RECEIVER NAMED FOR
QUEEN ANNE : R.R. CO.
Bill Filed Saturday BY Ferry
And Equipment Company
An Equitable Suit.

Mr.. Frank Ehlen was appointed re-
ceiver for the Queen Anne's Railroad
Company bv Judge Morris last Saturday
afternoon. This action was taken on a
petition filed by the Queen Anne's Fer
ry and Equipment Company. Mr.. VIM.
II. Bosley, president of the company.
consented to the appointment of the re-
ceiver
The Railroad Company" said Mr..
Bosley, ''can pay dollar for dollar. 1t
has floating debt. but owes nothing
whatever to financial inst itutions, either
in Baltimore or elsewhere.
1.-The Queen Anne's Railroad, the
Queen Anne's Ferry and Equipment
Company and tn e Queen Anne's Steam
boat Company are separate corporations,
although the business is practically COM
bined We found it difficult to transact
business on an economical basis when
the interested parties were so divided,
and the object of the receivership is to
unite the property into one corporation
"Plans have been on foot for some
time to bring this about. and 1t would
probably have been accomplished with
out resorting to the courts if it had not
been for the recent fire.
The business of the allied corporations
connects Lewes. Del. with Baltimore
by means of the railroad and steamboat
companies which meet at Love Point,
IN the Chesapeake Bay. The run from
Baltimore to Love Point is made by the
vessels in hour and 81 minutes. The
railroad is go miles long. 1t runs through
Queen Anne's. Talbot, and Caroline
counties. in Maryland. and Kent. and
Sussex counties. in Delaware. The road
was put in operation on March !. 1898.

For Good Roads.

4 bill has been introduced in Congress
by the Hon. Walter p Brownlow, a
member of Congress from Tennessee.
appropriating $24. O0O, 900 as national aid,
for the building of country roads 1t will
be taken up by that body within three
weeks
The bill provides for the creation of "A
department at Washington with proper
superintendent and employees to take
care of the building of these roads.
The S2i 200. 900 TO be appropriated is
available at the rate of IS. O00, 900 a year
II three years, is TO be divided among
the different States according to their
population. except that no State is to re.
ceive less than $3.50. 900 of this money.
BY this distribution Maryland would
receive S344 900.
The bill also provides that like "a
mount must be added by the State or
counties receiving aid so that S4S, 0O0, 900
are to be spent on roads in the United
States. Some States have adopted the
principle of State aid to build roads
why should not the Federal Govern
ment give National aid for the purpose:
There was an appropriation last year
of over $32 .0OO. 900 for river and harbor
Improvements which did benefit the
farmer little by giving him better
freight rates.
The United States Government has
spent many millions in building Post
Offices and Federal Buildings in nearly
every large city in the Union. Why
cant few of the millions be used to
benefit the farmers and country towns !:
Where good roads have been built farm
values have improved because it is
easier to get produce to market and life
is much pleasanter and happier for the
owner of the land Ii is not the farmers
fault that he has not good roads free
from ruts and mud to haul his produce
on. Ii is simply because he cannot
afford to pay for it unaided.

A MARYLAND KITCHEN
FOR ST. LOUIS FAIR
Secretary of State TiIghman
Makes Suggestion. Crabs
and Oysters.

Now that il is certain that the ST.
Louis Fair Commission of Maryland
will not receive the large appropriation
of $50. 1000 from the legislature for its ex-
hibit and a building the question is be-
ing asked. Will the commission obtain
any increased appropriation over that
of 1902 and. if so. how will the money
be expended: Ii can be safely said that
$4,000 will be appropriated for the
Maryland exhibit at the Exposition.
which. with the $4,000 provided at
the last session. will aggregate $40. 900.
On account of the great decrease in the
sum needed the erection of Maryland
building at the fair is out Of the ques-
ton. and naturally. there are a few
interested ones who are looking around
for substitute.
A most excellent suggestion is the one
which has been made by Secretary of
State Tilghman. His idea is to have "A
MARY land Kitchen" from which all of
the delicacies peculiar to the state can
be furnished at IA small cost to the visit
ors at the fair. Colonel Tilghman sug-
gests that small portion of one of the
large and attractive buildings be Sc
cured. and equipped with cooking uten-
sis and competent cooks and walters.
whose duty il will be to serve fresh
crabs and oysters in every style, terrapin
Maryland biscuit and corn bread, CLANS
ate, TO purchasers.
The stock of delicacies, says Colonel
Tilghman, can be shipped every day OF
two direct to the fair. and in this way
the supply can be kept fresh and plenti.
full. In fact. the Colonel has even gone
so far as TO inquire into the matter of
shipping supplies. and he has ascertain
ed that refrigerator car can be loaded
at Chincoteague Bay, on the Eastern
Shore. with fresh crabs, oysters. CLAIMS
and terrapins at least three times a
week at small cost aud shipped direct
to st. Louis for use in the kitchen.
The idea is believed to be good one,
and there is some prospect of the pro-
ject going through. In the event OF
such course being taken by the com.
mission the affair would not be a bur.
den nor loss. but instead would nc
doubt prove to be a scheme by which all
of the supplies could be paid for out OF
the receipts from the sale of the delica
cies.
The appropriation bill. with its amend.
ments providing for the expanding OF
$4,000. is sleeping in the Finance Com
mitt of the Senate. Recently it was
about to be passed in that body, but on
account of the fire in Baltimore city il
was recommitted to the Finance Com.
mittee. and there il remains
II is probable that whatever sum is
appropriated it will be devoted almost
entirely to the agricultural, horticultur.
al and mineral display of the State.
Most of the original S25. 900 has been ex.
pended in these channels, but more
money is needed to complete the exhibit
and to make it attractive and worth see.

GRAND CANYON
Grand Canyon, April 2S.

One of the most important changes made recently at Bright Angel is the removal of the little red station with its lengthy plat form up to point near the new hotel. The Grandview stage office has been moved also and placed beside the station in the new loca- ton. A new walk has been made up the new trail from the platform to the rim. The walk is pleasanter than the old one, for it is only few steps, and you are soon at the edge of the Canyon. What a comfort a moving sidewalk would be, espe- cially to help the more portly tray eler, who usually feels his breath getting short. Then, Agent Miller could make use of such a walk and feel grateful, as he is obliged to make numerous trips daily be- tween the city office and this sub urban freight station.
 Mir. and Mrs. P. D. Berry of Grandview were visitors at Cam eron's camp this week Mir Berry is slowly recovering from his re- cent illness.

Some people think this log train is slow, but one ride seems to be sufficient for most of our passengers.
