and make them look like amateurs.
Doc" Shank. formerly superin-
tendent OF the NJ. L. & O.. and
more recently at Crellin, once said
that he "reckoncd about the only
way a snake could hold fast would
be for him to grab his tail in his
mouth after he'd looped himself
fast to somethin, and the writer
allowed" it was so.
From Muddy Creek Junction the
little Kendell road branches, 60
ing up both sides of the Youghio-
ghenyriver on grades approximate
" II per cent Of 600 feet to the
mile. Here's where the funny
geared Il comotives, with their
clanking and rafting cog wheels,
get busy. They snort, puff and
fuss around like some cantanker-
GUS backwoodsman who by heck"
amt goin to stand it.
In this most remarkable gorge,
with its endless arrayof perpendic-
ular rock walls, massive boulders
and huge rock sections that ages
ago fell from the cliffs overhead,
the narrow gauge wends it way 10
the top ofthe mountain. One mile
below Swallow Falls, Deep Creek
roars down a rocky cascade in mag
nifcent fashion, swelling the river
below. A few hundred yards a.
bove, along the opposite shore and
coming to join the main water
course, is Muddy Creek. This
good-slzed creek, larger than
White Rock, just before it enters
the valley below makes a sheer
drop of 81 feet. The sight from
the opposite bank Of the Yough-
iogheny, as one gazes through the
branches Of the pine trees, taking
full front view of the falls is
most charming But a short dis
lance up the main stream is Swal-
low Fails, seven to eight miles
from Oakland.
Nature designed this waterfall
in two separate sections-one be-
low the other. Close at hand is a
loose rock formation, an island in
fact, cut into existence by the
rush o! water around it. Its sides
are probably so feet high. Ii is
topped off by a couple of trees.
The whole thing is lop-side to an
alarming degree. Time and again
has the writer stood at a distance
wondering whether or not the
blamed thing would not tumble in
to the water but year fter year,
like some Of the strange formations
in the Yosemite valley, it is always
there when one returns for another
look.
The branch OF the NJ. L. & o.
leading up the west bank of the
Youghiogheny rom Muddy Creek
Junction, after tremendous labor,
finally mounts to the top of the
mountain spur and over quite
level country runs westward for
about six miles to the Lewis trout
dam. There is also a very pictur
esque branch road clint bling up
White Rock run to the summit.
Here ten per cent grade is en-
ployed, Incidentally, the point
derives its name from the very
light color of the adjacent rocks.
There is still another branch run
ing up Hoyes run. This was
opened last summer.
Much of the timber has been
taken out. However, large quaint
ties remain --some being too great
difficult of access and is therefore
the cost too great to warrant its
removal, and again some is not
for sale. All told the NJ. L. &. o
embraces SO miles of lines.
The entire country is most
charming; is rich historically
that is, if one likes quaint things,
and is worth a volume. 1t is
really delightful place to spend
the summer"

capital neglects TO set aside two
large blocks of land in the vicinity
OF White Rock and farther south
at Swallow Falls and Muddy
Greek Falls for park purposes 1t
will be nothing short OF a positive
crime of commission and not onis-
sion.
The Manor Land and Oakland
railroad is a narrow guage line
with scarcely two rails ofthe same
weight. 1t is laid with every
thing from what was once new IS
pounds to- the yard rails up to old
STYLE seventies or eighties. The
road, of course, never engaged in
general transportation, and has no
passenger or freight traffic beyond
the log trains and the few noun
taineers who take their life in
their hands when they come down
the line astride logging truck.
The motive power department con-
sists of four Climax locomotives,
built at Cory, Pa. Underneath
these engines are mass Of cog
wheels. To ordinary folk they
are most peculiar and are worth a
story in themselves.
This curions little road begins
at Kendall, 20 miles south of Con-
fuence, Pa, and extends due
south for IS miles to Browning's
saw mill at Swallow Falls, Md.
From the latter point there is a
branch eastward well up on the
TO? or the western slope Of the Al
Iegany mountain. Ii follows Deep
Creek for five or six miles so that
the .iue is really about Ig miles
long
Scarcely three miles south of
Kendall after traversing as rocky
and picturesque a gorge as there is
in the Allegheny mountains, the
narrow guage jumps across the
Youghiogheny river at 4 most
wonderful scenic point. Down
through narrow canyon for three
milesonward and northward rushes
the river, jumping, leaping, seeth-
ing and boiling; pools and cas-
cades, one after the other in
fantastic profusion and confusion,
the water ever clear, sometimes
green and sometimes blue.
One-forth mile up stream from
the little steel bridge is White
Rock. a small tributary that III sh-
ed down the mountain side from
the divide over TO the west by the
Preston county, w. Va, line. in
