Fish for Garrett Stream 5.

Last Thursday night some fifteen
thousand brook trout from the Govern
ment Hatchery located in Virginia were
received in Oakland for planting in
several streams in Garrett county.
The fish were one year old, measuring
nearly three inches each in length, and
were apparently in the best condition
possible, extreme care being taken with
them. Some twelve thousand were
taken to McHenry by Messrs. D. Nc
Lean and D. W. Fraker the same night
they were received here. Capt. P. A.
Chisholm alsomet the train bringing the
fish, receiving therefrom several thous-
and which he deposited in the Wilson
lake djoining Oakland.

l~LR0AD TIED UP
BY COSTLY WRECK
Broken Wheel Piled Up Twenty Cars
in a Deep Cut.

A costly freight wreck occurred on
the Pittsburg division of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, one mile west of
Philson, about twenty miles northwest
of Cumberland, late Tuesday afternoon.
A broken wheel caused twenty steel
coal hoppers, all loaded, to be piled in a
mass in deep cut. 1t was reported
that the engineer and fireman were
killed, but later it was stated that one
brakeman only was slightly bruised.
The wreckage was so hard to get at
that the division was closed nearly a
day. All express trains between Cum
land and Pittsburg were sent by the
way of Oakland. A rigger train and a
messenger train of two coaches were
sent from Cumberland, the latter to
bring here transferred passengers from
train No. Sc.
Trains No. IA, II and 4 We're all sent
by Fairmont and Oakland.

THE STAKE WAS DRIVEN
LAST SATURDAY MORNING
Marking Spot Where First Attempt to
Find Oil in Garrett VIII Be Made.

Last Saturday morning in the pres
ence Of more than fifty persons who had
assembled to witness the event, Mr..
Chauncey Kimmell, vice president of
the YOugh River Oil and Gas Company,
drove the stake marking the spot where
the first attempt to find oil or gas in
Garrett county will be made.
The place selected by the parties in
terested in the development of the hid
den treasures of the earth is located On
the farm of Mr.. John Harmed five miles
west of Oakland and within hundred
yards of that gentleman's residence.
At the time the stake was driven Mr..
J. W. Alderton, of Mountain Lake Park.
general manager for the company, was
also present along with a photograph,
who made snapshot of the crowd.
Much of the material for the derrick
and engine house has already been
placed on the ground and one car load
of tools and machinery has been receiv-
ed at Hutton and hauled to the place
where operations will begin as soon as
the derrick and other structures are
erected, work upon which will probably
begin yet this week.

CEDED TO WEST VA. CONFERENCE
Ohicial Action Taken by Baltimore
Conference With Respect to
Appointments.

At the annual Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church of the Bal
timore Conference held in Cumberland
last week, adjourning on Monday after
noon last, the joint commission consist
ing of Revs. r. B. Ward, C. B. Graham,
l.. b. Roberts, J. ]. Robinson and c.
H. Lakin, of the West Virginia Con-
ference, and Revs. M. F. B. Rice, w.
w. Barnes, w. A. Koontz C. H. Rich
ardson and John Edwards, of the Balti-
more Conference, to adjust the contro-
versy between the Baltimore and West
Virginia Conferences regarding the oc-
cupancy of certain territory within the
geographical boundary of the former,
reported that meeting was held at
Mountain Lake Park. 1t developed that
Grantsville is within the bounds of the
West Virginia conference except the
Mt. Zion appointment. which was given
to the West Virginia conference by
mutual arrangement nearly thirty years
ago. The West Virginia conference
conceded that Swanton, Blaine, Cor
mania and Bayard are within the
limits of the Baltimore conference but
that the work had been taken up and
developed by the West Virginia con-
ference, and had it not done so the two
conferences would have nothing to con-
tend for along that part of the Western
Maryland railroad. To disturb the ex-
is ting relations of that work to the
West Virginia conference would not
improve the condition Of the work it
self and would seriously embarass the
work in the Oakland district of the West
| Virginia conference 1t was finally Ge-
termined that the boundary be so
changed as to include the churches and
congregations now in the Bayard,
Blaine, Gormania, Grantsville and
Swanton circuits within the West Vir-
ginia conference.
The report of the committee on
/ Mountain Lake Park Students confer
ences pledges the support Of the confer
ence to the project. More than thirty
college presidents have accepted places
on the advisory board of the confer
| ence.

Letter to D. NJ Mas on.
Oakland, Nd.

Dear Sir: If we sell Devoe to paint
your town, your road won't have so
much freight to handle.
1t takes 10 gallons to paint fair-size
house, and that house won't want paint
ing again for 5 or 10 years. That's
true in way; but people, you know,
rather like fresh paint, and they paint
for nothing but looks sometimes.
That house would take II or 10 gallons
of almost any other paint than Devoe,
and would have to be painted again in
half that time. Ten years is very long
time for paint to wear: and five isn't
short.
Which makes the most freight, a lC
or 2O-gallon paint? or 1O-year paint?
But the 10-gallon paint is the 1O-year
paint; and the 20-gallon paint is the s.
year paint. Which makes the most
freight?
Ask your paint-dealer which he'd
rather sell, and which he could sell most
Of. Ask your painter which he'd rather
paint; whether good or bad paint is good
for his business; which is good paint,
the 10 or 15-gallon paint; which pays
most freight, and which pays most
wages. Which will you buy yourself,
the l0-gallon 10-year, or 20-gallon s.
year, paint?
Yours truly,
q F. W. DEvoE & Co.
Dixon & Kelso, Oakland and C. M.
Rathbun & Sons, Mountain Lake Park
sell our paint.

