ALMOST CLEAR OF ICE.
ALI Tributaries to Potomac Likely
Soon to Be Navigable.

Reports received from down-river
state that the creeks tributary to the
Potomac that are not now free of ice
will be open few days and vessels
then can come and go as desired if the
winds are favorable. Along the river
proper there Is hardly a cake of ice
to be seen. and no new ice has made
in the past forty-eight hours. River
men. however. say February is the most
trying month Of the entire winter In
recent years. IL is asserted. the coolest
weather and the most ice of the win
ter were encountered in February, but
there is one satisfaction about ii, they
say. and that is February freeze can
not last long, as the sun is gaining
more power each day.
In the harbors down-river the big
feet Of wood and lumber runners that
have been laid up since early in De-
cember are being made ready for
service, and if no cold weather comes
early in February it is probable they
will go into commission and will be
coming into port with wood and lumber
cargoes.

Down and Out

The bum comes trembling to
your door. he's starved and cold
and weak and sore. Through
whiskers full OF snow and ice, he
humbly begs YOU for the price.
No doubt he is a lazy skate, who
never tries to pay the freight; no
doubt he loais on summer DAYS,
when every busy farmer pays a
handsome wage to those who'll
toll. and push the ploughshare
through the soil. No doubt he is
a chronic shirk. who has it in for
honest work. No doubt the ko-
peck you bestow will to the grog
dispenser go. Yet loosen up, nor
ask the DO if Rum has brought
him down so low. And can the
helpful moral spiel that you have
wound upon your reel. all suffer-
ing to be unwound: for snow is
deep upon the ground, and bitter
is the winter air. and hunger
means bleak despair. Jack up.
the beggar man in May. ii he
won't help to put up hay: but
when he teeters to your door. to
touch YOU for dime or more.
upon freezing winter morn. dig
up, dig up, nor point with scorn.

The District Boundary.
0 the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
The article in The Star of the 18th
instant relative to the invitation of
Rev. John Van Schaick to the District
Commissioners to walk the eastern
boundary line of the District of Co
Iumbia with him and suggesting the
establishment of walking the
Boundary Line Sunday" has attracted,
and will attract, more attention than
would at first seem probable.
The original stones marking the
boundary line between the District and
Maryland are very generally in place
and plainly visible. but not all of them.
If the Rev. Van Schaick walked the
line as stated in his letter, he passed
the stone dividing Prince Georges and
Montgomery counties at the point
where that dividing line is supposed
20 meet the District boundary. but the
man who owns the land on which the
stone stands told me that he was pres
ent when it was placed there and he
knows the line was not surveyed, and
the stone was planted without positive
knowledge of the correct location
in other words it was placed there on
guess.
These stones, placed so many years
ago. are like historical records and
should be preserved in their original
positions. They are, or should be, very
interesting to every resident of the
District. and especially SO to the school
teachers and school children of the
city, and if this line, from the south
east corner to the north point of the
District. was improved by wide street
or boulevard as shown on the com
pleted map of the District. 1t would
It once become very popular route
for Sunday mixers" or Wander
lusters" horseback riders and automo-
bilists, and this can be done from the
north point of the District to Rhode
Island avenue on good ground. without
crossing the river. This is a very
desirable improvement. and the people
of Forest Glen. Woodside. Silver
Spring. Takoma Park and all along
that line, both inside and outside the
District. as far as Mount Rainier and
Woodbridge, should feel lively inter
est therein and urge the Commission
ers to recommend the building of a
boulevard ALBERT H. DAVIS.
