NEW YORK.

NGvv 1VMn.
There is no more beautiful country to be found between the Atlantic
Ocean and the Rocky Mountains than the magnificent country surrounding
Orangeburgh and Bavelt, In Rockland County.
They are located in beautiful rolling valley begrt with magnificent
hills clothed with luxuriant verdure from base to summit. Broad green
fields, intersected with babbling brooks and decked with a profusion' OF wild
flowers, present a scene that most New York people do not imagine exists
so near the Metropolis.
Orangeburgh is very thriving little manufacturing village located on
the lines Of the West Shore and Erie railroads. which cross each other at
this point, 20 miles from New York.
Located here we have the Fibre Pipe Conduit Co., Empire Motor
Machine Co., Bell & Company Qnc), Manufacturing Chemists; The L. D.
Johns Co., Manufacturing Chemists, The Rockland Light and Power Co,
which supplies all Of Rockand County and the northern part OF Bergen
County with light and power to run their factories. Also here is the
Orangeburgh Race Track and Fair Grounds, acknowledged to be the most
beautiful fair grounds and the best half mile track in the State OF New York.
At the entrance to the grounds IL the Orsngeburgh Inn, one OF the
proprietor Mr VIM. Moore) makes a speciality Of catering to automobile
parties, and the best evidence that he gives satisfaction is the fact that
his trade in that line is increasing daily.
Bauvelt is the next station above Orangeburgh and is Fl miles from
New York. At the present time 1t is q very pretty village, without any
manufacturing interests.
There Is at this place q magnificent piece Of property ready for i'm
mediate development for residential purposes.
1t Is situated directly opposite the West Shore r. R. station and con-
tains about one hundred acres. The land Is high, well drained, with beau-
tiul views In every direction. The house, immense barns, outhouses,
fences, &C., are lin perfect condition, and the residence and barns are supplied
with pure spring water from q reservoir on the mountainside that is fed
by never failing springs. This reservoir belongs to the property. This
magnificent property will be sold for q amount that will make prices now
being paid for Long Island acreage look ridiculous. Price given to prnci.
pls only on personal interview.
At Orsngsbufsh and Blsuvet you will positively have no malaria and
practically no mosquitoes.
At Orangebugh and Bhauvslt we have at the present time a good train
service. Twelve trains q day, each way, with . schedule OF IS minutes
on express and one hour on local trains
The Tunnels under the Hudson River and the change from steam to
electricity by the West Shore and Erie roads will bring Orangeburgh and

Fire Hazards Ought TO Govern.
"rhe insurance rate OF each town or
city should be established according to the
FIRE hazards incident 70 that certain
locality. the condition and size of its fire
department, ETC.. and can. therefore, not
be governed by conditions brought about
by such unforeseen actions of the elements
as earthquakes. and the like, unparalleled
in the history of the world. IL any one
wants TO carry insurance against destruc-
ton from earthquake in localities where
they are common, they may carry IL
separately as we here carry tornado In
surance, etc. That should have no con-
nectlon with common fire Insurance at all.
Another alleged illustration Of the neces-
sity OF increased fire insurance is drawn
from the recent Hayden Bros. fire in this
city. The insurance people claim that
though the damage to buildings may be
slight. as IN this case. the damage done
to the stock is apt to be very great. This
very fire is the most fiagrant example of
the poor judgment insurance companies ex-
ercise and then let their patrons hold the
sack. Their motto seems to be: Get the
premium, and IL the risk proves bad, 50
we don't make as much as we ought to,
we can easily enough raise the rates all
over the country. and that will surely
make up for any mistake
Hayden Bros. Loss. ..
Examine for a moment the Hayden
Bros. loss and that course will be demon
strated beyond a shadow of doubt. Before
underwriting this risk the insurance people
knew that II a sprinkler system be in

building, without an automatic alarm of
any kind to indicate when the water COM

on Sundays and holidays. that II the
slightest iire breaks out in the building
while It is abandoned. the water from
the sprinkler system would put out the

q fre should ever break out while no ont
was in the building II would result in

stock worth over $4,000. But, in spite o
all this. the insurance was written AM
evidently without any exemption clause
