HOG CHOLERA OUTBREAKS
THOUGHT TO Be CHECKED
Two Discovered Tuesday on
Premises of r. Glass, Oakland,
and B. w. Harvey, Mt. Lake
FIRST OUTBREAK IN YEAR

Two outbreaks of hog cholera in
Garrett county, discovered on the
premises of Robert M. Glass, near
Oakland; and B. w. Harvey, Mt. Lake
Park, Tuesday morning, are already
thought to have been checked by the
prompt action of Mr.. Harvey in mott
flying John H. Carter, county agent,
who in turn summoned DR.. o. X. Hoff-
man, federal veterinarian, of Hagers-
town.
The disease originated on the Glass
premises due to unsterilized garbage,
and was carried to the Harvey pen
through. the purchase of two hogs
from Glass on July %. At the first
sign of his animals being sick, Mr..
Harvey notified Mr.. Carter and few
hours later DR.. Hoffman was in Oak
land. At a demonstration Tuesday
evening several parties in the vicinity
of the Harvey outbreak had their
hogs protected with anti-hog cholera
serum. The sick animals at both
places are to be killed and buried.
This is the first outbreak of hog
cholera within a year, and is seldom
discovered here, never more than one
appearing in a years time, but all
outbreaks that have been experienced
have been the result of garbage feed
ing, DR.. Hoffman stated.
DR.. Hoffman expects to return in
two weeks to make another inspection
of the two premises, and at that time
will probably show moving pictures
and lecture on the effects and causes
of the disease.
Investigations by State authorities
have shown that SO percent of all hog
cholera is due to garbage feeding, and
practically all the rest is due to new
stock. Feeding butchers offal, swill,
slop, containing bones, rinds, scraps
of uncooked pork, or water that it has
been washed in, is dangerous, DR..
Hoffman stated, and all growers OF
hogs are urged to take no chances.

PLANE DAMAGED AS PILOT
Is FORCED TO LAND HERE
More Seriously Damaged in At
tempting to Take Off After
Making Repairs to Craft
NOW BEING DIsMANTLED

Edwin Kenneth Reese, commercial
airplane pilot, of Dayton, Ohio, mar
rowly escaped serious injury and pos
sible death Monday evening about $3.50
when in making a forced landing in
field just south of town his plane
turned over.
The machine was a Curtiss Robin
type, 1876 horse power, blue Cabin
monoplane and has a capacity for
three passengers. There was no one
with the pilot at the time of the acct
dent.
Mr.. Reese was enroute from Dayton
to Baltimore. To avoid a storm he
had to gain considerable altitude
which consumed his gasoline supply
sooner than he had anticipated.
AS he circled over Oakland in an
attempt to find a landing field his
gasoline supply became exhausted and
he made a hasty descent to the field
on the outskirts of town.
In landing he drew the brakes too
quickly which threw the machine COM
pletely over. The propeller was badly
bent and one wing and the tail spread
were torn. A new propeller was or
dered and repairs made on Tuesday.
The safety glass in the cabin did not
shatter which probably saved the pilot
from serious injury by flying glass.
The plane was damaged to greater
extent Tuesday evening when after
making the necessary repairs and at
tempting to take off the pilot SKINNED
a fence and wrecked, this time DAM
aging the propeller, the fusilage, the
landing gear and the wings.
The pilot was not hurt, except for a
scratch on his elbow. He estimated
that the plance could be repaired for
approximately $500. The repairs
earlier in the day cost in the neigh
borhood of $50. The plane is being
dismantled and will be shipped to Bal
timore for repairs.
Mr.. Reese stated he had been pilot
for about ten years and this was the
first time he had had an accident. The
plane had been in his possession for
about a year and half.

COUNCIL NOT TO ACT TO
END ALL-NIGHT PARKING
Committee Makes Request at
Monthly Session. Asks for Bids

A request of a committee for the
Mayor and Town Council of Oakland
to pass an ordinance prohibiting the
parking of cars along the streets
after certain hours, was voted down
by the members of the council at the
regular monthly meeting on Monday
evening.
1t was stated that this ordinance
would be an inconvenience to tourists
and visitors, who might decide not
to return here again, and that it was
unnecessary.
To Ask for Bids
Bids are being asked for the con-
struction of a concrete or brick walk
on Third street from Alder to the
City hall, to conform to the remainder
of the walk. Bids are to be received
until August Is, when special meet
ing of the council has been called.
Bids will also be asked soon for
the removal of the stable and shed on
the Waingold property on Liberty
street. This property recently came
into the possession of the town, as
the time limit for redemption of the
lot which was sold at tax sale had
expired.
The question of .amiesiting Fourth
street between Oak and Alder streets
was discussed as some length, but the
proposition was tabled until August
Is. 1t was pointed out that it would
take approximately $1,000 to pur-
chase the -amiesite, and the other
costs of grading, labor and other ma
terial used would make the total cost
almost prohibitive at this time.
The council decided to continue
with the 250-Watt street lamp on the
corner of Second and Alder streets,
for another month to determine
whether or not the people desire all
the 4OO-Watt lamps reduced to that
size.
The monthly bills amounting to
$40 were ordered paid.

clans to join them in giving from their
boat the music appropriate to the
decorations. 1t is hoped that one of
the largest boats may be filled with
players of Hawaiian guitars.
Choirs and choruses of the Allie
gheny Festival are invited to parti-
cipate and send in their numbers as
early as possible to Miss Sara B.
Huff, music director, Mt. Lake Park.

REPORTS GOOD YEAR
Federal Barge Service Has Net

Statement Shows.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The star
NEW YORK, February 9.-While
transportation agencies were complain
ing of hard times in 1881. the Inland
Waterways Corporation. operating Fed
eral barge service on the inland rivers
of America, earned profits in excess OF
$3.50. 900, according to an interview by
Mai. Gen. T. @. Ashburn. chairman OF
the board of the corporation, with the
St. Louis News Service.
Not only was a profit earned but the
revenue PER ton mile from barge opera
ton in 1881 was about two-tenthS mill
higher than in 1880, the reverse of the
experience of other forms of transpor-
tation, revenues CT which slumped
sharply, said Gen. Ashburn, while in
st. Louis recently.
The only reason to account for the
showing" he said. lis that in 1881 we
moved a greater quantity of merchan-
disc which, under normal circumstances
we would not have moved. Our freight
volume was about the same as in 1890.
But in 1881 we moved great deal of
s-than-carload lot freight, which We
do not ordinarily move, but which came
to us because shippers were more in
terested in the economy of our service
| than in speed
This freight takes higher rate than
the bulky freight which ordinarily
makes up our principal tonnage. Ship
ping of wheat, cotton and other bulky
freight fell off as compared with 1880,
due to the low prices in staple farm
crops, which caused them to be held off
the market.
"a heavy percentage of these crops
still remains on the farms, the ware
houses and elevators, and we will un-
doubtedly share in moving them during
the current year.
"I think the movement has already
started and is reflected in our January
tonnage. This is one of the factors
which make the outlook bright for the
barge line this year We started off
| with a bang this month and look for an
exceptionally good year. We anticipate
better showing this year on the upper
river"
Gen. Ashburn will make a trial trip
| with towboat and barges up the new
6-foot channel of the Missouri River
| between st. Louis and Kansas City next
Summer to determine if it is navigable
at all points during low water stage.
Operation of this stretch now awaits
securing of the channel by high water
stages and this Spring and the coming
| Fall and Winter.
