HOTEL COMPANY WANTS
TRAINS To STOP SUNDAYS
Inter- State Commerce Commission
Asked to Order Innovation for
Mt. Lake.

The Loeb Lynn Construction Company
of Garrett county, Md, brought SUIT
against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
to compel the company to stop all pas
senger trains at Mountain Lake Park
on Sunday and evidence in the case was
taken Monday at Farmont. w. Va,
before Mr.. Mccormick of Washington,
D. c., representative of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. The case
involves the right of a railroad company
for consideration to contract with one
party by which the rights and privileges
of another company are alleged to be
taken away. Testimony was offered by
the plaintiff, the defendant and the
Mountain Lake Park Association. 1t
was shown in the testimony that the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
several years ago entered into a con-
tract with the Mountain Lake Park AS,
ISOLATION that in consideration of strip
of land at Mountain Lake Park to be
used for railroad purposes, the railroad
company would never stop any Sunday
trains at Mountain Lake Park, which
i reig Gus community.
The Loeb Lynn Construction Com
pany, which owns large hotel Just
across the railroad tracks opposite
Mountain Lake Park claims that its
patronage is impaired by reason of the
inability of persons to get in and out
/ of Mountain Lake Park on Sunday. 1t
claims that the refusal of the railroad
company to stop trains there is dis
elimination against the Loeb Lynn Com
pany in favor of Oakland and Deer
Park, at which places summer hotels
are also conducted and the alleged dis
elimination is in violation of the law Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
which makes public carriers serve alike.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany practically agreed that the conten-
ton of the Loeb Lynn Company is right
and made no serions objection to the
stopping of trains on Sunday, but the
Mountain Lake Park Association, wish
ing to maintain quiet religions COM
munity on Sunday insists that the con-
tract be carried out. a mass of testi-
mony was taken which shows that the
plaintiff was injured by the failure Of
the railroad company to stop Sunday
trains
G. NJ. Alexander, attorney, appeared
ed for the plaintiff and Judge Elliott OF
Baltimore, for the Mountain Lake Park
Association. The railroad company was
also represented by counsel. The case
will come up for hearing before the
commission in November. Among
those who testified We're Mr. R. T. Cum
ningham and Mrs. B. c. List for the
Loeb Lynn Company and Dr. w. w.
Davis, superintendent, for the Noun
tain Lake Park Association, The ques-
ton is regarded as novel one and the
like of which has probably never been
before the commission.

The SUN AND NEGRO DOMINATION

In an editorial which appeared in The
Baltimore Sun, September 20, 1895. the
Sun admitted that the cry of Negro
domination was simply a false alarm
raised by the Democratic bosses in or
der to save themselves. Said the Bal
timore Sun under the above date:
The low cunning of the bosses is
seen in their persistent attempt to
involve the honest Democrats of
Maryland in a revival of old war
issues, aud especially to play upon
whatever fears may linger in their
minds as TO the possible revival of
the question of race supremacy.
1t is an appeal latent to apprehen-
sions and anxieties which had good,
solid ground in a period that has
happily passed forever There is
no possibility of negro domination
in this State, nor that the negro
voters, who constitute only Is per
cent. of our total voting population,
can ever become ruling factor in
either our State or city govern
ment. Whatever vitality ay be
left in the race issue in States fur
Their South, where the relative
strength of the black vote to the
white vote is much greater, there
is none left in it in Maryland. No
one knows this better than German
and Rasin and the only object they
have in view in pretending to sound
the alarm against the possibility of
the aScendancy of the negro is to
try and save themselves by raising
false alarm against danger that
in no way threatens US.

Biggest Pay in Two Years.

The largest pay roll in the last two
years is what is claimed for the one
Saturday by the Clarksburg Fuel and
Fairmont Coal Companies, together
with the numerous independent COM
panies. The combined pay of the two
companies named was more than $780,
600 and that Of the Independent com
bined made the total reach almost
100000. The pay was for the month
of August, the busiest one in two years,
and the prospect is good for still buster
times.

