Kentucky.

According to the last census Ken
lucky has population of 2,147,174.
The area is 40,400 square miles
400 Of which is water. The streams
within the State, as rule head in the
Southeast and flow in Northwesterly
direction; this fact retarded the con-
structiOn of railroads and the devel-
opment of our resources for many
years.
The early railroads were built from
the East and went over the more
level territories North of the Ohio
River and South of the Cumberland
Mountains. In those days there was
only limited demand for coal and
lumber. Now that the demand has in
creased. IL would seem that
a kind providence has held in
reserve our almost inexhaustible util-
tiles until time when they are most
needed by the country. Our supply
of timber is limited, but there is
enough to last for many years to
come.
We have coal area Of over fifteen
thousand square miles. Other min
erals await development.
Natural gas and oil, in paying
quantities are being developed in
many localities.
There are no more bad people in
Kentucky than in other States in pro-
portion to population. Good people
regardless of politics or religion, are
always welcome.

of twenty-five miles. Ford on the
river, South of Winchester, has ex-
tensive lumber mills.
Three railroads go entirely across
the cOunty-Chesapeake & Ohio,
Louisville & Nashville and Lexington
& Eastern.
Blue Grass is a natural product.
Uncultivated land will set itself in
blue grass. Crops of timothy and
clover can be raised with profit. Corn,

ELECTRICITY ON BRANCH ROAD

A wss stated in the Gazette, q move
ment has been inaugurated by the
Southern Railway Company to test the
utility of electricity in the transporta.
ton service of the branch lines of that
road. An electric motor car was today
placed on the route between Strasburg
and Manassas. The car used in this
service is about forty feet long, and is
fitted with two standard railway motors
of 100 horsepower on each Of the two
forward trufks, which will make possible
a speed of from so to GO miles an hour.
Il will comfortably seat 80 passengers,
with small hand baggage, aud will be
able 10 carry reasonable amount OF
express aud mail in forward compart-
ment, just in the rear of the pilot house,
and in front of the smoking room. The
running OF the cars is in the nature of
an experiment, and if 1t proves as pop
ulsr RS the cars have in other large cities
1t will be continued the year round. 1t

THE APPROACHING FOURTH.

Commissioner Mcfarland, chairman
OF the Joint committee of the Chamber Of
Commerce and the Board of Trade of the
'rict of Columbia, for the "sste aud
ae'' celebration of independence Day,
las Issued an appeal to all citizens to
lend their aid in eliminating the promis-
cuOas explosion of fireworks in Washing
ton. He asks that parents aid the au-
thorities in making the day free from
accidents by preventing their children
from buying and exploding fireworks.
The authorities of Baltimore are also
preparing for n rational celebration Of
Independence Day. In accordance vito
the yearly custom, the police department
of Alexandria has announced q determl-
nation to eliminate az far as possible the
explosive feature of the Fourth of July
by allowing the use only of the small
ADD comparatively harmless frecrackera.
Daring the past few nights, however,
the regulations have not been enforced 10
acme sections of the city. 1t is hoped
by most people that the officers will see
that the order is obeyed, and that IL will
not, rs on some occasions, be more hon.
0red in the breach than in the observ-
ance. A few arrests OF persons who defy
she law will be sufficient.
