Large Motor Boat Now in Com
mission on Deep Creek Lake

"Miss Chevrolet of Johnstown," the
largest motor boat ever on Deep Creek
Lake, is in commission and will take
on board passengers beginning Satur-
day evening, June IS.
The boat is forty-two feet long and
eight feet wide and is in charge of
Roy Murty, of Johnstown. The own
ers are employees of the Chevrolet
sales and service agency at Johns
town who brought the boat to the lake
by truck several weeks ago and
launched it near the Pittsburgh Boy
Scouts camp at McHenry.
The Thayerville bus pupils of the
Oakland school had the privilege of
taking a sail on the vessel Tuesday
evening when they were having pic
mic at the lake.

the old buildings now here are in bad
repair.
Each year property depreciates.
Only last week a twelve-room house,
centrally located, sold for less than
one-quarter of the cost to build.
There is reason for all this: it is
because it is not managed as a mu-
nicipality and the people have no con-
fidence, therefore do not work in har-
mony.
Nature has done wonders for the
Park. A beautiful grove, pure air
and water, cool days in summer and
the State has built excellent roads,
but in spite of all these advantages
the outside public will not be induced
to come here and make investments.
l feel, therefore, that if these petty
differences could be done away with
that harmony would exist and that all
would work as a unit in building the
place up and boosting it as it justly
deserves.
have wondered what damage could
be done the Association or the For
eign and Home Mission Board if this
place is Incorporated, and I fail to
find any reason why they can't con-
tinue along all the lines of business
they are now engaged in such as run
ming hotels, ice plant, farm, refresh
ment stand, bathing beach, boats, etc.
I understand the claim is made that
all these enterprises are run at loss.
If this be true, then all the more reas-
on why the place should be incorpor-
ated.
If we all pull together, maybe we
can build up the Park and bring many
more people here during the summer
months and help all the hotels and
boarding houses.
AS a letter published in the county
paper recently stated, there is not
enough true Christian spirit shown.
Let's ask for Divine guidance and
lay aside all animosity and i'll feeling,
selfshness and propaganda and ex-
tend the rights that those who live
here are entitled to, because as long
as the one-tenth interest of property
in the Park controls and manages, so
long will this bitterness exist.

SELL BEFORE HARVEST

For the past three months the Allie
gheny Tableland Association has been
making a study of the great Pitts
burgh market for farm produce. This
survey has been conducted with the
approval and at the suggestion of DR..
Thomas B. Symons and Nat T. Frame,
Directors of the Agricultural Exten-
sion Services of Maryland and West
Virginia, respectively. The informa-
ton obtained is being passed on to the
county agricultural agents, and inter-
ested farmers can use that valuable
contact for additional facts or get in
touch with the Secretary of the Allie
gheny Tableland Association, Noun
tain Lake Park, Nd.
Even with the over-production ex-
pected under normal crop conditions
with the resultant drop in prices,
there is much for lakeland farmers
to be encouraged about. Certain COM
modities of prime Importance in the
mountain region indicate strength for
summer and fall markets in Pitts.
burgh. This is important and farmers
should know it. But good or poor
markets do not appear to be so es-
sential, normally, as other factors,
and of these the most important fac
tor seems to be ability to plan ahead.
The. time to sell is before the har-
vest. @".. ..
The time to sell maple syrup, trees
and native plants is December and
January, not March and April. The
time to sell late potatoes, late cab
bage and caulifower is May and June
and not September and October. By
this is meant plans, ways, means and
connections should be made in adj
vance. To do this is impossible for av-
erage farmers, because of lack of time
and opportunity to get away from
their farms.
The Allegheny Tableland Associa-
ton does not propose to become a
selling agency for producers but it
can be of great assistance by putting
producers and buyers in contact with
each other, even to the extent Of
bringing buyers from Pittsburgh into
the tableland area and taking produc-
ers to the Pittsburgh market for OBJ
servation, introduction and study.
Buyers in Pittsburgh want table,
land products, so it appears to be a
matter of just getting acquainted.
Truck loads, car loads or smaller
units of good products can be sold in
Pittsburgh with ease and convenience
if the proper connections are made.
The Allegheny Tableland Association
can show how it can be done.

