A Star in. the West

THERE'S a star in the west that
= shall never go down
Till the record of valor decay;
We must worship its light though
it is not our own,
For liberty burst in its ray.
Shall the name Of a Washington
ever be heard
By a freeman, and thrin not his
breast?
Is there one out of bondage that
halls not the word
As the Bethlehem Star of the
West?
0H, HIS laurels were pure! and
" his patriot name
In the page Of the future shall
dwell.
And be seen in all annals, the fore
most in fame,
By the side Of a Hofer and Tell.
The truthful and honest, the wise
and the good,
Among the Britons have nobly
confessed
That his was the glory, and ours
was the blood,
OF the deeply stained fields of
the West.

GARRETT Is YOUNGEST, HIGHEST, AND One OF THE
LARGEST MD. COUNTIES; YOUGH RIVER DRAINS COUNTY

Garrett county is among the three
largest counties in the State of
Maryland. 1t is also the youngest,
having been erected with the territory
taken from Allegany county in 1874.
The early settlers were mostly Ger
man, English and a few Irish, COM
ing mainly from Pennsylvania. The
present population is largely descend
ed from these original settlers.
Few Foreigners in County
Due to cold winters there are very
few Negroes in the county and very
few people of foreign birth. The pop
ulation is all classed as rural by the
census, there being no town with $500
or more inhabitants.
The mountain sections are sparsely
settled. The greater part of the pop
ulation is engaged in farming, min
ing and numbering.
Four Mountain Ranges Cut County
There are four prominent mountain
ridges in the county, all having a
northeast-southwest trend. The most
prominent is Backbone Mountain, and
it's continuation as Big Savage Noun
tain, the two being separated by the
gorge of Savage River. Meadow
Mountain runs west of Backbone
Mountain. Big Savage Mountain runs
about half the length Of the county
and has an elevation of $500 feet.
Between Meadow Mountain and Big
Savage Mountain there is a succession
of irregular shaped hills. Near the
southern end of Meadow Mountain
these hills are rather rough and rug
ged, being covered to some extent
with forest, but in the northern part
the hills are not as rough and there
good farm lands are found.
Winding Ridge, with its extention
of hills along the Youghiogheny River
forms the fourth principal elevation
in the county. This ridge is conspicu-
Gus because of it's relatively low ele-
walton and numerous breaks in which
it contrasts sharply with the other
mountains of the county.
Yough and Other Rivers Drain Co.
The county is drained by the
Youghiogheny River, a tributary OF
the Monongahela; the North Branch
of the Potomac, Savage and Castle
man rivers and their tributaries.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
which was built through Garrett coun.
ty about the middle of the 10Th cen.
tury, affords a good outlet east and
west. The transportation require.
ments of the northwestern section are
taken care of by the Confluence anC
Kendall branch Of the B. & o. r. r.
which follows the Youghiogleny River
south to a short distance below
Friendsville. The Preston Railroad
crosses the southwestern part of the
county and connects with the B. &
o. at Hutton. The Western Maryland
Railroad follows the North Branch Of
the Potomac River, furnishing trans.
portation for the part of the county
east of Backbone Mountain.
