the deliberations of the body.

Local Coal Finds Ready Market.

Local mines along the Yough river
are being overrun with orders for their
output. In recent years the people of
Oakland and vicinity have depended al
most entirely upon this source Of supply
with the result that teams ard miners
are kept busy especially during the
winter months. The coal from the
mines is as good IN quality as any mined
in the county and that from two Of the
openings compares very favorably with
the famous Georges Creek output.

PRICE OF GAS
MAY Be RAISED
Petition Now Before Public Ser
vice Commission in Baltimore.

Coincident with the failure of gas on
last Thursday afternoon notice was
given consumers of gas in Oakland
that after April lst the rates would be
raised from % cents net per thousand
feet to 81 cents net per thousand feet,
a new schedule of rates having identified
with the Public Service Commission of
the State to take effect upon the GATE
above named, and unless concerted
movement Is made by the consumers
by protest and otherwise to the com
mission the new rates viii in all prob
ability be put in force.
As above stated the pressure Of gas
diminished very perceptioly on Thurs
day afternoon and Friday morning it was
so low that few Oakland people were
able to prepare breakfast About ten
O'Clock Friday 1t failed utterly. While
no actual suffering resulted the incon-
venience to householders and others de-
pending upon it for fuel was very ma
terial
When the gas officials were asked for
an explanation why the gas was off
they gave it as their opinion that the
wells had failed, but later gave other
reasons. Friday evening at late hour
the pressure came on again and on
SATURDAY the normal amount of gas was
in the mains.
At Cumberland the citizens are up in
arms over the proposed raise in rates
and have given notice that they will
protest before the Commission.

MORE THAN two
FEET OF SNOW
Fell In Garrett County and Is
Going off In a Rush.

A snow storm centered over this Sec
ton Of the country Tuesday evening of
last week and on Wednesday morning
it had reached a depthof several inches.
The Snow continued to fall until en-
Saturday morning by actual measure
ment it covered the ground to a depth
of twenty-five inches. Sunday the
second section of the storm struck and
on Monday the total snowfall measured
from thirty to thirty three inches on
level, with the result that buildings be-
came SO overloaded with weight that
in several instances they collapsed.
The building erected a few years ago
by Mr.. S. F. Hamill in which he in
stalled a plaining mill went down Sat-
urday afternoon and on Sunday shed
attached to the barn Of Mr.. w. M.
Frazee fell damaging some wagons and
machinery stored beneath it. A build

erected some years ago BY Fl. B. Ross
also collapsed Sunday morning.
While the thermometer yesterday
morning registered but two degrees
above zero. by noon it reached in the
neighborhood of forty above and last
night ii was still mounting with a rain
storm predicted by the Weather Bureau
for today, which, should it arrive will
take the snow off with a rush and flood

A Bird of Contention.

War has not quenehed the litigious
spirit in all sections, but has rather, it
would seem, intensified it. Out in Ham
mond, Ind. is an instance of the fight
ing tendency carried to the Nth de-
gree. Two neighbors, dwelling in amity,
decided to mate their respective canary
birds and divide the offspring. The
parents inconsiderately presented their
joint owners with five little ones, an
awkward number for division. And all
Of the fedglings survived the early
trials Of canary infancy and became a
subject Of contention which, increasing
from jest to argument and from argu-
ment to threats, at Hast led to the court,
where suit for the ownership Of the fifth
bird has been begun. Each side de-
clares intention to carry the case to the
supreme court Of the state on appeal.
The judge, barred from adopting the
Solomonian method by modern conven-
tions, is nevertheless wisely referring
the case to nature by postponing it for
a period in the hope of visitation Of
Providence that will reduce the nest to
a divisible basis and spare him the pain
Of decision between the claim of the
owner Of the male parent and that Of
the owner of the mother bird. Mean
while there are numerous charities that
urgently need the funds now being spent
in costs and lawyers fees over this
canary chick that after all may prove
to be just another Of those vexatious
silent songsters that hop about in so
many cages in American homes today.
Verify, we are in some respects most

RAILROADS TAKEN OVER.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The President, we believe, has chosen
to take the sane. safe and proper step.
Government ownership is not involved
1t Is government management that is
created 1t is the plan virtually adopt
ed by England. where the government
took possession of the roads and man
aged them. guaranteeing dividends.
From the Baltimore Star.
Control of the railroads and the
operation by the government of the
vast interlocking transportation sys-
tenn of the country should. and doubt
less will make for better co-opera-
tive efficiency.
From the Chicago Herald.
The Presidents decision will be well
coined as ending at least the unneces.
sary uncertainty in this important field
of national industry. And this relief
will probably be appreciated by no one
more than the railroad managers them
selves.
From the Indianapolis News.
No such revolutionary step has been
taken since the outbreak of the war.
1t had been hoped that 1t could be
avoided. There are many who will feel
that II might have been avoided, ana
that the problem could have been
worked out on other lines.

The Republican chairmanship.

The rumored retirement Of Mr.. Will.
cox from the Craftsmanship Of the re-
publican national committee has pro-
dueed some suggestions as to the sue
cessiou. No difficulty should be expert
eneed about securing worthy and com
petent man if vacancy occurs in that
ONCE. In the party, east, west, north.
vest and middle country, are politicians
familiar with campaigning, and with
some exceedingly clever local work to
their credit. More than one of them
was under discussion last year when Mr.
Hughes as the party's presidential nomi
nee was called upon to designate the
campaign manager. Mr.. Wilcox was
designated for personal reasons. He
was unknown to the country at large
but well known and thoroughly trusted
BY Mr.. Hughes; and candidate and man.
ager worked together in perfect accord
Throughout the contest.
As an honor the place has value be.
tween campaigns. But it is not other.

mo policies. The committee seldom
meets.
This is especially true now. In the
stature of things the republican ma
tional committee can do little in the

From the New York Times.
The gain in efficiency should be very
great. notably in two particulars, rout-
ing and the use of terminals. For the
time being, all the railways will be
Joined in one system.
From the New York Herald.
This unihcation Of 100000 miles of
raiiroads-enough to go around the
world at the equator nearly eleven
times-is a gigantic proposition, and
its announcement would be stunning
but for the fact that 1t has been long
under discussion as possible war
measure.
From the New York World.
The resources of the United States
Treasury are thus put behind every
railroad in the country. All legitimate
interests are consulted along with the
supreme interest of an utmost prosecu-
ton of the war. There is the assur-
ance of q new day In fair. dealing for
the roads as well as efifeient dealing
by the roads as common carriers.

congressional campaigns. So that out.
side of making observations, and not.
ing changes in party alignments here
and there. it will not be occupied.
Both the republican candidate and
the platform for 1920 must be produced
by developments, political, financial and
economic, between now and then
Neither could possibly be forced by any
committee activity or influence what
ever. All the "fne work" in the world
would avail nothing. Both the party
and the country are confronted with an
unprecedented condition of things.
If, therefore, Mr.. Wilcox retires, his
successor will attend to some commit
tee routine, preside over the committee
meetings when the time and the place
for holding the next national conven-
tion are fixed, call the national conven-
ton to order when it meets, and then
await the pleasure of the presidential
nominee. If the nominee happens to
be his personal friend, with large con-
fidence in his political judgment and
sagacity, he may be chosen to manage
the campaign. Otherwise. if the can
didate is from another section he is
likely to choose his manager from the
circle of his neighbors and intimate as
sociates; and that man by that choice
becomes the chairman of the new ma
tional committee.
The importance of the Craftsmanship
of a national committee is largely linn
tied, to the time national campaign
is in progress.
