NATIONS COAL PRODUCTION
Wonderful Increase Shown by United
State Geological Survey.

The United States Geological Survey
has issued its annual coal chart, show
ing the production of coal by3sstates
from the year 1914 to 1910 The figures
relate wonderful history of growth.
In 1914 a total Of % tons of coal was
produced in Pennsylvania. In 1915 the
percentage of increase was good but
still only 80 tons were taken out. By
1925 over 100, 900 tons were mined in
two States producing. In 1850 the fig
ures had reached 7,0l8, 1Sl tons. In 1876
it was SO, $50. 600 tons. At the end of
the century it was 269, 684, OPT tons. In
1905 it was 1872, 722, 635 tons. In 1907,
which it was supposed would remain the
record year for some time the produc-
ton was 480, 1868, 424 tons but in 1910 the
enormous total was reached of sol, 500,
$50 short tons, a production larger by
far than that of any other country in
the world. So steady has been the in
crease in American coal production that
most of the years have been record
breakers. The total production since
1914 has been approximately eight and
a quarter billion tons.

FOREST FIRE Loss
WAS OVER $4,000
This Amount Suffered BY Land Own
ers Of Garrett County Last Year.

The annual damage caused by forest
fires is enormous. Last spring the loss
in Garrett county was over 1920, 600. In
view Of the fact that most of these fires
are from wilfullness. or carlessness. at
tention is called to the following pro-
visions of the State Forest Laws:
The law requires that "any one who
discovers a forest or brush fire not I'M
der the control or supervision of some
person, " shall eXtinguish it or report it
Immediately to the local forest warden
or patrolman. Failure to do so is pun
ishable by a rine Of SO.
The Forest Wardens, or Forest Pa
trolmen for Garrett county, with their
addresses and telephone numbers, as
far as can be secured, are as follows:
Silas Arnold, Dobbin, w Va; Albert
Bolden, Finzel; Alexander Bittinger,

trolman); Milton Wiley, Grantsville;
D. W. Wilson, Wilson, W. Va.
In case of fire the local Forest War
den. or Patrolman should be notified
immediately The law requires that
the landowner. or tenant, on whose
lands the fire is burning shall do all that
he can with the help he has on his place
to control the fire, and prevent its es-
cape to other lands. Upon the arrival
of the Forest Warden he will assist the
landowner and if more help is needeu
he will obtain the men and direct their
work, the expense Of such service to be
paid by the County and State.
No back-firing is allowed on the lands
without the consent of the owner, ex-
cept under the direction of the Forest
Warden, who is authorized by law to
start back-fres, pillow burrows. tear
down fences, whenever the necessity
arises in order to check fire.
A strict enforcement of the law will
reduce to a minimum the forest fires in
the county. 1t is the duty of everyone,
who wants the forest protected from
fire, to cooperate with and assist the
forest wardens in enforcing the law and
to punish anyone who violates it.

MARYLAND DEMOCRATS
ARE LOOKING AHEAD
Planning to Retain Control Of all the
Offices.

Since the election of last Tuesday,
Democrats have been IN a bad humor.
Of course, they sincerely regret Mr..
Germans defeat. They regret to a
greater extent the loss of patronage
which Is distributed by the Governor.
There are afoat to hush the cries of
the officeholders. A tentative program
has been agreed upon in a restricted
circle, this program later to be revealed
at conference of leaders. This plan
embra ces the following program:
Creation of a State Board of Elec.
ton Supervisors to appoint all county
and city supervisors, who in turn viii
appoint election judges and clerks. The
members of this board will be elected
by the and to be beyond the power OF
removal by Governor Goldsborough. Ii
this plan can be carried through the
Wilson ballot law may be retained.
Lodging in the State Board of Educa.
ton also to be named by the Legisla-
turel the power to appoint the county
school commissioners.
This board will also be beyond power
Of removal by the next governor.
Election of Police Commissioners OF
Baltimore by the Legislature, thus tax
ing this important department from the
executive
Repeal of the Primary Election Law.
Creation Of new State loan Of s.,
$50, 900 for improvements of State roads
and retention OF the present State Roads
Commission through an act of the Leg
islature
All this and possibly more IS to be ac-
complished during the first week of the
Legislature and before MIR. Goldsbor-
ough is inaugurated governor on Janu-
airy u. The Democrats have major
ity in the Senate sufficiently large to
enable them to suspend the rules and
adopt this program in one day. The
Democrats have not enough votes in the
House to rush their program so rapidly
as in the Senate by a suspension of
rules, but they have sufficient legisla-
tive DAYS in which to do all they want
to do.

