that It would ruin all his chances Of
luck thereafter to touch the horse
shoe, he spoke to the horses and
started on.
Driving faster as he gained the bot
tom land, he reached the approach
to the ford, quarter of mile ahead.
where he saw two canvased wagons
halted. One had made the ford cross
ing. Just the top of the other wagon
showed through the trees that lined
the creek itself. Voices raised high
in mule adjuration reached his ears.
1t was an ordinary sound and told
him all Of the story he needed to
know-the second wagon was mired.
On the other side Of the creek
stood the wagon that had made the
crossing safely. The team had been
unhitched and two men, doubling this
team with that Of the mired wagon.
were working in the water.
Selwood, watching from the buck
board, had no need to speculate as to
what the probable outcome Of these
efforts would be. The men were OBJ
viously novices at their job and In all
likelihood unacquainted with the par
ticular danger of the ford they had
attempted. Selwood spoke to his
horses and, moving closer to the
scene, halted them on the creek bank.
The men in the creek were too busy
to notice him until he called out
At the sound Of voice both looked
up surprised. Laconic greetings ex-
changed, the older of the two men
waded across the sandy bottom at
Selwood's suggestion to speak to him.
While he discussed with Selwood the
awkward predicament in which he was
caught. Selwood looked him closely
over. He was a man Of forty-f1ve or
fifty years; Selwood saw his longish
thin hair was streaked with gray, as
was his still thinner beard-trimmed,
apparently. for sidewhiskers, but neg
lected during the exigencies Of trav-
ell. His. face was very thin, and this
accentuated his features. His eyes
were large, dark, and hollow; natur-
ally bright, they were unnaturally SO
now in his excitement. His mouth
was rather large, and his teeth, SEEM
ing thin also and spread rather wide
apart, showed prominently when he
smiled, as he was doing now-talking
rapidly and alphabetically to Selwood.
who had already got down from the
blackboard and was looking not very
hopefully, as he listened, toward the
wagon in the treacherous ford.

1t was pelt of large size and worth
easily So, but even though the man is
suing the checks for the fur the two
men had been buying was the same
man who paid Henry Lichty about 81
per ear for seed sweetcorn, he did not
seem willing to pay over Sd for an So
coon pelt, which he told the little boy
was big price, and induced the little
fellow to accept a 81 check for it for
his father.
The boy thought he did the right
thing when he accepted the check, but
his mother did not, and sent the lad
to a neighbours house where the fur
buyers next stopped to return the
check to the man who gave it to him,
and to recover the pelt. But the man
refused to accept the check OF to re-
turn the skin, saying "We're going to
keep the coon skin and you'll keep the
check"
When the lads father returned
home and learned of the fur-buyers'
visit and it's result, he made up his
mind not to stand for a deal of that
sort. So the next day he came to

York and adjacent states? These
are questions pertinently raised by R.
W. Quackenbush, agricultural agent
of the New York Central lines, who
politely refrains from saying that
they are of more serious concern to
the farmers of the East than McNary-
Haugenism or prohibition. The Vol
stead act does not yet apply to milk
and there is a practically unlimited
market for it almost at the Eastern
farmers barnyard.
ut is not literally true, of course,
that New York's dairy herd, as a
whole, has moved three to five hun
bred miles away. But the milk indus
try is clearly enough getting away
from the East and it's movement may
hereafter be more rapid than in the
past because of ever-improving trans
port facilities and new devices pro-
tecting the milk en- route. Certainly
the consumer will not benefit, either
in the price or the quality of his milk,
by the extension of the producing
area; the Eastern farmer would still
more certainly suffer from the loss Of
another line of production or increas-
ingly severe competition.
Ellis forebears saw dominance in
grain production pass irrevocably to
the prairie states. The Eastern far
mer of the present generation has
doubtless reconciled himself to that,
but his own eyes have seen apples and
eggs from the Pacific slope come in
to command the Eastern urban mar
kets. Will he now stand by and see
milk, butter and cheese, with the prof
its therefrom, slip further from his
grasp?
eff not, it will be no easy weekend
job to prevent just that from happen
ing. 1t can be prevented, if dairy
men will collectively exert themselves
in time"

GARRETT COUNTY coon
SKINS COME HIGH TO SOME
Those Especially Who Are On
The Make Dishonesty.

