Restore Ancient
Gate to Oxford

OXFORD, Eng, sept. 21--An an
ciOt gate Of oak, which was set
mp nearly 500 years ago and swung
for 800 wears at the entrance to
ha!ljoI college before il changed
is location, has been found and re-
Turned to its old place.
The gate was made and hung in
1898 and it was already a vencr-
able antique when, in 1865, Ridley
and Latimcr were burned al the
stake only a few wards in front
Of il, after they had been convict
ed as Protestant hcrctics. Towards
the end Of the 18th century. when
the front quadrangle Of the col
lcgc WAS demolished and rebuilt,
the gate was taken down. DR..
Harding Newman, fellow Of Mag
dalcnc college, Oxford. acquired il
and hung it at the entrance Of his
private garden at Nclmcs, in Essex.
Ivy grew over it and after DR..
Newman S death the gate VAS for
gotten.
But IS months ago J. Rochelle
Thomas of the Georgian Gallery,
st. James, London, discovered the
ancient gate and purchased it.
More than 100 coats Of paint were
scrapcd away and the old oak
planks and struts found still in
perfect state Of Preservation.

kaibab Forest
Will be Opened
to Deer Hunters

Deer hunting on the Grand Can,
yon National Gamc Preserve in the
Kaibah National Forest. Arizona,
will be permitted during the period
Oct. to 81, according to advice
received hy the California district
headquarters of the United States
forest service in san Francisco.
Each person will be allowed one
male deer, and hunters must have
:, government agreement and Il
state license before going to a
bunting camp. Government agree

licenses SD each, and non resident
licenses $2o each. Two checking

The Kaihah National Forest. WAS
made Il game preserve by President
Roosevelt in 1905 and the game was
protected from hunting, and IN ac-
tive campaign against their Hatur-
al c@-mi,~. lions and wolves. WAS
conducted hv the biological survey,
Under THIS protection tine deer grew
from a small herd Of q tc" Inou-
sand very rapidly until in 1875 it
was estimated that it contained be
tween thirty and fifty thousand
deer.
The opening of the forest for
hunting was first made III 1924 and
has been continued each year since.
This has been done in an effort to
reduce the herd which was incrcaS-
ing ST. rapidly that the available
forage was becoming exceedingly
short and there was much danger
that the herd would be cXtcrminat-
ed 10y starvation. Furthermore. the
forester, found thai q great deal "t
damage WAS being do'.c - repro
ductjon and timber by the deer.

Some time between darkness Mon
day night and dawn Tuesday morning
Of last week thieves made an unsuc-
cessful attempt to burglarize the vault
of the Farmers Bank at Horsey, Acco-,
mac county, Va. The vault was not
entered although it had been tamper-
ed with and it is believed that the
thieves were either without neces-
sary tools to open the modern vault
or else were scared off by some pas
serby. However they looted the stamp
box Of six dollars worth Of stamps
and one dollar in change and stole a
Savage automatic pistol and box
of cartridges. AS far as he could be
learned by William E. Lang, cashier,
nothing else has been disturbed. The
vault locks were in working condition
but plainly showed that effort had
been made to operate them.
Entrance was effected through a
rear window and the thieves escaped
without leaving a single clue to their
identity. They are thought to have
left by automobile as resident living

Basket ball has not yet gotten into
full swing since the close of the
Christmas holidays. It looks very
much as if the State championship
will lie between the present champ
ions, Washington Collge, and Mary
land University. The latter team has
shown up specially strong in defeat
ing Washington and Lee and also the
Navy, and did it in very impressive
style. Just how strong these two
teams are when compared with the
State champions is not known, as the
former does not play the Eastern
Shore team, and the Navy-Washing-
ton game comes a little later in the
season.
Washington is not as strong as
last year; the loss Of McGran and her
center being materially felt. While
there is a wealth Of material, still ex-
perience is necessary to build up a
winner. It is not likely the Eastern
Shoremen will have as smooth a
working machine as the 1925 combi-
nation.

On December 18th Evergreen Lodge
No. 105, A. F. & A. NJ; Cape Charles,
celebrated Saint Johns night, as st.
Johns night fell this year on Sunday.
Officers were elected and installed as
follows: w. N. Thomas, worshipful
master; B. B. Stevenson senior ward
en-; j. B. Crosley, junior warden;
George B. Morton, treasurer; A l..
Jarvis, secretary; A. L. Williams,
senior deacon; E. C. Young, junior
deacon; J. M. Adkins, chaplain; J. L.
Tpplebaugh, tiler; E. J. Hunt and H.
J. Carmean, stewards.
A number of fine talks were made
by the incoming officers though no
special program had been arranged in
advance and prominent local Masons
feel that the local Lodge is on the
threshold Of revival in interest and
activities. The Lodge has the larg-
est membership in the history of its
existence and it's attendance through
out the year just closed has been wor-
thy of comment. However a pro-
nounced increase is expected during
1926.

nue. is one Of the handsomest and fin
est equipped in the State of Virginia.
