Drilling of Diversion Tunnel For
Savage Dam To Start In Week

A force of WPA workmen from
Allegany county have been busy for
the past month cleaning away brush
and timber preparing for the erection
of the Savage river dam, near Bloom
ington, this county.
George w. Legge, chairman of the
Upper Potomac River Commission,
said that drilling for the diversion tun-
mel would start within the next week,
but unless there is an unusually mild
winter there will be little actual con-
struction before spring.
Owen E. Hitchins and George Warn
lex, the latter of Bloomington, and
Oakland, are also members of the COM
mission to develop the flood control
program. Cost of the dam, 1876 feet
high and 1900 feet long, is estimated
at $2,8O0,0OO, with $1,800,OO0 allot-
ted by the WPA. Some 500 work.
ers are to be employed for two years.
The dam is planned as a control OF
the dry-weather flow of the upper
Potomac river to give uniform water
supply year-round for industrial
plants, and as an important food-con-
troll measure.

MORE THAN $1,000 TO BE
PAID BY CHRISTMAS CLUBS
Approximately $50 DepOsitOrs to
Receive Checks December l

More than $11, 900 will be sent out
from the two Oakland banks on De-
cember l in Christmas Savings Club
checks. The money will be distributed
among approximately 250 depositors
Of the First National Bank and the
Garrett National Bank in Oakland.
Cashiers of the local banks stated
that this year had shown an increase
over the previous year when only
$500 had been distributed, and that
most of those who had started the
savings accounts had more nearly
completed what they had set out to do.
Practically all had paid up accounts.
Throughout the nation over $50 mil
lion dollars will be distributed to
more than seven million members of
the clubs. The total distribution for
1889 is about seven per cent in excess
of 1888 and the number of members
to receive the checks shows an in
crease also. The average distribution
per member amounts to $48.80, as
against $4700 for 1888.
1t is estimated that over 80 per
cent of the savings will go for Christ
mas purchases and the balance toward
permanent savings, yearand bills, in
surance premiums, taxes, education,
travel, charity and mortgage inter
est.
The Christmas Club Savings feature
was established fourteen years ago i'll
this county by the First National
Bank of Oakland. The following year
it was adopted by the Garrett Ma
tional Bank.
Christmas Clubs for next year will
be started as soon as old checks are
mailed out, the first payment being
due the first week in December. There
are clubs for as little as rs cents
week. There will be no interest paid OH
these deposits, but they offer a sys-
tematic and regular way of saving
money for a time when it is much
needed.

Teachers Paid for October

Checks for October salaries were
mailed to school teachers and others
connected with the school system on
Tuesday. The amount necessary was
raised by county order of $8,258.99,
given to the Board of Education by
the County Commissioners. This
amount, added to other funds already
on hand, was sufficient to pay current
bills.
The Commissioners stated that the
school board was due to get another
$4,000 from the county on January l.
The Commissioners also announced
that during the past week they had
ordered payment to the banks of Oak
land for interest on back county or
ders, which was authorized by the
1889 legislature. The First National
Bank received $2,455.37, while the
Garrett National Bank in Oakland re-
ceived $48794. This paid interest on
back orders up to date, it was stated.

DISTURBANCES ARE AIRED
IN MAGISTRATES COURT
Two Are Fined For Disturbance
In Warnick's Place Saturday

A disturbance at Bertha Warnick's
beer place and restaurant last Satur-
day night resulted in the arrest of
Mike Tasker and Foster Martin, the
latter of near Oakland,
At hearing before Magistrate C.
F. White they were each found guilty
of creating a disturbance and were
fined 81 and costs.
A hearing is to be given three per-
sons, Paul Harvey, Carl Harvey and
Clarence Paugh on Friday on charges
of being drunk and disorderly at Wot-
rings filling station at the junction OF
the Mountain Lake Park road and
Route 219, mile east of Oakland last
Saturday afternoon. 1t is alleged that
one of the three had broken a glass
in the door leading into the building.
All three men are out on bail.
Victor Harold Kelly, of near Hut
ton, on a charge of operating a motor
vehicle while under the influence Of in
toxicants, was fined $500 and costs
and in default of payment was sent
to the Garrett County Jail for thirty
days. Kelly was also convicted of reck-
less driving and sentenced to Jail for
one day in default of 81 fine and
costs. The car which Kelly was driving
collided with the automobile of George
Williamson, which was parked on Sec
ond street in front of the Owen Treacy
residence last Saturday night, causing
damage of 500 or more. Kelley was
given hearing before Magistrate
White on Monday.

