Following sesveral months of peace
from the usual concert rendered from
the back yard fence in the dead Of
night, there seems to be a possibility
of its return, especially in sections
just at the edge of town, according
to reports from farmers and resi-
dents in these localities.
The feline species, which became
so rare following complaint about
this time last year, is again invading
the outlying sections surrounding the
town and are bent upon destruction
of wild life and anything else that
may tend to allay hunger.
Last September a complaint was
registered at The Republican office
accusing large number of Oakland
people with depositing kittens, some
too young to get food for themselves
and others old enough to find food and

AFTER PEACEFUL NTERLUDE, CATS ARE AGAIN
BEING CARRIED TO EDGE OF TOWN AND DROPPED

wise enough to go to the hen houses
for it, at the edge of town.
People who did not have the heart
to drown the frequent additions to
their cat family, had no conjunction
whatever in giving someone else the
trouble of taking care of them, until
after complaint was raised. Then
the "big parade" was stopped.
Now, after marking time" for a
number of months, it looks like they
are again making a drive on the peo-
pie at the edge of town. There must
be one reason only for it. Winter is
coming and there aren't enough old
maids and freplaces in Oakland to
take care of them properly.
There is only one sure way Of
getting rid of a cat-shoot it nine
times.

OFFICIALS STUDY STREAM
POLLUTION IN GARRETT
Inquiry Begun In Western Mary.
land Following Complaints
Earle Makes Inspection Trip

Investigations are being carried on
by the Conservation Department of
Maryland to determine the cause for
the death of numbers of fish in the
Youghiogheny and Potomac Rivers in
Garrett county, SwepSon Earle, con-
servation commissioner, stated Satur-
day. Complaints of stream pollution
had been received at the office of the
commission from both Garrett and AL
legany counties, according to informa-
ton received at The Republican office.
Mr.. Earle returned to Baltimore Sat
urday from an inspection trip to this
section Of Maryland.
Abnormal Condition
at is believed that while drouth
cannot be blamed directly for pollu-
ton, the low state Of the streams due
to the lack of water during the month
of August has caused a condition to
exist that normal rainfall would have
prevented" Mr.. Earle explained.
THE Conservation Department has
many complaints from early spring
until fall .lative to pollution. have
decided that it is necessary to have a
sanitary engineer run down these
complaints and to determine the
source which aggravates the cause.
Delay in following up the COM
plants or the delay in being able to
run down the direct cause often makes
it impossible to place the blame"
The complaint as to the number of
dead fish in the Youghiogheny River
came from the Friendsville section
where it was said that three weeks
ago dead fish by the hundreds had
lined the banks Of the stream. All
species of fish were victims of the
pollution.
Different From Bay
"Since the department has been ac-
tive in stocking the streams Of West
ern Maryland with fish," Mr., Earle
stated, ct naturally has had to deal
with the pollution question in this part
of the State, which is entirely different
from the Chesapeake Bay pollution.
"Pollution is a serious menace to
fish life and the department is doing
everything possible to run down the
cause"
