ROAD BEING BUILT FROM
ALMIRA TO OSBORNE GAP

Seven miles of road between
Almira and the Dickinson Coun
ty line on White Oak is being re
built by a convict road force.
This road along the side of
Cumberland Mountain has never
been modernized and has remain
ed in about the same condition
as it was in its beginning. A star
mail route from Clintwood to
Almira traverses this highway.
The people who live along this
road from White Oak to Clint
wood hope that their end of it
may be put in more passable con
dition.

Will Pickett, former citizen of
this county, came home again
Wednesday morning, but not like
Calvin Addington, of his own &C
cord. 1t seems probable that Puck
EFT will remain for an indefinite
period. :
He was arrested Tuesday in
the deepest recesses of Mcdowell
County, w. Va, on a charge of
skipping a court bond more than
q years ago. He will, in all prob
ability, remain in jail Until the
next term of circuit court begins
in March. Then he will face a
charge of violating the prohibit
ton law more than rs years ago.
Will Pickett was indicted in
August, 1924. With Thomas Stone
of Skeetrock as bondsman, he
was released while waiting trial.
Evidently, he managed to get the

MANY DELEGATIONS
APPEAR BEFORE
SUPERVISORS

SCHOOLS, rOaQS, claims, JalLS,
horse and mule ordinances, all
came before the Board of Super
visors in a spirited session Mon
day
A delegation from Haysi, led
by Mayor Fred Raines, appeared
before the board with the request
that the board recommend the
placement of a convict road
camp at or near Haysi. The pur-
pose of this movement was to
have the work of rebuilding
Route 80 toward Honaker and the
beginning Of work on the road
through the Breaks begun. Some
citizens from the Ervinton Dis
trict opposed the motion, insist
ing that the work on the high
way up Mcclure was of more I'm
portance. Finally, the board made
the recommendation proposed by
the Haysi group, voting three to
two.
Judge A. A. Skeen came before
the meeting to urge that no jail
be built. Later in the day, dele
cations from Mcclure, Nora and
Clintwood contrasted the need
for schools as opposed to the need
for jails, saying that if we had
proper schools no jails would be
needed. It was at last decided to
request an opinion from the attor
ney general as to whether this
county must build a Jail.
The local highway engineer
asked the board to hold hearings
on the budget for secondary
roads at the next meeting. The
request was granted. The engin-
eer also announced that approx
mately $4,000 in surplus funds
would be available for construc-
ton work between Sand Lick and
Dog Branch and asked the board
to concur in this plan. After
much argument, the recommends
ton was left without action.
There being no protesting voic
es, it was ordered that horses
and mules cease and desist from
roaming at large in the Rose
Precinct. Petitions for the. same
ordinance were presented by the
citizens of Yatestown, Kerr Pre-
cinct and Duty Precinct.
The usual claims were present
ed and approved. Of the total for
claims, $3.50 was in payment for
stock killed by dogs.
Charles H. Arlington presented
ed his resignation as delinquen.
tax collector. c. S. Colley was ap
pointed in his place.
Calvin Cub" Vanover was
given the job of preparing the
county budget for the next year,
to be ready at the next meeting
Mckinley Yates was appointed
courthouse janitor for another
year. Darrell Barrett was given
the contract for supplying the
court house and Jail with coal
with the stipulation that he furn
ish coal that would give satisfac-
ton.
The board made an appropria-
ton of 5000 to the March of
Dimes. However, when advised
by the Commonwealth Attorney
that authority for such appropria
ton was doubtful, the action was

THE OLD FiEEWARDEN
SPEAKS >,

Dear Citizens of Dickinson
County:
Now, in this month of Febru-
airy, is the time to do all farm
burning. Do not put it off until
the first of March. 1t will be too
dry and dangerous after that
time. Let us all work together
and try to protect what forest
land we have left. If you have
land that is not fit for farming or
grazing, put it in trees so that
it will be paying taxes for itself.

Forest Warden

While this book has been re-

is little known to the natives.

makes the cook an outstanding

The recipes came from many

Many of them are signed. There
are amusing special notes to

 DE5CRIBE GROWTH
 OF MINES BUREAU

Wartime search for strategic minerals was given much credit for expansion of US. Bureau of Mines facilities in Alaska.
 Sinclair H. Lorain, recently ap- pointed regional director of the bureau for Alaska, told members of the National Federation of Federal Employees at their noon meeting today that expansion took place as needs for strategic minerals grew.
 As an example, he cited the in- vestigation of coal deposits on the Rail Belt as military population increased needs.
 Lorain, who had been chief of the Albany, Ore, branch of the bureaus mining division prior to his ap- pointment to the Juneau post, said the wartime search for strategic minerals was based on investiga- tions by the US. Geological Sur vey. The actual digging, he said, was done by bureau of mines men.
 Reorganization of bureau of mines activity in Alaska came about this year. Reports which formerly were sent to Washington, DC. are now Icing handled in Alaska, he said.
 The function of the, Bureau ot Mines in Alaska consist of field work concerned with metal and in- dustrial mineral investigation and production; metallurgical laboratory work which will be done in the laboratory on Juneau Island when it is completed; coal development; health and safety work in mines; and preparation of statistical in- formation and economic studies in the field of. mining.
 Nominations for the coming NFFE election will be completed at next months meeting.
