Mr.. BROWN TELLS OF
SNOW IN 1886.
Gives Interesting "reminiscences of
Weather Freaks in the
Distant Past.

To the Editor of The Republican,:
The recent eight inch snow, followed
by an almost zero temperature, is still
a subject of much interest and COM
ment. Aged persons are being asked
whether anything like that has hereto
fore occurred here so early in the sea-
son. Opinions of course do not agree.
| for one can say truthfully and know
ingIy, no such cold snap has occurred
in this region within the last half CEN
fury or more. There are those here
who remember the deep snow fall on or
about May 4, 1861, the beginning of the
Civil war. That snow was as deep or
deeper than the last one, but very soft.
The trees were in full leaf and the wet
snow chung to the limbs and leaves so as
to break many small limbs and cause
them to drop upon the sidewalks and
streets. But the sn2w melted rapidly
without any harm whatever to vegeta-
ton.
Still another snow freak. This one
occurred in what is now Garrett county
early in the fall of 1896. The fall was
not less than foot in depth and was of
a wet kind. The late apples were yet
upon the trees. A little incident oc-
CURED to cause me never to forget it.
A good mother had in her orchard
favorite apple tree in full bearing.
She was afraid her apple butter fruit
would be frozen and her large kettle
would not haye it's annual fill. Her only
home boy at the time was urged to
climb the tree to shake down the en-
dangered fruit to prevent it from freez-
ing. The work was willingly done and
many bushels of suitable apples became
buried in the deep snow, which melted
away rapidly without harm to the fruit
or anything else.
Two years ago in October there was
a very heavy freeze in the mountains.
The fall apples were still on the trees
in large quantities. Thousands of
bushels were frozen on the trees. That
was record breaker.

MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK.

Mr.. H B. Lewis and family and his
son Andrew and family have gone to
Piedmont to conduct restaurant and
lodging house. They will return to the
Park the first of June and again open
the Columbian Hotel for the season.
Mr.. J. M. Jacobs of Fairmont, w.
Va, was at the Park Tuesday.
Supt. Davis Wednesday gave the
force working at the ice plant turkey
dinner. The dinner was prepared and
served at the Long cottage near the
lake.
Today at 10. 80 clock union Thanks
giving service will be held in the M. E.
church. The sermon will likely be
preached by Rev. Hudson of the Bap-
fist church.
There are living in the bounds of the
Park about sixty-fve families. These,
together with families outside corpora
ton but quite near, mot including Loeb
Lynn gives US population of about
three hundred and fifty. The popula-
ton of Loeb Lynn is about three hun
bred.
1t is said that water will not run up
hill, but it surely does if the item in one
of the Oakland papers of recent date
be correst, in which the altitude of Oak
land was given as several feet higher
than that of Mountain Lake Park. 1t
is bad enough for Loeb Lynn to claim to
be ION higher ground than the Park,
but when it comes to Oakland, located
two miles lower on the Raging Yough"
claiming such distinction it is carrying
the joke entirely too far. The villages
of Oakland and Loeb Lynn should not
put on so many frills. 1t will be more
becoming after they grow up"

TAFT, NOT CANNON.

The Baltimore Sun of Monday has
this headline to an able editorial: 1.-The
Republican Party in Congress Should
Lineup Behind Judge Taft Rather Than
Behind Cannon" 1t will be remem-
bered that the Sun, though the leading
Democratic newspaper in Maryland,
vigorously championed the cause of
Judge Taft. 1t now continues to give
him support in carrying out the promise
made in the platform upon which he
was elected. That promise was: "The
Republican party declares unequivocally
for revision of the tariff by a special
session of Congress Immediately follow
ing the Inauguration of the next Presi-
dent"
The Sun in common with many good
citizens has no confidence in Speaker
Cannon AS tandpatter" and
leader of the congressional "standpat-
ters," he is feared by those in favor of
tariff revision, and therefore the apt
ness of the Suns editorial headline. In
conclusion the Sun says:
''Mr. Taft showed his courage and
sincerity during the campaign, and the
country has good ground for believing
that he will do everything in his power
to carry out the promises of his plat
form in letter and in spirit. He appears
to represent all that is best in the Re-
publican party, and his victory was the
victory not only of his own party, but
of many thousands OF Independent and
Democratic voters also. If it comes to
a battle between him and Mr.. Cannon,
the Republican party in Congress and
the country at large would make stu
pendous blunder not to line up behind
Mr.. Taft and enable him to redeem the
pledges of the party platform. Mr..
Taft seems to be thoroughly in earnest,
and if Speaker Cannon refuses to CO.
operate with him, his party will do a
wise as well as patriotic thing in re-
ducing Cannon to the ranks and putting
forward man imbued with the spirit
and purpose of the new administration. 4"

JUDGE TAFT denies that he has ar
ranged his cabinet or offered cabinet
places to anybody. The newspapers
have been a trifle hasty with the new
president. They represent President
Roosevelt as framing Mr.. Taft's poll
cies they have been selecting his cabinet
for him, and they are telling the public
that congress will go ahead and revise
the tariff without much regard for his
recommendations. Thus when he be-
comes president his occupation will be
gone, and he will be mere figurehead

WILL BE A TEST CASE.
Mrs. Cuneo Wants to Enter an Auto

New York. Jan. 1t.-Thc question of
the status % women in motoring sport
is t, be brought up by the race for
stock cars in Westminster. n. y. This
is because a woman of whose ability
as q driver there is no question is seek
ing to be a competitor for the Briar-
cliff cup. She is Mrs. Joan Ounce, wife
of Andrew y. Cueno. the New York
banker. Mrs. Cunco has competed in Il
number of events on both track and
road, has driven in two Glidden tours,
and repeatedly demonstrated her abil-
ity to handle a high-pOwcr car in COM
petition with men.
Mrs. Cuneo has recently bought a
A. 5O-norScpower car. and has notified
T. +. Moore of her intention of enter
ing the Westminster race. Mr.. Moore
told her that personally he would be
glad to see her compete. but that he
could not speak for the committee. and
there was no telling how it will decide
on the application. 1t is known that
there will be opposition in the COM
nittec to accepting the entry of a wo-
man. but Mrs. Ounce is in earnest and
will not be easily rebuffed. She has
strong arguments in favor of her being
allowed TO race. and the question bids
fair 10 be sort of test case
Mrs. Ounce claims a right to recog-
milton on the ground of having been in
other races and proven her ability. She
argues that they have women racers in
Europe, ana that there is no lust rea-
son Why she should not be allowed TO
compete here
