DOGS AND MULES ARE
 REGISTERED VOTERS

Charlestown, W. Va, May 31.-Because the state supreme court is convinced a large number of mules, dogs and dead persons are registered as actual voters, and that many fictitious names are on the registry lists, the court late yes terday awarded peremptory writ of mandamus commanding the county court of Mingo to meet forthwith and strike from the registration list for the lower Red Jacket precinct of that county, a large number of names of illegal voters. The petition was filed by Harry Chalfin, who declared to the higher court on be- half of democratic voters that with the dogs, mules and corpses on the registra- ton lists, Tt will be impossible to hold fair election

Steel and Iron Business Is Now Going at PhenOm-
 enal Pace
COLD FIGURES ARE
 REAL REVELATION
Edmonds' Estimates This Years Production at Virtually Double That of the Year Nineteen Hundred and Fourteen
By HOLLAND

New York, May 31.-(Special) )-When speaking this morning of the stupendous financial, industrial and commercial ac- tivities now in progress, one of the lead CTS in the financial district said: We stand so closely face to face with the majestic currents that we are unable to get real understanding of what they mean. Sometimes it makes me think of the difficulty visitors to Niagara Falls i experience in grasping the magnitude of 1 the waterfall when they stand very near i to it. They must get away to a consid- | erable distance before there begins to be l some apprecia ton of this force of na- | ture.
 This leader was speaking of the steel and iron industry, saying that there ap- pears to be no real comprehension of it's magnitude and what it's meaning is for the United States at this time. Occa- sionally the published reports of the
 United States Steel corporation furnish excellent hints of the amount of manu- facture now carried by this corporation and of the markets which the commodi- ties reach. So, also, the reports which tell the story of the amount of resources and cash the corporation possesses sug- gest the magnitude of it's operations. It is known that the independent iron and steel companies are occupied, relatively speaking, as greatly as is the United States Steel corporation.
 It was not, however, until the census department at Washington issued a few days ago it's statistics that told the story of the iron and steel business since 1914
 that comprehensive figures representing
 the entire industry have been made avail
 able.
 The census authorities are now able to
 report that the output or the steel works
 and rolling mills of the United States in
 1914 was, represented in dollars, $916, ,00O,- 900, round numbers
 As it Was in 1909
 Going back to 1909, so that comparison
 may be made with the statistics reported for that year, 1914 makes an unfavorable
 showing for in 1909 the money value of the output of steel works rolling mills
 was, stated in round numbers, $9S6 000, GOO. Here was a falling off of $69,000, GOO. Any one can read behind this comparison the
 story of the depression in iron and steel industries in five years due entirely to stagnaton in business.
 It was in the year 1914 when in the last

 It was also ordered that the roads establish low through rates to junction points with other roads in Kentucky and Tennessee. Approximately 1200 rate changes from the Alabama district go per cent of which were minor reductions, and approximately 100 changes from Illinois and Kentucky mines. of which 80 per cent were increases, is shown in a table attached to the commissions or der. In the big majority of cases the amount of increase, or decrease. was from to 15 cents per ton.

IOOl-nO mOSquItOS. UrOVc Park nm Sunset Mountain, AsheviIIe, NC. the finest Resort Hotel in the World. It is absolutelyfireproof and open all the year.
 The 120-acre, 18-hole, golf course is the finest in the South-it is blue grass course. All the water used at the Inn comes from the slopes of Mount Mitchell, the highest mountain east of the Rockies, nearly seven thousand feet altitude. The milk and cream come from Biltmore Dairy on the estate of the late Geo w. Vanderbilt
 It is the cleanest, most sanitary hotel ever built. Every floor is tile. Every bedroom has Mosaic tile covered with French rugs made at Aubusson, France. The foods are the finest money can buy The kitchen is spotless white tile to the roof and pure white Mosaic tile floors The buildings are built of great mountain boulders- some of the walls are five feet thick
 We are three and half miles from the railroad. The street cars are not allowed to come near enough to be heard. We burn coke-not soft coal. Automobiles not allowed near the building during the night Thus we have no smoke, no dust, no train noise. We have pure air, common sense, digestible food, quiet in the bed rooms at night, the finest Orchestra outside of New York and Boston, great organ, and an atmosphere where refined people and busy business men with their families find great comfort and good time
