COUNCIL TO DECIDE ON
LICENSING ORDINANCES
Regular Monthly Meeting of the
Body Held Monday Night

Decision to revise the ordinances
concerning licensing, which came up
before the council two years ago but
never were acted upon, and the writ
ing of a letter to the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad asking that the station
be left open late at night and early
in the morning, constituted the new
business at the regular monthly meet
ing of the Mayor and Town Council,
held Monday night in the Council
chamber.
The ordinances concerning licensing
of property and establishments in
town, vendors, could not be agreed
upon by members of the council when
the subject arose in 1927 and the re-
vised list was tabled. They will be
placed before council at the next
meeting for approval or disapproval.
The letter to the Baltimore and
Ohio was addressed to H. R. Laugh
lin, division superintendent, Cumber-
land, and requested that the waiting
room of the station remain open for
passengers who might wish to travel
on train No. 40, eastbound, due at
1923 a. M, and train No. 8, west
bound, due at 6:1S a. m.
Routine business and the passing of
the monthly bills occupied the re-
mainder of the meeting. The next
regular meeting will be held on Mon
day, February 8.

Catching Bank Burglars Is a
Tough Proposition

Catching bank burglars is pretty
tough proposition, Sheriff W. D. Cas-
teel believes, especially where the
burglars are. non-existent.
1t was reported several days ago
that bank robber was coming in this
direction from the neighborhood of
Winchester, Va, where he had held
up bank and escaped with several
thousand dollars in good currency.
The description of the man was fur
nished and somebody who looked very
much like the man wanted was seen
on the streets of Oakland and upon
investigation the sheriff was about to
place him under arrest and take him
to jail. The man, however, proved
his identity and was allowed to go.
Then on Tuesday morning about
GAS the burglar alarm on the First
National Bank broke loose. Scarcely
stopping to properly dress themselves
the sheriff and his deputy, JOY Grit
fifth, rushed to the corner of Second
and Alder streets with sawed-off shot
guns, sure that at last they would be
in on capture.
But in this they were also disap-
pointed, for on the day previous a
time-clock repairman had cleaned and
oiled the time-lock on the bank vault
with the result that it did not move
in accord with the other clocks in the
system, hence the alarm was automat-
ically released

RE-TRIAL is GRANTED FOR
GARRETT COUNTY WOMAN
Mrs. Anna Mckenzie Has Been
in Webster SpringsJail 2 Years

Mrs. Anna Mckenzie, formerly of
near the johnson section of Garrett
county, who has been in Jail at Web
ster Springs, W. Va, for more than
two years, has been granted re-trial
by the Supreme Court of Appeals OF
West Virginia. She had been convict
ed, of Staying her husband, Thomas
Mckenzie, and sentenced to life in the
penitentiary. Mckenzie belonged to
an old family of the eastern section
of Garrett county and his body was
buried at his native place, few miles
west of Frostburg.
The judgment of the lower court
was reversed by the Supreme Court.
and as the State is not ready for the
new trial when court convenes at
Webster Springs this week, it will ask
for continuance until the May term
and Mrs. Mckenzie may be admitted
to bail.
MI. w lllldIh II. OlutI, VI Oahieahu
appeared for Mrs. Mckenzie at the
first trial and also prepared the brief
and argued the motion for a new trial
before the Supreme Court of APP
peals.
McKenzie's body was found Octo-
Der 1, 1927, suspended from bush
near his home at Bolair, W. Va. Mrs
Mckenzie and Seymour Smith, re-
ported engaged to marry daughter
of the slain man, were charged with
murder. Smith was convicted of Sec
ond degree murder and sentenced to
eighteen years Imprisonment in the
West Virginia penitentiary.

SUM PAID FOR BOUNTIES
MAYBRING INVESTIGATION
Trappers Suspected of Illegally
Collecting Money from County

Attention of the States attorney
and the County commissioners has
been called to the great number of
bounties paid by the county for fox,
wild cat and weasel scalps during
the past few months, and whether or
not trappers are buying furs from
other persons both within and outside
the State and getting around the law
for their own personal profit. During
the month of December alone the
county treasurer, A. L. Lee, paid out
1915 in bounties.
Trapping game in this county has
come to the point where it proves to
be very profitable business, judg-
ing from the number of furs brought
to Oakland for market and shipment.
The game most frequently trapped
includes fox, weasel, mink, and occas-
ionally a wildcat, opossum, raccoon
and otter. Polecats are reported to
be plentiful, but the trapper, notwith-
standing the value of the pelts, does
not seem to care for their fur. For
killing fox the county offers boun-
ty of So, for the weasel so cents, and
for the wildcat So.
The law applicable to Garrett
county in this respect first went into
effect shortly after the county was
organized. That law was re-enacted
in 1912 and amendments added in
1914, and from then until 1924 was
repealed and re-enacted, until at that
time a law was enacted stating that
any person killing a fox, wildcat or
weasel, would be entitled to bounty.
The law, besides providing that
only the person Killing the ANIMAL is
entitled to bounty, also provides that
the animal must be killed within the
limits of the county and that an affi-
davit must be made to that effect,
and that each animal be marked by
the officer taking the affidavit.
The large sum paid out in Deem
Der caused Mr.. Lee to notify the
States attorney and County commits
sioners, and it is up to them to decide
whether or not an investigation shall
be made. Approximately $1,000 was
paid in bounties in 1927, and nearly
81 200 in 1928.

