YACHT SINKS SCHOONER
MayflOwer Cuts Vessel Almost in Two
in Collision in Dense Fog.
FORTUNATELY NOBODY IS INJURED
Executive Was Asleep and Knew
Nothing OF the Accident-Makes
Address Before Naval War College
and Appeals for Strong Navy.

NEWPORT, r. l., July %. The
PRESIDENTS yacht Mayfower, with the
President on board, in dense fog last
night ran into and sank the lumber
laden schooner Menawa.
All on board the schooner, consisting
of the captain and five men, were taken
on board the Mayfower.
The Presidents yacht had her bow
spirit and one anchor carried away, but
the jar of the collision was so slight
that none of the Presidents party knew
of the accident until they arose this
morning.
The Menawa belonged to C. G. Pen
dleton of Isleboro, Maine.
The collision occurred at about l. 10 a.
M, when the Mayhower was between
New London and New Haven.
AS soon as the Mayhower arrived here
the following dispatch was sent:
Newport, r. l., July %, 1908.
To Hon. William Loeb, jr., Secretary
to the President, Oyster Bay:
The President and party arrived at
Newport at 10 o clock The Mayhower
was in collision with schooner last night
about l. Is O'Clock. No one was injured.
Everybody aboard schooner rescued.
The President was informed and knew
nothing about it until he got up this
morning. J. L. MCGRAW.
A full investigation has been ordered
of the collision. Captain Hutchinson of
the schooner said, The collision was
not my fault. The weather was misty
with rain and fog had the lookout
on duty when the Mayfower struck us

~. broke the foremost. | guess the
schooner is drifting about the Sound
/ somewhere. - 1t is likely suit will be
started against the Government for the
loss of the schooner and cargo
The President had kind word for the
shipwrecked crew and Captain Hutch
inson thanked him far his interest and
kindness in providing funds for the
crew to reach their homes.
This forenoon, at the Naval War Col
lege the President addressed confer
ence of nearly 100 naval officers, repre-
senting all branches of the service, to
consider plans for new American battle
ships.
President Roosevelt made a stirring
appeal for hard-hitting navy, limiting
strongly at the possibility of war with
Japan.

Automobile Went Over the Baak.

On Monday afternoon at A O'Clock a
large white touring automobile car,
while en-route from Deer Park, Md, to
New York, with full party aboard and
while making the turn on the Blooming
ton road, just above Luke Md, at a
high cliff, went over the bank. The
brake refused to work at the proper
time and the machine went over the
bank and would have plunged into the
Potomac River had it not been for a
large tree, against which it lodged
The machine was an entire wreck and
before it can be used again will have to
be sent to the factory and rebuilt. 1t
was narrow escape for the occupants,
and they only saved their lives by jump
ing out. Piedmont Independent.

To the Editor Of The Republican,:
noticed in your issue Of July ?, that
the engineer sent to make survey and
take measurements relative to the sup
ply Of water for the town Of Oakland
report that there is not sufficient water
flowing from Gordon spring to guaran-
tee full and constant supply Of water.
This, no doubt, is true. as it is and
always has been, a wet weather spring,
affected by the condition of the wealth
er. But up to he left of the mountain
from Gordon spring there are several
fine springs of water. One of these
raises a stream of water as thick as
a mans body, six feet above the sur
face. 1t is cool and clear as crystal,
flowing through white sand and gravel,
and evidently comes from very de
secretion, as it is very cold and not af-
fected by the weather in the least.
This and the other springs form the
headwaters of Trout Run 1t has never
been known that Trout Run has dried
up, owing to the fact that the above
springs are not all wet weather springs.
And, as old Mr.. Swan, the county sur
veyor, has said, and it is true, that this
is the water supply for all this part of
the country.
The several springs are now connect
ed to one large reservoir containing five
million gallons of water, built between
two mountain sides. The dam of which
is twenty-five feet thick, with con-
crete core of four feet through the
center. A ridge is built around the
pool to keep out any of the surface
drainage. A fence will be built all
around it to keep out any animals,
thereby assuring pool Of pure, fresh
water at all times.
This reservoir of water has an alti-
tude of two hundred and eighty feet
above the street level in front of Offutt
& Sons stOreroom, and ffty-one and
seven-tenths feet above Mrs. Billiard 5
porch. This shows plenty of pressure
for the entire town of Oakland and Just
nineteen thousand feet from the Dor
ough line of Oakland to said pool or
reservoir of pure water
think it would be advisable for our
water committee to investigate this
supply of water for our town.

FOR ROAD SUPERVISOR.
TAX Payer" Wants An Experienced
Man Named for the Office.
0 the Editor of The Republican.

