While there were no public exercises
at Salem in commemoration OF the

EDITOR Press -
Allow me to take exception
through your columns to the re-
marks oil e P. u. made two weeks
ago, about road hogs refusing to fur
nish shell stones and gravel free for
road Improvement, The reason is
this For four years 1 have been
furnishing free gravel, and last year
1 offered to give a long row of shell
stones, the only labor required was
to throw them in on a piece of road
road back of my property I offered
to furnish gravel free of charge, six
inches to a foot thick, if they would
take and cart it on. Not a bit was
taken, consequently made up my
mind this season, when the roads
had to be repaired, to charge five
cents load.
They are very willing to have free
gravel in order to have an opportu-
nifty to wear out the tax levy in
short order, but when it comes to
making good road that is another
thing
Another reason is, whether
through incapacity or unwillingness
the roads generally are not properly
drained, or put in such condition
that they will not wash, consequent
ly tits only a waste of taxes to put
the material on, and might as well
charge for it. A neighbor told me
he refused gravel for the reason he
had a piece of road which was smooth
enough for a bicycle track, and he
furnished free gravel to put on
When the job was done a horse
could not trot over it without
danger Of injury He thought it
better to refuse free gravel when
put to such uses. J.C

An informal reception was ex-
tended to Mr.. Albert Guerin at
the residence of Father Treis in
Matamoras Monday night. A large
number of the people of St.Joseph's s.
Church were present. Mr.. Guerin
is brother -in-law of Father Treis.
He is a Cuban by birth, having
been born at Cienfuegos, which was
bombarded by the u. s. fleet last
week. Though he has lived in New
York city for the past twenty years,
he has during that period held a
position as steward in the Ameri-
can Havana line steamers.
He was on the Saratoga which
was still in Havana harbor when
the war was declared. The ship
met with narrow escape, having
been fired on by the forts, but found
shelter behind a steamer bearing
the Red Cross flag. AS the Sara
toga got out of the harbor she met
the torpedo boat Cushing, which,
finding it to be an American steam
er, dismissed it with orders to make
for the Florida coast with all haste.
There were $50 passengers on board,
very much affrightened people.
Though the usual speed of the Sara
toga is about IA knots, it covered
375 miles in q hours
Mr.. Guerin is a very pleasant
gentleman He speaks English
quite fuently, though with a pro-
nounced Spanish accent.
He told many interesting stories
of Cuban life, of Spanish cruelty
and treachery and interspersed his
account with numerous incidents.
He is an American citizen and is en-
thusiastic for Cuban freedom, and
his graphic account of the real state
of Caban affairs conveyed to all the
conviction that the facts as made
known to the public have uot been
exaggerated
Mr.. Guerin was listened to with
rapt attention and all extended to
him a vote of thanks for his highly
interesting talk. Before leaving,
the party was treated to a delicious
lunch. Toasts were passed to Cub
an liberty, Admiral Dewey, Admiral
Sampson and "Uncle Sam"
After singing the patriotic songs,
"The Star Spangled Banner" and
"My Country 'Tis of Thee" the
party retired with the unanimous
verdict that, thanks to Rev. Father
Treis and MIR. Guerin, it was one of
the most delightful evenings they
had ever spent.

The report of the State Geologist

report of our State Geologist l. G.

are slight differences yet it becomes
apparent that the scientific gentle

who is right, if either is The ex-
amples of variation are six feet in

arisen through some mistake, but

The meetings were very largely
attended, and great interest shown.
At Easton there was an unusual
demonstration and the speaker took
occasion to severely criticise General
Frank Reeder's acts IN signing the
now famous indemnity bond, and
for his connection with the fire
alarm bill. At a serenade subse-
quently rendered the general, he
denied the allegations made and
briefly defended his course. The

Progress on tn Q Railroad.
Grading on the new railroad is
being pushed and gangs of men have
been working this week on the Quinn
Cummings, Pierce, Pinchot and
Westbrool1 farms. New derriclIs
and the engine, iron and materials
for the bridge have arrived, and the
Company bids fair to have the road
in operation by July. The people
here generally will welcome its
coming, as it will introduce a diff
ferent order in our business and
create new conditions to which our
people must adjust their affairs
That it will bring sharper competi-
ton, because of the facility it will
afford for easy and cheap communi.
cation to other towns of which
many will avail themselves, there is
no doubt, but it will create new
life here, and make our town ship
ping point and also a location for
manufacturing enterprise which af-
ter all is the life blood of a commun-
ity. That no more products are raised
here than are necessary for home
consumption, and that there will
be nothing to ship is a fallacy
Accommodations being given, enter
prise must arise and those who de-
sire to advance in prosperity must
relinquish the old idea that isolation
is the better condition. A rail-
road will in all respects place us
on the same general level with other
towns, and in this age to be without
such facility is to be far behind the
age. We must simply advance with
the occasion, rise to the opportunities
afforded, take the hand of progress
and pull your selves above the levil
of the other competitors. Others
will see the chances and usurp the
benefits if our people do not awaken
and improve the possibilities.
