The National Road.

We give considerable space this
week to an article on the National
Road, prepared especially for us by
Mr.. Jacob Brown, of Cumberland,
whose fund of valuable information
on this subject is well-nigh unlimited
and always at the command of any
one who is interested in this historic
but now neglected thoroughfare. In
addition to the article referred to we
have had cut engraved representing
the stone bridge over the Castleman
river, which is situated short dis
tance east of Grantsville, which is
also published on the first prge of
to-days REPUBLICAN.
For great many years the editor
OF this paper, as well as numerous
residents of the entire county, have
felt an intereet in the preservation of
this structure. Within the past week
or two we have been enabled to Sc
cure good engraving of the bridge.
The picture shows its present deplor-
able condition. A few more
years of neglect will suffice to
place it in such condition that it will
be impossible to restore it without
the expenditure of large sum of
money, while at present few humid
red dollars judiciously spent in point
ing it up with cement and in replac-
ing the guard walls will put it in
repair for a number of years to come.
DR.. William Bullock Clark, the
State Geologist, who has recently
submitted to the Governor his report
on the 'Highways of Maryland" is
greatly interested in the restoration
of the National Road and it's bridges
and in letter to THE REPUBLICAN
under date of December 22nd, says
with reference to the subject at hand:
BENZ. II. Sincell, Esq, Oakland, Md.
DEAR SIR:-1 am greatly interested

vision of the construction to be under

Notes on the Forest Conditions of
Porto Ric0
Porto Rico.


Porto Rico WAS originally mantled
by forests from the level of the sea
to the slpnmnit1s off it's mountains: 1t
is doubtful if there was a single foot
of it's area which was not ait some
time covered 10y tree growth, varying
in height from the diminlItive man
grove bushes, which border THE sea-
shore, to the gigantic deciduous trees
mingled with the frondS and trunks
OF towering palms, (which add height
ITO the loftiest peaks and ridges. The
island, although wooded in the sense
that it is still dotted by many beauti-
full trees, lis now largely deforested
from "a commercial point of view.
I'm january 1899, M. Robert T. Hill,
geologist, u. S. Geological Survey,
made a "trip through the MILITARY de
partment off Porto Rico, during winch
he became familiar with it's forests,
and by inquiry among various per-
SONS engaged in woodworking trades
obtained much information ais ito the
qualities and uses of the native tim
beers
e& The results of Mr. HELPS oIbserva-
ations are embraced in Bulletin No. 95
of the Division Of forestry of THE U.
IS. Department. off Agriculture, entitled

The report contains, not only a state
ment of the forest resources of Porto
Rico and the EXTENT of it's timber
lands, but also a description off the
mountains, valleys, geology, SOILS and
fora of the island.
THE characteristics off fifteen Porto
Rican woods are given in detail.

When the news spread, as it quickly

plan was in consequence tacitly agreed
