Government and RailroadsNew Deal Policies Viewed as Unjust

To Many Bondholders

To the Editor of The Eeio York T im es.A few months ago Jesse H. Jones,

head of RFC, addressed a bankers’ convention as follows:

“I have thought and still th ink 'that generally speaking the first m ortgage- holder, regardless of the term s of his m ortgage, should not be allowed to take all the earnings, leaving nothing for junior security holders. * ♦ * I am aware of the sanctity of contract, and that the first m ortgage-holders took a sm aller yield in order not to speculate. But m ortgage securities have been sold with representations as to safety by issuing houses and m ost bondholders were told that their bonds were good or they would not have bought them .”

The im plication is that the purchase of Junior bonds is speculative, but that such speculators are justly entitled to have their losses recouped a t the ex­pense of those w ho refused to take the chances th at appealed to the specula­tors; that, in any case, owners of prior liens, com prising m ostly trustees, sav­in g s banks and life insurance com­panies, are liable to be m ulcted for rep­resentations alleged to have been made by and to persons wholly unknown to them , long after their first-m ortgage bonds w ere acquired or issued.

A R ailroad Exam pleC hicago & North W estern is a tjqjical

exem plification of th is doctrine. The property has been efficiently m anaged. In 1913 it did a gross business of $83,-000.000 at a cost of 136,000,000 man- hours; in 1932 its gross w as $72,000,000, done w ith 62,000,000 man-hours. I f the 1913 w age schedules had been in effect in 1932, the net earnings would have been $22,000,000 greater than they were; and in such event the $11,000,000 deficit of the latter year would not have been incurred, the fu ll 7 per cent dividend would have been paid on the preferred and 5 per cent on the com mon.

Up to D ec. 31 last RPC and PW A had advanced to the road $49,437,630, the1. C. C. certify in g that the road’s finan­cial structure did not need overhauling. A large share of these advances w as devoted to interest on junior liens, and these advances w ere secured a lm ost en­tirely by pledge of junior or otherw ise doubtful securities, notably $65,615,000 of the road’s own refunding bonds, now selling around 36 and last year down to 17; also by $46,186,000 C., St. P ., M. & O. 5s, covering property th at has not earned a dividend since 1923, or even operating expense since 1929 until last year, and then barely.

The m otivation basic to RFC w as th at it would be contrary to public policy to allow large and supposedly solvent con­cerns to drift into bankruptcy a fter 1929.

Inasm uch as the railroads owed their evil plight largely to the fatuous policies pursued by Congress, it w as equitably incum bent on Congress, through RFC and similar agencies, to come to their rescue, even at some loss to the Federal Treasury.

An Instance of N ew D ealing In 1932 and after. N ew Dealers re-

I joiced that they were not as other m en, extortioners, unjust, m oney-changers. But, by the Chicago & North W estern’s reorganization plan RFC and PW A are to receive first mortgage bonds dol­lar for dollar, while the holders of the underlying general mortgage bonds, a first lien on 4,919.39 miles, are asked to accept 25 to 33 per cent of face in

first m ortgage bonds, and the balance, 75 to 67 per cent in incom e bonds; w hile the common stockholders are to be given one share o f new com m on, w ith ­out assessm ent, for each two shares owned of extant com m on, together w ith a warrant allow ing the purchase o f an­other share of com m on during 1937 at $10. This is N ew D ealing w ith a ven­geance, and it is substantia lly identical w ith procedures sought to be follow ed in the reorganization o f b illions o f other rail securities now being handled under the provisions o f 77b of the B ankruptcy Act.

In th is nation there are 8,000,000 in­dividual bondholders, 25,000,000 bank de­positors and 63,000,000 owners of one or more life insurance policies, not to m ention the clientele o f untold thou­sands of philanthropic and educational enterprises. I f th ese h osts w ere arrayed in opposition to such dealings, as th ey easily m ight be, th ey would be irre­sistib le. T hat they have not been m ar­shaled has a sin ister aspect. The execu­tives concerned bear a fiduciary rela­tion, a relation accounted sacrosanct am ong all reputedly civilized peoples. B etw een a fa ineant and a m alfeasant trust-officer there is no eth ica l d istin c­tion. W . B. S h e p p a r d .

Yates County Judge G ilbert H. Baker, of Penn Yan, was guest sp eak ­er a t the recen t reunion of the K ing’s Business Sunday School C lass, held a t M iddlesex.' N. Y.. of which class Lewie C. W illiam s is teacher and has served in th a t capacity for th ree gen­erations of Middlesex folk. Judge Baker gave a fine address, which fol­lows:

•‘SOMK Tujyus I HVVK LKVKNKD l> 29 YKARS BN THE BENCH”I know of no th ing finer-—of no trib -

I u te m ore sin cere and touching than I this g a th erin g of people from far and

n ear to express app recia tion and g ra t­itude to one who has tau g h t the

I sp iritu a l life to th ree generations of ( his neighboi's—stand ing s ta lw a r t and ; unafraid on a rugged h u m an ita rian ! p lane: stem m ing the tide of a genera- I tion which seeks happ iness and suc- ! cess on low er levels, and teac.hing th a t I the only perfect joy comes to him who

keeps his hands clean and Ins h eart pui-e.

The host whom we I'ove and honor does not teach the sou r and dour life of the P u ritan s . He is an optim ist. He enjoys his ideals and finds fun in liv­ing for them . C hrist-like , the tone of his life is ju l)ilan t and joyful and r a ­d iates to us the joy th a t m akes th is a perfec t day.

It is w ith such teach ers and in such places as his Sunday School th a t tru e ch a i'ac te r is developed: righ t, self-re sp ec tin g living is tau g h t, and w here ind ifference to w rong is overcam e, and w here the youthfu l m ate ria l of im ­pu lses and passions a re m olded into c id e r and beauty.

It has been d em o n stra ted tim e and ag a in th a t no co n stitu tio n of Civil G overnm ent, how ever g re a t and po­ten t, no civil law s fo rb idd ing w rong can force people in to th e “ s tra ig h t and n a rro w p a th .”

M orality , as we u n d e rs ta n d and p rac tice it: self-con troU se lf-den ia lhave been developed since the adven t , of C h ris tian ity . E xcep t as taugliL by a sm all g roup of G reek p h ilo so p h ers , our p re se n t s ta n d a rd s of liv in g w ere u n ­know n u n til they w ere es tab lish ed by the X azai’ene and ca rried to th e w orld by H is d iscip les.

If th ese high s ta n d a rd s 'of liv in g a re to su rv ive, it m u st be th ro u g h the teach in g s of the hom e, th e ch u rch and its r ig h t a rm —th e S unday School.

W hen the liome, th ro u g h laz in ess or ig n o ran ce , 'or the S unday S chool., th ro u g h ind ifferen ce , seek to sh if t I th e ir o p p o rtu n itie s and d u tie s to th e | S ta te , th ey a re sow ing th e seeds of i d isa s te r . ^

It is the tendency of th is tim e, in c o u n trie s governed by chosen l a w - : m ak ers , to en a c t p ro h ib itiv e law s and ! see k th ro u g h g o v ern m en ta l agencies.

AVe a re en jo ined to “ re n d e r u n to C aesa r th a t w hich is C a e sa r’s an d "n to God th a t w hich is G'od’-s.” I t m u st follow as a n e c essa ry co ro lla ry th a t th e d u tie s of th e S ta te and of the C h u rch a re se p a ra te and d is tin c t.

_eloped by the Church and which, lo be of moral worth, m ust be v o lu n ta r­ily chosen by each individual.

It is for this labor of love, so suc­cessfully applied, tlia t we honor our host to-day.

He has so deftly determ ined the di­vision betw'een Church, and S ta te th a t I am sure no one in his Suiulay School class would take him for a ra g ­ing p artisan of the School of .Jeffer­son, and no one who reade the Mid­dlesex colum n of the Penn Yan Demo­cra t witli due apprecia tion of hi« high ideals, gets a real view of h is w ork am ong the young people of the Mid­dlesex Valley.

A life so cheerfu lly devoted to the w ell-being of o thers is not w ithout its fru it, and we all find we can, w ith profit, take a leaf from his life. As we face the problem s of modeim life, we find d iseases th a t m ust be healed,

The field men for the Comstock Canning corporation. F inger Lakes and Rushville plants, have been busy this week placing 5,000,000 lady bug beetles throughout this vicinity. Foi the past several years each spring these lady bug beetles have been re­leased and, while they are imported from the mountainous d istricts of California, from all observation there c is a certain percentage of them th a t 8 carry through the w inter and propa- gate. S

The lady bug beetle is one of th e£ enemies of the aphis, which are found*g on a g reat many of the green crops growing in the vicinity, and. as a re- c suit of this planting of the lady bug ^ beetles from year to year, it is fe lto th a t a better control will be gained ^

Those beetles are very sim ilar tc the common lady bug, known to ev- B ery child, except they are spotted § ra ther than striped. They are col- ^ lected during the w inter months in 2 the Rocky mountains by the Indians 8 and brought m to the cold storage o where they are placed in containers 5 and kept m a state of hibernation in“

In opening the new store a t Penn Yan, N. Y., Saturday morning, the W. T. G rant Company brings to Penn Yan a new type of m erchandising in ­stitution. A chain store, doing busi­ness along departm ent store lines, and offering many m erchandise class­ifications at popular prices, the G rant fitores are unlike any other storps in America.

Penn Yan’s new Grant store is the latest step in the expansion of this chain which in less than 25 years has become one of America’s dominating merchandising institutions. Grant stores now number over 300, are lo­cated in 34 sta tes of the Union, and this year will do an aggregate busi­ness of over $75,000,000. Activities of Grant stores cover practically half of the wor_ld with goods from Europe and the Orient appearing on the coun­ters along with selecied domestic merchandise.

n . J. i^Tancis, who has been named : manager of the local store, comes here from Thompsonville, Conn. Mr. F ran ­cis is a trained m erchant, being a product of the Grant system of 'train­ing its own executives. All the m an­agers, and with the exception of a few technical men, all the officials of the

\ \ 'i th a view lo securing an accurate survey ot l.he m arsh lands a t the foot of Lake Keuka and in the western

■ portion of Penn Van, Chamber of Commerce and village officials Tues­day afternoon inspected the property. They were accompanied by Mr. Bush* ey of the landscape gardening depart­ment of the state college of agricul­ture, Cornell university, Ithaca, and George Simmonson, surveyor, of Penn Yan.

The title to the m arsh land is now held by a committee of the Penn Van Chamber of Commerce, preparatory to turning it over to the village lor de­velopment as a park. Tlie chamber officials are expecting to make a thor­ough survey of the entire district and to have tentative plans di’awn for the park development. These plans would then be worked over by local officials until they seemed satisfactory for a civic improvement project extending over a considerable period of time. Complete and detailed plans would then be prepared by a landscape gar­dening specialist.

Mayor T. W arner Windnagle; Dr. H. .1. MacNaughton, village trustee; E. C. Gillett, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce; E. J. Walker, Ji\, and Sid­ney E. Ayres, members of the park committee of the chamber; Charles Andrews, Fred Dutcher, Mr. Bushey, James Osborne and George Simmon- son made the inspection trip.

Several of the men expressed en­thusiasm as they saw the prospects for transforming a breeding place lor mosquitoes and carp into a beautifu.1 park with lagoons and drives.

iMr. Mills and his com pany own som e 5,000 aci’es of land abou t the 'l i t t le lakes" and they expect to drill

for gas on tliese holdings. The fact th a t rhe B elm ont Q uadrang le co rpo ra­tion has sunk severa l successful wells in th is im m ed ia te te r r i to ry leads them to believe th a t they m ay be able to V'oduce gas a s w'ell as e lec tr ic i ty in ■ faying q u an t i t ie s from th e ir holdings.

j!n the sou.th side of the initial one. Frhe foundation and well for this sec- *ond un i t w ere m ade w hen the first unit was constructed .. In explain ing the shut-doAvn Mr. Mills said :

‘‘W hen we closed the h y d ro e le c t r ic [p lan t a t K euka it was for th ree rea- !sons:

•First, to d raw more w a te r from the lakes would m ean b ring ing the shore line so low th a t some of our friends

[owning co ttages would be inconveni- feenced. Vv’e, therefore , threw' in a d irt fdam to preven t any po.ssible w ater leak ing th rough our gates, so th a t the co ttage ow ners would be protected .

‘‘Second, since the w'ater was so low, i t Avas considered a favorable t im e to begin the construction ot the second u.nit of 3,000 kilow atts capacity,

.and it was in tended to im m edia te ly ^ leg in the Avork. We found th a t de- %very on m achinery , pipe, etc., w'ould

be so m uch delayed th a t it Avould run | into the Avet season before we could perform the Avork, so Ave have post­poned th a t Avork until next sum m er Avhen the dry season Avill again begin.

To the E d ito r,Peun ’i a n Deniocrait:

In lhe ea rly a-ays, a fte r C harles W illianiison took iKvageaaiou of th e Phelips & Go<i-ham P urchase, u u d er-

!deed from Robert. M orris, qf P h ila - Idelphia, the finauc.er of th e 'R e v o lu - jtion , (the m ost difficult problem iu the developm ent of th is veritab le w ild er­n ess and the g rea test necessity w as a m eans of trau sp o rta tio ii. R oads m u st be bu ilt and w a te r ti-ansi>orta- tion was not only the cheapesit m eth ­od b u t n a tu re ’s p repared highivay fo r trav e l.

C harles W illiaanson’s first v illage of developm ent was a t B ath w hich w as th e only gatew ay from the sou th and so u th eas t over the road w hich he con­s tru c ted from th e te rm inus of th e P en n sy lv an ia public highw ay in Northiumiberland County, P ennsy lvan ­ia th ro u g h L iberty and B lossburg to “The Genesee C ountry”.

C harles W illiam son, w ith h is fam ­ily, resided in N orthum berland from th e d a te of his deed, April 11th, 1792, u n til the sp rin g of 1793 w hen he laid

□ out and founded Bath, w hich he nam -if.ed fo r L aura , th e Countess of B ath ,

the d au g h ter and only ch ild of S ir AVillam P u lteney , whom he r e p r^ sen ted , as h is agent.

In Bath, C harles W illiam son es tab ­lished h is firs t land office in 1793 w here he also established th e f irs t

I new spaper in W estern New Y ork in the sp rin g of 1796.

