VI AAOh' bcoiS &c n. L edTFe as a WOrk6
in the halls of Congress to advance
the interests of our people irrespec-
tive of party. No Congressman from
the Sixth district has ever attempted
to do what he has done and is now
engaged in and which without dou bt
he will push to completion ere the
present Congress comes to a close.
His efforts to secure the national en-
campment of the regular soldiers will
have the aid and influence of the Con
gressmen from Maryland, Ohio and
West Virginia to start with, and
While he has strong combination to
combat, we have every hope in his
faith and great ability to faithfully
carry out his project.
In the latter part of the first session
of Congress Senator McComas intro
duced a bill in the United States Sen
ate, which was passed, to establish a
fish hatchery in Garrett county. 1t
went to the House of Representatives
and was referred to the Committee
on Fish and Fisheries where Colonel
Pearre secured a favorable report for
the bill. 1t passed the second read
ing in the House and is now on the
calendar for the final vote when ECon-
gress convenes the first Monday in
December, where it will be passed
without doubt. 1t calls for an appro-
priation of twenty-fi five thousand.dol-
lars. The hatchery will undoubtedly
be erected in the central part of tn e
county, where the purest and finest
streams of cold water are to be found.
eXcelled by none in this great coun-
try of ours. The propagation of the
"speckled beauty" and placing them
in our denuded streams will do much
to invite the hosts of Isaac Waltons''
from the great cities to come and
spend the summers with our people.
Our fine climate, our pure water, our
moral people can all be expatiated on
but to tell the sportsmen that they
can find the finest of fish and game
needs no other inducement:that Gar
rett county is paradise next TO the
great beyond" where we can pub
lish to the people of our great nation
that the dishes are prepared within
our homes will suit the tastes of the
most fastidious We will also do
much to attract the people from the
city who seldom get anything good
to eat to come and spend their sum-
mers in our midst. We create con-
dition that the farmer increases his
revenues and provides a market for
the products of farm .and garden in
supplying an extra demand at his
own table. The spending of twenty
five thousand dollars in our midst is
only the beginning of what the gov
eminent will continue to do-giving
employment to numbers of our work
ingmen at good wages, demand for
materials which we can furnish our
selves, thereby saving the necessity
of shipping them away, and last but
not least, when a dozen good Repub-
licans can secure good positions at
good salaries with light work and
pleasant hours right at home; when
fifty dollars a month will be more
than a hundred dollars a month in
large city; where a new field will be
open to our young men that they can
become efficient in the art of fish Gull
ture, thereby bettering their condi-
ton because of the scarcity of men
who are competent to fill the
places of which there are more de
mands then there are people to sup
ply.
In conclusion, want to call the at
tention of our voters to Col. Pearre's
record in securing pensions for the
boys who wore the blue in the dark
days of our rebellion. He spares
neither time or patience in looking
up records and helping them in every
way possible to secure pensions that
they can supply themselves with the
necessities of life which they need for
their physical welfare; and remember
that the men who control the desti-
MES of our nation are the men who
have passed years III Congress MAX
ing themselves competent to pass wise
laws for the welfare of the greatest
number of our people that it takes
years of political life before you can
become useful to and help your con
stituency.
Then let us all unite, go to the polls
and cast our votes for the gallant Col.
George A. Pearre, whose ability in
the past gives greater promises in the
future to secure for the voters of
Garrett county many things that will
help them in years to come by giving
employment to their sons and helping
in every way to advance the general
welfare of all our people.
