PROHIBITION 6 YEARS OLD
Mr.. Wheeler Offers Figures To
Prove Contention That 1t Is
A Success

The sixth anniversary of prohibi-
ton was hailed by Wayne B. Wheeler,
General counsel of the Anti-Saloon
League, as showing the consumption
of alcohol lowered to a small fraction
of its former total; the health of the
nation improved, and the saloon "and
the pauperism and sums" which
clustered around it thing of the
past.
"The newly issued census figures"
he said, "show 55 per cent decrease
in drunkenness commitments in 1923
compared with 1910. Later figures
show this decrease continued through
1925.
Americas sobriety is far ahead
of European Nations cited by vets as
evidence of the superiority of license.
The ratio of drunkenness convictions
in England and Wales was 200 per
100000 population in 1923. The ratio
of such convictions in the United
States was S3.1 in the same wear.
1928, according to the census bureau
London arrest three and half times
as many for intoxication per year as
New York, and Paris twice as many
in spite of the severity of our police
$4,000 registered distilleries in
France contribute to the intoxication
of that nation. With bread lines, I'M
employment doles, debt lodging and
hands outstretched for American
loans, the wet nations of Europe may
profit by Americans example of new
freedom from alcohol's rule"

Rev. A. ]. Torrey To Leave Oak
land February LIST.

Rev. A. J. Torrey, rector of St.
Matthew's Episcopal church, has re-
signed as rector of that church to
take effect on January 31st. Rev.
Torrey will enter the Order of the
Holy Cross, located at West Park,
New York
His many friends here will be inter-
ested to know something about the
work in which he will be engaged
after leaving Oakland. This order is
a religious order of the Episcopal
church, founded in 1881 under the
guiding genius Of Rev. George H.
Houghton, D. D., also the founder of
the famous Little Church Around the
Corner" whose real name is the
Church of the TRANSPORTATION of New
York. The members of the Order of
the Holy Cross began their work in
the worst part of the East Side of
New York among the slum tenaments,
seeking to relieve the sick and very
poor. In 1892, the Order moved to
Westminster, Md, where they lived
for twelve years and before the
growth of the order required them to
move to their present community
house in West Park.
The men of this order are engaged
in the teaching and preaching minis
try and missionary work of the
church. They have college prepar-
atory school of two hundred students
located at Kent, Connecticut, and
splendid school for the poor white
boys of St. Andrews, Tenn. They also
have mission work at Ripon, Wis,
and mission work in Liberia, Africa.
Rev. Torrey expects to eventually be
located in one Of these three fields Of
endeavor, although he is at the COM
mand of the head of the order. Rev.
Robert E. Campbell was consecrated
Bishop of Liberia in the Cathedral of
st. John the Divine, New York City,
within the past month. He was a
member of the Order of the Holy
Cross.
The men of this order serve the
various fields of work without salary,
only their living expenses being met.
The three vows binding them together
are those of poverty, chastity and
obedience, their life work being the
combination of missionary work,
preaching and teaching, asking only
the reward of the blessing of Almigh-
ty God.

1850 MARRIAGE LICENSES
ISSUED HERE LAST YEAR
Largest Number Written in Any
Year Since Formation of
Garrett County.

Since the year 1914, The Republi-
can has been printing in its mid-Jan-
uary issue table showing the num-
Der of marriage licenses issued for
the preceding year at the office of the
Clerk of the Circuit Court in Oak
land.
The year that has just passed was
the banner year in the marriage Ii
cense bureau at the Court House, dur
ing which year 1160 licenses were is
sued. The year 1923 ran 1925 very
close second when 1142 permits to
marry were written. In 1924 the num-
Der issued totalled 1888, which was
one greater than in 1920, when 1882
licenses were applied for and granted.
In this latter period the soldiers who
had been engaged overseas and in
various environments in this country
had returned to their usual walks of
life and had again taken up the civil
pursuits, establishing a business and
then as is natural they courted and
won their helpmates with the result
that 1919 more licenses were issued in
Oakland in 1920 than during the II
months preceding.

The Oakland A. A. of the Pennsyl-
vania-Maryland Basketball League,
defeated Berlin, Pa, here Tuesday
night by the score of 80 to 81 before
the largest crowd of the season.
Dewey Rice, Oakland forward, was
the outstanding star of the game with
nine field goals to his credit. The To-
Gals took the lead at the start and
were never headed. The score at half
time was 1877. Walter Hoyt and Mott
Montgomery, former Keyser Colleg-
ians, appeared in Berlin's lineup, but
close guarding kept them from get

Oakland played the Berliners a re-
turn game last night. The referee
was so manifestly unfair in his de-

floor during the last four minutes of
play with one foul against Berlin and
20 or more chalked up against the
visitors.

GARRETT COUNTY GINGER
ALE BEING MARKETED
AltamOnt Springs Products Be-
ing Bottled and Shipped To
ariOuS Points.

