MILK AND CREAM PLANT
MAY LOCATE In OAKLAND
Possibility of Establishing Such
Discussed at Banquet at Deer
Park Hotel Last Night.

At six-course dinner served at the
Deer Park Hotel last night, when sew
enty-five representative farmers and
business men were present, the possi-
bility of establishing a milk-cream
shipping station in Oakland was pre-
scented for discussion.
DR.. Henry W. McComas, acting
chairman, introduced to the body Will
liam P. DeBerry, who many years ago
supplied Oakland with cream. 1t was
Mr.. DeBerry's custom at that time to
deliver the cream to his customers
and prospective customers on horse
back. By the use of burlap bag
thrown across the horses back, gal
Ion jug of cream on one side and
stone on the other, Mr.. DeBerry made
his rounds over the town and disposed
of his product. Mr.. DeBerry delivered
the cream for his father and was such
a small boy at the time that he was
lifted from his horse and remounted
again with the assistance of anyone
that might be near after each and
every sale.
DR.. McComas, in his opening re-
marks, reviewed the dairying indus
try from the time of its beginning in
this section of the county until the
present time and pointed out the
wonderful possibilities" for making
Garrett county a leader in dairying in
the course of very few years.
John P. Dugan, general baggage
agent of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road, explained his interest and ac-
Invites in the matter of procuring a
milk-cream station here, and said that
he and his department of the railway
company, as we'll as the officials Of one
of the largest dairying companies Of
the United States were much pleased
with the natural dairying conditions
existing in Garrett county, and fur
ther said that in his twenty years Of
experience with the railroad company
in promoting dairy interests he had
never been so favorably impressed
with locality as he is with this Sec
ton. Mr.. Dugan explained that he

Sl5S OF $500 RECEIVED
in SCOUT BUILDING FUND
Remainder of Total to be Sole.
tied SoOn-WOrk Already
Started on Structures

With S15S of the $500 already re-
ceived from business and professional
men Of Oakland by personal solicita-
ton of DR.. w. W. Grant and other
members of the committee who are
receiving funds for the erection of
permanent barracks and dining hall
for the local troop of Boy Scouts, the
remainder is almost certainty and
the work upon these two buildings
has already been started, according to
one of the members of the committee.
The remaining SAP is expected to
be made up by further personal
solicitation the remainder of this
week, DR.. Grant said. The barracks,
which the Court of Honor is erecting,
will be building 26 < 60 feet, open
on both sides and at one end, with
slanting roof, rising from four feet
on the lower side to approximately
ten feet on the upper side.
The dining hall will be nothing
more than root set upon posts and
will be long, narrow structure just
large enough to provide sufficient
covering for the table to be used by
the boys at meal time.
Considering the progress made in
the solicitation of funds, the boys will
go into camp for two weeks around
the first of August with these two
buildings a reality. The land upon
which these two structures are being
erected is the same upon which the
Scouts camped last summer and lies
along the shore of Deep Creek Lake
about twenty-five minutes drive from
Oakland. Omitting all "tenderfoot'
scouts, there are now AZ members OF
the local troop.
