resources of all kinds. am delighted
to see the establishment of this tablet
commemorating the tremendous work
they did and honoring them for the
great vision they must have had to

Mr.. Jackson read several letters from
invited guests who were unable to at

Lawrence G. Phipps of Colorado, who
wrote:
DIR. F. v. Hayden, pioneer American
geologiSt, is entitled to the Nations
honor because of his services in con-
nection with the establishment of this
valuable branch of the Federal Govern

Pioneering efforts Of the United States
Geological Survey under the leadership
Of the late Ferdinand v. Hayden, first
United States geologist in charge, which
resulted in many scientific developments
of importance in the history of the
Nation, were memorialized by the I'M

Building of bronze tablet to be crested
on. behalf Of the surviving members OF
the original Hayden survey.
The labors of DR.. Hayden and the
members of his original survey are
credited with large part in the OPEN
ing of the western United States to
development, for the fostering of studies
along the same and allied lines by later
Federal agencies and for the accumula-
ton of scientific knowledge of the
beauties and resources of what then
was little known portion of the United

Survivors Are Present.
In opening the meeting william H.
Jackson, one of the six surviving mem
bers of the Hayden survey, who pre-

of the National Capital and Of the Ma

and artist on the original survey, who
retired three years ago from the Office
of Public Buildings and Public Parks of
the National Capital.
In the principal address Of the oc-
casfon, Representative Guy v. Hardy of
Colorado, in whose State much Of the
important work of the Hayden survey
was carried on, paid high tribute to the
ability and energy Of the scientists
composing that party, many Of whom
since have gained international fame
in scientific circles.

An Interesting Fact

In this age of rapid news gathering
we look back with wonderment at the
elapsed time between the happening
of an event of National Importance
and its appearance in the press of the
day, in early times. ~
1t was not until the year 1887 that
the penny newspaper appeared in
Baltimore, it being journal founded
by Arunah S. Abel, who rather aston
ished the reading public, shortly after
that time, by establishing an original
method of news gathering. He insti-
tuted PONY express" from Wash
ington to Baltimore. For two decades
thereafter, the National government
was almost entirely dependent on this
newspaper of Baltimore for it's news.
Then came the introduction of car
rier pigeons to supplement the ponies
and speed up the dissemination of the
news of the nation. It is suggested
by one historian that this forward
movement was the first air service es-
tablished in the United States. But
these, to US, anticipated methods of
news gathering were to be cast into
the discard. 90
A young man by the name of Sam
uel F. 3. Morse had been fighting dis
enlargement and skepticism for a
number of years attempting to secure
the funds for practical demonstra-
ton of method of "propelling gal
vanic fluid through wires" with amaz-
ing speed" It was in the early part
of the year 1874, when by the aid of
the influence of the Baltimore Sun
and representative of Maryland in
the Congress that Morse secured a
sufficient appropriation from the Gov
eminent to construct ar. experimental
commercial telegraph line from Wash
ington to Baltimore.
We can visualize the high-hatted
frock-coated gentlemen of that period,
as they gathered in a room in the
Baltimore and Ohio passenger sta
ton in Baltimore, as the inventor
seated himself at the instrument and
clicked out, in dots and dashes, the
epic-making sentence, "What hath
God wrought" the first words to be
transmitted between two given points
at such a distance through wires by
aid Of the "galvanic fluid"
On May IL, 1916, the Sun aston
ished the reading public. by giving to
it the complete message of President
Polk received by telegraphic trans
mission. -
How long will it be before the tele-
graph instruments are discarded as
out of date, to be supplanted by the
radio? 81

