MARKETING
FACILITIES
TO BEBETTER
Cooperation Selling and Read
justment of Rates Planned
by Farm Official.
CHARLESTON. w. Va. Eel

CHARLESTON. w. Va, Feb. 10.
West Virginia, fruit growers are
about to come into their own, Is the
belief OF Colonel G. C. Pierce. OF
Kingwood, who is in charge of the
markets division Of the state depart
ment OF agriculture. Colonel Pierce.
who came to the city to confer with
HIS chief, Commissioner Howard Will
liams, spoke optimistlcally this morn
ing OF the outlook.
The plans of the divisions now are
first to organize the growers and
truck gardeners OF the state into CO.
operate selling c.saizations and then
to bring about an opening OF the out
side markets througnt better trans
portntion facilities brought about
largely through a readjustment OF
rates. One of tho objects of the di-
vision ia to educate the shippers to
better packing of their shipments.
Much has already been done" said
Colonel Pierce, "but we are going to
do more. In 1914. for example, only
ii cars were shipped to the markets
Of the South; in 1915 over 100 cars
were sent; and through tho reduction
of freight rates in the middle Of the
season, shipments were quadrupled
to points west of the Ohio river. The
aim is now to open up the markets
further West and South"
Colonel Pierce cited an instance OF
the Inequalities in freight rates that
are said TO exist. It cost $274 to
ship a car of peaches from Romney
to Logan, this state, and the same
shipment could have been made to
New Orleans for $50 less money. The
rate from Romney to Charleston on
peaches Is 60.3 cents per 100 pounds,
while the rate to Boston is eight cents
less. Apples to. go at third less
tariff, but the proportion is the same.
II is the purpose OF the division to
get the express and railroad heads to-
gether in an agreement with the
growers OF all fruits and truck and
bring about an equitable adjustment
of rates and an improvement Of ship
ping facilities that will result In
might boost for these industries in
all sections OF the state.

Mr.. CARMALT CHALLENGES
ASSERTION OF Mr.. THORNE
That Mr.. Brandies Did Not Act
in Good Faith in Rail-
road Case.
NOTHING TO CONCEAL
Tells the Committee That the
Position of Brandies in Case
Was Unknown to Him.
uY ASSOCIATED rsrss,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Janes W..
Carmalt, chief examiner Of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission before the
Senate subcommittee investigating
Tho nomination Of Louis d. Brandeis
to the supreme court bench Thursday
challenged the declaration of Clifford
Thorne, chairman of the Iowa rail-
road commission, that Mr. BrandeiD
had concealed from him tho attitude
hc would take In arguing the eastern
freight rate case before the commits
sion.
Wednesday Mr.. Thorne. who was
associated with Mr.. Brandels In the
trial of the rate case for shippers and
the commission, declared he was
"llmbfounded" when Brandeis at the
outset OF his closing argument con-
ccded the contention Of the railroads
that existing rate returns were In
adequate for the prosperity Of the
roads and the best interests Of the
public. q.
There is one incident firmly fixed
In my mind" said Mr.. Carmalt. IRE
gsrding q conversation Mr.. Thorne
Ind with me on the second day of the
argument on the rate case. Mr..
Thorne, understand, stated that
when the commission fixed the allot-
ment of time for attorneys to argue
The case he had asked the privilege
OF being permitted to follow counsel
for the shippers instead Of opening
tho argument.
"Mr. Thorne asked me what Mr..
Bnndeis's position would be In the
argument. There was no doubt in
my mind what Mr. Brandeis's posi-
tIon would be. had discussed III.
with him and he had told me. There
certainly was no disposition, TO coiis
ceal II from Mr.. Thorne. ! am con-
adeht that / told Mr.. Thorne that
MI Brahdeis would take the posi-
tlcn that the net operating income
oithe carriers was not adequate with
special stress on the central freight
association territory. Further, I said
he would take the position that the
Methods pursued by the carriers to
obtain greater revenue through a
torzonton Ave per cent increase was
not the proper method Of increasing
their revenues.
n am quite clear that 1t was the.
result OF this conversation that Mr..
Thorne wrote Mr.. Bradeis a note
asking about q change in the allot-
ment OF time. It Is very strongly my
Impression that because Mr.. Thorne
recognized the attitude Mr.. Brendeis
would take that Mr.. Brandeis got the 3
conception that Mr.. Thorne wanted
an opportunity to answer him in addi-
tion to his main argument in the
case"
Chairman Chiffon stated that his
understanding was that Mr.. Brandeis
was employed to assist in developing
"all sides of the case" and asked Car
malt II Brandeis helped Thorne de-
velop his side. Carmalt replied that
be did and said that. the data collected
from the railroads by the commission

Bandeis was available to all. s.

INTEREST
In Greatest Revival Ever Held
in First Methodist Church
Continues to Grow.