Geneva, being the gatew ay to tihe G enesee C onutry from th e east, C h arles W illiamison laid ou t th e v il­lage of G eneva in the sum m er of 1793. H ere he estab lished the second new s­p ap e r in D ecem ber, 179t6, The O ntario G azette & W estern C hronicle. T h is p ap e r w as of sh o rt d u ra tion , fo r its ow ner, Lucius Carey, moved the p la n t to C anandaigua, the county inDecem'her, 1797. As evidenced by the issue of the O ntario G azette & W est­ern Chronicle, the orig inal before me, dated October 20th, 1797, C harles W il­liam son gives notice th a t he w ill m eet prospective custom ers fo r lan d s a t “Pow ell’s H o tel” in Geneva from the 10th to the 30th of Decemlber, 1797, the “Land Office G eneva”. In th e issue of A pril 28, 1797, how ever, O harles W il­liam son announces, fo r the firs t tim e th a t a “Land office w ill be opened th e first day of May next, a t the H otel in Geneva” re la tiv e to a ll lands in On­tario County; but, “All business re la ­tive to lands in S teuben Oounty wiill be tran sac ted a t th e Land Office a t Bath, as u su a l”.

In 1803 one G eneral George M cClure, a re tired officer of the R evolution, em igrated to Bath, and, a s th e offi­cial records show in the in co rp o ra ­tion of transportaition com panies, tu rnpikes, etc., becam e a lead ing c iti­zen. In o th er indusrtries, such as banks, he is found as an in co rp o ra to r, in fact, of the B ank of Geneva, in co r­porated in 1817.

As a natu ra l h ighw ay the w a te rs of Crooked Lake had been used fo r p ri­vate trave l; hut, the firs t vesse l fo r public service, a sloop, w as b u ilt and operated by G eneral G eorge M cClure, bu ilt in 1808.

In the Geneva A dvertizer, issue of Ja n u a ry 11th, 1809, the firs t adver-. tiaem ent appears for th is sloop, the “Schooner ^ l l y ”, which is quoted fo r

I h isto rical record, as fo llow s;“Schooner S a lly ”

He wanted lo take the day off<( but there was that suit that a cus­tomer needed . . . and then more work came in.

Working across the .shop from him was the fifth Mrs. Nissen. They were married eight years ago after death had taken his four other wives. |

Better known in Penn Yan as “Andy," he'll be 7fi on next Nov.

He was born in H aderslev in the province of Selesvig, northern Ger­many. At the age of 18, he hegar_ learing the tailoring trade in Asko "

Penn Yan as his objective. His married sister was living on a farm near here.

Andy recalls arriving here with but $2.40, the few blankets they used in sleeping on board the ship and a little extra clothing. About the first place he visited with his best girl was the M ethodist par­sonage where $2 of their slim nest- egg went to the Rev. J. H. McCarty for amrrying them in a simple ceremony.

"So we started in housekeeping '

Denmark. Nine y ea is later, iie ,yhad saved enough money to buy passage across the Atlantic and with his best girl, Anna Nielsen, he set sail for this countrv with

v'ith 40 cents between us,” Andy i reported. On .July 29, -50 year.- ! ago, he started working in the , tailor shop of Edward Donahue,! continued in the same shop w h en ' Sam Fyhush purchased the busi-1 ness. After .11 years with Fyhush ' he went in business for himself ' 10 years ago. 1

The v illage board of trustees, in regu lar m eeting M onday even in g authorized the purchase of a D ia- phone horn to rep lace the fime alarm bell located a t the top of the stee l tow er on the dow n-tow n engine house, and the siren, located on the up-town engine house, co m er o f N orth avenue and M ain streets.

Mr. Sheppard is m odest and u n as­suming and has a keen sense of hum or.

82-Year-Old Penn Yan AttorneyRefuses Rides-Walks for Health

Penn Yan—“No thanks, I never ride when I can walk,” George S. Sheppard, 82-ycar old Penn Yan altorne^.-. has told m any a m otorist who has offered him a lift.

For walking outdoors, Sheppard believes, is’ “good medicine.”

He gets in his daily walk re­gardless of w eather, w inter or sum m er, and walks with a brisk stride as though he were really going somewhere.

Sheppard, who still practices law actively a t his Main S treet office, celebrated his 82nd birthday Sept. 12.

A grea t believer in the out-of- doors, he recalls giving up his law practice when but three years out of Columbia Law School because of ill health. He woi'ked for> 11 years

D i e d . — At his residence near this vil­lage ou Thursday, the 27tb of February, M ajor G e o r g e A. S i i e p f a h d , aged sev­enty-one years.

The deceased was the oldest son of the la te Hon. M orris F . Sheppard and R a­

chel bis wife. H e prefered through life the independent and honorable calling of an American farmer, and on a pattern farm of fifty acress be died. l ie owned and managed a large farm in bis days of health and strength . H is small, sung farm, he said, was more suitable to his years, and he died w ith his business, moral, and political harness on. W ithinthe past year and a half his h..me hasbeen invaded three times by death, gath- e ring from it a dearly beloved wife, his eldest daughter, and now tbe head of the fam ily. H e leaves three prom ising chil­dren, Geoiige'(almo3t a young man),Anna and W alter.

Major Sheppard wasa highly respected citizen through life. H e was a kind hus- b an d and father, he was honest, he was i true. H is word passed as gold. H e was a temperance man from principle, and strictly anti-tobacco. Ever active ia po­litical m atters, he invariably decline^ preferm ent. D uring the late terrible rebellion no one among us stood firmer or acted with more vigor through words, deeds and means, in defence of our im­perilled Republic. IJis funeral took | place on the spring-like, serene Sabbath afternoon last. The religious exercises were conducted by Rev. William Laurie, pastor of ihe P resbyterian church of Penn Yan, who delivered a very ap p ro ­priate, feeling, yet searching discourse from the tex t as recorded in the lOlh chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, last clause of tbe o3d verse: “ Now therefuie are we all here present before Gcd, U

hear all th ings th a t are commanded thee of God.”

A very large concourse of relatives, friends and neighbois accompanied the rem ains to their resting place in our cem- etary, there to repose by the side of his departed wives and children un til “ the earth and the sea shall give up their dead and we all stand before the judgm ent

.seat of C hrist.” ' F .

called upon by his fellow-citizena to a t­tend to theirs. Sometimes a couple of neighbors would come to him to settle their little difficulties, bu t oftener to be­come their servant in official capacities, reaching from M agistrate to M em ber of Assembly. H e represented Yates county in the S tate Legislature during tbe ses­sions of 1828, 1829, and 1830, w ith honor to himself and credit to his constituents, taking rank among the foremost men there. And although a m an of outspoken political sentiinents,he could always poll a vote in excess of his p arty ticket. He, w ith others, ex6rted all his powers to promote the prosperity and ascendancy of the upper or north portion of the vil­lage u n til i t was forced to succumb to the w ater power, the canal, the bank,and the business of the town or south portion of Penn Y an. There are ye t a few left who can look back and recall to m ind the portly form and genial face of M orris F . Sheppard, and the m any pleasant hours they have passed w ith him in his office listening to his la te P resident L in-

Historic Reminiscences.

George A. Sheppard.

M r . E d it o r :—I t m ay neither be in­appropriate nor unprofitable to offer a few rem arks respecting the father and family of th e la te deceased George A, Sheppard. They may awaken in terest­ing reminiscences. H a lf a century ago, M orris F . Sheppard, Esq., then in the prime of life, was one of the prom inent and enterprising citizens of Penn Y an.— H is children by his wife Rachel were George A., Sarah F ., John S., Charles C. and Susan. The father and the sons have been prosperous, y e i more than prosperous, in the ir business affairs, b j reason of their economical, industrious,

tem perate habits. Of said

coin-like sayings, and to words of in te r­est and value to themselves on very m any subjects. H is advice in business m atters, when called for, was always cheerfully and frankly given, and i t evi­denced wisdom in the hearer to profit by it.

A t th a t day there stood in this village and vicinity, in the ir full m aturity , as friends, neighbors and business men with Morris F . Sheppard,such names as E lijah Spencer. S. S. Ellsw orth, Joshua Lee, Aaron Eemer,W illiam M. Oliver,W illiam Shattuck, Joel Dorman, H enry Welles, John N. Rose, Abraham Dox. M eredith Mallory, Trum an Spencer, A. P. Tos- burgh, Avery Smith, Jonathan W hita­ker, Cornelius Masten,Samuel Lawrence, Miles Benham, H enry A. Wisner, James Taylor, John Pow ell,E li Sheldon,SamuelG. Gage.

Oliver, Dr. U ri Judd, Ira Gould. E lder A bner Chase, Samuel Wise, Eben Smith, Jonathan A. H all. James D. M organ, N. Tunnicliff, John Ellsworth, James Arm strong, Ben­jam in Tyler, and Joseph Ketchum, all of whom, w ith m any others not this mo­m ent remembered, have gone down to their graves. In view of this record does i t not behoove us old, middle-aged, and young, when we see in death’s doings w hat shadows we are here, to be m aking preparation for the great event th a t m ust shortly overtake us all, remember­ing there is no work, nor devise, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave w bither thou goest.” Now “ Prepare to meet thy God.” F .

BY O LIV ER PR EN TISS.

In my youthful days, I went to a neigbboring village, Penn Yan, to hear the celebrated preacher, David Gilson.

Gilson had been educated on the stage. At seventeen years of age he left the stage for tbe pu lp it, carry ing to the pulpit the eloquence of the stage. He dramatized.

H is sermon on the occasion aforesaid was a well boiled down demonstration of the final salvation of all men.

Sermon ended, preacher seized his hat and pu t for his hotel, corner of Main arid Head streets, leaving the assembled mul­titude to close the m eeting in their ownway.

This little sinner followed tbe preacher. By p u ttin g on my best speed I succeeded in halting him on the steps of the hotel.

I said, “ Hold on here. You have told us of a splendid salvation. Please have the politeness t a post us up on the lolien

and the how we may come in possession of th a t g reat salvation ?

t“ M.y mission is to^ proclaim the cardi­nal tru th . W ith th e details—the when

and the Jiotc—I have no vocation F*In after life, when I had outgrown my

teens, in my rambles in search of some one or more who had the desired voca­tio n ,! came across tbe Shaking Quakers, so called.

H aving been w ith the Shakers some five or six months, long enough to be­come Shaker dyed in the wool, and hav­ing many relatives and some acquaint ances whence I came, Twas thought best —at least I thought so—to make them a visit. I went.

A t my m other’s, some four miles from Penu Yan, while seated a t the table w riting a letter, in came Isaac Gage.— G randm other M iriam called him Brother Doctor. He was her m other’s seventh son.

W ith outstretched hand hesaid,*‘01iver I heard you was here and I came lo see you. I hear you have found a new re ­ligion. I w ant to know w hat it is yon have found ? ’

** You know, Doctor, in our youthful days we used to talk of agreat salvation V”

Yes.”" Well, th a t is w hat I have found.” “ W hat evidence have you tha t you

have found th a t salvation ?”“ Were you like the prophet Jerem iah

in a dark, miry pit, and some Ebed-mel-j ick should take you by the hand, lilt you out, take you to a clean brook, strip off your filthy garments, wash you all clean ind nice, and clothe you in white linen, ■vhat evidence would you hav e th a t you vas out of the p it ?”

W ith great tears rolling down his m anly cheeks he said, as ho took me by the hand, “ Well, Oliver, God bless you !”

I t was the effective, fervent prayer of one of N ature’s nobles—an konetft m an.— Why shouldn’t it avail much ?

I t was our last meeting. We’ll meet again in some of the worlds.

Thu lullowiug Jetter camo into our possession some liuio sinco, and at tbe request of certain parties who aro de­scendants of the writer, wo conclude to give it a place in our paper. Wfj sup­pose it was written somewhere in what is now called Torry, or it may have been Milo. It was then called Jerusalem, so named by Jemima Wilkinson, as the place where a new order of things, or a new system of religion, was to find a refuge. The paper upon vvhich it is written, is well preserved and the writ­ing as legible as the day it was v/ritten. At the date of the writing this country was outside of civilization, and had no postal facilities, and this letter was sent by private conveyance to its destination, youth Kingston, R. I., It was Carrie \ to Onondaga by one man, and returned, and after some delay was again sent for- w’ard and reached its destination. The writer was maternal grandfather to tho late James P. Hazard, and was addressed to his daughter, mother of Mr. J. P. H. We follow the general style of the letter and do not correct the orthography.— The writer has several descendants in this county, and this letter we think will interest them, and they will have it where it can be preserved and kept for the perusal of generations yet unborn of the same family.

J e r u s a l e m , Sept. ye 7, a . p ., 1792.My der child: la m Jest recovering

from a verry heavy Shoek of Sickness, So as to be able to ride about a Little.— The rest of tbe family well, as I hope you and Yours are. Alice was Marryed a Short time past to Parley Gates, near Canandaigue. She is now at home for a Short time. Your letters came safe to hand by Hassard Shannon in a Short tkne. Am Surprised that' all my letters to you failed, Especially that by the Hand of Benedict Robinson, whose Con­duct is not good Hear. Alice desires you to Send her part of the Money the place Sold for by Daniel Brown, Jr., who Un­dertake to Deliver you this letter with his own hand. And also to bring your returns Safe to me. I think it best to send forward payment also for that Brigg’s note, as he Makes a Great Noise about it, & I will, if able, See it Justly Settled. And if you Could procure any Sum of Money towards my Soldier Money, by Borrowing (if it is not ready) from 500 to 800 Dollars or More or less, & send it to me by the Barrer Danl Brown, Jun., It would Much Oblige me. Whatever Moneys you Send of the three above mentioned parcels, Take his receits for the Same, to be Delivered to me, and I will Give him Discharges from said re­ceits for the Same, when I receive the money of him, you Sending me an Amount of the Exact Sums you So Send by him. Let as much of the money be Changed into Gold, as may be, for the sake of easy & Safe carriage; and each peace carefully weighed & wraped in pa­per Seperate from each other & marked, the w eight* worth each pojjer Contains; And also a list of each peace, its weight & value, Sent with the Same.

