A Good lest.

After ten weeks OF travelling, Miss
Blanche Stuart Scott, of Rochester, N. Y,
has successfully ended her 520O-mile
croSS-t the continent automobile journey,
from New York to San Francisco. This
plucky young woman left New York city
in May, accompanied only by woman
companion, and determined TO make the
Journey hitherto attempted only by sea-
Soned motorists in specially equipped
cars. Miss Scott deserves much COM
mendation for the successful way in which
she handled her OVERLAND runabout on
this long journey. The only mishap was
a broken spring leaf, caused by crossing
bridge from which several planks were
missing. Miss Scott did not try TO make
a speed record. From seventy-five to
200 miles completed her daily schedule.
As far as Denver she followed the beaten
automobile path. After that, however,
she struck out across the Red desert and
the Great American desert, depending on
the ability OF her little car TO pull her
through. She crossed Medicine Butte,
one of the highest ranges in America, at
midnight. She was lost for whole day
on the desert. In the east her path was
beSet by constant rains and storms. In
the west she had to contend with the
sitting heat OF the deserts, where no rain
has fallen since last February. And Miss
Scott is not a nervous wreck. Her SUM-
Drowned face beams with health and
vigor. 1t is very evident that her $500
mile automobile journey has not made an
invalid of her. She says she has DEM
onstrated how very easy it is for a woman
in the right car. Philadelphia North
American.
This great feat only goes to show the
great reliability and endurance ofthiS car.
If you are interested in one like il write
VIM B. Snyder. Shepherdstown, who
will quote prices for you and demonstrate
this great automobile to you.

Council Proceedings.
H. 6. HAITHCOX,
Pastor Loci.


The town council met in its regular
monthly session last Monday night at
100 p. m. The chairman OF the light
committee reported that at the time no
definite settlement had been made with
the electric light company. The follow
ing is report of the special committee
on waterworks;
Gentlemen Your committee on wa
terworkS have discovered upon having
the necessary legal qualifications placed
in shape to submit the question to the
voters that under existing State law that
we are only permitted to issue bonds to
the extent of two and onehalf percent OF
the taxable basis, and under that law il
will be impossible, unless special action
of the legislature is sought and obtained,
for lis to issue bonds for this purpose at
this time in sufficient amount TO cover
the expenditure of installing complete
water system in ShepherdStown. There
fore we recommend that the matter be
II
postponed at this time and committee be
discharged. Respectfully submitted, U.
S. Martin, F. L. Weltzheimer, J. L. We'll
ShanS
The report was accepted and the COM
mittee was discharged. The mayor as
chairman of special committee reported
in regard to the work yet to be done by
the Norfolk & Western Railroad on Ger
man street. On motion ii was ordered
that the n. & w. be notified to place and
maintain Waterman at the Washington
street crossing, and that they be notified
to complete the grading and crossings
destroyed and made necessary on Ger
man street by their new grades.
A number of outstanding bills were or
dered paid, among which was the bill Of
the Westinghouse Home Electric Com
pany for the work done and testing ofthe
town meter. The council then adjourned

Communicated.

Editor The Register: For the benefit OF
this community ! think some protest
should be made publicly against the meth
cd now prevailing with some OF the coun-
ty road supervisors OF throwing up sew
eral inches OF dirt on the top OF a sub
stantial pike. If the drainwayS are to be
cleaned, why in the name OF common
sense should not the dirt and loose stone
be thrown to one side. Instead OF this,
it is tossed out in the middle OF the pike
where it makes thick and sitting dust
in dry weather and lot Of sticky mud
above the macadam in wet weather, most
OF it finally washing away all over the
road or else to the bottom OF the hill.
In some parts OF the country man who
did this or permitted it to be done would
be arrested and fined for iniuring or OBJ
Structing a public highway. Jefferson
county roads are a credit to its people
and government. Why ruin them by a
bit OF latter day stupidity possibly through
lack OF instruction to the ditch cleaners ?

Death Loves a Shining Mark.

