MARTINsRURc, VIVA. FRIDAY NOVEMBER 10, 1909,


The parkersburg Sentinel says:
"Dispatches state that the governor
has carried out his threat that the
National Guard company at Gassawsy
must pay for Its mutiny, by dismiss.
ing the entire membership from the
service and ordering the mastering
out OF the company. The "mutiny,n
IS told by dispatches from Gassa way,
consisted In a refusal upon the part OF
the men to fire into the crowd which
f}lled the streets of the town. The men
are reported to have said they would
do all in reason to protect the accu Sc d
negroes from mob violence but won Ia
not obey orders to fire upon the popu-
lace.
The governor has the power to dis
miss the men, but not all the power
Of hundred governors could disgrace
them for conduct such as theirs Is
said to have been. The man who
would give the command to the sol
diers to fire upon their fathers, broth
ers, sons, perhaps their wives or moth
ers, 10 the one who IL everlastingly
di~graced and tine refusal Of the Ma
tional Guardsmen to obey such an or
der raises them in the public estim a.
ton. Ii to stay in the guard means
murder, they should be proud Of their
discharge

The Cumberland Valley Railroad
company will move its passenger sta
ton at Lemoyne back about fifty feet
from its present location toward the
Carlisle pike, which 10 to he paved IT
that point. This change will give The
G. V. an entrance to their station from
the Rossmoyne street bridge, will en-
nable the company to beautify the
surroundings of the depot and what Is
more i'm portant, give 1t more room for
yard tracks.
For some time the q. v. has been
crowded at this point. For almost two
years the company has been buying
land, grading and constructing addi-
itional tracks between Iemoyne an d
the new White Hill freight transfer
station. These developments are TO be
followed by others along the line aud
Oh the West Shore.
The company has been buying land
COR some time along its line bstwec a
Lemoyne ard White Hill. At Shire
manstown real estate agent has pur-
chased several farms which, 1t Is said,
will eventually be used as the sites Of
large shops. In connection with this
there has been u rumor that the &. VI
is to move its Cham bersburg shops to
that point, but nothing definite is ac-
tually known as to the purposes Of the
company in this regard.
In connection with the &. v. chang
en- reported, it has been known for
some time that the pennsy had had
blue prints made for the enlargement
Of the Enola yards, when traffic 9 ON
ditions warrent. Just how much this
improvement Is to cost cannot be
learned AT present the Enola yards
are adequate for all of the traffic
handled there, but If freight continues
to increase az it has within the past
three months II will not be long be-
fore something will have to be done
to take care of the addition. al traffic.

An analysis and comparison Of
election results In New York and
Philadelphia, two American cities gov.
erned by VIGOROUSLY corrupt political
organizations, reflects infinitely great
er credit upon the voters Of the former
than upon the electorate Of the latter.
Reform was the issue IN both cities,
and the Democrats Of New York voted
Tammany out If power, but the Re-
pnblicans of Philadelphia refused to
end the regime OF graft and incompe-
tence maintained by the bosses OF
their party.
Tammany was never more corrupt
than Philadelphia's Republican ma
chine, nor was its evil deeds and dis
honest methods more clearly exposed
or more persistently denounced in the
recent ampa,gn; yet New York re-
fused to trust Tammany to handle the
funds. of The municipality, while Phila-
delphia endorsed city administration
that is rotten TO its core.
"Iu Philadelphia as in no other city
and ia Pennsyi vania as in no Other
state, the forces of fraud and graft are
inirenched," says an exchange in
commenting upon the defest of q it,
bony for district attorney. People Of
the outside world are prone to wondel
II the situation Is to continue until the
children of Pennsylvania are taught

SANTIAM MINES
MAKE BIG STRIKE

Big strike in the Electric" Mine
while crowd Of business men were
at the mines making a personal In
vestigatlon.
They came back with wonderful
tales, as to its extent and richness
Experts and competent authori-
ties, who have examined these prop
critics for the government and the
smelter people, say that 1t is an inn
mense body of very rich ore that will
last for generations to come.
The Electric has IL claims, one
placer claim, mill site, water power
and timber for all time. The smell
ter will be erected In the midst of
our properties. All this together
with the good management and our
small capital ($1,00O,000) will pay
the stockholders enormous .divi-
dends. II is estimated by the most
conservative business men of Salem
that this last strike will cause the
Electric" to pay at least calcula-
tion 100 per cent dividend on their
stock at its present selling price
(25c).
This rich strike is going to force
the stock up again and IL you want
any of this stock at 25c you'll have
to harry.
Buy all you can; Il is the biggest
investment In Oregon today, and in
few years you won't have TO hang
your head and say In a disgraceful
tone of voice, that you cold have
bought some OF that Electric stock
but didn't do It; but you can say /
took Mays advice and today I am
worth my thousands. LISTEN ~!
II you will invest in the Electric"
mine just what money you expect TO
throw away for foolishness the bal
ance of this year, 1t will make you
rich.
