New Freight Yards at Cumbo
and Handsome Station for
Martinsburg.

Officials of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, the Pennsylvania Railroad and
the Cumberland Valley Railroad, after a
conference held in Martinsburg recently.
determined to locate the long proposed
freight yards at Cumbo, two miles west
OF Martlnsburg, at the point where the
Cumberland Valley and the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroads connect, and it is
said by the officials that the work on
this important improvement will be
begun as soon as the weather conditions
permit. The yards will be about one
mile in length and will have from twelve
to IS tracks, and will be the largest be-
tween Baltimore and the Ohio River
The cost is estimated at $500, 1000.
In connection with other improvements
10 be made by the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad at this point an effort is being
made by the members of the Martins
burg Board of Trade, aided by a num-
Der OF business men, to secure the erec-
ton OF a new passenger depot to cost
100000. Recently a delegation of 20
business men, members OF the Board of
Trade, headed by Colonel Stuart w.
Wachter, and others, visited Baltimore
and submitted the question of a new
passenger station there to Vice-Presi.
dent Pc ter, and that official assured
them that such building could be ex-
pected within short time, and that he
would send an engineer at once to survey
the ground.

Annual Report of State Comp
troller Herring.

The annual report of the Comptroller
of the Treasury was submitted to the
legislature. 1t shows that the gross re-
celpts were S., 400, Io4 o. The receipts.
while less in some respects, show an in
crease in the aggregate over the receipts
of the wear previous of 1886, $40 81, main
lv from the following sources: HIGH
liouor licenses from Baltimore city, S27S.
o72.oo; State roads loan, $40, $50; collat-
eral inheritance tax, SI46, 24o S5-aggre-
eating So62, 1862 ga.
There must be eliminated, however
from the above statement" says the re-
port. the increase of $40, $50, since this
sum is represented by the proceeds of the
sale of bonds for State roads and cannot
be used bv the State for current expenses
but is specifically dedicated for the CON
struction of State roads.
"The increase of S275.o72.oo from
high LIQUOR licenses from Baltimore CITY
is also worthy Of explanation, inasmuch
as three-fourths of this sum is returned to
Baltimore city, leaving a net increase to
the State of only SoS,eo3.o2. Chapter Io6
of the acts of the General Assembly of
zoos known as the High License LIQUOR
Law of Baltimore City, has now been in
operation two years, a sufficient time in
which to Judge of its efficiency as a reve-
nue. measure. By the provisions of said
act the cost Of such licenses was raised
from $3.50 to $500 for the year 1908 and to
$50 for the year 1900.
"The expenditures of the State. ex-
elusive of the funds accounts and the
acts Of assembly authorizing such pay
ments, amounting to $3.50, 6-7 .4S, or
the largest sum ever disbursed bv the
State for like period, exceed that of
last year by S67I,2o So, and of the
year previous by $I,I7o, ,S24.4I While
our ordinary receipts have shown small
but steady increase, yet the demands
upon the treasury have far exceeded such
revenues. The balance in the treasury
proper September 80, 1909, was ST., 32S :
o6o. &c, or in excess of that of the year
previous by $So,4I7.26, nevertheless the
specific funds chargeable against said bal
ance are the largest ever carried down.
1.-The funded debt of the State aggre-
gates S6,7IS,926. or in excess Of that of
the year previous by $64o, 900. This in
crease is represented by the amount of
bonds sold during the year on account of
the new State road loan, chapter I4I OF
the acts of 1908.
"The net debt of the State at the close
of the fiscal year, September 80, 1909 is
shown to be $67o,e76 Al, or an increase OF
S3I3,332. so, SO that while the gross debt
was increased during the year by 500, 600,
yet by reason of the investments for the
sinking funds in the States own secur-
tiles, the increase in the net debt OF
the State was only $343,332 so.
The assessable basis of the State for
1909 was $3.50, ,S3I,339."

Per Capita Wealth.

In 1850 the wealth of the United
States was $1,000, ,ooo, 900, or about $3o7
to the person. In 1904 these figures had
increased respectively to SIo7, 900, 900, 600,
and SI,3Io Or in other words, the per
capita wealth is over four times greater
than it was so years ago. But it is not
possible that contentment has increased
a particle. This is simply because that
the more one has the more he wants to
have. Possessions increase ones de-
sire.
But there is another consideration that
renders useless this explanation. 1t is
quite probable that a great proportion
OF this increase from $1,000 600, 900 to
SIo7, 900, 600. 900 has gotten into the
hands OF few, and while the average
might figure up fI,3Io. the actual pos
sessions may not have changed much
from what they were in 1850 They have
no doubt increased some, but the mil
lionaires and multi-milionaires have
increased faster. The increase of wealth
in the hands of few is not sign of
health and hope. Ohio State Journal.

