WILL ADHERE TO RULEs RIGlDLY
No B. q o. Empioye hustsBe Seen in
Saloon.

There is no let up in the prohibition
measures, introduced recently by Vice
President G. L. Potter, with regard to
B. & O. employees, especially trainmen.
drinking on or off duty.
Notwithstanding the fxed7 rule that
the use of intoxicants is absolutely for
hidden, and repeated warnings that have
been given from time toi,time, several
employees have been either suspended or
dropped from the service}slnce the new
year.
To illustrate what determined stand
the company has taken in this direction.
several local men weres.in Baltimore
within the past week, makingEan effort
to secure reinstatement in the service.
While awaiting an audience Ewith Vice
President Potter inssthe anti-rooms in
the general office, s.they were asked by
the clerk II 1t was ''whiskey case. -
eff yours is SUCH" said the clerk.
you might as we'll not waste time. but
leave the office, as Mr.. PotteIwill under
no circumstances, reopen such case.
now or ever.
A prominent local official in recent.
talk with trainmen, taken out of the
service for alleged drinking. is said to
have stated: Any man who works for
the B. & o. and goes into a saloon
leaves his job on the outside, which can
be picked up by better man, and thus
he runs chances of losing it when he
comes out of the door to take. it up
again"
The reason that so many Cumberland
division men have been sufferers of the
antidrink edict is that it is SAID to have
become noised on other divisions that
no punishment wasameted out to men
on this division for drinking and to re-
flute this assertion....is 1.-THE intention of
the local management to discharge men
wherever found guiltylof an infraction
of the company rules in this respect.

Elect "Wet" Councilmen.

The election at Fairmont. w. Va,
resulted in the choosing of a wet"
council. The license question was not
voted on directly but the councilmen
favoring license had a majority over
those opposed to license of $50. The
issue was made on the attitude of the
councilmanic candidates on the ques-
ton. The following were elected: City
clerk, f. E. Carskadon, Republican;
council, Z. w. Morgan, Republican; A.
d. Simon, Democrat; C. Powell, Demo-
crat; J. r. Linn, Republican, and Geo.
Brand, Republican. With the hold
overs the Republicans haYe a majority
of two in the council. Carl Riggs,
Democratic candidate for council in the
fifth ward, withdrew at the last mo-
ment and qualified as a commissioner
of election, leaving the Democrats with
out candidate. The first ward voted
dry as did the fifth, while the second,
third and fourth voted wet The new
council will likely vote for the issuing
of license. Fairmont has been "dry'
for the past year.
Point Pleasant, W. Va, elected the
entire wet" ticket by large MAORI
ties.

MAPLE SUGAR
The Great Staple of Garrett and Som.
erSet Counties.

The Garrett county maple sugar pro-
duct is one of its most important inter-
ests, equal to some Gifts cereal products.
This has been the best season for many
years and is still on. Last year was
quite failure. Sugar seasons are
something like fruit seasons, alternated
by good and poor ones. The seasons
usually begin in February but March is
the chief month. 1t can not yet be
known what the amount of the product
will be this season, but quite large
with high prices to the makers, about
10 cents at home.
The largest manufacturer in the coun-
ty is MIR. Ralph Engle, one of its most
prominent citizens. He has two camps,
as they are called, near each other.
His product this season can not yet be
known, but it will run to the ton meas
urement. The sugar king, so called, is
Elijah Livengood, on the Pennsylvania
side of the line, with two camps, one in
Maryland and the other in Pennsylvania
near each other.
The best known producers in Garrett
county are j. j. Beachy, U. Stanton, J.
Gnagey, the Boucher camp, w. H..
Swauger, the old Brown camp, with
many others not recalled. The process,
which has been much improved in
late years, of making maple sugar
might be given, but it would require
space and patience of readers. The
labor is still difficult, and tedious, but
not so laborious and heavy as in past
years.
The sugar zone in Garrett county lies
chiefly between Meadow and Negro
mountains, with a width of 3 or 4 miles,
but many more in length, extending far
into Somerset county, Pennsylvania
This territory includes fine farms and
lands thickly populated. SO the own
ers are doubly blessed. 1t can be stat
ed that sugar trees are to be found only
IN mountain regions and cold climates,
and not in warm climates.

To EXTEND c. & D. CANAL
To THE OHIO RIVER
Waterways Commission Take Up the
Subject.