THOSE GOOD ROADS

At the beginning of his career as chief
executive of the state, Governor Gro
Tiers announced with large degree of
impressiveness a scheme for construct
ing lgOod roads in the various counties
OF the state. In response to the Gov
ernor's recommendation, the legislature
which assembled in January, 1903, pass
ed state road law and authorized a
$4,000, 600 bonded loan to pay for the
roads. The Governor appointed road
commission, twith one of his personal
friends, residing in his own county. as
chairman Of the commission at an an
nual salary of 81 500 No great amount
of time was lost in getting the mana
gerial System in shape and the official
salaries agoing. But there does not seem
to have.been much else agoing except
the salaries. NEARLY two years have ex-
pred alphabetically nothing has been
accomplished in way .of road-building
under the new state law.
There has .sbeen large amount of
travelling up and down and going to and
fro bySlthe commission. An extensive
excursion was even made into other
states, nominallyss for the purpose of
gathering information both concerning
methods of construction sand ways and
means of -effecting economy in road
building. There was a general dispo-
sition to excuse the long drawn out de-
lay in beginning actual work, on the
theory that the Crothers commission
should be allowed time to obtain an edu-
cation. But when contracts We're in
vited, the bids sent in We're fanciful in
the high reach of the prices named for
doing the work. On the surface it
might not seem that the commission
is responsible for the boggle that has
arised in connection with the placing of
road building contracts. But there
must be something wrong in the mana
gerial system. some looseness or made
quacv of method to account for the fact
have been demanded under the auspices
of the Crothers commission than were
asked for under the older Shoemaker
law.
Surely road building upon a large
scale can be accomplished more economi-
cally that upon small scale. The ex-
penditure of So, 900, 600 in road construc-
ton is an item of sufficient magnitude
to attract ithe attention of the close
figuring of the pest equipped road build
ing companies. HAS the pernicious touch
of machine politics gotten into this
state road building scheme? That was
the danger which rejecting people fear
ed when the original Crothers PROPOSE
ton was announced. The original sug-
gestion was that the state. should build
the roads; that the commission which
the Governor would be empowered to
appoint under the law should have the
handling of the So, 900, 900 for direct dis
tribution. This would have opened the
door wide for the building of powerful
political machine byuse of the SIS, 900, 00C
road fund. After all. has practical"
politics crept into this road building
business? Why otherwise is there such
a continual boggle in the business?

The Epworth League is still alive and
doing effective work. a very protita-
bic convention was held at Mt Lake
Park in June, under the presidency of
J. B. Workman. In many country
places it is difficult to keep up an inter
est and even maintain permanent or
ganization. For this two reasons might
be assigned: First, the traditional idea
that things were not formerly done that
way, and second, a lack Of suitable lead
ership.

for $500 and will locate the
building on the back of these
lots. AS soon as this work is fin
ished Mr.. German intends erect

the street and at the same time
will remodel the present building
so as to make of it a commOdious
and nice appearing hotel having
about thirty rooms. He will
probably secure some good hotel
man later to operate it. The
new building will make quite an
improvement to this end of town.
and, with two good hotels run
ming, the travelling public should
certainly be well cared for in

Will Put Auto on Stage Run.

To ride back and forth from
Asotin to Lewiston, and from
Lewiston to Asotin, on a twelve
passenger automobile, is what
the people of Asotin, Lewiston
and Charleston will soon be privi-
legged to do, instead of sitting on
a jolting stage seat and enduring
the dust for from an hour and a
quarter to an hour and three
quarters, before the end of the
journey is reached. Henry
Diebel has sold a half interest in
his stage and mail carrying busi-
ness to Mr.. Oscar Moberg, a re-
cent arrival in Asotin from Cot
tonwood, and together these
gentlemen have ordered a large
twelve passenger steam automo-
bile from Cincinnati, Ohio, of the
white Steamer" type, and the
same is expected to reach Lewis
ton in fifteen days, when it will
Immediately go on the stage run,
and the stages that have so long
been conducted by Mr.. Diebel
will be cast to one side. The
time consumed in making the
trip between Asotin and Lewis
ton will be in the neighborhood
of thirty minutes, travelling just
fast enough to keep out of the
machines own dust. Three trips
per day will be made, and four if
necessary. Mr.. Diebel says he
has figured that at the present
price of feed, the expense of
keeping up eight head of horses,
besides two stages, was too much
of a burden. Distillate will be
the fuel used to furnish the pow
er, and when his machine is
standing still it will not be con-
suming a large quantity of feed.
This will be Asotin's first auto,
but look out from this time on.

the Knights of Columbus to raise
$500, 900 for an endowment fund
for the Catholic University of
America, at Washington, has
been given by Cardinal Gibbons,
who says that the plan also has

proximately 225, 900 it is expect
ed that the complete amount will
be raised within two years. The
assessment may be paid quarter

In return for this gift the order
will receive one free scholarship
for every $4,000. This will
place total of so scholarships in
the hands of the Knights.

PROMINENT
FARMER DIES
John SOnnen, of 0reencreek, Died
Very Suddenly Monday Morn
ing from a Bursted Blood Ves-
sci in the Brain.

Word was received here early
Monday morning of the death of
John Sonnen, a prominent and
prosperous Greencreek farmer,
early that morning. The de-
ceased was in the best of health
and his death came as a great
shock to his family and friends.
He was out shooting squirrels
the day before and went to bed
in the best of health and spirits
that night. About four o'clock
Monday morning he arose and,
on going back to bed, drew a
long breath and expired, his
death being almost instantaneous.
DR.. Shinnick was at once sum-
moned from this place and pro-
nounced death to have resulted
from the bursting of a blood ves-
sci in the brain.
The deceased was formerly a
resident of Uniontown, Wash.
for a number of years and later
came to Greencreek and settled
on a homestead at the time the
reservation opened. He pros
pered and built up a nice home
there and was one of the sub
stantial farmers of that prosper
GUS section when his death oc-
Cured.
He leaves a wife and seven
children, an aged mother, one
brother and four sisters to mourn
his untimely death. He was
about 40 years of age when he
died.
The funeral was held Tuesday
morning from the Greencreek
Catholic church and is said to
have been one of the largest ever
held there, nearly forty teams
forming the procession to the
cemetery.
The CHRONICLE joins the many
friends of the family in extend
ing sincere sympathy to them in
their great loss.
