NATIONAL FOREST
BOUNDARY IS CHANGED

On May 70 the President signed a
proclamation eliminating approx
mately 5000 acres from the Kaibab
National Forest, Arizona. AT the
same time 10000 acres were added
to the total area Of the Forest, which
now embraces some l,072.oO0 acres.
The eliminated lands, which lie
along the western boundary. west OF
Kanab Canyon, and north of the
Grand Canyon OF the Colorado, were
found upon examination by forest
officers to be of little value for for
est purposes.
The additions are in the north
eastern part of the forest and con-

which it was desired to include in

SMOKE HOUSE THIEVES ABROAD.
Stole ALI the Bacon Belonging to Two
Residents of Sang Kun District.

One night the latter part of last week
two smoke houses containing large
quantities of bacon, located in the
neighbornoOd of Swallow Falls and Sang
run, were entered by thieves and the
contents of both buildings carried away,
entailing loss to the owners of con-
siderable sum.
One of the buildings, on the farm of
Mrs. Amos Friend contained more than
three hundred pounds of cured bacon.
Nearly every ham and shoulder as well
as a number of smaller pieces of the
meat, were stolen, while on the farm of
Homer Custer, who has been an invalid
for more than year past, most of the
time being confined to his bed, the
smoke house was cleared out entirely,
the thieves carrying away about three
hundred pounds Of cured meats, con-
slstlng Of hams, shoulders and sides.
The loss falls heavily upon both Mrs,
Friend, who is widow, and also upon
Mr. Custer. whose physical condition is
such as to keep him bedridden almost
all the time.
A determined effort is being made by
the law abiding residents of the section
where the thieveing was done and also
by the States officers to locate and
arrest the guilty parties.

.OAKLAND'S POsTOFF|CE
IS NEWLY LOCATED
Splendid Quarters Now Occupied BY
Postmaster Peddicord and Assistants.

The task of moving the records and
other paraphernalia of the postoffice in
Oakland was accomplished last Satur-
day afternoon by Postmaster Peddicord
and his corps of assistants who are now
occupying the room specially fitted up
and newly furnished in the First Ma
tional Bank building, the entrance to
the office being on Second street in
stead of on Alder street as formerly.
The new Office is much larger, better
lighted and more convenient than the
room vacated and the result is that
more and speddier work is accomplished,
Under the new order of things call
boxes have been eliminated and in their
stead several hundred lock boxes fitted
with combination locks have been in
stalled. These boxes lock automatically
and until the renters become better
acquainted with the combinations and
the knack of running them complaints
will naturally follow. but in time this
difficulty will be overcome.
In the lobby of the office two specially
constructed writing desks have been
conveniently placed against the wall
for the use of the public which are in
constant use At the rear of the lobby
door leads into the department set
aside for the rural carriers. while
Immediately inside the front door is the
entrance to the private office of the
postmaster, which will be screened off
from other sections of the office.
Registry, stamp and parcels post
windows are conveniently located. while
the receptacles for letters, newspapers
and packages occupy the front of a
section as one enters the door.
Mails will be received and despatched
through side entrance, thus keeping
the lobby clear of pouches at all times.
The furniture and fixtures Of the
Office is beautifully finished and the best

GOOD ROADS COMMISSION
IN GARRETT YESTERDAY
Body Inspected Proposed Route for
Shoemaker Road from FriendsviIIe.

The State Good Roads Commission,
composed of Mr.. 0. E. Weller. chair
man, Chief Engineer Henry G. Shirley,
and Mr.. Andrew Ramsay, arrived in
Oakland last night and took train No.
from here for Baltimore, the party hav-
ing motored through from that city on
an inspection tour of the roads now be-
ing repaired and rebuilt.
The prime purpose of the commission
in visiting Garrett county was to inspect
the route for the proposed road leading
from the Weller mill down Bear Creek
to Friendsville. At Weller's Mill the
members of the Commission were met
by the Board of County Commissioners
of this county and large delegation
of Friendsville people. They were tax
en- over the route on the logging rail
road of the Rock Lick Lumber Com
pany, which practically covers the en-
tire distance of the proposed road and
returned to the place OF starting later
IN the day.
The commissions intention is to make
a relocation of the survey and thus
endeavor to cheaper the construction
work which can be readily done by
erecting a number of bridges not con-
templated in the original survey. By
this method it is thought that the--road
can be built at cost that is within the
means Of the county.
On the way to Friendsville meeting
was held at GrantsviIIe for the purpose
of urging immedi ate national pike i'm
provements, where more than hun
dred Garrett county farmers and prac-
tically all the residents Of Grantsville
were in attendance. The meeting was
brief but great enthusiasm marked the
proceedings, as it was seen from the
outset that both Chairman Weller and
Mr.. Ramsey felt kindly disposed toward
the proposition of improving the pike
and promised to push the improvements
along as rapidly as possible.

$4,000 ARE LEVIED FOR
PUBLIC SCHOOL PURPOSES
Garrett County Commissioners Make
Increased Appropriations.

While the annual levy for the county
has not yet been closed up by the Board
of County Commissioners now in session
IN Oakland, it has been given out that
the sum of $35. 900 have been set aside
for the support and maintenance of the
public school system of the county an
increase of 81, 600 over last year. This
increase, along with other expenses,
notable among which is the item of
several thousand dollars spent to re-
place bridges and repair roads washed
out during the flood of last July, will
make slight increase in the tax rate,
which was to be expected.
The Commissioners action in making
an increased appropriation for the
maintenance of the school system is
commendable They have the assurance
that the tax payers are in sympathy
with their action, feeling that the money
is being judiclously used by the school
board.
