STATE MAKES GAINS
Will Result in an Additional Congress
ional District in West
Virginia.

Census inklings CLEANED from un.
official sources, but from indications
which are perfectly reliable, show be
yond question that, based on the ce1.
sus returns of 1910, West Virginia
viii be entitled to an additional con
gresham; and that from somewhere
in the galaxy of ffty-five counties
which now comprise the state, Mill be
carved, the Sixth Congressional dis.
trict.
For three. years it had been con.
coded that the change in population
centers would be such as to necessi-
tate a Encouragement of COMPRESSION
al boundaries, but until much more
recently there was no positive assur-
ance that the state would show a
population sufficient to entitle 1t to an
additional Congressman.
There is at present, however. in
formation obtainable which teaches
beyond question that such will be the
case. And one of the remarkable
things which will be shown when the
figures are made public will be the
fact that the twelve counties com.
prising the FIFTH Congressional dis.
trict have had q greater growth than
any other twelve contiguous counties
in the state, and that the cities and
towns in the Fifth district have shared
the same growth.
This increase will be in no small
degree the natural family increase
in the farming districts of Cabeil
Wayne. Mason, Lincoln and Putnam
and the same increase in the less
populous countries Of the mountainous
Fart of the district. But the remark.
able thing about the showing will be
the increase which will be traceable
directly to the developments which
have been in the coal and timber
counties. II is a conservative esti.
mate to say that Mingo county's pop
ulation has trebled; that McDowelrs
has trebled; that MERGERS has doubled
once and a half; that Raleigh's has
more than doubled, and that all the
other counties In the district have
had population increases varying
from fifty to more than one hundred
per cent.
Bluefeld and Williamson will have
more than double in population, and,
it is not rash to predict that the
figures will show Williamson TO have
trebled. Huntington will show re-
markableg rowth. Taken all in all
the twelve counties of the Fifth dis
trict will, without reference to the re-
maineder of the 1fty-fve, show more
than half the increase necessary to
be shown in the whole state in order
to insure an additional representative
in the lower house.
The problem Of Encouragement will
probably come mp in 1911, but may be
deferred until 1912.

oo,ooo,o 900 MORE WAGES.
Advances Made All Over the Country
Amount to Enormous Sum.

NftfOhHt W Ei0l ttOdS O0ftfs
The railway wage advances, already
made or to be made before the end
OF the year, are now estimated at
500, 000, 900 for the entire country.
This is the figure given by President
Brown, OF the New York Central. It
the details OF which have not yet
been settled.
Calculated on the Interstate Com
merce Commission statistics as a ba-
sis, the wages paid TO railway EN-
pIoyes, under the new scale. viii
amount to s1.227,23a3 900 a year. This
Is arrived at by estimating the operae-
ing expenses of the present fiscal year
from the monthly reports now avail
able; applying the percentage of la
Dor cost to total operating expenses
in 1908, the latest year for which
wage figures have been published;
and adding the 800, 000. 900 estimat-
ed advance in wages this year.
The 1922, 233,001 which, It is es-
timated, viii be paid out TO employees
annually under the new scale, com
pared with 81, 072. 1856 900 in the fiscal
year 1907, the year which holds the
record for the volume Of railway
business.
Wages on the railroads were not
reduced after the 1907 panic. so that
this years advances are on Top OF
those which were made in 1908 and
the early part of 1907. The proper.
ton of labor cost TO total operating
expenses has increased stadily for
several years.

AUTO DEALERS AID IN
GOOD ROADS CAMPAIGN
W. D. Rishel Tells How Work for
Better Highways Is Being Fur
thered by Motorists.

The Utah Automobile Dealers asso-
citation is lending every support posi-
BILE to the state good roads movement.
In referring to the subject in a general
way, w. d. Rishel says:
'As the use OF the automobile is daily
extended into more sparsely settled dis
tricts. IL becomes evident that the con-
tinued popularity of the motor car in
such sections will depend to a large
extent upon the nature OF the roads.
People viii not be likely 10 buy cars in
increasing numbers from year to year
unless they find that their neighbors,
who have already purchased, can con-
veniently use their machines for con-
siderable part Of the year.
While, fortunately, in many parts
of the country the soil is of such a ma
ture that the natural dirt roads dry
out rather quickly in the spring. and
stay in a fairly paSsabie condition until
quite late in the fall, there are a great
many sections where the autoing is
really good only for a short time in
where the roads are among the worst
the farmers are well-to-do, could at
ford autos, and would undoubtedly buy
many more than they do If they could
use them for d longer season.
1T would seem, therefore, as though
the continued rapid extension Of the
motor car industry will to a consider
the good roads movement There is no
doubt but what every automobile sold
aids this movement but II will be of
the utmost benefit to the industry if
every one connected with 1t viii do all
ne can to help the cause along"

AUTO ACCESSORIES MEN FORM BIG COMBINATION
AUTO OWNERS HAVE
NEW TIRE SOLUTION
Put On Pneumatic Tubes of Greater
Size Than Makers Recon-
mend; Find It Pays.

One of the tendencies of automobile
buyers this season is to demand tires
size or more larger than those rec
commended by the makers of the car,
according to Manager j. H Kelly of
the Republic Tire concern, the idea
being to anticipate greater weight
than the automobile builder regards
as likely to be experienced
Increased size in tires" said Mr..
Kelly, means extra expense at first
but experience demonstrates that the
future saving warrants the first ex-
penditure. Anyway, buyers who have
previously owned machines are almost
a unit in demanding tires OF greater
cubic area than the stock equipment
Car builders evidently have been in
the habit of figuring the weight of the
car alone. without sufficient allow
ance for the load an enthusiastic owner
may desire to carry. Maybe the own
ers are overlooking their cars and per-
haps unconsciously running some other
portion Of the machine, but they GER
tainly have solved the tire problem.

The Live Map is a revolving card

and tenths of a mile (about ITO yards
to a division). On the other frame is
a hand or pointer. The map is set by
a screw when starting to the place on

the automobile moves the map revolves
slowly under the pointer. At the end
of 100 miles a new map is put on which
shows the continuation of the hour.
