Conservation of Good Citizenship

is an enormous discrepancy yet between the

more largely in this enterprise, which is con-
structive in the highest sense.
Articles on the business situation which
The Times-Dispatch printed yesterday showed

who Is wrons-the City or the Rniivayr


To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir,-Now that bad weather has set in and
as Broad street, west of Allison Street is in a
shape any small town hamlet should be
ashamed of. citizens of the West End must
allow the Virginia Railway and Power Company
to stop its cars In such manner as to make
us walk half city block to the rear entrance
of the car and then run chances of being left
by his majesty the conductor or motormnn
In recent issue of of our daily papers
noticed where our Mayor had issued instruc-
lions or requested the company to notify It's
motormen and conductors that when streets
were torn up in bad condition that they
should stop all cars where the passengers could
get on and off without sinking In mud I'D to
their shoctops, we'll riskng their limbs
and lives.
Now is the time for all citizens to think about
the new franchise the company is asking The
near-side stop ordinance Is In effect but the
company has failed to adopt the near-sde equip
ment that Is so necessary to make this ordi-
nance run smoothly and successfully.
Now that our city government has given the
company this ordinance. let the citizens of Rich
mond get the city make the company so fix its
cars that there will be near-side entrances as
we'll as exits, or else instruct Its motormen and
conductors to little common sense and
stop the rear of their cars the crossings of
unpaved streets in this section. or any other
section, of our city.

MILLEKS OIL BOOM
IS VERY SHORT-LIVED

An oil rush occurred in the valley
hear Millers, where it was reported
that excellent oil indications had been
found. The finder brought back to
camp a large block of bituminous
looking stuff that looked good and
was sent to the Tonopah Extension
for a test. In the meantime news of
there was a lively demand for placer
location notices. A string of autos
left for the scene late in the after
noon and one of the early locators
made a gun play on a party occupy
ing the auto of Ralph Wardle by
drawing a %forty-four and threatening
the lives of those in the car unless
they told who divulged the secret of
the find. The trouble maker was too
full of booze to use the gun and the
party soon disposed of him.
The sample brought into Tonopah
proved worthless and the excitement
passed away as quickly as it rose.
The truth just came to light this
afternoon, when a close examination
of the Millers district disclosed the
fact that the excitement was due to
traces or creosote exuding from
chemically treated power poles re-
Gently planted in the desert. This
stuff gathered in small pools and de-
pressions and led the first locator to
think he had a fortune in oil. The
first locator is still holding down his
group of ten claims with a shotgun
and threatening to xiii any man who
dare approach his ground.-Bo-

ALABAMA PRODUCES
100000 TONS COAL

The production of coal in Alabama
in 1913 was 17,67S,522 short tons,
valued at the mines at $~23,0S3,724,
according to figures compiled by K.
w. Parker of the United States ge-
illogical survey, in cooperation with
the Alabama geological survey.
The increase in coal production in
Alabama in 1913 compared with
1912 was ~1,577,922 short tons in
quantity and $2,254.472 in value.
This increase was due to several
causes During a part of 1912 some
of the larger companies were in the
hands of receivers and this condition
cut down the possible output for that
year. The production vas further
restricted by the burning of the tip
pie at one of the large mines. Sew

tended their workings. Labor condi-
lions we're much better in 1913 than
in either 1912 or 1911, and car
shortage was less acute in 1913 than
in relent years, as some of the large
coal-carrying roads have added mate
rally to their facilities for handling
the output. The increased tonnage
was principally to points outside of
the state. The relations between op-
orators and mine workers were gen.
orally harmonious and increased
wages were put into force in Febru-
airy. Earnings by miners and mine
laborers in 1913 are said to have
been higher than ever before in the
history of coal mining in Alabama,
and improved sanitary and living
conditions put into effect by many
companies added to the general bet
torment. The number of men en-
ployed in 1918 was 24,552, against
22,613 in 1912. The total time lost
by strikes in 1913 was 27,041 days.
