managing owner of the schooner Eliza
beth Clarke, states that the vessel is
high and dry ashore in the upper end OF

were unusually high, and when they
dropped off to normal the Clarke was
left on a bank. which is ordinarily above
the water. and forty or fifty feet away
from water deep enough to float her. Mr..
Clarke has arranged to have the vessel
dug off. but. as she is lying where a
dredging machine could not work, the
digging Of the trench to the vessel wi
have to be done by hand and it will
a week or two before she will be float
The Clarke left here before Christn
to go to river point to load lumber IL

Mattox for harbor. When the report
that she had gone ashore was first re-
ceived here. 1t was thought that her

Special Correspondence Of The Star
EVANSVILLE, Md, January 10, 1914.
The provision of the act of 1912 pro-
hibiting the use of traction engines on
any Of the highways constructed by the
state authorities has worked great
hardship. it is said, upon the farmers in
southern Maryland, who have been I'M
able to get their crops thrashed The
farmers have complained that this pro-
vision works great inconvenience and
loss. as persons with thrashins ma
chimes cannot reach the farms, and in
some cases wheat, ETC., has to be carried
several miles to be thrashed. The law
applies only to macadam or concrete
roads. Delegate T. Van Clagett pro-
poses to introduce at the present session
Of the legislature bill amending the
present state roads laws so as to permit
eng mes and thrashing machines used
solely for thrashing purposes to use the
state roads when going to and returning
from a farm where thrashing is to be
