SPRING LAKE, N J., July 49, 1907.
In recognition of a growing sentiment
that some provision ought to be made out
of the tax receipts for the advancement OF
Spring Lakes interests as an amusement
place. the borough council has appropriated
a fund of 500 to be used for music on pub
lie occasions and for like expenditures. 1t
is realized that this sum of money Is to-
tally inadequate .Or much of a display but
the hotel men and public-spirited citizens
appreciate start having been made in the
right direction. Another year. they say,
they will more than double this amount.
Likewise the town has been interesting
itself in the furnishing of new paviIons
A lot of semi-reclining chairs were ordered
for them this week. The Town is consider
Ing the erection Of number of small pa
vilions between the north and the south
pavilion. No structures of any size are
contemplated. 1t is thought. however that
there ought to be a number of little sum-
mer houses. large enough to hold seats for
fifteen or twenty.
Social enjoyments of a dozen kinds have
interested Spring Lake patrons this week
Automobiling parties out to shore dinner

more than their share of attention There

EDITORIAL COMMENT
MINES NEVER IN BETTER SHAPE.

Have the Tonopah stocks reached bedrock prices?
Nearly all the securities took a slight turn for the better yese-
day, and there was a little surprise occadoned by the fact, perhaps, for
the reason that we are not used to such a performance.
But there are reasons why the stocks of the mines of this camp
should cease in the downward path. In the first place the mystery is as
plenty of it, and there is plenty of payock being taken out sent to the
mills and shipped to the smelters. This on its face would seem to be a
sufficient impetus for the rise of the securities of the mines.
But there are other conditions that must be observed. When stocks
get away from the original holders, and they must do that to put suf-
cent money in the treasury for the operation of the properties, while the
control may still be vested in the original holders, the market is usually
made by the outsiders. AS everybody knows there has been and is a
of the year to prepare for the moving of the crops which is about to take
place. The banks all over the country must have sufficient reserves to
handle the crops which are to be shipped from their locality, and this
necessity draws in the banks of the financial centers.
This year there "a a tightness long before this time was reached,
a n unnatural tghtness. The trusts were being hit by the big stick, there
were labor troubles and rumors of more. The trusts undertook to teach
a lesson to the administration, and 70 show to the people that Roose-
the bad" year. Thinking people know better than that, but it is easy
to throw dust in the eyes of the great majority of the voters; and this has
been the scheme of the men behind the great indusrials, who have made
their biggest money in violation of the laws. Sympathzers are abroad
deprecatng the action of the president, even admitting that the trusts
are wrong, making the argument that such a policy will overurn all the
finances of the country. 1t will be far better to do that at this time, than
70 permit these predatory financial kings to keep up their lawless meth
DDS.
Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou has forestaled the shortage at
tendant upon the crop movement by making loans to the banks, which
may be returned in instalments. The situation looks better, and already
the money situation looks easier. Men who have been compelled to throw
their stocks on the market, are seeking to get them back again. 1t was
the forced sale of the stocks that sent the market down; it will be the
that time was at hand. The mines of Tonopah never were in better shape
for a rise in their stocks than right now and ono a start is made in the
sight direction, W may look for the biggest stock market ever wit
uessed in Nevada

NEW COUNSEL FOR THAw.

Martin w. Littleton, who has been
selected to succeed Dolphin Delmas
as chief counsel for Harry X. Thaw,
slayer of Stanford White, at his next
trial, which is scheduled to begin In
the September term Of court, is a
former president of the borough Of
Brooklyn and has the reputation of
being one of the keenest criminal
lawyers in New York. In fact, il
was his remarkable series of sue
cesses in winning cases considered
almost hopeless by older and more
experienced attorneys that first
brought him into prominence in the
metropolis.
Early in life Mr.. Littleton entered
the political arena and with his elo-
quence and ability as a vote getter
was soon recognized as a power in
the New York democratic ranks. He
secured a strong following and grad
ually worked his way up until in
1903 he easily won the presidency of
his borough.
Mr.. Littleton made the address In
st. Louis nominating Judge Alton N.
Parker for president of the United
States.
Harry X. Thaw has taken his time
in selecting a man to assume charge
OF his case and has decided upon Mr..
Littleton after receiving advice from
veterans of the legal profession,
Littleton will have an advantage over
Delmas in that he is thoroughly post
ed on New York law. The attorney
from the west was continually com
PEELED to consult his associates, while
Thaw's new counsel is as strong in
this regard as District Attorney Je-
rome. 1t is said that Littleton's fec
is $25, 900.

DOWN And OUT

RENO, Aug. 29,-At a meeting OF
the directors of the Reno Stock and

was decided to disorganize. The fur
niture and fixtures will be donated
to the Nevada Commercial League
and the funds on hand will be re-
turned to the members pro rata.
The exchange was organized in
the latter part of last year and was
well patronized for a while. Later
the lull in the stock market came
and business fell off so that a long
holiday was declared. 1t was believed
at that time that by fall of this year
interest would have revived sufh-
GENTLY to warrant the %reopening OF
the exchange, but events have not
borne out that belief and the direc-
tors decided to suspend indefinitely
