Who Was the Real DiscOverer of

No Dutch or English man can affirm
the discovery of the Hudson river.
Verrazzano must have distanced Hud-
sons archives by nearly a hundred
years However, the Dutch and Eng
lish liaison in the matter is close Hud-
son Is appropriated by Dutch minds
and has Holland tradition round him.
He came in a Dutch yacht called the
Half Moon In 1909. His sailors were
Hollanders and Englishmen. He rep
resented Dutch East India company
on its way to find the much sought
for northeast passage to India. He
explored the Hudson, going as far as
the little town that bears his name,
and he himself has been transmitted
to posterity with such blended and
mixed traditions as to constitute him
well nigh a half breed in peoples
minds.
The names Of the river are varied.

North river. the Great river, the

THE OLD PORTAGE ROAD.
Built by Pennsylvania with Mater1a
BrOuxht From ENGLAND

Built by PennsyIvanfa with Material
Brought From England.
For some time prior to 1900 travel
across Pennsylvania had been in ca
noes and In river barges propelled by
poles or along the shores of rivers by
horse and foot and by intervening
portages on Indian trails, connecting
points on the different rivers. The
Philadelphia ittsburg national pike
was built upon such a substantial basis
that wherever undisturbed one still
finds the gracefully modelled arches Of
solid masonry almost intact after more
than century has passed. The COM
pletion of the Old Portage railroad by
the state of Pennsylvania In 1884 put
an end to the time honored coach and
SIX" with the many picturesque and
commodious inns and taverns along the
line of this broad macadamized toll
struction was in point of endurance
second only to the Roman military
roads of Great Britain
This Old Portage road was construct
ed from material brought from Eng
land The British government sent
over experienced engineers to instruct
the Americans in the running of the
stationary steam engines used upon
the inclined planes Of the road In the
Allegheny mountains. The railroads
highest point was about 2,700 feet
above sea level, being only 200 feet
lower than the neighboring hill, which
is the highest point of the Allegheny
mountains In Pennsylvania. The road
consisted of ten planes, five of which
were on either side of the mountain
and intervening levels. In 1885 the
canal boats were so constructed that
! they could be taken in sections and
hauled over the mountain on fat cars
without disturbing their cargoes. The
rails were secured to stone sleepers,
twenty inches square, which were sunk
in the ground.
On the Old Portage road the best
time for the forty miles between Hol-
lidaysburg and Johnstown was twelve
hours. Express trains on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad now run a closely par
alleI distance over the Allegheny noun
tains In a trife over one hour. The
passenger traffic on the road in those
days was usually limited to one car
each way a day, with a capacity of
thirty passengers.
In 1854 the Pennsylvania Railroad
company bought the Portage road from
the state Of Pennsylvania Chicago

The following facts, which saw
with my own eyes on repeated occa-
sions, fully convinced me that animals
have the powers Of memory and
thought. l once had a three parts
bred black and tan terrier, which slept
in a basket in my bedroom that opened
into the nursery. One Of my children
was from i'll health very fractions, and
whenever Tiny heard it cry she would
go into the nursery, hunt about until
she found a squeaking rag doll, take it
to the side of the cot and, sitting up,
shake it to amuse the child. If in do
ing this she did not display powers of
memory, thought and reflection utter

Torrance could be NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT McCarter last week
settled the question of who is to be his
assistant by appointing Assemblyman
Duffield, of Essex. The fact that the ap-
pointee comes from the same county as the
principal does not appear to count nor was
there any serious objection to him because
he was member of the Legislature still in
commission. The name of Senator Horner
had been mentioned in connection with
this position, but all movements to that
end had been on the part of Mr.. Horner's
friends. He had not sought the place and
he does not deserve criticism which has
been passed upon him for something he
was not guilty of.

ANOTHER one of those absolutely ridicu-
lous phases of New Jerseys game laws
was brought to light last week when some
deputy game wardens, evidently short of
cash. raided cold storage establish
ment of Newark and took note of all
game that was in the place. Suit has
been instituted against the proprietor of
the warehouse under the section which
prohibits any one having game in his
possession out of season. The fact that it
was put in storage lawfully does not figure
at all. This is about as nonsenical as can
be imagined. There ought to be nation
al game law, with some common sense
in it.
