SALMON RUN
 IN SCHOOLS

The remarkable run of salmon continues in Icy and Chatham straits, according to Captain An drew Johnson, of the halibut boat Gypsy.
 At Excursion inlet the cannery is blocked with fish. Wednesday two extra scows were transferred to another cannery and three traps closed for several days as the can- nery is over-supplied with fish.
 Captain Johnson declares the salmon are in enormous schools and he has never encountered such a run of fish in his Alaska experience of many years. He says the 'halt- but are being stamQeded by the un- sual number of salmon, and are rae ing around close to the surface Of the water making 1t hard for the hallbut fisherman to get their catch .-DlsDaIch.

BALL
 VAS PLAYED

With an almoSt perfect day a big crowd witnessed The game of ball between the Has Beens" and tn Business Men" yesterday af- ternoon. It was a spirited and well contested exhibition of the great American game and was in- tersUersed with snappy plays and sluggish errors. The game ended in a tie in the seventh inning and these two teams will have to have another try before the question of suDremacy is settled. Cleon Ask showed up with much of his old time vim and hurled the sphere Through the entire game for the Business Men, "Slim" Leach pitched for the Has 'Beens" and had he had better support would have made fire showing. Leach has speed and control and will be looked up- on in future as good material for the bigger team.
 Taken all together the game was au enjoyable one and the citizens hope these contests will be con- tinued.

Heavy Shows.

iiCdNy SnOWSs
We have had real winter weather the
past week. Last Friday snow began to
fall about noon and steadily reinforced
the big white blanket that had covered
the earth since the first OF the week II
continued during part of the day on Sat-
urday, and then Stacked up. Saturday
night IT began again and came down per-
sistently all day Sunday, piling up the
snow higher than il has been in this sec
ton for a long time. AT the Register
building il measured IA inches in depth
after it had melted considerably, and
others report il TO have been as much as
Is inches deep, though 10 inches would
probably be an average. The snow was
all very wet AMI consequently unusually
heavy. Some one reported that on set
OF hay scales there was just eco pounds.
Fear was expressed that the weight might
be too much for some OF the roofs, but
we have heard OF few accidents. A cold
wave on Monday froze crust on top Of
the snow and prevented it from drifting,
and also stopped the melting process.
The roads have been so filled with snow
and mud that travel has been limited, and
few persons have ventured on the high
ways except in case OF necessity.
From other sections come reports OF
considerable damage caused by the COL
lapsing OF buildings from the weight Of
snow. In Washington county, Md, the
loss will amount 10 thousands OF dollars.
A large barn on the farm OF J. NJ Castle,
near Brownsville, was completely de-
stroyed when the roof gave way under
the weight of snow. The roof on the
large barn of Davii Snively, near Eakle's
Mills, collapsed. AT Keedysvile the i'm
plement warehouse OF A. c. Pry caved
in. A half dozen stables and other build
ingS at Boonsboro were wrecked.
In Berkeley county the roof OF the barn
on A. g. Legg's place at Bunker Hill
caved in, and the roof at the brick plant
OF the Adamantine Clay Products Com
pany at North Mountain was also de-
molished.

answer the question, which is: Why are
not cents used to prevent damage il takes
dollars TO repair? Every one knows, OF
course, that we haven't money enough TO
keep our roads in fair condition, much
less improve them, but, unfortunately,
the farmers Of Jefferson county, with very
few exceptions, are in such dread OF hav-
ing their tax rate raised few cents and
each one seems afraid that road ia some
other direction maybe improved first,
which wouldn't be fair forgetting, ap-
parently, that benefit to the whole COM
munity is a benefit 10 each member OF If.
While all farm products have OF late years
increased in price and in profit, farm
lands in Jefferson county do not sell tor
what they did five years ago Has the
condition OF our roads anything TO do
with this ?

In the Circuit Court.

A big feature of the proceedings OF the
Jefferson Circuit Court the past week,
says the Advocate, was the unusually
large number of compromises OF contests
over delinquent taxes. Some eight or
ten suits to recover varying amounts for
taxes alleged to be due on account OF the
failure OF property owners to list their
holdings properly with the assessor were
settled without the publicity OF court
trial. The largest amount recovered in
any one case was SITS. A majority OF
the defendants in these suits are residents
OF Shepherdstown district.
In the case OF the B. & o. Railroad
Company VS.. c. A. J. Hoke and Annie
Mundey, two weeks were allowed c. A.
!. Hoke and children to file an answer.
Prosecuting Attorney Poherfield moved
the court TO discharge Edward Turner and
William Johnson, stating that he was I'm
willing to attempt prosecution OF them,
owing to insufficient evidence TO secure
a conviction. Turner is white man and
was indicted for selling hard cider. john
son is the negro accused OF numbering an
Italian at Millville last summer.

II was reported here upon reliable
authority today that E. Graham Wilson,
the former wealthy farmer and stock
dealer OF Jefferson county, had been par
doned from the West Virginia Peniten-
tiary BY Governor Hatfield, and is now
said 10 be patient in a hospital in Bal
timore. 1t is said that his health has
been completely wrecked. AS will be

after sensational trial. OF criminal as
sault upon Miss Kate Turner, also res
ident OF Charles Town, and was sentenced

A few weeks ago John Stuart and Fred
Nail, who are described as young men of
prominent families in Winchester, were
fined 800 each for setting oil a bomb in
the night on one OF the principal streets
OF that city. Besides damaging property
TO considerable extent, many persons
were badly frightened, and the death OF a
woman was FASTENED by the shock.
Last Saturday these same young men
were convicted OF torturng dog with
acid and were sentenced to serve 90 days
on the State roads, but later sentence
was suspended. II is not stated why
such hoodlums should have their pun
