Remind the Highway
Commission Now

New from Richmond indicates
t h t approximately $50, 100000
will be available for maintenance
and construction work on Virginia
highways during the next bien-
MUM. How much Of this money
will Dickinson receive? Have we
secured our pro-rata share in the
past few years? Why was not the
Fremont road constructed before
now? These questions can all be
answered as they have been an
swered generally in the past. 1t
depends on how much fight the
citizens of the county put up be-
fore the commission when it makes
it's next ALLEGATIONS.
Some time ago news leaked out
that the convict force which was
constructing the road between
Pound and Wise would be located
in Dickinson for the Fremont con-
struction job as soon as the road
was completed in Wise. Later the
commissioner announced that the
citizens of Scott County had ap-
peared in large numbers before
the commission and asked for the
transfer of the camp to Gate City
for a road construction project,
and since Dickinson County took
nap and had no Representative
before the commission, the camp
was moved to Scott County with
the promise that it would be
moved to Dickinson County and
work on the Fremont road would
begin in 1910.
Should not the citizens of Dick
enson County band together and
begin to remind the highway COM
mission of it's promise in the most
forcible manner possible? Should
not q delegation of citizens appear
in Richmond in the very near flu
ture for this purpose and speak
in no uncertain terms of the need
of reconstructing this much need
ed highway in Dickinson? The
Herald stands ready to aid in the
cause.

Dinners Always Ready,
Thanks to Pigeon Post

ductor, has found a way out.
Now every day he takes a pigeon
to work with him, and shortly be.
fore leaving at night he writes a
note to his wife, saying when he
expects to reach the house.

BIG STATE FOREST is GIVEN
MARYLAND BY UNCLE SAM
$4,000 Acres are Located in Gar
rett County Adjoining Savage
River State Forest

Marylanders had two new play
grounds of nearly 10000 acres today
in opposite ends of the state. The
larger playground by far is in Garrett
county.
The state forestry department took
over $4,000 acres of land from the
federal government under a 99-yeal
lease which stipulates the state shall
administer the land and take all the
receipts from it.
Of the total, $4,000 acres are in the
Western Maryland mountains, adjoin'
ing the Savage River state fores.
The other 5000 acres are in the tide
water area of the Eastern Shore
near the Pocomoke state forest.
Patrols Only Extra Cost
Assistant Forester Karl W. Pfeiffer
said the only extra cost to the state
probably would be extra patrols. He
said present supervisors of the two
forests could care for the new acreage
submarginal land bought for the fed
eral government to get it out of
cultivation.
The state would receive the income
from sale of timber and from permits
for camping in the area, he added
The forestry department hopes, he
said, that the income will be greater
than the extra expense.
The areas were purchased by the
federal government during the past
four years under the nationwide land
utilization program. The purchased
lands have been developed for forest
ry, wildlife conservation, and recrea-
ton.
The state department of forestry
will continue the forestry program in
volving demonstration of open, for
merly cultivated tracts, fire protection
and management of the areas in ac-
cordance with sound forestry princl-
pies. The wildlife program, including
the planting of shrubs and other type
of vegetation that furnish food anc
cover for birds and animals, will also
be carried forward by the state
Recreational facilities will be main
tanned for the public.
