ToFtSt survey Vi AIlcSdHy county.
f. W. Besley, the State Forester, with
two assistants is mapping and classify
ing the woodlands of the county and
collecting dota as to forest conditions
and resources.
Mr.. Besley says "Allegany has the
largest proportion of woodland in any
county of the State, and its timber re-
sources are one of the most valuable
items i'll its list of assets.
''Wasteful cutting and destructive
fires have so depleted the forests that
few people think there is much hope of
another good stand of timber.
The natural conditions of growth,
however, are good, and if fires are kept
out and little judlcious thinning done
at the proper time, a good second crop
can be assured.
Timber is advancing in price and no
one who owns woodlands can afford to
let them remain unproductive when a
little care will bring profitable returns. y"
While in the county the State Forester
will examine woodlands on request and
advise owners without charge as to their
proper management.
His field headquarters are here in the
town of Frostburg.

An Examine,

In the Homecoming council proceed
lngs, reported by the star, occurs this
paragraph:
Mayor Thompson stated that it would
soon be time to do little more street paw
ing and suggested that the clerk be instructed
to write the different brick companies for
quotations on 10000 block bricks A mo-
ton to this effect was made by councilman
Nlcol and seconded by councilman Robert
son. So ordered.
Doesn't seem to go very far at a time,
but the plan appears all right.
The tax rate i'll Homecoming is only %
cents on 500; otherwise, probably
more improvements could be made by
instalments. As it is, the entire town
can be paved eventually.

James H. Tenant, of the "Independ-

In the Elks game Thursday j. H.

4 New Road Book.

G. +. Brandt, of Cumberland has
issued a book of 1O6 pages entitled
Road Locating and Building Simpli-
fed IA work III text and arrangement
designed-not for the general reader
alone, but 'for use i'll the common
schools Its a series OF vital questions
which occur to every thoughtful publicist
and of answers which convey conviction
to every honest mind.
Zone thousand copies have been
issued" he says, land if that number of
people who want good roads, and want
them soon as possible, would each buy a
copy, the author would have that much
more money-S1 900, to push along his
work of practical reform i'll road i'm
provement, location and building
Moreover, with the correct argument,
method and procedure i'll their minds
and hands, there would be at least 1000
people to assist him in promoting the
good work
Here is question youth might reH-
sOnably ask and an answer sage, with
oceans of history to back him up, might
truthfully answer:
Has there ever been much road money
wasted?
Ignorance and awkwardncSs have caused
the practical waste of fully half the road
funds appropriated in the United States.

Real Estate Movements.

Friday of last week w. f. G.. Hitch

purchase of Vogtman's Park from John
Vogtman, and will at once make some
re-adjustments which will slightly
change its boundaries. On the end near

and laid out in town lots. The same
number of feet will be added to the Park
on the other, or north western end.
The net size of Park will be 500 feet

be an attractive resort for picnics and
other outdoor parties.

that the colored voting population, for
once, has to choose between two evils

to do for peaceable sovereign State.

Frost burg o.. o o o o o . o o o. -


Arrangements have been perfected
for the Midland team to play here to-
day Saturday. July 25th. Townsend
and Sloan will be the battery for Frost
burg, Robertson and McKeldon for
Midland.
The game will begin at o'clock p.
M. sharp, and will be sure-enough
contest 1.-The fur assure to fly Mid
land is just now leading all the county
clubs for first honOrs, and the team that
wins from them will have to play the
very best ball.
McKeldon, better known as Happy
Jack" has been injecting ginger i'll the
arteries of the Midland team and as
coacher he is \ No. L. He proceeds on
the principle that Midland baseball was
Snake-bit with enHui, and as ginger is
a specific tonic for that base ball failing,
he administers it without stint. With
out Happy Jack" therefore. Dick
Merryman and Tom Stakem both think
that DR.. Carpenter wouldn't have a
team.
Manager Spates will have few new
faces on his team, as he deems it wise to
strengthen the out-tield
1t is hoped the crowd will be large
The ladies, bless their hearts, are es-
peclally invited to grace the affair with
their presence.
Saturday, August 1st the home team
will go to Midland for a return game,
and on Saturday, August Sth, Lonacon-
ing will be here.
Negotiations are on with Meyersdale
for game here Saturday, August 18th,
and 'Dick Merryman' 5 strong aggrega-
ton from Carlos will be entertained
with game, possibly next week
Dick" has a team that is worthy of at
tention i'll every department; is nicely
uniformed, well equipped and backed
by every male and female, big and little,
in the sprightly town of Carlos. Even
the Mayor and Council are behind them,
and when this game comes off it will be
worth anyone's while to get out to the
Park and see it, as it will be an interest
ing contest.
The Frostburg twirers are just now
in fine fettle, and from now ON they
should win at least - per- cent. of their
games. If they can do this they are
sure to WIN first honors and land on top
of the heap at the end of the season.
KENO.
"Merryman's Go-Rounds, l." of Carlos,
will go to Meyersdale, Pa, this (Satur-
day. afternoon for game, and "Keno,"
who is an Irishman, says "Meyersdale,
which is Dutch, better look a leedle
oud."
INCIDENTS.
George H. Miller, who witnesses all
games from his wagon on Park avenue,
was a loser last Saturday. He wagered
a Rocky Ford cantaloupe against dime
on FrOstburg.
Last word, Frostburg Look at your
score-line with Midland. Then some
one offer this:
ReSolrcd Collectively and Individually,
that we will not get "rattled at any stage of
the game, especially during the three first
innings.
Next adopt the resolution unanimous
ly and make it, like the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Charter, an enactment
that even you, yourselves, cannot repeal
At this stage the record is:

Without designing to anticipate the
Broadway discussion due on the 27th
inst, the best proposition available
under the antique irritation system is
ascertain the lowest cost for the entire
job of grading, curbing, ditching and
paving, have the town do the work uni
formly and charge the property owners
with two.thirds of the cost.
A better plan is-throw up the Union
street movement, and adopt the present

for retaliation.

&c Crisisn at Columi;,;s.

For The second week Of his special en-
gagement az the COlum bia Theater,
James X Hackett VIII present a revival
Of Winston ChUrchilTs play Of the Civil
War period. The Crisis which was
originally produced by him a few years
ago It will now be revived with the
same care Of detail and mOuntings with
which it was first produced, Mr. Hackett
appearing in the role which he created.
There have been war plays and plays OF
war. but it is generally said that The
Crisis was the first to accurately sor-
tray in permanent stage form the true
conception OF the emotions and ideals of
that period. Mes plays dealing with
the civil war may be mounted in the
costumes and period OF any other coun-
try; not so with The Crisis" which is
said TO follow the American struggle so
inherently that il cannot be transplanted
into any cher period of history
