Fewer Accidents Noted

Accidents not attended with fatal
results show a slight decrease over
previous years, the total reaching the
figure of 1854 of which 6065 were
caused by horses and horse drawn We
hicles; 4026 by motors of all kinds, in
Guiding motorcycles; 2066 by electric
trans, 1902 by push pedal" cycles,
nine by fire engines and four by trac-
tion engines. The danger of hanging
on behind" as is done by the small boy,
or the bicycle rider who is a foolish
labor saver. is shown by the fact that
13 people were killed and 190 injured,
"in consequence" as the report puts it,
"of their improperly riding, or attempt
ing to ride, behind vehicles" These
figures are interesting to every road
user. and, coming from the metropolis
of the world, are instructive as well.

AUTOMOBILE LIFE IN
BIG CITY OF LONDON
CHIEF COMMISSIONER OF P0-
LICE GIVES STATISTICS
Enormous Increase in Motor Cabs.
Horse-DraWn Vehicles Show the
Greatest Number of Fatal
Accidents

An interesting statement has just
been made by the chief commissioner
of police of London for last year. The
statistics show that the number of
public carriages licensed was increased
by AIS as compared with the previous
year. The number of licenses for motor
cabs and tramway cars of the electric
type was increased by 2317, and the
horse drawn cabs, omnibuses and
trans, and. curiously, motor buses,
show q decrease of 1898.
The commissioner explains the de-
crease of motor buses by saying that
IL is probably due 20 the fact that GER
tain of those previously licensed have
been found unsuitable, and were not
brought forward again. but have been
broken up or put to other uses.
The total of 2090 new vehicles
licensed is almost entirely accounted
for In motor cars, new horse drawn
cabs being only So, as against IT'S
motor cabs The gradual decline of the
horse drawn vehicle is plainly to be
seen by the following numbers:
Shows Enormous Increase
In 1906 379 new horse cabs and only
S5 new motor cabs were licensed, but
against seven horse drawn omnibuses
no fewer than 609 mechanically pro-
PEELED omnibuses or public service We
hcles We're given the necessary per-
mission to ply their trade. In the new
year the number OF new motor cabs
showed the enormous increase of 54l,
while horse cabs decreased by 212.
Great as the increase in motor cabs
was In 1907, IL was nearly doubled in
1908. Not a single new horse bus was
licensed last year. The number of We
hicles presented in a defective condiF
tion and consequently rejected by the
inspectors in various districts was
1889. the greatest number of these
being the hanson cab. of which 767
were rejected. The motor cab came a
close second, there being 491 reflections
making It evident that high standard
is insisted upon. The same high
standard is applied to the examination
of drivers of motor cabs. OF the 1869
men applying for licenses but 2S27
passed muster.
With regard to the number of fatal
accidents. the report shows that the
uncovered horse drawn carts have been
responsible for the greatest portion Of
the 326 Their record is SO fatalities
against so for the motor vehicle.
Thirty-one persons were killed by COW
cred carts and vans, while covered mo-
tor cars of all classes caused % deaths
in the year An analysis Of the total
shows that i'm spite of the great in
crease i'm the number of motor vehicles
animal traction heads the list with
147 deaths as against 131 fatal accidents
for which motor cars of all kinds
which include electric trans and
steam traction engines, are responsible