The first annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Altamont Springs
Corporation of Deer Park, was held
at the Office of Attorney E. R. Jones
in Oakland on Monday morning of
this week, at which time number of
those actively interested in this new
company, both locally and at Wheel
ing, West Va, were present. In addi-
ton to the election of board of di-
rectors and officers for the present
year, a number of other matters of
business were attended to and definite
plans made for the marketing of the
company's product on a considerable
scale.
The plant Of the company is located
between Deer Park and Altamont, on
the property formerly owned by Col.
George Treusdell, but now owned by
Messrs. R. A. Smith and John Shore,
of Blaine and Kitzmiller.
Several months ago some business
men Of Wheeling purchased from
these gentlemen the bottling plant
erected by Col. Treusdell, several
acres of land, the springs which were
extensively advertised by Col. Treus-
dell in various parts Of the country,
as also all of the equipment, pipe line
rights, etc, necessary for the opera
ton of the plant, it being the inten-
ton to manufacture and place on the
market high grade ginger ale and
also to bottle and ship for table and
general use water from the famous
springs.
A company, known as the Altamont
Springs Corporation was incorporated
under the laws of Maryland and since
then extensive repairs have been
made to the bottling house and about
the springs; new machinery has been
purchased and installed and all ar
rangements made for the bottling of
ginger ale and water on a large scale
nd the placing of the same upon the
general market. Already a consider
able amount of Altamont Springs
Ginger Ale has been shipped to a
number of nearby towns and cities,
and wherever it has been placed the
same has met with much popularity
because of the high grade product
and purity of the water used in its
manufacture.
From now on the company expects
to push the sale of it's products and
to place the same actively on the mar
ket and shortly to have its plant run
ming at full time with a number of
employees. The prospects look bright
for this new Garrett county enter
prise.
The directors and officers chosen at
the meeting on Monday were as fol-
lows: Directors, J. N. Hendrix, A. J.
Mayer and G. J. Coffey, all of Wheel
ing; w. w. Dawson and E. R. Jones,
Oakland. President, ]. N. Hendrix;
vice-president, G. J. Coffey; treasurer,
A. j. Mayer; secretary, E. R. Jones;

NUMBERING IN THE WEST
How Logging in the Big Woods
Is Carried on by a Former
Garrett COuntian.

The Republican was in receipt of a
letter some days ago from Mr.. Frank
o. Glotfelty, who has been engaged
in logging in Idaho for the past six
years, in which Mr.. Glotfelty describes
the mode in vogue in handling logs
in the big woods of the northwest.
Mr.. Glotfelty's letter follows:
To the Editor of The Republican.
Thinking that some of my friends
and relatives in Garrett county might
enjoy reading some news about how
we log and manufacture lumber out
here, l will write few lines.
1t will be six years in March since
l came to the northwest. These years
have passed very rapidly, but they
have been prosperous years. | felt
blue and discouraged at first, but fin
ally got into the game and got busy,
and then the time passed swiftly by.
| worked four months and was pro-
NOTED to superintendent of an outfit
that consisted of five steam donkey
engines with over 100000 feet of 7-S
and l Is inch cable, about 100 head
of horses, three camps with three
hundred men and five miles of fume,
which outfit had been producing an
nually around 28,000,000 feet of
logs. Yesterday Mr.. John Dimeling,
whom many of you know, handed me
a statement showing what we did in
1925.
My inventory on January /, 1926,
showed SO head of horses, no donkeys
used in 1925, and $50 men employed
in the woods. We produced in 1925
44,366,150 feet Of logs; S240 cedar
telegraph poles, averaging 40 feet
in length. The logs cost around Sc
per thousand feet to cut and skid to
fiume. The poles cost IL cents per
foot afoat in the fume. We have
over eight miles of fiume now. The
logs for the year averaged about 10
logs to the thousand feet.
The company operate their Spirit
Lake mill nine months in the year
and lost only 20 minutes time in the
nine months. They cut 44,300,000
feet of lumber.
We have another electric mill at
lone, Washington. The two mills cut
in 1925 S7,666,000 feet of lumber.
76,000,000 feet was shipped and there
is on stick 600O0,000 feet. The COM
pany has at the present rate of cut
ting, fifteen years steady run before
them.
l have several Garrett county boys
working for me. They all like the
work and climate and the pork and
beans. They are all healthy and pros
porous. | have one man who worked
for me in Maryland and West Vir-
ginia but never saved dollar until
he came here. On January LIST he had
at interest in one bank $4,000. So this
is not bad place to be if you do your
part.
The climate and weather is fine.
We have had nine months of nice
sunshiny weather. From May LIST to
October LIST we did not loose an hour
on account of rain.
Mr.. John Dimeling, who bought the
mill at Bond, Md, and finished that
job, is president and general mana
ger here, so you see 1 am not among
strangers.
We have good class of men, con-
sisting of Slavs, Swedes, Italians, In
dians, Greeks and lots of other ma
tionalities l never knew before.
We all like the great northwest.
Wishing you all a prosperous new
year, l am,
