Story of a Dead" City.

The Dry Goods Economist has been
making a little investigation into the
business effect of prohibition upon the
city of Rockford, Illinois, city of 3d.
900 people, large percentage of whom
were foreign born. Every dry goods
dealer interviewed said that he had no
desire to have the city go back to Ii
cense. They could not see that the
saloons drew any business for them IN
to the city, while those who went out
of town on Saturday night to purchase
liquor were, they believed, men with
little money to spend. A drummer do
ing business with these merchants was
asked by the reporter how he was eff
fected, and he answered that twenty
seven of his twenty eight customers
were contented to have the city stay
dry.
If Rockford is dead" city as the
outside liquor men declared during the
recent campaign, it would be a great
boon if some of the Illinois whiskey
cities were killed in the same way.

DAVIS.

Among the lumber towns that lately
came into prominence as a hive of in
dustry and mart of trade, Davis, Md,
takes high place. While this little
town located at the forks of the Cas-
selman, is not as large as many of it's
competitors, there is always something
doing. The place was at one time
known as Cleveland City, but the once
thriving hamlet of that name became
as dead as the statesman in whose
honor it was named, and the new town
that sprang up on the ruins of the old
was named Davis as a compliment to
the firm whose business enterprise
again put the place on the map and
made 1t what it now is, one of the
neatest, most orderly and we'll con-
Quoted lumber towns in the tri-state
territory where most of the lumber
business is now conducted.
The town of Davis has not yet at
tanned sufficient age to celebrate the
first anniversary of its birth, the large
sawmill having started to run late in
1913 and the work of perfecting the
many details of the lumber operation
here has not yet been accomplished.
Davis is located in a beautiful valley
on the banks of the Casselman River
about four miles south of Grantsville
The surrounding scenery is not only
picturesque, but the landscape also
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1914-06-18

shows every sign of prosperity, the
I highway leading from Grantsville to
Davis having furnishing farms highly
/ cultivated on both sides.
I Reaching the town the first object of
interest to strike the visitor is the large
sawmill and extensive lumber yards
connected with it. The supply store
4 between the mill and the main street
and the superintendent residence on a
slight elevation at a short distance from
/ the mill are other features. The
dwellings, occupied by the employees of
the lumber company are neat and
substantial and every house has a plot
of ground 1OOx125 feet surrounding it.
This ground being level and free from
rocks and other Instructions, appears
to be ideal for gardens, and many of
the residents are taking advantage of
these conditions and are cultivating the
soil. There are good substantial plank
sidewalks bordering all the streets.
/ The sawmill is 7Ox15O feet, built sub
stantially and equipped with every
labor saving device that can be found
in the most up-to-date mill. The power
comes from two 60-horsepower boilers
engine to match, and the saw is of the
circular kind with high rate of speed,
so that the capacity of the plant exceeds
$4,000 feet of lumber each day.
The dimensions of the store building
is 2iXl00 feet, two stories high, the
upper story being occupied as a resi-
dence by the manager
. The personnel of the firm and those
connected with the different depart
ments is as follows: The firm of j. B.
Davis of Ursina, senior partner; John
r. Davis, who looks after the interests
of the firm IN West Virginia; Frank W.
Davis, superintendent at Davis, and
Wilbur Davis. VIII Meyer of Williams
port, Pa, is engineer, and has charge
of all matters pertaining to the running
of the machinery S. |. Bowling, is
Mill foreman; Claude Davis, yard fore
man, j. E. Emeigh, saw-filer; D. H.
Messersmith, locomotive engineer and
Charles Speer. fireman. Jacob G.
McClintock, an experienced woodsman,
Is woods contractor and keeps a large
force of men employed and six or seven
teams of horses. The loading in the
woods is done by machinery, under charge
OF Charles Sandy. There are about s.
men employed around the mill and
lumber yard and including Mr.. McClin-
took s force in the woods, trackmen
etc, the whole force will exceed 1OC
men.
Thomas A. Fike is store manager,
and this part of the business shows
every sign of good management, the
merchandise, store and all the sur
roundings being kept in good shape.
The employees of J. B. Davis & Sons,
at Davis, are an intelligent and in
dustrious class of men and the very
best of conduct can be seen at all times
where they congregate. Republican

BOULEVARDS OF
PARIS DISAPPEAR
Streets in Promenade Section
Suddenly Drop

Paris, June IS During a ter
rifiu rainstorm a portion of the Rue
du Faubourg, Saint Honore palace and
the ministry of the interior caved in
and six persons were rescued with
the greatest difficulty.
Sides of excavations on the Place
de la Concorde, the Boulevard Hauss-
mann and the metropolitan tunnel
collapsed in places and traffic had to
be suspended.
Gas and electric connections were
broken and this caused several ex-
plosions. A taXicab was engulfed in
the Place Saint Augustin, but the
chauffeur and his passenger were
rescued.
The Place Saint de Philip Roule
was engulfed for a distance of $500
feet and the cavein was sixty-fve feet
deep.
The locality where the accident oc-
Cured is one Of the most fashionable
in Paris, and is a favorite afternoon
promenade for the Partisan "boule-
Warbler" 1t contains a number Of
modish shops and exclusive cafes and
is one of the most crowded quarters
in the city.
The terrific winter which Paris has
undergone, supplemented by hard
rains for week past, is believed TO
have so weakened a portion Of the
huge sewer system, which unierlies
Paris like a catacombs, to a point
where it collapsed, engulfing the

Flies are A Peril.

Typhoid fever is a summer danger on
account of flies. This dangerous dis
ease and other intestinal troubles are
largely due to the little insects that are
permitted to buzz around your kitchen
and dining room table. One fly has
been found to have enough typhoid
fever germs on its feet to inoculate a
dozen persons. How do you know that
the fly that sips from your glass of
water or milk may not be typhoid
