GAS WILL Be TURNED
ON AUGUST FIRST
Work Of Installing Mains in Oakland
Completed Last Saturday Afternoon.

Last Saturday at three minutes before
six O. clock the work of installing the
gas mains under the streets of Oakland
was completed by the small army of men
which has been engaged in that capacity
during the past several weeks and on
Monday the majority of them went to
I Terra Alta, where the installation of
mains was begun under the supervision
of Mr.. J. 3. Cheuyront, the local super
/ intendent.
BY Saturday or possibly tomorrow
afternoon connection will be made at
the outskirts Of Oakland with the trunk
hne which is nearing completion from
the West Virginia border near German
and on Saturday night of next week
public exhibition of the possibilities of
natural gas as an illuminant will be
made a point yet to be selected by
the gas company's officials, but some
where within the limits of the town.
| For this purpose a standpipe of large
dimensions will be connected with the
main and the gas turned on and lighted.
| The probabilities are that the flame
which will leap from the open end of
the pipe which is to extend into the air
at an elevation of thirty or forty feet
above the street level, may be seen for
miles around, so ali eyes to witness the
sight should be directed toward Oakland
that evening. The hour will be eight
thirty O'Clock when the gas is to be
lighted and it will be kept burning for
thirty minutes, probably longer.
For this occasion the gas company's
uperntendent, Mr.. Cheuvront, is hav-
ing thousand invitations printed at
this Office which will be mailed to the
people generally in the county and the
nearby towns, so that if all avail them
selves of the opportunity and come to
Oakland that evening a fairly good siz-
ed crowd will be present.
Following the exhibition gas will be
turned into the homes and business
houses Of consumers Sunday, August
lst.

THEIR EL0PEMENT Fooled
hful Lovers Journey to Oakland
Sily To Meet With Disappointment.

Last Wednesday Bert SNYDER and
Miss Martha DOnley crossed the Monon-
gehela River at Morgantown Just as
the day was breaking, leaving behind
them at Mount Morris their homes and
set their faces joyously in the direction
of Oakland, the Gretna Green of lovers
on matrimony bent throughout the sec
ton of Morgantown, but the days ex-
perience was full of disappointment,
and before reaching the homes they had
left so blithely and gay the day preced-
ceding they were convinced that if all
the cold, cruel world loves a lover, the
said world has a poor way of showing
it sometimes.
We shall let the Morgantown Domin-
ion of Thursday tell the remainder of the
tale in the following paragraphs:
The young lady is barely passed the
middle teens, and her worshipperis per
haps a little older, but he scarcely looks
it. In spite of youthfulness, the young
people. convinced that they know where
happiness lies, slipped away from their
homes yesterday morning early, drove
to MOrgantoWn, and boarded the early
train over the NJ. & K. for Rowlesburg,
where they caught 3. & 0 passenger
for Oakland. Meantime, their absence
had created a stir in the Mount Morris
home, and the telegraph and telephone
lines had been busy. When the youth
full runaways reached the Maryland
town, they found information as to
their ages in advance of them, and the
coveted marriage license was refused.
The officers were kind, but firm, and in
sisted that the young folks must remain
there until the young ladys brother or
her guardian appeared. However. upon
the promise that they would go right
straight home, without pause, and
without turning to the right or the left,
the mayor allowed them to board a
train for RowIesburg They caught
the M. & K. tram due here at 500 and
came to Morgantown. After a supper
which was eaten in silence, a team and
driver was secured, and the drive home
ward begun. On the way, the run
Always were met by the young Iady's
brother, who acted as personal escort
during part of the return journey.
Local officers were asked to assist
uSstopping the proposed wedding but
their services were not necessary, as
the ceremony had been abandoned for
good when the difficulty at Oakland was
encountered "

TIE MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK
0RATORICAL CONTEST
Garrett CONTAINS Should Take More
Interest in the Natter.

