'ELMAN VALLEY R. R.
Be EXTENDED SOUTH
I Grantsville Territory to
Oakland, Thus Giving Rail
Connection With that Town
(By G. W. Diefenbach)

EVANSVILLE, Feb. 9.-The fol-
lowing news item of great interest to
Garrett countians, especially those in
Grantsville and Oakland, appeared in
the daily press under a Philadelphia
date line of the 3rd inst:
"After some years of effort, coupled
with a business tenacity that augurs
we'll for future success of the under
taking, Smith H. Bracey, who built
5000 miles of railroads for the Gould
interests and others, now sees success
ahead of him with the beginning of
17-mile extension of the Casselman
Valley Railroad from Jennings to
Oakland, Nd. The addition will tap
some $4,000 acres of virgin timber
and coal lands. The original road is
now IA miles and runs from Worth,
Pa, to Jennings, Md, and until re-
Gently was narrow gauge road. Now
this has been rebuilt and changed to
standard gauge road and the promot-
ers say increased business will follow
New ballast, ties and other equipment
have placed the road in frst-class con-
dition.
"Mr. Bracey is now a modest CAPT
talist and, with an eye to the future,
has seen the broader scope and posi-
bilities of this mountain railway that
takes in some of the picturesque spots
of the Georges Creek region. From
an original tonnage of 80 cars a
month on the Casselman Valley R. R.,
the operators on the line have now
built up a business calling for 800
cars month. By the new addition
to the road it is believed this coal
quota will be much enlarged after the
region has been developed. For a
time, the railroad was shut down.
Gone big feature of the new extern
sion will be it's easy grade, which Mr..
Bracey says will be less than l per
cent, which will be big factor in en-
abling one locomotive to pull train
of coal cars instead of the usual three
over and up sleeper grade. AS he
has constructed roads in go States in
the Union and knows these engineer
ing conditions as a railroader, coal
contractor and builder, the fact that
Che new extension ID 10 be built on
ehese lines spells real success and
progress in this region for the coal
industry, his co-w0rkers declare.

Some Of the wide awake camp
owners of this section got busy last

able quantity of maple syrup was
made.

"a we'll known local goldman is one
of the directors of the Casselman
Valley R. R. in the person Of Joseph
B. Givin, secretary and treasurer of
the Charles D. Norton Coal Co., with
offices in the Stephen Girard Building.
The headquarters of the railroad are
at Grantsville, Nd, in Garrett county.
after being in operation for some
time over the 31-mile route, it is be-
lieved that a passenger service will
be developed along with the coal pro-
duction."
The foregoing is certainly good
news for the central portion of Gar
rett county, and especially the Cassel-
man Valley. At present there are
five producing operations actively en-
gagged, namely: The Myers Coal Co.
and ]. C. Johnson, at Grantsville; the
Morgart Coal Mine Corporation, Dav-
id Ferrin and Huff & burst, Of Jen-

operations. Both these men are living
at the National Hotel here.

from which he was slowly recovering

morgue. Mr.. Urich is survived by his

DRY CHIEF SAYS SMITH CERTAIN.

Former Representative James J. Britt oi North Carolina, chief counsel for the Fed eral Prohibition Bureau, speaking unoniciaily in an interview appearing under an Ashville, N C., dateline in the New York Times declared "Gov. Alfred E. Smith will undoubtedly be the Democratic standard bearer" in 1928, and that Secretary Hoover is now the strongest man the Republicans have, but that the latter party had not picked it's T am confident that Presi- dent Coolidge would not run if nominated he is quoted as saying. adding No man who knows him we'll could believe otherwise"
 Speaking relative to Governor Smith and his chances, MT. Britt said:
 He is not only immensely popular
 with a great section of his party prob-
 ably a large majority of it, but he is
 also able and clean, and withal, is the
 most magnetic personality of this gen
 eration since Theodore Roosevelt.
 He predicted defeat for the New York Gov ernor in the general election, however, on tht ground that the Democratic party would spii on two issues--Prohibtion and religion, con cluding that ''whatever follows Governor Smitf will be a towering and masterful figure

PUSHING uNIFIcATION POLICY.

From the annual report of the Secretary of Interior 1t is evident that his department is con fdent of the effectiveness of the semi -reorganiza ton measure passed at the last session of Con gress affecting the departments of Interior. Agr culture and Commerce.. Secretary Work undoubt edly looks forward to considerable improvement in efficiency and lowering of administrative costs under this measure.
 The policy he outlines is attractive in that it proposes to transfer from Washington to AL aska most of the jurisdiction over local questions. Under the system that has prevailed for years only two Federal bureaus operating ill Alaska have had anything like free hand. These are the Forest Service and the Alaska Road Commis- sion Virtually all of the others have to submit even the most petty subjects to Washington for action by officials who very probably have little knowledge of conditions and circumstances here and no more general knowledge of laws and regu- lations than local agents of the same bureaus possess. All of this has made, for delay and dissatisfaction.
 There has been duplication of effort and often lack of cooperation which has tended to handicap efficient administration. This had been factor in retardng development of the public resources. As Secretary Work has out lined the new policy affecting the three Executive departments having the most to do with Alaskan resources, these evils will be eliminated. Author ity to deal with all matters not involving majcr questions of departmental policy will be vested in local agents, and all records pertaining to pub lie lands and resources will be transferred to the Territory
 Just how far the Washington authorities will go in this depends, of course. to large extent on local representatives of the several depart ments. If they agree the transfer of work or personnel, Secretary Work intimates in his report that there will be no hitch in Wash ington so far as the Interior Department is con- cerned It is probable that Secretary Jardne and Secretary Hoover will be found back of this unifcation program with as much willingness and sincerity as that exhibited by MT. Work.
