DESCRIBES TRAGIC DEATH OF
GOVERNOR FRANCIS THOMAS
Mr.. Charles NJ. Miller, Who Is Well
Acquainted with the Facts, Makes


Mr.. Charles NJ. Miller, of Keyser,
formerly of Garrett county, where he
resided for a number of years and is
thoroughly acquainted with the facts
concerning the death of the late Gov
ernor Francis Thomas, of Maryland,
who was killed on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad at or near Frankville,
station located on the Seventeen
mile Grade, writes the Baltimore Sun
as follows:
"In your recently published account
of the laudatory proceedings at the
unwilling of portrait of the late
Governor Francis Thomas, in the
House of Representatives, at Annap-
oils, Maryland, appears an error well
calculated to prove misleading and
confusing even to close posterities. He
was not killed in any voyage beyond
our own shores. That was a strange
mistake. In the administration of
President Grant, Governor Thomas
was commissioned plenipotentiary
from this country to Peru. He filled
the term of his appointment and, in
refreshed health, returned to his pic
turesque home, Mont Alto, which he
had erected on commanding noun
tain slope facing the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad at point near Frank
vile station in Garrett county. This
home was a part of the princely hold
ing of $4,000 acres he had acquired
in what is now Garrett county, Mary
land.
january %, 1876, Governor Francis
Thomas, in plain view of his Mont
Alto residence, was leisurely walking
down the steep grade over the south
bed of the double track of the rail-
road. He had just turned very
acute curve while heavy freight
train was climbing the steep grade of
the westbound track. The roar Of
the freight train prevented his hear
ing two engines, one coupled to the
other, gliding almost without any
steam around this sharp curve over
the Seventeen mile grade" In a
twinkling he was caught by the pilot
at the back and so lightly tipped to
grass plot that, it was believed,
serious injury would not have follow
ed, had the back of his head not
struck the end of an iron rail pro-
truding from a pile on the fiat. With
this exception no other cut or break
was on the body. The remains were
taken to Frederick county for inter-
ment in an ancestral cemetery.
"The statement in the Annapolis
ceremonies that he met death at sea
is an error and at variance with the
actual occurrence"

CIRCUIT COURT PROCEEDINGS
Three Boys Sent to st. Mary's Indus
trial SchOOl-Other Matters.

Last Tuesday afternoon Chief
Judge A. Hunter Boyd came up to
Oakland from Cumberland to hear a
habeas corpus proceeding in which
Bertha Mclean sought to regain
possession of her infant daughter
who has been cared for since the
death of its father by Mr.. and Mrs.
Dougald Mclean, of McHenry. After
hearing the testimony in the case the
Court dismissed the petition of the
mother and ordered that the child be
left in the care of its grandparents.
Judge Boyd also entered an order
requiring L. Waingold to pay a fine
of 5000 and costs for having unlaw-
fully sold intoxicants. Waingold was
found guilty upon this charge at the
recent term of court at which time
the Court reserved sentence.
Judge Boyd also sentenced Andrew
Wolfe, David Glaze and Floyd John
son, who had been found guilty at the
regular term of court of having bur-
glarized number of business places
in town, to st. Mary's Industrial
School for Boys until they arrive at
the age of q years.
On Monday the regular non-jury
term of the Circuit Court convened
with Associate Judge Wagaman pre-
siding and at which the case of Fra
zee VS.. Merrill, for an alleged breach
of contract was taken up. The case
grew out of saw mill operation
conducted on the Merrill farm near
Oakland by Messrs. Frazee, Black and
Giles. The owners of the property
contended that the contract made by
the operators had been violated. The
Court, by its verdict ruled that the
milling concern should furnish the
Merrills with 10000 feet of mer-
charitable lumber and that the lat
ter should pay the milling company
the sum of 1900.

That Small Town Stuff.

