GIAY EXTEND RAIL
ROAD To OAKLAND.
Extension of Confluence and Oakland
Road Agitated.
1T WOULD TAP A RICH SECTION
Such A Line Would Enable Pitts
burgers To Reach Garrett Coun-
ty fountain Summer Resorts.

The Deer Park correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun under date of Monday,
referring to the project Of extending
the Confluence and Oakland railroad
from Kendall to Oakland goes into the
matter pretty thoroughly and advances
reasons why the line should be extend
ed, namely the opening of the coal lands
now owned by the Penn-Garrett Coal
Company. The Suns correspondent
says:
The question of the extension of the
Confluence and Oakland railroad into
Oakland, the county seat Of Garrett
county, is again being discussed. From
Confluence, Pa, & station on the Pitts
burg division of the Baltimore and Ohio,
the Confluence and Oakland road has its
inception. 1t penetrates a virgin coun-
try, rich in lumber and coal, and runs
through Garrett county, Maryland, al
most within hailing distance of Oakland,
and there it stops. Oakland has been
ready to extend a welcome to it on its
advent within its territory, and the re-
ception would be warm one.
'By this line into Oakland three sum-
mers resorts, Deer Park, Mountain
Lake Park, and Oakland, would be
within about four hours from Pittsburg,
instead of the present route by way of
Cumberland, Keyser, Piedmont and
thence up the 17-mile grade to the
mountain top.
'The present agitation of the extern
sion Of the Confluence and Oakland road
is based on the organization of the
Penn-Gerrett Coal Mining Company,
he stockholders of which are to assem-
~a~e at Friendsville on May IA to elect a
board of directors.
"The company was incorporated by
the last Legislature of Maryland, and is
for the purpose of developing a large
section of coal land in Garrett county
and for the building of railways to
transport the output Of the mines to
market.
"Work of opening the mines has be-
gun short distance south of Friends
vile, on the Youghiogheny river, where
veins of merchantable coal has been
shown, the largest being six feet thick.
In addition, one four-foot vein and one
of about three feet will be worked.
1.-The work thus far begun will con-
vince the stockholders that business is
in sight. Friendsville is on the Conflu-
ence and Oakland road, and the ques-

NATURAL CAS- MAY Be
BROUGHT To OAKLAND
West Virginia Central Gas Company
Granted a Franchise Last Niuht by
MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
TO Lay rIains in the Streets and 10
Furnish Product to Consumers
Probabilities Are That the latter
VIII Take Definite Shape.

Last night at an adjourned session of
the Town Council a franchise was grant
ed the West Virginia Central Gas Com
pany to lay mains under the streets and
alleys Of Oakland through which to con
duct natural gas for domestic uses and
manufacturing purposes to the citizens
of Oakland.
This company has already laid a lire
of pipe from its fields near Weston, W.
Va, to point north of Parsons, W.
Va, the objective point of their opera
tons being Cumberland and intermedi-
ate points. Their intention is to tap the
main line at German when it reaches
that point and build line from there to
Oakland.
The representative of the company
who was here last night spoke very ia
vorably Of the enterprise and in all
probability the line will be put in the
coming summer.
At the Monday night session of Coun-
Gil all members of that body were pres
ent with Mr.. Harmed presiding.
The report Of the committee appoint
ed to examine the condition of walks,
streets and alleys was read and property
owners whose walks need repairing will
receive the proper notice.
Messrs. J. c. Renninger and W.sR.
Offutt appeared and applied for fran
chise to put in water and sewerage
system. These gentlemen proposed to
furnish supply of water from the Lit
tie Yough river. Their proposition was
taken under advisement and nothing
definite done with it.
The annual levy for town purposes was
made which remains the same as last
year sixty cents for all purposes.
The monthly bills for police, light and
other expenses were read and ordered
paid.

have made efforts to secure some form of adjustment of these water rights. This office has not insisted upon any particular form of adjustment, but has consistently taken the position that the adjustment must be final and binding upon all parties concerned
 The efforts which have been made to secure the adjustment without re- course to a suit have heretofore been unsuccessful and accordingly during the spring of this year the board of governors of the Water Users associa- ton took the necessary sseps to have the adjustment made by means of jul dicial proceedings.
 This office has been in receipt of some correspondence objecting to this form of adjustment and upon instruc-
 tions from the chief engineer. Assist ant Chief Engineer Ravis, and Super
 Vising Engineer Bien proceeded to
 Phoenix and discussed the situation
 with the Water Users association and
 others interested.
 A meeting of the board of governors
 was held July 31, and general notice
 was given that the attendance of all
 those interested was desired. The sub
 ject was fully discussed and it seemed
 clear to the great majority of those
 present that no adjustment of water rights which would meet the necessities of the case was practicable except a
 suit.
 The following day a private meeting was held at which several of those who
 signed the letter under consideration
 were present. These parties were not
 willing to discuss the matter in pub lie meeting and represented most of the interests who were opposed to the prosecution of the suit. They were very anxious that an opportunity should be allowed them to adjust the
 matter by contract and an understand ing was reached to that effect with the distinct provise, however, that nothing should be done to interfere with the progress of the suit, but that these parties should be free to make such arrangements as they might find feasi- ble for obtaining the necessary con- tracts. They expressed themselves as confident of their ability to obtain such contracts before much progress could ! be made with the suit.
 1 This office has not been advised of any progress in obtaining the contracts in question. Many of the best inform ! ed people in Phoenix do not believe it possible to obtain such contracts, and for this reason the representatives of the chief engineer were careful to avoid any expression that could be con strued as sanctioning any understand ! ing that would interfere with the prose cutiOn Of the suit in question. This office is of the opinion that any l interference with the progress of the suit should be definitely discouraged until substantial results looking to an adjustment by contract have been ac- cOmplished and I recommend that the gentlemen who have addressed the de 1 partment be so advised.
 Very respectfully, Acting Director

