AND DON'T FORGET THIS, ETHER

Only short while ago Omaha determined to
60 after one Of the fifteen new federal land banks
and the Commercial club committee having the
matter in charge called on Senator Hitchcock, as
our Omaha senator, to champion omahas claim.
But our great senator. who admits he is a
statesman positively refused to stand up for his
home town. Do you suppose Kansas City would
have gotten the federal reserve bank away from
us II Senator Reed, the Kansas City senator, had
not made the fight for his home town. Why
should Omaha stand up for a senator who won't

Practical Fire Protection.

New York, Oct 31.-To the Editor
of The Bee: An editorial paragraph
in The Bee of October Is calls atten-
ton to the undoubted fact that "cele-
bration of fire prevention days here
and there fail to make lasting i'm
pressions where impressions are
needed. Education and agi-
tation are wasted where carlessness
abounds."
The celebration of fire prevention
days is valuable as far as it goes, but
as you say, the impression is not last
ing unless supplemented by other
efforts to continue public interest. We
are, therefore, much pleased to notice
that The Bee is continuing its attack
upon the deep-rooted American care
lessness, and trust that there may be
many frequent expressions of opinion
in your editorial columns. This is a
practical and important public service.

This covers the entire existence of
our municipal court, which opened
the first of March, superceding the
police court and a half dozen justice
courts, and includes both municipal
cases and those brought under the
general law as state cases. l do not
think there are any Implications, but
some of the fluctuation is due to the
fact that there has been an effort to
have larger number of these cases
brought under the city ordinances,
hence the DRINKS are being docketed
for other offenses as violating city
ordinances or operating automobiles
while drunk etc.

er, James G. Christian, 81 years
old, had died at Lyons View
sanitorium, and to come to
Church Hill, their home, to at
tend the funeral. The boys
went as quickly as trains could
carry them and on their arrival
at Curch Hill Tuesday morning
found the box supposed to CON
tain the body of their father on
the station platform. They
opened it and in the features Of
the corpse saw stranger.
Communications by wire with
the officials of Lyon View dis
closed that a mistake had been
made in giving out the name of
a man who died there and that
instead of James @. Christian
the corpse had been James
Britton, formerly of Greeneville,
Tenn. Mr.. Christian is still
alive and fairly we'll at the san

Road Work.

MIR. G.. w. Scott, of Norton,
County Superintendent OF pub
roads, was in town last Friday
and informed us that the grad
ing OF the back valley road,
leading from Minton's store up
the valley to Il connection with
the main valley pike was com
pleated, and that the next
work will be that of Maca-
damizing about 1000 feet of
road at Cadet that the county
had agreed to 10 some time ago.
During the past spring and
summer the following roads in
the Richmond Magisterial Dis.
trict have been re-surfaced with
first class grade of asphalt,
and they are now in the best
of conditions: From Appala
CHA to Stonega; from Appala.
lachia to blackwood; from APP
palachia TO Inman; from APP
palachia TO Big Stone Gap, and
from the mouth OF PlSeoD creek
to 1mboden.
The work of resurfacing the
road from Big Stone Gap up the
valley TO Norton will be com
menced within the next ten
days. This road was surfaced
with Tarvy last year, which
proved very unsatisfactory, and
the district will now give it q
coat of asphalt, which will

TOWN BUYS DUMMY
BRIDGE.

AT the regular council meet
ing last Tuesday, the 9Th inst,
the town purchased the part of
the East Fifth Street bridge
owned by the Dummy Com
pany, paying therefore 81 800 90
ana canceling taxes and water
rents due from the company
amounting To, approximately,

-, 10000. The bridge was erect,
ed in 1904 jointly by the town
and Dummy Company at a cost
for the steel work Of IS, 900. of
which the town paid ut the
time for the wagon and walk
way $500 and the Dummy
Company $500.
Considerable hesitation was
felt by the council in making the
purchase at this time because
of tho financial condition of the
town treasury and the action
taken was the result of appre-
hension that the Dummy Com
pany,s part of the bridge might
be sold and removed, n thing
the council did not want to see
done.
The side owned by the town
is Il 10 ton bridge, while the
dummy sid e has capacity of
100 tons and could be iloored
with concrete and still carry
heavy tonnage.
1t is still hoped by some that
eventually n trolly line may be
built through the Gap, which
would make the bridge valu
able link in the line, and this
is thought to be the main rea-
son for the town council taking
action to insure its stay where
it is.