FORESTRY ORGANIZATIONS
IS PURCHASING PROPERTY
Survey Indicates That 100000
Acres Should Be Acquired

Seeking to further it's plans of for
est conservation, the state forestry
department, through F. w. Besley
state forester, Monday said it is TAX
ing up options on Glands that are
offered at sufficiently low price, and
in large enough tracts to make eco
nomical administration possible" fol-
its seeding purposes.
These options, Mr.. Besley said, en-
brace about $4,000 acres in several
parts of the state, at an average
price of two dollars per acre. Other
tracts have been offered to the de-
partment, he said, and are being ex-
amined to determine their suitability
for state forests.
This action is taken following the
appropriation CT $4,000 by the last
legislature for the purchase of land
for the state forests, the money to be
expended over two-year period. Mr.
Besley said that a survey made two
years ago showed 100000 acres of
idle land throughout the state, most
of which is forest land and fit only
for timber growing.
"The department survey indicates
that in order to meet public needs
approximately 100000 acres should
be acquired by the state," Besley said
"Land can be purchased at low cost
and be developed as great natural
resource, bringing substantial reve-
nues to the state. The forests would
provide watershed protection, natural
homes for wild life, and recreational
areas for the people of the state" he
said.

dered to the farm of Nelson C. San
ders, near Hutton, during the month

by Mr.. Sanders with very little effort,
is being trained and tanned by its cap
tor. The doe was almost completely
run down when found by Mr.. Sanders
and after notifying the game warden
he placed the animal in pen with a
calf. The deer is apparently salts
fed with its surroundings, according
to Mr.. Sanders, and is going to make
a fine pet.

MAY ELECTROMAGNETIC
NAVICABLE TO CAPITAL
Army Engineers Survey Route
From Ohio River At Pitts
burgh To Tidewater

1t was announced in Washington on
last Friday and sent out by the As
ISOLATED Press that surveys had been
practically completed by the United
States Army engineers of the Poto-
mac river and its tributaries such as
Wills Creek and Savage River in the
Allegany mountains for proposed
canalized waterway from Washington
to Cumberland and connecting with
the Ohio river at Pittsburgh with tide
water.
Four HydrO-electric Dams.
Investigation at the Washington Of
flee discloses that to canalize the Po-
tomac river between Washington and
Cumberland, series of 81 dams are
necessary, four of them to be power
navigation dams capable of supply
ing 1,0OO,OOO,0OO kilowatt hours Of
prime power annually, with con-
struction cost of approximately $780,
100000.
The plans call for 12-foot chan
mel in the Potomac river from Wash
ington to Cumberland, and some dis
lance beyond Cumberland. A nine-foot
waterway tunnel is proposed under
the mountains to the Youghiogheny
river, then through three locks and
dams to the mouth of that stream at
McKeesport with the Monongahela
river.
Canal Tunnel Under Mountain.
A tunnel that would be driven I'M
der the foothills from point near
West Newton, Pa, is declared FEAST
BILE and more practical than series
of locks and dams to the top of the
mountain divide, which has an eleva-
ton of 1900 feet.
In connection with the survey which
has been made for several years, nav
igation, water power, flood control,
and irrigation have been considered.
Engineers have been at Cumberland
and in the eastern section Of Garrett
county for several months.
Four Routes Considered.
Four routes now are being consid-
cred by the Washington Office of the
United States engineers, under direc-
ton of Major Brehon Somervel. These
routes are Willis Creek and Castle
man River, Savage River via Piney
Creek, or Castleman River, or Deep
: Creek and Youghiogheny River and
also the north branch of the Potomac
River with the Youghiogheny River.
All of these proposed routes would ul-
timately end in the Youghiogheny
River, giving Pittsburgh another out
let to tidewater.
The question of a tunnel waterway
is an old one, it was pointed out, as
there is one in existence in Belgium,
approximately six miles in length, in
which boats are barges are transport
ed successfully.
The survey is done under House
document No. 308, 1928.
Report Later to Congress
Under the same authority the Pitts
burgh district, which lies on the west
of the watershed, also is making COM
prehensive and detailed studies for
the utilization of the waterways on
the west side of the mountain. Such
studies will include the advisability
of connecting waterways with the Po-
tomac system, taking into considera-
ton the physical and economical fea-
lures of such an undertaking. These
Investigations, which have been made
off and on for a long period of years,
will eventually connect up with the
studies now being made by the Wash
ington department and later will
make a comprehensive report to be
submitted to Congress.
