IRE BUNKERS SET NEW RECORD

was installed and is giving the most satisfactory results. Other improve ments have been made and will con tinue to be made until the White Pass & Yukon bunkers will have an average handling capacity of 200 tons or more of ore per hour,
 This will be the last shipment of ore this winter, as the operations at the mines will be devoted to develop ment work. to enable the employment of more men for the coming season, as the work would now necessitate working the men in the open, and as the climate is too cold, 1t is the i'm teRtioR of Manager Greenough to drive more tunnels so as to afford a greater surface of the ore body to be available, and thus give protection to the miners while at work.
 Shipping will be resumed early in the spring,
 The steamship Edith cleared from this port at F o'clock midnight for Tacoma.

The large barn on the farm belonging
to the heirs of the late Samuel H. Miller,
a couple of miles east of ShepherdStown,
on the Maryland side OF the river, was
entirely destroyed by fire Tuesday alter
noon. The farm is tenanted by Newton
Rohrer. The fire was discovered be-
tween three and four O'Clock, but it had
such Roadway then that it was impossible
TO save the barn. A horse, a COW and a
calf that were in the barn at the time were
burned TO death, and the farm machinery
and quantity Of corn and hay were also
DESTROYED. The fire made tremendous
blaze, and the reflection could still be
seen from here long after dark. The barn
was insured for ST 800, and the tenant had
an insurance OF $500 on the contents.

Back From Washington.

The Register inadvertently omitted in
its last issue to mention the interesting
fact that its longtime friend, James Law
renee McChan, has returned from Wash
ington. II will be recalled that about two
months ago Lawrence once more shook
the dust of Shepherdstown from his feet
forever, this time going to the capital city
TO make his permanent home. The fact
that he remained six weeks shows that
he was in earnest this time, for this is the
longest period that he has ever remained
away from Shepherdstown, even includ-
ing the famous Kansas City trip. Mr..
McChan found in Washington position
with the street-car company, being en-
gagged Unlocking after the cars when they
came in from their hourly trips. He was
willing to start at the bottom OF the ladder,
for he knew that the top was there, and
he was assured by his friends that he had
right to aspire to be general manager or
even the president OF the company. But
though he worked hard and made many
friends at the car-barn by his mastery
recitationS and stump speeches, promo
lions came very slowly. Indeed, the only
promotion that he received during the en-
tire month was 10 be transferred from
day job to night work. After trying the
latter place for week or more, Lawrence
found it most uncongenial OF course,
under the circumstances, he was obliged
to decline all inyitations for evening func-
tionS, and his dress suit hung in the clos
ct undisturbed. He felt like throwing up
his Job when the President gave him an
urgent invitation TO attend dinner given
to the diplomatic corps, the AhkOOnd of
Swat having expressed a desire to meet
him but which he could not accept be-
cause the boss refused to let him off. The
President didn't like it, and the old-time
friendS-Mr. Taft and Mr.. McChan-Came
near having words. But Lawrence still
remained at his post until Friday. Then
when he got the Register and began to
read OF the attractions Of the country he
weakened. Butchering time was here,
and pudding and sausage were sizzling;
rabbits were making easy tracks in the
snow; Christmas trees were rlpening; he
could hear the murmur Of the town run
as it rippled past his door; he thought of
that warm stove in Bakers store on
snowy day; he longed for the familiar
faces at the postoffice when mail was be-
ing opened, the gossip at Hodges corner,
the exchange OF sentiments at the old no.
tel, the appreciative friends all over town
who always found time to listen TO hiSeX-
periences-oh, well, what was the use OF
living so far away He persuaded his
good wife to pack up next day, he sent
his goods homeland he's back, back in
ShepherdStown.

