Hiram S. Coleman Observes His
18th Birthday.

Hiram S. Coleman, formerly of Gar
rett county, now resident of Frost
burg, celebrated his 77th anniversary
Wednesday at his home in that town
at which members of his family and
number of friends were present. He
was for twenty years postmaster at
Sutton, Garrett county. He was born
two miles east of Homecoming on June
80, 1851, and spent his early life in
the coal mines as driver. In Deem
Der, 1880, he married Miss Martha
Jane Broadwater of the New Germany
community in Garrett county and soon
after opened a store at Sutton, a
short distance from the home of his
wife. Mr.. Coleman moved to Frost
burg in 1920 and engaged in the mer-
camille business. 1t was there that he
was burned in a gas explosion from
which his son, Clarence E. Coleman,
died one week later. For long while
Mr.. Coleman was in serious condi-
ton, but survived with several bad
scars on his face.

MT. LAKE planning MILL
WAS CONSUMED SATURDAY
High Wind Endangered Entire
Block at Loeb Lynn-Esti-
mated Loss Placed at $500

One of Mountain Lake Parks in
dustrial establishments was laid waste
early on last Saturday lno,-,:ng when
the Mountain Lake Park planning mill
was consumed by fire Of undetermined
origin.
The fire was discovered in the plant
about 2:45 o'clock Saturday morning
by resident of the town whose home
is located nearby and who stated that
the flames originated in vacant room
in the rear of the building and that
the fire spread with such rapidity that
in a few moments time the entire
structure was ablaze.
The Oakland Fire Department re-
sponded to the alarm, being on the
scene within very few minutes after
the alarm had been given. The de-
partment was unable to save any part
of the planning mill or its contents,
valued at $500 and turned the hose
on adjacent structures, several OF
which were on fire at various times
during the progress of the planning
mill blaze.
According to former Senator H. J.
Speicher, of Accident, owner of the
burned mill, his personal loss will
amount to $4,000, the remaining por-
ton being covered by insurance.
The fire caught US at bad time"
Mr.. Speicher said, because the great
er part of our loss is caused by the
destruction of finished lumber which
would have been delivered to the pur-
chaser in few days"
Several stacks of lumber in the
yard adjoining the mill were damaged
on the edges and ends, but the larger
portion of the lumber will be sal
vaged.
While the building was in a rather
bad state of repair, a considerable
sum of money had recently been spent
for new equipment, the plant hav-
ing been electrified only a few months
ago, and for that reason the loss is
considerably higher than was at first
estimated.
Due to high wind at the time of the
fire much concern was had for the
safety of the entire town of Loeb
Lynn, Immediately across the tracks
of the Baltimore and Ohio from Mt.
Lake Park, but owing to a concen-
trated effort on the part of the fire
department all adjacent buildings
were saved with only slight damage
to the roofs of one or two resulting.
Whether the plant will be rebuilt or
not is undetermined.

Large Lot of Trash Removed by
Town Officials Order

Cleanup Week, which was in effect
for two weeks or more, the extended
time being necessary owing to unu-
sualy weather conditions, was brought
to close last Friday evening after a
busy week for the several men who
assisted in trucking away from the
town the vast amount of accumulated
rubbish that had been stacked up
during the winter and early spring.
According to Street Commissioner
Michael Maroney, there were forty
nine large truck and wagon loads of
trash removed from alleys and vacant
lots about the town during the clean
up period, and while the town is not
yet the spotless town all would like
it to be, the appearance is very much
improved, but it will not be possible
for the street commissioner and his
men to devote any conserted efforts
on this line of work for several weeks
at least owing to the requirements
for the proper care of the streets and
street improvement now under way.

Camp MinnetOska Opened Mon
day With Good Enrolment.

Monday of the present week mark
ed the opening of Camp Minnetoska
for the season of 1928 with an enroll
ment of nineteen girls, all of whom
are from Baltimore with the eXcep-
ton of one, who is from New York.
Camp Minnetoska is a summer
camp for girls and is located on the
shore of Lake Minnetoska on the farm
of DR.. H. W. McComas, eight miles
northwest of Oakland.
According to Frank Hansen, di
rector of the camp, the number pres
ent at the camp the opening day
equals the number of registrants last
year and the number will be increased
during the latter part of July and the
first week in August by girls from
Baltimore who will arrive at that
time and who will remain for the du-
ration of the camp. The camp will
close a short time before the opening
of the Baltimore City schools in the
fall.
Mr.. Hansen is encouraged, he says,
by the number of girls at the camp at
this time and feels confident that the
outing place is becoming favorably
known, especially in Baltimore and
in the State Of Maryland.
