CUMBERLAND ROAD MAP
WILL Be SEEN AT THE FAIR
Begun in 1911 the National Pike
Is Mentioned In Article By
o.
Research Committee

Cumberland, as the place where the
old Cumberland Road, one of Ameri-
cas- early historic highways, was
started in 1911, is mentioned in an ac-
count of the old road by Mark Nor
ris, research assistant to the Iowa
State Highway Commission. AS a
member of the National Research
Council Science Advisory Committee,
Mr.. Morris has recommended that
map of the ancient highway be made
part of the civil engineering exhibit at
the 1888 Chicago Worlds Fair.
The Cumberland Road, variously
known in it's day as the "United
States Road, the National Road,
OF the "Old Pike, was the first large
road project in this country, and the
first road, according to Mr.. Morris, in
which engineers were used in con-
struction work. Its representation at
the Chicago Fair would be for the
purpose of showing progress in high
way engineering.
In 1911, Mr.. Morris writes, the first
contract was awarded for ten miles
of the road west of Cumberland.
The project, Mr.. Morris points out,
was closely related to the admission
of Ohio into the Union, which occur
red in 1903. The Act of Congress pro
posing Ohio's admission contained a
clause providing for road to join the
new state with those that had been
the original thirteen colonies. This
resulted, largely, thru the influence OF
Albert Gallatin, Secretary of the
Treasury in the cabinets of Jefferson
and Madison, in a special Act of Con-
gress approved on March 29, 1906, "to
regulate the laying out and making OF
road from Cumberland in the State
of Maryland to the State Of Ohio"
President Jefferson appointed a
commission consisting of Thomas
Moore and Eli Williams of Maryland,
and Joseph Kerr of Ohio, who laid
out the road from. Cumberland to
point on the Ohio River near Wheel
ing, West Virginia. The surveyor for
this section was Josiah Thompson and
his assistant was Arthur Rider.
The road was opened to the Ohio
River in 1918. In 1925, an Act Of
Congress authorized an extension to
the Mississippi River north of St.
Louis, but the road was never COM
pleted that far due to railway coE1pe-
tition. In 1888, the year Chicago be-
came a city, the road was completed
to GAINESVILLE, Ohio, graded to Van
dalia and surveyed to st. Louis.
The highway was built by U. 5.
Army engineers and cost $6,828, 324,-
46. 1t was TOO miles long.
"The Cum ber land Highway"
writes Mr.. Morris, twas of very great
Importance in the development of the
Middle West and the Eastern States
and occupied a real important place
in the growth and developments of the
United States into a union of states"
The route followed by the old road,
Mr.. Morris notes, is now followed
quite closely by Federal Route No. 40.

corn and put it in the corner. The
next morning when he went in to get
the corn to feed to the hens there was
still some shelled corn in that corner.
However. 1t looked to Farmer Brown
Boy as If there were not as much as he
had left there. He didn't touch 1t. He
didn't add to it. He left the little pile
just as it was. The next morning there
was no little pile there. Then Farmer
Browns Boy knew some one was getting
into that corncrib and taking that corn.
He scratched his head thoughtfully. 1t
might be a mouse. 1t might be a rat.
1t might be Chatterer the Red Squirrel.
The question was, which was it? Hav-
ing twice been fooled by Chatterer, and
having at no time found trace of a
mouse or a rat, Farmer Browns Boy
strongly suspected Chatterer again.
Still, he couldn't see for the life of him
how it could be possible for Chatterer
to be getting into that corncrib again.
He went out and looked the corncrib
all over, as he had done so many times
before. Certainly Chatterer could not
get into that corncrib from the ground.
He just can't do it." said Farmer
Browns Boy. He just can't do 1t, and
that's all there is to that" Then he
looked carefully at the nearest trees
and the nearest posts, and made up his
mind that Chatterer couldn't possibly
jump from any of these to the corncrib.
1T can't be Chatterer," said he. IT
know it can't. as well as I know my
own name. I am just as sure of it..
And yet-well, that corn Is disappear
ing, and that's all there is to 1t. No.
body can take 1t. Yet somebody is
taking it, and there you are! I've got
to find out about this. I wish there
would come another snow A few tracks
might tell me something"
Meanwhile over in the Green Forest
Chatterer was chuckling to himself.
Every time he thought of Farmer
Browns Boy he chuckled. He would
go up to the old stone wall and sit on
the end of it, where he could see
Farmer Browns Boy working about the
barn, and he would chuckle. It was
just as If he knew exactly what was
going on in the mind of Farmer Browns
Boy. and was enjoying 1t. Once in a
while he would look over at the corn
crib and then he would chuckle more
than ever.
He thinks no one can get that corn"
Chatterer would chuckle to himself
He thinks no one can get into that
corncrib. I hope he'll keep right on
thinking so. Yes. sir, do So"

pared to be as positive as he had been
In the past.
Twice Chatterer has been too much
for me-" said Farmer Browns Boy, talk
ing to himself. Twice have been
positive that there was no way for Chat
terer to get into the corncrib. Both
times Chatterer has fooled me. Both
times have discovered that there was
a. way. Of course, may be mistaken.

being taken Just the same, this looks
to me like freshly shelled corncob.

Farmer Browns Boy was puzzled. as
He was still losing corn from the corn
crib. At first he couldn't believe it.
He was sure that now that he had cut
of the hanging branch by which Chat
terer the Red Squirrel had been getting
to the roof of the corncrib he had put
a stop to all visits from Chatterer. But
he had thought that once before when
he had taken down the clothesline, by
