Hampshire County Endorses C0TnWeII
for Governor.

The Democratic County Committee
of Hampshire County at a meeting
held on the 18th inst, passed unani-
mously the following resolutions of en-
dorsement of the candidacy of John ].
Cornwell for Governor:
Be it resolved: BY the Democratic
Executive Committee of Hampshire
county, that we heartily endorse the
candidacy of the Honorable John j.
Cornwell for the Democratic nominal
ton for Governor of West Virginia;
that we pledge him our unanimous
support in the coming Primary Elec-
ton. believing that he is the most
available candidate the party can sell
ect; that in urging the nomination of
Mr.. Cornwell, we are of the opinion
that no man in the State is better fit
ted to lead the party at this time, be-
cause he was the chief exponent of the
opposition to the Dawson Tax Laws
which have proven a hopeless failure
in their promised reduction of taves as
acknowledged by the attitude of the
present Stade administration; because
of his intimate knowledge of State af-
fairs, and especially because of his
high character, fine ability and person
al acquaintance with the voters of
every county in West Virginia.
Be it further resolved that the Chair
man of this Committee be instructed
to send these resolutions to the Press
Of the State with the request that the
same be published.

Mason County Endorses HOgg for Gov.
eTnOT.

At a meeting of the Democratic
County Executive Committee for Ma
son county, the following resolution
was unanimously adopted:
Whereas, Senator Cory Hogg, of
tayette county, was one of the Demo-
cratic leaders in the fight made at the
last session of the legislature against
the extravaganza and unpatriotic and
partizan conduct of the Republican ma
jority, aiding and abetting the Hatfield
administration, he fought against the
useless and extravagant new offices;
against the unfair and unjust charter
bills of Williamson, Hinton and other
towns, practically taking from the peo-
pie Of said towns the right of self gov
eminent, and so manifestly unfair as
to call for the condemnation of the At
torney General. who is now a candi-
date for the Republican nomination
for Governor.
This committee now desires to ex-
press its appreciation of his untiring
efforts in behalf of the people of this
State and his fight against oppression
and injustice. Therefore.
Be 1t Resolved: By this committee,
that it is with the keenest apprecia-
ton of the intelligent, active, earnest
and patriotic services of Senator Hogg
that we endorse his official conduct as
State Senator, and approve and en-
dorse his candidacy for Governor of
this State and hereby pledge our sup
port to his nomination and election.

FIRE IN THE FOREST
Less Than Three Hundred Thousand Acres
of National Forest Burned Dur
ing the Year 1915.

Forest fires burned over 100000 acres
of national forest land In 1915, accord
ing to official reports just compiled, or
less than two acres per thousand of total
forest land. Out of total of 6, 324 fires,
346, or 515 per cent, did damage to the
amount of 500 or more. The timber
loss was l56, 900, 900 feet, valued at $780,
000 Although the season was regarded
as one of unusual exposure, owing to
delayed fall rains, the loss was materi-
ally below the average of the last five
years. Over 81 per cent Of this loss oe-
Cured in the states Of Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho, while more than 72 per
cent was in Oregon alone. Besides the
timber loss, fires destroyed reproduc-
ton, or young tree growth, OF an estim-
ated value of only 100000. The loss
per fire in 1918 was S60.4l, which is
$l4.03 less than the fve-year average,
while the cost of fighting each fire was
S20.S3 less. Lightning figured as the
chief cause of forest fires in 1915, as it
does in most years, 283 per cent of the
fires being due to this cause, while cam
pers caused Is per cent, which was "a
per cent higher than the average.
Eleven per cent were caused by brush
burning, and nearly IL per cent were
of incendiary origin. Railroads were
responsible for nearly 8 per cent of the
fires in 1915, as against l44 per cent in
average years. The causes of over Is
per cent were unknown, and numbering
operations caused less than per cent.

the sunlight of the now desolate home
she was born at Deadwood April z, 1915.
A severe cold, from which pneumonia
developed was the cause of her death.

afternoon at the home of Mrs. Albion's
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. w. Smith,
and the baby was laid to rest in Custer
cemetery. Rev. Katherine w. Powell

acter was brought forth that the most
prejudiced could not but agree that
these arguments had no foundation.
