WHAT WILL THE POPULATION
OF DICKINSON BE?

What will be the population of
Dickinson County according to
the 1850 census?
1t has been assumed by a great
number of people that the popu-
lation of the county has under
gone a great increase since 1910,
when a few more than 1000 in
'habitants were found. Others re-
call that while good number of
people have come into the county,
many have also moved elsewhere,
especially during and after the
war years.
An entirely unofficial estimate
is that the population in Dicken-
son has increased within the last
ten years about ten per cent. This
estimate would give few more
than $4,000 inhabitants. Another
estimate, also unofficial, gives the
town of Clintwood less than 400
people,

"Corn War" Between
North Carolina And
Virginia Still On

A basis for competition in the
1850 "corn war" between North
Carolina and Virginia has been
agreed upon by officials of t h e
two states. The winning state will
be the one whose average yield
shows the larger percentage in
crease over the average for the ID
year period 1940-49. Last year,
when Virginia won, the contest
was based on the bushel- per-
acre increase over the average for
1937-46.
Virginia's 1940-49 average was
1913 bushels; North Cardinals was
25.6 bushels. If Virginia repeats
its 1949 record with another yield
of At bushels, the increase will
be about 80 per cent. If North
Carolina makes the same average
yield it did last years. bushels
per acre-the increase will be
about q percent. On this basis
Virginia would win again.
However, challengers from
North Carolina point out that Vir
ginia growers have adopted corn
hybrids more rapidly than have
Tar Heel farmers, and North Car
Dina can expect larger increases
in the future as more and more
hybrids are grown So Virginia
will have to work to keep her
crown.

The meeting Of the Southwest

BY E. R. B.
THE LOST SILVER MINE

v
The Four Naples were only sap
lings then, in October, 1862. Hick
Baker was making his way
through the Big Lick to see how
his hogs were doing on the mast.
With him was William Belcher,
who had left his place down on
Three Mile to get away from the
rowing bushwhackers and bum
mers. AS the two men picked
their way down steep bank,
Belcher's feet slid on the dry
leaves and he claWed for a hold.
Hick Baker sidestepped and watch
ed his companion come to halt
and get ON his feet. The late Oc-
tober sun slanting through the
roof of the forest lighted up the
place where Belcher's fall had
pushed aside the leaves and scuff
ed the earth. A CLINT, brighter
than the pale sunlight, came from
the ground. Hick called to his
companion, and together they
scratched the bank with sharp
sticks. They uncovered hard met
al that glowed like silver. While
Belcher guarded the place, Hick
Baker hurried to his home in the
Boner Cabin Pass and came back
with a mattock. They dug and
hacked at the hard layer and fin
ally broke OFT a chunk as large
as "a mans hand. Dusk was by
then settling over the mountain
side, and the two men, with light
feet and high hearts stepped over
the trail to Bakers home. They
planned to open the "silver mine"
which would bring them riches
beyond any mountain mans
dream ...aiA
But in the morning a pale man
from the foot of the mountain
hurried through the Boner Cabin
Gap with the news that Humpr-
rey Marshall's Rebels were sweep
ing toward the Kentucky border
to impress every able-bodied man
into the service of old jeff Davis.
Neither Baker nor Belcher want
ed anything to do with the John
MES. Hastily gathering a few be-
longings, t. Baker family fled
into the Yankee lines at Dorton.
The Federal commander, James
A. Garfield by name, arranged
for them to go on to the refugee
camp at Louisa. Deep inside his
pack, Hick Baker carried h e
chunk of shining metal. A year
later, when the Rebel tide had
receded, the mountaineer return
eG with his family to the rude
home in the Boner Cabin Gap,
eager to work the "silver mine"
#%*
He thought he knew where the
treasure was, but all that fall he
looked for it in vain. Anxiety and
exposure to the nipping winds
brought on slow and weary sick
ness that held him all the winter
through. Weak and detected, next
spring, he went at the job of hack
ing out a few crops. Sometimes
he wondered if the SILVER mine"
were but dream. With return
ing vigor in the spring of 1865,
he looked on the lump of bright
metal and searched the Big Lick
again. But he could never find
the bearings, now but dimly re-
called. AS the years rolled on,
the spell appeared again and
again, and he alwys obeyed the

 This system is essentially the arterial communications system of the territory, which has an area of 586,40O square miles and per manent population of approXim- ately 94,000 persons, an increase of 20 percent since l945," he said.

Eskimo Housing Aided By Loans

Anchorage Daily News, Jan. 18
 "Forty-two Eskimo families will be benefited for the cost of one modern $l4,0OO home in Anchor age" Father Paul O'Connor of Hooper Bay declared today.
 Father O'Connor, who recently made trip to Washington, DC, to obtain help in the form of gov ernment loan for his native char ges, has been in the city for the past week conferring with offic- ials of the FILA and the PHA.
 Most of the native homes in the area around the Boring Sea have been damp and conducive to the spread of disease, Father O'Con- nor said. With the aid of these federal funds floors will be built and corrugated roofs installed, making them more sanitary and modern.
 Individual loans do not exceed $500 in any case, and are payable over a term of five years. The na- lives are trapperS and fishermen and had a very successful mink season, and most of them will re- pay the loans in less than the time limit, Father O'Connor de- clared.
 Plans are being made to bene- fit 100 homes in 10 villages of the Boring sea area this spring he said.

Truman To Confer On Metal Mining

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman is going to hear about the plight of the metal mining indus try.
 Rep. Barring D-NevD told a re- porter yesterday he had been in vited to the White House neXS Wednesday and he believes the call will give him an opportunity to tell MT. Truman how badly the mines need federal help.
 A cill to advance money for exploration and development of new ore bodies has been tied up by the house rules committee since last session of congress.
 High costs and comparatively low prices have caused a serious economic crisis which is surely and rapidly strangling to death the small and marginal mines of Nevada and elsewhere" Barring said.
