The argument might be offered that

that argument holds, and it is con

A greater representation does not
mean that the northern Democrats

History of The Potomac River
Era Once Great Inland Sea- and Tops of Maintain Ridges
Were Oceans Bottom Fossil Sea Shells Found

The great Potomac gorge was not
always, as it is today, one Of the most
beautiful and picturesque Of river val
leys. The United States Geological
Survey has recently published a geo
logic folio describing about 400 square
miles. including a portion Of the Pc
tomac yalley-the areas known as the
Paw Paw and Hancock quadrangles,
in Pennsylvania, Maryland and West
Virginia. This folio CNo. l79), which
was written by George w. Stone. con
tains a most interesting account Of
the gradual cutting down by the river
Of this deep gorge during thousands
of years
The area is located in a part of the
Potomac valley where the river winds
in great curves through a deep gorge
with densely wooded slopes. As the
railroad traveller swings around these
sharp bends which almost meets be
fore they reverse and realizes that
it takes three times as long to ride
between two points as it would to 60
in a straight line, he may wonder how
the river acquired such a course.
In view from the tops of the
hilltops are nat and of about the same
altitude, and that if the valleys were
filled up they would form a nearly
level plain This feature is also eX-
cellently shown by the topographic
map which forms part of the folio.
Mr.. Stone says that the many thousan
Mr.. Stone says that many thousand
years ago the Potomac flowed toward
the sea upon this plain which at that
time was much lower i'm altitude--in
fact so near the level of the sea that
the stream was very sluggish and
wandered about in its valley, as is
the custom of streams with low grade,
such as the Mississippi Later, when
the interior of the continent was
somewhat elevated. the streams be
came 'rejuyenated" and cut down
their channels, first into the soft
detritus which had accumulated in
the fiat valley and eventually into the
hard rocks beneath. AS the continent
rose still higher, they cut deeper into
the rocks, and, as a result, the Poto-
mac is now deeply intrenched in these
winding gorges. One stream in the
area, however is making a change by
cutting off a meander and taking a
short cut through hill producing a
beautiful cataract This stream is

PRECAUTIONS TAKEN
At KILMER SPRING

S'urce of the Clty's Water

The Board of Affairs met in regu,
lar weekly session last night Presi,
dent Cushwa presiding.
City Engineer Hess, reported that
he had had a conference with Charles
Bender relative TO the removal Of Il
stable near the Kilmer spring, the
source of the city's warer supply, 1t
was feard by the authorities that the
stable might sometime contaminate
the spring, so Mr.. Bender agreed to
move it some distance away from its
present location
The board ordered water meter

ing on West King street, now near
ing completion.
City Attorney Seibert was directed
to have the agreement properly sign
ed relative to the new water pipe
that crosses the II. P. Thorn proper
ty. north of the c. v freight station.
Whilst the city believed it had the
right to cross the lane sn question
with a second water main, under a
former agreement in writing, yet it
was deemed wise in this instancesto
take the present precautionary
measures.