Salisbury Correspondence of Mey-
ersdale (Pa.) Republican,
Henry Lichty, now resident of
Ashland, O., but formerly a resident
of Elk Lick Township, once raised a
lot of seed sweetcorn that brought him
about 81 per ear because the fellow
who paid such high price for it did
not bargain for it before gaining pos
session of the coveted corn. Well, even
if Henry did get record price for his
corn, he didn't have much on Jesse
Merrill, of Garrett county, Md, at
that, as a financier.
Mr.. Merrill lives near Avilton, and
in addition to farming, also does a
little coon hunting for the fun he
gets out of it, and to make little
money on the side out of raw fur. Two
Salisbury fur-buyers recently called
at Mr.. Merrill's place to see if he had
any fur to SELL Mr.. Merrill was not
at home when the thrifty fur-buyers
called, and Mrs. Merrill informed the
men in quest of fur that all her hus-
band had in that line was one raccoon
skin, adding that she would not sell it
without authority from her husband.
The fur-buyer then asked ito be
shown the coveted coon pelt, so that
they could leave word for Mr.. Merrill
as to what they would be willing to
pay for it. Mrs. Merrill sent her little

ARE COWS GOING WEST?

For what the following editorial
from the Wall Street Jorunal might
mean as topic for thought for dairy
men and others of Garrett county and
who may thus more fully interest
themselves in dairying, it is repro
duced here:
''On the six railroads which bring
the New York metropolitan area it's
daily milk ration of 113,500 forty
quart cans the maximum hauls of the
precious fluid vary from 200 and $50
miles. New York has been sending
far afeld for it's milk for IS years, but
always the radius of it's producing
area has been growing wider. Com

SAN FRANC|SCO-ALAsKA STEAMSHIP LINE STARTS
 WITHIN NINETY DAYS

Within 90 days a new steamer will arrive in port from the South mark ing the inauguration of regular service, San Francisco to Alaska, which had it's initial start two years ago This announcement was made in Seward during the past week by Taptair Pederson, of the Webterh Aleska Transportation Company
 The vessel has been purchased Tor $20O,000, he stated, and is of 2,0OG tons dead weight. It is 240 feet in length anu has a draft of 12 feet T. has ', speed If I1 knots an ho1 IS ~f steel construction and modarr in every respect. There will ne pas senger accommodations for about B.
 Instead of being an oil burner, like the former vessel of the compa- ny, this one is a coal burner and it is said the coal consumption per day will be but 23 tons.
 Primarily, it was pointed out, the company will be traders-buying and selling-and therefore cannot be chased the same as common carriers
 New York capital is behind the present venture, Captain Pederson said. and of this there is ample to make it a permanent business. San Francisco knows nothing of Alaska, regardless of the fact in the early days of the Territory, the bulk of Alaskan business was carried on thru San Francisco. The majority of those earlier California business men have long since passed away and in their steads are their sons and others. These, it is said, are sadly lacking in knowledge of the vast Territory the earlier San Fran ciscans had so much traffic with
 California is anxious to obtain a foothold in Alaska and to that end, Captain Pederson stated, is in the market for coal, fish, furs, timber and farm products.
 Captain Pederson has in his pos session, he said, ample orders and contracts for the above items suffi- cient in number to keep his vessel busy for many months to come. In connection with the coal he added that 1t astounded him when informed of the many bi-products obtained from Alaska coal which analysis show is of much higher content than the average coal now on the market in San Francisco. He also said Alaska coal can compete in quality and price with coal now sold on the coastal markets.
