dentally there are several other routes re-
turning from Leesburg to Washington,
but motorists are advised not to attempt
them just at this time. as they are more
suitable for an endurance run than a
pleasure trip. The Whites ferry run Is
considered the best. and for this reason
most of the traffic headed for the Shen-
andoah valley is over this particular
route.
The route from Rockville to Ounce

miles longer than that from Rockville to
Ounce Orchard direct, is all over good

industry in other cities and states have
not been slow in responding, and the tenn
porary committee. composed of Carl G..

the project. reports that there is no ap-
parent reason why the enterprise should
not be carried to successful completion

made and not dollar of this money is to
be spent until the entire fund OF Slo,00J.-

for any. reason wha tsoever the ocean-to-

realized the money already contributed

with 3 per cent interest added. All ex-
penses incidental to the promotion of the
plans are to be met by Mr.. Allison and
Mr.. Fisher personally. up to the. point
where the venture Is either a success or
failure.
One thing that stands out prominently
