To Make the Potomac NavigabIe.

Public meetings are announced 10 DC
held at Cumberland on the morning OF
May Sth, at Hancock the afternoon OF the
same day, at Harper's Ferry on Nay Yin
and in Washington on May 10th, to con-
slider the river and harbor bill OF July =,
1912, which provides for the preliminary
examination, and, if found advisable, the
survey Of the Potomac river from Wash
ington TO Cumberland with view TO
making the river navigable. II is believ-
ed that the Improvements will necessarily
take the form either of dams in the river
itself, with locks with internal canals at
such places as may be found necessary,
or by lateral canal the whole way from
Georgetown 10 Cumberland on one bank
or the other of the river, or it may involve
the purchase and improvement OF the
Chesapeake & Ohio canal.
Information is especially desired COW
ering the following:
Commercial statistics relating to the
prospective commerce Of the improved
river.
Character OF the articles which would
be transported, and probable tonnage.
Sizes of craft for which it would be
most desirable to provide.
Whether the improvement should pro-
vide mainly for lowed barges, or self
propelled boats.
Savings to the communities interested,
in the way of reduction of freight rates.
Possibilities OF disposal OF water pow
er, if developed, and probable returns
per horsepower year that might be ex-
pected.
Whether local cooperation in the cost
of the improvement can be expected in
reasonable amount.
In this connection ex-Judge Ferdinand
Williams, OF Cumberland, says that before
the Chesapeake & Ohio, known as the
Potomac Company, was formed, with
George Washington as president. This
was about the year 1894, at which time
George Washington wrote the directors
of the said company that the Potomac
river could be made navigable for steam
boats as far as Cumberland, and implor-
ed the company not TO build canal, but
WaShington's advice was turned down,
the Chesapeake & Ohio Company formed
and the canal built.

BASEBALL.

Baseball.
Winnie McDonad'S baseball team went
TO Shenandoah Junction last Saturday to
play a game with Fatty Sager'S club. All
went well until the seventh inning, when
somebody got the idea that Russell Hen
son was weakening, and CoXey Turner
was sent in TO relieve him as pitcher. 1t
was a fatal mistake, for Coxy got ratified
and let in enough runs TO beat Shep-
herdstown by score OF 6to2. Winnie's
boys say that the Junction fellows took
advantage OF them by runningin big play
ers on them-three of the JunctionlteS &C
tuslly being big enough to wear long
pants
In very loose game OF baseball last
Saturday the Shepherd College team lost
TO the ST. James School by score OF II
to IA. Both sides made many errors and
weak pitchers were batted heavily. Can
field, who started pitching for the college
team, developed bad arm in the second
inning, and was relieved by Phillips, who
made a much better showing.

The Market-House Building.

The agitation concerning the removal
OF the old market-house building from the
middle OF King street still interests a good
many OF our people, and another meeting
was held to discuss the matter last Friday
night. A committee of the town council,
OF the firemen and of citizens met in the
council room, with Recorder James S.
Rightstine presiding, and there was gen.
eral discussion. The firemen offered TO
turn their lot and uncompleted building
over 10 the town authorities on condition
that the town complete the building.
While this was regarded as very liberal
on the part OF the firemen, the concensus
of opinion seemed TO be that il would be
better if the firemen would retain if them
selves and devote il TO public purposes
as well as for their own use. With the
money they have on hand, and'contribu-
tons promised, they would need only
about $500 TO finish and equip the
structure. II was suggested that25 bonds
of 500 each be issued, and that they be
subscribed for by the people OF the COM
munity. Several pers, rs who were pres
eut signified their willingness TO take
these bonds.
This Thursday night the Odd Fellows
will have meeting 10 consider the sub
iect, and Friday night general meeting
OF all the committees will be held. We
understand that several propositions are
being considered, and the prospect for
getting rid of the old building seems
bright.

Henry Ford, wealthy manufacturer OF
Detroit, has recently imported from Eng
land 500 song birds and set them at lib
erty on his farm near that city. Included
among the birds were larkS, linnets, bril-
liant yellow hammers, thruShes, green
finches, bullfinches, jays, chaifincheS and
redpollS. II is expected these birds will
increase rapidly in numbers and eventu-
ally spread over the State. This is a
very excellent idea, and we wish that
other bird lovers who are able would
follow Mr.. Ford's example and send us
the best birds from other parts OF the
world.
