HON. II. G. DAVIS
MAKES ADDRESS
WELL KNOWN RAILROAD BUILD.
Err MAKES PLEA FOR THE
CORPORATIONS.

CI4ARKsBURG. w. Va, Nov. H.
Ex-senator Henry G. Davis. of ElkIns
was the principal speaker at last
nights session of the fourth annua
meeting of the West Virginia Board
OF Trade, He gave in detail the
progress Of the State along lines Of de
yeiopment and especially as to the
coal industry and suggested certain
Legislation to further the objects Of
the State Board OF Trade among which
was that the State itself make annual
appropriations 10 carry on the work Of
the board.
Mr.. Davis insisted that the agrlcul
turaI interests of the State should
give more care and attention to raising
market supplies as the State does not
feed Itself. He asked that the board
do all in 1t Spower to counteract the
unfriendly feeling, or as he termed IT,
h2stility that has sprung up with the
people and State and federal officials
toward corporations, that there may
be a clear understanding Of the dff.
ference between corporations anil
trusts. He expressed the opinion that
the State should have certain author.
ity over the corporations it creates.
but the less restrictions and regula.
tions it requires of them the better TO-
the public interests.
Resolution Offered.
Ex-senator Davis offered the follow.
ing resolution at the close of his ad.
dress and Il was referred 70 the proper
committee TO be returned At today's
session:
Resolved, BY the State Board Of
Trade of West Virginia, at Its annual
session of 1908, that it invites and will
welcome capital and enterprfsng men
into the State to aid in the develop,
ment of its vast mineral and other re.
sources and that the board will use
its best endeavors to encourage and
faster present and future enterprises
and to secure for them fair and lib.
eral treatment in State matters"
Or. I. G. White, State geotogist, gave

eral resources. A bill providing for

and profitable handling of sheep on the range, that no hoIkmaster would think of getting along without it. If sheep do not receive their usual supply it is only with great difficulty that the can be held in bonds or kept in camp at night.
 So far as sheep are concerned. no regulation by law is really neces- sary, because the owners, for their own convenience. will salt their flocks. But cattle are not herded, and the owners might neglect to salt them, if the regulations were not strictly enforced.
 Stock on different ranges require varying quantities of salt. Sheep need less on dry range than on green. An average quantity for .000 head of sheep would be from 1000 to l,500 pounds each year.
 For a like number of cattle. from 5000 to 10000 pounds year is required. Horses need less than cattle.
 Old hunters, in the days of the  pioneers. knew that deer and buffa- To travelled long distances to lick salt in saline springs. The Blue Licks on Licking River. in Ken lucky, and a similar mineral spr- ing on Elk River. in West Virginia were famous for the h 'rds of deer, buffalo and elk which frequented them The adjacent ground was so deeply tramped that the marks were to be seen many years after the places ceased to be visited by these animals.

National Forests Requirements

The requirement that all cattle. horses and sheep grazing under permit on the National Forests be given salt at frequent intervals is a regulation which has been found to go long way in protecting the range and conserving the forage crop.
 Experience has shown that the want of salt makes stock restless. If cattle and horses are not suppli- ed as they need it, they roam and wander. haunting old salting grounds used in previous seasons, trampling the forage plants instead or eating them, paving the ground, and in other ways iniuring the range. But if their cravings are supplied, they scatter peacefully over the pasture grounds and feed at their leisure.
 Salt is 30 necessary to the easy

Spend Large Sum

"A careful. conservative estimate of the amount of money left in Phoenix each yetar by the sheepmen of the territory would place the sum between Sl25.O and $175, GOO, " said Isaac Earth. a prominent Apache county sheepman, who has some l5,000 head of sheep at the new Queens Creek camp. to a Gag cite reporter today.
 The sum of money mentioned by Mr. Earth is big one, but it is rue beyond a doubt that the sheep men of the territory who congre- gate in this city annually spend considerably over Sl00,00O. Part of this money is spent for the shear ing of their sheep. all of which comes into this city, while the balance of it is spent by the sheep men themselves. most by of whom keep their families here during shearing season. A good majority of the sheepmen are wealthy and all of them are spenders of the firstwater, The minute they arrive in town there is something doing. and it keeps up until they leave for their homes in different parts of the territory.
 The Queen Creek camp, which is located twenty miles east of Mesa is a new one. the owner of the shearing plant being J. s. Bowen, well known in this city. MT. Earth stated this morning that Mir. Bowen had informed him that he would shear about 240.O0O sheep at the new camp this year.
 It was about twelve years ago that the sheepmen of Arizona be gan gathering their animals here inthe winter for shearing At first there were only a few hundred, but year after year the number in- creased. until now it is estimated that there are between 800, ,000 and 700, GOO sheep gathered each year in this valley. This brings in a wonderful amount of money for the Phoenix people and merchants, who apparently have not awakened to the full realization of what the gathering of sheepmen in Phoenix each year means to the city and county.
 Local people in speaking of the advantages of this city are prone to dwell upon the amount of money brought here each year by tourists. but you very seldom hear of a sheepman bieng mentioned, yet it is safe to say that the sheepmen who come here each winter. a mere handful in all. spend half again as much money while here as all the tourists put together.

Ten Years to Count Stars.

From the Denver News.
 The gigantic but fascinating task which J Franklin-Adams F. R. A. S., a distin guished scientist of London, has under- taken of counting the myriad stars in the heavens and assigning to each it's proper magnitude, is one which demands the quality of almost infinite patience. l. Franklin Adams has already secured photographic plates covering the whole of the southern hemisphere, and these, with the series dealing with the northern hem isphere, will number more than POO. Each plate, which is 15 inches square, records from 10000 to 250,000 starry images, and on a rough calculation the total number of stars photographed will prove to be about 23000,000
 The task of counting the stars on the plates has already been commenced. and that work, together with the eataloguing. will take anothere 10 years. The method of counting the stars on the plates was explained by R. J. Mitchell, MT Frank lin-Adams's chief assistant
 First taking one of the plates" said MT. Mitchell "move it across a graduated grating contained in the field of high powered microscope. horizontal strip in the grating is then examined, and the stars in this small area are counted from left to right. Of course, 1t Is impossible to insure absolute accuracy. for there is the possibility that a star may be counted twice or missed altogether.
 "Then there is the difficulty presented by mechanical specks on the plates, which may at first be taken for stars. MT. FranlSlin-Adams and his assistants check one another in the counting. but there IS always a slight difference in the totals. due, of course, to the personal equation as represented by the operator.
 Merely to count the stars on an aver age plate, apart from noting their photo graphic magnitude, couples the time of two men for more than a fortnight. if they work seven hours a day. In taking the plates Mir. Franklin-Adams used a triple achromatic ten-inch lens. In the northern hemisphere the minimum expos ure was two hours and twenty minutes. and in the southern hemisphere, with it's clearer atmosphere, two hours"
