To 100000 With Which To
Extend System In County
FAvORs BUILDING 70 MILES

Former State Senator John w. Nc

To the Editor of The Republican.
Referring to the new road project
and the meeting called by the County
Commissioners and dinner at the
Manhattan Hotel some time ago for
the purpose of having Hon. G. Clinton
Uhl, chairman of the State Roads
Commission, explain what could be
done next year in helping the back-ly-
ing districts of our county to build at
least fifty miles of State roads to let
them out to the markets. Mr.. UhPs
explanation was very thorough and
was given serious thought by large
number of prominent citizens of the
county who were present at the din
ner.
1t developed in the meeting that if
the county was to issue bonds and tie
up the road appropriations for num-
Der of years, the following roads prof.
ects should be considered, namely:
The road from Blooming Rose church
to the Pennsylvania line near Mark
leysburg; the road from the top of
Little Savage Mountain to the Penn
sylvania State line via Finzel; road
from Grantsville via Bittinger to con-
meet with the main highway near Nc
Henry or the Deep Creek Bridge, and
a road leading off of this road near
Bittinger and running through the
North Glade country and connecting
with the Kitzmiller road east of Deer
Park; a road through District No. 1
to Bloomington and short connection

PRESTON COUNTY JUDGE
GIVES D'WITT TEN YEARS
COnfesses to Stealing AutOmO-
bile of Sheriff w. w. Williams

Ten years in the State penitentiary
at Moundsville was meted out by
Judge A. G. Hughes, of Preston coun-
ty, w. Va, in the circuit court there
Friday afternoon to Dave Dewitt, of
Oakland, who confessed to participa-
ton in the theft of an automobile be-
longing to Sheriff w. W. Williams.
Alfred Weimer, also of Oakland,
who was with Dewitt at the time,
and who has also confessed his part
in the crime, was not sentenced, the
court taking further time to consider.
When the two men were arraigned
last week at which time they entered
their confessions, Judge Hughes de-
ferred sentence until later date. But
in the meantime Dewitt, in an at
tempted Jail break, struck George
Bolyard, deputy sheriff, over the
ear with heavy club while the lat
ter was doing some work in the Jail.
The latter crime will be held over
him during his confinement in the
penitentiary, Judge Hughes told him
in a lengthy and scathing denounce-
ment, and should his behavior be such
as to warrant it, persecution will no
doubt follow upon his release from
Moundsville.

FIRE DESTROYS BARN AND
STOCK EARLY WEDNESDAY
Ten Head of Cattle and Two
Horses Burn To Death-Eight
Cattle Run To Safety
INCENDIARISM is BLAMED

A barn belonging to Arch Spiker,
about three miles south of Oakland,
and a number of cattle belonging to
Owen Martin, were destroyed by fire
about 1 o'clock Wednesday morning.
Incendiarism is thought to have been
the cause of the blaze.
The fire was discovered by motor
list who happened to be passing at the
time, and he notified the Oakland
Volunteer Fire department. The blaze
had gained too great Roadway, how
ever, and the barn had collapsed be-
fore the department arrived.
Mr.. Martin lost 10 head of cattle,
one mare and one colt, valued at
more than $500. Eight head of cattle,
also in the barn at the time of the fire,
escaped.
Several tons of hay, valued at
about 5000, were consumed, along
with road wagon and some farm
machinery. The barn was partly
covered by insurance, but the stock
and machinery are total loss.

PED CROSS MEMBERS ARE
STILL BEING TURNED In
Ninety-seven Names Added Dur
ing Present Week Bring Total
Reported To BAT For Year
ia OAKLANDERs LISTED