In some of my Letters vvhich failed, I wrote you Instructions & a power to re­cover my Son Henry’s part of the Soldier money, & to Send the Same to me with Mine, which 1 hereby'- renew and Im- povver yau lo due as fully as my Self could in person. Oliver told me when I was very Sick he wrote you to Send him the pair of Cattle & money you Mention­ed ill your last letter to Me, to him by Reuben Luther, Which 1 am willing you Should due, as I have Given the Same to him. It is out of my power to get any Settlement vvith these Strange people.— Wm. Potter proposes Settleing with me himself and takeing the whole business into his hand, and Compelling them to Comply with a Just Settlement, Which I

Settle with

am verry willing to it ne wn. - me Near what is right, the Nearest thatany of them has come iu any offer to me is to allow me about tvv A thirds my Ju;it Due, and I think to waite a little longer before I settle so. I wish you to Hire for me a good faithfull Man, that may be depended upon, & I will give him good wages & pay & Employ him a Year or more as we can agree, tbe Sooner he comes the better, as I have nobody at all vvith me Now. Oliver has been for him­self this Ceason, And my hired man, vvhose time was not out Uutil midwinter left me when my late Sickness was at its hith. If I settle with these people, I shall want a Carpenter and Several More men Next Spring, which 1 Expect to wright you more fully about in my Next. I hardly think it likely one of the Youn­ger Girls vvill come to Soutkkingston to live, as tbe trouble and Expense will be Considerable, and I shall be the more lone^^m. If Mr. Hassard Should come here and take charge of your Chest, I should like i t ; Otherwise I know not of any Safe conveyance to Send the same to you. The Couduct of tbe people in the Settlement here is worse & worse, they have lost all the Credit they had in the Moral world, & many ot them are Quar- iling Among themselves. It is Supposed the Frd & a few others are Upon another move—Most likely to Niagara or some­where in tbe Upper Canada—As Mr. Dayton is Goan that way, to prepare a place for them (it is thought.) I think it not likely they will return to Pensylvauia nor Southington !!! Give my Kind re­spects to my friends in your Quarter.— Their letter of Recommendation came to hand (tho late and badly worn) for which I Kindly thank them and Consider them my friends Indeed. Should be Happy to Serve them all in my power, which is all that I can do in return. Remember me to Sarah Northup, Lydia & Mary wall, if living. I wish them Happiness here & hereafter, tho hardly Expect to see them again iu time, Except they come here.— Should be very glad if you would move into this country to live, it it Suited you. At auy rate, I hope Mr. Hassard will come here this fall. If he should come, 1 had reather he Brought what Money you send me, then to Trouble Danl Brown, Jr. with it. "Whoever Brings it, don’t fail to let it be put up in tbe man­ner I have mentioned. 1 think it better for the money to come by Mr. Hassard, than any body else. Benedict Robinson was lately Married to Susanna Brown, And John Supiee Married lo Achsah Botsford. fearah Friend Law begins to be too week & Beggerly to be of Much tource. People finding themselves pro­tected by the Laws of the Land, Begin to Neglect their Petticoat Law givers, especially where the Short & Loose Gound Laws Contradict tbe Best Ancient Law givers. Am your affectionate Father,

J a m e s P a r k e r .

October ye3,1792.—Mary—Dear Child: I wrote this letter Some time past, to send by Daniel Brown, Jr., who took it & went as far as the Onondago, & lost his horses there & had to return. Henry Hathaway Undertakes to convey this to you. I vvibli Mr. Hassard to come here —or I wish you not to Send any money Except it be by him or some other Safe hand put up in the Manner I wrote above. I hear I have lost all the money you mentioned. I wish you to Enquire & Send me the Certainty, soon as may be; for it will make Great odds about my laying out my Business, the Bairer waites my respects to Mr. Hassard and you and all Friends. Let me hear from you all opportunitys. Adieu.

This book I have been anxious to ch­ain since learning of its publication ;

but had not expected its be increased from being a my kind friend S. H. E.

In looking over its pages I am carried back with pleasant reminiscences of old friends and assooiaies, which bring to mind many scenes and events in which I have connected in some way that renders the work doubly interesting.

The people of Yates county ought to feel under great obligation to Mr. Cleve­land for the publication of this book.

Accept my thanks for this valuable present, and believe me as ever,

Truly yours,S p e n c e r B o o t h .

K kuka ! Oft thy banks o f g reen ,This race o f fearless men hath seen.T h e “ dim aisles” of thy woodland shore H ath echoed to the voice o f yore.And launched upon thy silvery tide.Thy wave hath sported at his side.But he hath gone—that tiny wave,Sounds its low music near his grave.And his old haun ts in many a glen,Echo the tread o f s tranger me,;i.'1 ha fun-ovv’.s t race—the waving corn —Springs wher > the warrior Ciiief was born . A n d where he piled his a ltar stone,Now .swells the high and ghcteririg dome.And the Id groves that saw his pride Now shade the pale face and his bride./Jiid lover’s stray at evening lime,W here village bells swell tuneful chirne.W here council fire hath brightly shone And was the red m en ’s home alone.A ye ! they h ive past, as leaves that fall W hen f lu tum n h.alh v’teought her sombre pall; f lud soon each deed that well might vie,With aught of prowess stern and high Soon will each wreck o f that people fail .And the Seneca’s deeds be the poe t’s tale.

O nw ard they moved—the hollow glen Is crowded with the dauiiltess m en ,Each arrow to tlie head is d ra w n —Each hatchet from its belt is gone.A nd turning to the opening plain T h e war shout rends the air again A n answer, .aye, a louder blast Along the hills then thundered p a s t ;And coming at the signal cry,T here rises to the warrior 's eye,From craggy bush, on hill side lone —From every gray and mossy stone.A nd glitters in the rays of noon The crimson warrior’s Eagle p lume And r ushiiig forward to the foe,

This contemplated improvement will make a navigalile cointmmtcaUou in the valiev o f the out­let between Crooked Lake ut Penn-Yau, a-id the Seneca Lake at Dresden.

Ditfeieut jilans have been proposed for this nav­igation. The law that authorizes its coustrucliou proposes an independent canal, a slack water nav­igation, or a comhiiiatiou ol' both. Either of these plans are practicable; but 1 am cletirly o f the opin­ion that, I'rom the great descent o f the vqllev, an ludependerit canal is to be lueferred. T he ponds for a slack water navigation would necessarily be short; would require a great proportion o f excava­tion below the siirl'ace o f the water to obtain the requisite depth, and the cost o f the lockpits would he gneatly increased on account o f ])um]<ing and bailing o f water.

T he owners o f hydraulic works, in the dry sea­son of the year, usually reduce their ponds, and in some iustances, from one to three feet. T liis re­duction, w henever it occurred, would prevent the passage o f loaded boats. A river navigation would be more uncertain, the distance would be-increas­ed, would require more for repuirs, and I believe cost mere in tiie construction.

S uyplijof fTater- -Crooked Lake has a surface, by coinpiitatioii, o f about twenty-five sipiare miles. This J.ake is usually from one to liiree feet Iiigber ill the spring freshet, than in the low water o f sum­mer. 1 would propose to make a reservoir o f the Lake, by placing H.isb hoards upon the top o f the dam, to retain the flood waters ; and by regulating the discharge, the surface o f the Lake would be re­duced to low water at a imidi later period in the sea.soii than is usual. T he cut through the bank at the outlet o f the Lake may be so made as to al­low u greater reduction in uncommou droughts. 81iould this plan be adopted and properly carried into ell'ect, so that tho Lake may be at high water mark every sjiring and di:-chargo as it is wanted for the mills, it would give the necessary (juaiitity for the supply o f the canal and add to the value o f the hydraulic power upon the outlet. I fliui, from calculation, that one inch in depth iijioii the surface of the Lake, or to the extent, two inches, will give an ample supply o f water for the season, for all the purposes o f the canal. Reservoirs upon tlii.s plan have been made in many plnces in the states of Rbode-lshmd and MassaciiiiseUs, for the intinufactories: by raising a darn at the outlet of a natural pond, the flood waters are retained in win­ter and spring, and discliarged by a_ regulating gate, so as to increase tlio (pumtity o f water to a great extent in the dry season p f the year. Tlie Blackstoiie Canal has ,-ix re. ei voirs, that will co tain in tho aggregate about 17,i of reserved water; and this q bundaiit supply for the canal a to the river or natural stroam, tlic vea*"-

r „ , , rel about a mile, to I’eiin-Yan vil wastc-vveir, aliove W agener’s mill, w ill s e n s ti regulate the quantity o f water discharged at all times from the Lake level.

3fi/c One— 'I'lie Canal may be made on either side o f the outlet ut W agener’s and Jillet’s dam ; should the north side be chosen, it will save the construction oi'an aqueduct to cress the creek. On the north side there is five chains o f deep excava­tion ; tlie highest point is J8 feet above tlie bottom o f the C an al; then succeeds low land, tluit wiil roiiHire slioal cutting and embankment for half a mi Ip . ’J’he Canal will be made on the north side

I o f the outlet, by excavating from the tuljoining hill for the embankment in i,aw reiice’s poiid.

N ile Tiro— Is uneven; the outlet lias a circuitous course in tlie narrow valley, and in three places conies directly again.st the north bank. In front of Sherman & V /eaver’s mill there wiil be deep ex­cavation, and an dvaiknient imist be formed through Frazee ec ^ o.'s '•lill pond: A new damand mill canal must he made for John Jxawience’s m ills; IVIr. W right’s house, Messrs. Frazee & C o.’s •snw-mill, and IMr. Shepard’s house are to be re­moved from the line o f the canal.

Mile T/trcc— Begins in the narrow valley helow I./iwrence’s mills. T he hills upon each side are high and steep, and are composed o f shelly slate rook. T he valley has but little more than the re­quisite width for Ihe canal and outlet. Here, as in several other places, the tow-path o f the canal may be formed partially from the excavation oflhc new channel for the crk-k. Near the termination of Alls mile the canal passes W ay A ndrews’ mills. I would propose a deep cut from the road, tsnd place a lock north o f the grist-mill, in a rock foimdation, and descend by another lock to the lev­el o f the flat land in the valley.

Mile. Four—T h e canal was located at the foot o f the hill, on the north side o f the valley, and 22 cliains o f this mile will occupy Uie present bed o f the outlet. T he new channel to be excavated lor the outlet, must lie placed at .some distance, so that a wide natural bank w ill be left between it and

' the canal, to ensure the safety o f the towing-patli bank from the action o f the floods. A walling or docking should also be placed again.'-t the canal bank, across the old channel. Near Henderson's mill the river bridge must be moved, and a new road bridce made across the Canal.

Mile Five— Has alluvial c.vcavatiou for fifteen , chains, then pa.sses along near the foot o f the hill

to Malory’s .iMills. 'The dwelling house and shed must be moved, and a lock placed w est o f the road will have 10 feet depth o f excavation in lime.stoiie. This rock continues about live cliains, to the grist- mill. A wall and e 'lanknient w ill be required to make the canal, 1 to turn the outlet into a new channel below tt. uill.

Mile Six— T he com mencement o f this mile i.s J on a flat of alluvial excavation for about 20 chains ; j then the canal w ill de.sceiid by a lock into the

mill pond o f Abraham D ox, at Ilopeton. The towing path w ill he made across the pond by an

I emhankmenl raised above the floods. T w o ik k s placed near IVJ. Shepard Se Go’s mill, at proper in- tevals, wii! give the canal a good direction in allu­vial excavation. For 8 chains the outlet runs at the foot o f the hill, and w ill reijiiire a new bed to be e.xcavated. T he canal will occupy the present bed, and will then continue in a good direction, ill .evel land, to its termination.

ATrt Sixty-eight Cbaiiis— T he first half mile, the canal wil! lie formed by an emhanknient in Bogcrf’s mill jiond; the earth to be taken from the adjoining clay and gravel hill, 'r iie ie w ill he a deep cut acros.s tho road near the suw-mill, and a culvert w ill ho required to cross the mill canal. The line then has a good direction in the alluvial valley, and w ill connect with the Seneca Lalit near I. Se J. Bogert’s store-house.

W e have received, through the hands o f Me.ssr: Spencer and M orris, [genilem en who were a] pointed by the Canal Gominissioueis to jirocui an Engineer to ascertain the lockage Iietweo Blossburg and the New-York State line] the Ri port o f the Engineer, which w ill be found on th last page o f this paper. Importance w ill be a taclied to this Report in con.seqacnce o f the repo tation which jMr. W ilson bears as an engineer, a well as the deep interest l la t seem s goiierall manifested in tho luogress o f the coutemjilale work. It is imnecessai V, at present, to sjieak a large upon the merits o f this subject, as it is a mat ter which tlie [leople have not had lime nor means togivethatconsldeiatiun which its nature demands. H ow ever, w e imagine the enterprise of our citi­zens will not be indulged in slumber, while so im- liortant a work lies dependent on its action, and the citizens o f our sister state, New -Vork, stand ready to co-operate with us in its j)roseCution; and even so confident do they I'eel that the riches o f our Coal and Iron miiie.s will eventually he laid ojien to them, that they are about constructing the Chemuug Canal partly iu order to tbeir transpor- talioii.— Tioga Co.

brethren by three times th ree .)10. Tho Grand Master then strikes the stono

thrice with tbe mallet and says :“ Having now, with the assistance of the

Grand Lodge and the Eratoruity, duly laid tho Corner Stone of the People’s College, according to the rules of our ancient craft, we should suppli­cate tho blessing of tho Great Architect of the Univcise upon this undertaking, and implore that He will be pleased to bless this newly found­ed seat of learning."

■“ May tho all-bounteous Author of Nature blass the inhabitants of this place, and all who ave her« a^sesibled to witness this auspicious cer­emony, witli the n ^ s s a r ic s , conveniences and comforts of life; assist in tho erection and com­pletion of this building ; protect tho workmen from every accident, and long preserve this structure from decay, and whilp g ra f t ing to us all a supply of tho Corn of nounshnieBL itdve Wine of refreshment, and the Oil of joy, u a k e the People’s College worthy of its significant ti­tle, a blessing to this and coming generations of seekers after knowledge, and an honor to this great state ; Amen !

Response—- So mote it bo;11. The plan of the building having been seen

and inspeetod by the Grand Master, he returns it with the tools to the Architect and says :

{G. M.) “ Mr. Architect. These plans having been adopted by the Xr.\isl.e,c5 of tlie College and approved by us, wo return them to you, together with these implements of your art, with the hope.tUat under yo.ur skilful guidance^thc building may progress to completion with all duo speed, and that it may long remain as a monument of your skill as an architect, and tho enterprise of these who projected the design,

12. Address hy the G rand M uster.—“ And now, Brethren and Fellow-Citizens, that the cer-, emoniai part of our duty has been discharged, permit me, (without intruding upon the province of the learned .and distinguished Orator of the day,) to add a few words as lo its obvious pros­pect and meaning.

I t is fitting that tho Free Mason should be hero in that character which h.e is so soofl lo ex­change for that of citieen, Tor to him not only are arGbitocture and its irnplements as household words, bu t he bas a bearlfdrt i&te.r,cst in whatev­er adds to the sum of b,utnanbno.wledga.

