u. 5. Protesting Plan
TO Recess U.N. Dec. II
By the Associofed Press

PARIS, Dec. 1.-The United States
protested today against a plan to
recess the United Nations Assembly
about December II and have 1t
reconvene in New York late in
January.
The protest was made: by John
Foster Dulles, acting chairman Of
the American delegation, in private
talks with Secretary-General Trygve
Lie. No decision was reached.
The British, also opposed to q
split session, say they will stay here
until Christmas If necessary to finish
pending business.
American delegation sources said
Mr.. Dulles pointed out that most OF
the major work here could be COM
pleted in time for departure from
Paris by mid-December.
Such a program could not COM
plete action on the question of what
to do with the former Italian col
onies, they said, but under the
American suggestion the question
would be decided here on broad
principles to be worked out by the
year-around Little Assembly at Lake
Success.
Russia and her satellites have
boycotted the Little Assembly in
the past, but the American delega-
ton sources expressed belief the
boycott would end If the Italian
colonial questions were handed to
that body.

the site of this old settlement is now
covered with the impounded waters
Of. the rlood-contro dam recently con-
structed at Confluence, Pennsylvania.
The village of Accident was settled
in 1900, and the present town Of
Grantsville came into being about
1880. Oakland was laid out in 1849,
while Mountain Lake Park, Deer Park
and Loeb Lynn Heights are among
the communities established during
the latter part Of the 10Th century.
Oakland was chosen as the county
seat at an election held in November
1872, the same year in which the
county was erected The first Court
House was built there in 1877, and
continued in use until the present
three-story structure was completed
in 1908. During the Civil War q
Confederate raiding party, in an eff
fort to cripple the operations of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, seized
the railroad station at Oakland.
Improved highways have probably
played a greater part in the recent
development of Garrett County than
any other single factor Situated mid
way between Baltimore and Cincin-
natl, the county is within few hours
drive Of many of the important popu-
lation centers in Maryland and near
by States. Its convenient accessibility
by highway not only has stimulated
the growth Of its tourist and vacation
business but also has resulted in
wider market distribution of its agri-
cultural products.

with respect to the disputed territory
il the Ohio Valley, the area about
Garrett County was destined to play
part in the French and Indian War
Q754-l763). 1t was on the route of
General Braddock's march on Fort
Duquesne in 1855. Following the
disastrous battle with the French
in which Braddock was mortally
wounded, George Washington led the
retrcating army back over the same
route to Fort Cumberland.
few years after the close Of the
French and Indian War Lord Balti-
more decided to encourage the settle
ment of the mountain lands in the eX-
IRENE western part of the Colony.
Certain manors were surveyed and
patented and large area was re
served for Lord Baltimore himself
The remaining territory was thrown
open to settlement in IVA. The out
break Of the Revolutionary War in
the following year brought an abrupt
end to these colonizing activities.
The General Assembly in 1880
seized all the Maryland property of
British citizens, including the lands
owned by Lord Baltimore. As the
State had previously promised to give
80 acres Of land to each Maryland
soldier who served three years in the
Continental Army, the confiscated
lands in Garrett County were used to
fulfill this pledge. More than 1000
military lots" were laid out, chiefly
in areas suitable for cultivation. The
State then disposed of the rest of the
land as rapidly as possible, much of
it passing into the hands of non-resi-
dent owners.
Selbysport, the oldest town in the
county, was founded prior to 1898.

quented by various Shawnee tribes
who came there to hunt in the forests
on simply to pass through the area
while travelling from one district to
another. During the course of their
migrations the Indians had estab-
lished a number Of trails throughout
the county The most famous of these
was known as Nemacolin's Path,
which extended from the Potomac to
the Monongahela. This route was
followed by General Braddock in his
march on Fort Duquesne and in the
building of the National Road, now
L. S. Highway 40.
The westernmost sections of the
Colony had been visited by white men
long before the arrival of the first
settlers. In 1749 the Ohio Company
was organized for the purpose of de-
veloping the Ohio Valley Two of the
company's agents, Thomas Cresap
and Christopher Gist, were among the
outstanding figures in the early
history of Allegany and Garrett
Counties. Both of these men had eX-
plored the back country prior to
Washington's first visit there in 1853,
when he passed through the region
on his way to Forts Venango and LIE
Boeuf to warn the French about
building forts in the territory claimed
by the English.

