Wanted a Local Summer Resort.

Zoar, down in Tuscarawas county,
seems to becoming popular summer
resort for people of neighboring counties.
Excursion trains are even run from
Guernsey county. This peculiar com
munity is not without it's attractions to
many people, and the surroundings will
rapidly take on new beauties and the ac-
cOmmodations increased facilities under
the stimulus of the increased patronage
that in late years has been rapidly devel-
Oping. In these days of summer re-
Sorts places where idleness can be ele-
gantly and pleasantly cultivated for the
benefit of the jaded body will multiply
and there are great opportunities not yet
seized for railroad companies and individ-
mails to develop them. We know of some
very pretty communities maintained as
summering places by patrons from one
particular city. There is such place up
on the lake near Petosky, Michigan, en-
tirely controlled by congenial people from
lansing
One Of the essential elements of a well
selected summer resort is that it should
furnish the visitor with the widest posi-
BILE change of air, and, If possible, an
equally pronounced change of scene. That
Is the main trouble with these railroad
resorts patronized by many Stark county
people, and with profit, too. The atmos-
pheric influences are about the same as we
have at home. If 1t were possible for us
% reach, within fifty or hundred miles
of home, an easily accessible mountain
range with an altitude Of two or three
thousand feet, the above conditions would
be fully met. The increased altitude
would mean increased rarity Of the air,
and this decrease In density would bring

suffers From Isolation.

From what have seen of Ireland I
should say that, industrially and CONNER
cially, the country suffers much from its
isolation. The Irish may not be as frugal
as the Scotch, nor as energetic as the Eng
lish, but they are quicker witted than ell
ther, and not behind either In business
aptitude. But they do not travel In order
to learn, They leave their country In
shoals, and often prosper elsewhere, but
they do not go back, like the Scotch and
the Germans, to put into practice at home
the ideas which they have picked up n
other countries In the matter OF hotel
management suspect that they are at a
disadvantage from knowing little or moth

The Democratic undertow seems just
now to be settlirg g towards william G.
Whitney, of New York. as the party presi-
Dental nominee next year. New York is
understood to be for him IL he wants IL
and now comes Pennsylvania with the
announcement that her delegation will be
for him.
Whitney undoubtedly has many good
points. He is an able, shrewd, and long
headed political manipulation who would
know how to manage campaign; he has
the friendship of both factions in New
York; he has the prestige of having filled
one cabinet position with great credit and
of having refused the secretaryship of
state in the present administration he
comes from the right state
But there is one bad blot on the Whitney
'scutoheon. He is not only many times
a millionaire, but his interests are all
with the big corporations and monopolies.
He Is one of the main spokes in the Stand
ard Oil Co. wheel, and he is very largely
identified with the big Elkins and Wild
ener street railway syndicate.
Such man would not do in the White
House. His first thoughts would be for
the big monopoles. His second, perhaps,
for the people, whose servant the president
is supposed to be. The rank and file in
this country have had all they want Of
this millionaire and monopoly business.
They have got more than they want in
congress without seating another dollar
mark in the presidential shair.

Harvesting Niagara Falls.

The first transmission of electric power
generated by Niagara Falls occurred June
2S. 1t was utilized by the Plttsburg Re,
duction Co., located about one mile from
the falls. Now that the gigantic nature OF
the enterprise of Harvesting part of the
power of Niagara for the use of man be.
comes better understood, the interest OF
the nation is becoming aroused. The final
plans provide for q surface canal 205 feet
in width, with depth of twelve feet,
developing 100000 horsepower. This
water is discharged through subterranean
passages, enclosed in heavy masonry and
containing powerful turbin water wheels.
In an interesting article in Casters Mag
azine, Mr.. Stetson says three of these tur-
bines, each capable of developing 5000
horsepower, are already in place. The
financial success of the undertaking is
not yet demonstrated, and cannot be until
year or two after the power is applied
to industrial uses. Mr.. Stetson thinks,
however, that power can be delivered at
Buffalo at such cost as to undersell
steam power even If coal could be had for
nothing. Mr. Tesla's prediction that the
time Is not far distant when Niagara
power can be delivered profitably in this
city on the one hand, and at Chicago on
the other, does not seem so wonderful as
the telephone did twenty years ago."