Mr.. Henry Cookus, a former resident
of Shepherdstown, spent couple ofdays
here this week with his daughter, Mrs.
Ida Chapline, having come from Norris
town, Pa, where he had been visiting his
son, Mr.. Atwell Cookus. Mr.. Cookus is
now in his 80th year, but is active and
well preserved, and remembers very dis
tinctly many striking incidents and events
OF town history 60 to 70 years ago. He
recalled hearing his elders tell of the visit
made to his uncle, Michael CookuS, by
General George Washington. Michael
Cookus, who was Revolutionary soldier
and famous man with sword, once
saved Washington's life. The General
was sore beset by some British soldiers,
when Michael Cookus, seeing his peril,
spurred his horse into the melee and with
a sweep of his sword almost cut from the
shoulders the head OF one OF the enemy.
He placed his own horse at Washington's
disposal, and then they cut their way to
safety. General Washington never for
got this service, and after the war jour
neyed to Shepherdstown in gig and tried
to persuade Mr.. Cookus TO return with
him TO his estate in Virginia. Michael,
who had mind OF his own, declined,
however, and ended his days in Shep-
herdstown. The house in which Mr..
Cookus lived at the time, and where he
entertained General Washington, is still
standing. 1t remained in the CookuS
family for many years, but was finally
sold. Henry Magaha lived in it until a
year or two ago, when he sold it to W.
P. Bell, and it is now occupied by Frank
Wilmington. 1t is on High street, near
the new depot.
MIR. Andrew Strobe, who has been en-
ployed in the B. & o. yards at Brunswick,
Md, for some time past, has been trans
ferred to Chicago Junction, where he will
be yard clerk at the B. & o. plant. He
spent couple of days here this week
with his mother before leaving for his
new home.
Mr.. Harry E. Mundey, Jr., who was in
hospital in Charles Town Ill with pneu-
monia for some weeks past, was able TO
return home last Sunday.
Mr.. H. M. Turner, who is in the United
States immigration service at Yarmouth,
Nova Scotia, is home to spend the holt
days with his family.
Mr.. and Mrs. Leroy Eavey, OF KeedyS-
vile, Md, visited Mrs. Mollie Folk in
ShepherdStown the past week.
The editor OF the Register spent sever
al days in Philadelphia the past week.

Bank Officials Do Not Call Him Smooth Swindler But Say He Is Most Per sistent That Ever Alp preached Them For Loan.

Since the recent escapades of one T. A. Ryan have been brought to the front in Phoenix by his like impersonations of a travelling sales
 man trying to get money from the house, it has developed that that same T. A. Ryan camped in this town nearly all last week and that good portion of that time he was trying to get money without security. The Mesa City bank at least enter tained Ryan on a number of occa- sions. On his first visit he approach ed the cashiers window and present ed a draft on a Texas bank stating as he did so that he had just pur- chased a ranch from Goldman Bros, southeast of Mesa and for which he had paid 5000 This story was a trifle too large to satisfy the bank of ficials who are pretty well ac- quainted with that section of the country southeast of Mesa. After satisfying themselves that Ryan was not just right it was a much easier matter to be on, their guard and to protect themselves against his differ ent sereis of attack. When he first entered the bank he had nothing but customers draft, but during the week he purchased lot in North Evergreen and gave a check for $75 signed by his father He received a contract for the lot and then taking the contract again approached the Mesa City bank officials with a view to getting a loan on the strength of the contract It is barely possible that had the man presented the con- tract for the lot on his first appear ance that he would have been more successful. he would have at least re- ceived more consideration at the hands of the bank. However. in the light of what had passed previously between the bank and the man they refused to advance any money on the contract and he forthwith went to another place where the money was advanced. One of the members of the Evergreen company went to Phoenix yesterday to determine what the investigation of the check is- sued for the lot had resulted in.
 According to the officers of the odhh thdl Hldh I. A. hNaH IS hol necessarily a smooth swindler. There are more than one reason for this. In the first place he could hardly represent a travelling salesman thus presuming to do more than he could carry out successfully. Then he is too persistent He is not a brow beater and a buffer but he is so insistent that he often closes the gates through which he might pass to safety. It is believed now that he has been making Mesa his home for the past several days. It is the general opinion at this place among those who have watched the man while trying to do business that he is not exactly in his right mind
