Inasmuch as the project for issuing

Quoted here and at different parts Of
the west has just come from the
printer. 1t is expected the formulation
OF the report will soon be taken up.
The committee found that the work had
been undertaken on a huge scale, in fact
that too many projects had been under
taken, In view of the money available.
Criticism Of Committee.
To quote from a report of the commit
tee. recently made:
1T was found by the department that
too many projects had been undertaken
to enable the department to prosecute the
work on each and all with vigor and
economy when compelled to rely on cur
rent receipts from the sale Of public lands
and repayment by water users
1t has been generally understood that
the Senate committee on irrigation felt
that it was helping out the reclamation

of certificates of Indebtedness to enable
the service to complete without DELAY the
projects commenced.
1t now seems that some OF the men,
bers of the Senate committee are nettled
by the action OF Director Newell in prac-
tically opposing the issue Of the certifi-
Gates. When they come to write the re-
port they will not be careful to pass over
easily those things with which they
found fault in the work of the reclama-

Grantsville Men Sell Timber Land.

Charles H. Bill, of Grantsvllle, made
a trip to Confluence where he succeeded
in closing the sale of 1S5 acres of good
timber near Bear creek, in Garrett
county. Md, belonging to himself and
Squire Peter Nathan, of Grantsyille, to
E. Vansickle, of Ursina. Messrs. Bill
& Nathan have have just finished saw
ing tract of timber near the one they
sold. They yet have on hand $4,000
feet of sawed lumber. After this is
disposed of, Mr.. and Mrs. Bill will start
for the Pacific coast on a pleasure trip.
Mr.. Bill who was one of the editors
most intimate boyhood chums, called at

that have existed for more than 80 years.

located at Racine, Wis. where he ac-
cumulated a comfortable fortune in the
shoe business, after which he returned
to his native village to enjoy life amid
the friends and scenes of his youth.
Should he decide to locate in the west
again, Grantsville will lose one of its
most affable and popular citizens. How
ever, he has interests and kindred ties
at Grantsville that will probably serve
to hold him there for years to come. So

1t is little use for the local editor to
waste his lungs and sprain his spine in
trying to boom a town when the citizens
all stand around with their hands in
Their pockets and indifrerently wait for
something to turn up. If the capital
lists or business men do not put their
shoulders to the wheel and do a little
boosting it is useless for the editor to
try to boom things. He can write
boom articles till be gets bald headed,
but if the citizens themselves do not
take hold and push, the town will for
ever stick in the mud OF what use is
it for the local paper to suggest i'm
provements and new enterprises if the
suggestions are never acted upon? One
man cannot boom a town. 1t requires
the concerted action of the citizens.
When one man shoulders a town and
attempts to carry in there are always
lot of cranky kickers ready to jump on
top of the load. Unity of action is
what counts. Mooreield Examiner.

been particularly unfortunate recently
in the number of disastrous wrecks
which have occurred in this vicinity. as
one wreck is hardly cleared up before
another occurs. Saturday night two
mishaps took place, the first on the
SevenJeen-mile Grade when Fl
freight cars were piled up on account
of a broken axle under one Of the cars.
This was followed by a sidewipe be-
tween two freight trains at Mt. Lake
Park, which fortunately was not of a
serious nature. In neither were any of
the railroad employees hurt, although
narrow escape was experienced by
brakeman on the grade wreck who had
to run over the tops of four or five cars
before he got out of the danger zone
