"Getting to and from school in some
parts of this country isn't as easy as
it is in Washington. There is one
school teacher in Colorado who, on
stormy d4ys, makes trip through a
mountain, travelling nearly four mile
underground before she reaches her

The school which this teacher teaches
is on the top of mountain, near
Idaho Springs Colo. Idaho Springs, is

world, but around it on all sides are the
I Rocky Mountains and many wild
places.

scribes that wherever there are ten
children there must be some sort of
school. Up on top of this mountain is a

combed with mines. To tap these
mines there was driven what is known
as the Newhouse tunnel. 1t runs into

carries the ore and the miners working

READING UP IN FIGURES
charleston Mail.)

We have been reading some cleo
ton returns having a penchant for
statistics even in hot weather when
political strife is on about us. and hot
air statements so plentifully to be
had. We confess to a stimulation to
this research by rather fulsome fiat
terry OF Mr.. Scherr's running ability
in contradistinction to that possessed
by all other men in public life. Mr..
Scherr of course has had ample ex-
perience in political pedestrianism,
having run successfully twenty years
out OF the thirty-eight intervening
betYeen 1870 and 1908. We expect
ed more in the way of speed and en-
duranc from him than from others.
and find some disappointment in
looking back over the record of his
sprinting achievements.
Taking Mr.. Swisher as a candidate
for election as secretary of state in
1904 and comparing his figures with
those of Mr.. Scherr, we find that
the latter broke no records. not even
in his own home balliwick. 1t will
he recalled, too, that the year. the
ever an active enemy OF what the
people want IN their state govern
ment had marked Mr.. Swisher and
the dearly beloved Clark May (peace
to his soulD for slaughter. It
fought them at. the convention and at
the polls. Yet. in MIR. Schedr's own
county, OF Mineral, where the Balti-
more / Ohio Company has I'm
mense shops, employs hundreds Of
men and where 1t dominates public
affairs with high-handed impudence.
Swsher and Scherr received identi-
cally the same vote-vote for vote.
In Grant county. where three times
Scherr had served as sheriff, where
he was well known, Swisher received
14S votes more than Scherr. In
Scherr's congressional district, run
through and through by the great
railroad corporation that was using
its powerful agancies to crush Swish
or at the polls, Scherr received only
so more votes than Swisher. In the
entire state. with all this powerful
opposition, Swisher held his own,
and
But what's the use? Statistics are
universally accorded aridity in the
popular mind and we would not tire
it. But we fairly dote on figures.

Immediately after the parade ad-
dresses were made by Hon. F. o.
Sutton. OF Clarksburg. and A. T..

then dispersed for dinner, several
parties taking their lunch to tho
woods.
At 100 o'clock tho shinnston and
Lafayette bands gave a concert on
the street. after which the local lodge
of of Uniform Rank Knights of

A very interesting feature of the
program was n ladies' riding contest.
There were nine entries. Mrs. Tes-
sic Martin won first prize a bride;
and Mrs. Ernest Pigott, second, q
riding whip.
The prize on top the creased polo
was won by Leonard Martin.
Those taking prizes in the Gilt show
were A. A. shinn. first; and Law
renee Nay, second.
There were nine entries made for
the single driving horse contest and
1t was hard matter for the judges to
decide who should win. but they
finally gave o. l.. Lowe first prize,
and George Rifree. second.
The event that caused the most
amusement Of the day was the sack
race. Six tried for the prize. but
several fell. LOTUS Willis won Hrst.
and Walter MCGEE the second prize.
In the Shetland pony race Miss
Zjlla Short won the prize, which was
fine bride.
The lsst and most interesting fea-
ture Of the program was the riding
tournament. There was nine en-
tries and each one was allowed five
trips. When the score was counted
Harvey Ferguson had first prize. John
Lucas, second. and Moore Reynolds.
