An Unwarranted Disclaimer.
The Midland Press, with unwonte

The Midland Press, with unwonted
acumen for one so young, concludes
that the alleged communication in the
little Frostburg Forum last week, headed
"A Question to Answer dated from Mid
land, is fake. No real Mldlander would
make a foolish assertion such as Gilmore is
700 feet lower than Dams Rock, and Mid
lander knows that Gilmore is only few feet
below Midland. And genuine Midland peo-
pie are too smart to befog dead open-and-
shut case by fool talking over nothing.
The Press expects too much.
a difference of 300 feet in altitude
is Il small matter in an Office that
doesn't even regard proper spelling as
q matter of real Importance.
In spelling 'arc," for instance, it
throws in an 49, sells "arch" for
are" and charges 81 year for it at
that.
That is why nobody up here takes
any serious notice of the thing.
1t Is luminous illustration of the
phenomenon of the fakir who is faxed
bV his own fake,

Saturday mornings Tacoma Ledger glad
dened its local readers and surprised 9TH
ers by announcing in glazing headlines on
the first page that the entire shipping fn-
cilities OF Seattle had been washed away
BY q storm. Not only this. but that the
government had lost heavily in the dis-
aster. The dock where this occurred IL
alleged to be "the largest In the city"
Seattle people will scarcely recognize in
this distorted account the incident Of the
caving in Of about forty feet square Of
the Arlington dock, which occurred Thurs
day night. That portion of the wharf had
been overloaded and gave way, precipitat-
ing some 5000 worth Of hay and grain con-
signed to Honolulu in the bay. The Airing
ton dock il very, very far from being the
largest wharf In the city. II IL owned and
run by company which is responsible for
any damages occasioned by its collapse.
and neither the government nor any other
owner of freight will suffer the loss of a
dollar by reason Of the accident. OF course,

essily ascertained them, but that Is not the

airy is conducted. Facts about Seattle is
