The Story Of

XXXV.-W. VIRGINIA

kTfTsE III Virginia was
tnl@aEhsasT originally
tsSls@IIS/ portion OF
NSs,-~STI Virginia, the
~ ssMYS Old DominioPi
colony. While its history is nat
urally yoked up with that of the
Mother State, there are many
points in which the two sections
OF Virginia were divergent and
1t was for this reason that West
Virginia finally became a sepa-
rate state.
The first white man who prob
ably penetrated the wilderness
OF fhis Western region was John
Laterer, German surgeon, who

state. There was little colonial
ton intil 1882. when Scotch and
Irish adventurers began to fill
Westvrn Virginia. They were
encouraged but little, and, in
fact, lhe King in 1888 declared
that this part of the colony was
Indian country and could not
rightfuliy be settled. Colonial
ton continded, however, and bit
ter warfare was waged against
the ID1ians and the French who
had come down from the North.
IL. l774 the battle of PIT Pleasant
vas fought, which was one of
the bloodiest of Indian conflicts.
The backwoodsmen who set
tied in the Western part of Vir-
ginia were entirely different
types of men from the wealthy
slave owners along the coast.
Jealousies between the two Sec
tions arose and the Western
countries felt great dissatisfac-
tion at the way Virginia was
governing them. The most
marked point Of disagreement
was over the slavery question,
and it was because of this that.
when Virginia seeded from the
Union in 1861, West Virginia
took matters in its own hands.
Delegates met at Wheeling, drew
up a separate constitution, and
declared their independence.
Their application for admission
into the Union was accepted by
Lincoln, and in 1868 West Vir-
ginia became the thirty-ffth
state.
1t is often called the "Pan-
handle State" on account of its
shape. Its area is 24,170 square
miles, and it has eight presiden-
tial electors.

Ohio must be made safe for it's
youth, and unnecessary hazards
must be eliminated. This is the
decision of Governor Vic Donahey,
who has had several experiences
during recent weeks to help him In
reaching a decision to the erect
that a good many accidents to am
bilious youth may be avoided.
First the governor would have some
precautions taken around public
swimming pools that the young
bathers would not endanger their
lives every time they want to take
a little dip. Speed and careless
ness in automobile driving is also
a hazard that must be checked the
governor says, and in his next
message to the general assembly he
will make some recommendation
which may result in laws which will
save many lives. The governor,
himself father of a large family,
during a recent automobile drive
came in close contact with careless
auto drivers and wasn't long in
reaching a decision to ask laws
which will curb some of these many
dangers.

Coal For Light Plants

A train with 1922 coal cars
count 'em-would be required to
transport coal needed by Ohio's
electric light and power plants in
one year.
That's the amount of coal used
by the plants in this state last
year. 1t was trife smaller than
the coal tonnage of the year be-
fore, despite the fact that more
electricity was produced. The rea-
son for this was the constant efforts
and research which the electrical in
dustry put forth to increase eff
cheney.

Many Telephone Calls For Capital

There are ninety-thre thousand
telephone messages going in and

month.
That is a total of more than L.

midnight and sunrise" The change
will be made possible by the enact
ment of a law of the past legisla-
ture, permitting the warden of the
penitentiary to hold electrocutions
at any time during the day or night.
While Warden Thomas has made no
positive decision in the matter it is
expected that under the new law,
executions will occur shortly after
5 o'clock in the afternoon or after
all other prisoners have had their
supper and are locked up for the
night in their cells.

There have been more positive
cases of rabies in Ohio during the
first. five and a half months of the
present year than during all
of 1924, according to the state
health department which has issued
warning to dog owners to be on
the lookout for signs of the disease
in their pets. The recent hot
weather has done much to increase
while there have been but few fatal
cases, doctors who administer serum
report the greatest demand in their
professional history. Dr. Joseph
Price, who administers the treat
ment in Columbus, reports almost a
score Of cases during the past three
months, but all of the victims recov-
cred after treatment The state
health department has issued
special bulletin on the subject
which will be mailed free to all in
terested.
While the extreme hot and dry
weather of the past few weeks has
not proven conducive to prospects
of large crops for the Ohio farmer,
it is proven valuable to the state
highway department where unusual
progress has been made in the con-
struction of new roads. With a
surplus of labor in almost every
county and weather conditions ideal
for road construction, the contrac-
tors are working a full force of
men, more than 10000 being en-
ployed at this work in the various
counties of the state at the present
time, according to data of one large
contractor. Several large contracts
will be completed much before the
original date set, if the good con
struction weather continues much
longer. But while the advantage of
good weather is proving a boon to
road contractors it is playing havoc
with the prospects of the Ohio farm
er for bumper crops this year.

BUS LINE D
NEW MANAGEMENT

The fore part of last week Gus
Fleischli and Marsh E. Armstrong
purchased the 26 passenger White
bus from Bob Duncan who has been
running the Rawlins-Parco bus line
for the wyoming Motorway company
and in the future the line will be
under the management OF Fleischli
and Armstrong.
For the present the large bus will
be the only car that will run on reg
ular schedule between the W places,
however, in the near future the new
managers plan to put on an addition
al Big Six Studebaker bus. This new
car is the latest thing in passenger
buses for 1t is built with all the
latest improvements and at the same
time is constructed so that it will
stand the wear and teal of hard
travelling.
Increased business on the Rawlins-
Casper bus line made it more or less
necessary for the Wyoming Motorway
company to concentrate their efforts
on that line. 1t is believed that with
the advent Of Spring several cars
will be run between these two
cities. The Packard bus which has
been used between Rawlins and
Parco will he used on the Rawlins-
Casper line.

that they intend to cater to the pub
