The ordinary recurrence of floods is
thirty years, according to the flood
committee. But it was pointed out,
a torrent of water exacting heavy
toll flowed over parts of the city in

waterways and clearing of channels,
made first in the upper reaches Of the
highways, a flood may come at any
time.

''It will occur in the spring of the
year, probably within twenty years."

Big Railroad improvements.

Announcement has been made offici-
ally that extensive railroad improve
ments are to be made in Hagerstown
by the Pennsylvania and Norfolk and
Western Railroads. These two sys-
TENS have for some years been very
closely connected, anditi rumored that
the Pennsylvania will in the near fu-
ture absorb the N. & w., as it has
done with the old Cumberland Valley
Railroad. The improvements referred
to, and which will be commenced in
the near future, will include a terminal
for engines-round-h house, water sta
ton, coal chutes, etc. Heretofore il
has been necessary for all trains and
engines of the NJ & w. TO run into
Hagerstown over the Pennsylvania
tracks, the engines being taken to the
round-house of the latter road near
North Junction. With the proposed
new terminal in use, N. & w. engines
would 60 no further north than the pas
senger station.
Rumors are prevailing that a new
passenger station and an extensive sys-
tenn of repair shops will follow the con-
struction of the terminal above referr-
ed to.

whose orchard is situated along Apple
Pie Ridge, said that after the frost he
would have taken S10O for this sea-

NGRATITUDE.

SCtaoole, may IL, 1922.
Register, Shcpherdstown-Dear Mr..
Snyder-After having read several SIAN
derous articles about Scrabble, we de-
eided to write you and ask you to speak
Kindly OF our town, for il is dead
place.
Very truly,
COMMITTEE.
ms is what we call ingratitude.
atteI having done so much to nut
SCRABBLE on the map, and brought It's
lively happenings to the attention of the
people Of the whole country, all in the
kindest spirit, II hurts our feelings 10
nave the accusation hurled at the Reg
ister that It's articles are slanderous.
We utterly deny the allegation. How
could we speak more kindly? Even in
noting the shocking death of Andy
ways Cow We referred to the bereaved
orphan calf in a manner that brought
tears to the eyes of our readers as FAR
west as Pittsburgh, north TO Boston and
south TO Atlanta. Our reporters will
bear us winess that the news items thev
have brought or sent to us have bean
treated in the most friendly manner,
The most prominent residents of the
village have assured us OF their in
creasing interest in the Scrabble news
and learned to look forward to IL in tho
! columns Of the Register with the great
| est pleasure. Only a few days aIo
one OF the most charming ladies Of the
community said she was proud Of the
fact that we are making her home town
noted place. Because Of the pleas
ant prominence the Register has given
Scrabble II is being inquired about by
people from every section OF the country,
and We have no doubt that If a good
summer hotel should be erected there
II would be Immediately filled with vic
itors. With an electric road from Mar
tinsburg and Shepherdstown TO Scrab-
Bile, an airship route from New York and
Philadelphia, the Potomac river and the
run made navigable from Washington,
bridge across the river and a good
system of State roads-all Of which the
Register advocates-this comfortable
little city may become one OF the live
licst places in the United States.
We deny that the Register has SLAM
dered Scrabble. We charge the "com-
mittee" with slandering it. for they
have called it"a dead place"
that the Register never has done and
never will do, at least as long as il is
the home Of live wires like Alex Kinseli,
Boyd Small, Miller Rush, Andy Way,
Lige willard, George Tabler, William
Rice and many others that we could
| mention.
