B. 4 0. RAILROAD
May Construct Line Down Big Sandy
to Ohio River.

Whtesburg, KY, June 14.-Act--
i've preparations are being made by
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad peo-
pie TO construct a 20 mile branch of
their road along and parallel with
the Beaver creek branch of the Ches-
apeake a. Ohio out from mouth of
fields to reach the extensive hold
ings of the Elkhorn Fuel Company
recently organized, and who plan
the expenditure of from $40, ,000,-
900 to $50, 100000 in this section.
This action on the part of the
B. and o. people brings to bear the
great Importance of the construc-
tion of a through line down the Big
Sandy river paralleling the G. and
o. its entire distance, and it Is said
this matter is being seriously con-
sidered. 1t is said, by those in po-
sition to know, that this action will
be absolutely necessary in order to
handle the big coal tonnage. from
the mammoth operations of the Con-
solidation Coal Company at Jenk-
ms, while, when the operations are
well under way from the Beaver
field, which will be with the next
six months, the tonnage will be per-
haps doubled.
For some time B. and o. officials
have been considering the feasibility
of a route down tho Big Sandy, and
there is coming time when some
action must be taken to be In read
mess for the big coal traffic which
is assured them for the near fu-
ture. Other nav lines of railroads
out into the coal fields
will also increase the already large
tonnage to be hauled by the B. and
o., which at length will become one
OF the heaviest carriers entering the
coal field.

ey. county health officer. was sent
for, and he placed the house and
inmates in quarantine and took the
necessary steps to prevent, as far
as possible, the spread OF the dis

more cases. Smallpox Is essentially
q cold weather disease. and the

Good Well at Camel City Nearly I
Mile Ahead Of Others.

The oil development at Camel
City has been considerably encour-
aged by the results of the last week
Four wells have been completed and

lures is the fact that one of these
wells is three-fourths of mile west
OF previous development, thus show
ing an important extension of the
field. This well is estimated to be
good for 90 barrels per day, natural

territory belongs TO DR.. Collier, M.

The last well came In on Mon

BASEBALL

Baseball is a wholesome, democra-
tizing influence; like death, il is a
mighty leveler, destroying ,rtificial
distinctions between man and man.
1t has the advantage Of being sport
whose essential theory, like that OF
football, it is easy to grasp, whether
YOU do or do not understand the fine
points of squeeze plays and double
steals, Texas leaguers and pinch hit
ting, balks ard sacrifices, inshoots
and foul strikes. The heroes Of the
diamond have dimmed the luster Of
dime novel villains and led aiany .
boy, in the zeat of adventure and
OVERLOOKING animal spirits, to whole
some emulation.
When baseball Is compared with
the cruel and sanguinary pastlmes
which masquerade under the irame OF
sport in uncivilized lands. the d,
voices Of clean, honorable and manly
athletic competition is inclined to
give thanks that baseball is our ma
tional sport and that the popularity
Of the game in the United States Is
firmly established.
