Doc7oRiNe EGGS TO ORDER
Proprietors Of Cuban Restaurants Are
by No Means Absolutely Devoid
of Guile.

salt fish for my breakfast practically
every morning. said the young man
In the window seal of the restaurant
slipping his coffee with an air of con.
tent. Its fine to be in a place where
one can get the sort of breakfast n
wishes, instead of eternal soft boiled
eggs that form the only provender n
may get in the morning. That soft
boiled egg statement takes in a large
part of the globe, but my grievance
at the moment is against Havana
where | have been kept for W or
three months. The eggs are not even
what we would call soft-boiled. but are
in Spanish parlance, pasados poi

are not even heated. In the Cuban

what we would call the Yankee vari'

cafes wish to make sure that they get
fresh native eggs. not imported ones
of unknown age. Cuban eggs always
are laid in muddy nests and by the
mud stains they may be recognized.
| noticed that a waiter from one of
the big places in the Prado went Into
the side street every morning and
filled a tray with nice fresh Cuban
mud. After placing this out of sight
behind the bar, he carefully arranged
upon 1t white eggs. presumably fresh
from their coverings of lime. When
ever a particular customer In this
restaurant made a special demand for
some Cuban eggs he was sure to find

Unjust Forest Reserve Regulations

In another colum of this weeks
Sun will be found an article dealing
with the forest regulations that saw
mill men have to work under in the
manufacture OF lumber for the use of
the people in their vicinity. The
matters set forth in that article are
from first hand. If any n will take
time to go to the local lumber yard
and examine the character of the
lumber manufactured from this "mer-
charitable deaf timber, standing and
down." he will be able to see at a
glance that fully nine-tenths of it is
not fit to be used in the construction
of a building. If is fecked with rot
ten spots, it is wind shaken and many
of the boards are not sound enough
to hold a nail firmly. Naturally n
asks: "What is the use of this7
Why does the Government compel
men to saw such stuff into lumber7
Is it because of the shortage of tim
ber?" 1t is up to the Forest officials
to answer these pertinent questions.
Why is 1t, that when a tree is marked
for cutting, which a lumber-man, with
his experience in such things, pro-
nounces unfit for use, the Govern
ment will compel him TO cut it, tho
~ .,,.r anpfutp nnlp ,nn lnr FIT for
use? BY the time the mill la has
paid to have such a tree cut up into
log lengths, the brush piled and the
good cut transported to the mill, that
one cut will cost him more than the
lumber he gets out of it is worth.
The case res lives itself down to the
point of the difference of opinion be-
tween the forest officer and the mill
man DIS to what timber is merchant
able" If the Government could fur
ni@h II practical lumberman to mark
the timber no doubt but most of this
difficulty would be done away with.
But If any one wants to see the class
of lumber called "merchantable" by
the forest ranger, all he has to do is
to go to IA lumber yard and examine
the lumber exposed for sale.
The Sun has always stood for for
est preservation and has been a
staunch advocate Of forest reserves,
but it cannot give its approval to such
regulations as are now in force in the
Hayden National Forest and, perhaps,
in all of the other reserves in the
state. 1t believes that the Govern
ment has no intention of working
such IA hardship, and this article is
published solely to call the attention
Of the forest officials to the situation
of affairs as it finds them in this To-
cality.

CLARKSBURG. Sept 3.-The meet
ing OF the forty-taird annual West Vlr-
glnia Central Agricultural and Mechan.
ical Society for tine year 1909 has come
and gone and all that remains Is the
pleasant memory of the good times
which were had by the many thou
sands of people VINO attended during
the four days OF the meet.
Yesterday, the last day. saw the
close of what Is known us the "Oll
Fair" Clarksburg's popular annual
amusement which Is presented with
much pleasure to the people OF the
State and county. The last day did
not see such a large crowd as the
third day but the attendance was good
and was in the neisnborhood OF five
thousand people. Mostly city people
attended yesterday while the huge
crowd OF the day before. came mostly
from the towns of the county.
Ideal weather was had during the
entire fair and this alone helped to
boost the attendance. The railroad
service rs well as the street car SER
vice was extra good and the execu-
ton of the four days programme by
the officials was all that was expect
ed.
The race programme OF the last day
was a good one, in fact. the races Mt
the fair this year. taken as q whole
were the best which have yet been
seen Mt the grounds.
The midway was go7d and pleased
thousands who gally with light hearts

many attractions. Rubber balls, the
Ice cream cone. the animal show. the
music and all. was what made many

HOW THEY CELEBRATED

o'clock last night there were about eighteen drunks and disorderlies locked up in the city jail All of them had been celebrating Christmas in their own peculiar way. In some parts of the city the day was used as an excuse for lawlessness. There were a number of street fights, in
 which little damage was done and no one seriously hurt. One fight in particular, on Center street, was worth paying admission to see. It lasted three rounds, with intermis- sions between. The first round was in an alley off Center street One of the men was knocked down. but later he met his opponent in a saloon and the second round resulted in a draw
 The final round was on the sidewalk. and again one of the men went to the mat with a cross-counter to the jaw. He was not counted out, but got up easily and sauntered away. Bystanders called time for the fourth round. but the men had disappeared.

 A GORGEOUS PRESENT-A gor- geous sofa pillow of white satin. with lavender colored elk on one side and huge bunch of violets on the other, was a Christmas gift to Marshal Moore from his old friend "Capn Hi" The elk is almost life size and is a work of ,art that would make Mir. Landseer. who painted the first elk that was ever painted. turn uneasily in his grave. Under the elk's head is the legend from Hi Macdonald" It is very pretty present and one that the marshal prizes greatly.
