Contractor Calvin P. Howell, OF this
city. was the builder OF the home.
INr, Howell is a yIrginian BY birth,
Being horn and reared at Berryvllle in
the Valley. OF Virginia. He is 40
years of age and In the very prime
of life. Ten years ago he became a
resident Of this city. opened d contract
business here and has prospered. In
deed, by his integrity and honesty N
work he has become one of the lead
ing contractors of the state He has
built some Of the finest residences In
Clarksburg and with Just pride his
friends point to them as samples
of his skin and splendid Workman
ship.
The Odd Fsflows' state home was
awarded to him in competition with
nineteen well known and capable
builders Of the country. which fact
emphasizes the confidence the build
ing committee had IN him and that
confidence was fuzzy Kept as the
building went up as ahown byfa letter
to Mr.. Howell by John A. Book. OF
New Martinsyille, chairman of the
building committee, written August
81 last, in which Mr.. Book says:
Letter from Mr.. Book.
Uncle Sep Hail was here few!
minutes last night on his way homes
He gave me a glowing account Of curl
home. He says 1t IL one of the finest
in all the country. He praises the
brick work as being very fine, also
the wood work.
e.Mr. Alexander, tthe architect),
told him and afterRard asstnld me-
thatsit was the finest ne ever saw,
Brother, you do not know how this
pleases me. You told me at Fairmont,
when the contract was signed, that
you would give us better job than
the contract called for, and I believe
you are doing it. This building will
surely be monument to your skill
and honesty in work and you will
merit the praise of every Odd Fellow
In the state"
Mention of septimus Hall, of New
Martinsville, in connection with the
home is justly due. owing to the deep
interest he has taken in the founding
of the home and In looking after Its
construction. Had 1t not been for
him the chances are good that the
Odd Fellows of West Virginia would
not have the home as he was one OF
the prime movers and he helped to
form the corporation, which gave the
right to build. He has devoted a great
deal time, brain and energy to the
movement and the fruits OF the
labors of himself and many other
leading Odd Fellows OF the state
are brilliantly and richly shown by the
state home.

ISpecinI Dispatch TO the Morning Jonrnall

Washington, d. c., Nov. 24.-Pres-
ident Taft has wired the offer of the
governorship of New Mexico to a cer-
tain man in the territory but until. his
acceptance is received no official an
nouncement of the appointment will
be made. This information was given
out at the White house today after
President Taft had had a conference
witA Postmaster General Hitchcock
National Committeeman Luna of New
Mexico. 1t was reported few days
ago that Judge Abbott of the terri
torial supreme court had been select
ed for the office but the White house
has steadfastly denied this
There is no inclination in any quar-
ter to discuss the appointment until
the president make his selection pub
lie. therefore, it is difficult even to
make a guess or forecast in the mat
ter There are some officials here,
however who believe the appointment
has been offerd to Judge Abbott and
that he has asked time to take the
matter under adviscment If he does
not accept the appointment the peo-
pie of the territory may expect local
man to be named. The White house
declines to affirm or deny that Judge
Abbott has been offered the office.

weeks-and it happens that l am well

learning and of judicial poise that
ton, bat also to the success with
which the court disposed of its task.
1t was in recognition of this work
that Judge Pope was appointed
United states attorney for the Pueblo
Indians and later Judge of the First
Instance in the Philippine Islands,
where he first came under the per
sonal notice of President Taft who
has a high opinion of Judge Pope's
character and attainments. Upon his
return from the Philippines, in 1903,
Judge Pope was appointed an asso-
ciate Justice of the New Mexico SUI
preme court and was reappointed in
1907. Some of the most scholarly
opinions in the New Mexico reports
of late years are from his pen. Judge
Pope has done invaluable service for
this commonwealth in various capaci-
ties, notably as member of the
board that had charge of the rebuild
ing of the Capitol He is property
owner both at Santa Fe and at Ros-
well and takes a live interest in the
progress of the commonwealth and It's
people. Some speculation is INDUCED
in whether Judge Pope will continue
to make his headquarters as chief
Justice at Roswell or whether he will
go to Las Vegas, but general opinion
seems to be that it viii be Roswell.
