Forest Fires In Cecil
County
Dry Summer In 1884 Causes Ii
crease Over Previous Year

crease Over Previous Year
Cecil county had more forest fires
than any other county in the Eastern
Shore district in 1894, with total
of 80, an increase of IS fires over
1888. Total fires in the State of
Maryland for 1894 amounted to 945,
of which the Eastern Shore district
had 145, or Is per cent. Due to a
dry summer, it was necessary to
open the Foys Hill forest lookout
tower for an additional period out
side of the regular spring and fall
fire seasons.
With the coming Of the spring
season of 1895, i. is hoped that add
tional detection and prevention work
will be accomplished by the erection
of a 100 foot fire tower at Wood
lawn. The construction of this
tower is now underway. The tent
alive plan for Cecil county is the
erection of this Woodlawn tower, an
other tower at Pleasant Hill, and the
moving of the Foys Hill tower to the
Elk Neck district, which tower when
moved will be raised an additional
40 feet, making it 100 foot tower.
With this set-up, fine triangula-
ton system covering the entire
county and improving the detection
system will be accomplished. This,
together with the addition of II new
Wardens located at strategic posi-
tions, should give the county an ade-
quate detection and protection sys-
tenn, which with normal weather con-
ditions during the fire seasons should
reduce the number of fires for the
coming year. Cooperation on the
part of the County Commissioners
and wardens for the past year was
very gratifying.
Summaries of the fires for 1894 in
Cecil county are as follows:
Smoking II, acreage 1896, dam
age $1334.50, cost $162.11; railroad
Is, acreage $40, damage 1857, cost
$94.65; incendiary Q, acreage 10.

acreage 2, damage So. Total num-
Der 80; acreage 1909; damage 81
248.5O; cost $27S.56.
Shore Fire Record
In District 8, which comprises the
Eastern Shore counties, the total
number of fires was 148, or 15 per
cent of the total forest fires occurring
in the State for 1894. The average
acreage burned for the year was IA
and one-half acres per fire, an in
crease of one-half acre over the fires
of 1898. Records of the other coun-
ties are as follows: Kent, 8 fires,
damage, $45.25; Queen Anne's,
fires, damage, $191.50; Talbot, 10
fires, damage, $177.5O; Caroline, 5

NEED FOR PRIVATE EMPLOY
MENT

AS most or the Public Works pro-
jects have been completed and out
door occupations are retarded the
need of private employment becomes
paramount. In response to our re-
quest many citizens employed per-
sons for REPAIRS and improvements
in their homes and number OF
these temporary placements turned
20 permanent jobs.
The files of the National Reem-
plcyment Service now show several
thousand qualified persons in great
variety of occupations and the CO.
operation of every citizen who can
give work, if only for few days is
needed, to provide employment for
the next two months.
Unlike private employment agen-
cies this service is absolutely free.
The N. R. S. Office, sponsored by the
United States Government, has a
most complete list of the unemployed
in Cecil County.
Calls are received daily from en-
ployers. These have been served
satisfactorily and others will be
served with the same degree OF
promptness and efficiency. Employ

RIRATreAL MssIe.lL cossEDY

Captain Van dc Hum" The pir-
atical musical COMEDY, III two ropes
length" to be given this Friday
night at 500 o'clock at the Rising
Sun High School Auditorium by the
West Nottingham Academy, seems,
from the report of ticket sales, to be
attracting considerable attention
throughout the county.
There is good reason for this keen
anticipation. Not only is this the
first time this production of Maude
Inch and Rhys-Herbert has appeared
in this county; but it is the first
time musical comedy has ever been
ATTEMPTED in this vicinity. AS many
as thirty trained voices together with
musical accompaniment will be
heard from time to time when the
witty dialogue and comic inaccur-
acies have ceased for brief moment.
The plot is woven around the two
principal characters, Dick Erne and
Captain Van der Hum. Dick is de-
tailed by the government to rid the
town of the rover pirate, Van der
Hum. The old pirate hears of the
plans, and assumes the manners and
dress of a woman who makes an
utter fool Of the government sailor,
Dick. The old sea dog is finally
captured, but released in order to
save his captor's embarrassment and
