NEWPORT NEWS TO THF FRONT

(Richmond Evening Journal)
Things are doing in the Newpor'
News newspaper world. The morn
ing Press has changed hands and
the afternoon Times-Herald has added
to its mechanical equipment. Both
,.apers are already fully abreast OF
the business development OF the com
munity; but both are preparing for an
anticipated expansion of trade and
population in the near future.
A sentimental interest attaches to
the transfer of ownership of the
Press. Tshis paper was established
fourteen years ago by Charles H.
Thacker and associates. Several years
ago the health of Mr.. Thacker be-
came enfeebled. and in the interval
ne has been away from the city. seek
ing recuperation in .other chimes.
During his absence. however. the pa
per has remained under his direc-
ton. his ideas and policies being
transmitted mail faithfully
executed by those in Immediate
charge. He is an extraordinarily we'll
balanced and equipped newspaper
man. and his final severance OF news
paper ties in Virginia is a loss TO VIr-
ginia journalism. Our good wishes
we watt to him in his home in the
West.
The company acquiring the Press
is made up of Newport News men
exclusively, and every dollar in 1t Is
Newport News money. That is mat
ter of community pride and congratu-
Iation. L. s. Blanton is president OF
the new company. o. d. Bachelor
vice president and l.. f. Pugh secre-
tary.
The afternoon paper. the Times
Herald. was acquired several years
ego by Mr.. w. S. Copeland, the vet
eran journalist. so well and favora5ly
known in this city. He has brough'
the paper to the front with surprising
rapidity, and today 1t is one OF the
hest afternoon properties in the
South.
Newpor: News unquestionably has
i splendid future. and time will am
aly demonstrate the optimism OF It's
newspapers. which are doing Sc
nuch to advance the interests OF the
city both at home and abroad.

THE "ANTIs" SHOULD GET TO-
GETHER.

From Richmond comes the report
that former Governor Andrew j.
Montague will be induced to enter the
race for the Democratic nomination 10
suceed the late Senator Daniel. Mr.
Montague Is said to be non-committa''
though he admits that he has been
appi cached by many OF his friends
who wished him to declare himself as
candidate for the senatorship.
Two candidates for the senate are
TO be named by the Democratic party
next year. 1t is foregone conclusion
that at least one of the two Will De
a., member of what we sometimes can
the machine" And many people
doubtless consider that 1t is a certain
tv that both cf the nominees Will De
men able 10 produce the stamp OF ap-
nroval of the men at present domlnat-
ing the state party organization.
This paper believes that one or the
Two senators should be selected from
amcng the prominent Democrats vi
the State who do not speak the Ian
,s,saee- inf the tribe" There is alsSEgs
and growing element OF voters not III
sympathy with ;he ring" methods
and this element ought To be consid-
cred IN connection with the senatorial
primary. II the "anlis" can agree up
en- one man instead Of allowing TWO
or three to get into the field and Ill
vide the vote. they Will have an ex-
ceilent chance OF choosing one of the
nc minees, we believe.
All of the available material should
be locked over before a selection Is
made. An Overwhelming majority Oh
the Democrats of the First District
would like To have careful considera-
ton given the name OF Hon. William
A. Jones in this connection. as much
as they would dislike to lose Mt
Jones as their representative in the
lower house.

WHAT ABOUT THE PRESIDENTS

Senator Cummlns, OF ioWd' inc III
surgent Republican leader. declared
IN a speech before Chautauqua at
Peabody, Kan. Saturday that Senator
Aldrich and Speaker Cannon were
traitors to their party, II not to their
country. when they supported the
Wickersham railroad bill as 1t came
from the attorney-generars office.
The railroad bill, he said, was di-
rect population of the Republican
platform of 1907, and was directly
in the interest of the railroads and
rot in the interest OF the great COM
mon people of the country"
Senator Cummins has paid his re-
spects TO the new tariff law so often
that every man in the country who
reads knows that this western sena-

the dominating Republican leaders
in their respective branches of con-
gress during the last session. because
they opposed amendments to the Re
publican administrations railroad bill,
which is described as directly IN
the interest OF the railroads.
As far as possible, the insurgent
leaders have refrained from making
direct attacks upon President Taft
and his administration. Aldrich ana
Cannon have been the butt OF most of
the scratching criticisms of the failure
CT the Republican party to fulfill its
campaign promises. However, Senator
Cummins' latest shaft came very near
being aimed directly at the admins
tration itself, though the Presidents
and Cannon are traitors because they
supported a bill drawn particularly
in the interest of the railroads and
against the interest OF the people gen
orally. what about the President, who

DOCUMENTS FILED FOR RECORD.
Transfer OF Property From Old Harney
Peak Co. to Pahasa Company.

Transfer of Property From Old Harney
Peak Co. to Pahasa Company.
The documents perfecting the title to
certain prospects formerly comprising
the Harvey Peak Mining, Milling and
Manufacturing Co.. in the Pshasa Min
ing Co. have been received by Register
HALEY and in time will be spread upon
the records of the Office. The matter is
in printed folios and fills several hun.
dred pages of the record. They were
sent to the Office by Attorney A. B:
Kittredge, of Sioux Falls, the counsel
for the new company. The first docu
ment is a release from Sir Frank Crisp
of London, England, and Samuel Unit
meyer, of New York to the Harney Peak
company of certain membranes and
the fee to mining properties. The other
documents are deeds to integral parts
of the property from the Farmers Loan
and Trust Co., of New York, George
Ehret, Theodore L. Herman, Charles
Remsen and Emita NJ. Levi all of New
York to the Pahasa Mining Co. The
grantors in these deeds are the judgment
creditors against the Harney Peak Co.,
who purchased the property about a
year ago at a sheriff's sale, which took
place OH the porch of the court house.
The recording of the documents places
title to all of the property of the old
company in the new company. At the
time Of the sale attorneys representing
the New York judgment creditors stated
that the new company proposed to de.
velop the mines and make the com.
pany second only to the Homestake
enterprise. Much development work
has been carried on during the past
year and it is now understood that &C.
tual mining of metals will be com
menced at an early date.-Rapid City
