CASTLEMAN RAILROAD TO
AGAIN RESUME OPERATING
Transfer of Railroads in Garrett
and Somerset Counties Author
lied by Interstate Commission

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion last Friday authorized John
Hersker and the Castleman River
Railroad company to acquire and
operate lines of railroad in Garrett
county, Maryland, and Somerset coun-
ty, Pennsylvania.
One line formerly owned by the
Castleman Valley Railroad company
extends from a point about four and
one-half miles south of Jennings to
the Maryland Pennsylvania state line,
1913 miles in length and all in Garrett
county.
The other, property of the Pennsyl-
vania- Castleman Valley Railroad, ex-
tends from a connection with the
Castleman Valley North to a connec-
ton with the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road at Worth Junction. 1t is one
and one-fifth miles long and is in
Somerset county.
Sold To Hersker
The Castleman Valley operated the
first line until May 27, 1927, when a
receiver was appointed by the dis
trict court of the United States for
Maryland. Subsequently the line was
sold to John Hersker individually and
as agent for the majority stockhol-
ders of the Castleman Valley, the
sale being ratified by court order. on
last August.
AS Hersker was not prepared to as
sumo operation of the line at that
time he arranged to have the receiver
continue operation. Hersker and his
associates organized the Castleman
River railroad company under the
laws of Maryland, last October, and
the present decision is the sequel to
that organization. Hersker intends
to transfer the properties to the
Castleman River. The Pennsylvania
Castleman Valley had been operated
by the Castleman Valley and receiver
under a lease for a term of ten
thousand years, October 7, 1924. Her.
skier now has the ten thousand year
lease.
Owners of coal mines, suffering
from depression in recent years, have
signifed intention, the decision says,
of commencing operations when the
railroad is placed on a staple basis.
During the first year of operation the
road expects to handle 600 carloads of
lumber products, 5000 carloads of
coal, 5000 carloads of fertilizer and
much other traffic.

GIRL INSTANTLY KILLED
in AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
Four Others Seriously Injured
When Car Strikes Tree Near
Aurora Sunday Night

Hazel Wable, aged about nineteen
years, was instantly killed and her
sister Margaret, brothers Charles and
James, Jr., and father, James Wable,
prominent farmer living near Terra
Alta, were seriously injured Sunday
evening about nine o'clock when the
car in which they were riding ran into
tree standing by the side of the
Northwestern Turnpike near Aurora.
The father and his family had driv-
en- to Rowlesburg earlier in the day
and were returning home, with the
son Charles driving the car. On en-
tering Aurora the car was going at a
rather high rate of speed and it is
thought that tire blew out, as the
car was thrown crosswise of the high
way, and the rear end struck against
a tree standing only short distance
from the side of the roadway.
Hazel, in the rear seat, was instant
ly killed, her head, it is thought, hav-
ing come in contact with much force
against the tree. She was also badly
bruised and cut. Mr.. Wable suffered
internal injuries; Charles had one of
his arms broken and many cuts and
bruises; Margaret was severely cut
on her chin and had her legs bruised,
while James, Jr., had his lips cut and
suffered many bruises on his legs.
The injured members of the party
were all taken to homes nearby where
medical aid was summoned and the
dead girl was taken to a mortuary IN
Aurora.
Funeral services for Miss Wable
were held Monday afternoon at two
o'clock from Pine Run church of which
she was member. Rev. o. M. Cross
officiated.

cided to hold the camp during the lat

gust. 1t was also decided that men,
bers of the Scout troop in former
years who had gone away to school,
in good standing, could attend camp
for the sum of S. each week; and that
also members of other Scout troops
who could present paid-up dues card
and who showed interest in Scout

providing they would abide by the
camp rules.

club held at the home of Mrs. James

and Mrs. Walter B. Brock were the

were present. Miss Benthien spoke
on Better Homes, and sub-topics I'M
der this heading included furnishing
room, placing of furniture, color
combination, window treatment, pic
ture hanging and grouping, and ac-
cessories in the room.
Mrs. Brock spoke in favor Of the
Shepherd-Tow bill, which is soon
to come before the national legisla-
ture. Her topic was what Risks
Motherhood and stated that there
was a higher death rate in the United
States than in any other country. The
causes of death from motherhood
were given as inefficient clinical work,
ignorance of mid-wives, poor teach
ing. Only ten states require diplomas
for this work and only two have
schools, it was pointed out. The Shep-
herd-Towner bill is to relieve this
condition.
Following a short business meeting
refreshments were served and the

More Pay A Reason

"Since ninety-three per cent OF the
white elementary teachers and only
sixty-six per cent of the white high
school teachers are women, the pro-
portion leaving for this cause is nat
urally greater in the elementary than
in the high schools.
"The attraction of other communi-
ties with higher salaries was next in
Importance in causing designations,
forty-three leaving the county white
elementary schools and forty-six
white high schools. Since there are
three times as many elementary as
high school teachers the number
leaving service in the county high
schools is of Importance.
Fewer ResignatiOs
"The counties lost to Baltimore city
sixteen of their white elementary
school teachers, varying in years of
experience from one to seven.
son the whole, the reduction in
designations from preceding years in
dictates a greater sterilization of the

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 6.-CoSts, not
prices, are the weapons counted on by
American industry today to capture
markets at home and abroad. 1t is now
recognized by the progressive leaders
that Americas strength, both at home
and abroad, lies in volume of produc-
ton and distribution and quality rather
than in advances in price. The narrow
ing of the margins of profit, which vol
ume permits, is counterbalancing cheap
foreign labor
1t is for this reason that steel men
and Government officials see in the &C
QUESTION of the Columbia Steel Corpo-
ration by U. S. Steel a long-range
sighting shot in the bombardment Of
domestic and foreign markets.
This move assures to the leading
steel interests, in the first place, sources
of raw material supply at points partic-
ularly well situated with respect to mar
kets for finished products, which are
growing with utmost rapidity. 1t also
provides plants for turning those raw
materials into manufactured products
cheaply. Combined, these factors mean
a striking reduction of production and
distribution costs.
The Columbia Steel Corporation in
its formation combined the Columbia
Steel Co. and the Utah Coal e. Coke
Co., with tremendous bituminous coal
deposits in Utah. It also owns the
Milber. Dear-Lerch holdings at Iron
Mountain, Utah, which include an en-
tire mountain of high-grade iron ore.
1t also has lease on Government
owned coal lands in Cargon County.
Utah, which it mines on royalty basis,
paying the Government 1872 cents a
ton. It also has lime deposits and other
raw material supplies.
Columbia has steel plants at IRON
ton. Utah; at Terrence and Pittsburgh,
Calf, and at Portland, Greg. The
U. S. Steel Corporation holds control of
tremendous iron deposits in China it
has held in reserve for years. It was
with the idea Of eventual utilization of
these deposits that the company acA
quired the old Scott Iron Works at
San Francisco years ago. These ORR
entail iron supplies can be laid down at
the company's Pacific Coast plants at
a minimum expense, since transporta-
ton is largely by water and production
is by use of low-priced Chinese labor.
The leading interest has tremendous
holdings in the iron districts Of Min
nesota, but the days of even these huge
deposits are numbered. Moreover man.
ufacture of steel products near the CEN
tiers Of consumption is economically
advisable.
The markets available for the CO.
lumbia plants have prospects of mag
niflcent future.
