AN ORANGE TROLLEY SCHEME,
Discovered by the Orange journal
Last Week. Route via West Orange
over Mountain to Morristown.

Discovered by the Orange journal
Last Week. Route via West Orange
Over Mountain to Morristown.
The Orange Journal last week dis
covered trolley scheme. 1t was for
a line from Newark to Morristown
running via West Orange and over
the Mountain to Morristown using
the st. Cloud elevator to raise the cars
from the low level to the mountain
top. In connection with the new
Central avenue line of the Public Ser
vice corporation this would make a
very direct route to Morristown via
Whippany. The Journal thought
that the elevator scheme was visionary
but suggests an elevated road on
private right-of-way rising from the
terrace edge at Newark to the top OF
the mountain on a gentle grade and
says: This railway would accommodate
electric cars Of the highest speed, that
would compass the journey from
mountain top TO metropolis In fifteen
minutes. There Is plenty Of room
this way for New York city 'soyerfiow.
The enterprise and the courage to in
vest the capital is all that is needed to
open upa West Orange that win throw
| into the shade the fame that the
other Oranges now enjoy.
The years have passed and left the
Oranges to plod along and really fal
behind in the race. We still have

CHINAMEN UNDER THE HAY.

One day a patrol in the vicinity OF the
border town of Tia Juana. Cal, noticed
a wagon with a heaping load Of hay
across the imaginary line which sepa-
rates the two republics. This was not
exactly an unusual proceeding, but the
riders suspicious were aroused, never
theless. Haillng the driver he asked
him his destination. AS the reply was
somewhat hazy the scout informed the
Mexican that he would accompany him.
The fellow looked the picture Of
misery when ne told the patrolman that
he really did not need an escort, so the
latter told him that the man to whom
the hay was to be delivered really did
not need the provender. You had bet

can was voluble in his excuses and ges-
lures, but nevertheless he had to toss
the hay out upon the hot sands. He had
all the load of, with the exception or a
layer about n foot deep, and then he