honeymooned at Deer Park, and Cen
eral Lew Wallace wrote "Ben Hur"
during his stay at the Glades Hotel
in Oakland. In the 1SS0's the Method
list Church undertook the establish
ment of Mountain Lake Park as
summer resort combining religious,
educational, and recreational activi-
ties. The great popularity of these re-
sorts commenced to decline after two
OF three decades, and it was not until
after World War | that a renewed
interest was shown in the areas va
cation possibilities.
The completion Of the hydro-elec-
trio dam on Deep Creek in 1925
marked the beginning of a new era
in the county's recreational develop
ment. The beautiful artificial lake
formed by the dam is about - miles
in length and varies in width from a
few hundred feet to a mile and a half.
1t has a surface area of approximate
ly $500 acres, and its more than IS
miles of shoreline is bordered W h
beautiful scenery ranging from steep
wooded cliffs to gently sloping
meadows. The lake is now widely
used for swimming, boating and fish
ing, and many summer cottages have
been built along its shores. Owned by
the Pennsylvania Electric Company,
the lake has been leased to the Mary
land Game and Inland Fish Commits
sion. This agency keeps the lake
stocked with large numbers of fish,
and controls its use for recreational
purposes.
The three large State Forests in
Garrett County also afford many OPP
p0rtunities for outdoor recreation.
Hunting and fishing are permitted in
season and trails, camp sites, and
picnic areas are found in numerous
places. Swallow Falls State Forest.
situated few miles north of Oakland,
contains a recreational area with a
50-acre lake, vacation cabins, and
other facilities. Two of the most
picturesque waterfalls in Maryland
are located in that vicinity. Swallow
Falls is widely known for its unusual
beauty, and Muddy Greek Falls, drop
ping about 20 feet, is the highest in
the State. Another interesting feature
Of this district is the tract of about
20 acres of virgin hemlock, one of the
last remnants of more than 5 million
acres.
Recreation in the Savage River
State Forest, which occupies the rug
ged country between Big Savage and
Meadow Mountains, is conferred at
New Germany. In addition to its 49,
acre lake and numerous summer
cabins, the facilities at New Germany
include an open ski slope, downhill
and cross-country ski trails and
ski lodge.

Hay occupies a larger acreage in
Garrett County than all the other
crops combined. In 1914 more than
$4,000 tons Of hay were harvested
from over 10000 acres. Practically
all of the production consisted Of
clover. Oats, corn, wheat, buckwheat,
Irish potatoes, and vegetables are the
other leading crops. Irish potatoes
have recently supplanted wheat as
the principal cash crop. Sweet corn
and green peas, which are grown
chiefly for processing, are the major
vegetable crops. Apples are raised on
most of the farms, but the bulk of
the crop is used for home consump-
ton.

Historical Sketch

The region now included in Garrett
County had been under the juris-
diction of four different county gov
ernments before it was finally set up
as an independent county unit. o.
riginally part of Prince Georges
County, it became a part of Frederick
County in 1748, part of Washington
County in 1776, and part of Ale
gany County in 1899. Separated from
the latter county in 1872, Garrett was
the twenty-third and last county to
be erected in Maryland.
Chiefly because of its rugged land
scape, remoteness from the more
populated sections of the Colony, and

Population

At the time of its organization as
a county in 1872, Garrett had an esti-
mated population of around 5000 per-
sons. BY 1910 the number of inhabit-
ants had increased to 20,1O5. During
the next two decades there was
slight decline in population, but in
1910 it rose again to new high of
21,9S1, approximately half of which
resided on farms. The summer popu-
lation is increased somewhat by the
influx Of many tourists and vacation
lists.
According to the last census, the
county had nine incorporated COM
munities Oakland, the county seat
and largest town, had 1910 popula-
ton of 1887 The other Incorporated
places are charlottesville Up. SOD,
Friendsville (p. 500, Mountain Lake
Park (p. SD, Grantsville Up. 1869,
Loeb Lynn Heights Up. 339), Bloom
ipgton Up. 33S), Deer Park (p. 329),
and-"Ac tident (p. 1850. Among the
larger incorporated places are the
mining towns of Kempton and Vim
deX, each of which has a population
Of several hundred inhabitants.
Recreation
The first serious attempt to exploit
the recreational attractions Of Gar
rett County was made about Is years
ago by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road. In 1872 it built large summer
hotel at Deer Park, and several years
later erected second huge structure
at Oakland. The area became very
popular as a summer resort, and
many famous people were included
among its thousands of visitors.

the stream joins the North Branch of
the Potomac River. Begun in 1889 by
the Works Progress Administration,
construction operations were sus-
pended in 1912 on account Of wartime
conditions, and so far have not been
resumed. The project at that time was
about two-thirds completed.
The dam was sponsored by the
Upper Potomac River Commission for
the purpose Of augmenting the flow
Of the Upper Branch of the Potomac
for industrial use and for pollution
abatement in the area between Luke
and Cumberland, in Allegany County.
The design Of the dam calls for
a compacted earth and rock fill
structure about IT'S feet in height 1t
will have storage capacity OF $780,
100000 gallons, or a quantity suf-
flcient to provide a minimum flow in
the North Branch at Luke of approx
mately 100 cubic feet per second dur
ing the dry summer and fall months.
Although a total of $3,965,000 has
already been spent on the project, it
Is of no value in its present condition
Congress has authorized the COM
pletion of the dam, subject to certain
local cooperation, but no appropria-
ton has yet been made for this pur-
pose. 1t is estimated that some ST.
100000 would be required to COM
plete the dam under present con-
ditions.
