gAVIS STOCK YARDS DURING
THE TWO WORLD WARS:
Part 2 of 3 parts.
It was an everyday job cleaning
the stock pens and keeping the ball-
park hospi tel in decent shape for the
sick animals. With at least 500
horses and mules using the stock
pens every day plus about 600 in the
ballpark hospital it was a gigantic
task trying to keep the facilities
clean. Dirty straw and manure had
to be loaded on C. & O. cars and
hauled away.
On Aug. 28, 1915 the Editor of
"The Alderson Advertiser," made the
following complaint in his newspa-
per: "The people in the west end of
town (Alderson) were given a real
treat this week through the unload-
ing of a car of rotten manure from
the C&O stockyards at Hinton. The
smell was almost unbearable and
the side-tracking of like shipments
in the vicinity will be vigorously
opposed.
The Editor of Hinton Daily News
and Leader made light of the com-
plaint but we agree with the people
of Alderson. Certainly it was not
their problem.
Many of the war horses in the
hospital were found to be unfit for
military service and Dr. Cough se-
cured authority to sell them. An
auction sale was held Oct. 30, 1916
when farmers from the surrounding
area gathered and purchased some

very fine houses very cheap. Horse
traders were also present and had a
field day.
During late 1915 it Was thought
the war was about to end and the
purchase of horses was reduced
considerable. Movement of horses
and mules through Hinton soon
reduced to a few each week. The
ballpark hospital closed and Dr.
Gough returned to Montreal, Can-
ads. But this was not to last very
long. It was said the life span of a
horse, once it entered the war zone,
was only 10 days, thus, a lot of ani-
mals were sacrificed and the antici-
pated end of the war did not mater-
alize.
Dr.Gough returned to Hinton May
25, 1916 to again look after horses
and mules rounded up in the west
and shipped over the C&O for the
British Army.Within a short time at
least one train load daily was being
unloaded at the stock pens for feed,
water and rest. It was necessary to
open the ballpark hospital where
several hundred were held under
the care of Dr. Gough.
By mid Sept., 1916, with veteri-
narian A.P. Gough's treatment, only
165 animals remained in the ball-
park hospital. A majority of those
treated by Dr. Cough were brought
around to a condition they could be
shipped and those considered incur-
able were killed.
It was reported the British gov.

there is enough interest i n this event,
we hope to rent two vans to take
veterans, (both male and female), to

C.C.C. REUNION

To the Editor:
It comes as no surprise that APCO
has suddently decided to conduct
meetings(with the media invited) to
air the supposed threat of blackouts
if the public opposes the proposal to
install a 765Kv transmission line
across southern W.Va. into Vs. The
proposal |br the line has already
been submitted to the W. Va. Public
Service Commission tbr approval
(May 1993) and was rejected due to
incorrect and inaccurate map data.
How come-if thousands of jobs are
promised and blackoutsarea threat-
APCO did not emphasize these most
important "facts before the public
and the media during the almost
three years that the proposal has
been in the making?
It appears that these most impor-
tant issues have come to APCO
almost as an afterthought or as a
desperate attempt to sway the pub-
lic to their way of thinking. Jobs and
blackouts- would these not have been
shouted from the rooftop by APCO
long before now? We have already
been deceived by maps that failed to
come up to snuff. What desperation
tactic will be next?

ernment had 28,000 horses and
mules in their big corral at Lathrop,
Mo., for shipment east. The majority
and possibly all would finally reach
Avis since navigation on the St.
Lawrence river would close about
Oct. 15th., stopping all horse traffic
through Montreal, Canada.
Heavy shipments of horses and
mules would continue like this right
up to the end of the conflict. The
largest train into Hinton was one of
65 car loads hauling approximately
20 animals to the car for a total of
1,300 horses and mules.
Mr. J. V. Powell, a horse trainer
and doctor, after returning fi'om
France where he had accompanied a
streamer load of 1,025 western
horses, told the following gruesome
story of the sufferings and deaths of
horses during the Atlantic voyage:
"As a lover of horses I hate to picture
the horrors of that trip. he declared.
"I was supposed to be doctor for all
the horses. There was work for a
dozen doctors. The horses were from
ranches all over the U.S. Some of
them were unbranded and unbro-
ken. The domesticated horses were
in terror of the wild horses. Many of
the domestic horses died of fright.
Supposeyou had toride tbr two weeks
between two savages.
"The horses were crowded into
narrow stalls. For the entire two
weeks sea voyage they had to stand
up. They could move but a ti w inches.
Their stalls were not cleaned during
the voyage. The men hired to feed
them were picked up along the New
York waterfi-ont. They di d not u n der-
stand horses. The men were paid
$15 tbr the round trip. They did as
little work as possible.
"When we reached the Gulf
Stream - the cemetery of horses -
conditions on board the ship were as
bad as those on a slave shipin the old
days. The horses, sick, wounded and
driven crazy by fear as the ship
pitched about, shrieked and kicked
and bit each other. Many of them
' died. A school of sharks was soon
fbllowing the boat. It did not go
hungry.
"These horses weren't low bn'ade
stock, by any means. They were fbr
cavalry and artillery duty in the
French army. They were handsome
animals, but the voyage rui ned many
of those it did not kill."
It seems such a shame so many
wluable animals had to be sacri-
riced but Kaiser Bill in WWI had to
be stopped like Schickelgruber in
WWII. Who was Sch nickel,n'uber did
you ask'? It was claimed by some in
Germany that Adolph Hitler's real
name was Schickelgruber. When his
.personal valet, Maj. Heinz Linge,
guestioned him about it, Hitler re-
plied in a rare rational tone: "It is
unimportant what a man's name is,
but I am glad, as the Fuehrer, that I
have the name of Hitler and not
some common Bawwian name like
Oberhuber or Unterhuber."
Continued next week.

New Problems With
Treating Tuberculosis
About a year ago officials at the
Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
reported a dramatic increase in the
number of newly reported cases of
tuberculosis (TB) in the United
States. About 8 million people world
wide are now infected with Myco-
baterium tuberculosis, the bacteria
that causes TB. Almost 3 million
people die each year from this dis-
ease. A major concern of public
health officials is the recent out-
break of infections that are resistant
to standard TB medicines. A 1991
New York City sm'vcy indicated
that one-third of all cases were resis-
tant tol(th currently available
TD mcdics hlmosl 20qacrccnt
were rcsnsKmt to isomazid and
rifampin, two of the most €ffcctivc
TB medicines. In addition, many
patients are becoming reinfcctcd
because drug treamcnts have not
lasted long enough. A third problem
has been an increase in the number
of cases of TB that complicate the
treatment of patients with AIDS
(acquired immune deficiency syn-
drome).
An approach to the continuing
problem of drug resistance is to use
five to six drugs in the patient until
lab tests show which drugs have the
most promise. Some physicians then
recommend a minimum of. flnee
drugs given over a period of two
years. The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration is encouraging
manufacturers to develop new drugs
for TB by offering to speed up te
approval of such medicines. !

NOTICE TO LANDOWNERS +
Columbia Gas Transmission Corp. plans to maintain por;

volved are available at Columbia Transmission's Elkins office.
