Tuesday one of the leading attor-
neys of Oakland requested this office
to name price for printing a Court
of Appeals brief of 12 pages. Such
work having been executed in this
office at various times a reference to
our books revealed that 81. % per page
had been charged and we therefore
named that as our price for doing the
work. Twelve pages at 1925 per page
would amount to $1,000. We were
then informed that the Journal, IA
nous for low prices when bidding for
county printing and publishing is
concerned, had made the eXorbitant
charge of $52.65 to an individual of
meagre means for executing the brief
of twelve pages submitted to us upon
which to base our bid for the work.
This the Journal may, and no doubt
will claim, is none of our business
and really it is not, but when a mat
ter of this character is brought to our
attention and remembering the many
attacks made upon us by the Journal
we feel disposed to show the Journal
proprietor up in his true character
that of taking advantage of an individ-
ual when he has the opportunity and
at the same time posing as the cham
pion of the tax payers collectively.
We understand that the party in
terested in the matter will carry it up
to court before he will consent to pay
the exorbitant price charged by the

being Arriving there the outer man
was made comfortable before a hot
fire and shortly afterward the crav-
ings of the inner man were satisfied
by most elaborate and magnificent
ly cooked supper of turkey, ham,
vegetables, ETC., to which all did am
pie justice.
Mr.. Delawder, although rs years of
age, is still hale and hearty and SEEM
ingly no older than he was twenty

which he keeps all at the highest
pitch of laughter and mirth.

Saturday last big crowd of Italian
laborers in the employ of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad company
was put to work ON the lake at Noun
tain Lake Park cutting and loading
2400 tons of ice for shipment to vari-
GUS points along the line. To accom-
modate the large number of cars re-
quired for the ice an addition was
built to the side track along the shore
of the lake. To ship the ice 100 cars
of 10000 pounds capacity each will be
required. The ice is about 10 inches
thick, free of snow and clear as crys-
tai. Fearing that thaw would set
in the rail road officials had their men
work all day Sunday. The work will
be completed some time this week.

Telephone Line Extension.

The original intention of the Gar
rett County Telephone Company to
build their extension from Deer Park
via the Club House to Swanton has
been abandoned and a new route for
the line adopted. The intention now
is to erect the line via the Armstead
farm to Swanton, as by the new route
a greater number of subscribers can
be secured and it will therefore rem
der service to a larger number of per-
sons and make the investment more
secure.
The new issue of stock amounting
to $500 has all been sold and will be
issued to subscribers by February Is.

Saturday last man named Hay,
who resides either at Salisbury or

the hospitable home of Thomas John
son, on the National Road several
miles east of Grantsville, nearly fam
ished from the extreme cold and ex-

A Car Load Arrived Here Friday and VIII
Be Into Operation Shortly.
Messrs. Louis and Daniel j. Swart-
zentruber, who reside near Gortner,
where they have purchased farms,
will engage extensively in the manu-
facture of drain tile, fire and building
brick. etc, during the seasons of the
year when their agricultural interests
do not require their attention. On
Saturday they received a car load of
machinery, inclu ding an engine, boil
er, grinding machine, kiln tools and
moulds, which was transported in
sleds to their farm where the machin-
cry will be set up and put in working
order as soon as the weather will
permit.
The manufacture of drain tile will
be made a speciality, market right
at home having already been estab-
lished for it as nearly every farmer
has more or less glade land which can
be brought into productiveness by
the laying of drains thus clearing the
land of water and making it ready
for the pillow.

For a State Pardon Board,

Delegate W. H. Forsythe, Jr., of
Howard county, has introduced a bill
in the Legislature creating Board
of Pardons. Mr.. ForsYthe said in ex
PLANTATION of his bill:
at provides that the Governor
shall biennally appoint three persons,
who, with the Attorney General of
the State and the president Of the
Maryland Prisoners Aid Association,
shall constitute the advisory board of
pardons.
my object is to relieve the Govern
or to some extent from the constant
pressure to which this part of his
duty subjects him. 1t is following an
idea already adopted by many of our
progressive States. In some of
those States the pardon board has
absolute pardoning power, but under
our Constitution this power is vested
in the Governor, and the board must
be confined to investigating all petit
tions for pardons and can only make
a report in the nature of recommen-
dation, thereby relieving the Govern
or from much tedious labor"

Damage to School b Building Heating Plant.
The cold weather of Sunday and
Sunday night caused considerable
damage to the steam heating plant
at the Oakland public school building
by freezing and bursting the water
pipes. The break was not discovered
for some time after the fire under the
boiler had been started. As result
the action of the heat, in connection
with the clog in the pipes preventing
circulation of the steam, drove the
water from the boiler, leaving it al
most entirely dry. Two sections of
the boiler were entirely burned out
and as repairs cannot be had for some
days the building, or portions at least,
will be insufficiently heated for that
length of time. Repairs of temper
airy nature were made on Monday.
The damage will amount to about
1925.
