COAL MINING IN WEST
VIRGINIA IN 1909
The State Takes Second Place in
Production.

In 1868, for the second time in the
history Of the cOal-mining industry,
West Virginia produced more coal than
illinois and took second rank among
the coal-producing States. This change
occurred in a year in which mining
operations in either State were not
much disturbed by labor troubles. West
Virginia outranked Illinois also in 1906,
but the production in Illinois was in
that year cut down bv a long period of
ldleness caused by Il struggle between
the operators ana the organized mine
workers over the wage scale. in 1906
West Virginia S production exceed that
Of illinois by l,Sl0,2i6 short tons; in
1909 the difference was 955, 969 tons.
The production in West Virginia in
1909 amounted to 81, $40, 220 short tons,
valued at S44, SCI, TIC against Al, S97, S43
short tons valued at $40, 0O9, 054. in 1908.
The increase in 1909 was 9, 951 ,377 short
tons, or SO. per cent, in quantity. and
81, 652. 662, or ll.6 per cent. in value.
The average price per ton declined from
90 cents in 1908 to 80 cents in 1909 and
in this connection another comparison
with the rival State. Illinois, is peril
nent. for the Goals of Illinois, though not
equal in quality TO those of West Vir-
ginia, sold in 1909 at an average price
of Sl.05.
Illinois has the advantage of nearby
markets for Its Goals, and by far the
larger part of the product Is consumed
within the State or in closely adjacent
territory. West Virginia, on the other
hand, more than any other coal produc-
ing State, finds markets for its coal out
side of the State The manufacturing
industries of West Virginia are compar-
atively unlmportant when considered in
connection with its large and cheap sup
ply of high-grade fuel, so that probably
more than 80 per cent Of the coal mined
in the State is shipped away to support
manufacturing industries in other
States.

REPAIR Of NATIONAL PIKE
WILL Be DISCUSSED TO-DAY
At a Meeting Of the Citizens Of Grants
Vile and Many From FrOStburg,

a good roads meeting will be held at
Grantsville today, the object being to
discuss the rebuilding Of the National
Road. 1t is expected that the attend
ance will be large as the people in the
eastern and northern part of Garrett
county are very much disguised with
the treatment which they have received
at the hands of the State Good Roads
Commission. They say that promise at
ter promise has been made and Just as
often broken, and thus patience has
about become exhausted. The purpose
of the meeting is to try and devise some
way whereby the road conditions pre-
vailing can be improved, at least to the
extent that travelling over some Of them
will be made safe, and not, as they are
now, dangerous to life and limb. Per-
haps no public road anywhere east of
the Rocky Mountains is in the same
condition as in the National Pike be-
tween Frostburg and Grantsville.
TIE meeting will no doubt be a lively
and interesting one. Many prominent
and progressive citizens of Frostburg
will attend the meeting. Among those
who will likely attend are DR.. Timothy

Pine Seed Plant Located at Custer.

officers of this district of the forestry
service have recently visited Custer,
South Dakota, and perfected plans for
the erection of a seed extracting house
at that point, which will be used during
the coming season for the production of
yellow pine seed
1t is expected the plant will be fully
equipped and ready for work hy the
time the yellow pine cones are ripe this
fall. The capacity will be 600 bushels
per day, or about 600 pounds of seed per
day, and if the crop of cones is as good
this year as it was last from 10 to Is tons
of seed will be produced during the
coming season.-Denver Colo Times.

Incidentally, the writer called on l..
s. Gull, register of the land Office at the
present time and prominently mention
ed in connection with the nomination
for Governor ofSouth Dakota. Mr.. Gull
is one of those bright-eyed, broad.mind-
ed men who have been instrumental in
building up this western empire, and
his friends insist that he is just the man
for the next Governor ofthis state. Mr..
Gull is a lawyer acknowledged of ability,
a thorough student of conditions econo-
mic and otherwise which promise great
er development and expansion for South
Dakota; interested in the welfare OF the
State, its people and its institutions; in
the very prime of vigorous manhood
and imbued with desire to assist in
the development of the State and its re.
sources, and with all a pleasant and
courteous gentleman whom it would be
a pleasure to address as Governor Gull.
The more one sees of L. S. Gull the bet
ter one likes him, and it is not irnprob-
able that he will decide to enter the lists
at the next state primary for the COVER
norship. The Black Hills can rally to
his support with the full knowledge that
if elected he will give the state an ad-
ministration above criticism.-Spearfish

Representative Martin has secured the

Representative Martin has secured the
cooperation of the Department of Agri-
culture in the effort that he has been
making to secure the transfer of two or
three carloads of young elk from the
Jackson's Hole country in Wyoming,
near the YELLOWSTONE Park, to the For
est Reserve in the Black Hills. Many
years ago this section of South Dakota
contained great many elk, but they
were slaughtered and driven out. Re-
Gently a few scattering ones have been
coming back into the Black Hills region,
and the people of the State have become
interested in restoring the game, with
the result that the State Legislature has
passed laws to permanently protect the
elk. Appropriations have been provid-
ed whereby the Forest Rangers will see
that none are slaughtered. The Secre-
tary of Agriculture has approved the
suggestion coming from the Congress-
man, and the transfer is to be made this
fall, unless it is found that the season is
too far advanced to permit of the work,
in which latter event, the elk will be
moved later in the year.
