Good Roads In View.

At the regular monthly meeting of
the Board of Road Directors, held i'll the
County Commissioners office, Monday,
Sth inst, the Board decided to apply for
the full amount due from the State Aid
Appropriation for the Construction of
Permanent Macadam Roads.
1t is the further purpose of the d.
rectOrs to have the surveys and estimates
made this season SO that no time may
be lost i'll getting the work of construC-
ton started next spring.
The State appropriation of 100000
does not become available until January
1, 1905. after which date any county may
draw its proportion, determined by the
number of miles of County Road within
its boundaries.
Allegany county, having COB miles of
road, is entitled to s., 967 80, contingent,
of course, upon the county commission
ers apprOpriating an equal amount.
This will give the directors $l7,934 .2S,
with which it is proposed to build as
many miles of first class road as possible,
distributing it so as to give the diving
public the greatest opportunity of seeing
the work accomplished and enjoying
the resulting advantages, profits and
comforts.
The locations selected are as follows:
mile on National Road, between the 1
and 6mile posts.
mile on Legislative Road, between Cor
rigansville and Barrellville.
mile on Bedford Road between Cumber-
berland and the Pennsylvania Line, Just
north of road built last year.
1 mile on Legislative Road, between
Frostburg and Homecoming.

The S. T. Little JcwcIry COmpany's
Handsome New Building

There is in course of construction on
Baltimore street building which will
not only be credit to the company
erecting it, the S. Il. Little Jewelry Co.,
but also an ornament to the street, and
will add greatly to the progressive APP
pearance of the city.
The S. Il. Little Jewelry Co. was in
corpOrated in the early part of 1902 and
purchased the stock, fixtures and bust
ness of the S. 7. Little & Sons on June
|, 1902, since which date the business
has grown at rate which necessitated
the erection of larger quarters.
The company purchased the property,
Nos. % and 81 Baltimore street, former
ly owned by Mrs. M. Price, milliner,
more recently occupied by the Globe
Clothing store. They demolished the
old building i'll April and have now in
course of construction IA very handsome
three-story store front building, which
will be completed about October 10.
The S. Z Little Jewelry Co. will occupy
the entire ground floor, Dr. Smither,
dentist, the front offices on the second
floor, and Charles Whites Sons, dry
goods dealers, the rear of second floor
and the entire third floor with large
arch-ways communicating with their
building adjoining.
Mr.. Robert w. Little, the president of
the company and general manager, says
the jewelry store will be model in
every particular, all of its details having
been worked out with exact nicely.
The main business room will be So

while he was here he made something of
a sensation.
"Scrappy, aggressive, hard hitters-
that's FrOstburg.
almost every team that comes to
this town has number of singers. Ga
the trip in, the hills resound with the
voices of the merry ball tossers, especial
ly if they have taken away the game.
Yesterday Frostburg did not win, but
they piped up right merrily just the
same
mo wonder the visitors showed gin
ger, their town is chilly one. as can
easily be its name. If they did not move
lively they would freeze in Frostburg."

MIDLAND vs. FROSTBURG.
Thursday afternoon Our Own
dropped another game to DR.. J. H.
Carpenters aggregation from Midland.
1.-The home boys could neither field
nor bat. No less than nine errors We're
made behind Brown, who pitched a
winning game.
Brown got so disguised that he
jumped his contract with manager Dill
lon and left for Baltimore Thursday
night.
This leaves the home team i'll pretty
bad shape for the games already
scheduled.
Twill Spates is select pitcher for Fri
days game with Piedmont, and the new
twlrler, Conaway. will pitch to-day
Saturday against Homecoming.
1T is hoped that this 'hOodoo' will be
broken and the boys be able to hold on to
the first position.

