Thnont Frederick County, Maryland Thursday February 1922

Fewer reports come in. However, /
believe that some teachers are not re-
porting as closely as they might. If
they reported the pupils more closely
I could be of more help to them. In
going over the registers, sometimes
find or names that should have
been reported and were not. In look
ing over the reports last month, I
found that seventy-two schools
(white) reported no names, and four
teen colored schools reported none."
The report of the above conference
is sent to all concerned in the public
school work of Frederick county, so
that they may have an organized and
clearly defined statement of what we
are attempting to achieve in the
schools this year.
Respectfully submitted,

RECORD 24.HOUR SNOWFALL
Baltimore and Washington Isolated by
Big Blizzard

oaltHlOre ana washington Isolated by
Big Blizzard
The Eastern portion of the Unit
ed States, more particularly along the
Atlantic Coast, came in the path of
blizzard that swept over wide area
from Georgia north to the New Eng
land States on Saturday, January %,
1922.
Locally the storm and snowfall did
not amount to much, probably three
inches of snow falling from Friday
might about 10 o'clock to Sunday
morning. Travelling east, the depth
increased until 24.5 inches was reach
ed at Baltimore, Nd, and 80 inches at
Washington, D. c.
The report in the Sunday morning
Baltimore papers says:
Baltimore struggled more and
more feebly last night as the grip Of
the snowstorm tigtened-the biggest
24-hour snowstorm in this section in
the history of the Weather Bureau.
By 8 p. m. 24.5 inches of snow had
fallen since 7 p. m. Friday.
"This was greater than the snowfall
for all three days in the blizzard Of
1899. It has showed an inch an hour
for 25 hours.
"The northeast gale howled on until
late in the night. Baltimore harbor
and Chesapeake Bay were stormbound.
"The city and all neighboring terri
tory, buried under thick snow blan-
ket that grew steadily thicker, slowed
down to a crawl in the afternoon and
at night almost stopped moving.
"Steam and electric railway systems
were paralyzed. Washington and Bal
timore were as far apart as the North
and South Pole.
"Baltimore's street car system died
hardin fact, it never ceased to strug-
gle. But it fought losing battle.
"This storm came up from the sun
ny South just as the blizzard of 1899
did. Somewhere it got mixed up with
a northeast wind bowling along at 20
miles an hour in the city and So miles
an hour along parts of the Atlantic
Coast"
One man was killed and two injured
because of being hit by street cars
while attempting to cross streets In
the binding snowstorm.
Reports from Washington, D. c.,
state the storm was the worst since
the blizzard of February, 1899. The
city was snowbound on Saturday. Tho
Arms Conference suspended because
of the storm. So did Congress. So
did the Courts. Steam road traffic
was demoralized. Street car traffic
was spasmodic down town and para
lyzed in the suburbs. Automobiles,
including taXicabs, were stranded In
huge drifts everywhere. The snow
fall broke all records for depth--it
ranged from two feet up; lit was
breast high in drifts at the White
House. Thousands of Government
employees walked miles to their de-
partments, and some didn't get to
work at all. Pennsylvania Avenue.

An earthquake of greatest intensity
probably $500 to 1900 miles south Of
Washington, was registered early
Tuesday at the Georgetown seismo-
graphical observatory. The quake be-
gan at about 8:25 A. M. and 10 min
utes later the tremors had become SO
pronounced as to throw the register
ing needles off the scale. Rev Fran
els Tondorff, director of the observa-
tory, and one of the foremost earth
quake authorities of the world, said
the quake was enormous"
The quake was also registered on
the seismographs of the Weather Bu-
reau, officials of which describe 1t as
"monstrous." Both machines were
still registering the quake at ten
o'clock.

ESCAPING TAXATION

The idea OF tax-exemption for any
class Of citizens at the expense of an
other class, should be repugnant TO
every American.
And yet there are today some
si5,o00.000.e0o worth Of tax-exempt
bonds and securities outstanding in
this nation and hundreds Of millions
Of new bonas Of this character being
issued by cities, counties and states
each year.
Tax returns show that these issues
are absorbed by the wealthy who pay
not penny's tax on many millions
OF income, Amounts thus lost being
made up by the average citizen and
business man whose tax burden is
doubled.
Here is the first place to start to
equalize the tax bill and President
Harding has urged upon Congress the
necessity Of amending our laws so as
u do away with this inequality in tho
distribution Of tax load.

ices in the rock formations, which the

successfully filled in and sealed over
by ingenious contrivances, so that,
using the rocky outcrops, where pos
sible, as abutment points, a series Of
five concrete dams was thrown above
the falls, which succeeded in effect

during the irrigation season.
The initiation Of the power develop
mont works took place in 1901. when
I. b. Peeslre. lsr1wa as TIE man who
dreamed the vision Of the Twin Falls
irrigation projects. and associates
undertook tho work. At this time the
entire stretch OF country which we
know now as the Twin Falls country
was in ITS original desert condition,
the irrigation works not having been
commenced, and in fact, being hardly
more than more dreams. The only
outlets for any power that might be
produced. practically conceivable at
the time. were 1T the village of sho-
shone. about Thirty miles north, and
perhaps to supply power for the en-
visioDed scheme of an electric rail-
road between the village of Shoshone
and shoshone Falls, affording a side
trip from the Oregon Short Line rail
road. Because necessary capital could
not be procured due to the chimera
Of the outlook. the construction work
was but internationally carried on until
in 1904, the Shoshone Falls Power
company was formed by the same
people to carry on the work. This
company, too, failed of it's object be-
cause Of the difficulties encountered,
and it was not until 1907 that the de-
velopment was finally carried through
to the operating stage by the Kuhns,
who had at that time unlimited means
behind them and who were the con-
structors Of the Twin Falls North Side
Irrigation project They formed the
Great Shoshone & Twin Falls Water
Power company. which continued in
the field Of service until financial diff
ficulties overlook the management.

Of the canyon about eco feet below

The natural conditions of the river
bed and the peculiar formations and
faults found in investigation set up
a very difficult construction problem
which was not to be solved for many
vaars, and required several small
dams te effectively conserve and con
troll the waters. The tunnel through
the rock wall to conduct the water

low. which had been commenced by
the initiators of the project, was driv-