SCHOOL A RENTS
BLUM STREET CHURCH.
Several Half Session Classes Will Now
Be Able to Receive Full Days
instruction.

The Board of Education has rented the
Reformed Church building, known as the
Blum Street Church, as an annex to the
South Tenth Street School, and two classes
of the Fifteenth Avenue School, which
have been having halliday sessions be-
cause of the lack of facilities. were trans
ferred there today. and one class from the
Camden Street School was taken to the
Fourteenth Avenue School.
The church building was rented from the
cons!story of the church for $50 monthly.
An agreement was also made to pay the
church janitor SIS monthly to take care of
the building. Two years ago 1t was rented
by the Board of Education for a similar
purpose, and 1t was thought the new
school house additions would make its use
unnecessary this year. However, 1t was
found this could not be done.
This is the first change eliminating half
day classes which has been made since the
transfer several weeks ago of several
classes from tine Charlton Street School
to a building on johnson street. condi-
tions III a crowded section of the city are
materially relieved by the change, and on
account of the transfers the number Of
halliday classes is reduced to n minimum
for the year.

DEATH TO AID SIGNS?
RURAL ASSESSOR FINDS
WAY TO DRIVE THEM OUT.
Landscape Disagreement Panacea to Be
Found in Imposition of
Billboard Tax.

TRENTON, Nov. 20.-There is talk of
taxing the advertising signs stretched
over the fields. along the railroad
routes and the public highways out of
existence. But those who patronize
that scheme of making themselves and
their specialties known "a that the
! advantages of it are worth more than
the taxes will add to the cost, and the
unslghtly boards are likely 10 keep on
d~efaeing the landscape.
Along the line of the Pennsylvania
Railroad there are between Jersey City
and Trenton more than 1000 of the
signs. There are mammoth figures of
COWS, a whole herd of them, and of
women and trunks and corsets n
beer kegs and what not scattered on
the intervening country to catch the
eye of the passing travellers. At one
point a land company has strung a
fence a half-miIe long to make its Of
! ferings known.
To former Governor Murphy's es-
thetic sense these advertising billboards
and like devices seemed a blot on the
land. and he asked the Legislature
three or four years ago to take steps
TO have the Disagreement ended. Moth
ing was done about 1t.
But a year or two ago one of the
rural tax officials concluded that these
signs represented investment and value
that made them subject to taxation,
and he listed those in his district among
the local ratables. The advertising
concern appealed from the ruling. TIL
State Board of Equalization has, how
ever, Just decreed that they are prop
erly included among the taxable things
In the district, and the likelihood is
that the officials of all the other taxing
districts will follow the example.
The imposition of a tax may not, it is
conceded, put an end to the landscape
disagreement, but it Is expected to
make a perceptible reduction in the
extent Of 1t.

WHITE HAND STARTS
OUT AFTER BLACK HAND.
Swear In First Members Of Secret
Police to Hunt Down
Blackmailers.

CHICAGO. Nov. 20.-The first MEM
hers Of the Mano Blanca, or White
HAND police force have been sworn
in and have started on their task
Of running down the suspected lead
ers of the Black Hand in Chicago.
Twenty Italians-peddlers clerks and
laborers-were enrolled in the secret
list of the new society by stephen
Malato, acting chief of police OF the
foes Of the Black Hand.
Only Mr.. Malato and two other mem :
bers Of the executive committee or
The society know who are the secret
agents of the police department.
These men have the names of the
eleven Black Hand suspects and will
watch their every moye.
1t Is probable that the Chicago So
ciety will be the main branch of q
national movement to rid the coun-
try Of the Italian and Sicilian black
mailers, who have been using tbs
Black Hand symbol to terrify theii
victims. Letters and kilograms a v
been received from influential Ital-
ians in New York and other cities ask
ing the object of the Chicago society
and indicating a desire to cooperate
in the work.
The White Hand police will be as
secret as the band that it is sought
to stamp out. From the many italian
societies in Chicago that have Joined
the White Hand movement nearly 500
applications were received for places
as secret agents." Only a few trusted
men were chosen however, and TWEEN
ty of these were selected for imme-
date duty.

MUST WEIGH COAL
SMALL DEALERS RECEIVE
OFFICIAL NOTICE.
Action Taken to Protect Those Who
Buy in Small Quantities from
Fraud in Pail System.

In pursuance to the ordinance passed
some time G by the weights and
measures committee of Common Coun-
ell regulating the weights and meas
ures and setting the standard to be
used in this city, City Sealer Patrick
Caufield has caused to be issued 5000
cards notifying storekeepers that coal
sold in small quantities must not be
sold by measure, but by weight, and
the inspectors of the city s~ealer's
force will wage a vigorous campaign on
v%iolators of the ordinance.
1t is estimated at the present time
there are 1000 small stores in the city
selling coal by the pail, and some
times the pals used are small and
the purchasers are cheated, whereas
by the weight system a rate can be
set.
