A DISASTROUS FIRE.

s. E. Kilker, residing south of Diet
rich. had the misfortune to have his
house burned last Saturday about two
o'clock in the afternoon. The fire was
of unknown origin. Mrs. Kilker was
at work in another part of the house
when she discovered smoke coming
from the kitchen and within ten min
utes after the discovery the house
caved in from the fire. All the house
hold goods were lost, with small
insurance on them. The most valu-
able article from a money point Of
view was an electric player piano.
But the greatest loss was in some
heirlooms of the family Jewelry and
pictures some of which had been in
the family for five generations and
were priceless as mementoes. Some
family pictures brought from England
more than a hundred years ago. \
watch which Mr. Kilker had carried
since he was lad of twelve were
among the treasures lost.

COUNTY ASSESSORS MEET AT
BOISE.

At call from Governor Alexander
the county assessors met last week in
Boise to discuss the subject Of taxa
ton and plan to get to some sort OF
understanding that would result in a
more equitable assessment of the prop

amount of tax the average citizen
pays don't worry him half as much
as the feeling that he is paying more
in proportion to his property than
some other man. 1t is to overcome
any foundation in fact for such feel
ing that this meeting was called. There
was a good response to the Govern
ors call, all but seven of the county
assessors of the state being present.
The meeting was held in the state

the governor reading a paper in which
he discussed the problems of just and
equitable assessments, calling atten-

UP COMPLETION
Of NAY3O.PLANS
Committee is Anxious That
They Report Intentions
Promptly.

Whether Memorial day in Fairmont
is to be a success or not depends alb
solutely on the organizations that
have been asked to take part in the
ceremonies of that holiday. Several
of these have announced through the
official representatives that they will
be right on hand for the parade and
will also join in whatever other part
of the program they are asked to.
There are few, however, that have
not got around to the announcement
of their intentions to either be in or
out of the parades. The sooner these
are received by City Clerk Albert j.
Kern the sooner the entire program
can be completed.
The executive committee knows that
Congressman Henry T. Rayney will be
here and that the bands will be pres
emit and this much has been cared for.
But the organizations that have not
readily responded to the invitation
have been holding up matters some

COAL SHORTAGE IS
BLAMED ON ROADS
Producers, However, Are
Charged With Response
bility For High Prices
(Ry Assoclated Pressl

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 21.-The
bituminous coal shortage is blamed on
the railroads in a report today by the
Federal Trade Commission.
Producers by taking advantage Of
lack Of cars are charged with respon,
sibility, however, for the prevailing
high prices.
There is no scarcity of coal in the
ground" the report said. There is
sufficient coal in the bituminous coal
mines now being operated, not only to
supply the present demand, but also to
supply a greatly Increased demand.
The unprecedented demand for this
fuel in the past six months, together
with the difficulty Of coal and water
transportation not only have absorbed
coal as fast as 1t could be shipped from
mines but have led also to almost com.
plete exhaustion focal stored at the
tide water points.

HIGH SCHOOL CLASS DAY ExER-
cIsEs ALSO TO BE HELD
AWAY FROM SCHOOL.

The commencement exercises of the
Fairmont High school will be held this
year in the First M. E. church on Fair
mont avenue. This change was made
necessary owing to the TACT that the
High school auditorium would not &C
comnodate the crowds that attend the
commencement day exercises. The
school was offered the ses6f''the
church and this is greatly appreciated.
The auditorium of the M. =. church
will seat practically twice as. many
people as will the High school audi
torium.
The class day exercises which we're
announced to take place in the audi
forum of the school will be held in the
Opera House instead. This exercise
will be held on the evening on Monday,
June 4 and the regular commencement
day exercises will be held on the fol-
lowing evening, Tuesday, June 5.
The grade commencement will be
held on the evening of Friday, June s.

MARION COUNTY may SECURE
CONCENTRATION CAMP SITE
Spot Near ManniRgton to be
Put Up to the War
Department.

Marion county, competing with Ka-
nawha and Cabell counties will en-.
deayor to land the State Concentration
Camp for West Virginia according to
information learned yesterday West
virginia is asked to provide q camp
site suitablessp aSs spFs least So
900 soldiers and a committee will leave
Washington shortly to look over the
land offered by this county and by
Charleston and Huntington,
Between Fairmont and Warrington
there is a large space which can be
utilized for just such a purpose. This
space Is in and about the borders OF
Lincoln and Warrington districts at
Downs and Homewood. Owners OF
this land visited Major M. M. Nicely
yesterday and offered this space for
the soldiers. Congressman Nicely at
his office in the city this morning
stated that he would accompany the
committee to be sent here by the War
department and use his influence to
get the camp FOB Marion county, pro-
yided Marion county is suitable, which
the thinks it is. He did not know
the date when the committee would
leave washington, but felt That would
be soon.
Running through this section are
Buffalo creek and Mods Run and gas
and electricity would be easily pro
yided by the traction line which runs
through here. The fields which com
prise the possible concentration camp
are extensive and drainage Is OF the
best. Railroads are close by cutting
through part Of the camp site and
the roads over which teams would have
to drive are very good.
There Is everything In Marion coun'
tvs favor, the site being in the part
Of the state where railroad facilities
are the best and where there are num-
erous outlets on all sides to any CON
nection railroad. The plot is not too
close to the Ohio river, Is handy to
the Monongahela river and within a
coal, oil and gas field that not only
can provide all sorts Of accommoda'
tions but that also needs the protection
Of the soldiers. Arrangements are be-
ing made to have all data necessary
and to accompany the committee to
the grounds when it arrives, the otfic'
ials of the traction company who
have the interests Of this section OF
west Virginia at heart compiling this
data. 1t is not known whether THIS
concentration camp will automatocal'
IL do away with the Mobilization camp
at the Fair Grounds but those looking
after the matter feel that 1t will.
