Georges Creek Region

For man years the Georges Creek
Region has produced Il large tonnage
of coal, it being one of the oldest soft
coal-producing regions in the United
States.
During the time the Region has
been in operation number Of towns
have grown up, chief among them
Frostburg, grown and developed
from a small mining village until to-
day it is a city Of 5000 inhabitants.
1t has large, imposing buildings,
hotels and schools, paved streets,
elcctric'lights, natural gas, and water.
1t is located over 1900 feet above
sea-level on the beautiful plateau be-
tween Dams and Great Savage noun
tains and is a place of delightful res
idencc.
1t lies on the historic National
Pike and is the focus of a number Of
good driving roads. In addition, the
State of Maryland has lately started
the building of a series of drives
which will finally result in giving the
section around Frostburg the finest
highways in the country.
1t has electic railways, with inter
urban service to Cumberland, Iona
coming, Piedmont, and many inter
mediate points, together with the
important Cumberland and Pennsyl-
vania Railroad connection with the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
The town has grown to be one of
the most prosperous and wealthy
communities in the country, the three
banks in the town showing deposits
of over 81, 100000, with total assets
of over ?2,OO0,OO0. and in addition
large number of smaller banks are
located in the Georges Greek Region,
all of which have been signalIy sue
cessful.
The town of Frostburg contains
fourteen churches, comprising all
denominations.
1t has a magnificent school system,
with four large buildings, including
Il State Normal School.
1t has two artificial Elephants; Il
well regulated and efficient fire de
partmcnt-in fact, everything to
make Il city wherein the senses of
comfort and security make living a
luxury.
During recent years Frostburg has
enjoyed a large growth due to new
popula' ion, and to-day there are prob
ably as many or more new houses in
course Of construction than in any
town of the size in the nited States.
TO the casual observer the reason
for this growth might be a mystery,
but an investigation of conditions
discloses the reason very clearly, and
that is-that Frostburg has become

| the centre of all the activity in the
Georges Creek Region, and, by gen
eraI consensus. is regarded as the city
on the Creek whose growth will be
continuous in the Years to come.
There are no more loyal people in
the whole wide world than those ON
Georges Creek. TO Georges Creek
people the Region is THE land of
promise" and the city Of Frostburg
is their metropolis, and while other
small towns have been standing still.
Frostburg has been continuously in
crcasing its population and business.
and now that the coal operators have
opened up and started in to develop
an entirel Y new vein of coal, of which
great industry Frostburg is the CEN
ire and the headquarters, there is no
question but that the town will grow
more rapidly than ever before.
1t is Il Wcll-known fact that as a
city grows and new population is
added real estate values increase, and
the accessions plainly to be seen in
the future for Frostburg are bound
to add to the value of every lot and
building in the town.
| p to the present time there has
been little or no rcal-estatc movement
and the prices of real estate have not
increased in comparison to the towns
growth, the fact being that real es-
tate of all kinds in Frostburg TO-DAY.
although 1t rents well and at good
prices, is not estimated and has not
been selling at anything near the
actual value.
1t is also a wcll-known fact that
every town or city, when it reaches Il
certain point in its growth, develops
ii rapid increase in values in real cs-
tate as soon as the owners begin to
realize what it is worth, and the in
creased population and growth of the
place call for its use
There is no doubt but what this
point has been reached in rostburg,
and it is confidently believed that the
next SIX months or II year will see Il
decided advance in rcal-cstate prices
in the town.
1t is bound to come, for every es-
sentiaI element justifying an increase
is present, and the investor who pur-
chascS desirable sites for residence or
business at present prices will find
in the course of time that his invest
mcnt will net him very much greater
profit than he could possibly get in
interest on the same money, and his
capital would be perfectly and abSo-
lutely safe in rcaI-estate invest
ment, and the history of investment
shows there is no investment of any
character so substantial or that shows
greater profits.

ran off through patch Of switch
cane.
Gathering up the dead bird, the two
of us made a rapid detour through
the woods in the attempt to head off
the other bird, and, after running
some four hundred yards, making
circuit around the patch Of cane, we
took stands in an open glade in the
general direction the turkey had head
ed. Then my friend began calling
again and it was not long until the
turkey answered him. It came closer,
as we coull tell from its calling, until
as we could tell from its calling, until
and shaking as 1t made its way
through It, We we're scarcely more
than twenty yards from the edge Of
the cane, our positions about seventy
yards apart, and from the way the
turkey was coming it looked as IL
it would come out into the glade ex-
actly between us. But II took one
OF those strange freaks So common
with turkeys, and, when almost out
of the cane, turned to the left, to-
ward my position, and, still keeping
out OF sight in the protecting mass
OF cane circled toward me. On it
came until Just in front Of me and
then it stepped out into the open and
there was nothing left for me to do
but to bowl It over, although am
sincere to say felt bit guilty in
killing both the chances we had
secured that morning. my friend alone

THE STRENGTH OF AN EAGLE.

While cannot give any positive
proof OF how much bald eagle can
carry, I should suppose that he could
carry at least as much in proper.
ton to his weight as hawk or a
horned owl / have the recorded
weight of male bald eagle weighing
ni1e and one-quarter pounds and a
female weighing twelve pounds.
A horned owl will weigh from four
to five pounds, and have several
times known one to carry off large
house cat. One was very large
one and the owner told me he could
hear the cat cry as he was being
carried off. Now, any one who will
weigh a large house cat will find it
to weigh at least ten pounds.
have seen a goshawk carry off
a hen fully twice its own weight, and
| have taken from marsh hawk a
very large chicken which would weigh
more than twice what the hawk
would. The marsh hawk is one of
our weakest hawks, but he had car
ried this chicken over a quarter OF a
mile. My belief is that if a hawk
or horned owl can carry more than
twice it's weight (and know posi-
lively that they CAM that an eagle
could, if occasion required, do as
much in proportion to his weight,
which would be to carry eighteen

Once when an eagle, shot through
the body with a rifle ball, lay on its
back, upended long road skid and
dropped it on him. Before it reached
him he stretched up and caught it in
his claws and held it up the length
Of his legs above him. I walked up
on the skid and stood above him and
he easily held me and the skid, which

than twenty pounds. | took pains to

PLANTING TREES.

Buy trees from reliable sources,
and be content with those OF medium
size. A tree from five to ten feet in
height, If well grown and vigorous,
will usually outstrip larger ones in
a short time in this climate. Remove
a portion of the top, cut off all bruised
roots, and shorten the long ones, and
above all do not expose the roots to
the drying action of the sun and air;
keep them moist and well protected
at all times.
Plant in good soil and make the
hole for the tree deeper and wider
than is necessary to accommodate the
roots. Fill in the bottom OF the hole
with loose top soil and plant the tree
only little deeper tnan it STOOD in
the nursery row. Do not pack tine soil
too firmly about the roots, but see
that there are no air spaces left
among them. II is always better to
settle the soil with water il that is.
practicable After the trees are
planted, see that the soil is kept moist
Wi not wet. Indianapolis Nsas.