ing at Columbus, o., last week, and
from there went to Lafayette, Ind
ana, to visit his brother, Prof. G. II.
Light, instructor of mathematics at
Purdue university.
MIR. Light waxed enthusiastic when
discussing the Columbus meeting,
which he declared to be one of the
best meetings ever held in the United
States in the interest of better high
ways. There were TOO delegates pres
ent, representing thirty-two of the
forty-six states of the union and repre-
senting seventy millions OF people or
over seventy per cent. of the people.
Great interest was manifested in the
meeting and states as far away as
California and New Hampshire had
authorized delegates present.
One feature, said Mr.. Light, was
Drought prominently 10 the front at
the meeting and that was the fact that
If the states have good roads they
must pay for them. In some parts of
the graf state of Ohio for instance,
il ChnUn thof
road purposes was thirty mills on the
dollar or three dollars for every hun
dred dollars valuation. In Parkers-
burg the total tax rate is only 81 05 IL
on the hundred dollars valuation.
Mr.. Light brought the news that the
proposed meeting of the road engi-
neers of the state would be held in
Parkersburg about December J. He
picked on Parkersburg as being the
most centrally located point in the
state Mr.. Light wants to get his
fifty-five road engineers together and
wants to give them some pointers on
the new road laws which become eff
fective next April.
Discussing the bond issue of $780,
900 voted on by three districts OF Kan
awha county last week and turned
down by the narrow margin of 81
votes in Charleston district, Mr.. Light
said that he was sorry that the bond
issue was not ratified but he felt en-
couraged at the showing made. He
gave it as his opinion that the vote
showed Enthusiastically that the people
were awakening to the necessity of
good roads. The bonds carried in two
of the districts. The purpose was TO
a good road from Charleston
to Sissonville, tapping the rich Roane
county oil field.
Mr. Light stated that he was still
on the pursuit of the prisoners in the
county Jail and next year expects to
take action and induce the various
county courts to put those prisoners
to work building highways.

THE APPLE IS KING.

Today marks the opening of the
arst annual Apple Show and Carni-
val of the Berkel y County Horticul-
-tnryl Society. This IL probably the
most extensive apple show that has
ever been attempted n the Eastern
part of the United Stat $. The fine
display of the most beautiful apples
ever seen is shown by he growers OF
Berkeley county. Every one should
see the exhibit.
Scarcely anything has brought
Berkeley county into more promi-
nence than the excellent fruit that Is
grown on the famous Apple Pie Ridge
of Berkeley county. BY the efforts OF
the Horticultural Society cur fruit has
been brought to a perfection that is
not equaled anywhere ir this broad
land. Some may grow larger fruit,
others more varieties, but when the
quality, color and size Of our apples
IS considered there is none that ex-
cell.
The fame of our "B arkeley' fruit
has gone out all over the world, and
daily inquiries for it come from all
parts. The demand at the present is
greater than the visible supply. There
are at present more than five thous-
and acres of bearing orchards in the
county, and the number of barrels
produced aud placed Oh the market
is estimated at one hundred thousand.
The value of the crop was nearly four
hundred thousand dollars. Within the
next five years there will come into
bearing a hundred and fifty thousand
trees. 1t can readily 5s seen what
this will mean to the fruit industry
OF Berkeley county.
The Horticultural Society is TO be
commended for their effort to place
the finest fruit that can lee grown on
the market, for the consumption of
lovers of the apple. They deserve the
hearty support of every person in the
county and the present show and car
nival should be means of inspiration

TO PRESERVE THE FISH.
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal to Be
Seined AGAIN This Winter.

1t can be stated authoritatively that
the government will undertake to
seine the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
this winter when the flow is shut off,
provided Col. Nicholson, the manager
and superintendent, has no objections
to such procedure. Col Nicholson is
an ardent sportsman himself and has
always aided in conserving the
game, birds, and fish, and he will no
doubt encourage the work. A year
ago Thousands of black bass ranging
from fingerlinss to pounds were re-
turned to the Potomac and thousands
of other species were Likewise given
freedom in the river, all to grow and
multiply. While the United States
Fish Commission representatives were
working at the pools last year many
persons along the canal country got
in their work first ana carried away
a great many fine bass,
1t is proposed to obviate that this
year by employing agents to guard
the pools, which may be the means of
doubling the reclamation. 1t is ap-
proximated that more than 100000
fishes will be taken from the canal
and planted in the Patomac If assist
ance is rendered by all concerned to
make the undertaking a success.