American Agriculturist Presents
Some Interesting Statistics.

Nearly one million new farms have
been created in the United States during
the past 10 years, says the American Ag-
rlculturist, in an exhaustive census inves-
tlgation of farm interests throughout the
United States.
In the last 10 years, the total number
OF farms has increased Is per cent. In
the older States from Ohio eastward
there has been going on for 40 years
tendency toward the amalgamation of
farms distant from markets into large
holdings.
There are now almost three times as
many farms as in 1870 and an unprece-
dented increase in the value of farm
lands and live stock is the even more
momentous fact revealed bylthis inquiry.
The land in farms with their buildings.
improvements and live stock is TODAY
almost $50, 900, 900, 900, gam of ID per
cent III 10 years.
Present values are 21l times the farm
values of 80 years ago. In The North
Central States, the increase in the value
OF farms is 43 per cent in the North At

Miss Mossburg was most talented

ton, and had many friends. She was
employed by the M. Grove Lime Com
pany as stenographer. and had the con-
fldence and esteem of her employers.
She was most painstaking in her daily
avocation and her delight was to please
all. During her illness she was very
hopeful, and expected to recover, her
future seemed SO bright and she was
ambitious, but at last realizing that her
days were numbered, she bowed to the
will of Him who knoweth and doeth all
things well, she expired, saying, "this
is glorious day for me-" Her funeral

The Postal Deficit p"

1t is possible-perhaps it is probable
that the PosIofiice Department will
always show "dehcit'' at the end of
each fiscal year. The reason is that the
postal service is an agency of promotion
and development. There are processes
that never show dividends upon the
primal outlay, but properly considered
they are sound Investments The postal
business must be considered as a whole.
The printed matter carried in the mails
at a loss" Of sos, 900, 600 created as a
result of its circulation large part of the
letters whose postage yielded profit
of $50, 600, 900. All reading, as do all
other processes Of education, tends to
create the letter writing habit, which is
further stimulated by advertising. The
costliest route in the West or in some
region of new development tends to in.
crease the profitable" mail business
transacted in the centers of population
and industry. The so ocalled deficit is
under 10 per cent. Of the total business Of
the department, and the ratio has not
increased during the past dozen years.
despite the addition Of the rural free de
livery.
The activity Of the postoffice is part
Of the work of public education and the
wide diffusion of intelligence. Economy
and efficiency are constantly needed in
the postal service, because it is living
agency of civilization and is steadily
growing. Its expenditures should be
watched with care. The newspaper de-
livery costs little, being mainly that of the
short haul. The longer haul Of pretended
periodicals" adds to this expenditure.
The express companies have the profit
able short haul. If there were a parcel
post department would have both classes.
The postal service must be considered as
an agency for the education, convenience
and development of all the people of the
United States, without regard to their
places ofresidence.- Washington Herald.

Suppose the conspirators stea! 1t, It VIII
be no worse than the Stealings that are
authorized to be done under the present
Taft Tariff Bill. BY that bill the special
interests are authorized to steal more
than ever before under any other Tariff
Bill. even efter Mr.. Taft promised that
the tariff should be reduced. But 1t is
all the fault or mistake of the people.
They go to the polls and vote to con-
tinue these men and the Republican
party in power, and it looks as if the
robbery will have to go on until the peo-
pie are so poor that there will be nothing
more TO be stolen. So why squabble
about the public lands? Just as well
steal the public lands as to force the
people uniustly to pay two prices for
their clothes, and nearly everything that
they have to buy, to enrich the
manufacturers.
II is only different form of robbery
but in results, it is the same.

THE decision handed down by the
United States Supreme Court on Monday
confirming the power of the Interstate
Commerce Commission TO regulate the
distribution OF fuel cars is calculated to
make the managers of the Pennsylvania
railroads sit up and take notice There
are few railroads in the State that are not
coal carriers. Fuel car-whether owned
bv the carrying companies, or by coal
companies or other shippers-are held by
the Supreme Court to be instruments of
commerce, the proper distribution of
which may be rightfully determined and
regulated by the Inter state Commerce
Commissian The decision is likely to
bring about important changes in the
methods OF coal distribution, greatly to
the advantage of independent producers.
