DEAD FISH ARE LINING THE
BANKS OF YOUGHIOGHENY
Reports From Friendsville Says
Great Numbers are Found

That hundreds of dead fish were lin
ing the banks of the Youghiogheny
river in the vicinity of Friendsville,
was reported yesterday to The Re
publican by r. E. Guard, Friends
vile, and a number of other inter
ested parties.
The dead fish included bass, suckers,
sunfsh and trout, and all seemed to be
affected from the same cause. 1t is
not known whether the fish died from
some source of pollution of the river
OF as a result of the low water.
An inquiry at Crellin revealed
that nothing OF the same char
acter had occurred to the fish in the
upper reaches of the Youghiogheny.
An attempt will be made to have
the State Game Department investi-
gate the cause and find remedy, if
possible.
The river for several years past has
yielded few fish according to local
fishermen and if the comparatively few
that remain are not protected the
river will become depopulated Of the
fnny tribe.

ATTRACTIONS AT THE FAIR
Will Be GREATEST EVER
Henry Speicher, Manager, Says
He Has Several Unique Per-
formers for Spectators

Free attractions, amusements and
other entertainment will be better this
year at the Thirteenth Annual Gar
rett County Fair, to be held October
l, ,, 3 and 4, than ever before, ac-
cording to Henry Speicher, manager,
who has obtained the services Of sew
eral unique performers in an effort to
attract a great number Of people here
on those days.
The latest attraction he has booked
is the double parachute leap of W. j..
"Thunderbolt" Knight, who will jump
from the wing of an airplane 5000 feet
in the air on Wednesday afternoon,
October 2. This is the only day that
Knight will be available here. He will
make his leap from the wing of the
Rebby Shaw plane, which has its per
manent landing field at Weber's near
Oakland. This is one entertainment
chat is costing the Fair Association
quite sum Of money, it is stated.
The Rebby Shaw plane will be at
the fair grounds during the four days
Of the fair, Mr.. Spcicher announced,
and VIII fly with passengers. A runway
is to be built on the field for use in
taking off.
There Will be a number of shows
and rides and Independent concession
tents, many OF them by local people.
Capt. E. H. Hugo will leap daily thru
the fiery chasm on a bicycle and Che
falo will dive into a small net from
a great height every day during the
four days entertainment.
"Everything possible is being done
to entertain the people who are going
to attend the fair" Mr.. Speicher said,
land it is to be hoped that they not
only attend, but bring in their eXhib-
it's and take an active interest in this
years exposition.
q will do all l can to furnish en-
tertainment for the people if they
come and provide adequate space for
all of their exhibits, but without their
presence their exhibits and their whole
hearted assistance and cooperation,
the fair is bound to fail"

COUNTY FAIRS DEVELOP
COMMUNITY, SAYS CARTER
County Agent Writes Article in
Support of the Thirteenth An
nuaI Garrett County Exhibit

THE Garrett County Fair is a
means of developing the county,
especially the farm practices, the
school and the home" John H.
Carter, county agent, writes in
support Of the coming 18th An
nual Garrett County Fair to be
held in Oakland on October l, 2,
3 and 4.
ut is means of bringing together
the people socially and in a common
frame Of mind to study local problems
and to work out program to bring
about needed development of the coun-
ty agriculturaIly. Team work is need
ed not only in athletics but in all
kinds of organizations, especially
those of a rural type.
The county fair brings out the best
products that can be provided by the
home or the farm and is indirectly a
review of the years work The COM
petitive spirit is an educational slim
illus for greater achievement rather
than winning prizes in money. Prize
money is not given to reimburse one
for exhibiting at the fair, but is given
as a token of apprecition for the spirit
people have in promoting their county.
Everyone in the community, and
the community includes the entire
county, is counted upon to be in this
fair. Everyone may not be competing
for prizes, but the program is arrang-
ed to entertain and benefit everyone.
THE value of comparing by sight
can hardly be determined financially.
A fair should be an educational
institution calculated to raise the
standard Of the county, to encourage
the production of better crops and
better livestock, and to promote the
highest standards of living.
Remember, the Garrett County
Fair depends upon the people in the
county. The time is drawing near.
Start now to select your products or
prepare your exhibit, and let US make
the 1929 fair one of which every cit
izen will be proud"

1890 WATER REGATTATO
BE HELD JULY 4 AND 5
Dates Fixed at Meeting On Mon
day Night-CelebratiOn to be
Made Self-Supporting

That the regatta to be held at Deep
Creek Lake next year will be sure
fire success was the unanimous opinion
Of the members Of the regatta COM
mittee at a meeting held Monday ev-
ening at the home of Mrs. Sally
Burch, the chairman.
The date set for the holding of the
regatta is July 4th and 9Th. The fact
shat these dates fall on Friday and
Saturday will give an opportunity to
those desiring to spend the National
holiday out of the cities to make it
3-day weekend trip to the mountains.
A number of committees were au-
thorized the appointment being left
in the hands of the executive commit
tee By the first of October it is ex-
pected these committees will be or
ganized for action, plans formulated
and definite detectives adopted
In addition to securing the very best
attractions in the way Of water sports
motor boat races, aqua plane stunts
and every event that goes into the
making Of an Interesting and thrill
ing regatta, the committee decided to
Put on water carnival and pageant
that will be novel and entertaining.
1t is believed, further, that the COM
mittee in charge of that part Of the
program will be able to secure one or
more hydropIanes, as it was recently
demonstrated that the lake is an ideal
place for the alighting and take-of7
Of a plane Of this character
To Be Self Supporting
After the matter had been thor
oughly discussed the committee was of
the opinion that the regatta could be
made self supporting. This would do
away with the labor and annoyance Of
personal solicitation of funds. How
ever, it was further decided that a
certain amount must be underwritten
in order that the committee might
have in hand a sufficient amount of
cash to enable it to do the necessary
preliminary work in the shape of pub
licity, carrying on correspondence in
cident to soliciting advertising for the
program, securing entrants, etc. In
other words the committee decided to
put this regatta at the start on a
sound business basis, feeling that if it
could do SO, it would become a fixed
annual event From amounts already
pledged the underwriting is assured,
it has been learned.
