a third of the membership, and will
be an important bargaining agent
when the real work of passing bills
begins.

FIREMEN ARE KEPT BUSY
ANSWERING FIVE ALARMS
T. E. Shaffer Store at Mt. Storm,
w. Va, Is Entirely Destroyed

The Oakland Fire Department
answered five alarms within the past
week, three of them being within six
teen hours last Friday and Saturday.
No damage resulted from any of the
fue fires Friday and Saturday at the
homes of John Michael, Mt. Lake Park
road; David K. Glaze, South Oakland,
and at the Gift Shop, Third street.
Another call coming yesterday after
noon from the F. A. Smouse store re-
suited in no damage, except broken
axe handle of the Fire Department.
The cause of the alarm at the Smouse
store was said to be from a short cir
cult in the wiring between the floors.
The large store of T. E. Shaffer, at
Mt. Storm, w. Va, about twenty-five
miles from Oakland, on route so, was
entirely destroyed by fire last Satur-
day evening. A call came to the Oak
land department about 10 o'clock and
although the truck was not taken
members of the local company left at
once. Companies and trucks from
Petersburg and Keyser, w. Va, were
at the scene when the local members
arrived.
The fire, which was thought to have
originated in defective flue, had been
burning about two hours when the
local fremen got there. Because of
lack of water the blaze slowly got out
of control. At about o'clock the fire
companies backed away from the
building and gave up the fight and
concentrated on the houses nearby
which were saved.
Mr.. Shaffer estimates his loss at
about $4,000, with insurance of
about $500. The store was said to
have been substantially built and the
owner carried quite a complete stock
of goods.
In regard to local fires, Emroy
Bolden, fire chief, stated, eff the per-
son first seeing the fue fire will get in
touch with the local fire company at
once, we will stand a much better
chance of preventing real confagra-
ton" The Oakland department has
acknowledged a donation of $1,000
from Miss Beulah Loughridge, of the
Gift Shop.
The local company has answered ten
calls since December 1.

has not been much below the 20 degree

Just enough snow has fallen to keep
the landscape white.
Last Fridays storm was the first OF
the new year and although FRIDAY
the thirteenth" it didn't seem to bring
bad luck. There were no serious
accidents and highways remained
open for traffic.
The storm, coming from the east,
brought about five inches of snow
while in Cumberland and to the east OF
Cumberland there were nine to twelve
inches. Shifting winds brought an
other storm and about two inches more
snow from the west on Saturday, with
more being added on Monday and
Wednesday. Sunday and Tuesday
there was clear and thawing weather.
The weather has been ideal for
skating, skiing and sled riding for the
young people and others who are
young in ideas, if not so young in
years. A crust forming Friday on
the snow gave a good foundation for
skiing and many took advantage OF
the opportunity over the weekend.
Snow continues to fall today, with
about two inches added since last
night. Officially, taking the figures
of the government station at Weber's,
four inches fell Friday, 1 inch Satur-

Yesterday, making a total of inches.
No measurement was made for today,
