RON oREs IN WEST VIRGINIA.

IRON ORES IN WEST VIRGINIA,
The productions of pig.iron in the
United States INCREASED from 3,825, 1911
| tons in 1889 and 9,2O2,7O3 tons in 1890
to 2T,29S,545 tons in 1910. During the
same period the production OF steel
increased from 1,397.O15 tons in 1880
and 4.277,O71 tons in 1890 to 26,O94,9l9
tons in 1910.
A growth so tremendous as this
must be cared for by the steady expan-
sion OF the iron and steel producing
capacity OF the country. The time
will come when every iron and steel
plant with facilities for cheap produc-
ton will be crowded to its capacity.
These facts are OF vital concern ~
every State where iron ore and cox
ing coal can be profitably assembled.
West Virginia is fortunate in pos
sessing valuable and extensive Feh
ore deposits, IA ,f ay-p9 II /
An Investigation and report cover
ing the extent and quality of West VT
GINA iron ares was made by Prof g.
P. GrimsIey. Of the West Virginia
Geological Survey, and he conserva-
lively estimated the tonnage of the
lore deposits in Pendleton county at
about SO,OOO,OOO, and in Hardy and
Hampshire counties at 75,O0O,O0O,
while an average analysis showed an
iron content of AZ to 40 per cent.
These ores are especially valuable.
not only on account of their nearnsss
TO the great Pittsturg iron and steel
section, hut also because Of the pfeY-
unity of an abundant supply OF high
grade coke and fIuXing stone. {tE
The deposits are conveniently To-
Gated TO the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road, which, with its modern equip
ment and broad reach, affords tacili-
ties for wide distribution OF iron and
steel products.
West Virginia therefore contains all
the raw materials and shipping facil-
tiles necessary to iron and steel man
ufacture.
From an economic standpoint the
development of West Virginia iron
ore deposits is bound to follow.

CARNEGIE A
STAR WITNESS
SAYS ANY MAN is JUSTIFIED IN
DOING EVERYTHING THAT HE
CAN UNDER THE LAW.

WASHINGTON, Jam 12.-Andrew
Carnegie proved a star witness to the
Stanley committee
The crowds we're greater than at
the examination OF any previous wit
ness. Many women were present.
]. Howard Bridge, author of Inside
History OF the Carnegie Steel Co." was
called and the nthe Scotchman again
took the stand.
He took up the question of the
enormous profits OF the Carnegie Co.
from 1890 to 1900. Carnegie asserted
that they were due to the enormous
increase in production! { g,a ~
40 you think the Dingley tariff law
had any effect on the price of steel"
asked Representative Sterling. ~
Carnegie said ."The tariff could
have no effect on the price of steel.
America today makes more steel than
all the rest of the world. You legts-
lators need not bother your heads
about protecting the steel industry.
Then Representative Bartlett asked,
What, in your opinion has brought
practically every big corporation into
a frame Of mind int@hNh they recon-
mend solution?&&$Sss,s
why, they have seen, as saw long
ago that American people will not sub
nit to huge combinations without
regulations" shouted the little Scotch
man, as he pounded the table.
DO you think the strong hand Of
the law. must be invoked to prevent
the great corporations from charging
excessive prices?"
Il certainly do" exclaimed Carnegie

PUBLICITY AND GERMS,

Publicity is a, good panacea for
many ills, such as dull trade, corrup-
lion and ineftieiency in public officials,
graft, and many other things which
could be enumerated but it is not an
effective weapon with which to stamp
out a epidemic Of disease and there is
yet to be found a record wheregneWs'
paper publicity has ever cured a sin,
.gIe case Of typhoid fever, measles
small pox Or any other form of conta-
geon which strikes communities
everywhere occasionally.
Typhoid fever germs cannot be
driven out Of a community with pitch
forks, black jacks and flourish OF
,trumpets, but the cause of the cpl
aemic may be eradicated by the intel
Igent and scientific investigation fol-
loved by professional treatment. In
cases, even where a disease has be-
come an alarming menace to the
people, many believe that the best in
terests OF the community would be
served by prompt, and efficient action
by the Boards OF Health and the medi-
cal societies and Nay6r Martin has
taken a wise course in having an
analysis of the water made to ascer-
tain the cause of the prevalence of
typhoid fever in this section at the
present time.
Fairmont is considered health
place in which to live and is as FIRE
from disease germs as most any sec
ton Of the country. The mountain al
is pure and heaithful and the water /
generally pure. 1t is true that tn
river water at times is Contaminate
by unlawful drainage into the river
but such instances are rare and tn
abuse is soon corrected. The Yves

Itis an old saying and true one that
troubles" 1t is just as applicable to
cities as 1t is to individuals. Fair
mont has splendid water system and
II the filters are working in proper
manner it is not likely that typhoid
germs will be found in the city water
but an analysis will be a good pre-
cautlonary measure and II the hydrant
water is impure proper steps should
be taken Immediately TO remedy the
situation.
There is nothing that can be done
to stamp out the few cases of fever
here that is not now being done and
that cannot be done Just as effectively
and as quickly by the organizations
which have this matter in charge,
without unduly exciting the citizens
on holding out unnecessarily danger
signal that might keep people away
from the town.