1t is with great regret that we publish
the death of Enoch Howard Hill, son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert T. Hill, who reside
Just north OF town. His death followed
an operation for appendicitis in DR.. Ven
ning's hospital in Charles Town last Mon
day evening. II was found that he also
had peritonitis and from the first it was
seen that he had very small chance oil
life. His death occurred Tuesday
morning about half-past ten. He had
been sick for week or more and it was
thought to be nothing serious, but he
grew rapidly worse and DR.. Banks was
called in last Saturday and did all in his
power to relieve him, advising an I'M
mediate operation. On Monday after
noon he was taken to Charles Town and
the operation was performed. The case
had gone so far that there was no hope
for his recovery. His father was with
him until the last and tried TO bear him
up in the struggle with the inevitable.
The lad, who was eleven years old, was
bright little fellow, favorite with his
playmates and loved by all who knew
him, and he will be mourned by great
number offriends. His grief stricken par
ents have the sympathy ofthe entire COM
munity in this their greatest sorrow.
The funeral took place this morning in
the Lutheran church, and the body was
laid to rest in Elmwood cemetery.

No waterworks for shepherdstown ?

No Waterworks for Shepherdstown ?
During the past few months the subject
of waterworks for Shepherdstown has
been greatly agitated and the special COM
mittee from the council has been active
in procuring estimates OF the probable
cost OF such plant. Much interest has
been aroused and the prospect was very
bright. The estimated cost of the plant
was about $4,000 and the town would
undoubtedly have issued bonds to that
amount Under a recent enactment Of
the State Legislature no corporation can
issue bonds and borrow money in excess
OF two and a-half per cent OF the total
valuation of the property in the town.
ShepherdStown' valuation is about $780,,
600 and the already outstanding debt cuts
down the amount that could be legally
borrowed to about 5000. This sum is
not half enough TO install system OF
waterworks here and the council realized
hat for the present nothing could he done
and the matter has been postponed. The
one way out, and it seems TO be the only
way, is by a special enactment OF the
legislature, which would. IN the case Of
ShepherdStown. allow them TO issue bonds
to the required amount. This would
mean very great delay, for the legisla-
ture does not meet until next winter and
the measure would require great deal OF
hard work to geti safely through. Then
there is the possibility OF the legislature
refusing TO take exception TO the law re-
IDENTITY passed, so it looks as though we
may have to be very persistent in order
to have our much desired improvement.
In the meanwhile there is nothing TO
do but wait for developments. Prior TO
this the rate for bond issue was per
cent, and under the old law we would
have had no difficulty. We hope that
the town authorities will do their best to
devise a plan whereby the town may Sc
cure good, dependable system OF wa
terWorkS.

An Open Letter From The Village
Improvement Society.

When we realize that so many OF the
towns and villages throughout the United
States have had "Home ComingS" we
don't want ShepherdStown TO be back
ward on the list. SO lets join hands and
give our little town its chance for growth
and development. LetuS become arous-
ed and realize that we must must be part
of the general movement which makes
towards the success of the "Home COM
ing" Let every one feel themselves
personally and preSSingly invited and in
terested in our 'Home Coming" week.
We want every man, woman and child
outside OF our town to feel that the invi-
tation also includes them.
But only those who have been present
at the meetings of the "Village Improve
meat Society" I'VE would like to add a
new name to Our list every day can rea-
lie just what the undertaking means. 1t
means the "Home Coming" atmosphere.
And there is only one way to get tive
must have the cooperation OF every citi-
zen, and little more money to help pay
the necessary expenses. And unless we
can raise it, right here is one OF the shoals
upon which the success of the undertak-
ing may ground.
First, as has been said we must have
the cooperation and individual interest
OF each and every citizen.
Second, we must have little money
to carry on cur work and continue or
plans or we will have TO let the wheels
of progress slow down.
How are we going to get II ? Ask for
It. Ask for as much or as little as one
can spare. Ask the merchants to donate
the hotels both OF which will benefit by
the influx Of visitors.
What we want to do is 10 make OF our
"Home Coming" aSuccesS and show thai
Shepherdstown is determined to forge
ahead. We are sure it is in the power oil
our people TO help us with the financial
requirements OF the week And if they
can't give money give help, sympathy and
enthusiasm.
Right now LET us begin to clean house
remember, the appearance OF our town is
vastly significant and will mean much TO
our visitors, some OF whom will have
come long journeys and can orly remem-
Der Shepherdstown in its swaddling
clothes. Don't let these things seem tri-
val-start right in; sally forth, determined
to show clean streets sanitary houses, ar
tistic conditions, in short, help the town
with an environment, where it no long
er needs sympathy, but can shine on
grandly with its own achievements.
There is another thing this reunion will
do. Behind the Home Coming will be
the "Home Feeling" the spirit OF COM
mon interest, common ambition and help
fulness. Ii will form a strong bond oil
fellowship between the citizens, each
working as they are toward the broaden,
ing and uplifting OF their "Home Town"
And remember this also, that if each AMI
every one of US will try to do our part
''the balance will be added unto us"