new form of entertainment at
Mountain Lake Park has been annOun-
ced for August End. which should es-
peclaiiy interest every college student
OF Garrett county. 1t is an oratoricaI
contest in which only college students
are allowed to participate. A beauti-
fui gold medal, costing S25 will be
awarded to the best orator of the even
ing. The contest is open to students
Of any state, and already six men and
one woman have signifed their willing
ness to enter. 1t Is noticeable. how
ever, that only one is from Garrett
county, Mr.. c. Edward Bender, of
GrantSville. One would naturally SUP
pose that the greatest number would be
from this county. Students are coming
from MoUndsviIle, Buckhannon. and
other distant places at considerable ex-
pense, and feel that the opportunity of
entering such a contest fully justities
them. Men and women of this county
have the same advantage virtually
without any expense. Garrett is grad
ually raising the standard of her public
schools, and increasing the interest in
higher education. Boys and girls leave
the county each year for college train
ing, and many of them return toiteach
in the public and high schools. The
contest at Mountain Lake should
show where these students are aand
what they are worth. Not only should
a number enter the contest, but every
college student of the county should be
present to cheer .for their collegesIand
universities, and to show that oldjGar-
rett is not lacking in genuine college
spirit. Those who wish to enter the
contest must send before July 3lst
their name and titles, with copy, of
their grafton, to DR.. w. w. Davis,
Mountain Lake Park, Nd. Dr.I Victor
E. Albright, who is spending the Sum-
mer at the Park, has consented to give,
at nominal rate one or more private
rehearsals to those contestants who de-
sire few suggestions and directions on
the composition and delivery of ltheir
orations.

Additional Road Equipment.

Tuesday MIR. J. +. Francis, the State
road contractor, received from the
Farquhar works at York, Pa, a new
combination road roller and traction en-
CINE which will be put into commission
on the road today or tomorrow. The
new engine is equipped with double cy-
finders and is rated at forty horse powe r
and capable of hauling from fifty to
seventy tons over the roads having the
greatest percentage of grade. With
the new engine Mr.. Francis now has
two traction and three road rollers. He
has graded about two thousand feet of
the roadway and will begin placing the
foundation rock upon it in day or two.

To Test TWO-Cent Law.

The third suit to test the West Vir-
gnia two-cent law, was filed in the
Kanawha Circuit Court at Charleston,
when the Vrginian Railway asked for
an injunction to restrain the Attorney
General and the prosecuting attorneys
of the counties through which the rail-
road operates. from enforcing the law
against that road. The case will be
heard July "a. In similar cases
brought by the Coal and Coke and the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Com
panies, Judge Burdett has held the law
unconstitutional and void.

groan and perspire. The weather itself
is all right. 1t is mellow Imoist and
magnificent. The same sort.of weather,
indeed, made life one grand, sweet song
in the Garden of Eden.
But Adam and Eve, of course. were
properly appreciative and receptive,

Adam wore only a peach kernel around

reclined beneath their spreading fig
tree, singing duets, reading. the best
sellers and enjoying the balmv air. No
one overheard Adam complain of the
weather. He thought it was perfect

/ We do not advocate a literal follow

plain that some general reforms must

able denunciation of the weather which
now goes on. The weather, as we
pointed out in the beginning, is all right;