GARRETT PRODUCTS

For the first time in the history of
the county, the Garrett county maple
sugar and maple syrup producers will
attempt to market their products I'M
der "Federal-State Inspection" and
introduce to the entire United States
that syrup made in Garrett county
is as good or even better than that
produced elsewhere.
Instead of selling to producers of
Vermont maple syrup one of Garrett
county's leading products, the Maple
Products Association will advertise
the syrup and sugar as Garrett coun-
tvs own and will prove that there is
none better.
The association was formed follow
ing a suggestion made in The Re-
publican year or more ago, which
was taken up by the Forestry Depart
ment of Maryland through Mr.. F. B.
Trenk, and John H. Carter, county
agent, with the producers themselves.
The latter have been made to see the
value of marketing their products di-
rect, and incidentally this will help
advertise Garrett county.
The loyal support of every citizen
of Garrett county is asked for this
new organization. It is well worth
developing,

To the Editor. of The Republican.
Mrs. Wilson and myself have just
returned to Leesburg from the South
Florida Fair at Tampa. They GER
tainly had great fair this year and
it was well attended. It is estimated
that $4,000 persons were present on
Monday, which was known as Gaspa-
rilla Day. Gasparilla was pirate,
and he was supposed to have captured
Tampa many years ago. Now they
celebrate the event every year by hav-
ing he and his crew of hijackers cap
ture the city in friendly way and a
great holiday is made of it. This year
they had two airships and several air
planes, besides the usual boats. Fol-
lowing the bombardment and surren-
der of the city they have a big parade
of beautiful floats, etc., with bands
and other attractions.
There are more people in Florida
this winter than for several years and
tourists are getting more for their
money. Hotel rates and living ex-
penses are much lower. than in the
boom days and if one wants to buy
property-well, a pretty good farm
can be bought now for what town lots
sold for four or five years ago.

FIFTY YEARS OF BATTLE
SHIPS
Bv Lucy Meacham Thurston

by Lucy Meacnam 1nurSCOn
Down in Norfolk last year l was
talking with a woman who lived in a
house facing Hampton Roads whose
people for generations had lived
eventless months and tragic days in
that same old four-chimneyed house
of salt-stained brick. Over that gen.
Grafton which knew the Civil War,
the affairs of the Merrimac and Moni-
tor, fought in sight of their windows,
had laid an indelible impression. She
could tell the tale with earnestness
which her mother and grandmother
had placed upon it.
Yet within five hours after talking
with her was on steamer making
its way between the gray monsters Of
battleships lying in that same harbor
of Hampton Roads, down at the
mouth of the James, where that first
conflict of armoured ships had been
fought.
Who, fresh from that story of his
toric fight, could have helped follow
ing the first conflict of ironclads on to
the date of 1929? And who, familiar
with legends of the sea, could have
failed to recall pictured ships of the
Viking age, with shields swung along
their sides, later ships with sheets of
metal flung out as guards, on to this
1862 invention of ship sheathed in
iron plate and another turreted in
steel, then to the battleship which
sprung from these last inventions.
That contest betwee nthe Merrimac
and Monitor marked the end of the
wooden frigate, and for fifty years
and more the battleship succeeding it
has grown more ponderous and expen-
sive until other inventions have begun
to write a period to it's existence.
One invention was the torpedo, fol-
lowed by the submarine. The torpe-
do demonstrated its, deadliness when
in harbor Of Chile, in 1891, two
torpedo boats sent their instruments
of destruction against two anchored
men of war, sending one of them to
the bottom in five minutes. The other
invention is recent-that of the air
plane carrying deadly bombs.
And how about the battleship? How
about the amount of the wealth of the
nations tied up in them? Should the
building of battleships continue? If
not, why?
The five great naval powers of the
world have now altogether 62 battle
ships. -
The United States, 10; Great Brit
ain, 20; Japan, 10; France, 9; Italy,
5.
The upkeep of the is United States
battleships costs $40,0O0,000 per year,
it would cost at least $40,000,000 to
replace any one of them. Because it
is proven obsolete, superseded by 9TH
er inventions, the .battleship is
doomed. Yet a former naval officer
writes, "The curious part of it all is
that the battleship tradition is still
strong enough to be point of debate