MARYLAND WILL LOSE CT
CONSIDERABLE TERRITORY
West Virginia to Gel Thirty Two
Square Miles.

The report of the commissioners APP
pointed under the mandate of the Su-
preme Court of the United States to
define the disputed boundary line be-
tween MARYLAND and West Virginia has
been completed and has been filed under
seal with the clerk of the Supreme
Court for presentation probably next
Monday. The commissioners are Messrs.
w. Mccullough Brown for MARYLAND;
Julius X. Monroe for West Virginia;
and Dr. s. S. Gannett, of the Geologi-
cal Survey.
Under the mandate Of the Supreme
Court the line to be drawn by the com
missioners was to follow as closely as
was found practicable the so-called Dea-
kin line, which the Supreme Court de-
clared after hearing argument on both
sides, was in effect the boundary line
Copies of the decision have been sent to
the governors OF the two states, with a
map showing the boundary line
The decision when approved by the
Supreme Court, will end a controversy
that has been pending from time 70 time
nearly two centuries. The members of
the commission have been steadily at
work for months. The new line passes
near the towns of Hutton, Md, and
Corinth and GAINESVILLE, w. Va Its
southern point is about a mile from
Fairfax Station, and its northern eX
tremity is in the vicinity of Markleys-
burg, Pa.
The territory affected lies in Garrett
county, Md, and Preston county, W.
Va The new boundary will deprive
MARYLAND of about 81 square miles of
territory, whlch'will be added to Pres
ton county. The boundary is marked
by concrete monuments two feet square
and four feet high. 1t is understood
that the report of the commission is not
unanimous, and that Nh Brown, Mary
lands commissioner, has filed report
differing in some details from that of
the other two members of the commits
sion.

Jealous Firemen Rewarded,

A special meeting of the fire board
was held in Phoenix opera house at
$50 o'clock last Sunday afternoon,
with Chairman Aramis Melancon pre-
siding and a quorum of members
present. Mr.. Melancon, in a prettily-
Worded and well-delivered little adj
dress, presented Paul Wilheit and
Joseph Giofre with handsome gold
firemen's jewels, and Victor Camel
with a beautiful gold Red Mems en-
blematic watch fob, as token of
the boards appreciation of the zeal
Gus and untiring efforts of these
gentlemen in soliciting funds for the
five companies comprising the fire
department. Each of the surprised
recipients of the handsome testi-
monials responded in feeling terms
to Mr. Melancon's eulogistic and com
plimentary expressions, and voiced
his appreciation of the honor
conferred upon him by his fellow
members of the fire board.
The public expects an annual dem
or display of some kind
on the part Of the fire department,
and as quite an amount of money
is required to defray the expenses of
such celebration, as well as to
maintain al the department. at a proper
degree of efficiency, it has been
found necessary each year to ap-
point a committee to solicit contri-
buttons u from the merchants, business
men and citizens generally. This
years soliciting committee was com
posed of Messrs. Camel, Wilheit and
Glofre, and as result of their
earnest work sum was collected
greatly IN excess of that secured by
any similar committee within recent
years The police Jury appropriates
$500 and the town council s45o an
nually to the maintenance of the
Donaldsonville fire department. but
while the parochial appropriation is
always Forthcoming when due, that
made by the municipal adn1inistra-
ion is not SO readily obtainable.
and, In fact, has not been paid for
he past year.

DESTROYING Mosquitoes.