A broad and comprehensive plan of
dealing with important subject with
which it has been charged by Governor
Crothers was decided upon Wednesday
by the Commission on Waterways and
Canals, which met in the morning in the
State board rooms of the Union Trust
Building. If the plans made by the
commission are carried to a successful
fruition they will mean much to the
people of the State The governor is
greatly pleased with manner in which
the commission has taken up the work
assigned it. and believes it will produce
important results.
AT the meeting there were present
State Senator Lewis NJ. Milbourne, of
Somerset county (chairman); Mr. Ezra
B. Whitman, secretery; Mr.. S. A Will
liams and Mr.. Frank H. Zouck 1t was
decided to proceed along six lines
The divisions made by the commission
and upon which it is to work are as fol-
lows:
First-The extension of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio canal to join the Ohio
river, Maryland to cooperate and COM
bine in carrying out this work with
other Interested States, such as Virginia,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio,
and possibly the Federal government.
Second-The possibility of regulating
railroad rates and controlling railroad
discrimination by the development of
the natural and artificial waterways of
of the State as avenues of commerce to
compete with the railroads.
Third-The control of the develop
ment of the water power of the State
IN such manner as to serve the inter-
ests of the greatest number of people
and at the same time increase the rev.
enues of the State.
= Fourth-The sanitary control of all
streams and water ways by the State,
especially those streams and WATERWAYS
used as a source of water supply and
also those waterways from which she'll
fish are taken.
4 Fifth-The drainage of all swamp
dnds bordering on streams or water
ways which are now useless areas.
Sixth-lnvestigation of irrigation
possibilities for Maryland.
Mr.. Whitman, secretary of the COM
mission, has been directed to secure all
data concerning the six divisions of the
subject possible. Each with separately,
and the indications are that the report
of the commission to the governor will
recommend the introduction of at least
five bills at the next session of the Leg
islature.

Found Fish in Tank.

While working about an engine tank
in the local yards. Brakeman John Lee
noticed fish swimming about in the
tank and he got into the tank and sue
ceeded in catching it. The fish was
gold fish about seven inches in length
and weighing about half pound.
Mr.. Lee brought the fish up to the
Central Drug Store of Harry d. Com
erford, where it was placed in a glass
punch bowl. 1t is supposed that it was
drawn through the pipes when very
small and got into the tank probably at
Oakland, Md, where there are MANY
fish of a like nature in the streams.
The fish makes very pretty ornament.

THE Neutrality-suspicious. THURSDa
MOON AND MARS
CAUSE ECLIPSE
Salt Lake Residents, However,
Saw but Little of the
Phenomenon.

While the moon stood tip-tOe on the
mountain ridge last night there broke in
on its circular outer rim, reddish shafts
of light as though ruby had been set
IN the ring of the moon. Presently when
pale Isis had spurned the last dim noun
tain outline and had lifted fairly into the
heavens, the ruby cast loose and revealed
itself the great planet Mars riding just
without the circle, its red golden flame
softened by the pale astral light of the
lunar body. And all through the clear
night the mistress of the heavens and
the great golden star rode side by side
across the sky like the staT-dOgged moon
of the Ancient Mariner" the space be-
tween them increasing gradually.
1t was the eclipse of the planet Mars
and the moon, a phenomenon not likely
to be repeated in the ordinary lifetime.
Unfortunately Salt Lake lay without the
regions in which the eclipse was entirely
visible so that those who watched from
here saw only the latter part of the
eclipse. The mountains and the differ
ence in eastern and western time con-
spired TO make the rising of the moon al
most two hours later than the time set
for the entering of the planet into the
moon s shadow.

DIRECTORS WILL
ATTEND IN BODY
Members of Utah State Fair
Association Will Go to
Ogden.

The board of directors of the Utah State
Fair association decided at a meeting held
last night at the Chamber of Commerce
to attend in a body the opening of the
Four state fair at Ogden, Monday morn
ing at 10 O'Clock.
The directors expressed themselves as
being heartily in accord with the object
Of the big fair at ogden and they viii
do everything in their power to make il
a grand success.
The success of the Four State fair, SO
they maintain, will mean added success
to the Inland Empire exposition in this
city in October. Secretary Horace En-
sign stated that it is the object of the
board to induce, if possible, the various
counties of the state to hold county fairs
and to make as good exhibits as the prod
uctS of the counties Justify.
After successful county fairs have been
held 1t is not hard to induce the board of
directors of the various county fairs to
enter their exhibits in competition at the
state fair.
In addition to discussing the coming
Four State fair and deciding to go TO Og-
den in a body at its opening. the board
disposed Of a number of matters of rOu-
tine business.
The executive committee Of the board
will meet today to discuss the matter of
letting concessions at the Inland Empire
exposition.

Twenty-Five members Of the prep and

each had gained two pounds The boys
went to the farm on the o'clock train.
At a small station enroute they all
weighed on a large market scale. Their

At the farm they soon disposed of three

started home. On their way home they
again weighed at the market scale, and
then their combined weight was 2110. a

Brilliant and Beautiful.

But even more brilliant and beautiful
was the conclusion Of the eclipse, which
required no instrument other than the
naked eye, nor any szy-lOre beyond that
possessed by the ordinary layman to ad %
mire the sight. The two heavenly parties
to the scene were notably in evidence, the
planet appearing for and away more lu-
minOus than any of its sister stars.
All over the country astronomers
viewed and photographed the eclipse
which was an unusually advantageous
one for purposes Of scientific Observa-
ton. But the professors had no great ad-
vantage over the layman, who without
any instrument was able in most of the
eastern sections Of the country to see the
night lUmlnary sweep across the bright
shining big planet, which has been con-
spicuOus in the sky these last few nights
The next astronomical event will be an
eclipse of Saturn by the moon. Sept. q,
which will probably be visible from this
latitude.
No attempt to take observations of last
nights eclipse was made by those in
charge Of the local weather bureau owing
to the fact that only the after appear
ances were visible here.
