TAX COMMISSION PROBINGI
ROADS IN THIS STATE
Enters Upon Newas Field in Its
Search For MOreiSOurces of
Income.

Next on the list of valuations are the
railroads of Maryland in thei;polcy of
the State Tax Commission in reassess-
ing the real estate of Maryland. Only
the real estate of railroad companies is
included in the plan. Gross'and.net in
come are excluded.
In carrying through thislswork the
Tax Commission has employed experts
whose work will be limited to valuation
of railroad trackage per mile, stations
and other properties Of railroad com
panies which come within the distinc-
tive duty of the Tax Commission in it's
present sphere of operations, namely
the taxation of real estate. The sever
al counties will be called upon to pay
the salaries of the experts employed by
the commission, At the same time the
counties are expected to derive consid-
cradle revenue from the increased val
uation to be derived from this assess
ment.
1t is not proposed at this time,
though this subject may arise later, to
90 into the treasures of railroad com
panies incorporated in Maryland and as
certain the amount of stocks or other
corporations held in these several
treasures and to tax these stocks under
the laws of Maryland. 1t is claimed
that the Western Maryland Railway
Company, under its recent plan Of re-
organization, will have in its treasury
stocks and bonds of subsidiary corpora
tons subject to taxation. The most
difficult problem confronting the Tax
Commission is the taxation of the real
estate and stock of subsidiary corpora
tons of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company. The charter of this
company is a stumbling block to tax
experts.
Of course the main object in view of
the Tax Commission is to find new
sources of income with which to meet
the constantly increasing expenditures
by the state. The commission is also
striving to reduce the tax burdens on

o. II. S. Notes.

Let everybody come out to the High
School Play Thursday night. You will
not only see the dramatic performance
and hear the singing of the students
taking part in the play for very small
sum but you will greatly help to in
crease the efficiency of the High School
in many ways. A word to the wise is
sufficient.
The teachers professional meeting
last Tuesday evening was we'll attended.
All of the high school, six of the gram
mar school teachers, and Miss Ada E.
Baugh, primary supervisor of Garrett
county schools being present. Prof.
Herman A. Ziel delivered a most ex-
cellent address. We believe the teach
ers IN the Oakland vicinity might get
some helpful suggestions if they will
meet with US. Prof. A. D. Appleton
will have charge of the next meeting,
which will be held at the high school
some time during December Announce
ments will appear in due time in this
column.
An atmosphere of gloom peryaded
the high school when the sad news of
the tragic death of Bruce Frazee was
received last Tuesday morning. About
two months ago Bruce enrolled in the
commercial department as a special
student and has made many friends
among the student body. The high
school extends its deepest sympathy to
his parents, and his brother Paul, a
student in the first year class, and to
all other members and friends of his
family.
The high school also extends its sin
cele sympathy to Hollie Casteel, a stu
dent in the second year class, whose
sister died Monday; also to the bereav-
ed parents.

patient in very few minutes. From
the Casteel home he was conveyed to the
hospital where the operation of remov
ing the shot was performed by Drs. Nc
Comas and Hawkins. While it was at
first thought that he would recover
from the injuries inflicted on Sunday
his condition was unfavorable and from
that time until death came to relieve
his intense sufferings he gradually grew
worse and passed away Tuesday morn
ing, esteemed by large circle Of
friends. especially amongst the young
people of Oakland with whom he as
ISOLATED.
He was born at Accident on July IA,
1887, and removed to Oakland with the
family about a year ago. He is survived
by his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. NJ
Frazee, highly esteemed by many, and
by two brothers, Carl and Paul.
The funeral will occur tomorrow (Fri-
daY) morning at TO- 30 o'clock from the
English Lutheran church in Accident.
when Rev. o. A. Bremen, pastor of the
Oakland Lutheran church. will conduct
the services. The interment will be
made IN the German Baptist cemetery
near Accident.

Help The POstmasters.

Postoffice officials desire the active
cooperation of the public in ar effort to
relieve the postal service of the burden
imposed by the growing evil of incom-
pletely and improperly addressed mail.
The delivery of letters. especially in
large cities, is frequently delayed and
oftentimes made impossible by the
omission of an important part of the
address, such as the street number, or
room number when addressed to an Of
flee building. Not lnfrequently the
name of the street is omitted, only the
name of the post office and State being
given, Another source OF trouble Is
the practice of giving an address at the
interesting of two streets without
giving the location of the corner, for in
some large cities number of corrier
routes may terminate at that point or
it may be the dividing line between the
respective territories of the main post
office and station or between two
stations, and in the absence of the
notation IN. E., IN. W. :" etc, the
distributors are unable to determine to
which carrier the mail should be
thrown,

GARRETT COUNTY
WOMAN ASUICIDE
Mrs. Harry Miller, Near Avilton,
Took Her Life Monday.

