Big Landslide on c. & O.

For some days last week the c. Il o.
Ry. had been contending with mon
ster landslide near Anthony, in Green
brier county, w. Va. The break start
ed on the side of deep cut at a poin t
125 yards from the track, and the track
and sidings were blocked to depth of
40 feet over q width of 100 feet. A
hundred men and steam shovel have
been working day and night to clear
the track, but as fast as the material
was removed great avalanches of dirt,
rocks, roots, stumps and trees came
tumbling down the steep hill, threat
ening at times to overwhelm both men
and steam shovel. Passengers, mail
and express have been transferred, but
the freight service has been crippled.
Several big mills had to close down on
account of car shortage, and old rail
road men say they never saw q worse
slide.

A VICTIM OF PERSECUTION

The suicide of Mr.. Jared A. Jones of
Highland county, startled the people
of this county almost as much as those
Of Highland. The causes which led to
the tragedy are not fully known, but
we learn that with a sensitive nature,
accutely feeling aspersions aimed at
his good name, involved in a feud
growing out of unfortunate business
relations, harrassed by ceasless efforts
to discredlt him as business man,
and as a man of probity, honesty and
fairdealing, he could no longer stand
the strain. A chord broke, link in
reason parted, and the sad story is
known, it has been told as words can.
not tell it-told in awful reality. How
happy those persons may be, who
helped him across the river is moi
known.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
that contain Mercury,


as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on pre-
scriptions from physicians, as the
damage they will do is ten fold to the
good you can possibly derive from
them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
O., contains no mercury, and is taken
internally, acting directly upon the

THEY KISSED MR.. TAFT,

The suffragists met in Washington
last week. They invited Mr.. Taft to
deliver an address Of welcome. There
were seven hundred of them, and Mr..
Taft went to their meeting and well
coined the whole seven hundred to the
National capital. With a lack of di-
plomacy which Mr.. Taft seems to en-
joy, ne told these ladies that he did not
agree with them. Once when a mere
callow youth, he had delivered a col
lege Grafton adopting the side of the
sufifagists but he had grown wiser
with time. Thereupon there were
Misses and cat calls. The President is
said to have blushed. He redeemed
pereeptably we are told, but stood his
ground remarkably well for man of
his age, and made some effort at re-
tort. The newspapers have made eff
forts way beyond those of the president
to work this retort into most scathing
rebuke. They have not been altogether
successful. What the president did
say calculated to wither these bold,
impolite females, we know not. What
the newspapers report that he said
varies so widely that we will not I'M
dertake to report it. 1t now seems
that the presidents first speech was
Missed. His last one surely was. Hav-
ing made speeches on both sides OF
this question, and having been Kissed
both times, it is safe to say the presi-
dent and the suffragists will not be
found hobnobbinG in future, and it is
doubtful whether reception was Civ
en- them at the White House.

A stranger entered the store of mer-

for making his safe fireproof or burglar

show that his safe was impregnable

THE PUDDING IS HOT.

There is some backing and filling
with reference to the acceptance by
Mr.. Richard Evlyn Byrd of the posi-
ton as Special Counsel, to which he
was so graciously appointed by Cover
nor Mann. The thing for Mr.. Byrd to
do is not to accept it. Still this Will
not clear his skirts nor those OF the
Governor. This thing will always sa-
vor Of . job. The pesky little pepper
was too hot after Mr.. Byrd got it in his
mouth, SO he has been seized with the
desire to do with it, as the dog did with
the hot dumping.
If this be the result of pure mind,
and higher appreciation of the moral
obligations resting on him, we are con-
tent. We fear, however, seeing that
his hand was in the pudding, that the
original conception was largely his,
that from the beginning he saw fat
job In the package which he would
open, and he would appropriate it at
the right time. The opening has prov
On q Pandora's box. The press of near
~ the whole State has lambasted him
and it, and that other 1t the Governor,
until they are said to be in doubt and
uncertainty as to what to do. The
whole bevy of them is stampeded.
A special from Richmond to the
Roanoke Times says:
There are very many persons, close
friends of Speaker Richard E. Byrd,
who are anxiously hoping that he will
see the improperly, as they see it, of
accepting the appointment as special
State attorney. These gentlemen-and
some of them are high State officials
declare that if Mr.. Byrd accepts the
position he will end mis- political career
and embarrass the administration.
Not man who has spoken on the
subject who does not recognize the wis
dom of Governor Mann in naming Mr..
Byrd and obtaining for the State the
services of lawyer of reputation and
ability, but they do not want to see
Mr.. Byrd lost to the State as polite
ian, his usefulness impaired or to have
him retired.
This article is truthful in some res
poets, laughable in others, but al
through shows the alarm of friends
and their desire to hedge.
1t says if Mr.. Byrd accepts he will
end his political career. That is laugh
able. The present organization grow
strong on jobs. Why should not TIL
Big Four be strengthened by this one
carrying as it does s., OOG salary?
Again it says it Will embarrass tn
administration. "After me the del
uge," says the Governor. Four year
will end his career, jobs or no jobs, an
he knows it, so it is funny to hear G
embarrassment. "All recognize tn
wisdom of the appointment" Is
possible? Now as to REPUTATION.
He has a reputation, legal or othel
wise, we are free to admit, but as t
ability? There are Others. When
however, they say the State does nc
want to lose him as politician, the
it is time to guffaw. This one episod
if there were none other, ought to los
him, indeed he is now lost to man
right thinking people.

