Prof. N. E. Hansen Of the State Col

was sent by the state legislature to
secure alfalfa seed for the western
part Of the state. He reports that his
trip was a very successful one and he
brought back nearly two tons of the
seed, much more than he anticipated
he would be able to secure when he
started on the journey.
The last legislature appropriated
ten thousand dollars to cover the ex.

NEW FREIGHT SCHEDULE

A new schedule for the accommoda-
ton freight train from the east went
into effect this week. 1t starts out
from Tracy in the morning and instead
of getting in here at noon it does the
switching at the different towns along
the road and will not get in here
until afternoon, depending on the
amount of work it has to do. 1t will
do the local switching and the crew
will then stay here all night, leaving
for Huron the following morning at
seven o'clock. This train, which for
merly was due in here about eleven
o'clock, was much used by the travel
ing men in short jumps to the towns
west Of here, and as a consequence
they are much wrought up over the
change. AS it is now 1t will be i'm
possible to go west from here after
this train leaves at seven In the morn
ing until the evening passenger at
seven o'clock. There is no change In
the freight going east. :

The seed is of the hardy yellow

proven it's value in the western part Of

To Convert "Dahlgren, Into g.
Hotel or Club House.
RoBERr P. GRAHAM,
Secretary of State.
July % 3mo.

The conversion of the famous Dahl
gren estate, known as "Dahleren." and
at one time the residence Of Admiral
Dahlgren, into a hotel or club house is
now proposed by number of Hapers-
town men. The estate is located on the
top of South Mountain, and on the Old
National Pike, about midway between
Frederick and Hagerstown. The prop
erty consists of about I7o acres, with
23-rocm house upon the estate
The plan is to rather make the pro-
posed hotel. something of the club house
order, and up to the present time about
45 OF the leading citizens of Hagerstown
and automobile owners have subscribed
$3.50 each of the stock of the company,
proposed to be formed. The company
will be capitalized at $4,000.
g. Milton Thomas and l. Hoton
Sweeney, of Hagerstown, came to Fred
erick recently in an effort to secure some
stock subscriptions here. The idea of a
club or road house appeals particularly to
the motorists. As soon as the $4,000
worth of stock is subscribed the place
will be purchased. 1t is now owned by
Mr.. Joseph X. Hoffman, of Hagerstown.
a merchant, who several months ago
purchased it from the Dahlgren family.

New Bank Will Open in Cline

That there was a foundation for the
rumors abroad several days ago that

became known. The new bank will be
a State bank with the title of the "Peo-

ident of the institution aud the building
TO be occupied will be the Cline property,
now used for his furniture and carpet es-
tablshment, on the Square Corner
incorporation papers are now about
ready" said Mr.. Cline when he was
asked about the new bank with which
rumor has connected his name, and he
stated that the plans for the organization
of the institution have been under con-
Sideration for some time past. The pa
pers will be sent to the State Bank De-
partment for the approval of the Bank
Commissioner OF Maryland.
The new bank will have a capital of
$4,000 and a surplus of SIC, 600. There

Central Tax Board Urged.

Probably the principal feature of the
recommendations to be made to the Leg
slature by the State Tax Commission
and TO be embodied in the bill to be
submitted to that body, providing for
a reform in the methods of taxation in
Maryland, will be that providing for a
central body, which shall adjust and
equaize the taxes in all parts of the
State. This is planned to do away with
the practice OF having two assessments
one for State and one for county or mu-
nicipal taxation.
The Tax Commission found that it
was the practice in several localities to
assess taxes for the State on one basis
and for local purposes on another, so
that decided injustice was done to the
other sections OF the State and county or
municipal taxes.
1t is expected by the members of the
commission that If the bills that the COM
mission will submit to the Legislature
are adopted the methods for the assess
ing and collection oftaxes will be greatly
simplified; that great amount of prop
erty now escaping taxation will be
placed on the books, that all parts OF
the State will be put on an equality; that
no part will pay more than its fair pro.
portion and that the taxable basis will be
largely increased and that in consequence
the tax rate will be lowered.
The commission expects to have the
draft OF its report and recommendation:
in shape to be submitted to the Governo
and to be made public October Ist.
