Boozers Bagged At Martinsburg.

A raid by prohibition officers at Mar
tinsburg last Friday night caught more
fish and bigger ones than were expect
ed, and there has been consideraL
embarrassment as result. For sor
time past the open disregard of the
State and Federal laws against the IL
legal bringing in and sale OF LIQUOR
has been scandal in the community
and conditions had become so out
rageous that it was agreed that some
thing-not too much, however-shoulc
be done. Accordingly the State prohi.
bition officers and the Federal marshal
and deputies planned haul for Fri
day night, working in conjunction with
local officials. The outside men showed
an unexpected zeal in the matter, ane
they not only bagged the notorious
bootleggers and small-fry offenders, but
ruthlessly stopped the automobiles OF
prominent citizens who were bringing
in liberal supplies for Christmas JOY
The Williamsport pike was a scene OF
confusion when numerous officers stop
ped heavily laden cars coming in from
MARYLAND and Pennsylvania with con
signments of liquor, and though warn
ing got out and a good many took to-
by-roadS and some came around
Shepherdstown, some thirty-hve or
forty were bagged and brought to town
Among those who were caught were
notorious bootleggers, but along VII
them were men of social and Official
standing who did not relish the posi-
ton in which they found themselves
Some were held in heavy bond T.
answer to the courts, while others we
released on their own recognzance
for further appearance.
II is reported that the public pros
ecutors of both the State and Federal
courts are exceedingly 10th to push the
cases, and each accuses the other OF
having brought the trouble on prom
inent citizens. We should never init
mate that sworn officers of the law
would fail in their plain duty of prose
cutting all offenders, rich and poor, high
and low, alike, but this item concern
ing the case, taken from the Martins
burg Daily World, gives ground foF
reflection:
at is a safe guess that few if any OF
the persons taken in the recent raids
will ever be called to answer before the
bar of the law If official interference
can prevent it."
The public will await with interest
TO see whether or not the above crit
cism is justified.

Important Business Change.

AS may be seen by the announcement
in another column, two of the leading
grain and coal and general warehouse
firms of Shepherdstown, S. j. Hodges
and w. N. Lemen & Son, have consol-
idated and their business will hereafter
be conducted under the name of the
Hodges-Lemen Company, Incorporated
S. J. Hodges, of the first-named firm
will be president and general manager
and David Lemen, who has conducted
the business OF the latter, will be secre-
tary and treasurer. The elevators will
be operated separately, but the office
the new company will be at the Lemen
elevator. Mr.. Hodges states that by the
combination considerable economies
can be affected, better buying methods
can be utilized, the duplication of
stocks avoided, and other Improvements
made that will inure to the benefit OF
their customers. The general mel
chandise store of Mr.. Hodges is not
in the combination.
The consolidation of these two well
known firms is one of the most import
ant business changes effected in
town in recent years. The late g. 7
Hodges and the late w. N. Lemen began
operations here by the the erection o.
elevators when the Shenandoah Vale
Railroad reached Shepherdstown almost
forty years ago. Both passed away
after honorable business careers, and
the business they conducted was con-
tinued by their sons in an eminently
satisfactory. manner. They have dealt
fairly with the public and have given
unremitting attention to business. Mr.
Lemen's health has been bad for the
past couple of years, and he has thus
been handicapped. We have no doubt
that the new firm will meet with con-
tinued success and favor, and we hope
that it may always be prosperous and
business institution in which our com
munity shall have pride and which our
people shall find convenience. The
new corporation will begin operations
the first of January, 1919.

plication to the Public SerYicf Iom-
mission for permission to increase its
rates. There's nothing left Tor the
company but higher rates If 1t Is Il
continue in business. Its own expenses
for labor and supplies have increase
greatly and the low rates that nav
prevailed are not now sufficient to meet
expenses. So an increase is an aoSo
lutte necessity. We understand that
advance of about 80 per cent over
present rates has been applied for. II
should be granted.
The Register has been sending out
notices to those who are in arrears ior
subscription, and will continue with
this work until all who are behindhand
have been notified. Most Of our sub
scribers respond cheerfully, but there
are still few who fail to make &C
acknowledgements. These will have to
be cut off, under the new regulations
the first of January, and this may
therefore be the last copy OF the Reg
lister they will receive until they pay
up. We hope that everybody who owes
for subscription will square up-don'
wait for the bill, but examine the dat'
on your label and act accordingly.

Proceedings of the County Court.

