May Build New Railway.

Members of the W. Va. Pulp & Paper
Company have been visiting their
holdings in W. Va, on Cheat noun
tain. and in speaking of the trip the
Eikins Inter Mountain says:
That reminds that the spruce is fast
disappearing from West Virginia.
We are informed that practically all
of the spruce has been cut and re-
moved on what is known as the Dew
ing tract on Cheat Mountain, from
the Pocahontas side, and more than
10, 600 acres on the Randolph county
side, and there are now one thousand
men work in the woods in that re.
gion
We are..informed that the West Vir-
ginia Pulp and Paper Company will
soon start the building of railroad
from Cheat Mountain to its lands on
the waters of Elk river. just which
way the road will be built, we are
not informed, but as it has between
80, 900 ami 40, 600 acres of land on the
waters of Elk river, it naturally fol-
ows that it will build as good, if not
better, railroad to the Elk holdings,
as it has to it's Cheat mountain hold
ms. Some of the cut over lands on
Cheat Mountain have been burned
over by fire, which killed all the
young spruce, and they are now en-
gagged in transplanting young spruce
to the burnt grouna. and by so doing
expect to retimber that country.

HARRIS ACQUITTED

Manassas Va June 18-Prof. ]. r.
Harris. of Warrenton, was acquitted
at Manassas yesterday for the Staying
Of W A. Thompson, Associate Editor
of the Warrenton Virginian, in Sep
tember 1908.
The tragedy grew out Of personal
attack made on the teacher on the
streets of Warrenton and plea of self
defense was made in justification OF
the crime.
For some time prior to the killing
bad blood had existed between the
two men and the sentiment of Fau-
quier county was so intense and divid-
ed that a change of venue was had,
and the: second trial was held in
Prince William county.
Harris is North Carolinian, and
at one time taught school in Stras-
burg.

..wte IS ylcroRe"

The Taft railroad bill is now the law
of the land. There is no joy expressed
at the White House over its passage,
nor have the railroads put off fire
works over their victory. But they
have won victory. Not the victory
they hoped to win, because they ex.
pected an Austerlitz or a Waterloo, not
their Waterloo, but the peoples. 1t
came not, but it gave them the advan-
tango in part sought, of putting their
chickens under the wing of the FEEDER
vi hen. Congress refused TO legalize
traffic agreements between the rail-
roads subject to the approvals Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission. In
this the railroads lost. This was one
pet scheme that even the prayers and
tears of the administration could not
get engrafted in the bill. Another lost
point to the railroads was that of i'm.
posing on the railroads the burden Of
proving that the rate made is fail
one, and pending an appeal to the new
Court on Commerce, or the U. 3. Su.
preme Court, all shippers must be full
ly protected. This was hard blow.
All increases of rates must receive the
sanction or disapprOval of the Com
mere Commission. Just now there il
a disposition on the part of railroads te
increase rates on most everything, and
that commission is likely to be over
worked for a while. But as there car
be no appeal until after the commits
sion decides, the roads are the losers.
The railroads, however, know they
have won, and after awhile the people
will see it, and they will find to theil
sorrow that corporations did not spend
their money electing a president fol
nothing. The tariff bill was the first
great corporate victory; this bill will
undoubtedly prove their second.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have q rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, I'M

and this tube restored to its normal
conditions, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous sur

THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

So important and far reaching is the
return of Mr.. Roosevelt to the United
States that the leading journals are
deyoting the larger part of their space
to him, whether friendly or inimical.
The Literary Digest calls its June 18th
Roosevelt Number. This is
but sounding the same note as all
others throughout the country. Since
this remarkable person left the White
House little over one year ago, and
sought to hide himself in the jungles
of Africa, he has been the most talked
OF man this, or most any other country
for that matter, has ever known. Ger
tainly the most cussed and discussed
American who has ever left our shores.
1t is needless to say that he is an ordi-
nary man, and it is wasting breath to
say he is dangerous man. 1t is also
idle to say he is meteoric, and will soon
burn out. The public will have none
of 1t.
He has now visited most great ma
lions. He has received unheard OF
honors in all. In Egypt he stirred the
bones of the Pharoahs, and shook the
foundations of the Pyramids. In
Rome he drew such crowds as we hear
of never, except in the mystic history
of the Olympic games. He fairly
seemed 10 rehabilitate the deserted am
phitheater, and he spread to dimensions
too broad TO enter the gates of the Va
tican. In Paris he was crowned by
the Academy of Moral and Political
Sciences, he lectured in the Sarbonne,
he reviewed the French army, and
visited the tomb of Napoleon. The
official heads of the nation paid hin.
royal honors, and he was the ..rage" Of
the Republic.
In Germany 'she kept the Emperor
waiting" he was shown the German
army, an honor never before accorded
civilian, and received many and I'M
usual attentions.
In Austria he received similar hon
ors. In Holland, at Copenhagen, at
Stockholm, in Christiania, in Brussels,
he was easily the most welcome of all
the great men who have been there in
years.
Then he went to England. The
King had just died, SO festivities and
fetes were impossible, but he entered
Guild Hall, a sacred and exclusive
place; he told the English how to con
duct their affairs. He visited theil
universities and there was accorded
honors, degrees indeed, which only
those who have lifted themselves into
the rarified atmosphere where few
nortals breathe, are accorded.
Now he returns. A nation awaited
his coming. Thousands upon top o.
thousands went to ''meet and greet
him, and many millions look on in
wonder,as to what he may find for his
hands to do. Few there be, however
who do not shout welcome.

MR.. DoLLIvER'S SPEECH.

The speech of the Hon. Jonathan r.
Dolliver, of Iowa, in the Senate on the
18th, is one of the most remarkable de-
livered there in years. Its effect is so
keenly felt that the administration Or
gans have not printed word from it,
further than such portions as the Asso-
ciated Press chose to send out. Not a
word of comment has been heard of it
from them, not because it is unworthy,
by no means; but lest the people hear
of it and grow anxious to read it, and
become educated thereby. Mr.. Dolli-
yer is life long republican. He has
fought for party and principles for
years. He was strong supporter of
Mr.. Taft in the last election both be-
fore and after his nomination, but he
had no idea that his administration
would sell out body and soul to corpo-
rations. Yet he says it has, and his
arraignment was SO severe that it cut
to the quick, and every republican SEN
ator sat in his seat unwilling to inter-
ject question, and every one has sat
there since unwilling to attempt re-
ply. AS it is, the administration has
gone undefended, and will 20 SO in SO far
as direct denial of Senator Delivers
speech is concerned, and especially
in SO far as any direct denial of some
charges is concerned. 1t was a terri
BILE arrangement. Coming from dem
ocrat it would have been bad enough.
Coming from republican in high
standing i: was terrific. 1t voices the
sentiment of the Middle West, which
is that the people have nothing to ex-
pect from the dominant party as row
differed. They must look to a new
third party, as the democrats seem
helpless and hopeless. The following
excerpt from Mr.. Delivers speech has
been much enjoyed:
'.Last year witnessed two important
hoaxes," continued Mr.. Dolliver, 'sthe
discovery of the north pole by DR..
Cook and the revision of the tariff
downward by Senator Aldrich.u
When the laughter which greeted this
remark had died out he added, "Exec.
utlve Fluctuations have been rendered
upon both events.
