The National PIKE.

One thing is sure-that all legislation,
national and State, affecting the Nation
al Pike, has contemplated its building
and maintenance as a trans-continental
highway as far as that ideal could be
cOnsummated.
Indeed, as early as 1897 the project
was mooted as "The Gateway to the
West, " and five years later, when Ohio
was admitted as a State, 1t was pro-
vided that per cent. of the proceeds
of public land sales should be appropri-
ated to the construction of a through
highway from east to west.
This furnished a precedent for similar
provisions in the Acts admitting Indi-
ana, Illinois and Missouri.
Construction began in 1871 and ten
years later it was opened to travel, land
for thirteen years it was a National
highway, the States having no control
whatever.
In 1884 the government turned it
over to the States upon condition that
it could be reclaimed if, for any reason.
the government should require it.
The States through which the high
way passes have, therefore, been 1.-THE
trustees of an express trust "a trust
which, in Maryland, has been wofully
neglected, if not abused.
This history is briefly recitedNby the
Journal with the hope that it may help
to impress those in highway authority
with a sense of official obligation to re-
store the road to its ancient prestige as
America first model highway bond of
union between the east and thelwest.
More than this, perhaps, the material
needs of both through travel and local
traffic demand this at hundreds of
places. No community suffers from
the advertising it gains from location
on a much-traveled route, and all com
munities are benefciaries of easy access
from their industrial environment.
If the National Pike were restored to
FEASIBILITY, not Frostburg alone, but
there isn't town on its entire length,
no matter how prosperous, whose pros
perity would not be further promoted.
1t was correctly stated at the Cum

FIRST TEST Of FIRE
FIGHTING APPARATUS
Was Successful When a Blaze at the
Naylor Building Was Extinguished.

Oakland's recently installed fire fight
ing apparatus had its first real test last
Thursday afternoon about three o'clock
when a passer-by noticed fire on the
roof of the three-story building owned
by Mr.. A. D. Naylor and located on
Liberty street.
With the first alarm a large crowd
gathered in remarkably few moments
and in less than two minutes thereafter
the hose reel was on the ground, con-
nections had been made with the fire
hydrant at the Presbyterian church
corner and a stream of water was play
ing upon the fire which was out in less
time than it takes to relate it. e
The pressure of water was surprising
to many, the force being sufficient to
send the stream clear over the roof and
upon the roof of the Frantz Hotel
which adjoins the building owned by
Mr. Naylor.
Very little damage, aside from burn
ing place about ten feet square
through the roof, resulted from the
fire.

berland meeting that the primary de-
sign Of the Road Commission Act was
to build through highways" one of
which everybody understood to be re-
building the long Maryland stretch of
the National Pike.
Taking its cue from this conception,
the Road Directory of Allegany county
determined to make good" locally by
building a road from Westernport up
the creek, crossing the pike at Frost
burg, to Mt. Savage, and, connecting
with the pike above Cumberland,
achieve a model through route all the
way through the most populous portions
of the county from the western to the
eastern limit.
With this as a platform at least one
candidate for Director was elected last
year, furnishing incontestable proof of
what the people understood, felt and
intended to promote.
But the State has gone back" on
them. The State has failed to cooper
ate. as promised. The National Pike
has had to surrender its first paramount
turn at the call of cross-road squeaks,
whose building policy puts on the roof
before the foundation is laid.
In consequence, the eastbound tourist
debouches north or south before he
reaches Garrett county, and the Garrett
county farmer must go to markets al
ready crowded.
The situation is one which calls for
strenuous popular action, especially in
this county. Frostburg Journal.

SCHOOL AFFAIRS INVESTI-
Gated BY DR.. STEPHENS
The State Superintendent. Who Arri-
we'd Here tuesday Morning.

DR.. M. Bates Stephens, State Super
intendent Of Education, dropped into
Oakland unexpectedly and unannounced
Tuesday morning and spent the day in
vestigating school conditions as they eX-
ist in the two Oakland schools, but of
course he gave no public expression as
to his conclusions nor intimation what
his report to the State Board would be.
There is a general feeling prevailing,
however, that DR.. Stephens thoroughly
acquainted himself with every phase of
the question which brought HIM to Gar
rett county and that his report and
recommendations to the State Board
will be satisfactory to the people at
large.
While Dr. Stephens did not state in
so many words that he had been direct
ed to come here by Governor Crothers
and quietly investigate school matters,
the belief prevails that he was sent by
the executive in response to a petition
signed by about sixty school patrons
addressed to the Governor and forward
ed to him last Thursday night in which
a demand was made for the removal Of
the present County Superintendent,
coupled with the request that d member
of the State Board be directed to come
here and investigate conditions and
thus acquaint himself with affairs as
they exist,
1t was evident last Friday that the
school board had become acquainted
with the movement, as school was ad-
journed at noon and during the rest of
that day and all day Saturday superhu-
man efforts were made in changing the
furniture in the two buildings, improv-
ing the sanitation and cleaning up gen
orally, so that when Mr. Stephens did
arrive conditions were very much i'm
proved and bettered.
The result of Mr.. Stephens visit to
Oakland is awaited with much interest
by the general public.

