EAGLES MERE.

=
Once more the sons of Italy are
with us and with poetic fervor they
dig and delve on the extentiOn of
the Eagles Mere II. r. that has been
a matter of promise and prophe-
q. for so many years, and now seems
assured. 1t is understood that its
course is to be around back Of Crest
mont Hill, through the woods by al
most level grade to Chautauqua.
Pretty soon the little "Fire Devil
Locomotive" No. 5 will be making
things lively back there with bon
fires that will pale all the political
demonstrations.that have everrbeen
known.... Its pyrotechnics after dark
make picture simply grand, Eal-
though it forbodes destruction to the
little forest that remains.
The purpose of the extention is to
connect with a railroad built by Mr..
Chas. w. Sones to bring out his lum-
Der, and "a his part of the road is
graded and ties almost distributed,
some rapid tracklaying is likely.
People say that when this is done
some Hillsgrove business will be
carried by this route. 1t is even as
serted that it is among the possibili-
ties that the rails may be laid all the
way to the Hillsgrove tannery. We
shall wait and see. While 1t will
add nothing to the attractiveness OF
Eagles Mere, it may possibly secure
that we have not had
in the past.
The new board walk along the
Morgan Road promises to be the
favorite Lovers Ramble next sum-
mer, and will be a wonderful accom-,
odation to the visitors at the Beau
mont cottages, though it will doubt
less be the regular constitutional
walk between Chautauqua and
for all the pedestrian
health seekers of the place.
OF course Lakeside would not be
Lakeside if something new was not
taking place at that Mecca for its
friends of all the years of its business
life. A children's playhouse is down
On the list for naturalization this
and Mr.. Kirk has the repu-
tation of not talking much in ad-
vance but he invariably gets things
finished in good time.
Raymond Kehrer nearly emptied
some of the wholesale stores in New
York when he went on to make his
usual yearly purch' sc, and the Treas
ury Department at Washington
made Government Depository of
the WestBranch NationallBank and
sent on large amount of funds 20
As to be ready for his checks dis
his bills. When the crowd
arrives it will find the store supplied
with everything that can be thought
Of. If any one has any doubts on
the subject, it is suggested that a
,all be made for some unusual arti-
.le and it will be found.
Rev. S. B. Bidlack has been max
ing church of Hotel Eagles Mere
all winter and the results are sim
ply amazing. The old drugstore has
gathered itself up and departed for
parts at present unknown, in its
stead has come an attractive main
hall, an Office right alongside of the
lining room entrance, new reading
and writing rooms, coat rooms, ac-
for bell boys, new
new sanitary arrangements
on every floor and host Of ether
things that will be discovered on a
visit. The other hotels had better
make note of it and invite Mr..
Bidlack to hold protracted meetings
in their houses and watch the results.
Mr.. w. c. Dodge of Washington,
has been doing some figuring on a
new boat propeller manufactured by
the Submerged Electric Motor Co.,
of Menominie, Wisconson. 1t is to
be hoped that he may finally decide
to invest in one of them as they
seem to be marvellous success
wherever tried &c far. They can be
attached to any ordinary row boat
in few minutes, and answer the
purpose of both motor and tiller un-
der perfect control and that will run
a boat for number of hours from
one charge of the Storage Battery