Not to the Maso$i oiow is .itgive.n lo uproar tho lofty d-cmq, c«- erect the atatefly edifice, but.Qach well proportioned column, nay, each polished stonej and .each implement of labor, have to him a signincaiil aou speaking language. Those who liave gone before us have left their records, whicli even thc finger of time cannot efface, up­on the lofty cathedral and proud old Tames of the eastern world. There they yet stand in their stately grandeur as solid and enduring as they were at tho commencement of thc rolling centu­ries which have passed over them, and inuto but irrefragable evidences of tho utility and antiqui­ty of tho Craft. As Free and Accepted Masons wo no longer employ the Square, Plumb and, Level in the manual labors of Architecture, but the moral uso which they inculcate, enable us,by their use, to construct amoral edifice whose .cap-, stone will be laid in eternity, i n itbe iqaproasive language of our ritual, “ tho Plumb admonishes us to walk uprightly In our several professions,&C.-"

J t was ,fitting,] thcBefcuto, lot mo repeat, that when an institution of learning ow.as .to be erected, that tho same D raft which builded, amongst a hostqf othecsj {tho Duthedra,! a t Strasburg, that of St, L ondon, and many of the Uni-

defence; and tbe marbled chaplet of sorrow and affection, have each taught their iissprossive andu.soful lessons, hut none of such deep import tn the citizen and the moving millions of our race, ns tho temple of learning where the useful and Gjc true are to bo its lessons.

I t has been our lot as an association embra­cing all cla.ssc3 of men, to have been judged hy tho merest externals, and it is with a feeling of .sorrow untainted by bitterness or anger, that we aro compelled to say that the Fraternity has been tried without a hearing, and condemned without evidenoe, carefully and wisely refraining from religious sectarianism and party politics, it ha.s had to struggle with sectarian rancor, and he as­sailed by party zeal. I t could only submit to these things in silence ; it could not even return tho answer of the noble Grecian : “ Strike, hut hear mo !"

Let it be our confidence and tru.st, that those who are educated at this institution, will be in­duced to_ investigate the principles of Masonry, and looking beyond the mere outward forms of rites and ceremonies, which arc but the dead images of living tilings ; seek tbe truths which are hidden like all the teachings of the olden time, beneath the veil of symbol and allegory, and find that it has with world-wido sympathies and brotherhood, its peculiar laws, language and

‘literature.My brethren, permit me to congratulate you

upon tho prosperous condition of the Fraternity within tho jurisdiction. From the eastern ex­tremity of our great State, where an ocean tumbles its billows, to tho western borders where the thunders of the cataract roll their mighty and continuous anthom, there is one unbroken a r ­ray—one great and united household separated it is true, for convenience, into 410 lodges, with ’35,000 brethren as members—but yet one iu heart and j^urposo.

Long may this continue, and may wo be more zealous of good works than of increase. Then shall our ancient Craft, tracing its lineage from the College of Artificers at Rome-through the Ar­chitects of Asia and the Builders of the Middle Ages, be judged with a righteous judgment, and our exclusiveness in membership bo taken for 4'hat it is meant to be, a tost of merit and a trial of personal worth.

Then, on some liko future occasion to the ques­tion : ITatchm.an, what of the night.?" the an­swer wil) come fMstinct aud clear as the rushing sound of silvery waters; “ The morning com- eth !" a glorious moi'hihg tO which no night shall ever come !

13. The procession then rrturncd in the same order, and the lodge is closed,-

W i e n the procession reached the Col­lege grounds, the m ulti tude o f people pres­ent had become immense. I t is, of course impossible to determine how m any there were, b u t good judges say th e re 'w ere not less than fifteen thousand, m any cai'ry the estimate m uch higher.

I h e sertices a t tho College were con ­ducted in the order tis already published in the Journa l , with the exception tha t Gov. K in g w a8 not present, hav ing been detained by the Tefegraphic celebration at Albany, the day pj'evious. All who cou/d hear and see were deeply interested in the ceremonies. W e shall prrblish the Speech­es, (fee., a t length , hereafter. W e have time and space to-day only for th e Ode and H y m n and for the Sentim ents read at the d inner table, and the list o f Artieleff put under the Corner-Stone.

The d inner was served in good style by Mr. Giles, of the M ontour House, and the speaking a t the tent, by the gentlem en, whose nam es appear below, was alike in ­structive, am using, and to the friends of the College, encouraging.

Tho weather was fine, and the day was a proud one for the friends o f the Collf'ge.It is no longer doubtful, w he the r the sy m ­pathies of tho people are w ith i t ; we greatly rejoice a t the dem onstra tion , and congratulate those who have been active in advancing this enterprise to its p resent position.

W e ought to add th a t the H o n . Charles Cook acted as P res id en t of the day, and bore himself w orthy the place and the oc­casion.

P e n n Y a n Attorney^ 90^ T h in k s H e ’s ^Getting Old¥

Penn Yan—On his 90th birthday today, Charles W. Kimball, believed to be New York St&te’s oldest practicing attorney, laughed off his long service as a member of the bar by explaining that “most attorneys know enough to quit before they reach my age.

It w as business as usual a t his ! Lown B uilding office that he

shares w ith Police Justice Maurice W. McCann.

A t noon, however, he planned to take tim e off to attend a lunch­eon in his honor given by fellow m em bers of the Yates County Bar A ssociation in the .Wagner Hotel.

A sked yesterday by John J. Hyland, association president, if he would like to have him call for him at his home in a car, the veteran attorney said he’d ‘‘Come by foot,” explain ing that his Court S tiee t home was not far away.

Active for his age, Mr. Kim ball adm itted yesterday that ‘‘little th ings happen from day to day that make me think I ’m gettin g o ld .”

1 H e stepped along as fast as any- i one, however, two w eeks ago when f he marched in cap and gown as I a trustee in the academ ic pro- I cession th at opened K euka Col- I lege’s sem i-centennial celebration

of its founding.Born in Chester, N. H ., on Oct.

26, 1847, he earned enough money in his boyhood to finance his own

i education. A fter attending D art­mouth for two years, he trans-

; ferred to Harvard, graduating in , the class of 1S71 along with H enry ' Cabot Lodge.

After teacning school for two years, he was adm itted to the bar in 1874—‘‘the requirements w eren’t so stringent then,” he commented. He practiced law in New York for 12 years making his hom e in Plainfield, N. J., and holding mem-

From the Jam estow n Jouraal.~\Lines supposed to be written by tbe D em ony IV

ly at ibu close of the Albany Aati-Mssonic CAvent'iou,

I I was monarch of all I survey’d.My right there was none to dispute;

In ihe midst of the lodge I dispkiyed 'i'he follies liiat made manu brute.

0 mu.sonry I where are the charms,I 'h a t sages have seen in thy face ?

And vidiy have their bcqgiil -Made thoiTsaftds ‘fSrsaRe ttiy embrace' f

1 am full in niy enem y’s reach,,4nd .shake on my tottering throne;

Nor saved by tiiat beauty oCspeeeh,The sw eet thriiiing word JMuh-hah-bopc,

The people that niourn O’er ihftiCslain, ‘ '*My acta with intelligence see;

They have so well discovered my plan,Their tauntings are arrows to me.

O 1 impudence, nonsense and lies,So otten imposed upon man.

So SiWitdy int'ellignico That 1 ne’er can enjoy you again J

My sorrows no more 1 assuage fly perverting religion and truth;

And sneering the wisdom of age.Rejoice in the folly of youth,

O Jachin! what treasure ur.ioJd Resides in that powerful word !

Commanding the silver and gold.And all that the world can afford.

But the noise of the thrice sounding stroke,In vain gives the friendly alarm;

For the fetters of slavery are broke.And the world has awoke from the charm.

9 T

Is 80 Years Old Thanksgiving Day

The world that has made me Its spdrt, Conveys to my desolate breast,

No cordial endearing report,Nor.tidings of much needed rest.

M yfoiiner friends now and then send An arrow of truth to my soul:

Vile fate ! that would give me a friend, W hose actions I could not control

I doubt if I have had 15 days vaca­tion in the past 15 years, says Mr. Havens. I have given all of m y time to it, and I shall alw ays be vita lly in­terested in the cem etery. But my present fa iling health has made me feel compelled to withdraw. Mr. H av­ens paid tribute to the great help of his w ife w hose care of the office work, in addition to her housekeep­ing, enabled him to spend much longer days on the grounds.

A LAWYER FOR 65 YEARSAttorney on 87th Birthday Has

No Thought of Retiring

SENECA FALLS, N. Y. (A’).—Al­though he has just observed his eighty-seventh birthday, George Willers Pontius, dean of the Seneca County bar and one of the oldest practicing attorneys in New York State, never gives a thought to re­tirement.

“They say you’re just as old as you feel,” he told fellow-attorneys at a party given for him, “and I ’m still just a young fellow.”

Mr. Pontius has practiced law continuously for sixty-five years in this Central New York village and believes the best way he can enjoy life is to keep right on with his work. Only a few years ago he was offered the Democratic nomination for Seneca County Judge, but de­clined.

ateealb-i-is3t3,7'ts;e:kit'.r.si-

The Oxford U niversity P ress has ju s t issued a small volume of little more th an two hundred pages consisting of selections from Boswell’s “Life of Sam ­uel Johnson.” R. W. Chapman is the editor. I t is ra th e r u n fo rtu n a te th a t there should be any necessity fo r abridg ing Boswell, even though the life contains more th an half a million words. F or our p a r t, we have always fe lt th a t the m ost casual read er could get a lot of fun out of Boswell, w ith a little ju ­dicious skipping. We have no t the stam ina ourself to get very fa r into a fo rbidding book, bu t Boswell never gave u s any tro u b le . We deny ve­hem ently th a t i t is in any sfense a dull book.

But, since i t has un ju stly acquired a certa in fam e as w eighty lite ra tu re , and sinCe its very bulk may frig h ten all bu t the m ost venturesom e, Mr. Chap- | man has perform ed a usefu l service, ^ven though no such b rie f book can begin to give all th a t is d iverting in Boswell’s “Johnson.” In his preface Mr. C hapm an say s: “I f any apology is required fo r m aking a selection from £ work in its n a tu re discontinuous, th^ au tho rity m ay be cited of Johnson him-j self, who w as a t f irs t an g ry w ith Bishop H urd fo r publishing a m utilated Cowley, bu t, a fte rw ard relen ting , a l­lowed th a t ‘there is no im propriety in a m an’s publishing as much as he chooses of any au tho r, if he does no t pu t the re s t ou t of the w ay.’ ”

P erhaps some who have never read the life en tire m ay come upon Mr. C hapm an’s little book, and read ing the account of the m eeting of D r. Johnson and John W ilkes, o r his le tte r to Ches­terfield, m ay be tem pted to wade into the big book and find some of the treasu res which the ed ito r had omitted. I t is in the Chesterfield le tte r th a t the fam ous line occurs, “ Is no t a P a tro n , my Lord, one who looks w ith unconcern on a m an strugg ling fo r life in the w ater, and, when he has reached ground, encumbers him w ith help ?”

I Mr. Chapm an has purposely om itted some of the best known Johnsonian repartee fo r fe a r th a t his little hook

i will seem no m ore th an a collection of I humorous sayings, b u t he has no t passed 1 by such old favorites as, “ S ir, a wom an’s

Mr. C hapm an, jh e soundest so rt of ad ­vice fo r all those who a re minded for the f irs t tim e to m ake read ing an in te rest. Johnson said:

“I am 'a lw a y s fo r g e ttin g a boy fo r­w ard in his learn in g ; fo r th a t is a sure good. I would le t him a t first read any E nglish book which happens to en­gage his a tten tio n ; because you have done a g re a t deal when you have

brough t him to have en te rta in m en t from a booH. H e’ll g e t b e tte r books a f te r ­w ard .”

T here’s no question th a t m any a boy’s, and sometimes a m an’s, ta s te for read ing has been u tte r ly ruined by somebody’s te lling him, “ Now you m ust read this. I t ’s a duty .” And, as often as not, the conscientious person goes through the book w ith such terrific labor and suffering th a t, the task accom­plished, he resolves never to ge t off the sporting page again .

On the o th er hand, a read er m ust take certa in chances. Who could po5.si- bly tell by m erely considering the title th a t W. H. H udson’s “The Book of a N a tu ra lis t” was one of the m ost en ­te rta in in g volumes of sh o rt sketches ever w ritte n ?

We tru s t th a t The T ribune’s money back gu aran tee does no t apply to ad ­vice given in th is column. There is only one book in all the w orld which m ay be safely se t in to the hands of anybody w ithout fe a r th a t he will come back la te r w ith reproaches. And, of course, th a t book is “H uckleberry F in n .”

W e don’t feel quite as certa in as all th a t of “ Conrad in Q uest of His Y outh,” hu t we would feel little rem orse if an y ­body who read i t a t our u rg in g failed to enjoy it, fo r our opinion of such a p e r­son would enable us to h ea r of his d is­appointm ent, boredom, anguish o r w hat no t as a m a tte r of the u tm ost indiffer­ence.

We w ere pleased to le a m th is a f te r ­noon th a t the rom antic conception of th e life of a new spaper m an is n o t y e tdead, fo r we received a le tte r in which

preaching is like a dog’s w alking on | the w rite r b eg a n :his h inder legs. I t is no t done well; b u t you are suiTirised to find i t done a t

“H ave you a vale t who is w illing to share w ith you the ups and downs of

all,” and “W hy, sir, sh erry is dull, fo rtune , one who is w illing to pick n a tu ra lly dull; bu t i t m ust have tak en up the crum bs of prosperous days and him a g re a t deal of pains to become capable of inven ting expedients to keep w hat we now see him. Such an excess up appearances in the house of poverty ? of stup id ity , s ir, is no t in N atu re ,” as is he one whose constan t though t is how well as “ Much .m ay be made of a he can best serve your in te res ts , even Scotchman, if he can be caught young.” if you require th a t service all day as

There is also som ething of Johnson well as all n igh t, so long as i t is help- in his unconsciously humorous moments ing to m ake your m any duties lig h te r? ”as in the records:

scene of which Boswel U n fo rtu n a te ly , we have no job a t our I disposal, since we long ago ceased try in g

“He seemed to tak e a pleasure ir speaking in his own sty le; fo r when h had carelessly missed it, he would re

to keep up appearances, b u t any o ther new spaper m an who is anxious to get in touch w ith the p erfec t va le t may have

peat the though t tran sla ted into i t name and address fo r the asking. Talking of the comedy of ‘The R ehear­sal,’ he said, ‘I t has no t w it enough to keep i t sweet.’ This was easy; he therefo re caught himself, and p ro­nounced a m ore round sen tence: ‘I thas no t v ita lity enough to preserve it from pu tre fac tion .’ ”

There is in one passage selected by

O ut of th e recently explored secrets of th e ebony chest, w hich Boswell m en ­tioned In h is will, have come docum ents th a t s tu d en ts of Boswell and Johnson have described as “m ost m agnificen t.” They include th e en tire m an u sc rip t of Boswell’s “A ccount of Corsica,” le tte rs from Boswell to W illiam P itt , th e elder, who was la te r th e Earl of C hatham ; le tte rs from Boswell to Johnson , ^,Ed- rnund Burke, E dm und M alone and W il­liam Temple, w ith replies to m ost of the correspondence; Boswell’s le tte rs to l.'ls wife, a collection described by the! new owner as “m agnificen t” : le tte rs to; his sons and “m u ch o th e r fam ily cor­respondence”; le tte rs from "Voltaire and Rosseau to Boswell, a le tte r from R obert B urns expressing h is h ig h est sen tim en ts of Boswell, two le tte rs from Oliver G oldsm ith to Boswell, and Boswell’s ac­counts of h is conversations w ith David Hum e and Mrs. Rudd.

