To the Editor of The Republican
This morning the undersigned receiv-
ed from the Governor of this State noti-
tication of his appointment to "'Na-
tional Good Roads Congress" in Bati-
more, Maryland, the 18th, 10Th, Goth
and 21st of the present month.
AS similar notifications may reach
manv of our citizens will it not be help
full if you will this week more fully ex-
plain the purpose of such notification
or appointments?
1t may not be likely that the Garrett
farmer or citizen will be able to add i'm
portant support to the contemplated
proceedings, but that farmer or citizen
will have, perhaps, the opportunity of
his life to obtain the most advanced
ideas ascertalned by the best expert
ence and wisdom known to this subject
in the United States. If any part of
such information can be gathered and
brought home for dissemination it will
help to bring the conduct and method
of our road construction nearer abreast
nth those improvements today evolved
4 dpm modern thought and practice.

in Parkersburg from $500 to $1,000 a

some Of the saloon men, who are max

SHEEP OWNERS HAVE RECOURSE
Sections of the Sheep Law of 1908.
if Enforced, May Give Relief.

The recent publication in this paper
of news item stating that number of
sheep had been killed by dogs running
at large, has raised the question of a
more stringent sheep law for the cOun-
ty, many of the farmers and others in
terested in the sheep industry being I'M
der theimpression that no protection was
afforded the losers by the incursions of
dogs among their fiocks, when intact
law was enacted at the last session of
the Legislature affording protection to
every owner in the county, provided the
proper action is taken by the residents
of any district and the matter is proper
I ly taken before the Board of County
/ Commissioners.
For the benefit of the owners of sheep
we publish below the law introduced in
the Senate by Senator Brown on Feb
ruary 28th, 1908, which was later enact
ed:
1t shall be lawful to kill any dog seen
running sheep in Garrett County. and
owners Of dogs shall be liable for all
sheep killed or injured by them, and any
person seeing such dogs running at
large may lawfully kill the same.
The Board of County Commissioners
of Garrett County, upon the petition Of
taxpayers, if they select, shall have
power to levy tax or license fee upon
dogs and bitches owned, kept. or harbOr-
ed within their county, and to provide
for the enrolment of said dogs and
bitches, designating the officer or Off
GERS to do the same, and they may deSig
nate the time and manner of collecting
the tax or license fee, and appoint the
officer or officers to make such collec-
ton or enrolment, end may require
them to give bond; and upon the pc
tition in writing of the taxpayers of any
one election district the County Com
missioners, if they see fit, shall have
power to levy an amount upon the taxa
bic basis Of the district so petitioning,
which amount shall be applied in that
district only to reimburse the owners of
sheep or lambs residing in said district
for all sheep or lambs injured or killed
by dogs, at fiat rate of three dollars
per head; provided, that this payment
shall not be made when the ownership
of the dog which did such killing can be
proved. The County Commissioners are
hereby authorized to make all rules and
regulations covering the custody and
disbursement of this special fund.

The Oakland Normal School is max
ing an effort and is achieving great sue
cess under a splendid faculty. The
enrolment has increased steadily until
we now have about eighty Prof
Palmer teaches arithmetic, mental,
geography, physiology and English his
tory. Prof Dewitt has charge of
algebra, geometry, grammar, general
history and United States history.
About one-ffth of the number are old
teachers and a great many are high
school studenet.
An interesting part of the work is the
afternoon lectures which will be deliv-
cred this week on Thursday afternoon
instead of on Friday, as usual.
Prof Matthews, of Cambridge, de-
livered a series of lectures last week
upon Birds and Flowers, which were
interesting and instructive.
1t is doubtful if the citizens of Oak
land will ever have the opportunity of
hearing such man again. 1t is a de-
plorable fact that the people of our
town prefer to see and hear maudlin
circuses and performing monkeys rather
than a scientist S lectures.

Of a grocery store at 5000 Chestnut

and vehicle gone Both had vanished
as mysteriously as The winds.
In reporting the matter TO the po-
lice over the phone last night, Ricn-
mond was sure that he had remained
in the house fer only a few mo-
ments. and was equally as certain
that the horse had been driven of by
some one.
According to the opinion of the sta
ZION keeper as advanced on the mys-
terious case last night. the horse must
have been a near descendant of IA
NOUS racing Stock to have made such
a quick get away, whether under the
lash OF a human hand or in obedience
TO a passing fancy of its mind.
The surrounding fields and byways
were hunted without success and at
an early hour this morning no report
of the finding of the missing rig and
its motive power had been made.
While the owner is sure that the
animal was stolen, the police think
II simply strayed eff into the nearby
pines to Craze or take little rest.
