Merger Of Three Railways.

The consolidation of the Frederick and
Middletown Railway Company, the Wash
ington, Frederick and Gettysburg Railway
Company and the jefferson and Braddock
Heights Railway Company was effected at
joint meeting of stockholders last Tues
day afternoon. when the three corporations
were merged into new company known
as the Frederick Railroad Company. The
meeting was held at the Court House,
Frederick City. and the consolidation was
made by unanimous vote. Practically
all the stock of the jefferson and Braddock
Heights Company and about twO-thirds of
that of the other two companies were rep
resented.
The new company was capitalized at
$l,500,000, of which $i,250000 is COM
mon stock and $250,000 is preferred. The
par value of the preferred stock is $50 a
share. All the bonds of the old companies
were retired and new bond issue to the
amount of $480,000, covering the entire
property, was made.
The consolidation of the three companies
is counted upon to make a strong company,
with ample means to make extensions
when conditions are favorable to extend
ing its lines. The first extension will prob
ably be made from Jefferson to Brunswick
survey over this route having already
been made. It is also in mind to extend
the Washington, Frederick and Gettysburg
road through Montgomery county to Wash
ineton, and north from Thurmont to Gettys-
burg by way of Emmittsburg. II is thought
that this is a step tOward the consolidating
of lines in Washington county and South
ern Pennsylvania and the formation of a
big trolley system to be operated by one
corporation. By the recent purchase of
about forty or more parcels of land in the
eastern section of Frederick City the Wash
ington. Frederick and Gettysburg road will
be continued from its present terminal on
East Fourth street, to intersect the FEEDER
lex and Middletown road on East Patrick
street.

Mr.. Upton Darby. one of the oldest resi-
dents of this county and man of many
splendid traits of character, died at the
home of his daughter Mrs. Charles H.
Nourse, in Jamestown, on Monday last,
aged 81 years. He is survived by three
sons and one daughter. They are Messrs.
Frank and Upton C. Darby. of Williams
port, Md, Ernest Darby, of Seneca, this
county, and Mrs. Charles H. Nourse.
Mr. Darby was throughout his long life
one of the leading business men of his
community. and conducted prosperous en-
terprises for many years, among others the
well-known grist mill at Seneca. He was
a man highly esteemed for his integrity
and general WORTH and a conscientious
and devoted churchman.
Being a Republican. he was in former
years prominent in the councils of his
party, and at various times was candi-
date for important county offices. always
receiving fiattering support, especially
in the local community where he lived and
was best known.
Mr.. Darby leaves to his family and
friends the record of life well spent in
the faithful pursuit of all the duties of a
noble citizenship.

Mr.. j. Abby Henderson. member-elect of
the House of Delegates from this county,
is candidate for Speaker of the House.
In recent interview he said
II have had no previous legislative ex-
perience, but am quite sure of my desire
for honesty and the public welfare and |
feel equally sure with some study and ad-
vice | could qualify for the position as
quickly as any other probable member. |
have practiced law here 16 years and have
been Auditor of the Circuit Court and do
not think any reasonable criticisms can
be made of my conduct as a lawyer and
officer of the court.
in regard to the proposed public utili-
ties commission it seems to be generally
conceded that the plan is a good one, and
cannot see how any corporation could
have sufficient reason to justify its being
exempted from the authority of the COM
mission.
"And as to increased representation for
Baltimore city, think it would be no more
than fair to double the present representa-
ton of the city in both branches of the
Legislature. And think good plan for
this, If it is feasible, would be to give each
legislative district in the city two Senators
and to count the vote Of each delegate
from the city as two and give him double
pay. The advantages of this plan appear
to me to be very apparent"

To Those Interested in ST. Mary's
Catholic Cemeteries.

