HAS DoNNED IT'S SUMMER GARB
Lake Hopatcong Now Has About as
Many Patrons as the Hotels and
Cottages Can Accommodate.


Lake Hopatcong has donned it's sum-
mer garb, looking at it from a business
standpoint, and the proprietors of ho-
tells and boarding cottages are exceed
ingly rejoiced thereat The gathering
of summer visitors in May or early
June is thing of the past, and al
though the larger hotels open about
June Is or 20, the proprietors expect
but little patronage prior to July /.
Orders for rooms are received, but such
orders are usually for July and Au-
gust.
This year the rush to the lake on
July Sd, 4th and 9Th was unprecedent-
ed. Hotel Breslin was compelled to do
what it had never done before, j. e..
turn away more than hundred appli-
cants who desired sleeping accommo-
dations from the evening of the Sd
till the following Monday morning, as
every room was filed. There was a
similar rush and demand on the Fourth
on the arrival of the morning boats,
which it was simply impossible to COM
ply with.
With the advent of Messrs. Palmer
and Mcdowell much-needed change
in details of management of this noted
hostelry took place, and the Breslin
appears to have at a bound regained
it's former prestige. Many old-time
patrons whose faces were not seen
there last year have returned; and the
shiftless service has disappeared with
gratifying results.
The shaded grounds about the house
furnished lively picture on the
Fourth, albeit no extra attractions had
been provided There were several
coaching and automobile parties from
Orange and Elizabeth, and the horse
less carriages were drawn up in line
along the broad drive in front of the
hotel. Nearly four hundred persons
had dinner there that day, and Sunday
furnished a repetition of the heavy
demand on the stewards staff.
Among those registered were Miss
M. A. Osborn, of Morristown, and A.
M. Decker and 0. M. Crane, of Madi-
son. The Newark contingent num-
bered about thirty.
Baron and Baroness Vertinghoff, of
Austria, who came from Europe last
fall and passed the winter at Palm
Beach, Fla, are at the Breslin for the
season. The baron has a fine tandem
team and several excellent saddle
horses, and he and the Baroness are
daily explorers of the various country
roads when the weather is favorable.
A pleasing feature at the Breslin is
the music, under the direction of e.
L. Cranmer, of New York. There is
no morning music; the luncheon mu-
sic is from l till $50 p. M, and the
evening music from till 10. A hop is
given every Saturday, and the walk
from the dock up to the house is well
lighted so that visitors from cottages
along the lake can find their way up
from the boat landing without Stun
bling. On Sunday evening the orches-
ira furnishes classical and semi-class-
ical music.
The Office staff of the Breslin COM
prises j. N. Nance, cashier, who fills
the same position at the Magnolia, st.
Augustine, Fla, during the winter
months; c. A. Creighton, room clerk,
and George r. Wilson, night clerk.

MIR. FOWLER ON ALDR1cH BILL
Says it is But Continuation of Bad
Policy in Currency Matters.

Says it is But Continuation of Bad
Policy in Currency Matters.
The Minnesota Bankers Association
began it's annual session Tuesday, and
among the prominent speakers sched-
uled to address the audience on fnan-
cial matters were Charles N. Fowler,
of New Jersey, chairman of the COM
mittee on banking and currency of
the house of representatives, and
Charles E. Dawes, OF Chicago, former
comptroller of the currency.
Mr.. Fowler spoke. on Necessary
Financial Currency Legislation.
Among other things, he said the AL
drich bill was no remedy for present
evil circumstances, but continuation
of bad policy. Continuing, he said:
MY plan is to allow the issue of
currency to a certain percentage of
bank capital. 1t was twenty-five per
cent. in the last bill. 1t might be
made as high as 100 per cent. after the
system was in good working order. If
all the farmers and farm laborers and
small storekeepers were accustomed
to the use of checks there would be no
use for any currency expansion in this
country"
NOTED PEDDLER DISAPPEARED
But was Found Wandering In Hobo
ken's Streets by His Son.
With bag and baggage Herman
Rosenbaum, the proprietor of gar
bage wagon, left his happy home at
New Vernon last Tuesday and thought
he had disappeared. His family
thought SO, too, and they notified the
police to that effect. Rosenbaum had
taken his best clothes, and had also
collected as much money as possible
from accounts due him to the first of
the present month.
The news of disappearance was sent
to a son living in Hoboken, with re-
quest to look out for his father. He
did so and discovered the old gentle
man patrolling the streets of Hoboken.
He gently informed his father that
Hoboken was large city and he was
in danger of getting lost, and coaxed
him to go back home, which Rosen-
baum consented to do, accompanied by
his son.
1t is feared he is mentally weak.

