WATCH OAKLAND GROW.
A r10dern City on the Crest of the
Allegheny fountains.


Oakland, the county seat of Garrett
county, Maryland, is situated in a mag
nj cent farming country. Agriculture
eing the true basis of all continued
" )sperity, this industry alone could
support city or several thousand peo-
lie, where most crops of the temperate
zone are produced and where total fail
ures are wholly unknown. In addition
: the staple crops of wheat, oats. corn.
4 re, potatoes, buckwheat, maple sugar,
nay, etc, this section is a great apple
country, and many varieties of fruits,
berries and vegetables grow with little
attention.
Yet, these are by no means all the
advantages nature has so prodigally be-
slowed upon this community. Right at
our doors are rich deposits of coal, kao-
lin, pure glass sand, fire and potters'
clay, an lnexhaustible supply of brick
and tile shale, abundant supply of ma
tural gas for lighting, heating and
manufacturing purposes, the purest
water on earth, a great supply of water
power only waiting harness to illumi-
nate this mountain top, and supply fac
tories and electric railways with power.
Oakland is situated in the center Of a
plateau twenty by sixty miles in eX-
tent, two thousand eight hundred feet
above the sea, where it is never too not
for comfort and never too cold for con
venience: Americas ideal summer re-
sort; Americas greatest health resort;
where we sleep under two or more blan-
kets all summer long and you, who re-
side in the lowlands or large centerS Of
population. are sweltering with the heat
and breathing humid, unhealthy and
poisoned air. Here the drives are grand
in prospect and glorious in nature S
garb; where some new scene greets the
vision at every turn of the road. S23s,-
10000 is being spent on State highways
radiating from Oakland.

lands or fruit lands, you will find prices

When YOU consider that right mere,
within six hours of the Nation S capital,
is a country with almost unbounCed re-
sources. with a variety of everything:
Water Works, Sewerage, Natural Gas,
healthy climate, where hay fever and
1anv Ills to which the human race is
neir in less favored clmes, is entirely
unknown: land of pure and abundant
water, a land of churches and schools,
without any IdCc VI OtilSA 'S-NS''4'N''

along with the man of more pretentious
capital has opportunities commensurate
with his pluck, intelligence and energy,
of an equal start in life, then you will

rectness of the advice given herein.
THE Creator is still making people,
but no more land. There is tide in
the affairs of men which, if taken at
the flood, leads on to fortune and
fame"
Don't miss the opportunity Of life
time and regret it for years to come.
~ word to the wise is sufficient"
