To Cultivate Burnt Plains.

Messrs. Stephen and Adam Sller and
Henry Hoos, of Pierce county, Wis.
German settlers, have filed on the va
cant government land in Township 49,
Range "a.
This is known as the Burnt Plains
district and these plains which have
been looked upon by us as of no value
have appealed to these settlers from
one of the best agricultural districts in
Wisconsin, who will put them under
cultivation and endeavor to demon
strate their value.
Ed Sicotte was instrumental in locat-
ing them and it is the earnest wish of
all that they will be successful in their
undertaking.

Timothy Nester Passes.

Timothy Nester. known by many old
residents through his extensive land
dealings in Baraga county, died in Chi
cago this week.
Although it is many years since Mr..
Nester was permanently a resident of

and have kept close track of his activ-
tiles. Latterly, for some two years,
Mr.. Nester has been indisposed and re-
tired from active life,

Remarkable Feat or Typesetting By
Former Oakland Typo.

The current issue of the Linotype
Bulletin, the house organ of the Mer-
genthaler Linotype Company in its list
of distinctive achievements of the limo
type machine makes special reference
to sample ballot in tabular form COM
posed in Its entirety on the linotype in
the Office of The Evening Post in Fred
ericK, and printed on the first page of
this newspaper on the day before cleo
ton.
This table was the work of Mr.. Fred
erick j. Schroeder, formerly of Oak
land, and it was composed at high speed
in order to get it into the forms in time
for the regular edition of the paper. 1t
was one of seven remarkable feats with
the linotype machine from all sections
of the country listed in the Bulletin. Of
these feats the Bulletin says:
Numerous tables summarizing the
vote of the recent presidential election
all composed on the Linotype, have been
received during the past month. While
tabular composition on the Linotype is
by no means a novelty, each of the
specimens sent had some special feature
connected with it, such as the short
time consumed in the work, the re-
markable accuracy of both machine and
operator, etc. "

SOME VALUABLE RELICS
Are Possessed In the Form of Money
by rlr. Scott L. Jones.

A few days ago Mr.. Scott 7. Jones,
of the Garrett National Bank, exhibited
some valuable and exceedingly rare
relics in the form of money, the most
striking being dollar bill issued prior
to the Revolutionary War by an act of
the colonial government of MARYLAND
authorizing its issuance. The bill is
printed in an extraordinary manner.
being about 3 81 inches, on white
parchment or paper of an exceeding
toughness, every letter being plainly
decipherable. Considering the fact
that the little scrap of paper passed
through the Johnstown flood in the
debris of which it was found and later
given to It's present owner, the bill is
very well preserved and would no doubt
be highly priced by any historical society
especially that of Maryland. Other
relics in the form of money in Mr..
Jones possession are greenbacks of the
first issue, authorized by the Federal
government which include the one, two
and five dollar bills, a number of the
''shinplasters" of ., 10. Is, % and 80
denominations, and numerous coins of
the earliest issues of this and foreign
governments.

WARNING OUT TO SAL00NlSTS
Maryland Judge Says They Must be
Residents a Year to Get License.

At Cumberland Judge Robert Hen
derson sounded note of warning Mon,
day to West Virginia saloonists in de-
livering his charge to the grand jury
when the Allegany county court con-
vened.
The court declared that now that the
prohibitory amendment had been carried
in West Virginia he had been informed
that there would be a great influx of
of saloon keepers from that state
across the border line into Maryland.
He added that the laws of Maryland re-
quired years residence in MARYLAND
before liquor license could be issued
and that all false swearing on the part
of applicants for licenses would be sum-
marily dealt with.

County School Commissioners Plan
ming One for OAKLAND.

The School Commissioners of the
county were in session in Oakland last
Friday afternoon and Saturday; all
members of the board were present, and

the blizzard of last Friday.
The meeting was devoted principally
to the payment of bills.
The Commissioners have several
scholarships in the Frostburg State
Normal which they will be pleased to
grant to anyone desiring to attend that
institution.
The plan for large summer school at
Oakland was discussed. 1t is intended
to devote it wholly for teachers or those
who intend to teach. 1t will likely be
conducted beginning June End. for five
or six weeks, including the usual insti-
tute. Several instructors from colleges
and universities are being correspondent
with, with the purpose of having them
in the corps of instructors. The domi-
nate purpose of the school will be to
give teachers opportunities for improve
ment, to acquaint them with the needs
of the county. and to unite all depart
ments of our educational system for de-
velopment of manhood and womanhood
among the pupils of our county. The
Commissioners have requested Supt.
Rathbun to be principal of the school.

Work is not as plentiful this winter as
last. Many buildings have been built,
others are under construction, still for
the amount of people here (near three
thousand), there should be more. No

STATES HIS POSITION
rir. Straus Makes Ringing Declara-
ton on the Temperance Question.

Hon. Isaac Lobe Straus. candidate
for the long term in the United States
Senate, has injected the temperance
issue into Democratic politics by his re-
ply to the Ants Saloon Leagues ques-
tons.
Mr.. Straus does not come out for pro-
hibition or against the saloon. In fact
he expressly says that sentiment is not
for prohibition. But he declares I'M
equivocally for the simple, fundamental
rights of the people to govern and pro-
tect themselves on the liquor question
the same as anything else. He warns
the liquor men, however, by saving that
if the right to vote locally is denied the
people they will force prohibition for
ward as an imminent issue.
To the five questions that were also
asked of Hons. John Walter Smith, j.
Fred C. Talbot and Blair Lee, the
present recognized candidates, Mr..
Straus is the only one who has replied
to date. His reply. which is quite full,
is, in brief:
% That the people of the state
should be protected in the enforcement
of their valid police laws and that he
favors the Kenyon Sheppard bill or any
similar interstate liquor shipment bill.
e. That the people of Maryland have
the right to vote on the liquor question
free from complication with any other
issue whatsoever.
(3) That he favors the passage of a
general law providing for the exercise
of such right.
(4) That legislators who claim to be
in favor of local option should yield
something in matters of detail to the
majority of those who stand for such
passed.
o. That it is the duty and the part
of wisdom for the Democratic party to
let the people decide this question. con-
veying very clearly the idea that it is
foolish as well as wrong for the Demo-
cratic organization to expose the party
defeat and disruption in order to protect
the special interests of the liquor traffic.
With reference to this reply Superin-
tendent Anderson of the Anti-Saloon
League says:
Mr.. Straus' letter has changed the
political map over night. 1t is the first
time that any big Democrat who is
active IN politics has taken an unequivo-
cal stand on the temperance issue.
Since the liquor interests with their
usual stupidity will oppose Mr.. Straus
because ofithls declaration, the temper
ance question is certain to be the main
issue in Maryland politics this year, and
the candidates who do not take similar
position will be understood to be bidding
for the liquor vote. The only way the
Democratic party can avoid split is to
get right on this question and since the
Progressive party cannot allow pro-
gressive Democrat to beat it in progress
siveism, and since the Republicans can
not afford to be left out in the cold, the
chances are that the politicians of all
parties will try to save trouble. and
delay state prohibition by declaring for
the passage of the local option bill.
