Suburban Sanitary
Commission To Get
New Water Supply
Builds New Pumping Sta
ton At Mink Hollow -
Water To Be Piped Mile
And A Half

By August 1, the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission will
have supplemented it's water supply
at Burnt Mill by more than
100000 gallons a day. With the
Mink Hollow project, east of Ashton,
well under way, the Commission is
virtually assured of the additional
water supply before the summer is
over.
Thirty inch force mains are being
laid from four to six feet under
ground, crossing the properties of
Albert Drake, Mary and Eleanor
Miller, Kathryn Zepp, Maurice Stab
Ter, Elizabeth Stabler, Everett San
ders and William A. Bond. These
properties constitute divide be
tween the North West branch water
shed and the Patuxent River water
shed.
While only one Of the two 240
H. p. gasoline engines installed will
be used at the present time to pump
the water, both eventually will be
used, thus increasing the supply to
100000 gallons a day. These
pumps will operate against head
of 100 feet or about 05 pounds pres
sure per square inch. The Com
mission is using it's own funds Il
finance the project, which will help
supply water to the 22,300 water
connections in the 1O6 square miles
serviced by them.
The water will be pumped from
the Patuxent River at distance
of about $500 feet and will empty
into water course leading directly
to the pumping station and filtration
plant at Burnt Mills.

Veirs Mill Road Will
Be Doomed AS Short
Route To Washington

Efforts of the Rockville Chamber
of Commerce to have the Veirs Mill
road widened from Rockville to
Wheaton are being strongly supported
by number of business men in Silver
Spring.
The Veirs Mill road is visioned in
the Silver Spring area as an excellent
route to link Washington with west
ern Maryland and western United
States by way of Silver Spring
Heretofore the western traffic through
Rockville mas entered and left Wash
ington by way of Bethesda.
1t is understood that Rockville off
Gals will be contacted in the near fu-
ture by Silver Spring business men
with view to erecting signs in Rock.
vile pointing out the Veirs Mill road
as alternate route to the center Of
Washington which is two miles short
er than the Bethesda route.
What the reaction will be in Rock
vile has not yet been determined. II
has been learned, however, that g
number of members of the Chamber
of Commerce are inclined to believe
that there would be no harm in allow
ing the erection of Silver Spring signs
if similar privileges are given tc
Bethesda.
Rockville cannot lose in either case
since the traffic must pass through the
county seat, and motorists can Their
take their choice Of either the Silver
Spring or Bethesda routes as they
leave Rockville heading east.
The Rockville pike route into Beth
esda is we'll known to tourists and ap-
pears on virtually every road map in
the country, while the Veirs Mill road
being new, is not very well known by
out of town travellers.

Md. State Bonds
Bring Highest Price
Ever Recorded Here
Bankers Bids For Issue
Testify To Confidence In
State Financial Condition

AS an indication of the high
regard in which Maryland's financial
future is held by the financial inter
ests of the country, the bids for the
new issue of $1,8OO,OOO.OO Maryland
State Bonds, opened this week by
the Board of Public Works, were
the best ever received for any pre-
vious issue on record.
The highest bid of some twelve
received was from a New York
syndicate whose price of slightly
above par for bonds to yield IN
per cent means that it will cost the
State of Maryland only 124 per
cent interest per annum, a figure
which bears irrefutable testimony to
the country's confidence in Governor
OConor's financial administration.
Governor O'Conor was delighted
with the bids, and immediately after
the award, issued the following
statement:
"It is most gratifying to note the
exceptionally high price at which
Maryland State bonds were sold to-
day. The price is the highest at
which Maryland bonds have been
sold in the history of the State.
This is positive proof that those
who are in the best position to know
consider the States fiscal affairs in
splendid condition"

