Making Steel at Frederick.
5000 Pounds Made In 20 Min
utes. Second Test The Best.

Under the second test conducted last
Saturday the steel plant of the Morris
Iron and Steel Company, of Frederick,
which was installed by E. Cooper Wills
& Co., was even more successful than
the first test which was made on Monday
a week ago, says the Frederick Post.
In 20 minutes 5000 pounds of superior
quality steel was produced, which show
ed up we'll under the most severe tests.
1t took "a minutes on the first heat to
produce 5000 pounds. Mr.. Wills states
that about IL, 900 pounds could be pro-
duced in about 80 minutes.
Contracts for work are being receiv-
ed in large numbers and it will only be
short time before the plant will be rum
ming ten hours each hay, The Wills fur
mace has a capacity of so tons per day
and as fast as one heat is drawn prepa-
rations for another are made.
Each test conducted has been run off
with any serious trouble and with the
exception of few minor changes the
furnace is the same as it was when first
completed.
The Morris Iron and Steel Company is
now prepared to make armor plate for
the United States Government and it is
said that the steel produced Is the best
that can be prsduced, for the reason that
the three methods for making stee--the
Bessemer, open hearth and the electrical
are embodied in the plant.

BAIL forfeited.
DR.. w. A. Long and Miss Weller
Fail to Appear When Cases
Are Called.

Preferring to forfeit their $l,2oO pail
rather than face trial upon the charge OF
stealing tool kits from the FrederickIClty
Garage, DR.. W. A. Long and Miss Jeh-
ME Weller failed to answer when their
cases were called for trial last Thursday
afternoon in the Circuit Court. Accord
ing to the records of the Court, their bail
was 81 200, which was declared forfeited.
Frederick Obenderfer, the surety, Will
have this amount to pay, but it is under
stood that he is protected to the extent
of $500 this being first understood as the
ball. and is the amount for when ne
claims he is liable. There is also charge
of perjury against DR.. Long.
Friday morning in Court, Reno 5. Harp
asked concerning the bail, Mr.. Offender
fer then being in court. He claimed the
bail should be $500 and Judge Urner
stated the docket showed $1,000 was
asked. An investigation will be made.
Mr.. Obenderfer claims that he can prove
by several witnesses that only $500 was
the bail, as fixed and that this Is the
amount for which he states he became
surety.
On Saturday. Sept. H. DR.. Long and
Miss Weller were in Frederick, and TO
most persons it was thought they expect
ed to stand trial. To one or two persons
they told they would not be present when
their cases were called, and DR.. Long
told man of Frederick that if he were
arrested he would kill himself and that
he would never go to trial. He then APP
peared to be nervous wreck, according
to the informant.
Frederick Obenderfer, who became
surety for DR.. Long and Miss Weller,
states that sufficient sum was placed
in his hands to cover the $500 bail. Mr..
Obenderfer is also authority for the
statement that at the time DR.. Long and
Miss Weller were arrested that they had
about So, 600 in the banks of Frederick,
and he also states that on Saturday,
when the two were in Frederick, that
they took between 81, 500 and 81, 600 from
Frederick banks. Mr.. Obenderfer states
he does not know where the two now
are.
The bail is one of the largest which
has been forfeited in court in Frederick
in many years. 1t is stated that the
State could, if it chose, bring them to
trial. States Attorney Lewis has not
stated whether he expected to do this.

Nome Laid Waste.
Famous Gold Camp Almost De-
stroyed by Storm From
Boring Sea.

Boring Sea.
Nome, Alaska, was almost destroyed
by storm last Sunday.
Two miles of territory next to the sea
was devastated, but no lives were lost
Five hundred houses have been demol-
ished, and more are falling.
The electric light plant was wrecked
and telephone service cut off.
The steamships Victoria and Corwln,
which were lying in the roadstead, ran
to the open sea and escaped damage.
All the small boats on the beach were
destroyed.
The loss is estimated at 5000 600.
The storm that began beating in from
Bering Sea was the worst ever known
at Nome. Men and women worked all
night in the icy water to save their
household effects.
Nome, the famous gold camp on Ber-
ing Sea, the most northerly city in the
world, was built on a sandy sea beach
In front of the town there is an anchor
age for ships, but steamers do not make
landing. Cargoes and passengers are
landed at an aerial tramway station IN
deep water.
The principal part of the town, which
dozen years ago had population OF
10000, is on the east side of Snake river,
with finger extending to the west along
a long sandpit. This sandpit was rich in
gold dust and the early settlers built
their cabins there.
Of late years the sands have been
worked out and little except dredging
operations, which require large capital,
is being done. 1t has been estimated
that the dredges have enough ground in
sight to operate so years more. Nome
has produced more than $35, 900, 600 in
gold dust. Some years the yield has been
as high as $8,OOO,OOO This year the pro-
duction will not exceed 81, 900, 900 owing
to lack of water.
The summer population of Nome Is
about 1900 and in winter 1000 remain,
the others coming out on steamships that
leave late in October. One steamship is
yet to leave Seattle for Nome.
1t will be possible to send revenue cut
ters to Nome to deliver supplies and take
away needy persons who wish to leave,

(After NpIing-a long way after)
BY Berton Braley.
If you can laugh which others weep,
If you can work while others sleep,
If you can lose and never kick,
But start again and gamely stick;
If you can face defeat and grin,
Nor grumble if you never win;
If you can see things go to pot
And never get your collar hot, !
But take it all with perfect grit /
And scoTn to cure a single bit;
If you can bear a heap of pain
And scarcely murmur or complain;
If treachery and lies and such
Can never phase you very much;
And all through life you don't de-
To knife a foe or knock friend;
If you can keep your life thus high,
Believe me, you will be SOME guy,
And I'll admit quite frank and free,
You'll have an awful bulge on me!
