while spruce, white pine, chestnut, oak,
maple, beech and Eastwood furnish the
remainder. The principal manufactured
product is lumber, and with it large
quantities Of lath shingles and barrels
are produced.
The object of the large companies is
to cut and market as rapidly as possible
all the material on their tracts. The
mills are located on streams and the
logs are brought from the woods over
logging railroads. In one case the haul
is oyer - miles. The mills are connect
ed with the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road by means Of spurs, and load their
product for shipment direct from the
yards.
The sgall mills do not run steadily,
and the quality of lumber produced is
generally poor. Their cut is mainly
hardwood and is, in many instances,
from culled forest or small isolated
bodies of fair timber The logs are
brought to the mills by teams and the
manufactured lumber is hauled by wag-
ons to shipping points. A few small
mills are making soft-wood shingles,
but find it difficult to obtain material
for continuous run"
According to the census of 1900 there
were l, 7S8 farms in the county, the es-
timated value of which, in 1903. was
about S4,67l, 500, and the total assessed
value of property in the county amount
ed to S., 6l2, 488.
Garrett has good facilities for reach
ing the markets of the East and West,
being traversed by the main line of the
! Baltimore and Ohio Railroad from east
to west. The Western Maryland Rail
road follows the Potomac River along
| the southeastern boundary of the coun-
1 ty. The Confluence and Oakland Rail
road runs from Confluence, Pa, to
Krug, and Jennings Brothers railroad
from the Baltimore and Ohio, at West
Salisbury, up the Castleman Valley to a
point near Bittinger. The old National
turnpike traverses the northern part of
the county from east to west.
On account of the vast amount of
humus in the soil in the "glades," the
land is of great value for producing such
crops as require moist and cool climate.
There is great opportunity for truck
farming in Garrett county, as well as
the raising of stock. Dairying could be
protitably engaged in. Land is plenti-
full and can be bought cheap, say from
S. to $40 per acre, and as the county
offers considerable advantages for the
raising of fruits, berries and vegetables,
these industries could be profitably en-
gagged in. Oakland being but II hours
from New York, and less to Baltimore
and Washington, the mountain fruits
and vegetables could be easily trans
ported at profitable prices to these
markets.
The tax rate of the county for 1908
was Sl.06 per hundred.
There are l40 white schools in the
county.
Only in Oakland is the sale of intoxi-
eating liquor permitted in this county.
Oakland is the county seat, with a
population of 1900. Deer Park, Noun
tain Lake Park, Grantsville and Loeb
Lynn Heights are other Incorporated
towns.
Other towns in the county not incor-
porated are Accident, New Germany,
Bittinger, Friendsville, Swanton.

LEFT ON her DOORSTEP
FOR THIS MOTHER

Mrs. A. G. Tuson, of Lvermore, Cal,
writes: II picked up from my door.
step one day little book in which I
soon became very much interested.
My little girl of five years Of age had
been troubled for long time with
loss of appetite, extreme nervousness
and undue fatigue. She was all run.
down and in very delicate condition.
This little book was very compre-
hensively written, and told Of the new
method of extracting the medicinal ele-
ments of the Gods liver from the oil,
eliminating the obnoxious oil which Is
so hard for children to take.
"Just the thing said I, for my little
daughter and Immediately went for
a bottle Of Vinol. 1t helped her won
derfully. She has gained rapidly in
flesh and strength, and she does not
take cold half so easily.
81 am extremely grateful for the
good 1t has done her, and hope other
mothers who have weak, delicate or
ailing children will be benefited by my
experience and just give Vinol trial."

A Successful Farmers New Enterprise.
The Belair Agis of last week said: "Mr.
Joseph B. Twining. near Upper Cross Roads,
who is always taking his section by surprise
by the extent and importance Of his enter
prises. has enlisted in the business of rearing
high grade and heavy draft horses, believing
that they offer especial attractions at this time
For some years the business was much me-
elected and now the price of heavy draft AMI
mails is out of proportion to that OF other
grades. Besides, the heavy horse is ready to
nut onto the market at full price when about
four years old, whereas the light draft horse
must be kept about two years longer and de-
mands much skillful handling.
"Mr. Twining has recently bought from the
estate of the late Mr.. Blackstone, of Baltimore
county three imported mares, Alice de Bossiere'
three years old, weighing ,25O pounds; Col
ombre, four years DID, weighing 1850 POUNDS
and Berthe de Bulant, three years old, weigh
ing $50 pounds, all standard and registered,
and the two former have colts by their SIDES
"Vainqueur, Jr., a magnificent young Bel
gian, heads his stable, and besides the indl-
yiduals mentioned he has eight colts OF vari'
Gus ages now growing on his farms.
"Mr. Twining does everything on large
scale that be lays bis hand to, and it is likely
that his present line will become one OF tht
most important features of his immens'
business"

Important Changes in Northern Central
Passenger Schedule. Pennsylvania
Railroad has announced that all trains leaving
Sparrow's Point for Baltimore would no longer
make a stop at Calvert Station, but go direct
to Union Station, General Agent Latrobe, of
the Pennsylvania, has repeatedly stated that
Calvert Station would not be abandoned as a
passenger depot. This has not yet been done,
but the latest action looks peculiar, says the
Baltimore american.
The trains that have been taken away from
Calvert Station are all trains going from or to
Sparrow's Point, together with one train in
and out to Cockeysville and three trains out
and three trains to Parkton. These will now
stop at Union Station only. People living in
Green Spring Valley who were accustomed to
come down on any Of these trains and get OF
in the heart of the city will be landed at Union
Station and must take the street cars down
town.
There are still a few trains that go into Cal
vert Station and, of course, since that is the
case it has not been abandoned The railroad
considers that the number of trains that they
have left for Calvert street are adequate for the
demand. If they are not the travelling publ public
can get on street car and go to Union Station
| The mere taking of train from station to
| send them to another does not signify at all
| that the former is being abandoned; this is 9
| fine distinction that the ordinary people can
| not grasp You can starve yourself by having
your stomach removed. or you can simply
| shut down on your meal service. One method
may attain the desired end little sooner, but
| the other gets there just the same.
| One OF the changes brought about by the
| new order of things is sort of unifcatiOn o.
the Green Spring Valley and Sparrow's Poin
| lines. Some of the trains coming into Unior
| Station from Green Spring Valley will not con
tinue on to Sparrow's Point and some of thu
| trains from Sparrow's Point will continue GU
to Green Spring Valley after brief stop
| Union Station.

Decoration day was appropriately observed
in this community and the soldiers graves
were strewn with flowers. This custom seems
now to have grown to be almost general one
and many families remember their departed
ones with floral offerings on these occasions.
The country presents q most charming APP
pearance at this time. The flowers are bloom
ing profusely and the many neatly kept lawns
are always delight to the eye. The fields also
present a most attractive appearance.
