ending the Japanese-Russian war. The
formal announcement of the reward
will be made by the king of Sweden

Nobel prize in the future because OF
his efforts and speeches in favor OF
peace at the nterparlimentary con
gress in London. 1t is admitted that
the amendments which he offered
have gone farther toward doing away
with the possibilities of war between
the great nations than any effort in
recent years. Some of the publica
lions which take an interest in the
prize say that Mr.. Byran's amend
ments in favor of peace will have q
greater direct effect upon the future
of nations than Mr.. Roosevelt's

The Ottens canal al connected with

week. This waterway is one of the
principal features of the island al the
water is deep enough to admit any
kind or size of boats used by pleasure
parties in this vicinity, and enables the
boats to reach Grassy Sound at any
time or tide for sailing, fishing or crab
bling. The canal commences at the
foot of 18th avenue, where this summer
there will be launched sailboats and
row boats for Grabbing and fishing.
The handsome boat house of the yacht
club will be erected nearby, as will also
a number of private boat houses,
making the landing the most conven-
lent and best of its kind along the

Joseph A. Dear of the Jersey City
Journal and a member of the Hudson
county citizens equal taxation com
mittee made an argument in favor of
the system of direct taxing of railroads
by the different taxing districts as
against the administration plan of hav-
ing the state impose this tax at an av-
erage of all taxing rates and then dis
tributing the money to the counties in
proportion to their population. He de-
clared that Jersey City was being
wronged out of much money by the
present system of railroad taxation.
Counselor William IL. Corbin. repre-
senting the Lehigh Valley and the Erie
railroads, spoke strongly against the
policy of soaking the railroads. All
the bills now before the legislature
were, in his opinion, unconstitutional
and manifestly unfair. The average
taxation of the whole country, he de
clared, was S274 a mile, while in New
Jersey it is SIT. If the governors
plan to make the railroads pay $4,000
600 to the state in taxes is carried out,
be said, the railroads would be bearing
one-fourth of the total taxes of the
state, and this would be unfair. as it
would be nearly one-fourth of the net
earnings of the roads. He said the rail
roads would support any just measure
of taxation.
The Pennsylvania railroad was repre-
scented by Frank Lloyd of Camden. who
urged taxation that would be just to
both railroads and private property
lie referred to Governor
Stokes assertion that $500,000,00 10 of
personal property in this state is eS-
Gaping taxation and advised the legls-
lature to get after that property.

Topics Daily:
"Mr. Bleasdale tells an interesting
story of an experience which he had in
eastern Pennsylvania. He was pro-
ceeding from Scranton to Milford, and
stopped zeal the little village of Bush
kill at a little country inn. During the
evening the son of the proprietor of the
inn fell on the stairway and bruised
himself, cutting a dangerous cash in
his head. A doctor was needed and
there was no volunteer to go for him
except Mr.. Bleasdale, who took his car
and went eight miles to the next vii
lage, only to find that the doctor had
left town for several days. 1t was,
therefore, necessary for him togo twen-
ty miles further, to milford, and he
did so. The quickest led across a
railroad trestle about one hundred
yards long. Mr.. Bleasdale did not like
the job of crossing the trestle with his
machine, but to avoid it would have
necessitated a long detour. So he took
the t%restle, making slow but steady
progress, AID succeeded in crossing sat-
isfactorily.
He says it was n of the most dam
gerous experiments he has ever had.
Mr.. Bleasdale secured a doctor at Null
ford and drove back twenty-eight miles
tn Bushkill, avoiding the trestle how
ever on the return trip.