Describes Visit to V oltaireAmong th e collection is a le tte r w rit­

ten by Boswell u p o n h is visit to Vol­ta ire ’s C hateau de Ferney. T his m a n u ­script, an e igh t-page folio le tte r. Colo­nel Isham described as “unquestionab ly th e g reatest Boswell le tte r ever w rit­ten .” In i t he describes in “m agnificent d e ta il” h is visit to Voltaire a*»d h is in ­terviews w ith th e grea t P rendhm an.

The collection also con ta ins th e m anuscrip ts oi p o e n s by botlr Johnson and G oldsm ith. Colonel Isham is cer­ta in th a t th e Johnson poem has never been published, and he has never seen th e G oldsm ith verse in p rin t. The Johnson poem he calls th e work of a young m an because of th e ch a rac ter ol th e handw riting . I t places th e verse as an early a ttem p t.

Of especial value, too, is th e m a n u ­scrip t of "A ccount of Corsica” because th a t of h is “Life of Jo h n so n ” is de­stroyed, except for th ir ty pages in a poor s ta te of preservation . These were foun I, w ith m any o th e r Boswell m a n u ­scripts, in a lum ber room in th e old A uchlnlach Castle of Boswell in Scot­land. A boxful of papers fell in to dust w hen they were first touched and only th ir ty pages of th e “Life of Jo h n so n ’ were preserved. These are am ong Colo­nel Ish am ’s collection.

The en tire m an u sc rip t of “A ccount of Corsica” is in th e h an d w ritin g of Boswell, and h is care and cau tio n is shown by th e fac t th a t he drew up th e title page him self.

ICollection Not for Sale j

The collection is n o t for sale. Col- ' onel Isham Induced Lord T albo t to sell j th e collection only because th e orig inal owner fe lt th a t in th e U nited S ta tes ' the docum ents could be b e tte r edited and pub lished th a n if they rem ained In Ireland . I t has tak en th ree years of nego tia tion before th e papers could be tran sfe rred to th is coun try , b u t they

come here in ta c t and th e owner is de­term ined th a t so long as he lives they will never leave h is lib ra r" .

“I can ’t te ll you w hat I paid for them . I prom ised th a t I w ou ldn’t ,” he said. "B ut I was ready to m ortgage every­th in g I owned to get them , and Mrs. Isham was in agreem ent w ith me. As i t is, I d o n ’t w an t to see m y ta ilo r for some tim e. I live a t G len Head now, b u t I m ay have to sell my house in order to keep th e m anuscrip ts . And th a t I would do gladly were i t neces­sary.”

Farmer Commits Suicide

The first lighthouse keeper Lake Keuka ever had lived in the residence at the mouth of the outlet pictured in the Burnell Studio announcement on page 9 this week. Tom Harrison watched over the beacon which marked the channel entrance, but found plenty of time to enjoy his favorite sport of fishing. A glance at the picture at once labels it as one having been taken in days of steamboat traffic for Tom’s front lawn is cluttered with, billboards such 1 as would be found along the state roads today. One advertise.s the Fair, another Boots and Shoes, while a ' third would centainly mention Tom’s own business - - “Minnows For Sale”. The sound of the bull frogs in the marsh across the outlet w as so im ­pressive that Tom once contracted with a New York hotel to furnish it with six or more dozen frogs’ legs at a time. He managed to fill the first order or two but soon learned that one enthusiastic frog can make noise enough to sound like a dozen, so he cancelled his contract. The ice house of the Lake Keuka Ice com­pany now stands about where this residence was once located. In the days of the Crooked Lake canal, the towpath ran along the bank in front of his house.

Grumiblings frequently are heard concerning postal service, but the last and best “antidote” to that form of “phobia,” is the story of a post­card sent from Syria by Dr. G. K. Leader to E. J.

“E. J.P. Y.N. Y.U. S. A.”

and the card reached the Penn Yan man in sam e m ail with other cardis addressed from the same station and with regulation address.

To the E d i t o r of The R e p u b l i c a n :—

The life in su rance and sav ings bank g roups of investo rs in Chicago & N orthw estern railw ay secu rities have .lust asked th e In te rs ta te Com ­m erce com m ission to ru le th a t the com m on and p refe rred stocks of th e ra ilroad have no value.

W ithin a few weeks, an ICC ex­am in er appra ised th e asse ts of C hi­cago & N o rth w este rn a t $590,000,000. On th a t basis, each sh a re of p re ­ferred stock rep resen ts $7.5# of a s ­se ts ; now selling a t $4 per share. The w orst year N o rth w este rn ever had. 1932, its n e t deficit was $11,000,- 000. The gross business of th a t year was alm ost precisely w h a t it had been in 1913; but, if th e ra te s of pay had been in effect in 1932 th a t had prevailed in 1913, th e com pany’s n e t would have been $22,000,000 g re a te r th a n it was. T h a t is, in such event, .so fa r from e a rn in g a deficit of $11,- 000,000 in 1932, th e com pany would have paid all in te rest, 7 per cen t on th e p re fe rred and 5 per cen t on th e common.

The ro ad ’s g en era l m ortgage bonds j a re secured by a first lien on n early 5000 m iles of road, m ostly m ain line. The to ta l issue o u ts tan d in g would not suffice to rep lace th e ro lling stock now in use on th e sy.stem; and these bonds a re now selling a t abo u t 15 cen ts on a dollar. So la te as 1929, the p roperty eaimed all charges, 79 per cen t on th e p re fe ired , and n e a r ­ly 9 per cen t on th e common.

F or 1937, U nion Pacific 's gross fre ig h t busine.ss was alm ost exactly tb e sam e as th a t for 1927; bu t the am o u n t received for th e 1937 busi­ness wa® over $27,000,000 less th an was received for th e 1927, and th is difference was eq u iva len t to m ore th a n 13 per cen t on th e common, over and above th e 6 peV cen t divi­dend barely earned and paid partlv by scan tin g m ain tenance. The tw o roads m entioned a re n o t exceptions bu t typical.

A sh o rt while ago, J. J. Pelley. head of th e A m erican A ssociation of R ail­roads, s ta te d th a t sh ip p ers a re pay ing the ra ilroads m ore th an a billion dol­la rs per annum less th a n th ey paid in 1921. H ere in is diagnosed beyond cavil th e m orta l disease afflicting th e rails. B etw ix t th e exactions of the sh ippers and the unions th e ra ilro ad s have been ground alm ost litei-ally to pow der; yet they a re g iv ing the pub ­lic fa r b e tte r serv ice th a n ever.

To be sure, a m ajo r desidera tum for th e ra ils is a re tu rn to ‘‘norm alcy." B ut even if th e ir traffic w ere to a t ­ta in th e dim ensions of 1929, th e gro.ss re tu rn in ca.se of one p roperty would be abo u t 25 per cen t le.ss; in th ree o th e r cases ab o u t 20 per cen t less, and in m any o thers from 10 to 20 less,

P 'igures a re cav ia r to th e general. Few realize th a t th e av erag e ton-m ile ra il ra te is only one cen t o r less, on w hich basis a tw o-ton load from th e B a tte ry to H arlem would pay a tru ck abou t 25 cen ts ; from New York to P h iladelph ia ab o u t $1.80. Both sh ip p ers and unions, h ighly o r­ganized and obstreperous, have been insatiable. I f fre igh t w ere ac tually carried for n o th in g ; if a s ix -h o u r day were inau g u ra ted , would e ith e r cease from th re a te n in g and dem anding?

Over and again, th e ICC has a s ­severa ted tiia t as a whole th e ra ils are no t overcapita lized ; qu ite the contrar.\'. Talk of overcap ita liza tion is m ostly purposive and guileful. .Al­legations th a t th e ir troubles a re la rge-

(h« sam e categrory. Com petent a u th or­ities have reckonod the ton-m ile cost of truck operation at never less than three cents and usually much higher, up to 10 cents. Practically all the truck business is less than carload and 70 per cent of it carried lessthan 100 m iles. There is no profit in such traffic for the Kiilroads; w it-

I ness, for exam ple, Central of New ' Jersey, with an average density of2,500,000 ton-m iles per m ile of road, a ton-m ile rate of I I2 cents, and a haul of 75 m iles. The 5 per centbonds of th is road once sold above 140; now around 20.

Agitation to "put the rails through the wi-inger” has a variegated m otiva ­tion. the w ish being m ostly father to the thought. For one thing, the fru i­tion of that proposal would save the face of the ICC, w hose policies have all but run the railroads into theground. For another, it would, for /the adm inistration, avoid som e polit­ical repercussions inherent in hori­

zontal rate increases necessitated by a 59-cent dollar, that has already boosted the average price level of rail supplies by som eth ing like 40 per cent. If severe inflation is in the

offing, as m any prognosticate and apprehend, the c lass 1 rail properties

j that will survive can probably be [numbered on one’s fingers. For w ith the ICC obsessed w ith a sort of rail- phobia, as it seem ingly is. it is as likely that rates will continue to be pared as th at they will be increased com m ensurably with inflation of com ­m odity prices.

notes in the edition of James Boswells THE LIFE OF SAMUEL JOHNSON, LL.D., in three volumes, which has just been sent by the Limited Editions Club to its for­tunate subscribers. Typographically, it is very satisfying. Designed by

’Oliver Simon it has been printed ri 1,500 copies) by the Curwen Press, London, in a monotype modern ver­sion of Baskerville type, upon rag paper made by John Dickinson, bound in green-brown buckram with red labels lettered in gold. The vol­umes are tall (pages 6Vsx9%), open readily and lie flat in the hand, and have wide outside margins to ac­commodate thft feature of this edi­tion.

T hai a series of m ar­ginal comments reproduced from two copies of the book annotated by Hester Lynch Thrale Piozzi. One of the copies was of the fifth edi­tion (1807), and is now owned by Ralph H. Isham. The other was of the eighth (1916), formerly owned by Amy Lowell and bequeathed by her to Harvard, where it is a part of the Amy Lowell Collection of Books and Manuscripts. The Liniited Editions Club has followed the text of the eighth edition, incorporating the notes of Mrs. Piozzi in both the copies she had. The Isham notes number about 450, the Harvard about 475, and, in addition, there are in the two about 1,100 markings and underscorings, here reproduced. Some few of the marginalia have been printed before in various scattered books and journals. They are now all brought together under the scrupulous editing of Edward G. Fletcher, of the University of Texas, who has written a useful introduc­tion on the relations of Johnson, Boswell and the Thrales.

M rs. P io z z i A n sw e rs B ack Turn to what Mrs. Piozzi has to

say about what Boswell has to say about her first husband, for ex­ample. Boswell referred to Thrale’s manners as those of "a plain inde­pendent English squire.” Mrs. Piozzi wrote in the margin: "No, no; Mr. Thrale’s manners presented the character of a gay man of the town; like Millamant in Congreve’s comedy, he abhorred the country and every­thing in it.” Or to Boswell’s report of something he says Johnson said to Mrs. Thrale on April 1, 1781. Ac­cording to Boswell, Johnson accused ner of praising people so highly that she did them harm; in particular, William Weller Pepys. “You praised th a t man with such disproportion th a t I was incited to lessen him, perhaps more than he deserves. His blood is 'upon your head.” Mrs. Piozzi wrote about this last sentence in the Harvard copy: "Expression he would not have used—no, not for worlds.” And in the Isham copy: "An expression Dr. Johnson would not have taken £100 to have used.” I t is somewhat interesting to note tha t when Boswell quotes Johnson as saying of her: "Sir, she has done everything wrong since Thrale’s bridle was off her neck,” Mrs. Piozzi makes no comment in the margin.

Or run through the three new volumes taking Mrs. Piozzi’s notes as they come. In one of them: "I have heard Hogarth speak of John­son when I was a child; and I recol­lect his saying ‘that man not, only believes in the Bible but I think he believes nothing tha t is not in the Bible.’ I told Doctor Johnson that he said so. and Johnson lancrhpd.”

Boswell gives as serious the famous explanation to Garrick why John­son would no longer go behind the

,scenes a t the theater: "the silk (stockings and white bosoms of your ■actresses excite my amorous pro­pensities.” Mrs. F/izzi comments: "Apparently said in jcst by Johnson, and certainly related in jest by Gar­rick.” (By the way, the Boswell papers in the possession of Colonel Isham are said to show that John­son said something a good deal more specific about the effect of the ac­tresses upon him, and tha t Boswell bowdlerized his hero.)

M rs . P i o z z i on B osw ell "W hat a man Boswell is!” Mrs.

Thrale says a t one point, "to whnm friend and foe are alike entertain­ing . . . and who delights in the ridicule as in the applause of those he pretends to admire.” And again: “Bozzy was like a man in Mrs. Inch- • bald’s comedies—I forget his name 1 —who brings people together for his 1 own sport, and they sometimes quarrel; but make it up so often '< that he is at length happily per­suaded of hi own benevolence.” And yet another time she tells something which Johnson said to her about Boswell: "T have been put so to the question by Bozzy this morning,’ said Dr. Johnson one day, ‘that I am now panting for breath.’ ‘W hat sort of questions did he ask,I w’onder?’ ‘Why, one question was: Pray, sir, cah you tell why an apple is round and a pear pointed? Would not such talk make a man hang himself?’ ”

Boswell accused Mrs. Piozzi of misrepresenting Johnson by sajdng he threatened to blackball Garrick if he were proposed for membership to the club, on the ground that he . was an actor and consequently of inferior social rank. Mrs. Piozzi in­sists: "He did say so, and Mr. Thrale stood aghast.” "They were his very words.” Boswell had his informa­tion from Sir Joshua Reynolds. Mrs. Thrale had herself heard Johnson on the subject. In a note on a letter from Johnson in which he speaks of Reynolds as using too much strong liquor, Mrs, Piozzi says: "Johnson always fancied all the men were drunk who drank any­thing but water,” It was not true, she comments, tha t she improved Johnson’s habits of dress. "No, truly —it was Mr. Thrale and not his wife who attempted such corrections. He would no more have suffered me to have chosen his coat than the very youngest of my children.”