To the Editor of The Republican.
fla note of this kind is not little too
discordant, we would like to speak a
word in behalf of much maligned pub
lie official, viz: the Road Supervisor.
As rule we hear nothing but adverse
criticism of his attempts to repair the
public highway, and we are aware that
In many instances the same is deserved,
for we cannot shut our eyes to the fact
that through intfticicncy or some ching
worse, ON the part OF our road officials,
much of the money appropriated for the
Improvement Of the highways is wasted.
However this is not the ease in many
instances, as all know, and | was both
surprised and gratifed the other day
when it was my privilege to drive over
the road leading from Oakland to Hut
ton to find the splendid condition in
which it had been put by MIR. ?. H.
Rodeheayer, the present Road Super
visor.
For several years past this road has
been in deplorable condl ion, and tax
ing this fact into consideration and the
limited amount of money at Mr.. Rode
heavens disposal for this purpose
(about $40 per mile it is nothing less
than remarkable that he could have
made the road as good as it now is. 1t
can hardly be considered a first class
automobile road yet, but as we do not
own an automobile, and never expect
to, and have no desire to do so, we are
not particular about getting the road
up to that point of perfection.
However, the work on this road marks
Mr. Rodeheaver as an honest and capa-
bic official, and the right man in the
right place, and if not a little too early,
we will anticipate the nomination con-
vention and now name him as our choice
for General Road Supervisor for Dis
trict No. a.
TAX PAYER.

WORK ON COURT HOUSE
ROOF SUSPENDED.
Some misunderstanding As to Materi-
al Used is The Cause.
WORK WILL BE RESUMED SHORTLY
Plans Call for Slate Covering and Tin
Was Being Put On-Court House
Commission Will Be in Session
To-day.

Yesterday morning workman engag-
ed in putting on the roof of Garrett
county's new court house were ordered
to discontinue work until the commits
sion having in charge the erection of
the building could be called to-
gether and the kind of material to be
used in its construction was settled.
From what can be learned the plans
and specifications adopted by the com
mission when the contract was award
ed called for a slate roof. For some
reason YET unexplained the contractor
was using tin for the covering and at
present has about one-fourth of the
roof on.
County Commissioner Asa B. Friend.
who is one of the Court House Commits
sion, came to Oakland on Tuesday and
when his attention was called to the
fact that tin was being used he and
some other members of the commission
objected and the work was stopped.
To-day the entire commission. the
architect and the contractor will meet
in Oakland and the matter will be alb
justed.
In connection with the building there
is petition being circulated and numer-
ously signed praying the commission to
have the interior finish Of hardwood, IN
stead of soft wood and painted white as
specified in the contract.

His Visit to Florida.

To the Editor Of the Republican:
note with much pleasure that you
found space in the columns of your 4lu-
able paper for my letter last week,
therefore | am pleased to write further
of Oakland, Florida The owners of a
large acreage of land, who were public
spirited men, seeing the competition Of
railroad from Sanford to Tampa, do
mated to the mayor and city council Of
Oakland, Florida, one square mile Of
land for city, running up to the lake
and on both sides of the railroad, Law
ing it out in city blocks, leaving a large
part in the center with streets 80 feet
wide. 1t seemed to the people for some
time after the removal of the railroad
shops that large town on this beauti-
full lake had been spoiled; but it now
looks to many of the business men of
the communit, very hopeful. Married
men are coming, buying property, pay
ing high prices and erecting costly resi-
dences. There is land under cultivation
on the lake front that could not be had
for one thousand dollars per acre, The
writer was told that one farmer last
year cleared between seven and eight
thousand dollars on cucumbers alone,
and | had the pleasure of visiting a
farm on which there was planted q
acres of cucumber seed, and many
other farms of less acreage.
There is, too, considerable talk of the
opening of a water way from some
where on the St. Johns to the Gulf via
lake "Apopka" and several large
lakes, which, if there is anything in the
proposition, would make the central
and west ortion of Florida, equal, if
not superior, to the east coast in impor-
lance for fruit and vegetable growing.
The altitude at Oakland is 300 feet
above the ocean, and the lay of the
country around about is ideal for health
fitness and the water of excellent quail
lty. Taking all these advantages into
account Oakland is one among the best
locations for winter resort in the state.
Capital and push would bring good
things, to central and western Florida.
A word for the good people of Oak
land and vicinity. To say the least
about them, they are truly Americana
ed, ev.n if some of them are of the
"Mother Country" They are a social,
generous, kind-hearted and deeply
religious people--doing unto others as
they would have others do unto them.
Orlando is the county seat of Orange
county, and is about Is miles from Oak
land by good clay road, and much fur
Their by rail by the way of Sanford. 1t
has a population of 1,500. The San
Juan hotel is commodious and convent
ent in its arrangements, and is always
well filled with winter guests. There
are also several large boarding houses.
The town has several large livery sta
bles, well stocked with fine horses, that
are hired to tourists for pleasant drives
on good clay roads. There are two
banks doing good and safe business.
This little city is surrounded by thir-
teen lakes, among which is the beauti-
full Lake Lucern, the shores of which
are beautifed on all sides by commodious
residences.
