THIS COUNTY MAY FURNISH TREE
A Tremendous Pine Wanted As NUM-
cipal Christmas Tree in Baltimore.

The people of Baltimore have been
planning for some weeks to have an
unusual Christmas celebration by in
augurating movement to have NUM-
cipal Christmas tree which is to be
ladened with gifts for the poor of that
city and distributed uuder the patronage
of a committee appointed for the
purpose. Where to get the tree has
been problem that has confrunted the
managers of the project. Some have
wanted to send to the pine woods of
Maine while others of the city were in
favor of securing it at some other point.
The committee, however, wants Mary
land grown tree, and how to secure it
was outlined in an interview with DR..
Henry w. McComas published IN yester-
DAVIS Sun, who has been in Baltimore
for some time past to watch over several
patients in Johns Hopkins Hospital, and
who is stopping at the Hotel Herman.
Upon the subject of the municipal
tree DR.. McComas said to the sun re-
porter:
81 have been following the progress
of the arrangements through THE Sun, /"
said DR.. McComas, land l am pleased
to see the community take it up. 1t is a
grand idea. But that tree should
certainly not be brought in from another
State. We have trees big enough right
here in Maryland. If anyone doubts it,
let him go to Garrett county and see the
stately white pines there. Some of
them are enormous. The Ashby
Lumber Company, at Oakland, or the
Kendall Lumber Company. at Crellin,
Md, know all about these trees. Why
not have the committee get into COM
munication with them?'

A GREAT SNOW STORM
VISITS THIS COUNTY
Delays Railroad Traffic Service On R.
r. D. Routes Abandoned.

When the people of this mountain
summit awoke Sunday morning they
were surprised to find the ground GOV er.
ed with six inches of snow. 1t contin-
ued to snow and blow for the next two
days. Bushes and Young trees were
bent down to the ground, and the limbs
of the mighty oaks were heavily fes-
TONED with snow. The snow drifted
badly, greatly interfering with the move
ment of trains. causing them to be ma
ny hours behind time. Travel on the
public highways was closed on account
of the immense snow drifts, in some
places more than eight feet high. All
of the Il. F. d. and star mail routes
leading out of Oakland had to be aband-
oned. One or two carriers succeeded
in getting mile or two out of town.
1t is estimated that at least twelve
inches of snow fell during the storm.
Monday morning Blaine Geisman under
took to take Prof. Teats and Miss Mar
garet Hart to Crellin, but had to turn
back after going about mile. Tues
day morning MIR. Ashby, the Accident
mail carrier, accompanied by his father.
started out with the mail. By persist
ent effort and much shoveling of snow
he succeeded in reaching Accident about
6:15 p. m. After the mail was changed
he started on his return trip, but only
got as far as Hoyes, where he remained
all night Mr.. George Geissman, the
carrier, succeeded IN getting the mail
through to Sines and Swallow Falls.
The two Il. f. D. carriers failed to de-
liver their mail.
1t will be several days before all the
roads will be open for travel. At Noun
tain Lake Park a number of electric
light poles were blow down and many of
the wires were broken. The entire line
of wires will have to be overhaued be-
fore they can be put in service.
No one can recall such a storm in the
month of November 1t was regular
mid-winter storm. Yesterday was an
ideal winter day, A most delightful

Plans Rejected For Potomac River.

Lieut.. Col. William C. Langftt, of
the Engineer Corps of the Army,
Washington. sent notification to the
effect that the report on a preliminary
examination of the Potomac river,
with view of its Improvement from
Washington to Cumberland has been
completed and is unfavorable TO the
project. This survey was authorized
by the River and Harbors Act of Con-
gress, passed on July 25, 1912. Itcalled
for survey of the Potomac river, from
Washington to Cumberland, with a
view to making it navigable by locks
or otherwise. Communities all the way
from Washington to Cumberland were
interested in this project and four states
were awaiting the report having in
terested themselves through their
members of Congress.
The reason given by Col Langftt,
for the ,unfavorable report on the
project are comprised by HIM IN the
notice he sent out, in a single sentence:
That the very large cost of any
suitable improvement and of its after
operation and maintenance are not
justified at the present time by any
resulting benefits to commerce.
This appeal may be taken to the
Board of Engineers for Rivers and
Harbors, a permanent body sitting in
Washington, to which the unfavorablc
report in the upper Potomac river
project has now been referred.

Considerable interest has been mani
Tested in this series of unsectarian
Bible lectures. The subjects have been
attractive, and the speakers able men.
The subject of the closing lecture is:

Chance" Many are commenting on the
Second Chance" theory, some claim
ing that those who live wickedly here
will get another chance hereafter,
while others think that only one chance
will be afforded to anyone. This is said
to be most interesting lecture of the
series. With an able Bible scholar for
the speaker, and a lively theme for
dicussion, a good turnout is expected.