less driving in Mountain Lake Park.

given a hearing on next Wednesday,
November 20, on a charge of main
tanning public nuisance in the town
of Jennings and injuriously affecting
the life and health of persons in the
community. The information upon
which Wiley was apprehended was fur
nished by DR.. H. R, DuPuy, County
Health Officer. Wiley, it is alleged,
maintains a hog pen near a general
store and that the drain from the sty
drains into the center of the street.
A number of witnesses were here on
Tuesday to testify in the matter, but
the trial, at the request Of Wiley, was
postponed until next week.

To Open Seventh Half Price
Store About January First

Mr.. F. H. Field, owner of the Half
Price Stores in Oakland and in five
West Virginia towns, announced this
week that he would open his seventh
store in Meyersdale, Pa, about jan
uary 1, 1910.
He has leased a building in Meyers
dale, located on Center street and in
the main business section of the town,
which is next to the Oakland store IN
comparison with the floor space.
1t was eight years ago, in Novem-
Der, 1881, when the first Half Price
Store was opened in Oakland. The
business here enlarged and expanded,
and in June, 1884, the stores first
branch was opened in Petersburg, W.
Va, followed by additional locations
at Parsons, Moorefield, Kingwood and
Franklin, West Va.

NATURAL GAS STRUCK AT
ACCIDENT LAST FRIDAY
Hole Now Down 3770 Feet; De-
velOpment Company Will Con-
tinue Drilling To 1000 Feet
FLOW 10000 FEET DAILY

Natural gas, in sufficient
quantity to supply the residents
of the town of Accident, was
struck at a depth of 3,770 feet
last Friday on the property Of
Harry HENDERSON, located on
what is locally known as Town
Hill, it was announced by VIM.
E. Snee, in charge of drilling OPP
erations there for the New Penn De-
velopment Company.
A test was made by Mr.. Snee on
Sunday evening which developed the
fact that the well was flowing 10000
cubic feet of gas daily. In areas where
gas is common, such an amount would
not be considered a highly productive
well, but in this county, where this is
the first strike of its kind, the result
is considered encouraging for those
in charge Of the operation.
Mr.. Snee stated that he would con-
tinue to drill to the depth originally
intended to reach a lower sand at ap-
proximately 1000 feet in the hope of
striking oil. The gas now produced at
the well will be harnessed and used for
firing the boiler operating the engine
at the derrick.
The first well at Accident was
drilled to a depth of 1886 feet in 1920,
when the tools were lost in the hole
and operations were suspended. Then,
not long ago, a number of tests were
again made at Accident and the tests
evidently appeared satisfactory as a
modern we'll drilling rig was set up
there where operations have been
continued for several weeks twenty
four hours each day.
The New Penn Development Com
pany has about every acre of ground
in the Accident community under OPP
ton for the mineral rights. The COM
pany has kept these options alive by
paving certain sums annually to the
land owners.
This first Indication that there is
really gas in the community has given
rise to much speculation as to the final
outcome, which would undoubtedly
mean a prosperous era for number Of
Garrett county people should oil be
found or much larger supply of gas
be brought in.

Bean Causes Death Of Child At
VindeX

Choked by bean that had lodged
in her windpipe some hours earlier,
three-year-old Sylvia Jean Knox died
Friday evening, November II, at her
home in VindeX.
The child was taken to a doctor

on the bean and her suffering seemed
to have been relieved.
At supper she started coughing
again and died before aid could be
called. The bean had lodged in her
bronchial tube. She was the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Dorsey Knox. Four
brothers and sisters survive.
