Trouble to Get ON the Ballot

The socialists have attempted to file
q list of electors to be placed upon the
ballot at the November election, but
the state secretary will decline to file
them, as the certific tie shows that
they were selected at a convention
held at Sioux Falls on the 9Th day of
June, when the primary lax provides
that all political parties of the state
shall meet in state convention on the
first Tuesday in July following the
primary, and that in 1912 and quad
renially thereafter they shall at such
conventions select their list of electors
and file the same with the secretary of
state. No attempt was made to hold
a convention on the legal date fixed,
but instead the certificate shows that
the convention was held several weeks
earlier. Az the matter stands, It
appears that the socialists will have
trouble getting their list of electors
upon the ballot.

Jesse Day, notorious thief, drug
victim and penitentiary convict,
died at l o'clock Saturday afternoon

where he had been placed a short
time before by city policemen for
stealing morphine from a physicians

caused his death.
Policemen George Isenhart and
George Washington arrested Day
Saturday morning in the Gore build
ing at Second and West Pike streets

oners are usually confined. He was

of scotch-Irish lineage and John
Jackson. great great grandfather of

was very painful shock not only
to all his townspeople, who highly
respected him, but also to hosts Of

life shows, Col. Jackson believed In

was one who gave his best efforts to
their development. In the passing
of Col. Jackson, one of the states
most useful citizens has gone. He
was a man among men in every true

FREE SITES.
Are Arranged for by Board of
Trade by Acquiring the
Stout Farm.

AT an adjourned meeting Friday
evening of the directors of the Clarks.
burg board of trade from the regular
monthly meeting January &c, the sec
rotary announced that the association
was now in possession in fee sil,plt
e tract of land containing approx
:mately fifteen acres. which had been
secured without the expenditure OF a
dollar.
The secretary several months ago
secured an option on the Stout farm
lying next to Northview, with the
county road on the north and the
West Fork river on the south, and
opposite the Gore station of the Fair
mont and Clarksburg Traction Com
pany. This option was secured for a
particular purpose, but, as it could
not be utilized before the expiration
of the same, and as several real estate
operators were after the property for
subdivision purposes, the secretary
was enabled to close deal securing
for the board of trade that portion
of the Stout farm lying between the
railroad and the river, covering in all
about fifteen acres, in lieu of turn
ing over the option for this property.
At the meeting Friday night it was
determined that an engineer should
be engaged to make an estimate as
to the cost of putting the ground so
secured in shape for factory sites.
This can be done at no great expendi-
ture, after which the board of trade
will have at it's disposal free sites to
offer prospective manufactures.

SURVEY OF COUNTY
SOON TO Be MADE
In the Good Roads Campaign
of the Local Board
of Trade.

At an adjourned meeting Friday
evening of the regular monthly
meeting of the directors of the
Clarksburg Board of Trade from
January 26, there was secured
an appropriation to cover certain ex-
penses to be incurred by prelim-
mary survey for good roads for
Harrison county.
This survey will Be made by an
engineer to be furnished by the pub
lie roads bureau of the Department
!of Agriculture, upon proper appli-
cation from the county officials, I'M
der whose supervision the road i'm
provements would be made. The
survey is necessary in order to Sc
cure an estimate upon which to base
the proposed bond issue for high
way Improvements for Harrison
county, and the board of trade feels
that such work being done by fed
.eral engineer will carry with 1t the
assurance that the estimates arrived
at are conservative and necessary for
the work desired.
Upon consultation with the public
roads bureau and the American As
ISOLATION for Improved Highways,
the secretary of the local board of
trade believes that improvements to
cover one hundred miles of road
ways radiating from Clarksburg as
a center will fully cover all needs
for the immediate future, and the;
present income from road tax should
be more than sufficient to take care
of the feeders to the main highways
to be improved.
1t is proposed to inaugurate a.
campaign through the county to
begin the first week in April and
tho secretary has already received
assurances Of cooperation from the
public roads bureau of the Ameri-
can Association for Improved High
ways, as well as the chief engineer
for highways in Maryland, Mr.. w.
w. Crosby, who is also connected
with the Johns Hopkins University,
and Prof. Joseph Hyde Pratt, who is
the state geologist for North Caro-
lima, and is president of the APP
palachian Association for Improved
Highways.
The secretary is also trying to
secure, in conjunction with this cam
paign, a good roads train to be OPP
Grated by the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad under the auspices OF the
Public Roads Bureau of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, after which i'll
is proposed to operate the train
throughout the territory traversed
by the Baltimore and Ohio in West
Virginia. The proposed train would
be equipped for carrying the lee
turers and an extra coach in which
to hold lectures at the smaller
towns where there are no meeting
places available. mother car
would contain samples of road
making materials, photographs of
good and bad roads all over the
world. etc., and still another car
would be used to exhibit and demon
strate road making machinery.
Mr. King further states that he is
now in Communication with those
interested in the most vital question
of improved highways in various
parts of the county and is eceivingI
much encouragement theerfrom.
Some six thousand names of prop
erty owners within the county were
furnished the public roads bureau
some time ago and they are recelv-
ing from time to time literature
bearing on the subject of good roads
and the benefits to accure from i'm
proved highways.
