Chevy Chase Citizens to Appear Be-
fore Commission Thursday.


The District Electric Railway Commits
sion yesterday postponed until Thursday
night the hearing of the Chevy Chase
service question. The hearing will take

Commerce Commission.
1t is reported that the entire member

this will not necessarily be express"
for either the whole or part Of the line.
The volume of traffic to Cleveland Park
and Chevy Chase has grown to such an
extent that there is a great need for
more cars. The Traction Company ar

Fort Stockton Grows From Settlement
to City While Railroad Is Being Built
Ten Years Ago Eight Houses

ORT STOCKTON, Tex. Aug. 20
II It is legend in this little city OF
L west Texas that no man dared
settle at Comanche Springs III the days
of the indian raids by the Comanches'
when they would come to the water
hole and battle their 1.-THE bodies in the
temperate waters of the springs Whlch
had no bottom" Finally a few ma
tive Mexicans who were more hardy
than their fellows. settled around
these springs and fed their domestic
cattle on the sweet grass in the low
land marshes. It was called ST Gan
by these early settlers for the SAINT
day Of one of the number
When the United States government
decided to establish an army post al
the springs in 1868 to protect the
overland wagon trains from attack Dy
the indians, the town took the name
of the fort which was called Fort
Stockton, for now unknown army
officer.
Ruins Of Old Adobe Houses
The ruins of the adobe houses winch
were built in old St GaH sun stanu
near the springs as memento OF man
first conquest of the COmanche Springs
country. The lumber for Fort Stock
ton was freighted from Galveston,
where it was shipped by water from
the Dinev woods. Seven officers quar-
tiers and five barracks were built OF
adobe with window frames and Iloors
something then unheard Of in old st.
Gall. The guardhOuse was bullt OF
stone at a cost of 100000 and is
standing today as a monument 10 us
builders. There are also a few OF the
officers quarters still standing ana
have been occupied by families since
the post was deserted in 1886.
Eight Houses in 1856
There is a picture of old Fort STOCK
TON hanging on the wall of the STOCK
ton club which shows exactly eight
houses. This was taken in 1904 and IS
Indicative of the size of this city less
than 10 years ago. When the Orient
survey was made through here, the old
town had a population of 200 souls and
the new town was a pasture. When
the first train arrived over the Orient
there were 1000 people here 10 meet
II and more coming to locate on TINS
same first train.
It is now the division point OF the
railroad which gives a direct outlet TO
the Kansas and Oklahoma country
The railroad has built a round house,
a stone passenger station, an equally
substantial freight station and a large
amount of yardage in the city to ac-
commOdate the cattle and alfalfa
shippers. Being the county seat OF
PecOs county, modern Fort stockton
could not stand for the little brick
courthouse. and a new one, costing
S125. 600 and built more like a court
house than an Egyptian temple, has
been erected and is to be dedicated

MARINES ARE BEING KEPT IN
READINESS FOR EMERGENCY
Corps at Philadelphia Can Provision
Transport and Start for Any
Point Within Il Hours.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 26.-While
the United States marine corps has not
been preparing for any particular
emergency, officials declare that
branch of the service has been made
so mobile that on a few hours notice
it could start for any place. This ap-
plies in general to the entire person.
mel of the corps, but more particularly
to that portion stationed at Philadel-
phia-
So far as the men themselves are
concerned everyone would be at their
posts with all their paraphernalia in
two hours after call came, every man
would be in line, for the marine corps
is the one branch of the fighting serv-
ice which is filled up to the last man.
Of the 1922 marines, not counting Of
ficers, many more are stationed at
Philadelphia than at any other point
At Norfolk there are almost 700. but
many are recruits. not ready for serv-
ice without at least 10 weeks train
ing.
As to provisioning transport to
carry marines from Philadelphia, 1t was
said that it would require some hours
more than it would take the men
themselves to get aboard However, 1t
is believed all the food needed for an
extended trip could be taken aboard IN
considerably less than u hours.
