New York pcrmeTting the Enyir-
ors of Atlantic city

Atlantic City. March 3.-AS the Lenten
season advances the influx of visitors to
this resort becomes greater day by day.
Hotels along the beach front, as well as
many of the smaller houses farther back
in the city. are filing up at a rate that is
gratifying 10 their proprietors. Each in
coming train brings its quota of guests.
and the departures are comparatively few.
The number of visitors today is fully as
large as was usually expected at Eastertdc
Il few years ago. The boardwalk al mid
day presents an animated appearance; tha
stream OF promenaders moving steadily up
and down is really OF remarkable prcpor-
tions.
The rcliing-chair fad is again in its
glory. Scores CT these vehicles are trun-
died along the walk at all hours of the
day. Although they were originally de-
signed for invalids. the proportion OF
healthy looking people who now occupy
them Is quite large. There has been in the
past considerable objection 10 the TOO lib
cral use OF the chairs on the walk. but
there are now regulations which prohibit
them from monOpolizinE the entire deck Of
the structure.
\ new feature of the throngs of strollars
on the boardwalk is the comparatively
large number Of New Workers 10 be seen.
Gotham has apparently adopted Atlantic
City aS her favorite seaside resort.
Until few years ago Philadeiphians al
most monopolized the city. but within the
last year or two things have changed; the
number OF people from the metropolis who
now come here regularly. particularly in
the spring season. compares favorsbly with
the number from Philadelphia ard the
visitors from the two cities continue 10
ou;numbeT those from the rest Of the cOun-
try.
1t IS now hoped that the boardwalk will
be open through Fort Lee" at Texas

mer season The controversy which has
been going on for years between the city
and Richard Lee. the owner of the property

able to raise wheat At Hinsdale,
which, by the way, is in the midst of

farmers want mill and The impress
sion prevails that sufficient power can
be had from the damming Of the prin-
cipal stream, Milk river. 1t is argued
that mill located at this point would
accommodate the wheat raisers for 10
to so miles east and west. At Chinook
there is strong desire for the location
of a Touring mill and the farmers main
tain that the starting Of the project or
rather the commencement of a mill
there or in that neighborhood would
at once give a stimulus to wheat rails
ers such as would easily supply the
mill, and we believe the subject is we'll
worth investigation by practical mill
men. The points named, being situated
on the line of the Great Northern rail-
way, have numerous advantages over
more isolated sections of the state.