On Johnson and Others < Mrs. Piozzi thought it was of the

Rev, Mr. Mence tha t Johnson said, in Boswell, "he has the most in­verted understanding of any man whom I have ever known.” She had heard him say something more graphic: "Sir, Mence is a man who should be stuck upon a pole, and a large writing under him, to say ‘Do nothing as Mence does.’” "John­son told me that Richardson would not till very late make an index for Grandison, because it would have destroyed the suspense of his read­ers by showing them which lady ob­tained his hero . . . without reading the book to the end.” As to Baretti’s story, told by Boswell, of Mrs. Thrale’s remark to Johnson during a supper of larks, she says emphatically: “Mrs. Thrale never saw a supper in those days, never ate a larke in England; and dared as well have swallowed the lark

Dear Editor:A “Washington dispatch’’ describing an alleged com­

promise in the Teton Park extension tangle calls for comment:

Its assertion that “much of the opposition has de­veloped among sportsmen” is scarcely a statement of fact. No important or classifiable interest in Wyoming appears to favor any extension whatsoever.

The “dispatch” implies that some arrangem ent is con­templated whereby lands taken under NPS jurisdiction will still be subject to local taxation or that Teton County will be reimbursed for their loss. The most positive as­surances have been given to me by competent authority that no relief ivhatever along those lines will be afforded Teton County.

“The “dispatch” holds out the bait that an enabling act will stipulate that no further park extensions will be asked for in this region. Such promises are absolutely ivorth- less. Senator Norbeck, when here in 1930, discussed with me that very point and declared emphatically and tru th ­fully that “No Congress can bind another Congress.’’ No­body can sue or enjoin Congress; it is a law unto itself.

Wyoming’s mineral resources are rapidly being ex­hausted. Arable lands are a small fraction. It is not cer­tain hoiv long the livestock industiy ivill persist. Manu­facturing is a very remote possibility. W hat then, is to be the basis of the state’s survival as a going concern, if not the tourist business?

In its resources in game, scenery and hot water dis­play Northwestern Wyoming is one of the most valuable assets of the state. Switzerland is not, on the wdiole, to be compared with it, yet the Swiss derive an annual in­come of around one hundred millions from the tourist business. Every Swiss lake, and valley and village has its hotels and resorts. Why not in Jackson Hole? Rocky Mountain National Park has hundreds.

The natural and only feasible site of such tourist and resort development is along the foot of the Tetons, out­side of the existing park boundaries, and west of the Snake. Antelope Flats, eastward, is a hopeless, waterless sage-brush desert, cut off from the Tetons by the Snake river canyon. Aside from these two areas, there is no place for the tourist resorts within easy reach of the Tetons or even in sight of them; and one of these two, as noted, is a desert, and the other is to be inside a national park, to build a hotel or summer home in which would be akin to sacrilege.

In short, under the “compromise” proposed a tourist will have no place to lay his head between Jackson and Montana except under a concessionaire’s roof. In Yellow­stone Park, minimum hotel charges are $7, $8, and $9 per person per day. It was testified before Senator Nye’s committee of 1933, in Jackson, that all the concessions within this proposed extension had already lieen promised to Harold Fabian, Rockefellei*’s attorney. Call this sort of a setup a “compromise” ? It is abject surrender and gross betrayal. For what? To enable Rockefeller to let go of his sack, without the slightest compensatory return to Wyoming or Teton County, but rather immense and

W e would willingly, moreover, dispense w ith the vexatious brackets used to indicate the passages In th e first im ­pression of the D iary which w ere foolishly left out of the second im pression by Mrs. B axrett or her publisher. The resto ra tion of these pas­sages was highly desirable; the b rackets are finical and unnecessary, a nuisance to the reader and a disfignirement of the fa ir page.

We are carried in the eaxlier s tag e of th is edition through the m ost Im portan t p a r t of Fanny Burney’s life—the years of her girlhood immediately succeeding her secret publication of the most successful novel of her day. “E velina” appeared in 1778, and in th is portion of her Diary and in various in tim ate epistles she set down for the eyes of her nearest and dearest the narrative of her experiences as a lioness In the society which—in sp ite of her agony of modesty—soon discovered her au thorsh ip . I t Is difficult in these days of candid exploitation to understand little F an n y ’s te rro r a t the pros­pect of openly receiving fam e and com plim ent, but the terror was genuine. She w as now and again literally sick w ith apprehension, and du r­ing the early days of her visits to Mrs. Thrale, the rich brewer’s literary wife, she was contin­ually in the a ttitu d e of a F rag o n ard cupid— poised for flight from curious questioning and adm iring com m ent “M odesty w ith her," said the august Dr. Samuel Johnson of his “dear little Burney” and her book, “is n e ither pretence nor decorum; ’tis an ingredient of her n a tu re ; for she who could p a rt w ith such a w ork for £20 could know so little of its w orth or of her own as to leave no possible doubt of h e r humility.” Surely no o ther young wom an ever lived who so dreaded to h ea r herself p raised or who accepted ju s t criticism In so sunny and trustful a spirit. The m ost endearing episode recorded In Fanny^s p rivate le tte rs Is her sor­rowful but childlike yielding to the decision of her father and her old friend, D addy (Jrisp, th a t her second work—“T he W itlings,” a comedy— was not to see the light. “D ear little B um ey,” indeed, would have been wise if she had left to the world only “Evelina" and th is delightful Diary. The Judicious Crisp knew the evil con-

equence of dwefiing upon the gu inea and of taking a dreary ta sk of w hat should be an irre istlble joy. “Don’t ta lk of h a rd fagging, e n-ote to Fanny. “I t was no t hard fagging th a t roduced such a work as ‘E velina’!—it w as e Dullition of true sterling g en lu s-y o u w rote i t ecause you could not help i t - i t cam e and so ou put it down on paper, . . . ’Tis not s itting own to a desk with pen, ink and paper th a t wiU ommand inspiration.” This is doctrine w h,r

Red Phalarope .DiscoveredWith Other Beautiful Spe­cies Feeding On W estBranch Marsh Land

Verdi B u rtch

The last week in September the edge of the cat-tails, the ex­posed muddy shore, and the harbor at Branchport was a most interesting place to one inter­ested in feathered wildlife. A flock of nine coots with a single Florida gallinule could be seen every day feeding am ong the w ater weeds. In the shallow watei: am ong the w ater lilies and the w ater weeds several species o f wild ducks were dabbling. T h e y had not been disturbed and

. Mallards, black ducks, a few pairs of blue-wing teal and several wood ducks.

This latter, m o s t beautiful of all ducks have been more plentiful than usual this su m m er and fall, flocks of eight to 14 in the H ollister marsh and about the sam e at Branchpor*. The heavy, tall grow th of cat-ta m akes a good screen and enables to see them at close range. L» Sunday m orning a fine drake w as "displaying” before a plain little

' duck his head ruffled and crest d is­tended so it stood out from the bac of his head as far as h is bill did in front. I had never seen one do this before.

Such a din as th ey w ere m ak­ing! Large flock s passed over and around m e so c lose th a t I could fee l the sw ish o f their w in gs. I could see one o f m y traps, and in it w as a .sin­g le rusty th at w as a ttra c tin g others.I counted 15 birds w a lk in g around and over the trap. A m ale cowbird "di.splayed" before a fem ale , ru fflin g his fea th ers and sp read in g his w ings, uttered his pecu liar courtsh ip n otes strutted and fe ll forw ard on h s breast. The fem a le appeared to be m uch m ore in terested in th e birds in the trap.

Born in 1858, W illiam s has been a m em ber for m any years and says th a t the service received has been of m uch value to him , especially so in the last few y ea rs since the b u reau has received larger ap p ro p ria tio n s w hich has m ade it possible to give added iservice to the fa rm er.

W illiam s also is an a rd e n t G range m em ber, having jo ined th a t jorganization w hen it w as first Istarted in R ushville, in 1902, and iserved two years as the first m aster. Besides o th e r offices in the subordinate G range, he has served eight years as le c tu re r of Jo m o n a G range since becom ing a m em ber of th a t body, and is now se rv in g on the legislative com m ittee of the sam e order.

He alw ays has been in tere sted in the affairs of the tow n and tw ice was elected tow n superv iso r d u rin g the years 1886 and 87. Al­though he alw ays has been a staunch D em ocrat, and the Town of M iddlesex reg is te red a R epubli­can m ajority of 2-to-l, he w as elected to the first te rm by a safe. m ajority and the second te rm by an increased m ajo rity over the first election.

M em bers have be­come widely separated th ro u g h the lyears, yet W illiam s know s w here j each one lives and correjsponds I w ith them occassionally.

Asked about his view s of fa rm conditions, he sta ted th a t if fa rm ­ers would organize and stick to­g e th er they could easily get good prices for th e ir p roducts.

A brief illness with bronchitis claimed the life last Thursday of Mrs. Emily Pettibone, 95, one of Wau- pun’s oldest residents.

Although recovery from a broken hip is rare in a person past 90 years o f age, Mrs. Pettibone not only sur­vived such an accident last Novem­ber, but the bone had knit, physicians told the family, and but for her lack of strength Mrs. Pettibone might have been expected to walk before long. She was ill only a short time before her death last Thursday eve­ning.

Funeral services were held Satur­day from the home with the Rev. Arthur Johnson officiating. Mrs. Clif­ton Stack and Mrs. Johnson sang at the services. Mrs. Pettibone had been a member of the Woman’s Relief corps and of the Ladies of the G. A. R. and members of these organiza­tions attended the services in a body, as did the Auxiliary to the Sons of Union Veterans. Mrs. Pettibone was also a member of the Methodist church.

Bom July 25, 1841, in Springhill, Pa., Emily Maria Brown was one of the 10 children of Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Brown. When she was about 8 years old she came to Wisconsin with her parents, who settled at Prairieville (now Waukesha). Not long after that the family moved to Juneau where it remained for many years.

On May 26, 1865, just at the close of the Civil war, she was married to C. A. Pettibone. They celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary not long before Mr. Pettibone’s death about 10 years ago. Mrs. Pettibone lived in Waupun about 33 years. When her | husband retired from his work in Juneau they came to this city, where he was translator for the prison for sometime.

Surviving Mrs. Pettibone are two daughters and a son, Mrs. H. E. Tur­ner and S. A. Pettibone of Chicago, and Miss Alice Pettibone. She also leaves one sister, Mrs. Jennie Miller of Burlington, the last member of her family. One daughter, Mrs. W. A. Sanborn, and a son, D. C. Pettibone, have died. She also leaves five grand­children and five great grandchildren.

Pallbearers at the funeral Satur­day were 0 . A. Lueck, Louis Schultz,J. C. Breyer, R. E. Blpedel, Luther Smith, and William Gorehouse.

Those from away who attended the services were: Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Turner and Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Petti­bone of Chicago; Mrs. Jennie Miller of Burlington; Mrs. Byron Pond of Chicago; Mrs. B. L. Choate of White Bear, Minn.; Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Sanbom of Madison and Edwin San­born of Benton Harbor, Mich.; Charles, Carl, and Walter Warner of Milwau­kee; Mr. and Mrs. H. P. West, Miss Lulu Dunn, Miss Alice Bonnell, and Mrs. Effie Sheldon of Ripon; Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Hemmy, Miss Wanda Hemmy, Mrs. Al Ryder, Miss Bell Walther, and Miss Elizabeth Hemmy |M Juneau; Mrs. Frances Perkins of j Fond du Lac; and Ed Sanborn of Jef- I lerson.

before the deep snow cam e. Chief of these has been that friend of the farm er, the rough-legged hawk. This is one of the largest of the hawks w hose sum m er hom e is north of the U nited S tates. I t com es down here in fall and w inter and can be seen fly in g low/ over the fields or perched erect in a tree w atch in g for its favor­ite prey, the m ice th a t over run the fields. They m ust have very sharp ej/es as they hunt m uch in early m orning and la te even ing when the m ice are active. M any red-tails have been seen and Cooper’s and sharp- sh ins reported. For several days after the big snow a fem ale m arsh hawk coursed, fly in g low over the v illage and it m ust have reduced the starling population som ew hat. Several tim es I .saw it fly in g only ten or 15 fee t high down through m y back yard sca tter in g the starlings and sparrows.I did not see it catch one though one of the boys sa w it catch and fly aw ay v/ith a starling .

The W est nranch of the lake is still open though it has been frozen over tw ice and broke up a lm ost im m edi­a te ly . W e have had a n ice flock of ducks v a ry in g from one hundred to four or five hundred. A m erican m er­gan sers, scaups and b lacks are m ost num erous w ith m an y goldeneyes v/ith j a nice lo t o f can vasb ack s, and tv/o baldpates dropped in the 14th.

NOTED EDUCATOR DIES IN AUBURNServices Held for Dr. A. H. N orton , P resident-E m eritus of

Keuka College

I Friends and associates of the late Dr. A rthur H. Norton, beloved president-emeritus of Keuka Col-j lege, whose death occurred in Au-j burn, Sunday, m et at Keuka Col-i lege Tuesday afternoon at 3 o’clock to honor the memory of the man who was known and will be kindly remembered by the m ajority of the residents of this community as

I “Doc,” and who was great enough and big enough to prefer the simple things in life and to value friend­ship and kindliness above the fame: which came to him in his dignified position as a leading figure in the educational field.

DR. ARTHUR H. NORTON4 Taking part in paying tribute to a great man were representatives of several groups. The service was opened by Rev. John Bruce Alexan­der, student pastor at Keuka, with orayer and the vested choir of the college glee club sang the Twenty- hird Pslam, a favorite of the edu­cator who had passed on, and the ^salm was read a t his burial ser /ice Tuesday afternoon at his re

' quest.Guy E. Jackson, secretary of Milo

Lodge, No. 108, F. A. M., spoke in tribute to his fellow Mason. Percy A. Griffiths, Past President of Penn Yan Rotary Club, of which Dr. Nor­ton was an honorary member, said tha t to other members of the club,

. Dr. Norton was “just plain Doc,” z and tha t he had lived the motto of - the club: “Service above self.”

I F rank E. Monnin offered tribute for the Amercian Legion and stated

*' tha t “to the American Legion he was a buddy, who had seen service in the World W ar in the one way in which he could gain entrance to the

^ first line ranks, YMCA service.” At the close of his tribute, Legionnaire

3 Monnin stood at salute to his dead d comrade.^ Rev. R. N. Jessup brought the

regret at the passing and the trib- utes of affection of members of the*

? Ministers and Laymen’s Conference and B. C. Cate, principal of Cook

j Academy, Montour Fall.?, told of pleasant associations with Dr. Nor­ton while he taught at the school.

