Hundred Bodies Recovered
from New Mexico Shaft
Wrecked by Explosion.
HOPE Is ABANDONED
Impossible for Any. to Be Alive, Man
ager Admits-Three Fires in
Workings During Day.

Dawson. y. NJ, Oct. Zone hundred
bodies have been recovered from No.
mine of the Stag Canon Fuel Company.
which was wrecked last Wednesday aft
ernoon. II is believed that the remain
ing bodies will be recovered by Sunday
night. as the workings are rapidly clear
ing of the deadly monoxid gas which
has retarded the rescue gangs. The total
death list will reach 26S.
7. II. O'Brien. general manager OF the
mine. remained hopeful until late to-
night that perhaps more of tbe men en-
cued. but when body after body was re-
moved, wrapped in canvas or tar paper
to hide the horribly distorted features
and mangled condition. he admitted his
despair
AN is over now" he said I'VE have
given up hope and you will understand
We would not say that il there was any
chance of a single man remaining alive.
1t is just a question of time and of
clearing the mine. We may get 100 more
bodies during the next twenty-four hours.
but it may take days to get the rest.
Three Fires In Mine.
Three fires broke out in the wrecked
mine today. Two of these were put
out after a hard fight. but the third
continued to burn until late tonight.
Sunday will be another day of funer-
ais in Dawson, and it is planned tc
bury every body as fast as it is re-
moved from the underground channel
Many bodies were buried today with
out being Identified.
Scores of women and children are
still gathered at the mouth of the mine
sadly awaiting the rescue gangs to
come to the surface with their burden
of dead.

COUNTRY ROAD OF THE FUTURE

When the coke oven owners find a
ready and nearby market for their
coal tar. now a total loss. they will
undoubtedly arrange to collect and re.
tain same and can put It on the mar
ket In large quantities at a much re-
duced price. A trial strip OF this con.
crete road with tar surface has been
under observation near Charleston for
some time and apparently is almost
ideal.
The Good Roads" proposition is so
thoroughly linked up with the Rural
Life improvement" movement and the
whole idea OF Better Agriculture
that the utmost that can be done in
the way OF cooperation Is highly de.
sirable, and It is quite Important from
an agricultural standpoint TO know
that the College Of Engineering is
carefully studying these problems.
The recent Inauguration OF the Office
OF State Highway and Railway Com.
missioner TO be located at the Univer.
sity ought TO be the means OF making
considerable ADVANCE Upward the SO.
luton OF this perplexing problem.

"The problem of building and main
tanning good country roads offers
many difficulties" said Dean c. R,
Jones. OF the College OF Engineering,
West Virginia University. in a recent
discussion, and added that even the
material for which such roads are to
be constructed In the future has not
been very definitely decided upon In
the minds OF road experts. The old re.
liable macadamized road, about which
so much has been said and written,
has been found quite incapable OF
withstanding the suction of rapidly,
moving automobile tires. Well.packed
dirt roads surpass In this respect. but
are very easily destroyed by we,
weather and lack OF drainage. Where
the initial cost is not prohibitive, brick
roads have given excellent satisfac
ton. Dean Jones is OF the opinion
that in a state situated as is West Nlr.
ginia the concrete road with a coal tar
surface will ultimately prove the most
economical and most servlceable

COUNTY COURT
. AWARDS ROAD
CONTRACTS
,CHANEY AND ARMSTRONG WILL
DO THE SURVEYING AND THE
WORK WILL BE PUSHED AS
RAPIDLY as POSSIBLE.

The county court has awarded the
contract OF surveying the roads OF
Fairmont district that are to be
permanently repaired within the
next few months. The firm OF CLANCY
and Armstrong, OF Washington. Pa.
will have charge OF the work. This
Is firm that has a wide experience
in permanent road building and the
members are considered among the
most competent engineers along that
line in the Keystone State.
The work OF surveying Fairmont
district highways will be started just
as soon as possible. The county court
Is anxious to have all OF the prelim-
mary work of the project disposed Of
rapidly so that next season the time
may all be devoted to the construc-
tion OF the roads. There are many
things that will present themselves
that havesto be worked out prclim-
mary to the actual construction OF
the highways. Most Of this preiim-
mary work in Warrington district
has been disposed Of.
The county court, in It's laying the
levy on Tuesday, took care Of the
cost Of surveying the roads in Fair
mont district.
The county court feels sure that
the bonds will be marketed before
the preliminary work Is completed.
and that there will not be much trou-
Bile experienced in selling these sc.
curities. The bond market is getting
better all the time and there arc In
Guiries coming in almost daily.
There is every indication that these
bonds will find plenty Of ready buy
ers. ..

