about eighteen men. BY this esti-
mate there were 500 days work for
one man
Now let8us give the amount or work
done by these men in this time. The
value of the work is made on the esti-
mate OF one who has spent much Of
his life in the bushes OF contracting
& Road work and qnarrying stone, re-
moving dirt, and the other kinds Of
work necessary in making road. We
base our estimates on the followins
rates: For quarrying the stone one
dollar per cubic yard measured after
it is placed on the road: for removing
dirt from the road-bcd twenty-fye
cents per cubic yard; for breaking,
tseventy-fve cents per cubic yard.
The length of the road made is
= 1862 feet, with an average width Of
twenty feet. and the depth OF stone
placed uron it will average fifteen
inches From these measures we see
that there were, In round numbers,
1,260 cubic yards of stone put on the
road The average depth OF the dirt
removed was fifteen inches, making
the number of yards of dirt removed
the same as that of stone put on the
road The making Of road to the
quarry took at least one hundred dol
lars worth of work. The quarrying
of the stone amounted to ST ,261;
breaking, loading and unloading the
stone, S945; removing dirt from road,
$3.50. The entire worth of all the
work amounts to $2,625. This value
of work done with $40 days work
makes approximately $1.60 per day.
This work was done without any ex-
pense for foreman as such over
sight as it received was given by
q. 3. Prunty and myself without
charge. With proper allowance for
the board of the prisoners the county.
is still reaping a profit OF fully one
dollar a day for each Of these pris-
oners.
There is no good argument to be
given against prison labor. If prop
erly managed it is unquestionably a
great success. DR.. C. o. Post is the
physician appointed by the county
court to look after the county pris-
oners. He and I both vouch for the !
fact that large per cent of the
prisoners who work on the road are
in much better physical condition.
when they leave the Jail than when
they enter it
When we consider that the pris-
oners who work on the road have bet
ter health on the average than those
who do not work we find that both
prisoners and the public are bene-t
flied by this law The legislature that
gave US this law did an act Of which
we may al be proud.

CHARLESTON. Mar. large

West Virginia coal by foreign buyers.
and the. outlook for improved coal
conditions is most Encouraging. said
a well-known coal man from the New
River field, who was in this city this
week.
Italy and Spain are going to place
large orders here. and there are pros
poets from all sections Of South
America. Ia the past much Austral-
ian coal has been shipped to South
America. which trade has been cut
OFF by the great European war. and
West Virginia is going to fet a large.
part Of this west coast trade through
the Panama canal.
The burning Of wood for steam
production is. in many South Ameri-
can countries. an obstacle facing the
coal shipper. but changing conditions
are bound to bring about a demand
for high-grade fuel ISL

In the old days. when coal miners
We're raised in the mines, accidents
of any magnitude were rare. but the
increased demand for the output has
called for more men. with the result
that a floating class constitutes a
large percentage OF the workmen In

from this inexperienced class. Hence
the necessity for a more closely de-
fined method OF throwing protection
around them and keepiSS them, out Of
the way OF danger

would not be left3in his path, ana the

who go to work IN the mines. tbs
IA naturally hazardou occupation at
its best. and they must be taught its
dangers. and as far as possible keep
the danger out OF their way.
The coal mines Of West Virginia
are as we'll equipped with safety de-
vices as any mines in the world, and
If the expenditure OF money would
prevent accidents there would never
state, for the operating companies
are anxious to have them reduced to
a minimum, and in addition to all
necessary expenditures along this line
are encouraging every move for the
better education or their employees
for their own protection. But the time
is ripe for strict attention by mine
officials to the small details that cause
accidents through the hands OF mex

Yes; we are going to roast them,
and we are going 10 roast them until
they are done, and we are assured BY
the poultry man in Arizona that the
flavor Of the young ostrich is more
palatable tina neither, the finest of
