EDO WAYNE CO., w. VA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER Is 1909
PROSPERITY HAS
STRUCK n. & ".
Trainmen Being Employ
ed Daily--Men Wanted
For Repair Dept.

Prosperity has struck the Norfolk
~ Western railway good and hard.
More trains are being run over that
road now than has been the case for
several years. The company seems
to be short of men and is employing
trainmen and firemen daily.
While coal seems to be the priu-
cipal traffic, it should also be re-
membered that this road is receIv-
ing its share of merchandise ship
ments. During our recent visit we
found the clerks at the freight depot
buried almost to their ears in bills of
lading, etc, evidences that all their
work is not play.
U. @. Chambers is the gen eral
agent, and it is up to him to see that
all freight that comes to the depot
is promptly billed out. He has an
excellent corps Of assistants and
az resul: of the efficiency of the
clerical force, complaints from pa
irons at this junction are few and
far between.
Another department that has its
hands full is the local car repair de-
partment, known among railroad
men as the shop or hammer track.
Of course when the transportation
department receives a squirt of pros
perity business is bound to pick up
with the repairmen, for the more
cars that are handled the more are
damaged.
To those unacquainted with rail
way matters it might be stated that
each car of every train that goes
out OF the kenova yards is exam.
iued before 1T leaves this terminal.
The inspector looks closely for bro
ken tlmbers, rods, leaks III the train
line, RESERVOIR, ETC., and especially y
tor broken fanges. He raps each
car with 4 hammer and the vibrat-
ing sound quickly tells whether or
not the " heel is broken. If "bad
order" car is found IN train it is so
marked by the inspector and is shift
ed 10 the repair track. Here every
thing can be done from the replac-
ing of email bolt 10 pair of
trucks.
A large force of men are kept
continually at work on the hammer
track. Besides these others, known
as road men, are also employed .
When a car breaks down on the road
it is set on a siding and one of these
is sent there to place same in condi-
tion that it may be sent to either its
destination or to the terminal.
AT present 30 or 80 more men are
needed at the local terminal, as the
present force is too small for the
large amount of work to be done.

STATE FIRE MARSHAL
ISSUES BULLETIN
Calling Attention TO HIS
Power Under the LaWt to
Eliminate Hazards.

ASKING the cooperation Of the
public and the press in arousing
public sentiment: a3ainst the
large destruction Of property by
fire, State Fire Marshal Chas. A.
Ellison has issued . bulletin
from his Office in whlch he has
announced that it will be the
policy of the department to is
sue from time TO time, bulletins
on the elimination of FIRE haz.
ards.
"lt is shown by the experience
OF other states that a law Of this
nature will lessen the number of
cases of ineendiarism more than
half and make large reduction
In the fire loss by the elimination
OF common fire. hazards. In or
der that this enormous fire waste
may be reduced it will be neces-
sary to create strong public
sentiment against, not only the
man who burns property for gain
or revenge, bot also the man who
permits a serious fire hazard to
exist on his premises"
ISSUES BULLETIN
The above statement was made
by Fire Marshal Ellison and he
gave out a bulletin to the press in
which the new law, creating the
office of State Fire Marshal, is ex-
planned to the public. The bulle-
tin follows:
"The new law provides that
the cause, origin and circumstan-
ces of every fire occurring in the
state IN which the loss exceeds
5000, shall be reported to the
fire marshal within week of It's
occurrence, by the chief of the
fire department, by the mayor of
every Incorporated city or town
IN which no fire department ex-
lists and in the country by the
justice of the peace Of the magis-
terial district. From these re-
ports valuable statistics can be
compiled showing such data as
the exact number of fires, by
months, the value and class of
property destroyed, the cause of
such fire, and other facts that
will be useful in the elimination
Of fire waste.
"Suspicious Fires. If there be
circumstances TO indicate that
the fire was Intentionally started
by some one. no matter how small
the loss, the law requires that the
state fire marshal be notified at
cnce, by the above public Off
GERS.
"Power TO Investigate. The
fire marshal or his deputy may
investigate any suspicious fires

