mountains. feudists fought their bait
ties without serious interference from
n 9 law, and the wayfarer knew no
better highway than the rough timber,
trail. But times are changing and
education is exerting its uplifting in
duence f. Captain George M. Ford,
born a mountaineer and educated. in

that capacity has been giving much

Schools in the mountain counties"
said Captain Ford, may not haye
made the progress shownsin some Of
the other states. because. of our
many natural barriers, but they rank
high and the teaching staff Is good.
Most of the teachers have had nor
NAL school training, while 80 per cent
OF the white teachers anda7O per cent
OF the negro teachers this year at
lelueU some SunHer ScnOOl. Inc q
of teachers is still low, but the need
. pf education has made it apparent to
: all our people that more money must
be set aside for that purpose. The
state now gives adj to certain coun-
ties which lack sufficient funds for
the maintenance Of their schools at
the required level.
Bad Railroad Service.
wyoming county is one Of the
most remote sections Of the state. It
Is largely agricultural and poorly
served by railroads. School officials
have had much, difficulty in locating
schools and providing the necessary
teaching staff because the compulsory
\ education law does not require pupils
" to walk NOSE than two miles to school
and the funds available have made it
impossible to sprinkle the territory
with enough school buildings.
1.-THE poor roads in Wyoming ais
have had their influence on educa-
ton. But when one has mentioned
Wyoming. n has disposed of the
worst. Conditions are much better in
the four other counties. although Min
COS roads are still poor and there is
room for Improvement in Logan.
Each, however, has under way an
! ambitious road Improvement program.
= As for schools. both .Mingo and Logan
are well equipped.
Most of the school buildings in
these counties are of the one-room
type. but they r rapidly giving way
to the modern consolidated school.

and commodious structures" "
Best Developed County.
Mcdowell county is among theSbest
developed counties in the state. 1T
was a pioneer in the movement for
better highways and its free schools
have attracted wide attention. In the
county seat, WEIGH, school buildings
are of the most modern design, while
there is a hospital for miners which
Is classed by physicians as Of the
best hospitals in the state. The Nc
DoWell county post of the American
Legion recently completed a fine
home, the only Legion post in West
Virginia to W it's own quarters.
n movement for law and order
IN the county was shown when two
companies ofssthe new West Virginia
national guardeswere accepted for fed
eral service. During the recent labor
disturbances. 1929 men, many of
them leaders in the public and indus
trial life OF the county, volunteered
for service in Logan county.
The Goa deposits Of Mcdowell are
particularly valuable, and "a large
number of new coal mining companies
have recently commenced operation.
according to Houston G. Young,
secretary of state Indicates COM
plete development of the territory
within the next few years."
Two new railroads have also been
projected into Logan, one to connect
with the Norfolk and Western rail-
road in Mingo county, and the other
to connect with the Virginian rail-
road. A. branch. line of the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad now enters the
county from Huntington.
Another item which is attracting
general attention is the erection, in
the near future, of a hospital at Log
an. The project is headed by DR..
Henry d. Hatfield, former governor.
Walter S. H%allanan, state tax COM
missioner. has just completed a tabu-
Jation showing the assessed valuation
of all property in the state. One Of its
outstanding features is the increase
i~corded by every one of the counties
in the southwest.
Boone county leads the state with
an increase in property value of 49,
1S0,110, Notwithstanding that it is one
of the smallest. The total valuation of
Boone was fixed at $25,465;122.
These increases reflect the re-
markable strides in development and
growth industrially and in every, other
way, Of this southwestern part of
West Virginia. said Commissioners

Bishop Sues Association

Al. w. Bishop has filed suit in the
Multnmah county circuit court against
the Apple Growers Association for
$40, $50, alleging personal injuries sus-
tanned when he slipped on a board
walk at an Association warehouse in
July of this year. The cooperative
fruit sales agency is covered by a
policy on its employees with an accident
insurance concern. Ii is declared that
several attempts at settlement be-
tween Mr.. Bishop and the insurance
company have failed because of the
wide difference in opinion on the part
of the plaintiff in the lawsuit and the
insurance adjusters.
The plaintiff was recently indicted
by grand jury here on a charge of
attacking A. w. Stone, general mana
ger of the Association with a knife,
the row having been the termination
of discussion of the injury demands.
Mr.. Bishop was given a minimum SEN
tence of six months by Circuit Judge
Parker, here from Condor, sitting on
the local bench for Judge Wilson who
had been called TO Portland. On rec
ommendatiOn of the grand jury. Mr..
Bishop was paroled.

POMONA GRANGE is
OPPOSED TO TAX

Unless the funds for the Portland
1925 fair to be raised from a general
state tax be secured through a grad
uated income tax, instead of the pro
posed direct property tax, the Hood
River County Pomona Grange is un-
alterably opposed to the exposition.
according to a resolution adopted by
the body. The resolution was prepared
by a committee composed of j. ID. Nc
Gully, L. B. Gibson and w. II. Bucher.
Adoption was practically unanimous.
A musical program, IN charge OF
Mrs. William Munroe, was a feature
of the session, held in the K. of p. hall
Wednesday of last week. The Grange
expressed thanks to the Hood River
Creamery for butter and the Twen-
tieth Century Grocery for peas for the
dinner. Thanks were also expressed
to the Hood River Bakery for prepar-
ing meats, ard the Methodist church
for furnishing chairs.
The entire resolution on the fair tax
was as follows:
Whereas, our Governor has called a
special session of our state Legislature,
in order to consider the question Of
levying a direct tax in support Of the
fair to be held in Portland in 1925; and
Whereas, This said tax levy, as pro-
posed, is to cover period of three
years and is to be paid by increased
taxes placed upon every property
holder within our state; and
Whereas, This system Of taxing all
real and personal property, in the re-
hottest part our our state for the al
most exclusive benefit OF one small
part of our state is morally, If not
legally wrong; and
Whereas, Our taxes are now beyond
our ability to pay, out Of the revenue
derived from our farm products; and,
this being true, explains why our de-
linqGent tax list is now the greatest 1t
has ever been, and about double that
Of one year ago; and
Whereas, If this special session OF
the legislature so desires to offer the
states aid toward financing this fair
to be held in Portland in 1925, let
them do so in all fairness to those who
receive its greatest benefits and who
are most able to pay any additional
taxes imposed upon them,
Therefore, Be it resolved that
this, the Hood River County Pomona
Grange, urge all our Representatives in
our state legislature, TO so prepare a
bill to be referred to the voters Of this
state, that will raise all taxes neces-
sarv to finance this said fair by a
direct graduated income tax; and
Be it further resolved, that If said
tax is TO be raised by direct tax upon
all property Of this state that We 90
all within our power to defeat said tax
levy