AT the session of the Jefferson Coun-
~ Court last week various district Of
hcers elected at the November election
appeared before the court and gave
bond for the faithful performance OF
the duties of their Office.
A call was issued for the retiremen'
of $4,000 in Jefferson county bonds OF
the issue of 1887, which reduced the
county debt to the extent of $1,000.
The court on rising in the afternoon
went to Halltown and examined the
bridge over the run there, with vie"
to widening the same.
All bids for the removing Of the oil
Jail building were rejected.
The court by unanimous vote passed
the following resolution:
Whereas, the term of Office Of Daniel
Hehebower, a commissioner OF this
court for the past eighteen years, ex-
pires at the close Of this year, we, tn
remaining members of said court, who
have participated in the labors and
responsibilities with him, desire to ex-
press our sincere regret at the sever
ance of the official bonds that hav
bound us together; therefore be it.
Resolved, that we thoroughly ap-
preciate that strict integrity, that de-
votion to duty, and that unfalterine
desire to guard the treasury of the PEG
pie, that has so characterized Com
missioner HeAebower all during his
term Of Office. And in further token
our respect and esteem We place thi:
preamble and resolution on the minutes
of this court, direct that copy be pre-
scented to Mr. Hehebower, and reques
the newspapers Of the county to pub
lish same.

The Nenana daily news. (Nenana, Alaska) 1918-1921, 1918-08-26
COMMUNITY BACK-PULLING

Governor Riggs said something
when he informed Nenanaites the
other evening that the little jealous
les between towns in Alaska have
a tendency to retard and obstruct
the measures that are being taken,
as we'll as those in contemplation,
for the betterment of conditions in
the country at large. The extent
to which this community back-pull-
ing has been carried on in the past
undoubtedly has hurt the territory
and it just as surely will continue
to hold development back until
Alaskans have learned to work
harmoniously for the general up
building of the Northland.
Agitation of the sort referred to
by the governor has tendency to
make labor restless and capital
timid, and no community which
seeks to stimulate local development
at the expense of some other COM
munity can prosper for long. That
kind of agitation is not confidence
inspiring and sooner or later the re-
action will set in. The agitating
town or community is always hard
est hit in the end, but, in the case
of Alaska, lack of cooperation has
retarded development throughout
the entire territory.
A glazing instance of this COM
munity back-pulling is found in a
recent issue of Fairbanks news
paper, in the advertisement of a
prominent merchant Everything

vertisement, ''must be shipped Out
side. We are packing every day
because there are not enough people
left to buy them. Don't be fooled
about what put the crimp in Fair
banks. 1t was not the war, but it
was the building of Nenana. And
the joke of it is that everyone in
Fairbanks knows it. Many act as

duction in the U. S. has increased
by leaps and bounds. Mines long
laid by as exhausted have become
miraculous producers. The Rand
and every other gold producing re-
gions outside the United States have
ceased to produce; (only U. S.
mines have gold), that is to say
ostensibly they have ceased but the
actually is that they have pro-
duced more than ever before, and
the gold has found it's way into
the sluices and reduction works of
the United States as local product

if they enjoyed it. We don't. Every
vacant building in Fairbanks could
be occupied, were it not for the
building of Nenana."
Such an advertisement certainly
does not inspire confidence in the
future of Fairbanks. 1t reads much
like a boost for Nenana, and we have
no doubt it will help Nenana to the
extent of stimulating travel in this
direction, though probably not in
tended to do so. In reality, it is
criticism of the Alaskan Engineer
ing commission for having founded
the town of Nenana at a central
point on navigable river instead
of establishing construction head
quarters on Cinema slough, at the
very end of the proposed railroad.
Whatever may have been the pur-
pose of the advertisement, those who
read it will gather the impression
that business conditions at Fair
banks are not good, and to that ex-
tent will the Interior country be
injured.
AS matter of fact, Nenana and
the government railroad have been
and are still very generous con-
tributors to Fairbanks merchants,
putting money into circulation there
which would have been lost to the
Interior but for the coming of the
railroad builders. Government dol
lars, in large measure, have taken
the place of returns from mining,
with the decline of which the found
ing of Nenana has had nothing what
ever to do. Fairbanksans should
not discourage the expenditure Of
government and Nenana dollars.
They should strive to stimulate bust
ness relations between the two
towns, and work with Nenana and
the Alaskan Engineering commits
sion for the betterment of condi-
tons throughout the Interior, and
the advancement of the interests of
the territory at large.