Monday noon two young ladies
dressed up in all their new spring
fnery, and even new brand OF
rouge disfgurlng their faces, were
parading down the street, noses up
in the air, a working girl passed,
hatless and wearing a winter coat
one of the couple remarked in hear
ing distance, "well If that isn't
small town stuff, I'll eat my hat
winter coat and bare head" And
the lady in question can we'll re-
member when they we're born and
can truthfully say that neither o.
them have been fifty miles away
from home. And it is well for the
fair sex who would be a little catty
TO confne their remarks to the
privacy Of their rooms, and not
scatter them broadcast on the street,
especially when they are products
of a small town and their know
ledge OF city life and ways is limited
to the pictures of the bright lights
flashed on the screens.

Enthusiasm is fine. So is ideal
ism. So is optimism. So is falth.
SO is vision. So are a whole lot OF
other things. But always keep one
foot on the ground, Too many OF
us are given to flying to extremes.
We lack ballast. We often let our
dreams run away with us. We lost
all sense of perspective and proper
ton. When things are going well
with us we conclude that they Will
ALWAYS continue to do so, and we
accordingly neglect to provide sate-
guards against a reversal of for
tune. The business concern which
are in direct straits today are those
that oyershot the mark most during
the boom.< They failed to look
ahead. They reckoned upon pros
perity lasting forever. A good
many of us do the same thing.
After all, plain, ordinary gump-
tion is the greatest asset In the
world. Gumption embraces level
headedness, judgment, stability
power to hold on, rational but mol
blind optimism, reasonable but not
unreasonable selfreliance, alertness
to the value of looking before you
,ad and of counting the cost be-
fore you run UP a bill. Let Us
1hilosophize; yes. But let us not
forget that before we can philoso-
phize faithfully, we must first buc-
kle down to the workaday task OF

Girl Scouts.

The Girl Scouts, a dozen in all
held their regular meeting Monday
evening, April 18th. Each girl
was examined for the Tenderfoot
test and all passed but two, next
meeting will finish the first test.
On the second test the girls are
planning a hike and the program
will be varied and never ironclad,
and adapted to fill the needs of the
special girl. Most of the activities
of the Scouts will be of the nature
of play. Plap is always a means
ito mental and physical development.
The best play leads towards adult
forms of leadership, cooperation,
entertaining, artistic execution and
community service.
Sunday afternoon if the sun
shines the Girl Scouts will all meet
with their captain and she will take
pictures of the group for their scrap
books. Girl Scouts who responded
to roll call we're, Winnie Barrett,
Marian Dick, Dora Crete, Helen
Bruce, Gladys Goodall, Thelma
James, Josephine Horgan, Margaret

REAL SPORT EVENT
Staged HERE FOR
EARLY NEXT month

The friends of Oscar Hitler and
Curly Kelso have promoted box
ing match between them, to be
held in Mountain Home on May II.
The match will be conducted under
the auspices OF the state boxing
commission, with referee and judges
from outside of town, and there will
also be an interesting program OF
preliminaries arranged. 1t is stated
that there is a side bet of $1,000 on
the outcome of the match and that
the money has already been put up.
Hitler and Kelso are the leading
local exponent of the manly art and
there has long existed sharp diff
ference of opinion among fight fol-
lowers as to their respective merits,
which the coming battle is expected
to settle for all time. They have
met in the squared circle only once,
at Grand View two weeks ago, and
on that occasion Hitler won de-
cisively with a knock out in the
third round. Hitler is apparently
the favorite in the betting on the
coming bout.

PEOPLE SHOULD
GET into Spirit
OF CLEAN Up WEEK

The city council has issued an
order for cleanup week, starting
next Monday. 1t is the intention OF
city officials to enforce the order
and to insist that everyone clean
up all the rubbish around their
places and have it hauled away. 1t
would be a great thing for Mount
ain Home if every property owner
would enter fully into the spirit of
the work and give his place thoro-
cleaning and polishing, and then to
wind up the good work would spread
a few gallons of paint on his build
ings. There has been no paint
ing done in town for the past three
or four years, with few notable
exceptions, and if we should all get
busy with the rake and paint brush
for even a few days it would make
an almost unbelievable improvement
in the appearance of the town.

The Future Food Supply.