A DELIGHTFUL JOURNEY. Taken by Any One at Small Expense

bright young lady was telling a
 friend recently of her trip along the
 most delightful road she ever travelled
 the food route. She said:
 For a number of years have been
 a sufferer from indigestion with its at
 tendant ailments, but my case was not
 sufficiently serious to cause alarm un-
 til two years ago.
 'In the early part of this summer my
 stomach was in such a state l could
 take very little food owing to the in tense suffering it caused. consequently l was losing flesh rapidly, and growing weaker every day. l had read about Grape-Nuts in the papers and maga- zines, and two months ago persuaded myself to try a package. l read the little booklet 1t contained and resolved | to follow instructions as closely as pos sible.
 "The result may be understood when l say that l met a friend whom l had
 not seen for three months. Her first | inquiry was. Where have you been all summer" I said, for the past two months I've been travelling along the road to Melville"
 What are you doing?' she asked. "I've been feasting on GTape-N uts and drinking Postum Coffee. I replied.
 "'Oh.' she said. you are looking so well I did not know you at first sight "Whereupon I told her all about it- advising her to pursue the same course and continue it indefinitely, as l shall do.

COAL SHORTAGE At SEATTLE
Enoughg on Hand for a Few Days
but the Situation Has Not
Improved.

Seattle, Dec. The Pacific Coast
company received about ninety cars Of
coal today from the Black Diamond and
Franklin mines, mostly of an inferior
grade, that can be used only on steam
ships. While the supply may be better
for a few days, the situation remains
practically the same, and the shortage
may continue for some time yet The
other coal dealers are still vainiy en-
deavoring to fill the demand for fuel.
Manager Charles Claussen Of the Pa
cihc Coast company made a statement
tonight to the effect that he believed
that the shipment OF coal received by
his company would be enough to fill all
orders for at least a few days.
Every wagon that comes to our
bunkers will be filed tomorrow" he
said In order TO prevent unnecessary
delay we Will add to our force for work
men. As long as we have any fuel in
our bunkars we viii dispose Of it 10
any and all Corners without discrimina-
ton. The shipment we received today
viii go TO the steamship companies.
The statement that we had raised
the price of our coal because OF the
scarcity is ridiculous. However bad
the famine may become. We viii not
raise the price unless the mine owners
that supply US raise theirs

New York for Shady Trans
action in Michigan.

New york, Dec. 2.-Noam Jasogrod-
sky. who represented himself to be a
former agent of the Mutual Life Insur-
ance company, recently engaged as a
chess expert and teacher and Wall
street agent for mining stock, was ar
raigned today and committed to the
TOmbs without bail for foTty-eight

ton by which he is alleged TO have re-
ceived $4,000 from NJ. Simblier, of Bay
City, TO cover wedding expenses, and
failed TO return the same. Jasogrodslxy
admitted the transaction, which he said
was of the type known as an Exchange
of notes." and said that payment had
been held up on account of q dispute
over the interest payments. The obli-
cation was incurred he said, Just prior
TO his marriage last April to daugh-
ter of the late Rabbi Wolf Landau, of
Bay City.
He denounced his arrest as an out
rage and the result of a conspiracy. In
court he said he had been for some
time the general agent for Canada of
the Mutual Life Insurance company.
He said he had been admitted TO the
best society and had had the honor of
teaching President Roosevelt and other
prominent persons TO play chess. He
was prepared, he said, TO furnish bail i'm
any amount up to 100000 if given an
opportunity, and was enraged when the
Michigan officials insisted that he be
locked up. The prisoner intimated
that he would fight extradition.

FOUL MURDERER
LANDED IN JAIL
A. H. SibIey, Who Killed and
Robbed Three Men, Captured
by Texas Officers.

perate fight with Officers during which
he was shot several times, \. r. Sib-

have murdered and robbed b. NJ. Cav
thorn and ]. w. RalstOn and another
fancher on three successive days. in
aiVerde county, was captured last
night in the mountains near Sander
son, and is now in jail, believed TO be
mortally wounded.
The circumstances attending the three
murders are said to have been almost
Identical In each case Sibley nIIr-
chased large herds from his alleged vic
tim. the rancher delivering the stock
at Del Rio, receiving a check, which he
promptly cashed, and later being found
murdered and robbed
The murders aroused intense excite
ment and were at first attributed TO
feeling growing out of the arrest of al
legged revolutionists. Civil officers and
state rangers patrolled the American
side of the Rio Grande, while Mexican
troops and rurales did like service on
the Mexican side. The disappearance
of Sibley led to suspicion OF his con-
nection with the crimes. and pursuit
of him was at once begun. He was
CVertaken in the hills and a desperate
fight followed. 1t was not until he
had wounded several of his pUrsuers
and had been rendered helpless by his
own wounds that he was taken.

progress This is the first time the peo-

most interesting questions that will be
considered will be the provision as to
prohibition. The chairman of the COM
mittee that will draft this particular
provision is believed to favor high IL

rates the separation of whites. negroes
and Indians i'm schools and on public
conveyances: the regulation of corpora