CLEANUP AND

State Sup't Has Desiqnat-
ed October 4 as a Day
TO Beautify Home.

| am convinced that the work
of our schools is seriouely dis,
counted by the bad physical con-
ditions in and around school
houses. it is a lamentable fast
that an ideal school house and
grounds is really hard to find.
An inartistic building, dirty and
uncomfortable, with an made
quaie and neglected yard is the
rule. 1t IS small comfort to ar.
que that other states are no bet.
ter off in this respect than we
are. The time is at hand when i,
will be our shame if we allow
these conditions to continue.
Shall we not have concerted
effort among all the people of the
state towards cleaning up and
beaut,fying West Virginia, our
home, land bountifully blessed
by nature but devastated by man?
To this end l have designated
Friday, October 1, 1909. as Clean
UP and Beautify Day to be OBJ
served in all the schools of West
Virginia and by every civic feder-
alton, improvement league, wo-
mans club or other society that
will join us in such beneficept
and patriotic movement. This
exerciee Will take the place of the
fall arbor day and while the
folks in the country are scrub
bing windows and floors, clean
ing away debris, planting vines,
building walks, erecting flag
poles or putting up pictures, The
folks In town may be washing
walls and desks, planting shrubs
or trees, or organizing crusades
against filthy alleys and back
yards, unsanitary cars and in
decent billboards, noxious shows
and vulgar language OH the streets.
We live In the school house, the
car and on the street. These
places should then be as clean,
wholesome, attractive and beau
tiful as we can make them. How
shall we go at all this? Anyway
80 we go at it in earnest.
A young girl reporting her inn
provem9nt work two years ago
said: "The stick weeds Oh one
lot were so big that to cut them
off would leave stnbs to mangle
the children's feet at play, so
got the larger pupils to help and
we pulled them up by the roots
with our hands," The same
teacher went to the road overseer
and by her entreaty compelled
him to remove tie public road
out from the front of her door
steps. This shows what can be
done where there is will.
If you live in the city have the
mayor issue a "clean up" procla-
nation for October /. Enlist the
activities of every child by the
use of badge or button or other
means. The press will lend you
great assistance if you tell them
about the movement. Have the
ministers preach sermon on the
subject on the Sunday preceding.
Join in with every possible civic
J improvement club and do as
many Of the hundreds of needed
things ss you can do.
If you are in the country get
the boys and girls, their fathers
and mothers, the trustees and
boards of education, the minis
ters, everybody else, and go to
work, first on the school house
and grounds, then on the roads
and fence rows, then the springs
and streams, then the churches
and cemeteries.
! All this can be done by will

AEROPLANE SAFER THAN

Washington. July ST. would rather

than ride over 1t in your AUTOMOBILES"
said Wilbur Wright yesterday to a
scouting party preparing to traverse
h dusty Virginia roads between Fort
Myer and Alexandria, along the course
over which his brother Is soon to fly.
You are liable to get stuck somewhere
besides being covered with dust"
spuncture q tire, and the sitting heat
along the clay bottoms and through
the woods was all but intolerable.
The course over which will be made
oflcial flight for which the Wrights are
preparing, begins at Fort Myer across
the river from Washington, on a rela-
lively high plateau, and extends some
what east of south, five miles to the
turning point on a hill, westerly from
Alexandria. which will be made visible
from Myer by q small bright yellow
balloon marking its location.
First Of Kind.
The country between is broken and
rather heavily wooded, but at intervals
places in case OF emergency. This
broken country involves consideration
Of many scientific problems, and the
is expected to be of unique
value in the development Of aeronau-
tics. This will be the first flight across
broken country in a heavier-than-air
machine.
The highest altitude yet negotiated
by the Wrights in their ae%rOplanes 10
1854 feet, Wilbur making that height for
