could boast was its being named
for the most noted pioneer in the
history of our country. 1t may
open the eyes of some to know
that Boone is now likely to claim
attention from other considera-
tions. Isolated for so long for
lack of railroad and dirt road IA
cilities, it could not be other than
a little mountain town, but the
present indications are that this
isolation will soon be only a mem.
ory of the past. Already one
railroad comes in and there are
prospects of others at no distant
day. Also the county having
voted 100000 for good roads, a
highway is now being construc-
ted from east to west through
the county link of a great ma
tional highway. This highway
passes through Boone, and with
others soon to be constructed
will bring Boone into close con-
tact with many of the larger cit
les of our own and other states.
The location of Boone makes it
an ideal summer resort, and it
will soon come into it's own in
this respect with it's present and
increasing facilities. No place
contains more beautiful, inviting
knolls for the buildingofsummer
homes, so situated that pure run
ming water can be secured at
small cost. 1t is free from the
day fogs to which many other
mountain resorts are subject.
It's climate makes it atineplace
for all kinds of manufacturing,
especially in the line of wood
working and fruit canning. The
manufacture of maple sugar and
cheese has already started up in
this section, with prospects OF
greatly increasing in importance
A number of buildings arenov
under construction. The volume
of business has possibly doubled
within the past few months, ant
other firms are seeking business

ut is impossible at present to state
finally what will be the composition of

Former Gear Is Alive,
Says Grand Duke Cyri
Gets Letter From Empress Stat
ing That Count Sacrificed
Himself for Emperor

LONDON, Jan. s. British wireless
service) e)-According to a story sent by
a special correspondent of the "Morning
Post" at Archangel-which it is neces-
sary to treat with reserve-the former
Emperor of Russia is still alive. The
correspondent telegraphs:
"a friend of mine, Prince Nj, who
has just arrived here from Petrograd,
Informed me that he had long talk
with Grand Duke Cyril on November
1S. The Grand Duke told him that he
had just received letter from Grand
Duchess Tatiana, daughter of the En-
peror, who wrote that the Empress and
her daughters we've still alive and that
the Emperor had not been shot.
"The Bolshevik officer who was or
dered to carry out the sentence of
death told the Emperor that it was a
matter of Indifference to him who was
shot. He had orders to produce a
corpse-bullets in the head of victim
would make Identification impossible.
Count T, who was present at the
conversation, offered to sacrifice him
self, saying he considered it was his
duty to lay down his life for his
sovereign. The Emperor protested We
hemently, but was overruled by Count
T and the officer. The Emperor
escaped, but no one knows where he is
,'at the present time.
CDR. Botkin has also written to his
sister to the effect that The greatest
crime of the twentieth century has mis-
carried"
An Associated Press dispatch from
Warsaw, under date of December "a,
gave Michael de Thihatcheff, nephew
of General Skoropadski, as authority
for the statement that the former Rus
sian Emperor and his entire family
were still alive. Count Tatichev. rur-
merly the Emperor's personal military
attache, was named as the victim who
was shot instead of the Emperor.

Immediately after the strike was
called and capiases requiring their
appearance to answer the charges
were issued. 1t is alleged that all Of
the officers have conspired to keep
the strike in force and thu. 1eve vio-

Acting President John L. Lewis,
Secretary Treasurer William Green,
Percy Tetlow, statistician, and Ell

were notified of the action and
agreed to report in court to furnish

Dan w. Simms of Lafayette, Ind,
special United States District Attor-

In connection with the issuance of
strike benefits, he says the injunction
to any persons whether or not

any way encourages the strike and
said that banks which honor checks
drawn against a strike benefit fund

THE COAL MINE WAGE.

How Mr.. Garfield arrived at the
solution of the coal problem is thus
succinctly told by the New York
World:
"What Mr.. Garfield tried to do
was to figure out fair mining wage
by arithmetic. Using the data OF
the department of labor, the best we
have, he concluded that the cost Of
living has risen since 1914 by 1913
Der cent, while the miners wage has
risen 57.6 per cent. Adding AL
per cent of $1,576, or 22.2 cents to
that sum, the equivalent in buying
power of 81 in 1914. Hence the or
dered increase of IA per cent,
"But during actual combat the
selling price of coal was made high
enough to stimulate production in
the less profitable mines, the nation
getting a share of the big profits of
the better mines by taxation. Oper-
ators of the better mines can accord
ingly grant a IA per cent. advance
in wages, at the present selling price,
phile the less profitable mines may
now diminish production without
detriment to the public interest"
We think that the laboring men
outside the coal industry will agree
that the wage offered is a fair one.
Higher wages would mean dearer
coal and the excess would come out
of the pockets of other wage work
ers. In short the miners would get
more than their share through their !
control of necessity Of life and
other wage workers would get less
than their share.-Evansville Cou-
rier,

The one man in the United States
who might be of service to his coun-
try at this time is Samuel Gompers.
He still has the confidence of some
people and his utterances against
bolshevism and rule by violence are
in the main plausible and patriotic.
But his moral support is given to a
conspiracy of labor agitators who
have defed the Government and are
attempting to precipitate national
disorder by wrecking the commerce
of the country and by causing suffer
ing and privation to coerce the ma
ton into the acceptance of a spirit
of anarchy.
