OIL POOL.
May Develop on the Lucas
Farm Just North of
Shmnston.

The Philadelphia Company's new
strike, No. 8, on the Lucas Bros
tract, located north of shinnston, is
the latest gusher to arrive in the
Little Mountain state. The first
twenty-four hours after it was drilled
into the fourth pay sand it produced
! 200 barrels. At the present market
price of crude ($t.95) the money value
of the first days production amounts
to $2,34O. AT that rate it will take
but few days to pay back the money
invested. 1t looks quite favorable
for the development of pool in that
vicinity. The Philadelphia Company,
the Hope Natural Gas Company and
the South Penn Oil Company hold
leases on about all of the desirable
territory in that locality. The Hope
company's test drilling to the north
and east of the gusher will be due in
a few weeks, and will show whethre
the producing formation extends in
that direction.

Vote ON the Ratification Of
Prohibition Amendment
is Announced.

CHARLESTON, Dec. 1S-CoIonel
H. p. Brightwell, secretary to Cow
ernor Glasscock, has finally sucL
ceeded in securing t official vote
cast for and against the prohibition
amendment, but has not yet been
able to secure the official vote from
the various county clerks for presi-
dental electors and other candidates
which under the law, county clerks
are required to certify to the gov
enaor's office. This year has been
no exception to the rule of the fail
ure of the county clerks, as a gen.
eral rule, to comply with the law in
making official returns. The gener-
ally accepted reason for the delay is
that they receive no extra fee-that
it is part of the duty they are re-
CURED to perform for the salary
they receive-and that they are
more concerned in performing work
that nets them fee, than in the
work they are required to perform
for the salary.
The official vote for and against
the prohibition amendment, showing
a majority of 92,342 for 1T, as certi-
fed by the clerks, is as follows:

Small in Acreage are Adyer-
tised by Federal Govern
ment for Immigration.

West Virginia, the land overlooked,
is now coming into its own. The
United States Bureau OF Information
has decided that advertising small
farms in, this state and inducing back
to-the-land advocates to settle here,
is better than having them leave the
country to take up homesteads and
become citizens of Canada, so the in
vestigators are now looking up labor
conditions and investigating the lands
of this state with view of listing
them for citizens who would follow
farming for health and wealth.
Queries concerning lands and avail
able farms, climatic conditions, cost
of tilling the soil, railroads, markets
and the like have been or will be sent
to all boards of trade, oranges. civic
organizations, farmers Institutes and
the like in the state, and within the
next six months Uncle Sam will be
aiding in advertising West Virginia.
The movement started by the Blu
reau Of immigration will not be con-
fined to West Virginia alone, but will
be followed in nearly all the other
stf,Gs of the United States. The
plan is to prevent good citizens from
leaving the states and also to keep
foreigners from going back to the old
countries to spend money they have
earned in America.
Plenty of large tracts of land are adj
vertised, but the bureau is finding it
difficult to get information about five
ten and fifteen acre tracts. 1t is the
available small farms in West vir-
ginia that the immigration officials
want to list.
An effort will be made to get i'm
migrants to come to West Virginia or
other parts, of the south and west in
stead of crowding into the cities of
the east. If this works @t well the
officials are of the opinion, that the
cost of living will be lower, as mucl
land now untitled and unused will be
brought into use.

Sanitaium Buildings at Terra
Alta are Almost Ready
for Occupancy.

MoRGANTowN, Dec. l3.-The
buildings of the state tuberculosis
sanltarium at Terra Alta are about
finished and win be ready for occu-
pancy by the first Of the year. Three
buildings have been put up this sea-
son, one large building, which will be
used as an administration building
and receiving hospital, and two small
Ter buildings to be occupied by the
patients. They are all built with the
one idea of providing the greatest
amount of sunlight and fresh air.
They are admirably located on the
top of the Allegheny mountains, at an
altitude of 5000 feet. Terra Alta has
been known as summer resort for
many years and hundreds of people
spend the summer there. 1t is an
ideal location for the sanitarium.
This is state institution and will
be supported by the state, for the pur-
post of fighting the Ghite plague,
consumption, in this state and is
along the new idea of government
that the state must conserve the lives
and health of its people. The sani-
tarium is more especially for the I'M
fortunates who are afflicted with tu-
berculosis and have not the means to
have the proper treatment at home:
1t provides home and a treatment
for those who must get away from
home, for both rest and treatment.
1t will be under the supervision of
competent physician and nurses will
be provided for the patients. 1t will
be in every respect an up-to-date in
stitutlon.