individuals will vary greatly In the
percentage OF fat contained in the
milk, but the averages given are quite
accurate for large number OF indi
viduals. When milk is to be retailed
In good market usually per cent
Is demanded and either Guernsey OF
Jersey COWS must be used. In sec,
tions remote from the market where
milk is shipped, Holsteins must be
used on account OF the lower prices
received for the milk For making
butter in this state the Jersey Is most
widely used. The Guernsey Is coming
Into favor rapidly on account OF the
high color OF the milk and fat. The
Ayrshires are also coming into favor
rapidly for milk and butter on account
OF their ruggedness. There are good
cows among all the breeds and after
considering the facts ABOVE mentioned
the breed which appeals most to the
man concerned is the breed TO start
with, as 1t is natural for all OF us to
take the most interest In the thing
which we like the best.
There is another very important
phase OF the subject which should re.
ceive more attention in starting herds
OF dairy cattle. 1t is a big advantage
for farmers In the same section or
community to have the same breed OF
cattle for the following reasons:
]. 1t makes for community interest
and cooperation.
2. Buyers OF dairy cattle will be at.
tracted to that section because of the
large number of that breed to select
from.
3. Farmers can cooperate in their
breeding operations.
There are several good examines of
this community breeding system in
this country, the most prominent prob.
ably being the Guernsey Centers In
the State OF Wisconsin.
Whether pure bred or grade COWS
are used to start the herd the breed
to be followed must be definitely de.
cided upon and pure bred sire of this
breed secured to head the herd. While
good COWS are so expensive and their
quality so uncertain when purchased
promiscuously, the surest method Of
securing profitable cows is TO breed
them by Using sires OF known value.
Purchase only pure bred sires whose
ancestors have official milk and fat
records and combine with this produc.
ing inheritance. good dairy conforma.
tion, vigor, fair size and mascullnity.
Fix in your mind what constitutes
good dairy conformation and select
cows which conform to this standard.
When possible purchase cows in herds
where milk and fat records have been
kept regularly.

In starting herd OF dairy cattle one
must consider two important factors:
the amount OF capital available and
the purpose for which the herd is tc
used. The amount OF capital available
Will determine whether 1t is desirable
to purchase pure bred or grade COWS
and the purpose for which their prod
uct Is 10 be used will determine to a
certain extent the breed.
Few farmers feel like starting alb
ruptly into a pure bred herd OF dairy
cattle simply because It involves the
expenditure Of too much capital
When large herd is being brought
together 1t is good plan TO have at
least few pure breds OF the breed
selected. Most farmers, however, who
contemplate starting herd OF dairy
cattle will probably start with grade
COWS. There should be no question as
to whether TO use scrub or grade cows
BY all means select grade COWS Of the
particular breed desired. The coun
Try is full OF scrub cows OF no partic.
ular breeding and small producing ca.
pacity. BY grade cows we usually
mean cows sired by pure bred sire
and out OF scrub or grade dam, max.
ing them half pure blood. Pure bred
sires have been used in most sections
go that 1t Is comparatively easy TO get
fairly good grades OF any breed.
The price OF good grade cows show.
Ing size and plenty OF good milking
qualities has about doubled In the last
or years. so that now such cows
are selling for from 500 to $175. The
cause for this may be attributed to the
high price OF beef and especially OF
veal with the attendant result that
fewer heifer calves reach the milking
age than formerly. Furthermore the
demand for dairy COWS and dairy prod.
ucts Is increasing constantly. These
abnormally high prices for dairy cat,
tie are not affecting the COW market
In this state so much, however. In
fact, good cows can in some sections
be purchased for very reasonable
prices. According to the last census
there were about $4,000 COWS and heif.
ers in the state kept for milk and hav.
Ing an average value of S25.57. This
seems very low and IL we accept this
as accurate 1t means that the demand
for cows is not as great in this state
as in other states or that the average
quality is much lower. The average
value Of all dairy COWS in the United
States for 1909 was about s34.24. or al.
most $40 more than for West Virginia,
The demand for dairy products is
very good. however. II the farmers
OF this state would take advantage OF
the opportunities offered they could
keep millions OF dollars in this state
which now go out In payment for milk.
cream. butter and cheese which must
be brought, In from neighboring states.
Farmers are beginning to see the op,
portunitles. and the demand for good
dairy cows will grow. 1t will pay well
to start n good herd at this time and
keep improving 1t by breeding.
The breed as stated will depend on
the purpose for which the product is

GIANT STRIDES IN
WORLD WAR ON
White PLAGUE
DOCTORS AT INTERNATIONAL
MEDICAL CONGRESS ENTHUSED
OVER PROGRESS MADE IN THE
LAST DECADE.

LONDON. Aug. 14.-The striking
extent to which tuberculosis is being
prevented or cured has been one OF
the wonderfully Interesting and in
structive features IF the Intcrna-
tional Medical Congress ending here
to-day. Doctors from all over the
world who have been in attendance
will go back to their own countries
better prcparedto carry forward the
great campaign against the white
plague. In that way the United
States. as we'll rs England, France,
Germany and all other civilized ma
tiOns, will derive much benefit from
this congress.
Commenting on that feature of the
congress, DR.. J. b. Murphy. Chicago
surgeon, said:
"Thc significant note OF progress
and enlightenment at the general see
ton of the congress has been the
papers and discussions on prcventa-
tive medicine. on the care Of chill
drcn, on housingand on shop inspec-
ton.
All Branches Discussed.
I'm the surgical section OF inc con-
gress. too, tuberculosis came IN Tor
much consideration. luDerculosis OIL
the kidney. us well as tuberculosis OF
the lung. was the subject OF iilum-
mating discussion. cancer anu sur
gerry OF the blood vessels were given
consideration.
"The great purpose and result Of
the congress are the standardizing Of
attainment in fighting and prevent
ing disease. Medical men from every
cline brought their knowledge and
oxneriencc together. and great good
to humanity is bound to result. The
doctor from New Zealand, for in
stance, will take home with him an
understanding of what medicine and
surgery have achieved in the United
States and. Europe"
