A LETTER FROM Mr.. BOND.
Commencing the Republican Ticket
and Calling Upon All TO Support Il.
BOND. MD August %. 1906.

BOND, MD, August %, 1905.
To the EditOr oftbe Republicans:
l want to express in the most pub
lie and emphatic manner NV hearty
approval of the strong ticket which
has been placed before the people of
Garrett county by the Republican
party.
While L was an aSpirant for the
high and honorable position OF Sena-
tor and made spirited contest for
the nomination, being impelled to do
so by an ambition to represent my
fellow-citizens in the upper branch
of the General Assembly of Maryland,
l feel that my withdrawal was in
the interest of party harmony and
for the party's good, and the selec-
ton of Mr.. W. McCulloh Brown
meets with up entire approval and
merits the unqualified support of
every true party man who claims to
be Republican.
But not only is the ticket excep-
tiOnally strong in its candidate for the
Senate, but its entire personnel equal
ly commends itself to popular APP
prevail.
The future of our county is a great
one, and its development will depend
upon the character, energy and abili-
ty of the men to whom shall be en-
trusted the management of its COY
eminent and internal affairs. We
want careful, conservative, but wide
awake and progressive, servants of
the people in office, upon whom de-
wolves the working out and eXecu-
ton of whatever policy may best suit
the genius of our people.
| want to thank most cordially
those of my fellow-citizens who stood
by me, and to congratulate all NY
fellow Republicans upon the work of
its convention, and to urge upon all
to give the the ticket, without re-
serve, the same measures Of support
which it shall be my pleasure to do.
Sincerely YOURS.

AT the Indiana Yearly Meeting of

AT the meeting next year it has
been estimated that two thousand

but that it can be accomplished there
is little doubt.

the place and returning to Anderson
they recommended the selection of
the Park for the next meeting.

Pine NUT
ONCE MORE
A New Process May En-
able Owner to Work
Ores at a Profit

Through the instrumentality of
men Interested in the mining opera
tions in Pine Nut, an expert, a Mr..
Helman has been investigating the
mineral deposits of the once famous
Zirn camp, about miles from Gard
nerville. The gentleman is an ex-
pert in cyaniding and the treatment of
rebellious ores. He will give the de-
posits in that district thorough test
and investigation before definately
stating any conclusions. He claims to
have a special process, that if the
proper conditions are to be secured,
that he has confidence in his ability
to save the gold in the gravelly de-
posits that are scattered over con-
siderable area and all known to carry
values of no small Importance, and
that by some cheap process could be
made to net handsome profit to the
owners.
The owners of the small mill on
Pine Nut creek are having it put in
shape to run through the dump and
at the same time it will be treated by
the special process mentioned. 1t is
hoped that the test will demonstrate
enough to be an incentive for more
systematic research and thus open a
district that at one time caused con-
siderable excitement throughout the
western part of the state
A gentleman interesed stated that
If the researches now being carried
on proved encouraging, the old camp
would take on new life, and prospect
ing be carried on scale that would
add considerable revenue to Gardner
vile and vicinity.
VIM. Zirn, the original discoverer
found most of his gold on a bedrock
of sulphate of lime, better known as
alabaster with gravelly soil full of
the same substance as the compost
tion of the bedrock. The greatest
trouble experienced was in getting
rid of the heavy black irony sand.
his like in many other mining opera
tions, was always the ghost that rose
to haunt the miner, because of nearly
the equal weight of the gold and black
sand.
1t is to be hoped that that method is
we'll on the way to successfully cope
with the difficulties in the way of
getting profit out of the mines in
that section.

Advantages of San Francisco for a
Business Education Over the
Smaller Towns.

Six months, or year, spent in San
Francisco at big business college, like
the California, is worth perhaps as
much to the country boy indirectly
from his associations as the training
he gets at the college. Coming in con-
tact with so many busy people wears
off the rough corners, gives him conf
dence in himself, teaches him to meet
people face to face and to talk clearly
and to the point to them without en-
barrassment. If his surroundings are
right, the moral influence is helpful,
and not harmful. He will not only
study the business phase of a great
city in all its thousand special lines,
but will visit tie numberless places
that are open to him without charge,
such as the Union Iron Works, the
great manufacturing plants, the public
museums and parks, and thus get an
education outside of his college studies
t at he could never acquire while at
tending business college in small
interior town. If he desires to stay
there and go into business, there a
thousand opportunities open to him
to where there is one in the small
town, and he can thus turn his educa-
ton into cash at once. If he desires to
return home he comes back broader,
keener, more progressive boy by far
than he would from the small town.
Such a college as the California at
San Francisco, with the additional ed
ucational facilities of the city, will do
a hundred per cent more for your boy
or your daughter, than can possibly be
done by any small business college in
the local country town, no matter how
good the school may be, and at the
same cost.

Instructive
LECTURES
The Experiment Station
Staff Deeply Interest
Valley Farmers.

The Farmers Institute held in the
school house, taken from a lecture
standpoint, was eminently successful,
but from the point of attendance il
was somewhat disappointing. The
Friday .eyening meeting was graced
with very small attendance of those
who could, and would receive the
most benefit from the lectures and
discussions. On that evening DR..
Drake, government expert of contag-
ious diseases, discussed with the
audience the causes and remedies for
blackleg and anthrax, the two diseases
most prevalent among the cattle in the
Valley. The lecture was extremely
interesting and the doctor showed
eonclusively that both diseases could
be controlled by proper precautions
during the sickness and after the
death of the infected animals. Pro
fessor True spoke briefly on the pur-
poses of farmers meetings and show
ed how successful and helpful they
were to farmers in other parts of the
country. Saturday afternoon Miss
Bardenwerper gave her highly inter
esting lecture to the ladies, on the
methods employed in teaching girls
the mysteries of domestic sienee and
household economy. She gave a
demonstration in cooking, donning
the costume worn and going through
a lesson as if she were instrueting her
class in the university. Saturday eve
ming DR.. Z. b. Kennedy lectured on
poisonous plants, and the treatment OF
poisoned stock His lecture was fol
lowed by a short lalk by Professor
Buchanan, on teaching agricultural
subjects in the public schools. The
last on the program was an address
by DIR. Stubbs, President of the Uni
versity, on the Agricultural Colleg,
and the Farmer. The honorabl,
| gentleman showed conclusivelv tha
the agricultural course in the Univer
! sity, can be made the most important
course there, if the farmers will taxi
holo of the matter and use their in
fiuenee to assist in uplifting the call
ing of agriculture, giving it the sam,
support that other courses receive
and which have made the universit,
graduates of our institution so muci
sought after in the mining world
All of the gentlemen expressed them
selves as highly pleased with the pro
gress oi Carson valley and its evident
prosperity.

Authorities Should Act.

The Indians near Bridgeport are
afflicted with a disease that resem-
bles small pox but goes by the name of
Manila Itch. From what we can
learn it is similar to the case of small
pox that was qnarantined here last
summer year ago, which by timely
quarantining the disease was checked
before it had any chance to spread to
others. So far as we can learn no
effort is being made by the authorities
of Mono county to check its spread to
other parts.
This makes it important that all
travelling to or from that section
should take proper precautions so as
not to come in contact with any who
have been exposed to the malady. No
Indians of this Valley, so far as we
know, have been out that way, or have
in anyway been exposed to the disease
nor are they likely to until spring
work begins and the haying season
opens. 1t is hoped that by that time
the trouble will have run its course
