GARRETT COUNTY BOASTS AR
TIFICIAL LAKE OF IS ACRES
Beautiful Body of Water Near Key
ser's Ridge On Purseley Run.

Mondays issue of the Cumberland
Daily News contained the following
relative to a body of water that may
be observed from the National Road at
point just above the bridge which
spans Purseley Run, west of Grants
vile and about midway between that
town and Keyser's Ridge:
"a beautiful artificial lake, EN-.
bracing an area of seventy-fveoacres
has been built in Garrett county dur
ing the past year and is now attract
ing much attention.
at was built by James Todd, a
wealthy varnish and paint manufac-
turer of Pittsburgh, Pa, on Purseley
Run, five miles west of Grantsville,
having a great dam which is almost
within a stones throw of the National
Road.
"Mr. Todd, who is at the head of
the Sterling Varnish Works of Hay
nesville, Pa, with main offices in the
city of Pittsburgh, has spent many
years in hunting and fishing in the
Allegheny mountains in the vicinity of
Keyser's Ridge and it was long his
ambition to own a mountain hunting
and fishing preserve.
Several years ago he bought the
Peter Roger farm of 500 acres and on
that portion of the farm in the vi
entity and bordering on Purseley Run
is the location of his beautiful noun
tain lake.
when seen Saturday by a Daily
News representative, the tenant of
Mr.. Todd's farm, James Meneilly, con-
irmed the prevailing opinion that this
lake is one of the largest in the AL
legheny mountains, having an alti
tude of $500 feet above sea level.
Last autumn Mr.. Todd had 5000
trout placed in the lake which is
equipped with every device to protect
the small fish from the larger ones.
There is a mesh over the spillway
to keep the fish from escaping.
"Mr. Todd spends his weekends on
the lake, bringing friends from Pitts
burgh and vicinity. Two weeks ago
he was visited by delegation from
Cumberland and Frostburg, headed by
Clerk of the Court Lloyd L. Shaffer.
"a group of Frostburgers, who be-
lieve that this lake furnishes an OBJ
ject lesson of what can be done by
building a dam across to obtain a
larger supply of water for Frostourg,
are planning to visit the lake during
the next ten days. The trip may be
arranged by Secretary Todd of the
Commercial Club, who is not connect
ed by ties of kinship with the owner of
the lake, but who thinks a lake along
Savage River would be fine thing.
work on the lake was begun early
last year and will be continued until
all the trees are remOved-there be-
ing many still standing in the water
and the banks are cleared of all
underbrush.
"The people of Grantsville are very
proud that this lake is so near their
hustling little community"

LIGHTNING CAUSES FIRE THAT
DESTROYS BARN ON THE PIX
Frost Farm on National Road, Visited
by Destructive Flames Friday.

W DSotl
Last Friday afternoon about 3:45
lightning struck the barn on the farm
of Mr.. William Turner, formerly the
Thomas W. Frost place, located on
the National Road four miles east of
Grantsville, and completely destroyed
the structure, which was built more
than forty years ago and which had
become landmark in that section of
the county, it's erection. having been
completed while the farm was still
owned and occupied by Mr.. Frost.
In the barn was large quantity of
hay, grain, farming implements and
three calves, the latter having been
gotten out of the building before it
fell in. Just outside the barn when
the bolt of lightning struck it, was a
large hog, which was instantly killed
A loss estimated by Mr.. Turner at
$4,000 was sustained. Insurance to the
amount of $500 was carried on the
building by Mr.. Turner.
AS soon as the fire was discovered a
bucket brigade was organized by Mr.
Turner and his neighbors, which was

METEORIC SHOWERS ARE DUE
TO COME WITH THE COMET
Astronomers Expect then, to Appear
Between June 81 and 30.

