BARTON ELIMINATES
OAKLAND HIGH SCHOOL
From Participation in the State
InterschOlastic Soccer Game

Barton High Schools undefeated
soccer eleven, four times champions
of the Western Maryland Interscho-
lastic League, advanced one step fur
ther toward the coveted State soccer
title last Friday when it defeated
the Oakland High School team at
Grantsville in the State round robin
eliminations. The final score was
to 1, but Barton after getting $40
lead in the first half eased up in it's
efforts and was content to play on
an even basis with the Garrett coun-
tians in the closing period
Fridays triumph was Barton's sec
Ond straight in the post-season State
series over Oakland, the w. NJ. l.
champs winning last years inter-
county clash. Barton gave a wonder
full exhibition Friday, outplaying the
Oakland hooters in every phase of
play. The passing of the winners
bordered on the sensational through
OAI IHS SOIICSG anu NllCH lIC llelu
proved handicap to groundwork,
the Bartonites resorted to overhead
passing, using their heads as the
medium.
The work of Smith and Longridge
on the forward lines were responsible
for much of the scoring, since they
kept feeding the ball to the backfeld
where Schramm was set to drive it
through for a score. Schramm scored
five of his teams six points, Thomas
scoring for the additional mark.
Burroughs scored Oakland's only
count in the first session, but Barton's
goal was seldom threatened. High
winds swept the field and made long
bunting almost impossible, the ball
curving off the field repeatedly.

Gortner-Rexrode- home of
Rev. j. G. Breuninger, at Sunnyside,
this county, was the scene of very
beautiful and impressive wedding on
Monday when Miss Leila S. Rexrode,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs J. G. Rex
rode, prosperous residents living near
Mountain Lake Park, became the wife
of Mr.. Alva G. Gortner, only son of
Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Gortner, of Oak

a number of relatives from Oakland
and vicinity. The ring ceremony was
used and very appropriate wedding
garments were worn by the contract

bride and groom left on their honey
moon by automobile for points in the
middle west to be gone several days.
Upon the return they will take up
their residence in Oakland where the

GIGANTIC POWER PROJECT
NEAR OAKLAND PLANNED
First Development Will Be AT
Point Where Deep Creek
Flows Into YOugh River

For upwards of eighteen months
a corps of engineers under the direc-
ton of Mr.. F. H. COrliss, chief, has
been engaged in running lines along
the streams north of Oakland includ-
ing Youghiogheny River, Deep Creek
and their numerous tributaries. I'm
til very recently the purposes of these
surveys were not announced, hence
nothing appeared in the press.
Two weeks ago a number of con-
struction engineers, with their assis-
tants, arrived in Oakland and estab-
lshed offices temporarily in The Re-
publican building moving on Monday
to the Johnson building on Third
street, which had been specially fitted
for their purposes.
With the arrival of the construc-
ton engineers, however, things began
to develop and announcement was
made yesterday by an Associated
Press dispatch dated at Baltimore
giving the first authoritative informa-
ton relative to the exact purposes of
the corporation obtainable and was
as follows:
"A gigantic power project to har-
ness the Youghiogheny River waters
in Garrett county, Maryland, has been
outlined to the Maryland Public Ser
vice Commission.
"The power service will be sold to
the Penn Public Service Company and
distributed throughout Western Penn
sylvania.
'The plan prepared by Charles B.
Hawley, construction engineer of the
Eoughiogheny River Power Company
and the Youghiogheny Water and
Electric Company, contemplates the
development of approximately 100000
horsepower and the construction of a
controlled water power dam and tun-
mel. The first development will be at
point where Deep Creek flows into
IIG 1OuSlioSI GIiS Ill hdIICII county .,
between Oakland and Friendsville.
"The project is expected to cost
more than S35,O0O,O0O
MIR. Hawley, accompanied by other
officials of the companies interested
in the promotion, assured H. Carl
Wolf, chief engineer of the commits
sion, yesterday that the necessary
rights of way had been secured; that
the plans had been definitely worked
out and that one project was ready
for proceeding with the construction
work
According to Mr.. Hawley's outline
of the plans, dam 70 feet high and
1900 feet in length at the top is to be
constructed on Deep Creek. A tunnel
is then to be built for distance Of
one and half miles from the level of
the creek to the power plant"