The funds raised in the annual Red
Cross membership drive are rolling in
for people have really responded he
roically to this years special call
Ninety-seven names have been ad-
ded to the list during the present
week, making the total reported for
the year BAT, or So under the county's
quota. Oakland leads the list with
TIA names, while Grantsville is next
with az members and two donations.
Accident reported So; Crellin, %;
Kitzmiller, %; Mt. Lake Park, II;
Selbysport, 10; Loeb Lynn, 9; Deer
Park, 8.
The final report is not yet ready for
publication because few of the chair
men have not handed in reports.
Special praise is due to Accident
and to Deer Park for large increase
over last years Red Cross member
ship. The report of Miss Nina B.
Peck, chairman at Accident, shows a
45 per cent increase in contributions
and that of Mrs. Edward Helbig at
Deer Park a desire to help our unfor-
tunate brothers that is noteworthy.
To the county health nurse, who
works hand in hand with Red Cross
leaders, contributions have come in,
showing widespread interest in allie
Walton of suffering.
Through Mr.. j. w. Ream the people
of Loeb Lynn and Mountain Lake
Park sent 1886, the proceeds of an
offering taken at the union Thanks
giving service, to Mrs. Fahey for use
in charity work. The Cumberland and
Allegheny Gas Company, through Mr..
Roland Gilbert, has contributed the
$40 usually spent in Christmas win
dow decoration, toward charity work
in the county.
Although the response to the Red
Cross "call" has been encouraging,
when we consider subnormal condi-
tions, Garrett county is going to fall
short $50 or SIS of the $400 quota so
badly needed to keep Red Cross work
going this year. Even now it is not
too late to join. Anyone who has been
"missed" by solicitors or who did not
find it convenient to give when he
was asked, may help by sending in a
contribution, however small, to any
Red Cross chairman.
At present the most prominent Red
Gross activity is collection and prep
aration of clothing for pre-school chill
6ren and those who cannot attend
school unless proper clothing is pro-
vided. John Fitzwater, school atten-
dance officer, and both the county
health nurses have daily demands for
assistance along this line. Urgent
calls come in which cannot be an
swered because there is now very lit
tie clothing available in the county
health nurses store.
The Red Cross program is this:
/. A committee in charge of Mrs.
D. S. Davis will receive and when
necessary, make over clothing donated
for use of infants, small children and
those of school age.
2. Every Saturday afternoon from
two to four o'clock this committee will
have someone to receive donations of
old clothing in it's work-room adjoin-

PLANS MADE FOR CONTEST
In CHRISTMAS LIGHTING
Prizes TOtaling $500 Will Be
Offered-COntestants Must Fill
In Entry Blank
JUDGES TO BE ANNOUNCED

Two weeks until Christmas and al
ready many plans have been made by
Oakland citizens to beautify both the
inside and outside of their homes
with colored lights and other decora-
tions. Interest is being manifest in
the outdoor Christmas lighting con-
test being sponsored here by the Ro-
tary Club, and queries are being re-
ceived about entering the contest for
which prizes totaling $500 are being
offered. Today an entry blank is
printed in another part of the paper,
Oakland residents who wish to enter
their homes in the contest will fill out
the blank and return it to this paper
as soon as possible.
Judges, who will be announced
shortly, will make their rounds in the
week between Christmas and New
Years. They will visit every home
entered in the contest and will base
their final decisions on originality,
effectiveness and general appearance
of the decorated and lighted homes,
along with utilization of possibilities,
rather than elaborate display and or
nate lighting and decorating schemes.
Many homes here displayed out
door Christmas lighting and decort-
lions last year, but this year it is ex-
pected that twice as many homes will
reflect the true. Christmas spirit of
good will and cheer by means of the
colored lights, twined among ever
green or other decorative effects.
This entire section of the state was
ablaze with outdoor lighted decora-
lions last year and Oakland did its
part in making the scene beautiful.
Snow helped the general effect last
year, but even without the snow Oak
land would have enjoyed it's most
beautiful Christmas week.
"Make the Outdoors Bright with
Christmas Light" was the slogan for
the outdoor Christmas lighting move
ment that swept this section last year,
and the same slogan carries the spirit
of the Oakland contest this year.
Colored lights, arranged about the
caves, porches, shrubbery, and other
parts of the home and yard will make
the outdoors bright, and a source of
cheer for those who pass nightly.
Next week a number of ideas for
decorating the outside of. the home
will be published, along with further
details of the contest.

one-tenth as much water is stored"
In addition to the interest at

the great lake it will form, the des-
ert topography and vegation will
appeal to scientists, he said. AS the
area is easily accessible to Los An
geles, he believes it offers unusual
opportunities of development.
The crest of the dam will bridge
the Colorado for a new link in the

gested that the dam might be "link-
