Forest and Grass Fires In State
Do $4,000 Damage In 1886

Forest and grass fires destroyed
nearly $4,000 worth Of trees and veg
citation in Maryland in 1886, the heav-
lest damage the State has suffered
from these fires since 1880, according
to w. j. Quick, assistant State Fores-
ter. There were 1880 fires, which
burned over 19,7O4,475 acres.
More than 1000 of the fires burned
lass than 10 acres. Many of the fires
occurred during the extremely dry
spell in the early summer.
Carelessly discarded lighted ciga-
rettes, matches and cigars were listed
as the principal cause of fires last
year. Smoking was blamed for sos
blazes. Brush burning followed with
1877; railroad operations with 1877, and
incendiarism with 1876. Others were
listed as follows: lightning, 3; camp
ers, So; numbering, IL; miscellaneous,

Dixie" 81 Years Old, Passes

There is a vacancy on the farm of
James D. Harvey, of the Ryan's Glade
community, as related to The Republi-
can Monday afternoon by Mr.. Har-
vey's daughter, Miss Arta Harvey,
who had a hard time in retaining her
composme as she told the following
facts touching upon the long and faith
full service of Dixie" brood mare, 81
years old, whose passing occurred on
April Is, at the farm.
Dixie" had worked every day since
she was broken to the farm life Of a
horse. She was born and reared on the
Harvey farm and had seldom been
outside its enclosures, doing every
kind of work usually done on a farm
up to within week of her passing
Her team mate was "Foxie," aged %
a gelding, the son of "Dixie," who in
many ways let it be known that he
was lonesome following the death of
his mother. Dixie" is believed to
have been the oldest horse in the
county, if not in the State, to be able to
work within few days of her death,
which is regretted not only by men,
bers of Mr.. Harvey's immediate fam
lily, but by a number of neighbors in
the community.

THIS COUNTY WON'T GET
BENEFIT OF STATE BONDS
Issue For improvements Skip
Other Counties But All Help
Finance Them

The Commission on Governmental
Efficiency and Economy reported Tues
day from Baltimore that nine of the
twenty-three Maryland counties would
get all of the public improvements to
be financed by the new State bond is
sue.
The Commission pointed out that
the cost of the issue would be borne
by the entire State.
Its report estimates the total
amount of the bonds issued at $10,-
$4,000, including 81 100000 for new
State office building at Annapolis, and
the cost of repaying the bonds, both
principal and interest, at $12,935, sos.
The Commission has recommended
that new taxes be levied to cover cur
rent expenses and that the legisla-
lures special session amend the bond
ing act to provide an issue of only
$4,550,000 to be spent in permanent
Improvements.
In its tabulation of the amounts to
be repaid and how much of the issue
is to be spent in each county, the Com
mission estimated Baltimore City
would repay S7,537,133 but in its area
only s773,867 would be spent; that
Baltimore county would repay $1,034,-
I'll and $295,OOO would be spent in its
territory.
It's tabulation includes large sums
to be spent in Washington ($1,3OO, OOO)
and Anne Arundel ($1,575,OOO) coun-
ties. 1t estimates amounts to be re-
paid by Washington as $4O6,175, and
for Anne Arundel $294,O25.
Garrett county will repay S1O0,898,
and Allegany will repay SAT-, 1863.
Neither county will benefit by the is
sue.

NO HONOR IN HIGHEST

In athletic games, one who sur
passes another is considered cham
pion. There are champions who give
better performances than others in
business and in all professions. Gar
rett county. while perhaps not the
best, is almost champion when it
comes to raising potatoes, producing
maple syrup and in the growing Ct
other crops.
But there are times when being the
highest is not the best. Garrett coun-
ty has juest been placed at the top of
the list in the amount of money spent
per capita for public relief assistance
during the last fiscal year. There is no
honor in that distinction.
Garrett county received $157, 223.03,
or $3.50 per capita from relief sources
last year. The county also had the
highest per centage of its population
receiving assistance-S.5 per cent.
That per centage represents approx
IHdlGIy 1JIOU pCpp4c Ol ISl4G1 III llIlS
county.
Primarily an agricultural county, it
is almost unbelievable that there are
so many here who are not able to live
without assistance.
Rather let US believe that they are
able to live without assistance, but do
not do so because they know that
money to keep them will be handed out
to them from week to week.
Just few days ago woman on
relief was heard upbraiding the well
fare organization because it was day
late with her check. "The very ideal"
she exclaimed.
When will people like this ever be
able to regain their self-respect?

Fear Second Staying


The hunted man seems to be feared
by residents of the community and
every precaution was taken by the
citizenry and officers to avoid second
Staying, which they believed Friend
was intent on committing.
Besides Friends parents and rela-
tives who had moved out of their
homes to avoid him, neighbors whose
lives had also been threatened by
Friend had doubled up" and kept
sharp lookout for his appearance.
Chauncey Friend, school teacher at
the Asher Glade school, had secured a
substitute and he and several others
were reported as withdrawing their
children temporarily from school,
fearing Friend would appear at the
school to carry out his threat to kill
him.
Some farmers in that section went
to their fields fearful that they or
members Of their families at home
would be attacked. Monday after hear
ing some rifle reports in the woods,
one farmer who was engaged in plow-
ing left the field, stabbed the horses
and withdrew into his home.
Residents Sought Protection
A delegation of residents of Bloom
ing Rose community appeared before
States Attorney Fraley Tuesday
morning and urgently requested adj
ditional protection from threatened
danger by reason of Friend being at
larSe. Four additional deputies were
employed and sent to the community.
every farmer wants an officer at
his side and at his front door at all
times, fully armed, and you can't
blame them," Mr.. Fraley said. "Clyde
Friend has the people terrorized."
Inquest Today
States Attorney Fraley stated this
morning that an inquest would be held
at Friendsville this afternoon for the
purpose of completing the records in
the case and lodging formal charges
against Friend. The funeral of Mr..
Hook was conducted yesterday from
his late home.