Got Large Wolf

Last Wednesday Messrs. Charley
NARROW, B. +. Bucknell and several
others were out hunting wolves
After running different tracks all day
the dogs got large grey wolf near
enough to the men so that a good
shot by Mr.. NARROW brought hip

Line road about seven miles from
town. The men had been hunting
from early in the mCruing until
about ten O'Clock at night but felt
well repaid after getting such a
large wolf.
These two gentlemen have some
mighty fine hounds and if the wea-
ther holds out, the complaints of
the farmers that the wolves are kill
ing of their stock will be fewer
From many reports there are many
wolves in this part of the county
but by the good work Of the hunters
they shall be frightened away in
time. This is the first wolf caught
this season that has been brought

New Stunt for Ford Cars

Word comes from a town in MIS-
souri, that a new FLYER attachment
has been displayed on the street
there by man giving the name OF
Ole Olson.
The invention is patterned after s
street car guard. When the driver
runs over a chicken or turkey the
fender scoops up the bird, runs it
past the engine fan, which is arrang-
ed with knife like blades that dress,
clean and cut up the fowl. The vic
tim then lands in a pan attached to
the engine, where it is cooked by
heat from the exhaust pipe. Water
from the radiator slowly driRs on
the bird so that gravy is made.
Several prospective buyers Of
stock in the invention made a trip
through the country. On their re-
turn, when the hood of the engine
was raised, more than thirty pounds
Of dressed, roasted meat was found.

THEIR BRAVERY TESTED
Some Local Elks Showed Thei
Nerve While Under Fire.


There was some real excitement az
the Elks club in this city last Sat
! urday night, and the metal of some
real brave men was taxed TO the
limit, men who fought valiantly on
the battle fields of France licking
the Germans to standstill and
never showing an atom of fear. A
telephone call was apparently the
starting of the excitement, which
penetrated the entire club. A man
CALLED up, asking for a member of
the club. He was answered by a
member who attempted TO 'kid him
and used rather rough language to
him, just for the sake of having u
little fun at his expense. The phone
was answered OIL the second floor
by this particular member, win
travels and sells choice meats, 20
make the ghost walk Saturday
nights. Members of the club on the
ground eoQs~-cserhead the cogrersa-
zion goiis or over the phone, and
they Immediately got busy to test
the bravery Of those on the second
floor.
The crowd on the seccr-i roor was
made up Of two travelling men, sew
eral doctors, two pantorium prop
rietors, mail carrier, a couple OF
auctioneers, and several other diff
ferent professions.
The four men who were on The
ground or main floor of the club IN
formed those on the second floor
that the fellow who used the phone
was at the outer door, heavily arm
ed, and was demanding admitance.
Excitement and visions of sawed off
sho.guns was in the air immediate
ly. The men on the lower floor were
doing their best to keep the sup.
posed intruder" out, and their ex-
clamation of "hold the door," bar
it etc, was heard all over the club.
Incidentally one of the boys brought
contrivance into play that, when
he banged it against the bannister
on the stairway leading to the sec
ond floor it sounded like shot
gun. The brave ones on the second !
floor began giving orders what to
do. One fellow who we know was
a good soldier, told the others to
lay fat on the floor, just as he was
doing, because ne said the fellow
would shoot high. About the time
he was giving his warning, another
report exploded on the ground floor,
and with the shouts of the four men
below it was the blow that broke the
camePs back. Somebody thought of
the windows and up they went and
the Rock Island never made faster
time than those travelling men, doc
tors, aUctiOneers and others in hit
ting mother earth from the second !
story window. A high board fence
near the window enabled them TO
land with safety. Those VINO were
able to run after landing on the
ground started out looking for the
police, and we understand they are
going yet.