To the Editor of The Republican.
Several years ago became the pur-
chaser of three properties in the Park.
At the time l little realized the feel

against the Association.
have endeavored to find out why
all parties can't work in harmony and
for the good of the place.
On the part of citizens, discovered
that they felt they had a right of
franchise, even though they were not
property owners, since they had this
privilege in all State and county cleo
tions. Then on the part of citizens
and many property owners / learned
that they felt they had a right to
elect officers to manage the town in
which they live and that the Associ-
alton, which owns only one-tenth of
the Park property, had no right to
manage affairs for them. I discov-
cred that the Association did this by
naming three out of five annual COM
mitteemen.
To see outsiders come to the Park
and dictate tax rates and town man
agement, went against the grain.
In talking with friends about buy
ing or building summer homes here,
they all seemed to have the same OBJ
jection-the method of government.
The depreciation in values of real es-
tate in the Park they attribute largely
to this method of government. There
is lack of confidence, and where this
exists real estate values can never be
what they should.
I was informed that the people in
the Park had been promised that if
they would contribute toward paying
off mortgage debt of $4,000, be-
fore the Foreign and Home Mission
Board would accept the Park as a
gift, that wonderful improvements
would be made which would bring
many thousands of visitors to the
place and greatly increase values.
Some eight or ten years have elapsed
since this mortgage was paid and the
Park taken over, but no improvements
of any kind have taken place; in fact

RAILWAY MERGER
PLANS COMPLETED
|. C. C. Considering Details
Reported for Consolidating
Four Trunk Systems.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January S.-The text
of an agreement proposing the con-
solidation Of all railroads in the East
excluding New England, into four trunk
systems was before the Interstate Com
merce Commission today.
Final details of the plan were adopted
yesterday at conference of the heads
of the New York Central, the PennSyl-
vania, the Baltimore & Ohio and the
Chesapeake & Ohio, about which the
smaller lines would be clustered.
Surprises Revealed.
Although the features of the proposal
already have been announced, the COM
plete draft revealed several unexpected
provisions. These were the ALLEGATION
of the Ann Arbor to the B. & o. and
of the Bessemer a. Lake Erie and the
Chicago & Eastern Illinois to the G.
s. o.
Joint control among the four main
roads was provided for the Lehigh q
New England, the Delaware g. Hudson,
the Monongahela, the Montour, the
Pittsburgh & West Virginia, and the
Pittsburgh, CHARTERS & Youghiogheny.
The New York Central would acquire
the Delaware, Lackawanna d western
and a direct connection with the Viz
ginian Railway at deep water, including
joint rates and routes over the road.
The Pennsylvania would acquire the
Wabash, the Detroit, Toledo g. Ironton
and the Norfolk & Western.
Baltimore & Ohio Acquisitions.
The Baltimore 81 Ohio would acquire
the Ann Arbor, the Reading g. Central
OF New Jersey, the Western Maryland,
the Buffalo, Rochester 81 Pittsburgh,
the Buffalo 81 Susquehanna, the Lehigh
g. Hudson River and the Chicago &
Alton.
The Chesapeake a. Ohio would &C.
quire the Hooking Valley the Erie, the
Bessemer g. Lake Erie, the Pere Mar
uuette, the Wheeling a. Lake Erie, the
Chicago g. Eastern Illinois and the
Lehigh Valley, with certain rights re-
served to the Pennsylvania on the Le-
high Valley.
In its report to the commission, the
conference pointed out that the plan
called for four systems instead of the
i've outlined by that body, but that the
agreement Is "interdependent and could
not have been reached upon any differ
emit basis of ALLEGATION"
