No Temperature Record Broken,
Although Weather is Quite
Springlike.

Although Old Dame Thermometer
hung around the marks between so
and sc during the daytime of the past
week, no temperature records were
broken, according to the readings of
the mercury at the government sta
ton out at the Weber greenhouses,
located a mile east of town.
Records at this station show that a
good many years ago January wealth
er was much more unusual than it
was earlier during this week and the
mercury was pushed upward to II
degrees, a temperature much higher
than was being recorded at the time
in the Valley of Virginia.
The weather, however, during the
past week was sufficiently springlike
to bring snakes out of their winter
quarters on Shaggy Mountain and
even grounding was reported as
having been seen just about three
weeks before his appointed day to
appear on natures stage.

Stone Bridge Near Grantsville Is
Given Editorial Praise

In a recent editorial reference to
the old stone bridges of Maryland, the
Baltimore Evening Sun had the fol-
lowing to say about the structure on
the National Highway near Grants
vile, Garrett county:
"For true and striking loneliness,
however, the old stone bridge which
it's admirers place above all others in
Maryland is the one that spans Cas-
tleman River on the National High
way just east of Grantsville. There it
is, well past the century mark, a me-
mortal to the engineers who carried
the famous road west from Cumber-
land and the headwaters of the old
canal to open up the wild western re-
gions beyond the Appalachians.
can appreciative motorist will not
cross it without first stopping and
making side trip on foot to gain a
view of its full sweep, but thousands
do cross it in ignorance of it's colorful
past and its present beauty. This is
because it is too efficient to be good
advertiser. It supports the States
great motor artery as easily as it did
the eight and ten horse teams of the
pioneers who moved westward to
make come true the dreams of that
visionary, G. Washington"

THIEVESENTER CREAMERY
AND KAHL'S planning MILL
No Clue as to Identity of Rob-
bers Has Been Discovered

No clue as to the identity of the
thieves who broke into Kahls Planning
Mill and the Oakland Creamery on
Monday night, has been discovered,
according to w. D. Casteel, sheriff.
Entrance into both places was eff
fected by prying windows open in the
rear of the buildings. The filing cabi-
net in Kahl's Mill was forced open
with a wedge bar and about SIS taken.
A little over two dollars was obtained
from the cash register of the Oak
land Creamery company.
Sheriff w. D. Casteel made an in
vestigation the next morning when
the robbery was discovered and found
tracks leading from the rear of the
mill to the rear of the creamery, but
nothing further could be discovered.
Whether or not the robbery was
committed by two strangers who had
been seen in that vicinity earlier in
the evening, or by local "talent" could
not be determined. Officers were in
clined to think that it was not local
job.

NATURAL GAS TO Be PIPED
INTO EVANSVILLE SOON
C. & A. Gas Company Engineers
Now Surveying Line-May Be
Furnished Consumers in March

Preparatory to laying gas mains
which will supply Grantsville, Garrett
county, with natural gas, an engi-
neering corps of the Cumberland and
Allegheny Gas Company is surveying
a line from Grantsville to the PENN
sylvania State boundary, it has been
announced.
Gas will be piped through one Of the
pipe lines originally owned by the
Standard Oil Company which run
from the Morgantown district to Phil
adelphia and which are just north of
the Maryland State boundary in the
State of Pennsylvania. At a point
to be indicated by the engineers the
main line will be tapped and gas will
be led to Grantsville, where, it has
been announced, service will begin
about March LIST provided weather
conditions permit.
The six miles of gas main from
Cumberland to the Pennsylvania line
has already been laid and this con-
meets with the main line leading to
Philadelphia. A two-mile connecting
link between Grantsville and the line
in Pennsylvania is only necessary to
complete the service into Grantsville.
Representatives of the gas COM
pany have completed canvassing the
town of Grantsville and practically
every property owner has signed an
agreement to use the product and
are much interested in being able to
have this great convenience and labor
saver brought into the town.
An ordinance granting the G. & A.
Gas Company a franchise to serve
Grantsville with natural gas was in
troduced at meeting of the Town
Council of Grantsville on July 8 Of
last year which was passed by that
body and rates to be charged prospec-
tive consumers of gas were approved
by the Council.
When this line is completed the gas
company will serve the following
towns in Garrett county: Oakland,
Mountain Lake Park, Deer Park, Loeb
Lynn Heights, Hutton, Bloomington,
Kitzmiller, Dodson, German and the
vicinity on the Maryland side of the
Potomac river opposite Bayard,, w.
Va.