AS 1909 is fast drawing to close and
the election of officers for the ensuing year
takes place on the first Sunday in January,
1910, the management of the st. Marys
Cemetery Association hereby extends a
cordial invitation to all who are interested
to inspect the two cemeteries and to sig
nifty their interest and approval by being
present at the aforementioned meeting,
when any suggestions or advice they may
offer as to the future management of the
cemeteries will be most gratefully received
and carefully considered.
| 1t is only by comparison that we can ap-
preciate things at their true value, and we
feel sure that those who will take the
trouble to compare the present condition
of the cemeteries with their appearance
three years ago, when the association was
first organized, cannot fail to approve of
the result Not only have the cemeteries
been thoroughly cleaned, graded and sown
in grass but they have been considerably
beautified by the addition of trees, flowers
and shrubs. Taking into consideration the
few persons who have shown any great
amount of interest and the conspicuous
lack of funds, we may well feel proud of
what has been accomplished.
We take this occasion to express our
thanks and appreciation to those who
have shown an especial interest in the
work, and we venture to express the hope
that in the future the example of these
gentlemen will be emulated by Others
To Mr.. Charles Lochte we are indebted
for the building of the bridge near the en-
trance to the lower cemetery, and to Mr..
Jacob Poss for the stone for the work; to
Mr.. Lee Offutt for putting in a crop of
grass, and to Messrs. Fields and West for
the use of necessary machinery.
Although in work of this character in
terest and cooperation are very necessary,
portance, and that is money. At the pre-
sent writing we have only $27 in our
treasury, and up to date only eighteen
members have paid their dues and forty
lot holders their lot tax
In view of the fact that it is utterly inn
possible to carry on the work without funds,
we most urgently request those who are in
arrears for lot tax and membership dues
to come forward and pay before the next
meeting, so we can start the New Year
with no delinquent names on our books.

St Mary's Cemetery Association.

Alaska a Farm Country.

How successful Alaska farming can be
is demonstrated in an exhibition of pota-
toes, cabbages, beets, turnips, carrots, pars-
nips and cereal products grown up there
and placed on exhibition in room 1900 of
the City Investing Building, 1865 Broadway.
says the New York Sum- This exhibit in
cludes the greater part of the first agricul-
tural exhibit ever held in Alaska, last
September at Fairbanks, in the Tananah
Valley. Fairbanks is practically in the
center of the great Alaskan territory. Its
latitude is about IS degrees, and it is less
than degrees south of the Arctic Circle
The exhibit will be revelation to those
who have believed that Alaska is, for the
greater part of the year, a land of snow
and ice, and whose productivity is chiefly
confined to the amount of gold, copper and
other ores which may be brought up from
the interior of the earth.
These farm products were shipped six
weeks ago from St. Michaels to the offices
of the Copper River Valley Railroad, now
being built by the Guggenheim interests in
Alaska. The intention is to extend the
road through the rich Tananah Valley, and
Stephen Birch, representing the company.
recently returned to New York after several
weeks of inspection through the Tananah
Valley and other parts of Alaska.
Il was surprised" he said, recently, lat
the fertility of the country. Owing to the
high prices of vegetables, which have had
to be brought into Alaska at great expense
from Seattle, the miners are beginning to
till their land, and the results have been
surprising, to say the least"
The truth of Mr.. Birch's statement is
well borne out by the agricultural display
There are over three bushels of potatoes
from dozen different farms which are
operated by Alaska miners. If these same
potatoes were grown anywhere in New
England the farmer would be figuring out
his profits and would expect prizes to come
his way in the local fairs. Everyone would
make a square meal for the average man.
The largest weigh three pounds and are
from 8 to 10 inches long. Then there are
turnips, long rows of them, every one be-
ing larger than a mans head. One enor-
nous cabbage head would fit comfortably
the top of bushel basket The beets are
larger than the ordinary householder can
buy at the corner grocer's The possibili-
ties of Alaska as sugar beet producing
country are shown by the exhibit. The
mangels, those huge beets fed to cattle.
are nearly as big as the cabbages. Carrots
and parsnips look as though they had come
from some highly cultivated farm.
But the Alaskan tiller of the soil is not
combining his attention to vegetables. He
is grain producer, and samples of wheat,
oats, barley. timothy and red top hay in
dictate that the millions of acres available
for cultivation in the Tananah Valley may
in the near future rival the grain lands of
the West. Some of the oats, the Finnish
black variety. apparently being the popu-
lar kind for Alaska, grow nearly as high as
a mans head
