LETCHER COUNTY
AND WHITESBURG
What is Happening in this
Rich Coal Territory

Whitesburg, KY, June 10.-That the
Letcher county coal and timber menus
are attracting attention throughout
the country is certain, and scarcely
day passes without one or more an
nouncements of new operations and
, developments soon to take place iii
the vast coal and timber field sur
rounding. Everything is hustling and
running full time in the plants of The
Consolidation Coal Co. and The Elk
Horn Mining Corporations in the
Boone's Fork and Elkhorn territory in
this county Within the next thirty
days no less than q half dozen new
timber operations, some Of which Will
be of considerable magnitude, will be
opened up in Letcher county, while
Immediately beyond the line in Perry
county htere are already number Of
big timber operations well under way.
The whole of Letcher and Perry
counties will son become a vast in
dustrial and commercial section-from
a coal and timber development propo-
sition. The exploitation Of great
money wealth is necessary for the
great amount of work taking place
and already untold millions of dollars
has been expended In the work.

Acting on the strength of public

for owners of these machines that if

MOTOR LAW TAKES EFFECT.

The recent enactment by the council
of the city of Pikeville has gone into
effect, but with some modification from
the original draft. The tax imposed by
the original on bicycles was, upon a
reconsideration of the act last Friday
evening, taken off, and the tax for IL
cense on all motor driven vehicles
operated for profit was lowered to SIS,
and on all of those operated only for
private purposes, to $40. The pro-
vision requiring bond to be given was
allowed to stand as a permanent part
Of the ordinance, also the provision
.banishing all motors from Main and
Second streets and connecting avenues
during Saturdays was allowed to stand.
This ordinance has created great ex-
element in Pikeville, and a petition
asking its repeal may be circulated for
public subscription at once. Disinter-
ested persons have stated that in their
opinion the ordinance was little too
drastic, and that If it is allowed to re-
main in force, it should at least be
supplemented by an additional re-
quirement that all wagons and teams
pay a similar license fee, and in this
way raise sufficient revenue to de-
fray the expenses of the street clean
ing department.
In the event the petition fails to Sc
cure a repeal of the law, test case
may be taken to the Court of Appeals
for final adjudication.

AND AFTER?
ON the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
In the pocket of man who killed
himself the other day in railroad
station was found clipping from n
Maeterlinck essay on death" This
sentence was underscored:
"In any case, it seems fairly GER
tain that we spend in this world the
cnly narrow, grudging, obscure and
sorrowful moments Of our destiny"
There were other suggestions of the
tragic force of circumstance that led
to the suicide. But this desire for
escape-with confidence that free
dom and peace were certain to follow
in what came after-seemed the CEN
tral thought in the mans mind.
But who in his senses has faith in
the sugary thought expressed by
Maeterlinck Few, if any, we think.
Notions of what comes after death
were never more various or less dog
matte than today. But the general
opinion driven home by a century of
scientific thought, we should say, is
that wherever and however it may
Semi-weekly herald., 1914-03-05

Those are the same words the presi-
dent himself used.
We would like to share the same
optimism, but the facts will not al
low it. Unable to compete with the
production by the cheap labor of
Europe, the American manufacturer
has found it necessary to cut down
his production, and thus people have
been thrown out of work. While all
of us would like to look on the
brighter side and believe that our
country is just as prosperous as it
ever was, we cannot do it with this
condition staring US in the face. The
tariff is responsible, just as it was
when Grover Cleveland occupied the
White house and controlled our in
dustrial affairs.
President Wilson said on num-
ber of occasions that legitimate bust
ness would not be interfered with,
just as did Secretary Redfield, but
we all know how he has hampered
business and has made it difficult
for the honest and legitimate bust
ness man to conduct his business, by
his investigations, and threatened
probes, by the further threats of his
cabinet member who declared that he
would start an investigation if any
manufacturer cut the wages of his
employees during the lifetime of the
administration, and by the new tariff
law.
Secretary Redfield also attempted
to present to his audience in Wheel
ing the fact the cost of living had
been made lower, as result of the
tariff. 1t is not necessary to go into
details or to try to point out the facts
in this regard. Every individual, the
student or the Indifferent one, is suf-
ficiently familiar with the facts in
this regard. Instead of the cost of
living being lowered, it has contin-
ued to rise within the past. Every
householder knows this.
All in all Secretary Redfield made
horrible failure of his attempt. We
would like to believe with him, but
conditions are not ropitious.-Pueblo
Chieftain.
