COLONEL ROOSEVELT has been
I much impressed by the evidences
of the engineering skill of the an
cient Egyptians. Stone collins twelve
feet in height and ten in length, weigh
ing between sixty and seventy tons
were carried to tomb-caves and then
conveyed along narrow corridors and
put in place. Nay more. in the con-
struction of the pyramids blocks Of
stone, each as large as a good-sized
modern building. were taken from
quarries and conveyed over miles of
rough country, or, perhaps, in some
cases RATED down the Nile.
Now the Egyptians were not miracle
workers. 1t stands to reason that
they had a method of rock quarrying,
transportation and handling of enor-
nous blocks. of which method all
traces have been lost. Even after the
blocks were brought from the quarries
even after that seeming miracle had
been accomplished-they had to be
squared into symmetrical proportions
and adjusted in various sizes to fit the
gradually decreasing angles of the
pyramid, and as the work progressed
blocks had to be hoisted to a great
height and placed with absolute exact
ness.
Colonel Roosevelt is correct Among
all the wonders of Egypt none gives
more food for thought to us conceited
moderns than the evidences of the SUI
perior engineering skill of the Egyp-
tians, who in the course of the days
work could perform feats that for us
with all our expert mechanical ability,
would be impossible.

added that the proportion it allows to
the labor and brains which create it is
disgracefully inadequate. AS soon as it
can be proved that captains of industry
can be successful without the co-ope-
ration of thousands of their fellow men,
it may be admitted labor is not en-
titled to a square-deal share in the
results of it's activity; but not till

pointed to consider the advisabillty OF
purchasing an auto hose truck That
committee consists of H. p. Thorn
chairman, A. d. Darby. secretary and
treasurer. Captain w. p. Caskey, ]. p
Talhelm and Vernon Carton. Messrs
Thorn and Darby are associate mem
bers of the company.
Last night the committee made a re
port to the company aud the whole
mater was thoroughly eanvassed. The
result was that the company decided
to buy an automobile hose wagon oil
truck to carry from 500 TO 1000 feet OF
hose and other necessary equipment
at cost of about $500
1t was pointed out that the present
hose reel Is heavy, cumbersome and
antiquated. and besides is regular
man-Nller to pull. So there il every
reason for wanting a new rig, and the
boys wisely decided to get something
up-to-date while they are about 1t.
The company has some money In
the treasury, but pretty large sum
additional Is needed to pay for the
proposed equipment So it was de
cided last night to hold bazaar

Cd four years ago and at that time DIR.
Frederick II. Millener was engaged
to conduct a line OF experiments with
the view OF investigating the subject
from the standpoint OF the railroad
man.
From the first the results we're SO
gratifying that he received all posi-
BILE encouragement from the manage

he has developed great number OF
new features. making the system en-
tlrely suitable for the PURPOSES or

hand when the signal towers along
the length OF the line will be aban-

details at this time. but he saws that

OF West Virginia has always pursued
the policy OF limiting tax levies. II
the limit was exceeded no one seemed
to have enough interest in such mat
tiers to enforce the law. Beginning
with 1905 the law made 1t the duty Of
the tax commissioner to see that no
levying body exceeded the limit. In
one year the department reduced
more than 100 excessive and Illegal
Ievies. In some Instances IL had to be
done by mandamus from the courts,
but since the first years experience
there has been little trouble from this
source. The department passes upon
every levy laid in the state for everv
purpose, and they are kept well within
the law. Our present law rate has re-
suited largely from the active and
vigorous work of the department in
the matter OF laying levies.
West Virginia had long felt the
need, OF only of a more equitable
system OF taxation, but some sort OF
central supervision of the expenditure
OF taxes after they were collected. In
1908, the legislature enacted what is
commonly known az the Uniform
System of Accounting Act The en-
f0rcement OF this law is under the
supervision of the tax department
The act did not go into effect until
January 1, 1909. NO difficulty has
been experienced in getting the act
in proper running shape. The audits
that have already been made under
this act justify the wisdom of such
legislation. This piece OF Legislation