Dr. H. A. Hamilton,vice-president

r of Elmira College, »aiu maL xv. - “greatest m aterial monument to' ‘ Dr. Norton was Keuka College.” i Miss Marjorie Comstock, member of 1925 graduating class of Keuka, first class to graduate under the administration of Dr. Norton, and Mrs. Shirley McNulty, of the Class of 1926, brought honorary tribute

, from the alumnae of the college to the success of which Dr. Norton had devoted many years of his life Miss Rosemary Anderson repre sented the student body. Faculty and employes of the college were

' represented by Lester R. Loomis and Judge Harvey M. Remington, of Rochester, chairman of the board of trustees, told of his pleasant associations with Dr. Norton and brought a message of sympathy from Dr. Albert Beaven, of Colgate- Rochester Divinity School.

I “To succeed a man like Dr. Nor­ton at Keuka is both the greatest help and the greatest handicap,” ] Dr. Miller said in his message, and added also that “Dr. Norton had ) done more for Keuka College than any other person, living or dead.” i

I Rev. K. N. Conrad, of Keuka Park, personal friend of the late educator, arrived at the service late having returned late from Penn Yan where he officiated a t the last rites for Dr. Norton, as requested by Dr. Norton. He explained that thd ■ funeral rites were as simple as the J

daily life and wishes of the m an who stood out as great in a world

' of great men. Rev. Mr. Conrad read' a poem, “The Last Voyage” by Lizzie Clark Gray, which Dr. NorJ ton had asked to have read.

Miss Isabel Chase Nichols, head of the music department, presided a t the organ. '

Dr. Norton died Sunday morning at Auburn City Hospital following an extended illness. He helped to

\ found Keuka College for Women 18 years ago. He resigned as active head of the college in June, 1935. He once rem arked th a t his years of service a t Keuka were rfixteen of happy service “in an institu^ tion which is dearer than life itself to me.” He was first president of the college, accepting the presiden­cy from France where he was' serving as a YMCA secretary. He? often had been heard to say that he accepted the presidency of a coP iege that had no faculty, no stu-" dents and no charter. The college opened under his leadership irt 1921 with a pioneer class of 30 young women and he saw it grow into a high-ranking college, now recognized as one of the leading colleges for women in the country.

I Following his retirem ent as head ! of the institution, he continued to ! make his home in the college com-* munity at Keuka Park, moving

1 with Mrs. Norton to Auburn in i June, 1938. He had been in the Au- , burn hospital for some time and j his condition became grave a few weeks ago.

, Dr. Norton was born at Hartford,' (N. Y.) Dec. 9, 1870, son of Lyman and Cynthia Gates Norton. He was graduated from Syracuse University in 1899 with a degree of Bachelor of Science, and received his degree of Doctor of Pfriaproev in 1916 and his'

m aster’s degree from Colgate UnP i j versity in 1913. ' f

He began his career as an educa-* tor in a district school in 1891.'From 1900 to 1904, he was princi­pal of Mexico (N. Y).) Academy and for the next seven years was princi­pal of Cook Academy, Montour Falls. From 1911 to 1919, he occu­pied the chairs o f . astronomy and mathematics at Elmira College, serving as vice-president there for three years. From 1916 to 1919, he* also was director of the Elmirat School of Religious Education.

Preparatory to opening of Keuka College, sponsored by Northern Baptist Association, Dr. Norton made a survey of 76 schools and colleges in 1919 and 1920 as part of a “stocktaking” of religious facili­ties throughout the United States conducted by the Interchurch World Movement. He served in the World W ar as YMCA secretary with the 26th Division in France and his ability and courage won personal commendation from General John J. Pershing.

Following his formal appointment as head of Keuka, he was given two' years to study other colleges for women, to secure a competent fac-) ulty and to organize the college and when he opened it he had a class of 36 girls, a faculty of eight and the physical plant consisted of one college hall. Ball Memorial, and twc college houses. Since that time the physical assets of Keuka have in creased more than 500 per cent anc the institution is now recognized as a Grade A college. Milestones in Dr Norton’s efforts to make the col lege financially secure included th< gift of $100,000 from W. J. Richard son, Wellsville, for a dormitory $200,000 from John Rogers Hegc man for an administrative build ing; $100,000 from Mr. and Mrd W. A. Montgomery, Rochester, and presentation of The Lucina, by Mr: and Mrs. Edmund Ball for a hom^ for Keuka presidents as a memorial to Lucina Ball, and contribution oi $50,000 by Ball Brothers, of Muncie Indiana, for new water system. The student registration today number.* more than 200.

Dr. Norton was former preside.? of Baptist Missionary Convention a New York, Baptist Educationa Commission of New York and Na tional Education Association. He

’ took an active interest in Rotary, and was a past president and honor­ary member of Penn Yan Rotary Club. He was member, of Psi Upsi- lon and of the Masonic Lodge.

He leaves his wife, Susan Perlet Hurd, to whom he was married in July, 1902; three daughters, Mrs.Lloyd Benedict, Louisville, Ky.?Mrs. C. L. Williams, Auburn, and Mrs. Roger Killian, Naples, and an adopted son, Charles Hurd, of Ev­anston, Illinois, -J «H a;' o 6

Students’ “Who’s Who”

Yates will be one of nine South-* 'em Tier counties to have a one-*■ week deer hunting season, accord": ing to the Stokes bill adopted by New York Assembly. Passage of the bill is received with favor by sportsmen in the nine-county area,; who had thought that deer hunting

would be legal only in Adirondack- I Catskill area. Counties affected by i the new ruling will be Steuben,*- Broome, Chemung, Cortland, AL legany, Schuyler, Yates, season dates to be November 24-30 inclu/ sive, except the intervening Sun-< day. Hunters may use shotguns with one ball or slug.

Legislators had decided not to ' allow Southern Tier deer hunting this year unless a large block of counties desired the law, the rea-f* son being that if only one or twd counties were allowed a legalized ■

I period for deer-hunting, too many hunters centered in small territory | as was experienced last year. The nine-county block was arrange^ and dates for the season changed to make it close at the same time as the Adirondack-Catskill hunting.; The reason for the co-terminous, dates is to keep out many hunters), who, having failed to get a deer ini the Adirondack or Catskill Moun^, tains, would move into the South- , ern Tier for a second try. )

He will ba succeeded by Frederick W. Bier- wirth, vice-president of company, and manager of its Kearney, N. J., works. Henry C. Beal, now mana­ger of the apparatus and cable di­vision there, will become manager of the Kea’mev works July 1. Mr. Kennedy’s retirement closes a 40- year career with Western Electric. A Cornell engineering graduate of 1898, he entered the company ^ year later as a telephone engineer in New York at $10 per week. He* supervised the central office equip­ment engineering force in Chicago and for nine years headed the com­pany’s distributing house in Phila­delphia. In 1918 he became head of the merchandise organization at the Hawthorne Works in Chicago. For four years he had charge of en­gineering all the switchbord equip-' mnt made for the Bell System bv Western Electric. In 1926 he became head of the distributing department in the western half of the United States and a year later general tel­ephone sales manager, directing the nationwide distributing organi­zation through which the Bell tele­phone companies are furnished all of their supplies and materials.

Mr. Kennedy was born at Italy Hill, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Kennedy.

Closing of two Main Street stores' of Market Basket Corporation and opening a supermarket by that firm will mark one of the business' changes in the village within aj short time. The firm has leased the Parish building, garage in rear and the Self Service Store, Elm Street.

The two company stores to be discontinued will bej the one located next to Rapalee; Drug Store and the other next td Seward’s Candy Shop. Clinton Hob ley will be manager of the new su­perstore and Mrs. Holley, cashier. Lester Buckholtz, manager of the lower Market Basket store, will bq transferred to Twpns. j

WHEREAS, the Health Officer of the 'Village of Penn Yan has called to the attention of the Board ofi Health, that the disease of Nervous* Distemper is prevalent among some of the dogs of the village, and al­though the same does not appear to j be communicable to humans, that i :*t causes the dogs to be irritable and consequently a possible source of danger to the children and adults of the village;

Now, Therefore, the Board of j Health of the Village of Penn Yan takes official recognition of the condition and directs that all own­ers of dogs shall keep a careful ; check on health of their dogs and’ at the first sign of illness, see that^ the dog is examined by a competent: veterinary surgeon; |

Be It Further Resolved that any person finding a dog showing signs of illness shall notify Dr. Charles E. Stone, 206 Elm Street, Telephone; 4 5 7 , who is hereby designated as a representative of the Board of i Health, who shall take said dog in­to his possession and give it such care and treatment as, in his judg­ment, is necessary. Any dog so af­flicted may be destroyed, but the, owmers of all dogs bearing licenses | shall first be notified. }

The present church building at Friend, sometimes caUed “Shear­man’s Hollow”, was started in the late fall of 1888, finished and dedi­cated Feb. 24, 1889, Rev. Dr. Cal- der, of Free Baptist denomination preaching the dedication sermon. The windows were given by the Baptist Church at Dundee. Pews and pulpit were hand made. The* pla®ter was put on by the first pas­tor, Elder Miller. During the build­ing of the church Lorenzo Scho­field and Asahel Botsford walkedto Penn Yan to get nails whenthe roads were so bad they wouldn’t drive their horses over them.

For the first seven or eight years the church at Friend was' supplied by ministers of the Free Baptist denomination. Among them the following:

Merrit Miller, Chidsey Hill Frank Osborne, Keuka Park Rev. Mr. Brown, Potter Rev. Thomas A. Stevens, Keuka {

Park, who also held a revival meet-1 ing

Rev. Mr. Brockway, of Keuka Park

who rode horesback from Dundf in 1856 to preach in the Old Fort schoolhouse. And, according to Yates County records the “Old F o rt! Society” of the Methodist Episcopal Church was formed and incorpor­ated at a meeting in the Old Fort school house on Dec. 22, 1857, with Bartleson Sherman, Israel Com-1 slock and Nathaniel Keetch as trus­tees. Again we find from the same Yates County records that the Methodist Episcopal Society of Friend was formed at a meeting in the Friend church on August 31, 1898, and incorporation papers filed Sept. 6 1898.

H. G. Fitzwater and L. S. Turner, two members o l that newly organ ized Methodist Society, witnessed the paper of incorporation. The six',' trustees elected on Aug. 31, 1898 were: Delos Conley, George Smith, Frank Matteson, Edgar Cornellius Warren Davis, and Elizabeth Bots­ford.

We have already quoted from the minutes of the Central New York Conference regarding the Friend Methodist Church. Here are a few more interesting items from pre­siding elder’s and district superin­tendents’ annual reports. In 1902: “Think of little Friend with its farmer pastor caring for his 500 acres of land, now in his seventh or eighth year of work on that charge.” In several reports we find references to severe drouths, hard winters and other calamities of na­ture that have had an effect on the finances of the rural churches. In 1904, after referring to Ovid Church unanimously asking for the return of their pastor for the seventh year, ^oes on to say: “The church at

Reversing a former decree made by Yates County Judge and Surro­gate Gilbert H. Baker in Surrogate’s Court here, the Appellate Division, Fourth Department, has rendered its decision in the matter of the ju-, didal settlement of the accounts ofj Cornelius J. Sackett, as executor,, of Miss Emma B. Rapalee, deceas-j ed, involving promissory notes amounting to $6500 alleged to have

i been given by decedent to Mrs. j Margaret Stevenson and Nelson,

Jones, of Dundee. tNotice of the higher court’s re­

versal of the Yates County jurist’s decision given in a trial before him in surrogate’s court, states that the

' “decree was reversed on the facts and a new trial granted with costs | to the appellants oayable out of the estate to abide the event. Aooeal from the order dismissed without costs as academic. The decree dis­allows claims against the estate on promissory notes. The order denies a motion for a new trial.”

The original surrogate’s court trial and appeal to the appellate di- visio’i was made by Mrs. Stevenson and brother, Nelson Jones, follow­ing the rejection of the claims for the amounts of the notes against the estate of Miss Rapalee, a relative of the claimants. The notes were signed April 30, 1934, j

and Sept. 3, in the same year, Miss Rapalee died. The notes were pre-| sented as claims against the estate and reiected by the executor, Cor­nelius Sackett, Dundee, resulting in the ensuing trial before Surrogate Baker and appeal from his decision to appellate division. Judge Bak­er’s adverse decision disallowed both notes on the ground that there was no consideration for them.

The Board of Education of thrf Penn Yan Public Schools has jusfli issued the report of expenditures! for the past school year and has al- so presented the budget for the! 1939-1940 school year. The report! of expenditures shows that thrf budget was adhered to and that at the close of the year a balance of $437.92 was on hand.

During the past several monthiS the Board of Education has studied! very carefully the budget for thei next school year. Feeling that the economic situation of the communi­ty was such that a reduction in school taxes would be desirable^ the Board of Education cut to the bone the budget items for instruc­tional supplies, text books and in­structional apparatus and, in addiJ tion, reduced the salaries of alt school employees who were receiv- ing over $1500 a year. At the tim e this reduction of more than $7000 was made in the budget it was an­ticipated that the tax rate for the next school year would show a re­duction of more than $1 . 0 0 pei< thousand. Since that time the State legislature has reduced the state aid for schools by 10%. Inasmuch! as the Board of Education in planJ ning its economy budget had an­ticipated full state aid, the action of the legislature in reducing the state aid invalidated all the work for economy which the Board o f

! Education had done in reducing thrf local school budget.

The amount to be raised by tax-* es will be approximately $81,000,'

' whereas in the original budget be-> fore the cut in state aid the amount to be raised by taxes was approxi­mately $72,000.

The proposed budget for the nextl school year calls for expendiures of $179,425.52, broken up as follows:

Estimated ExpendituresGeneral Control ................$ 6,890.00Instructional service $96,075.00Operation of plant ........ 13,460.00Maintenance of plant 2,545.00Fixed charges .................... 7,800.00Auxiliary agencies ............ 7,253.00Debt service ........................ 41,597.52Capital outlay .................... 1,305.00

Penn Yan Fair " _____

Wednesday afternoon, Aug. 23, the first afternoon of the Penn Yan Fair for 1939, a series of events is being arranged by Ernest H. Cole, ! county agent for 4-H Clubs, and , William D. Allen, Yates County; ’arm bureau agent. The program' ] vill be put on by the farmers of ! he oounty, and will include hitch-’ ,

up races, bicycle races, wagmi roees and a running race for farm lorses. I

A. A. Abbott, fair secretary, plans, a window display of items pertain­ing to the Yates County Agricul­tural Society and is anxious thal| any person having articles connect­ed with the county fairs of the past to loan them for the display. Old catalogues, admission tickets, post­ers, newspaper clippings, old farnt tools, or any old or antique item! that would assist in presenting the long history of the agricultural sm * ciety. Articles may be left at Penn )

, Yan Farmers Supply, corner Sen­eca Street and Central Avenue at either the Chronicle-Express ofi Penn Yan Democrat newspaper oD fices.

