today by Justice of the Peace Ed
Smithwick. Hayner gave his age as 35
years, and so did the bride to be.
Although the marriage ceremony as
performed at the county court house
does not imperatively demand the ring
service, the groom produced a ring and
placed 1t on the brides finger, remark
ing as he did so that just sixteen years
ago he had done the same thing with
the same ring. Nothing further in the
way of personal history was vouchsafed
by either party to the marriage con-
tract
Since November 81 400 marriage Ii
censes have been issued by the county
clerk, the greater number Of applicants
hafling from Los Angeles.

BATHING MADE IMPOSSIBLE,
SEA BEING COATED WITH OIL
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, July ga thick
coat of crude oil covered the waters
of the bay today for at least mile
on either side of the pier. After IL
o'clock bathing in the surf was inn
possible, and at noon the bath house
company put up a rope fence to keep
its patrons from going into the ocean.
There is considerable conjecture as
to whence the oil came. Some think
it is from the bilge of some oil steamer
on the high seas, while others ex-
pressed the opinion that it fioated from
the wrecked Anubis on San Miguel
island.
A number of people who raced out
into the surf this morning as usual
and plunged under found themselves in
a distressing "mess," for the oil is most

The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1908-03-03

BY vote of 8 to 4. the State COM
mittee last night decided not to at
tempt to disturb the arrangements
made by the various counties for pri-
marles, county conventions. or district
delegate conventions. While the case
from Kanawha was the only one for
up for consideration. It is said the
committee felt that It would have con-
tests Of similar nature from various
other counties If action was taken to
disturb the plans of the county COM
mittee in Kanawha, consequently, the
committee voted to let the counties go
ahead to suit their own notion in the
matter Of selecting delegates. 1t seems
pity that feeling gets so high be-
tween the candidates and their friends
in the different counties and 1T is to
be hoped that the other counties will
not go to such lengths as the factions
have in Kanawha.

SANITATION IN CUBA.

Cuba must do everything necessary
to make her cities sanitary. This Is
the decision OF the President, Score
tarv Root and Secretary Taft. The Is
sue grew out Of a contract for sewer
ing and paving the city of Havana
which the Cubans wish to repudiate
because OF the expense. but the admin
istration in Washington has decided
that the terms Of the contract must be
carried out. For time there Will
doubtless be much muttering and dis
content in Cuba, particularly In Ha-
vana, but we venture the prediction
that no one Will be more grateful to
the administration, once the work Is
done, than the people who will com
plain most loudly now. The history of
American occupation of foreign lands
has been history of cleanliness.
Americans have cleaned Manila and
made it a healthful, beautiful city, and
the protests OF the people have turned
to praise. Americans have changed
the Panama Canal Zone and the chief
cities OF Panama from pest-holes to
healthful, Clearly cities and Panama
lis reaping n rich reward. The abso-
lutte sanitation of Cuba will make for
the wealth and prosperity OF the Re-
public. and the money SO expended
will be returned ten-fold.

One Of the neat tricks Of newspaper
correspondents: no matter what their
calling or lack of vocation in life, is
to palm OF their letters from some
rural district and sign it Farmer" The
chances are the fellow who runs poor
ly written stun under such name Is
not a farmer. frequently he is dis
gruntled Republican and in nearly
every case he is at least an "unde-
sirable citizen" to use the language
of our great and good President. Many
sins are covered up under the name of
some very worthy calling by scala
wag whom the farmers wouldn't let
sleep with their shoats lest he con-
taminate them.

Editor West Virginian:
Please allow me space in your pa

Marion county, to be voted for at the
coming fall election and when I do so
[ want It understood that I have not
one word to say against any other can
didate. have known Mr.. Amos ever
since he was born. He was a good
boy in his boyhood apd since he has
grown to manhood he has been gen.
tleman and is to-day. Those who know
him need not be told anything about
him. But want to say to my Repub-
lican friends of Marion county who
are not acquainted with Mr.. Amos
that he is an everyday, honorable, So
cial and upright gentleman. He is a
straightout Republican. He Is well
qualified to perform every duty OF the
office. He is business man. he is
honest, he is capable. he will make a
strong candidate, one that can come
as near carrying the full Republican
party vote as any man in Marion coun-
ty. The Republican. party doesn't
want to make any mistake in nomina'
tons. 1t is in the primaries and con-
ventions. Sometimes that mistakes
are made and the weakest man is nom
mated. Then defeat follows at the
general election. l hope to see Mr.,
Amos nominated and elected. so let
us nominate him. then We can count
on his election sure and Republican
sheriff OF Marion county. Yours,

Candidates are coming into the field
pretty rapidly now and some very ex-
cellent men are among the number.
To-day Mr.. II. f. Moran places his
name before the people for the nomi-
nation for prosecuting attorney and 1t
is not saying anything against any
other candidate to say that no more
worthy man will be in the race than
is Mr.. Moran. He is as straight as a
string politically, has raised large
family Of children, fulfilling his duty
as a good citizen and one in full ac-
cord with President Roosevelt's poll
cies in that regard, he is successful
MS a lawyer and would make an official
whom any citizen Of the county could
approach with perfect freedom and
realize that his case would be heard.
Mr., Moran was born in Winfield dis
trict and now lives in Union and 1t is
expected he will have a strong vote
in both districts. He is graduate of
the law department of the University
and has been practicing law for four
years. When the votes are counted,
lit is certain that Mr.. Moran's name
will be high on the list of leaders in
the race.

\ aALr EoR LME STOCK.

The requirement that all cattle
] horses and sheep grazing under permit
ON the National forests be. given salt
ut frequent intervals is regulation
which has been found to go long
way in protecting the range and con
serving the forage crop. Experience
has shown that the want of salt makes
4 stock restless. II cattle and horses
are not supplied as they need 1t. they
roam and wander, haunting old sailing
grounds used in previous seasons
trampling the forage plants instead OF
eating them, paving the ground, and
An other ways injuring the range. But
5if their cravings are supplied, they
scatter peacefully over the pasture
grounds and feed at their leisure.
salt is SO necessary to the easy and
profitable handling of sheep on the
range, that no flockmaster would think
Of getting along without it. II "heeT
do not receive their usual supply 1t Is
only with great difficulty that they
y can be held In bonds or kept III CAM
at night. so far as sheep are concern
ed, no regulation by law is really nee
essary, because the owners. for thetl
own convenience, will salt their flocks
But cattle are not herded, and the own

Stock on different ranges require
varying. quantities Of salt. Sheep need

average quantity for 1000 head OF
sheep would be from 1000 to 1,5O(

II cattle, from 5000 to 10000 pounds