CAMP AI5N
Is Started to Further the Ends
Of Ideal Sanitary Con-
ditions on Trains.

BALTIMORE, Md, Dec. ~
Furthering the ends of ideal sanitary
conditions, the Baltimore and Ohio
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
system is about to enter upon cam
paign which will greatly enhance
the comforts of railway travel. As
a part of the regular equipment of
passenger trains and station lava
tories, sanitary paper roller towel
service will be Installed, represent
ing the latest advance in hygiene
and marking the passing of public
roller towels.
The railroad management sets
forth that this latest step in sanl-
tation is being taken in response to
public wishes, and it follows closely
the obolition of public drinking
classes from passenger trains and
stations. The danger Of spreading
infectuous diseases through the
agency of public towels is recog-
nized by physicians and health au-
thoritles. Paper roller towels are
absolute protection against con-
tamtaation, being made of sterilized
fiber, which quickly absorbs the
moisture. After being used the
towels are discarded, receptacles
being provided for such purpose. The
paper towels possess all the softness
of the linen and cotton article which
they displace, and are not unpleas-
ant to use. Furthermore, there is
the constant assurance OF a
towel even, more clearly than the
freh Numbered linen one.
Individual drinking cups replaced
the public glass some time ago in
stations en- the Baltimore and Ohio
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
system.
Equipping its trans and stations
with sanitary roller towels supple
ments the Baltimore and Ohio prac-
tice of taking every precaution to
safeguard the health Of the travelling
public. Proper ventilation and
cleanliness of cars are looked after
by train employees, and at the end
of each trip passenger cars are rem
ovated, thoroughly cleaned and dis
infected. The work is in charge of
the chief medical examiner and
staff of railroad physicians, with
the assistance of car cleaners on
duty at each terminal. Various So
lutions-sulphuric acid, formalde-
hyde and potassium permanganate-
are used, these chemicals generating
gases deadly in their effect on germs.
The sanitary roller towels will be
placed in cars and stations as rap
idly as received from the manufac-
turers.

SOLONS HAVE RIGHT
TO ENACT THE LAW.
Providing for the Salaries of
Present and Next County
Officers Blue Says.

CHARLESTON, Dec. 13.-"Has the
legislature the constitutional right to
enact county salary law effective as
to the clerks of courts now in office
and the sheriGs who viii come into
office the first of january next?a To
this question state Tax Commissioner
Blue replied as follows: Without
any doubt whatsoever the legislature
has such rights, and moreover should
enact such law at the approaching
session..
Continuing Mr.. Blue said: Il know
that some of the sheriffs and clerks,
in the larger counties particularly,
are already organizing to oppose such
legislation and that one county clerk
is now spending much of his time
visiting the county officers through
out the state to effect statewide or
ganization preparatory to maintaining
a strong lobby during the session of
the legislature. 1t is strange that
some men who seek office at the hands
the people, as soon as they are
trusted by the people should organ
ize themselves against the people.
What is there in the constitution
to prevent the legislature enacting "a
salary law? Not word in the con-
s.4cut1on fixes the salary of a clers
or sheriff. Not one of these officers
is salaried officer-they are feed
officers. 1t is true the constitution
provides that the salary of any pub
lie officer shall not be increased or
diminished during his term of office.
The compenss ton of these officers is
not fixed at any amount but fluctuates
each year, being governed by fees for
work done and commission on taxes
collected. The supreme court OF this
state held in Fuckers case, Z w. Va.
Gel that the constitutional provision
referred to applies only to officers
whose salaries are definitely fixed
either by constitution or legislative
act, and not to feed officers.
sThis question has been raised in
other states, having constitutional
provision the same as ours, wherein
the legislatures have changed and de-
creased the compensation during the
term of feed officers, and the courts
without exception have upheld the
laws makingIsuch changing. Such
cases as Thompson's case, - Ohio,
GIT, Crickete,. case, IS Ohio St. 9,
Stedman's case, 141 n. C. AS (54 S.
E. 269), Loving's case rs va. s42, and
Milwaukee County case, 81 Wis. $40,
are some Of the many eases in point.
Some of the opponents of the pro-
posed legislation, now raising this
question, have not heretofore hest
tated to urge the legislature to in
crease their compensation during
their term of ofTice-and have never
hesitated to accept the increase 1t
is poor rule that will not work both
ways.