Since Staunton went dry her treasu-
ry has enjoyed deficit of about $1,000
the amount she had to refund to the
liquor dealers. She needs $14, 900, the
amount to which the failure to grant
license has reduced her revenues. An
effort to make bond issue of 81, OOC
to cover the amount has recently failed
in the council. Now something must
be done. TAXES MUST BE INCREASED.
This will likely be done, as Dsnville
did. The tax rate will be left the
same, but the assessment will be in.
creased. For instance Staunton man
may find his property suddenly jump
in value. A piece of property worth
yesterday $1O,O according to an as
sessment, will today be worth $4,000
by the same rule. Thus at the dullest
period of Staunton's business in years
many will find property values aG-
vanced, and taxes thereby increased.

With their farms yielding large
profits, money in the banks, and liv-

white men, Indians of the Colville
Reservation along the Okanogan Riv-
er have become valuable citizens to
the State of Washington. according
to Captain John Webster, Indian
agent of the Spokane ana Colville
reservation, who has just returned
from delivering $4,000 to the red
skins. They money was received from
the Great Northern Railroad for a
right-of-way through their lands.
1--WE are trying to impress upon the
Indians the value of farming" said
Captain Webster. Many of them are
taking to it kindly and have better
farms than the white men. At Bon
ners Ferry, the authorities say, the
Indians are more tractable than the
white men and give less trouble.

particularly prosperous. More farm
ing machinery is being sold on the
reservation than ever before, and the
majority are abandoning their print

TEN MILLION FRUIT
PACKAGES
Spokane Company Makes
Estimate on Fruit Yield
This Year.
Photo by American Press Association

The Ryan-Newton company reports
that throughout the Inland Empire
mills are working day and night on
apple, peach, cherry, plum and berry
boxes, more than 100000 of
which, each holding so pounds, will
be required to pack the fruit crop
in Eastern Washington and Oregon,
North and Central Idaho, Western
Montana and Southeastern British
Columbia this summer and fall.
Packed with fruit these packages
would fill 1858 freight cars, or
625 trains of Is cars each. The
value of the crop is estimated at
from $15,000,000 to $20,000,O00,
and may reach a higher figure be-
cause of the shortages reported in
middle western states. Fully 3.000,-
900 boxes will be delivered to orch
ardists in the Wenatchee valley in
Central Washington, and it is pre-
dicted that not fewer than 100000
boxes will be used in the Yakima
valley. Walla Walla and Okanogan
valleys will take up to 100000
boxes, while the berry and tree fruit
growers in the upper Columbia coun-
try say their orchards will run at
least 100000 boxes A million box
es will be delivered in the Palouse
district in Southeastern Washington
and Western Idaho, the Spokane and
Blue Mountain country and st. Mar
las valleys and other nearby points.
Other belts in Washington and Ore
gan have orders in for 100000
boxes. Reports from the fruit belts
in the Clearwater country, in North
ern Idaho. and the Bitter Root coun-
try, in Western Montana. are that
the outlook is bright for record
yields of apples and other fruit and
predictions this year that the crop
will be the largest in the history of
the country, also that records will be
made in peaches and cherries. Grow
ers in the southeastern part of the
province of British Columbia report
that every indication is that the ap-
pie crop will be larger this year than
ever before in the history of the in
dustry.