Go over every square yard Of the
territory within two hundred yards OF
your house and wherever you find
a hollow in which water aecumulates
during rain, a pool or marshy spot,
a tub or ornamental pond, either fill
1t up, drain it. or coat it with coal
oil. You will find, in nine cases out
of ten, that you have practically rid
yourself of mosquitoes and gnats.
It is almost incredible what short
lived and trivial accumulations of
water will suffice for some Of these
pests to breed in. Anything that will
hold water half an inch deep for
ten days is sufficient. Even such
an nsignificant-lo oking 1ake-basin as
a tomato-can, a sardine-tin, an old
boot, or a broken piece Of crockery,
if it happens to be shaded SO that
the sun cannot readily eVaporate the
water which it catches during
rain-storm, will serve to .harbor the
noxious "Wrigglers.' =

4 Notable Attractions at The Gondran
The program for the coming week
at the Gondran Theatre promises tic
prove even more interesting and en-.
Joyable than those with which that
popular playhouse has entertained
us patrons for the past month, which
IS undoubtedly saying a great deal
since it is generally conceded that
the attractions furnished by the Con
dram Of late have been exceptionally
nlgh-class and meritorious. The bill
for the week commencing tomorrow
is as follows: Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday, Hattie Barnes, singing
comedienne; Wednesday, $50 p. M,
drawing for S. gold piece; Friday
and Saturday, Happy" Billy Rogers,
an extra clever comedian. There
will be a complete change of
program each night, both of vaude-
vile specialties and moving pictures.
and many new and amusing features
will be offered throughout the week.
On Monday night, July 10, in adj
dltlon to the vaudeville and the
usual picture program, there will be
shown particularly notable and in
terestlng film-the Smelling of the
battleship San Marcos formerly
the Texas" by the modern fighting
machines of the United States navy
in lower Chesapeake Bay March %
last. The spectacular portrayal shows
every detail Of the work of loading,
firing and 'sspotting'' on the battle
ship New Hampshire which did
such effective work in battering the
old San Marcos" under the faultless
aim of its Well-trained gunners The
shots are distinctly seen striking the
water, throwing fountains of foam
of feet into the air, and
several of the scenes show the death
dealing projecti1es penetrating the
side Of the doomed warship, which
finally careens and sinks to the |
bottom of the bay. The film is one
Of the most remarkable which has
ever been developed by the moving
picture syndicate, and it will doubt
less attract capacity audiences on the
occasion of it's presentation at the
Iondran next Monday night.
Cooled by rotary and exhaust fans,
perfectly lighted and ventilated, and
lp-to-date throughout in every ap-
continent, the popular Gondran con
,lnues to make good" with the
public and is gaining new
patrons every day because of it's
attractions and superior

to the many splendid values which

Wide-aWake X-Ray Pharmacy is keep,
ing up with and just a little ahead
Of the times in an advertising re-
. spect is practically demonstrated
! by what is perhaps the most elab-
crate system of advertising ever at
/ tempted by any business house in
this section, namely: the giving away
of the beautiful Upton Parlor Grand
Piano, which is now upon exhibition
at that establishment.
This piano retails at $500, and is
guaranteed for ten years. The prin-
cipal points of superiority of the
celebrated Upton piano over any
other of this class of instruments
lie in the three strings in unison
with overstrung bass, the splendidly
pitched scale and true sounding
board which give the Upton that
rich, deep, even tone so much adj

In a recent interview with Edmond
Richard, the enterprising proprietor
of the X-Ray Pharmacy, regarding
this decided innovation in advertis-
ing, Mr.. Richard stated: 1--WE have
been enjoying the patronage and
confidence of the buyers of this
community for some time, and by al
ways trying to keep our stocks COM

piano we are actuated by double
purpose: to show our appreciation
of the patronage of our friends dur
ing the past, and also to encourage
new trade and to bring the many
splendid values we are now show
ing in all lines to the attention of
every buyer in this territory. The
plan we are using in giving away
this piano is equitable and fair to
all, being simply this: every per-
son buying one dollars worth of any
thing in our store will receive
coupon good for 100 votes. The per-
son returning to us on Dec. %, 1911,
the largest number of votes will be
given the piano absolutely free of
all cost. No favors will be shown.
Our reputation for square dealing
assures our customers of that fact
This $500 Upton parlor grand piano
Is, surely a present worth having and
we predict a very merry race for
coupon votes during the next few