The Short Session.

Some of our readers are asking
why the bill quoted below wa.
not brought up at the short ses
sion of the legislature.
The bill was mailed to Senator
DAILY. at Salem, in season for the
. session. The Senator was, no'
present, and the letter remained
in the postofice. Mr.. Hayden
knew nothing about it, and did
not see it until his return to this
city.
The following is the text OF
the bill:
An Act empowering and au-
thorizing the Common Council of
the City of Corvallis, Oregon,
to prevent, prohibit and punish,
within the said city, any and all
persons from selling, giving or
disposing of in any manner, spir-
ituous or malt liquors to minor.
Be it enacted by the Legisla-
tive Assembly of the State of
Oregon:
The Common Council of the
City of Corvallis, Benton County,
Oregon, has power and authority
within the City of Corvallis, to
prohibit and punish any
and all persons, whether he or
they be barkeepers, saloonkeep-
ers or dealers in spir1tuous or
malt liquors or not, from selling,
giving or disposing of in any
manner, any spirituous or malt
liquors to a minor.
We also give below Represen-
tative Hayden's speech on the
question of appropriating $780,
300 for right of way for Cello
canal. It was as follows:
Mr.. Speaker: In explanation
IF my vote I will say that while
realize that the commerce of
he Inland Empire is seriously
lampered for the lack of better
transportation to the sea cannot
consent at this time to add another
51oo, 900 to the $1o5, 900 for that
,lace, but would be in favor of
irving the State Board discre-
ionary power in using that
'I65, 900 already appropriated or
o much thereof as may be nee.
ssary to secure the right of way
or the canal and shall, there
ore vote no on the bill.
The bill known as the "Gam-
ling Bill" was, by some hocus
ocus, lost in its passage from
be House to the Senate. It
assed the House..

ANOTHER PIONEER GONE.
Gustave Hodes, An Old Citizen,
Passes Away.

The funeral of Gustave Hodes
one of the oldest settlers of Cor
wallis, took place on Sunday at Z
O'Clock from the undertaking par
lors of S. N. Wilkins, Rev.
A. Carrick, of the Presbyterian
church, officiating.
Gustave Hodes was born il
Prussia, Germany, on January
23, 1928, where he spent his
early youth and apprenticed to a
locksmith and gunsmith. Aftel
completing his apprenticeship he
travelled extensively over Europe,
Egypt and Palestine, returning
to his native town after an alb
sence of five years.
In 1855 he came to America,
making the trip in a sailing YES
sci around Cape Horn and arriv-
ed in San Francisco in 1856. In
the spring of the next year he
came to Oregon and for short
time made his home in Portland.
Alter making a study of the diff
ferent sections of the state, in
August, in the year 1857, he
came to Corvallis, of which place
he remained citizen till the day
of his death.
Mr.. Hodes early identified him
self with the commercial inter
ests of his adopted town. His
place of business was burned sew
era1 times. He originally locat-
ed across the river, in what was
then known as Orleans. The
food of 1861 washed away the
in which he was doing
business. Then, with most of
the other merchants there, he
moved to this side of the river.
For AZ years Mr.. Hodes has
been prominent figure in Cor
Wallis business circles. Punctual
to a fault, methodical in his
habits, diligent and active, he
lad attended to his business as
as the sun rose and set.
For a short time, while the
soldiers were stationed at Kings
Valley, he run store at Fort |
Ioskins. This store was destroy
d by fire. E. w. Fisher came to
Corvallis in 1857 or about the
anne time as Mr.. Hodes, and the
leath of the latter leaves him the
'ldest original business man now
q Corvallis.
Mr.. Hodes was taken sick on
Gonday, the 21st, with peritoni-
is, and died on Friday at 3:15 p.
n. He leaves a wife, Anna
Iodes, a son Hubert, and daugh-
er, Minnie, now the wife of
school Supt. G. w. Denman.
