THE FAIR NEXT WEEK
With Good Weather Oakland Expects
A Monster Crowd.

The stage is all set for the Third
Annual Garrett County Fair which
will be held four days next week, be-
ginning on Tuesday with a monster
parade of the returned soldiers from
the World War, the parade to be MARI
shalled by Major Clarence F. Shaw
who will have as his aides officers who
were engaged in the conflict. 1t is
hoped that every man will come to
the Fair dressed in his uniform, so
that the parade will be a credit to the
men and to Garrett county, for this
county furnished man-power to the
limit for the winning of the war, and
now the home folks wants to see how
in a small degree, it was done. The
parade on Tuesday will convey to the
minds eye an army in miniature if
the men respond as they are desired
by the citizens of the town and the en-
tire county. The Salvation Army las
sizes vii be present to serve doughnuts
as they did at the front.
The succeeding days of tn Fair will
be as interesting to the masses as the
first day if the weather is propitious,
and there are hopes that it will be.
A report has been circulated in va
rious parts of the county that there
is an epidemic of influenza prevailing
in Oakland and that up to yesterday
more than half dozen deaths as
result of the epidemic had taken place,
Oakland is extremely healthy. Not
a case of influenza has been reported
to the health authorities within the
past week. With this condition pre-
vailing those desiring to come to the
Fair next week may do so without
risk so far as an epidemic of influenza
in Oakland or its vicinity is concerned.

NEW GAS RATE SOON IN EFFECT
Consumer Will Pay as High as q
Cents Per Thousand Feet

Effective at the time the reading Of
meters in October, and not prior to
the oath of that month consumers of
natural gas in Oakland, Loeb Lynn
Heights, Mountain Lake Park, Deer
Park and other points in this neigh
borhood who are served with the pro-
duct by the Northern Natural Gas
Company, will be called upon to pay
largely increased rates, consumers of
more than thirty thousand feet each
month being at disadvantage in that
the company, if it should elect, under
the proposed new rates, which have
been filed with the Public Service
Commission of the State, may without
further notice cut such consumers off.
The proposed rate, copied from
notice posted at the office of the gas
company in Oakland, operates up
ward, that is the more gas one con-
sumes each month, an additional
charge for each 5000 feet is made. as
follows:
For each of the first 5000 feet con-
sumed in any one month, as cents per
thousand cubic feet, and an increase
of five cents on each additional 5000
feet until the amount reaches rs cents
per thousand, which latter figure con-
templates the consumption of 10000
feet per month when the company, as
above stated, should the rev rates
be approval by the Commission, may
refuse such consumer further supply.
This price would seem prohibitive
for heating purposes and it is tie sup
position that in the great majority
of cases consumers after the close of
next months reading of the meters
will use the product for lighting and
cooking only.

A KEEN HUNTER AT 80
Uncle" William Sines Expects This
To Be Good Season for Game

1
"Uucle" William Sines, of near
Sines Postoffice. located in District
No. 6, Garrett county, about seven
miles down the Big Youghiogheny
River from Oakland. was in town
few days ago where he applied for
>and received hunters license for the
present year from Clerk of the Cir
cult Court E. 2. Tower. This of it
self is not unusual, for "Uncle" Will
liam has always been a hunter and
whether or not hunters license was
required under the laws of the Com
monwealth of Maryland, he has al
ways in season given a good account
of his proves with his old smooth
bore rife, made by hand before the
days of the distance sights were even
though of by the manufacturers of
the modern and classy fire arms. The
remarkable part of the matter is this:
Uncle" William will soon round out
his ninety-eighth year. He is supple.
and we'll preserved and a walk of ten
miles or more at a stretch is as moth
ing to this remarkable old man. His
mind is as clear as it was half a CEN
fury ago. He was veteran of the
Civil War and endured the hardships
common to the soldiers of that period
and now after more than fifty years
from the close of that conflict one
may see him with his rifle ready for
quick shot at anything in the game
line should one be in the vicinity
Whsle he has his regular hunting
trails. Of this incident the Baltimore
Sun of Monday contained the follow
ing item:
"Since the days of dim antiquity.
even before Grover Cleveland was
familiar figure on the Susquehanna
flats in the ducking season, Maryland
has been noted for its good hunting
and its ndntsmen. The traditions
still are being maintained and Mary
land makes the claim that she has the
oldest licensed and active huntsman
in the United States, barring Ken
lucky, perhaps, on account of Ken
tuckys grand young man of 131 sum-
mers.
THE record holder is William Sines.
of the town of Sines, in Garrett coun-
ty, who is only SO years old and still
going strong, A hunters license was
issued to him few days ago by f. Z.
Tower, Clerk of the Court, and he an
ticipates great hunting season
along the Youghiogheny and Deep
Creek and along the ridges of Roman
Nose, Lewis Knob and Hooppole
Ridge.
Uncle William has been hunts
man all his life and nearly all varie-
cites of game in that country have
fallen victims to the rife or shotgun
of this Nimrod of the Alleghenies."

FOUND DEAD UNDER AUTO
Prosecuting Attorney Dunn, of King
wood, Killed Sunday Morning.

The dead body of Vester B. Dunn,
prosecuting attorney of Preston coun-
ty, West Va, whose home is at King
wood, was found beneath the wreck
age of his Ford car at a point on the
road leading from Lenox, near Bruce
ton, to Kingwood, about daylight on
Sunday morning.
Mr.. Dunn, who was an enthusiastic
member Of the Knights of Pythias,
had gone to the little town of Pisgah
in Preston county, where on Saturday
night he delivered an address to the
lodge at that place, leaving about II
O'Clock in his Ford car for his home.
He was unaccompalied ana it is be-
lieved that in making a turn to allow
another car to pass on the road he lost
control of his machine and it ran up
on the bank skirting the roadway and
upset catching the victim beneath it
and crushing him to death. He was
elected to the Office in 1916. Mr.. Dunn
was aged 35 years and is survived by
his wife and two children.

Barn Near Grantsville Burned,

The barn of John H. Folk, whose
farm is located about three miles west
of Grantsville, was burned to the
ground on Saturday evening, making
fruitless the efforts of number of
men to extinguish the flames. The
day had been particularly busy one
at the farm, number of men having
been engaged in filling a silo, and it
is supposed that sparks from the en-
CINE ignited the roof of the build
ing which caused the disasterous blaze
consuming all the hay, oats, ETC., rep
resenting the entire summers harvest
from the farm. While the livestock
and machinery were saved, the loss
to Mr.. Folk will amount to several
thousands of dollars, which is only
partially covered by insurance.