Despite the fact that the weather
has been for the most part decidedly
inclement, the interest continues in
the great revival being held in the
First Methodist Episcopal church.
Last night the seating capacity was
all taken up in the main building.
The sermon was another Of those
mastery orations against the ele-
ments of evil and the inhabitants of
the realm of darkness. So impress
sive were the words Of DR.. Morrison
that a number came forward at once
on the first invitation.
The music was exceptionally good
and showed a steady degree Of i'm
provement in Hiatt's big chorus.
There was a splendid attendance
at the MONDAY luncheon. The meet
ing yesterday afternoon for women
was very interesting and the number
present exceeded the expectations OF
the pastor, DR.. King, who has charge
of the plans and field york in the big
revival
Services will be held this evening
at the regular hour.

.F[UHARTY SAYS
There is Some Truth in the

charging him with attempting to de-
fraud her out Of board money Charles
0. Fluharty, Democratic candidate
for the nomination for mayor of
Clarksburg, declared that there was
some truth in the story. In fact 1t
has more truth than poetry.
Fluharty says he was not taken
into custody and brought before a
magistrate. He read the warrant and
went with the constable directly to
the Peoples home, where he arranged
to make settlement.
Now this looks pretty black.
said Fluharty, however, it will do
me no harm when the public learns
that the board-bill was some meal
tickets which some tramp printers
boarded out last summer an! left
without paying.
"As to the sleuthing which the Ex-
ponent employed in finding out the
truth. was uncalled for. there was
nothing secret about It at all. When
the fellows failed to pay their board,

MINERS AND OPERATORS
ARE TO COME TO TERMS
t+++++++4+++* :
HAPPY SELECTION
FOR COURT CLERK.

The Parkersburg State Jour
nal comments as follows on the
appointment OF Samuel r. Har-
rison, Of this city, as clerk Of
the United States district court:
The appointment by Judge
Dayton of the Hon. Samuel R.
Harrison, of Clarksburg, to be
clerk Of the United States dis
trict court for the Northern
district OF West Virginia, is a
fortunate one-made so not
only by the peculiar fitness Of
the appointee but by another
circumstance that is almost
equally affirmative.
Mr.. Harrison was clerk OF
the United States circuit court
when that tribunal was abol-
ished and the clerkship along
with it by congressional action.
The two courts we're merged
into one, and the life tenure Of
Mr.. Harrison In office was
brought to a termination. The
vacancy has afforded an oppor-
tunity to restore him to a post
that he was well fitted to serve
and out OF which he had been
mustered by circumstances.
Mr.. Harrison's appointment
will be pleasing 10 his friends
and particularly so to the pat
rons of the office, because Of his
efficiency and courtesy. 1t pal
liates so far as may be the
profound sense OF loss that was
occasioned by the untimely
death of his beloved predeces-
sor.

THE NESS IN MEXICO.

The slaughter OF the United States
soldiers by the Mexicans in the Car
rial battle seems a useless waste of
life. The character of the people
with whom they were dealing was
well known by the commanders Of the
American troops. and they invited
disaster when they isolated them
selves from the main body Of the
army. Three or four hundred miles
from the border, 1t Is natural that
half civilized Mexicans would view
their presence with suspicion. The
best leadership on earth could not
long control the savage horde. ana
there is no reason to believe that the
leadership is better than the rank
and file of the soldiery. The treach-
cry Of Gomez, the Carranza chief at
Carrizal, proves this.
1t may be that the fight will bring
war, though il is not clear yet that
1t should. II our soldiers were over
jealous, and If their actions pro-
yoked the attack, II would be wrong
TO enter warfare that would mean
sadness and mourning in thousands
Of American homes. The whole Mex
ican question has been SO badly mess
ed by the Washington authorities that
it seems a pity that war should fol-
low further messing.

The article written by DR.. Stricken
and published in the Courier today
Is most timely. The Rogue is becom-
Ing more popular every year, and
with the number OF swimmers run
ming to hundreds daily, there is add
ed an element OF danger that can be
largely eliminated by following the
Doctors advice and instructions. So
long as the Rogue flows and people
swim and boat there will be drown
ings. But everyone who goes to the
river should learn to swim, and then
should equip himself to aid in resus-

With the building developments at
the sugar factory. the magnitude Of
the new industry is impressed upon
the public mind. But the factory Is
only one feature OF the industry. and
that may be said to be the lesser
feature. The men who are building
the factory are banking upon the
enterprise and the industry Of the
people Of the community. They have
q right to expect that our land own

in sumcient quantities that the fac
tory can operate at . profit. II they
do not. there can be but single out

first year viii be more or less Of an
experiment. Some crops will not
prove profitable because Of the char
-acter Of the soil. its preparation and
the care given the crop during its
period Of growth. Enough has al
ready been demonstrated to show
that ground in proper tilth will pro-
duce wonderful crop Of beets. Also
that the reverse is likewise true. The
acreage Of beets next year must be
increased over this. though there Is
no use in wasting seed on lands not
properly prepared. The people Of this
district are under an obligation to
the factory people. That obligation
can only be discharged by growing
beets- So begin now to get ready

early and get it ready right. There
is no profit in 1t otherwise.