Brooding over household duties and a
fire that damaged her home near Avil-
ton, this county, earlier in the day,
Mrs. Harry Miller, twenty-four years
old, shot herself to death Monday,
when she fired load of shot into her
stomach with shot gun. There were
no witnesses to the horrible deed, the
mother having sent her little five-vear
old daughter to a neighbours house just
prior to the shooting. Two other small
children were absent from the house at
the time and Mr.. Miller, an Industrious,
hard working young man, was busy at
work on his farm and at a point some
what remote from the house.
The position in which the suicides
body was found and the fact that the
gun was on a table led to the conclus-
ION that Mrs. Miller rested the shot gun
on the table, aimed it at her body and
pulled the trigger. She was dead when
found Surviving besides her husband
and three children are her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Shaw, formerly of Bar
ton, but now living'at Jennings, Md.
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller lived on the
Harshbarger farm on the road to the
right of the Stone House, three miles
towards Aviton. They have resided
there for several years.
Mrs. Miller was subjected to melan-
cholc and frequently became depressed
in spirits.
Monday morning the children were
playing with pile-of papers and set
them afre in the middle of the room.
The rug and floor ignited and it was
with some difficulty sthat the flames
were extinguished. Mrs. Miller was
greatly agitated by the occurrence and
probably became correspondingly de-
pressed later and decided to take her
own life.

had met with his misfortune and where
an operation was performed upon his
reception there.
Ioung Frazee, IN company with Fred.
Trlckett and Patrick Helbig had gone
to the woods Saturday for the purpose
of cunning and while crossing an open
field on the hill adjacent to the home of
Mr.. Truman W. Casteel, a mile out on
the State road the former shot and
wounded a rabbit, Anticipation the

still in range the Helbig boy drew up

represents a wide range Of activity upon
the part of Valentine Grant, who Is
being featured in the production, and
Sidney Olcott, who directed it. During
the course of this production, the COM
pany has travelled from the Canadian
border to Florida. In Florida there
were staged the scenes which take
place in an American lumber camp
and on the Canadian line there were
enacted those portions of the picture
which occur in Scotland. Olcott found
an ideal Scotch settlement for this part
of the picture up near the Canadian
border and as the script called for a
southern lumber camp, he proceeded to
go as far south as he could, in order
to get as big a contrast in the atmos-
phere as possible.

FIRE IN AUTO CALLS
OUT FIRE DEPARTMENT
CAR SLIGHTLY DAMAGED

The Augusta fire department has
been called out to combat all kinds of
fires and in all kinds of places and it
has been called out when there was
no fire at all, but yesterday it respond
ed to a call that was something of a
novelty, to extinguish a fire that had
started in an automobile while the
car was standing on the street. The
call came at $50 from box IS. on the
First National Granite Bank building
at the corner of Water and Oak streets,
and was due to brisk blaze in the
handsome Cadillac roadster owned by
Hon. Charles S. Hichborn, president of
the bank mentioned, which car was
standing in front of the bank.
The department made good run,
and perhaps a little better than usual
because of the alarm being from box
IS, and because as the teams turned
the corner on to Water street the
fame and smoke from the car indi-
Gated a much larger fire than there
really was. 1t took but few minutes
to put the fire out of business and the
damage TO the car was slight, 1t being
confined to the front part. The about
sounded at SIS.
The above fire was not the first
trouble in that line that Mr.. Hichborn
experienced with his car Friday after
noon, for it caught fire at about 2.45
while standing in front of the federal
building on lower Water street, and it
is due to a great extent to the assist
ance of those who undertook to quench
the flames that the car was not badly
damaged or destroyed. A chemical ex-
tinguisher was first secured from a
neighboring store but when it was in
yerted for the purpose of using it the
can was found to be empty. A pyrene
extinguisher was then secured and
with this the fire was quickly STONED
The trouble was said to have been An.

sons eleven by the score Of to 0. The
two teams were very evenly matched
and only a safety gave Coach Thomp

The prospects look bright for a fast

only game the local boys will play
aside from the series of inter-school
games.
The score in Fridays game was
made when Cclgan, quarterback OF

covered it back of the goal line. Coach

possession the greater part Of the time.