MISS BECKY" MILLER is
SERIOUSLY HURT IN FALL
Nose Is Broken and Right Arm
Crushed at Wrist and Elbow

Miss Rebecca Miller, who will be
SO years old in July, had her right
arm broken at the wrist and elbow,
and her nose broken when she fell
down the steps at the home of DIR.
Henry w. McComas Monday night
about II o'clock.
Her room is directly at the top of
the stairway and it was thought that
after she had turned out her light to
retire she was unable to find the bed,
and in her search came to the head of
the stairs. She was made as comfor-
table as possible in a downstairs
room where she was given medical at
tention.
Miss Becky, as she is known, was
born July z, 1887, at Salisbury, Pa,
and has been a resident of Oakland
for more than a half century. She
sits at the home of DR.. and Mrs. H.
w. McComas, where she has resided
for many years, and reads all the
latest novels with great enjoyment
and converses about them and news
events of the day along with the
best in the house.
She was in fairly good health prior
to her accident and always ate three
hearty meals each day. She has
taken care of three generations, Mrs.
H. w. McComas, Mrs. McComas'
daughters and sons, and her chill
dren's children. Three presidents of
the United States have been seen by
this aged woman, which does not
seem so much out of the way until
they are named: Abraham Lincoln,
Grover Cleveland and Benjamin Har-
rison.

WILL HOLD HEARING in
PROPOSED POWERPROJECT
West Virginia P. S. C. Soon To
Consider Blackwater and Cheat
River Engineering Plans

A hearing is to be held before the
West Virginia Public Service Com
mission shortly in connection with the
proposition OF the West Penn Public
Service Company to harness the
Blackwater river near Davis, W. Va,
along the Western Maryland Rail-
way, 20 miles south of Oakland, with
a series of dams. 1t is expected work
will start on this power project in the
spring.
At least three dams are to be built
in the vicinity of Davis. The first
will be seventy-eight feet high and
will be two miles above Davis, at the
mouth of Yellow creek. This dam will
back the water for about two miles
through the only opening in Browns
Mountain, in Canaan Valley, where a
lake several miles square will be
formed in the heart of the Canaan
basin, extending north up Little Black
and south around the Coffman farm.
Part of the Bowman and Carwell
places will be under water.
Location of Second Dam
The second dam will be mile and
a quarter below Davis and just above
the Blackwater Falls. This dam will
back water up to near Front street,
Davis, and will cover the site of the
depot and the old lumber mill of the
Babcock Lumber company, including
the site of the planning mill and the
Western Maryland Railway engine
house.
This dam will be built as soon as
the first has been completed. The
plan, it is understood, is to cut tun-
mel or canal across the mountain to
North Branch, near Douglas, on the
Western Maryland Railway, through
which the water will be taken. The
flow of water will be so arranged, it
is said, that the picturesque falls, the
mecca for thousands of visitors every
year, will not be destroyed.
To Be Built In Canyon
The third dam will be built in the
Blackwater canyon, about quarter
of a mile below the mouth of North
river, which is the stream that comes
down from Thomas. This dam will be
ninety eight feet high.
Other dams to be built later, ac-
cording to the announced plan, in
clude one las feet high across Cheat
river, about two and three-quarter
miles below st. George, that will back
the water up to within few miles of
Parsons and also along the line of
the Western Maryland.
Three other dams are proposed
one ITO feet high, across Cheat river,
one mile below Rowlesburg; and go
feet high, across Cheat river, one and
three-fourth miles above Albright, in
Preston county, and one 1O6 feet high,
across Cheat river near Beaver Hole,
half a mile below the Monongalia and
Preston county lines.
Two others are proposed lower
down on Cheat river and two on Big
Sandy creek, in the same section, with
others on Shavers Fork, Gladys Fork,
Dry Fork, Laurel Fork, and possibly
Otter Fork.
This power system will link up with
that of the West Penn in Pennsyl-
vania.
