May Raise Land Assessment.

The State Tax Commissioner is
.aking keen interest in the selling
value of Jefferson county farms and
orchards. Within the past few DAYS
letters have come from him to the
president of the county court, asking
that a report of the selling price of the
last ten farms that have been sold in
he county be sent him. He wants
~ this means to learn, if possible,
how nearly accurate the land valua-
ions in the county have made by the
boari of equalization and review.
State officials have long been dis
satisfied with the land assessment, es-
pecially land set to orchards in this
county and Berkeley. 1t is more than
likely that serious effort will be
made by them this year to raise valu-
atoms of real estate in this section
of the State
Real estate values in towns and
cries may also receive some attention
from State officials Reports have
been reaching Charleston that rents
n many cases have been advanced
so that the returns from rented prop.
"rty have grown larger with the in
crease in rents, and this in turn has
raised the selling value Of rented
pronerty. All classes Of real estate
owners may be scheduled for higher
assessments in l920.-Advocate

TO Talk About Proposed Bonds.

In connection with the meeting OF
the Jefferson County Farm Bureau in
CHARLES Town Saturday afternoon, il
is hoped that there will be a full at
tendance of citizens of the county to
discuss the matter of the proposed
bond issue of S5O,OOO,OOO for good
roads in West Virginia. This county
has not yet given any expression con-
cerning this project, and it is desired
that the people shall give it proper
consideration and acquire full in
formation before they are called upon
to cast their votes at the election next
November. We think the plan should
be very carefully considered, for il is
no small matter to assume burden OF
fifty millions of dollars for one class
OF Improvements. The people will do
we'll to think about the road question
very seriously.

iy It is not IN as v;rulent a form as il

four deaths. Hagerstown reports 60
cases so far, with one death. Fred

So far as We know, there are no
cases of the flu in this community.
though there have been a number of
persons sick from bad colds.
Messrs. John Skinner and Charles

been working in Akron. Ohio, return

they would develop the influenza if

come home also, but his physician
would not allow it. saying that he
was too i'll to- travel. His brother.in-

but not enough to pay for sitting it out.
81 The gold in the sea has been derived
from the land, being brought down to
the coast by rivers. Likewise the gold
in the beach sand, which itself is the
debris OF inland rocks.
In some regions the mountains con-
tain much gold, which is fetched down
to the lowlands with the gravels borne
by streams. Such gravels may be very
rich in yhat is called ''alluvialy gold.y
They furnished the ''placers'' in Cali.
fornia, worked by pioneer miners, with
pan and rocker.
Nowadays the stream grayels of
California, and likewise those Of the
Yukon, are worked for gold by huge
dredges, which, with huge, scoop
buckets mounted on endless chains,
literally eat their way into the stream
banks, taking the gravel aboard, sep
arating the gold from it by washing
and camping the detritus overheard
The principal by product is pebbles,
which are carriedsaway from the dredgc
scow BY a conveyerf that deposits them
at a sufficient distance to be out of the
way In this manner small mountains
Of pebbles are built up--a waste output,
but worth money for roadmaking and
other purposes.
