tant feature to make the work a
success. Make the district the
unit and every citizen then meet

and treasurer. Then appoint a
committee to go over the roads
Immediately and find out what is
to be done locate the mud holes,
places for culprits, rocks to be
blasted, bitches to be opened, etc.
!etc. This committee may be
termed Inspection Committee,
or there may be two such commit
tees one to look after the main
pixies or roads, and the other to
look after the by-roads. The
chairman of this committee should
I be the district road supervisor.
This committee or committees
should also consult with the other
committees of Ike name Of the
adjoining districts or counties,
and in this way there will be I'M
Iity and no misunderstanding in
every district throughout the
state.
The Inspection Committee
should then report to commit
tee to be known as a Soliciting
Committee" whose duty it will
be to get all the necessary sup
plies, material, horses, wagons,
plows. scrapers, automobiles, road
machines, men and laborers, or
| their equivalent in money, ready
on the morning Of May 28th to
start the greatest road movement
that has ever been pulled off in
the state, SO that the whole dis

highways.

Slaughter During Sc Hours Of
The Siege Was Most Hor-
Tifyiing Loss Known
VERA CRUZ. May b.

VERA CRUZ, May b.
ampica has fall~a. Il sue
cumpeu to a general assault
by rebel infantry, the soldiers
under the supreme command
Of General Pabulo Gonzales
and Luis Caballeros advanc-
ing under heavy artillery fire.
It is impossible to estimate
the number Of dead but the
slaughter during the 36 hours
of the siege was horrifying and
thousands Of slain obstruct
the streets. Generals Labarra
and Dona Cecilia commanded
the soldiers who entered the
streets OF the city in a trium-
plant rush driving the feder-
ais back step by step.
General Garazogas' troops
showed fierce resistance, maxi
ing their final stand at the
abandoned Southern Hotel.
Ambushed behind the pillars
and portals Of the old hostel
~ the federal sharpshooters
picked off the rebels by scores
and prevented their advance
for some time. Federals
wore also lodged on the roof
ofthe hotel, the customs house
and Other houses, the victor
ious rebels subduring them
only after hard and deadly
hand to hand encounters on
the parapets.
General ( Garazogas fought
valiantly himself and urged
his men on long after all
chance Of victory had gone.
He escaped with his life. Thou
sands OF Federals were driven
into the Panuco river, many
wounded losing their lives by
drowning

THE AMERICAN MEDIATORS
ARE in CONSULTATION
WEST VIRGINIA MEANS
OPPORTUNITY,

THE Little Mountain State Of
West Virginia The Switzerland
of America but when compar-
ed to other States and Countries
we find it is not so small. 1t is
twenty times Rhode Island, ten
times Delaware. five times Con-
necticut, three times Massachu-
sets, two times Maryland, two
times Holland, more than two
times Belgium, and about the
same size of the Kingdom Of
Greece and in the same latitude.
We can readily see, if the great
ness Of a state depends upon it's
size, we are big enough to receive
recognition, and to be enrolled
upon the scroll containing the
names of the great states and ma
tons Of the past. Do not under
stand US to say that the greatness
Of any state or nation depends
upon its area, but rather the con-
trary is true; Russia, the largest
nation in the world under single
government, is one Of the saddest
of nations; and Texas, the largest
state in our Union, is wanting in
many Of the persuits of happi-
ness,
It's not area alone, then, that
makes a state, but a diversity of
climate, soil, products, industries
and the people.
Our altitude extends from $50
feet to 1850 about sea-level, thus
|affording all the thrills and in
SEPARATIONS in passing from low to
high elevations.
Many places in our state have
long been known as health resorts
where many have been enabled
to take up their beds and walk,
and in returning to their homes,
bear the glad tidings to their
friends.
The great northwest holds out
as it's greatest inducement to cap
ital its we'll known fruit growing
climate and soil, but right here in
the eastern panhandle of our
state we have the largest orchards
in the world, the fruit from which
finds a ready sale in the Royal
marts of Europe. The western
part of our Domain is noted for
its grain and market farming,
while the central part cannot be
surpassed for grazing and gener-
al farming.
1t has been stated that we have
enough coal in our state to fur
nish fuel for the nation thou
sand years, and the greatest oil
wells known except one. Wemay
| also be interested to know that
the largest glass factory in the
world is located at Fairmont due
to the quality of our glass sand.
In passing we should notice our
lumber and paper industries
which use up hundreds OF thou
sands of feet of lumber from the
mountain sides each working day
lof the year. Fortunes are made
and spent in these great indus
tries many times In a month, and
when we consider these facts we
are led to believe that West Vir-
MEANS OPPORTUNITY.
But no inventory of our states
resources would be complete if
we should fail to mention our
water power, which is sufficient
to turn all the mills in New Eng
land, and which today is raging
and foaming on its way to the sea

high rank among the best Of our
day, and the boys and girls who