Ever since the days of Malthus
people who like to worry have been
fearful that the human race would
starve to death. To such the re-
cent report of the United States
census bureau should come as a
sedative. There are now 351a per-
sons to each square mile in America.
That means about ninety acres for
every family.
Even in the most populous areas
there is still plenty of elbow room
Little Rhode Island, most densely
populated of the states, still has
more than an acre of land for every
person. New York, with its i'm
mense population, has only forty
families to the square mile.
And every indication Is that the
ingenuity Of man in producing en-.
ables him to increase his food sup
ply in ratio vastly greater than that
of the increase of population. The
day Is far distant when we shall
have to consider curbing our desi re
for good, wholesome, homegrown
food.
But, at that, 1t still is interesting
to read of the experiments which
that odd genius, Henry David Thor
eau, conducted on the banks of Wal
den pond Equipped with spade
and few seeds. Thoreau showed
how trifiing is the effort required a

the crop which he raised. and raise
no more than he ate, and not ex.
change 1t for an insufficient quaint.

things, he would need to cultivate
only a few rods of ground"

Time for Garden Work.

Everybody with garden, or
with a plot of land that can be con-
verted into a garden, either has
started work or is planning to do So
Some of the "early birds" who did
little planting during the warm
days two or three weeks back can
boast they already have green stuff
growing in their gardens, but old
and experienced gardeners will tell
YOU that little or nothing is gained
by these early starts, the gardens
planted little later will DO IS
we'll. or even better. 1t takes warm
weather and warm rains, in other
words, to make garden stuff tAriye
and jump, and this is the way 1t
must grow in order to insure good
quality and satisfactory yield. And
the right kind of weather for gar
dens yet is to come although 1t
should arrive pretty soon now.
More persons will make garden
this year than ever before it is
claimed, "and there's a reason, as
the old saying goes. Conditions
during the war got a lot of people
into the home garden business who
never tried it before, and having
formed the habit most of these per-
sons are inclined to stick to it..
Others. moreover are led by the
force of example into trying their
hand at gal'den work, and thus the
crop of gardeners materially has
been augmented. 1t is most fas-
cinating work for those who once
get interested in it, and the pleasure
and satisfaction of making things
grow afford a kind of enjoyment
that nothing else can furnish. Also
there are actual profits and advant-
ages to be taken into consideration,
so that altogether there is no lack
of inducement to make a garden,
where the facilities are at hand.
A garden is very practlcal
thing. but there also are chances
for experiement and scientific in
vestigation for those who are so in
cEned. Whether for pleasure or
profit, however, or with view OF
combining these objects, everyone
who has the chance and the time
should give some attention to gar
dening. even though 1t is only in o
small way. A garden makes Tor
good citizenship, good health, good
spirits, good living and economy
and those who engage in this line
of work never fail to get returns
that represent most handsome divl-
dends. Get into the garden game
therefore, if you are not in IL al
ready, and you never will regret IT,

Our Fortunate Climactic Conditions.

Idaho and Idaho people again
have an opportunity to call them
selves fortunate. After reviewing
the accounts of the storm swept
middle west and east, the minute
blizzards and wind storms we have
experienced this winter fade into
insignificance. Protected by the
Rocky mountains to the east that
territory west to the broad Pacillc
ocean, never experiences the terrible
storms that sweep over the great
plain states, east to the Atlantic
ocean and north and south to Can
ada or the Gulf of Mexico. These
mountains form natural barriers
which the worst storms cannot cross.
The combination of snow, sleet
and rain hurled with the force OF
fifty mile gale behind it paralyzed
the central west and the eastern
states the latter days Of last week.
In the south tornadoes hurled death
and destruction. Lives were lost
and there was property damage
running into the millions OF dollars
West of the Rocky mountains,
this protected territory enjoyed mild
spring weather and sunshine, Spring
in all of it's glory was blooming
forth. plows were turning over the
rich soil of grain fields, the trees
leaving out and the orchards IN
bloom. The contrast was SO striK-
ine that it has again served to IL
mstrate to the people of the inter
maintain and Pacific coast states
that they are favored with a re-
M arkable climate and that even
their worst storms are but tenn.
nest in teapot in comparison to
those experienced by our neighpors
to the east of us with whom we
have the greatest sympathy and to
whom we are willing to extend a
helping hand when they are prost-
rated by such storms as they ex-
perienced last week.