\ Poles and fences v.dthin a radius of 50 miles of Penn Yan are being arrayed with signs announcing the Penn Yan Fair and its dates, Wed­nesday, Thursday and Friday. Aug. 23-24-25. when the annual agricul- , tural, industrial, educational and entertainment exhibit will be staged, \ under auspices of Yates County Agricultural Society. ‘

Fence signs are the fold-over type, four feet long, printed on both •sides so that they can be read by travelers on the crossroads as well as those on main highways. Print­ed in bright red on yellow back­ground, they are eye-arresting well as informative. A picture of an attractive m iss petting a cow add^ that rural touch needed for county fairs. Large letters announce the Fair’s 100th anniversary.

Signs affixed to poles have a yel- ! low background but black lettering.1 Window cards are made in twq types, one for village and one fori rural store display. They are gay in red, blue and vellow, with a race! track scene on the larger cards.

A large white street banner with red lettering will be placed acros. I Main Street at the Four Corners, permission for same having beeri granted by village board of trus­tees.

—“I am four score and five years old yet I am as strong this day as'I was in the day that Moses sent me: as m y strength was then, event so is my strength now, for war, for to go out and to come in.”—Joshua 14-11.

—Not many men nowadays can say this. The writer lacks 4 years' of being as old as Joshua was yet we cannot say we are as strong as Joshua was at his age. Our experi-

I ence with old age is quite the oppo- ' site. “80 years young” is a misnom­er. My advice to younger people is

I if you wish to enjoy yourself, do it inow and do not wait until you are {4 score years old. As you grow old,; your organs cease to function and about every day you have a new ache f»r pain somewhere. Old peo-

I pie are “set” in their ways and cannot get along with young peo­ple. Jim Smith used to say “Some

' people would have lived longer if they had died sooner.” I can recall my father and m yself when I was young. The first fertilizer came to town. Edward Carr sowed a sack in a strip of wheat across the flat from my home.You could see the ef­fects the year around. Will Savage was the agent for Bradley’s fertiliz­er and owned a fertilizer drill which he loaned to his customers. My father was up to Hickory Grove Farm and saw me tugging away at a 2 0 0 -pound sack of fertil izer. It now is put up in 100-pound sacks. He said, “If I had to use that stuff. I would throw up farm ­ing.” Since that time your corres­pondent has sold 1 0 0 tons of fertil- ; izer in one year. Nowadays any farmer who pretends to “farm it”

, sows fertilizer on every thing. Another circumstance:! had a neigh­bor whose son purchased a new 5- tooth Planet Jr., cultivator. I saw him and his father out in the corn­field one day having an argument. His father always had used a 3- tooth “thill” cultivator that went in­to the soil about 6 inches deep and cut off most of the roots of th«/ corn plant. I wonder what the old gentleman would say now to see a 14-year-old lad with a tractor and , cultivator combined, going down the ; field, taking from 2 to 4 rows at a time and doing a better job than you can do with a horse. We live in a changing world. I always have

, tried to look on the bright side of things but we do not know what to ■ think now. I heard Rev. Crossland ' of Asbury M. E. Church, of Roches- ; ter, say over the radio that we were , living in the most critical times in j a hundred years. What will happen to the good old USA in the next 10 . -Clears? Time will tell. '

RECALLS“GOOD OLD DAYS”

Harry Morgan Observes 71st Birthday By Working

To realize the changes that havei taken place in the barbering busD ness in 55 ,years one has only to look at a picture in the possession, of Harry P. Morgan, dean of Penh Yan barbers, showing his first shop, 45 years ago. '

Harry, who “celebrated” his 71st birthday Friday, Aug. 18, by arriv­ing at his barber shop in the Ar-

I cade Building, Main Street, at 7:30 , o ’clock and remaining there all day I until his birthday dinner at his East Main Street home at night,

; began his •barbering career five years more than a half a century

; ago in the 2-chair shop of Charles)' Hagerman, in the location now oc­cupied by the David Miller insur- ance agency in the Arcade, sam e building where Harry has his twQ( chair shop today. Ten years later,

, he w'ent in business for him self over the Main Street store now oc-

' cupied by Brov/n & Hopkins, in the shop of James Jennings, Morgan buying out the business.

In those days, Harry explained,, 95 pec cent of .all males visited the barber shop for shaving, and today t has turned compietelj" arounrf he other iway, with about 5 per; :ent getting shaves in the shops.

“Everybody had a mug in those lays,” Morgan said, “each man had L place in the racks especially made or that purpose, and each m ug

nad its owner’s name ;on it in or­nate gilt lettering, with brush, also. I’ve had as many as 300 shaving mugs in my shop in the old days, and it was the duty of the barber to see that each one was spotlessly clean and ‘sterilized’ with scalding water.”

Hot water was had by a special instant” hot water tank placed in,

proximity to the tall, chimney-likei stove in the center of the shop.. Trimming mustaches was a majop part of the barbering busii^ess inj the ‘gay 90s”, and the gentlemen wore luxuriant “lip-covering” with a finar dash given by twin «urls at the end of each side of the adorn­ment. “Nothing like the little ‘bats^ w ing’ arrangements which one sees toda>,” Morgan recalls.! * “When I was learning the trade pf Hagerman, the Penn Yan post W ice was in 'the Arcade Building, back w'here the town’s clerk’s of­fice is now. As each office in the Ibuilding was heated by coal stove, there was a long line of the old- fashioned wooden piano boXes along the walls, upstairs and down, hold­ing the coal supply for the individi ual office^,” Morgan relates, and chuckles away when he recalls one) man who found that his coal “bin”

s being depleted too sw iftly and decided that “someone iwas helping themselves to his coal.” About 8 o’clock each morning there was; great to-do in the halls wath ashpan- emptying and coal-carrying. So the* man who thought his coal was be­ing taken by “unknowm parties” arrived earlier than usual one morning and waited Jin his office} until the general hod-hustling be-< gan. Soon he heard a shovel grate along h is /“piano box” and like a( flash he was out of hfr. y

oangl he pushed the intruder into* tlie coal receptacle, slammed dow n tne cover ana fastened it. Quickly ne ootaimied a “witness” and then: lie leieased the cuiprit. “Some high­ly iniiammable language ensued out things quieted down after a) while,” the 71-year-old tonsorial ar­tist says.

Harry recalls that in his Maini Street upstairs shop he had a row" of advertising caids, placed along the top of the walls next ,to the ceilings, much as the oldtime trol­ley cars carried their business ad­vertising. The cards advertised all leading firms and “the income from these cards,” Morgan said, “paid my rent of $120 a year and $140 be­sides.”

Harry was born in Penn Yan, Aug. 18, 1868, son of Henry and Mary Von Volkenburg Morgan. With the exception of two winters pent in Florida, whfere he conduct- d a shop for his stay there, he has

ed in Penn Yan and worked at s trade. He watched the evolu­

tion of shaving (men’s faces from the days when some men were said to take a hasty shave at home “with a lantern for light,” and w itb a dull and oftentimes “nicked” razor, to the days of the electric,* safety razors and modernly equip­ped shops, with all kinds of per­fumed preparations and medica­tions for the face of the “tired busi­ness man.”

“How many faces have I shaved? iMight just as well ask me how many sands on the seashore. It’s impossible to estimate. In my 55 years at the trade. I’ve shaved* thousands of persons.”

Harry was born in i,ake Street, next house west of the Corcoran garage, but in those days, 71 years) ago. Lake Street was one of the ex ­clusive residential ('streets in tha village. In addition to being oldest in business in the village, he also( has the distinction of having own­ed one of the first motorcycles and one of the first automobiles in this/ community.

His first rrtotn-,'cycle was Glenn Curtiss model, and his first automo­bile, bought about 40 years ago, .,was a “one-lung” Holsman, made in Chicago, Illinois, and sold by a

i Rochester eqec'wv ■"'’'prry paid $1000 for the car, wmcn was a “horse­less carriage” in every respect. It

: was propelled by a small gasoline motor and when “let out” could travel 30 miles an hour. It had high, red-painted wooden wheels, .with spokes not much larger than carriage wheels, and its top was i black, same type as a horse-drawn buggy. It was entered the same as a buggy, and chugged along the country roads, oftentimes in sand 10 inches deep. “Of course all the horses were scared to death and

; reared and plunged around when- j ever they saw it,’ ’Harry says.i “But those were the lush days for th"" automobile owner,” smiles Hai’- ry. “no license required for driver and no license plates for the car. Gasoline 10 cents a gallon and even

“■though the car cost $ 1 0 0 0 it prac- , tically rah on its looks. No gas sta- tions either, then.”

I ■ ■ ■

■ The late Dr. John A. Conley also owned one of the same type cars as the Morgan “runabout.” Mor­gan recalls that there was anoth­er car of similar type on the mar­ket, costing about $350 but of in-

; ferior grade and workmanship

It is with rniich satisLction that wc pubhsii tlie communication of ' A Western Traveller’ which comes from an intelligent and authentic source, and we can vouch for the coi rcctness of the state­ments it contains. It cannot be disguised that this village, with all its adTanagc.®, has been spoken of abroad with unkind and slanderous remarks, origi- nating from some ridiculous newspaper waggery and a total ignorance of its situation and condition.

-■ Without eihibitiiig any local partialities for the ^ place of our reside.nce, we may with confidence

assert, there is no vilbge in the stale which com­mands a higher character for morality, temperance and generous benevolence and those numerous

^ observances which constitute the good order of so. ciety, than the village of Penn-Yan

In her political course the village as well as

empties in*o the Seneca Lake, and in the distance of six miles makes a fall o f 270 feet, pre.%eniing a greater practicable by- dirt'ilic power than any other stream, of the same extent, in the state. It is now eccupied by twenty-eight mills and facto rie.s, am '’.J2 w’aich are ten grist and flour­ing <m‘U, one of tbe latter, is capa­ble of manufacturing one hundred and eighty barrels offlourjn a day. In ad- ditioa to those, there are yarioui other

[For the Penn-Yan DemccratJP E N N - Y A N .

A passing traveller who has recently visited this beautiful and thrifty village, feels constrained to give it a cursory no­tice, with a view to general information, and to correct in some measure the erro­neous impressions which have so gener­ally pret^tled in relation to it. Without nolicing the t/ang, which has been so in­dustriously bandied, from one public

print to another, and even copied into Eoglish papers ; it is truly remarkable that the situation, business and prospects of this highly favored placo, have been

iSO little known and so much misunder­stood.

? P enn-Yaw, is situated sixteen miles south of Geneva,at the foot of the Crook­

ed Lake, (on whose banks the celebra­ted Red Jacket was born) in the midst of a soil of uncommon richness, producing wheat of the finest quality, and in great ,abundance. T h e Lake is about twenty miles in length, with a picturesque, and

'healthy shore ; at its northern extremity ' opening into the shape of the letter Y. It is a beautiful sheet of water, and is fill-

: ed *vith a great variety of excellent fish, among which are salroon-trout. white-fish, mullet, perch, &c

A Bank with a capital o f ^100,000 has been chartered the present session of the Legislature, to be located there, and its stock is sought for with great avidity.— The business and resources of the coun­ty wili amply sustain it, and render it a profitable institution, and will contribute much to the prosperity of the place.

With the commanding advantages, which this village possesses, its favorable location, the business facilities afibrded by the Canal, and the enterprise o f its inhabitants, there is no village in the western section of the state, o f higher promise, or which bids fairer, for a per-

^manent and healthy growth, excepting Rochester and Bufialo. The village lots, in tbe most elligible part have already idvanced to fifty dollars per foot. The name Penn-Yan,was adopted with a view of ‘‘ splitting the difierence,” between the Tennsylvanians and Yankees, by whom the p l^ e was first settluu. What­ever may have been the moral condition of tbe place several years since, its pre­sent inhabitants, are distinguished by cor­rect principles, and the liberally with which they have contributed to the va­rious religious and benevolent institu­tions which characterize the spirit o f the age.

A Shocking CrimeV.aiso

Seldom has this section been so deeply shocked as by the tragedy near Penn Yan which cost the life of 13-year-old-Evelyn Reed, only child of a highly esteemed Penn Yan couple. With all the evidence point­ing to murder, it is not to be wondered at that feeling through Yates and Steuben Counties runs high. Not only was the v ic­tim exceptionally popular, but the revolt­ing circumstances of the crime arouse hoi'- ror that such things can happen in the heart of civilized New York State. The sympathy of the community was attested by the throngs that paid their respects at the funeral services yesterday.

It will be a matter of endless wonder to the layman that criminals of pronounced perversions who have oi'Kie been convicted should be turned loose on the public with­out the closest possible check on theiij movements. While the man who has been ! arrested for this crime is entitled to his day in court until pronounced guilty, it is a matter of record that he was sentenced to Attica Prison five years ago for assault­ing a woman with an auto crank, and that he was out on parole when the recent crime was committed. Authorities say his police record goes back to 1927.

The prisoner comes from a respected family at Prattsburg, he has a wife and two children, all of whom are innocent victims of the notoriety that has attended this crime. Whatever the final verdict may be—and the police and prosecution have acted with commendable speed to clear up the case—the warning to the public, especially to parents, is clear. Dangerous perverts are at large, a constant menace to children. Eternal vigilance must be practiced against them.

ty, on the 26th ult. of consumption, Elizabeth R. wife of Isaac Baker, and daughter of Joseph Jones, of Penn-Yan Yates co. aged about 26 years—a mem­ber o f the society o f Friends.

As individuals, we mourn the loss of the dead in proportion to the interesting associations they com­bined while living. As Christians, our regard is re­lieved in proportion to the assurance a retrospection of their life, and the quietness of their death, afford, that tiie deathless spirit has “ returned to God who gave it.”

By this rule, few, very few, have passed from the earth, who, in all the relations of a domestic life, can be more deeply and justly m ourned; and none wherein our regret is more entirely relieved. For never was that beautiful and instructive expression of Pope’s more appropriate:

See how a Christian can Die”—Or that of Solomon,

“ Wisdom is grey hairs; and an unspotted life old a^e.”

They Knew, and Honor, Him

Yates County mourns the passing of o n e ; of its most useful and helpful citizens, j

'When a county judge is reelected term after term—in Judge Gilbert Baker’s case six six-year terms—it means that he has won the confidence of his community, of his neighbors.

A judge meets his neighbors in dramatic circumstances. Their difficulties may be small or large. At such times they need sympathy and understanding, but as a judge he must uphold the law and dispense evenhanded justice.

Judge Baker was born in the town of | Milo, he was graduated from the Dundee ■ High School, he studied law in Penn Yan.j

H e grew up with his people. They knew (him as he knew them. That such famil­iarity bred, not contempt, but trust, re­spect, honor, tells something of his qual-

iities and of the qualities of the community.Judge Baker was known outside Yates

County. He had a high reputation in bar, 'and judicial circles, and among local gov­ernment officers throughout this section of the state^H ijs ®ervi^^s an inspiratiqa to others. V' .
