ROAD HOGS ARE EXPENSIVE

The state highway department now
can figure one of the costs that the
road hog adds to highway mainten-
ance and construction.
Time was when a one-way road,
with convenient turn-outs, would
care for traffic during construction
of a new highway. Later the high
way department was obliged to police
its detours to keep traffic moving
without confusion but the detours did
not have to be widened.
Now the road hog insists on blum
dering thru and present-day detours
must be constructed eighteen feet in
width and kept up so the inconsid-
crate driver can get thru without en-
dangering all the rest of the traffic
on the road. The cost of building de-
tours has doubled and highway Off
Gals know that the road hog is al
most if not wholly responsible.
The highway department this year
redueed detouring to a minimum and
got most of its paving program out
of the way before the tourist rush
started.
Probably the most expensive de-
tour the department has ever had to
maintain was kept up this year, how
ever, and the road hogs had nothing
to do with adding to the expense of
this work. While the new paving was
being laid between Chehalis and Cen
tralia a traffic that reached the vol
ume of 1000 cars day had to be
handled. To maintain q 4-mile detour
for three months cost the department
/, $2O, 900. An eight-foot grader, and
truck to pull it, one-man patrol
grader, a horse-drawn water tank
and a truck for hauling gravel were
kept on the Extraordinarily.

On the shore of the Sound as the

The tide was ebbing, ebbing fast,
While my mind reflected upon the

Where one by one dear friends have

Until the harbor comes to view.

Yours respectfully.
E. LEE LECOMPTE,
State Game Warden.
There seems to be an impression In some
sections Of the State that the season for
killing Swan opened December LIST
There positively is no open season on
Swan in Maryland at present.
The Migratory Bird Treaty Act. which be-
came effective on December 9Th, 1915. and
provided for the PRONUNCIATION Of regulations
to be placed in the hands Of the United
states Department of Agriculture. and
further provided for a ten-year closed
season on Swan, therefore, 1t would be
impossible for the regulations to be changed
by opening the season on Swan un Ill after
December 9th. 1925.
OF course, it is impossible to surmise IL
the Advisory Board (Which is a body of
representative men from different sections
of the United States comprised of fifteen
members). will recommend at their next
annual meeting to open the season on
Swan or continue the closed season on
same.
Therefore. this is to advise those inter-
ested. that it is unlawful to hunt, pursue
or kill Swan in any manner until the
United States Department of Agriculture
opens the season on same.

A dispatch from Haeerstown. Md. dated
December 18th. says:
Restoration Of the historic Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal between Cumberland and
Washington. which has been closed for
two years. and the probability Of tractors
being used as a means of transportation
instead OF the old-time mule team, is pre-
dicted for the coming spring.
Belief that navigation on the waterway
will be resumed next March is based on
reports said to come from authentic sources.
1t is understood that manufacturers OF
small tractors have proposed to the canal
management to put their machines on the
waterway as an experiment for towing
coal barses. and II this plan is successful
tractors may be adopted as a permanent
motive power.
II is also rumored that a new type Of
steel barge. similar to that in use on canals
in Europe. may be tried on the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal as a cargo carrier.
Improvement in the coal market Is said
to be one OF the encouraging features that
may lead the MANAGEMENT Of the canal to
decide to reopen the waterway next spring.
The present demand for coal is expected
to continue and II satisfactory shipping
rates can be secured for the canal as COM
pared with rates on railroads. the water
way. 1t Is said. will be able to operate
successfully.
The canal is reported to be in good ply
steal condition despite idleness since the
spring Of 1924. when considerable damage
was done to the banks by floods in the
Potomac and Shenandoah rivers. The
damage has been repaired and some dreds-
ing work is all that would be necessary, 1t
Is said. to make the waterway ready for
navigation.

Parkhurst Set Free.

Robert S. Parkhurst was acquitted last
Friday night in the circuit court here of
assault and battery charged by Mary
Price. 10 years old. Of Silver Spring. and
the girl was sent to jail to await commit
ment to an institution.
The jury believed the young mans alibi
story. supported by Mrs. Annie Van Horn.
Of Silver Spring. his boarding house keeper.
and others. Miss P,ice had charged that
she was attacked on a lonely road while
going home from friends house. dragged
into an excavation and threatened If she
exposed her assailant. When left alone
she went to a residence nearby and re-
ported that she had been attacked by
negro.
She later accused Parkhurst, who was
held without bail for several months In the
Rockville jail. Then she exonerated Park
hurst in series Of statements and afr
davits. and when the matter reached the
grand jury the charge of criminal assault
was changed to assault and battery. with
$500 bail allowed. The trial was set and
Miss Price disappeared. She was arrested
at the home of an aunt near Baltimore.
When the trial opened Thursday she told
the Jury Parkhurst was her assailant. and
said she had been inundated by his father
and Others More than fifty witnesses
were called. most of them to testify as to
the character Of the defendant and his
whereabouts at the time the girl said she
was attacked.
The jury was out about three hours.
Upon gaining his freedom Parkhurst and
his mother departed. while the father Of
Miss Price. Geo. W. Price. Of Silver Spring.
asked the court to hold her in custody
until arrangements could be made to have
her committed to some institution. Judge
Peter called the girl before him and up
braided her for having fed when the case
was previously called. saying her act was
in contempt, but that on account of her
misfortunes and the two weeks she has
spent in jail he would consider justice
satisfied. He then committed her to the
custody Of the sheriff pending a hearing
before him in the juvenile court. where he
also presides. when the petition Of her
father to have her confined in some insti-
tuition will be heard.

sidered and the matter was referred to

way Company to its failure to keep in