Meteoric showers, the result Of the
Winnecke comet, are expected to oc-
cur some time betewen tonight and
June so. They will likely appear in
the early part of the night and will
be interesting to watch through tel
escOpe.
1t was announced by Prof. Claude
H. Hall, Jr., chairman of the astro-
nomical section Of the Maryland
Academy of Sciences, Baltimore, that
the general public will be allowed to
view the showers from the Academy's
telescopes. To do this, of course, il
will require those residing in other
parts of the State to go to Baltimore,
secure tickets of admission, and since
only limited number of tickets have
been printed there is no likelihood of
a grand rush being made by Garrett
countians upon the Office of the Off
Gals of the Academy, and then it is
only predetermined that the showers
will appear.
There will be a number of important
planets in the sky this week. Mer-
curry is an evening star and is very
favorably placed. Venus is now
morning star, drawing away from the
sun and is very bright. Toward the
end of this month she will come in
sight about a. m. Mars is in con-
junction with the sun June 20, but will
be invisible all of this and next month.
Jupiter and Saturn are now close to-
gether in Leo, about six degrees
| apart.

LABOR IS HARD HIT
American Federation Member
ship Loss Over Million.
Had Had Total of Over 4,000,-
600 on Its Rolls.

Washington, Oct 4.-Hard hit by
the industrial depression, the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. faces what is
declared to be the worst crisis in its
history.
The organization which has gloried
in supremacy over the labor move
ment of the world, has SUI
enormous losses in membership, 5
learned today.
Lost Million Members.
According to reliable sources, be-
tween 100000 and 100000 mem
bers have dropped from its rolls since
the beginning of the year. At the
peak of its strength. the organization
had approximately 100000 members
and at the first of the year claimed to
be well on the way to the 5,OOe'O0o
mark.
Altho the affairs of the federation
have reached such a serious stage that
its plight has become common talk in
labor circles here officials, while ad-
mitting big losses as result of the
unprecedented unemployment condl-
tions, deny the number OF members
dropped comes anywhere near the
1 100000 mark.
Pad Organizers "Furloed.'
According to inside information,
the financial stringency of the fedora
ton is such that it has been necessary
to "furlo" all the paid organizers with
few exceptions. An official today de-
clared cit is usual at this time of the
year to lay off or furlo most of the or
ganizers. The same official optim-
istically predicted the federation will
emerge from the storm stronger than
ever"
Internal dissension as manifested by
the resignation of Daniel J. Tobln,
Of 1o Int -
sters' unicn, as a member of the eX-
ecutive council, is also causing much
talk in labor circles Tobin's defec-
ton is regarded as a heavy blow to
Gompers' forces as he and another
influential labor leader are credited
with Saving" Gompers in the fedora
tons last election.
Starts Fight ON Gompers.
Tobin, who resigned at the recent
Atlantic City session of the executive
council, declaring there was too much
talk and too little action" in the fed
Grafton. is said to have written a. letter
demanding that his resignation be ac-
cepted without further delay.
He is reported to be anxious to be
! free of connection of the Gompers
regime in order to carry on fight
against the veteran labor head whom
he so staunchly supported in the past
and to demand more progressive
policies.
It has never been admitted in Of
ficiaI circles of the federation that
Tobin resigned.

JUDGES SAVE FORD FORTUNE
Dismisses Suit Involving $4,000. 900
and Ignition Coil.

Chicago, Oct. A decision which
will mean saving of approximately
$2.O00,000 to Henry Ford was handed
down today by Judges Baker. Evans
and Page in the United States circuit
court of appeals. The decision re-
versed a ruling of Judge A. B. Ander-
son at Indianapolis, awarding dam
ages of almost $2,000.000 to the K. w.
Ignition company for alleged infringe
ment of patent.
The judges ordered that the case be
dismissed on the ground that there
had been no mark of ownership in the
ignition coil involved in the suit and
that no notice of infringement had
been served on the Ford Motor COM
pany. The K. w. Ignition company
had originally supplied the Ford COM
pany with the coil and brought suit
when the motor company began man
ufacturing the coil itself.