this season of the year, and is prepared

only consolation we can offer is contain

when formerly 1t was one of the ac-
tive stocks, many thousands beins
traded in. The public has beef
'wised up and is wisely keeping our
of the game.
Again. the Nat C. Goodwin COM
pany (Ricel through the wide circu-
lation of the News, solicited the
handling of all Nevada stocks, and
collected in their office certificates
representing hundreds of thousands,
if not millions, of shares, which have
been used to depress prices of every
property in which they were not d.
rectly. interested. Members of the
Rawhide Stock and Exchange board
worked Loyalty and intelligently to
create a market for Rawhide stocks.
For eight months this work was kept
up. With scarcely an exception, when
ever a company encountered a rich
ore body and the fact was given such
publicity as to bring in buying orders
for its stock, causing the price to
gradually climb, the Goodwin com
pany would rush in a wheel-bafro V
load. of certificates, glut the market
with selling orders, depress prices
and choke to death the demand. Re-
peatedly was this done in the case of
Royal Tiger, and in more than one
instance with companies leasing cE
Coalition ground. The dirty pur-
pose, of course, was to put in disre-
pute every stock in the state except
those in which the firm was directly
interested, with Coalition always in
the spot light. So successful has Rice
been in this campaign of extermina-
ton that it is next to impossible now
| to sell share of Rawhide stock at
any price, the exchange has been
closed, the camp is stone dead, and
the only hope of revival is that Good
win and Rice will sell their holdings
and cease forever and completely
their connection with the camp,
when it is hoped that capital can be
secured to open up the most promis-
ing gold field on earth today-bar
none.
And, again, did not Rice in his pa
per decry all of the Tonopah stocks
that the mines were worked out; no
ore on the lower levels; people were
throwing away their money. And,
again, he printed the same Of the
Goldfield properties. The reason that
he done this was because Tonopah
and Goldfield people would not al
low his dirty mining linen to be
washed in their cities The people
knew him and he knew it too we'll.
And here is another one Shortly
after the three wildcat banks at
Rawhide failed last summer, the
stock exchange sent a delegation OF
prominent and responsible business
men to interview George Wingfeld
to induce him to establish there "a
strong bank, which business condi-
lions then warranted At first he re-
lgarded the proposition favorably
took the matter under consideration
and finally declined to establish the
bank; giving as his reason therefore
that the blankety blank Rice would
want to borrow all the money in tn

him have it, he tRice) would use his

to hammer every enterprise in Ne

interested.

for obvious reasons. But it's col
umns have ever been prostituted to
the original dishonest purpose, to
lure dollars from the pockets of easy
marks to the Goodwin-Rice Golfers.
The Rice person, in his long hunt for
dirty dollars, has learned but one
side of human nature, it's blind cove
tousness, its INSCRIPTIONS averice,
and his paper has appealed success
fully to those so dominated. 1t has
therefore driven away from every
enterprise supported men of intelli-
gence and repute, who know that if
all it has said of alleged rich strikes
in Nevada were true, gold would to-
day be as cheap as copper.
So it has CHANGED that Rice, with
this vehicle of wide publicity at his
command, with not a rival in the
field for quite year and half, has
practically controlled the mining
brokerage business of the state dur
ing that time. 1t was through this
prestige that he butted into the game
at Rawhide, securing an interest in
the Coalition. The details of that
transaction are not known definitely,
but the general belief is that he finn
TANNED young Van Born, the con-
trolling owner, who had time for
little else than self alteration, which
belief has been confirmed by frequent
friction between the two, about which
both have talked indiscretely This
interest, questionably acquired in
the Rawhide property, accounts for
the concentration of the News feel
some fiattery batteries on that camp,
with its long list of resulting di-
sasters, which should here be briefly
reviewed
Manipulation of Coalition stock by
the Nat Goodwin which al
ways means George Graham Rice,
don't ever forget that's the pri-
maj SuuoO lOi thC dOoO1uIO ldCh vi
confidence of the average intelligent
outside world in Rawhide mines, and
has prevented the investment of
money there. The property itself is
a good one, but Rice was not content
to tell the unadorned favorable truth
about it's wealth. In his effort to
sell it's over-capitalized stock and
boost it's price beyond it's present
known intrinsic value, he has had
published in his News the most alb
surd statements, the most fabulous
falsehoods regarding alleged ore de-
posits uncovered, statements that
condemn themselves as false, in the
judgment of any man in the remotest
degree familiar with precious metal
mining. And a great deal of this
stock has been sold, too, to the pro-
verbal fish, one of which is said to
be born every minute. What has
been done with money derived from
this source is a mystery, as little, if
any of it, has ever been expended in
development work, and therein lies
the fraud. The only work that has
ever been done on the Coalition
worthy of mention has been done by
leasers, 80 per cent of it with their
own hands, because they could not
