EH terms, $1.00 a year in ADVANCE Issued every Friday morning by H. B. WOOD. EDITOR ANO PUBLISH BR Entered at the Monterey po9tofflce as second-class matter Friday, May 29,1908 Admiral Evans says we need more war ships and fewer statesman, but we have more war ships than statesman now. All this talk about idle money is nmsense.

A dollar runs away faster to-day than ever before, and is harder to catch, of course. When May is good and sweet, she is so good and sweet we can't help forgetting and forgiving lier past sins. Clarksburg is to be the headquar? ters of the operations of the Stand? ard Oil Company in West Virginia. A large office building is to be erect? ed. H.

H. Rogers, of New York presided at the meeting held in Clarksburg when the decision was reached. 11 t. 0 1 1: The Alexander Eastern Rail? way Company has been chartered to build a line from Alexander, W. to Elkins, W.

25 or 30 miles. The incorporators are John B. Hart and Charles M. Hart, of Clarksburg. The authorized capi? tal stock is $100,000.

E. J. Hoover, who operates lum? ber mills on the Coal Iron and the Chesapeake Ohio Railways, has purchased the Chadister and Snyder timber tracts in Canaan valley, near Davis, cover? ing 480 acres and estimated to cut 3,000,000 feet" It will take about three years to clear the tract. That newspapers have been plac? ed on the verge of bankruptcy by the arbitrary advance in the price of paper by the paper trust, was shown last week. Several publish? ers testified to advances in the price of print paper, in some, in? stances amounting to 60 cents a hundred pounds.

CL. Knight, of Akron, editor of the News Journal, after reciting his experi? ence in trying to provide print pa? per for his own publication, declar? ed one publisher had watched all his profits disappear into the coffers of the paper trust, and had been forced to borrow money, and had been placed om-the brink of bank? ruptcy by the oxorbitant demands of the paper manufacturers. After all there is a good deal in talk. Let a man talk dull times and it is infectious, everybody talks dull times. Instead of rustling around to take care of what busi? ness there all go and sit down and mope over dull times.

If a customers does happen to drop in? to one of these ''dull times" stores he actually gets frightened out of one-half that he expects to buy, be? cause things look so blue. He catches the spirit of the store and resolves to hang on to all his money with a death grip, even his busi? ness goes to pieces on account of running short of goods to fill up the empty shelves. The bug-bear of hard times should be sat upon. It is doing more to kill business than anything else. Tell a man he is sick, keep it up, and you will eventually hound him to death.

Do your own advertising. Make it a study. Study the wants of your trade. When you get some? thing they want let them know it. Do what you say you will, and a fortune is yours.

Advertising is a study, and if a man waits until he has purchased a stock of goods and gets placed on the shelves, and then thinks about talking to the people, a school boy could pre? dict his cavernous failure. You can not succeed on your reputation as a good writer. You can not suc? ceed on your reputation as a good bookkeeper. You must have other essentials, and the chief of these is to be able to get near the buyer and to inspire that confidence which will induae long-continued mutual good feeling, and to this end the newspaper is yours.

WiUoll vUtul'iUul itoi.i onneliville, Pennsylvania, Satnr ay, after a chase of three huridred tiles in quest of two men and two james, which had been stolen from itu. The following account of the lase and capture is taken from ie Connels ville Courier: "The chase of West Virginia au lorities after fugitive horse thieves ver more than 300 miles of moun nnous country came to an end ere last night when yhe men laced under arrest and some of. the orses recovered. The quest for he thieves has been continued for ight days, lt started at Marini? on, Pocahontas county, W. H.

K. Wilson, the owner of he horses, four in number, began he trail. William Neff and Henry lampson are the men arrested up the charge. "Wilson is a lumberman in Poca tontas county and about two weeks igo, he declared, he sent the two nen with the teams valued at te ween $1,100 and $1,200, to aid in lome logging work in which he was nterested. Tdie camp was about miles away from his hojne, and ibout four or five days later he went to the edrnp, then finding that the men had departed with the learns.

"Started on their tracks, Wilson discovered at various points that the two men had indulged in some lorse trades, but had continued on with his best team value $700. He caught trace of them at Harrison? burg, Franklin, Petersburg, W.Va., Cumberland, Frostburg, Grantville, Somerville and then Confluence. Here he lost track of them but de to go on to Ohiopyle and located the men. "He reached here at 5 o'clock this afternoon and was in town a ti alf hour before the men were lo? cated. He went before justiee of peace Redcliffe Weir and entered information against them, Consta? ble Ed.

Jackson served the warrant md locked the two men in the lockup until the papers from West Virginia could be secured. "The two men, it is stated, de? clared that they would not volun? tarily return to West Virginia and Sheriff Joe McNeil of Pocahontas county, West Virginia, was tom aiunicated with and requested to come to Oliopyle. with requistion papers to have the men returned to Marlinton the county seat, for trial. "The team worth $700 was still the possession of the men. The it her team had been traded md the horses thus secured sold." On Monday Mr Wilson started to Pennsylvania to bring back his riorses and requistion papers for the thieves who will be tried here.

Mr Wilson is a hard working lum? ber operator who has accumulated considerable property by his indus? try. The loss of time and the ex? penses incidental to this trip is a lardship upon him, following so close upon the financial panic which iias played havoc with the profits if so many rimes. In all the world there are about 30,000 newspapers, distributed as follows: United States and Canada, Germany; Great Bri? tain, 9'500; France Japan, 1,000, Italy, Austria-Hung? ary, 2,958, Asia, exclusive of Ja? pan, Spain, Russia, Australia, Greece, 130; Switzerland, Holland, 980; Belgium, 956; all others, 1,000. Of these more than one half are printed in the English language. The department of agriculture is making an analysis of the "beer" that is being sold in the dry sec? tions of the State, says the News Leader.

Dr. E. W. Magruder, the chief chemist, has the matter in charge, and he received samples of the bev? erage from the towns of Winches? ter, Clifton Forge and Charlottes? ville, all being of the same brand. The attorneys of the State made the purchases from the stocks of the goods offered for sale.

It is held that beer containing less than 2 per cent, of olcohol can bcsold in dry towns, and the offi? cers are curious to know if the stuff which is being sold at this time comes within the law. It is not known when Jthe analy? sis will be completed, but the ex? amination is being made and will be forwarded to the officers just as soon as it is completed. If it is found that the beer contains more than the proportion inhibited by the Byrd-Mann bill the prosecutions will begin at once.

"Library thieves fall into four'class? es," said the librarian. "The first and most numerous is the umbrella class, gender, I regret to admit, feminine. "This lady lounges about your libra? ry with an unrolled umbrella in her hand. If she sees a book she wants, a magazine or a newspaper, pop it goes Into the umbrella's capacious folds. Her type ls well known.

Never carry an unrolled umbrella into a library if you would escape the surveillance of the watchers aud attendants. "Another week? lies. This daring thief rolls a weekly Into a cylinder, slips his hand through lt and works lt up his sleeve. Fancy funning such risks for a five or ten eent weekly! "A rare genus, feminine again, ls the partitive or installment thief, who steals a book a few pages at a time. Though this genus ls known to libra? ries, I have met with but two speci? mens in ten years.

One stole a Hall Caine and the other an H. A. Vachel! volume In installments. Both were more or less daft. "The most numerous class of all is the open, daring one.

These people bluff. They walk out with a stolen book or paper under their arms as if it were their own. And, hang it, they escape, too. if they are careful that our label doesn't show. "Our percentage of thefts? Well, we count to have about two books In every hundred Enquirer.