eral Smith w. Purdum climaxed
weeks of intensive planning by dedi-
eating the new $4,000 postoffice
building in Rockville, Saturday. The
program got under way promptly at
2:30 with one of the most colorful
parades ever witnessed in Rockville.
Marshalled by Captain Ward w. Cad
ihgton of Silver Spring, the -spectacu-
lar parade passed in review with
clock work precision.
In introducing Judge Stedman
Prescott, the master of ceremonies,
DR.. George L. Edmonds, general
chairman of the dedication committee
paid high tribute to the builders Of
Montgomery county. Those praised by
DR.. Edmonds included the late Robert
g. Hilton, former State Senator and
president of the Farmers Banking &
Trust Company; Spencer c. Jones,
former president and builder of the
Montgomery County National Bank
and the Honorable E. Brooke Lee. DIR.
Edmonds also expressed his deep ap-
probation in praise of the various
heads of the many committees whose
outstanding work made the dedication
possible.
In his preliminary remarks, Judge
Prescott, as master of ceremonies,
delved into the history of Montgom-
cry county, Judge Prescott reminisced
that in 1875, during the celebration
of the Tooth anniyersary Of Montgom-
cry county, the late Thomas Anderson
was historian of the occasion and
competently presented record of the
county's growth from the time of it's
formation up until that period. Mr..
Anderson was the uncle of Judge
Thomas M. Anderson, who now re-
sides within block of the new Post
Office Building.
In his formal address of the after
noon, General Purdum paid special
tribute to Senator Robert Peter, Post
master Edmonds and Mayor Bland
ford for their fine work in making
plans and preparations for the occas-
ion. General Purdum was high in his
praise of everyone connected with the
affair. Displaying philosophy that
is indicative of his own life, Purdum
said, "My friends, we do not build a
building in a day, it takes time, the
stone masons and the brick layers lay
one stone and one brick at time,
carefully and accurately, true to the
plumb line. Likewise, life is compar-
able to a building. 1t takes a long
time to fully complete the human be-
ing structure and in that building let
us build wisely to the end that our
men and women will be of sterling
integrity and high character" Fur
Their on in his address, General Pur-
dunn continued, cit is proper to recall
that on a part of the land there stood
for a great many years structure
which housed the activities Of that
splendid paper known practically to
everyone in this county for many
years and it's coming to my residence
every Friday is welcomed by me with
sincere appreciation - The Montgom-
cry County Sentinel"
Mr.. Purdum further stated that
this structure was elected as part
of the building program carried on
by the National Administration and
that Article in Section of the Con-
stitution of the United States pro-
vided among other things that "the
Congress shall have the power to es-
tablish post Offices and post roads.
Mr.. Purdum contended that the post
Office department is one Of the strong

Not Promising For

Boomers Ferry Hereby

The war in Europe, bringing with
it a constant threat to the United
States of being drawn into the vor-
tex may seem far-fetched as rea-
son for delaying Improvements to
Highway No. through Boundary
county, but this is apparently the
case, according to word brought
back from Boise by County Com
missioner Ray Sims and Deputy
County Auditor H. M Machamara
The local county officials made
a trip to Boise last week to attend
a meeting of state and federal
highway officials who were gath
cred to allocate the 1910 road money
in Idaho. The highway officials
said they knew. all about the bad
condition of Highway No. 2 east of
Bonners Ferry and wanted to allo-
cate funds for new construction next
year.
It developed, however, that the
federal ALLEGATION of B. P R. money
to Idaho amounted to only about
S279,000 and the bulk of this was
to be diverted to Highway No. 10,
sometimes called the Sunset High
way, as this~route has been desig-
mated as military highway.

Spuds for Sunny Southland

lhis IS story OF Aspuds that 60 south for the
winter.
Not SO many years ago, potatoes grown in north
ern Minnesota and North Dakota didn't travel very
far. Some got as far south as Chicago, only TO end
their careers in pots and frying pans. Others went
to potato planters in nearby states, because they
were found to be exceptionally good for seed.
But these limited and highly competitive markets
made for thin profits to the growers. The prospects
for potato growing on large scale were not very
bright.
About this time few progressive southern plant
ers became interested in theJpotatoes grown in
northern Minnesota and North Dakota Test plant
ings demonstrated that these northern potatoes,
planted in the sunny south, produced a fine early
potato for table in the spring and early summer
The agricultural Development Agentsof the Great
Northern Railway among the first to recognize
the possibilities of producing seed potatoes for
southern planters.
They found several growers who were willing to
make speciality of the production of seed potatoes
and their seed crops matured the Great North
ems agents toured Alabama, Louisiana, Texas and
Florida, finding markets for them.
The next step in the development of this new
market was to protect the newly gained reputation
for the northern seed potatoes. Certhcation of
quality by responsible state authorities was seen to
be necessary in order to protect both the northern
grower and the southern planter. In advancing this
program, the railways agents worked closely with
the state agricultural departments and colleges.
Similar possibilities for the production of seed
potatoes were uncovered in Montana and the Pacific
Northwest
The Great Northern RoilWay oIlDoys has
recognized that the problem of finding and
maintaining profitable markets for Northwest