CANVASS Of
VOTE DELAYED

Bismarck, n. D., Dec. 13.-The prog
ress of canVassing the vote was in
terrupted this week through the lack
Of returns from Divide county, where
there is some kind of mix-up which
prohibits the securing of those figures.
In ordinary cases the canvaSsing
board has the power to send a mes
senger after delinquent returns and to
charge the costs to the defauiting
county, but in this case the matter
is in the hands of the court, hence is
not "get-at-able."
AS is generally the case, it lis the
newest member of the house who
makes the trouble, and thus 1t lis with
the new county of Divide. 1t seems
that there has been considerable bad
blood between Crosby, the temporary
county seat and Ambrose, the aspir-
ing city. This has caused network
of conflicting political wires, which
are constantly making trouble
The law provides that where a
member of the county canyassing
board was on the ticket to be can
vased. the county auditor shall call
In a justice of the peace to sit in his
place. For some reason the auditor
refused to call In justice, whereup-
on the judge issued an order COM
pelIing him to do so. This has delayed
the matter considerably and the end
is not yet. For this reason the cam
vassing board cannot complete It's
Iabors or the Official figures cannot be
given out,

Gave Baby Srychnne and Then Ames Severed Infants Head
With Raxor-Says She Would Have Killed Other

oakes, n. D. Bsa 13.-Mrs. r A.
Greiff committed an unnatural crime
at Fullerton, when she murdered her
2-year- old daughter. The father was
away at work and the mother was in
care of the four children. While the
youngest was on the bed the mother
administered two grains of strychnine.
The poison not acting quickly enough,
the mother took a razor and cut the
child's throat from ear to ear.
After doing the terrible deed the
woman went to the house of her neigh
Dor. Mrs. Lawrence, telling what she
had done, and saying she wanted to
go up town and give herself up. Mrs.
Lawrence accompa MED the demented
woman to the home, but she said:

herself up to Marshall Ain, who, with
Others went to the home and found the

mother and were released.

Petition Filed Against Phla-

Eastern ConfectionerS Declared
in Combine
Wickersham Wants Injunction
Against Association

Philadelphia. Dec. 13.-The candy
trust" of Philadelphia was attacked
today by Attorney General Wicker
sham in the civil suit filed here
against the Philadelphia Jobbing Con-
fectioners' association. The mem
bers and officers of the association
have combined and conspired. 1t is
charged, to coerce the candy manu-
facturers from selling to the retail
dealers, consumers, or to the jobbers
other than members of the associa-
ton.
The firms and persons comprising
the association handle it is pointed
out, the products of the candy manu-
facturers of New York, New Jersey,
Maryland, Pennsylvania and other
states. BY their combination and
conspiracy, 1t is added, they refrain
from purchasing from non -associa-
tion candy manufacturers or from
manufacturers who sell direct to re-
taller or consumers in and about Phil
adelphia.
The government declares the acts of
the association are "in derogation of
the common rights of all the people
of the United States" and in viola
ton of the Sherman law. The attor-
ney general asks for an injunction
against their continuance.

to ElIendale and lodged in the coun-
ty Jail. The coroner did not think 1t
necessary to call jury, az the woman
admitted the deed and there was all
kinds of evidence to sustain her story.
MIR. Boardman said he found a grain
of strychnine on the child's lip. The
tugular vein was severed, and IT
looked as If the child had been dead
when the razor was resorted to.
It is stated that the woman intend
ed to put an end to all the children,
and made the threat afterwards that
she would have succeeded had she
been able to find the revolver. The
eldest Is years of age. The revolver
was afterwards found in the house.
About year ago Humane Officer
Blake was at the home, and 1t is said
that he told the parents he would take
away the children about Christmas
time (of last year, if they did not
take better care of them. The hu-
name officer had not appeared there
since.
It Is said that because of neglect
of the husband the family has suf-
fered terribly until the mother was
driven insane.

SAYS he Poured
OIL ON FLAMES

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. 13.-That
she saw M. Feldman pouring kerosene
oil on the walls of his house after the
flames had eaten through the wood
work, was the testimony, yesterday Of
Mrs Jacob Krochock In the suit
brought by Feldman against the Mil
waukee Mechanics Insurance CO, In
tile district court. The case will prob
ably so to the jury this afternoon.
Mrs. Krochock's testimony is ride
ulous, according to F'eldman's attor-
neys, who say that the possibility Of
his throwing kerosene on the fire from
the outside of the house is SO remote
that 1t is nonsense even to think OF II.
FeIdman's Claims.
The fire, in which Feldman claims
to have lost his entire stock of goods,
and in which his house was slightly
damaged, took place two years ago
last June. The entire loss, amounting
to about 5000. 1t is said. was covered
by insurance.
After the fire, declares Feldman,
the damage to the house was set ut
s1S5, besides the loss of his stock.
The insurance company offered tn
settle for $3.50, he says, but he re :
fused. They then offered his $3.50.
but he refused that also Then they
disclaimed all liability, he says. and he
brought suit to recover the entire
amount.
How the Fire Started.
Feldman's story of the origin of the
fire is;
According to the Jewish custom, no
fires are lit in house from stlndown
Friday night to sundown Saturday
night. No Jew will even light match
to smoke. on Friday afternoon in
June, 1910 he lighted a lamp, to avoid
lighting after sundown. a
He set 1t on his dresser in his bed
room, and went to another room.
Shortly after his sister, who lived
nearby. asked him and Mrs. Feldman
to come over to her house because ona
of her little children was sick The
FeIdman's did this and at about II
O'Clock, when they were returning
home. they saw smoke coming out
of one of the windows.
He turned in an alarm of fire, and
the department responded within fiya
minutes.
Many witnesses were examined yes
terday, and only four or Ave remain
to be put on the stand. The testimony
of these will be finished before noon
today, 1t is expected, and the case
will be given to the jury early this
afternoon.