"KenO' writes of "the invasion OF
West Virginia as follows:
"The boys got home Monday night aud
all report pleasant and profitable trip.
The treatment accorded them ut Fair
mont and Grafton was all that could be
desired.
1.-The team arrived at Fairmont Satur-
day morning and all the talk OH the
streets, in the hotels and public places
was base ball. The new pitcher,
Cal Nasblnder had just arrived from
Helena, Montana, and his brother.
TOM who has been doing such great
twirling for the local team was i'll the
very best of form. Heath, of Cleveland,
Bero Conaway, Gibbs, Bryson, Fisher
all i'll good shape and the consensus of
opinion was that 'Frostburg would not
be i'll it at all.
But things are not always what they
seem, and when the game began the
good people of FairmOnt found out they
were up against the real thing.
Brown was on the slab for Our Own
and his good left arm was i'll splendid
form and the big leaguerS on the Fair
mont team We're myStified. Only two
hits were made i'll the entire nine ill.,
nings, and only one man reached third.
"Owen jackson did clever work be-
hind the bat besides, he hit the ball hard
and often.
"The Gunnett brothers on first and
second, and Stakem on third played good
ball at every stage, and Frank Spates at
short was the king pin
"In the ont field jim jackson, Taylor
and Will Spates played the very fastest
kind of ball, and Jackson's running
catch of Fishers drive i'll far left-tield
was truly sensational.
Tom Nasbinder started to do the
artillery work for the locals, but after
the fourth inning he was taken out and
brother Cal took his place, he to get his
dumps i'll regular form.
The support given the Nasbinders
was good.
"Conaway at first and Bero on third
played the game like a house a-tire.
"The umpire, Mr.. Carr, was a good
one. His decisions were fair, for which
he has our thanks.

"Conaway, of Fairmont. played short
for the Grafton team and the club looked
pretty formidable.
They proved an easy thing, however,
and Our Own won by the score of s

"The Gunnett brothers left Sunday
night for home, so John Spates played
first base, Jim Jackson went to second,
and Cooper played left.
Flanagan pitched in good form and
the boys behind him played in first

eight singles.

" in New York, called "a hue."

the sand to play the first inning.
The JOURNAL does not indulge the
foolishness of calling teams "Finishers, :"
"Inviucibles, Chants etc. The one
occasionally does not Finish :" the next

play like piymies. The great paper has
but one name for one team-that of

Baseball reports in the Cumberland
.NeWs are quite Kaleidoscope, The
picture runs from the bombastic to the
pathetic-from the "Finishers" to the
.'Cripples.'' An argument, however,
against playing half teams against
whole ones is thus furnished from Il
quarter other than Frostburg.
1t seems to be a matter of astonish-
ment in Cumberland to find ali umpire
outside as fair as Manlove inside.
BREvITIEs
The Lonadoning STIR offered its
offices as ii Hague Tribunal to Dr. j. H.
Carpenter, manager of the Midland
team, in the event of J. Francis Qninn,
umpire, throwing wild in the game
wherein the cOnfddates of shareholders
were .fer and aginst." The doctor,
however, feared the medicine wOuldn t
fit the disease and very automatically
declined to have himself indicated i'll
the event of calamity. This was IL
great blow to the alleged power of the
press and "A greater one to the brash
theory that IF You don't see it III the
star, it's not so.

Sunday luck stayed with that team
throughout the game, finally winning by

1T is said in Fairmont that no team

Sunday game, and Our Own though
playing better ball and batting hard
enough to win two games, by Il little
hard luck lost.
"Flanagan went in to pitch, and after
the first inning gave way to Brown, who
threw hard enough to win any game.

W llY?

The Homecoming Press makes pungent
protest against the dirty electric railway
cars.
On the other hand, the Homecoming
star of same place finds fault with the
town Council for discriminating against
the horse and giving the hog right-of-
way to street pasture.
1t can thus be seen that the Press over
looks one oversight in viewing another,
and the Sfaf fails to see one of two Its"
both $50"
Now, what can the electric road com
pany have against the Press that it
should allow its cars to remain dirty?
And what can Council have against
the Star that it should favor the hog?
Or why does the road endeavor to
please the star in the matter of dirt and
Council displease the Press concerning
grazing and roofing on the streets:
In Frostburg, however, the star is
quietly a friend of the hog and silently
foe of the Belt Line.
Why?