BRlINARD /. WARNER, JR.,
IN OAKLAND LAST NIGHT
Was Here to Arrange for an Aggres-

Mr.. Brainard H. Warner, Jr., Repub-
lican nominee for Congress, was in
Oakland yesterday afternoon and even
ing, returning east on train No II which
left here at $50 o'clock
Mr.. Warner came here primarily to
confer with the Republican committee
and workers in the party, when the
campaign, which will begin on Monday
evening with meeting to be held at
Accident will be inaugurated.
Mr.. Warmers visit to Garrett county
was delayed owing to slight attack of
appendicitis which he suffered two
weeks ago and from the effects of
which he has not yet fully recovered.
He is aggressive, however, and the
campaign planned for the ensuing
weeks throughout the district will
carry him into almost every section of
the five counties composing it. He eX-
presses himself as satisfied with pre-
vailing conditions in other counties and
is very much encouraged by the out
look especially in Allegany county
which Mr.. Warner visited prior to COM
ing to Oakland

COUNTY AGRICULT URAL 50,
CIETYFORMALLY LAUNCHED
At Meeting Of Citizens Held at the
Court House Saturday.

On last Saturday afternoon a public
meeting was held in the Court House in
the interest of the organization of 1.-The
Farmers Fair Corporation, " of Garrett
county, a charter for which has been
obtained.
For some time an organization of this
kind has been talked of for our county,
and the time now seems ripe for carry
ing out the project. Messrs. M. A. Jol-
life, S. R. Nuzum and Earl Smith, of
Fairmont, w. Va, who are ready to
give their experience and financial sup
port, were present to encourage the
movement.
The charter states that "the objects
and purposes for which the corporation
is formed, are the promotion of farming
interests and all agricultural and horti-
cultural pursuits, including the improve
ment of stock, horses, cattle, sheep,
hogs and all other domestic animals and
fowls, to induce farmers to use the
most improved machinery, and to use
the best seeds for planting and sowing,
etc; to provide a fair ground and equip
it with all necessary buildings and fix
lures, and to make it suitable for hold
ing a County Agricultural fair or fairs
in Garrett county, Maryland. The total
amount of Capital Stock of said Cor
poration is Twenty-Five Thousand Dol
lars, divided into twenty-five Hundred
Shares of the par value of Ten Dollars
each. -
The charter provides for board of
seven directors to be elected by the
cumulative voting plan, which practi-
cally insures representation upon the
board by any particular interest or sec
ton.
All of the speakers were enthusiastic
in their endorsement of the movement
and spoke confidently of the success
that might be expected when our farm
ers take hold of the plan and give their
subscription to the stock and promises
of cooperation.
1t is desired to have all farmers join
the association and subscribe for one or
more shares of stock, thus creating a
general and widespread interest.
With this end in view a committee
was named with Lieut.. E. S. West as
chairman to solicit stock subscriptions.
Let any one who will subscribe send
their names to Lieut.. E. S. West, Oak
land, Md, with promises of aid and en-
enlargement.

Preston County Seat Removal Fight

A kingwood paper has the following:
We have a good corps of shysters al
ready to work this county for county
seat removal, but we need 100 more of
the meanest scamps at once.
The best men for dirty work are the
men ready to do it. All applicants
must furnish satisfactory evidence of
necessary qualifications.
Big pay for the right parties. No
one need expect job unless he con-
forms to the following:
He must be member of the leading
church in the community where he re-
sides. He must appear pious and be
able to make fiowery prayer but he
must be ready and willing at all times
to take any advantage that would bring
him nickel. He must possess sham
modesty to such a degree that he can
blush at the slightest hint. He must
be able to have fit at any time he
hears an oath where any of his church
members are. On the other hand he
must be vulgar enough to shame
brother and swear in such way that a
boat captain would die of envy.
To be plain. we want hypocrites who
will not hesitate to commit any outrage
so long as they are paid for it. Decent
men need not apply.

TWO MORE DEATHS BY
ACCIDENTS ON RAILROAD
An American and an italian Killed
Former at Hutton, Lateral DeerPark.

By reason of the great number of
men employed along the line of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad in this sec
ton many serious and fatal accidents
have occurred during the past two or
three months.
Last Thursday night Harry M. Shat
fer, aged twenty-nine years, a resident
of Susquehanna, Pa, employed as an
engineer by F. H. Clements & Co., at
Hutton, who are engaged in doing
heavy construction work on the B. &; O.,
was struck and killed in Fifty-eight Cut
by eastbOund passenger train No. r.
The man was returning to his boarding
place, having but few minutes before
left the company of some of his fellow
workers. His body was terribly mangled
and was unrecognizable, the only means
of identification being some papers
found upon the remains after they had
been brought to Oakland and given in
charge Of Mr.. D. E. Bolden, the under
taker, who prepared the body for burial
and shipped it to his former home where
he leaves a widow and two children.
Another fatal accident was that which
occurred near Deer Park Monday even
ing when an Italian, Ereollo Bellofore,
aged about twenty years, was struck by
a freight train as he was crossing the
track in front Of it, his death ensuing a
short time afterward. The interment
of his remains was made in the Catho-
lie cemetery in Oakland after services
were conducted in the church Yesterday
morning by Rev. James Z. Connell
which were attended by upwards of
fifty Italian fellow workers of the de-
ceased.

amounting to $50. Shortly after the
trade was contaminated Mr.. Smouse
