THE ELECTRIC LINE
ASKS FARE INCREASE
Hearing On Passenger Tariffs Had Be-
fore The Interstate Commerce
Commission

The application of the Washington,
Baltimore and Annapolis Electric
Line for increased passenger fares was
laid before the Interstate Commerce
Commission yesterday following the
action of the Maryland Utilities Com
mission in refusing the right to raise
the passenger rates in Maryland. W.
l.. Marbury and T. p. Littlepage made
the argument for the company, and
movement in behalf of commuters liv-
ing in Maryland.
Mr.. Marbury frankly told the Com
mission the company was following
the wishes of the National Railroad
Administration in seeking to raise its
passenger fares to place them on a
par with passenger rates on the steam
lines now controlled by the govern
ment. He said the company had re-
ceived letters from the Railroad Ad-
ministration asking that steps along
this line be taken. Mr.. Marbury
admitted. he could not make the
plea on the ground of need for in
creased revenue. He said the reve-
nue. of the company had increased
over the increased operating expenses.
Mr.. White, in opposing the higher
rates, contended that the Washington,
Baltimore and Annapolis Line was not
in large measure a local competitor
of the steam railroads. He said the
latter did not care much for the
local traffic. He also claimed that the
Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis
Line was a Maryland intrastate line,
as its tickets always carry a coupon
for the ride inside the District line.
There he claimed, the Interstate Com
merce Commission was without juris-
diction in the case.
Mr.. White filed with the Commits
sion statement showing the earnings
and operating expenses of the electric
line taken from the record of the hear
ing before the Maryland Public Utili-
ties Commission

BAR PLEDGES WAR
AID TO AMERICA
Mr.. &. &. Magruder Makes Historical
Address At Last Nights
Gathering


Mr.. C. C. Magruder. Clerk of the
Maryland Court of Appeals of this
city, was the principal speaker at last
nights session of the Maryland State
Bar Association, which is in annual
convention at Atlantic City.
The patriotism of the lawyers of
| the State was manifest in the adoption
OF resolution pledging the members
TO render all assistance they can in
the world struggle to the government
| and 10 the Maryland lawyers in its
armed forces and to the dependents
of these
Mr.. Magruder, speaking upon the
subject Law Historical Incidents and
Administration" said in part:
I'm Maryland many legal Iuminaries
have well done their part for the ad-
vancement of her people. Our judges
have equaled if not excelled in many
respects the courts of Westminster.
They have met every question of Ma
tional or State Importance they have
been called upon to decide. The law
that is progressive and expansive they
have adapted to its relations and in
terests, in word, good government
in Maryland has been constantly up
held by our bench. Some of their
decisions have been without approval
at times. some have been couched in
fine rhetorical phrases, but in the
whole range of opinions there has as
yet appeared but one poetic quotation,
namely:
Her march is Ger the mountain
wave,
Her home is on the deep,
which is to be found in the opinion
of Chief Judge LeGrand in II Mary
land Reports, 456, in the case of
Hooper VS.. The Mayor and City Coun-
ell OF Baltimore"

MANY PEOPLE VISITED EAGLE
CREEK DURING 1918.

CREEK DURING 1918.
Seventeen thousand, four hundred
ifty-seven visitors registered at
eagle Creek Camp Grounds, on the
Oregon National Forest, between
April is and November 15, 1918,
according to report received by
Forest Supervisor T. H. Sherrard
from Ranger Wiesendanger. This is
about four hundred less than regis
.ered during the summer of 1917.
Since about one visitor in five regis
lers, the total attendance at the
camp-grounds for the past season
vas about eighty-tiye thousand.
Every state in the union was rep
.esented among the visitors regis
erred during the season. People also
registered from eight provinces of
canada, from .ueXico, and nine other
.J.eign countries.
The sunday 4isht preceding Labor
Day three hundred cars were PARKED
At Tie camp siouuas ever Aisnt, and
,usl aI,er noon on LABOR Day six
hundIed nioeen cars we're counted in
-Ae parh. Inc crowd on the grounds
~ tAls lime was estimated at thirty
nye hundred.
The extensive use of these
grounds by the puDlic made it neces-
sary to open up new camping sizes
IN the west side of Eagle Creek, and
Jne-halr mne Of new trail was con-
structed leading TO these sites.
Water has also been piped to this
side OF Tie creek.
During the present season
ranger station in keeping with the
has been constructed on
ne camp grounds from plans
donated by Architect A. L. Doyle, of
Portland. The parking place and
.oop road have been macadamized,
and sixteen new camp stoves con-
5tructed at convenient camping
.pots. There were no serious acci-
dents reported as having occurred
in the park or along the Eagle
Creek trail.
All the picnic tables used on the
grounds have been taken town and
placed In the storehouse for winter.
None of them had been defaced or
injured more than by natural wear
and tear, in spite of the almost con-
stant use they received during the
ieason. The Forest Service plans to
add fifty new tables to the equip
nent next year.
The public has furnished splen-
did cooperation during the present
season, both in keeping campsites
clean and putting out campfres be- /
fore leaving. During the season,
3iXteen parties were requested by the
ranger in charge to come back and
clean up their campsites and put out
the fires which they had left.
The last month a gasoline drag
saw has been in use cutting up a
large number of dead snags on the
camp-grounds to provide firewood
for the use of campers next year.
This wood was placed at convenient
intervals where it is readily accessible
from the various campsites ON the
grounds.
During the huckleberry season
many of the visitors at Eagle Creek
Camp Grounds climbed the Wanna
Point trail, which leaves the Colum-
bia River Highway near Eagle
Creek, fer the purpose of gathering
berries. The register kept at the
i cad of Wanna Point trail shows that
over one hundred eighty-fve camp
RS climbed to the point.
