DOINCS AT OTTENS HARBOR
There Will be Much Activity
There during the Winter
Months. Some Home
Builders

The work of completing the extern
sive Improvements at Ottens Harbor
are going steadily on and will continue
until the section will be one of the most
desirable for home site seekers on the
island. A large quantity of Clayville
gravel has been ordered and is being
rapidly shipped to the Harbor for the
installation of the street and sidewalks.
A number of pretty homes have been
built at the Harbor and among the
builders were Joseph Thorpe, James
Robinson, Mrs. Frank McClain, Robert
6. Pierpont, Arthur Adele, Anna B.
Hawn, Frank d. Turpen and Swain
Crawford. The latest I begin the
erection of homes were John Erickson
and Nh. Thomas. Many local resi-
dents and Philadelphians who recent
ly became the purchasers of lots have
expressed their intention of building
homes in time for mex seasons occu-
pancy and the Harbor will enjoy a
building boom that will be a big credit
to the entire island.
The baby sea turtle, weight $50
pounds, which was on exhibition for
several days at the Harbor, was one of
the attractions at a prominent Chest
nut street cafe during Founders
Week, " in Philadelphia.
The work of bringing the lots at the
end of the Harbor up to grade is now
under way and that particular section
promises to be one of the most popular
parts Of Holly Beach's thriving
suburb.
The machine of the American Dredge
is making fine progress on the Inland
Waterway and will reach the Ottens
Harbor by December LIST.

KEPT A HOUSE FOR BIRDS.
and you love animals. Why don't you
open a summer boarding house for
pets whose owners can't take them to
the country? Think of the people In
this town who don't know what to do
with their animals when they go
away"
That was last season. She took my
advice. All this summer she has kept
a boarding house for birds, cats and
dogs with great success. This winter
she is going to continue 1t In the guise
of q hospital where treatment Of all
kinds necessary for animals may be
obtained from clipping poodles to ex-
terminating feas in the all too luxuri-
Gus fur of an Angora cat. She Is also
agent for different kinds of dog bis
cult and bird food. She supplies pets
fuT commission, md she even teaches
them tricks.
This is q business that pays well,
particularly If a oma lives in her
own house q little way out of the city
limits. As far as that goes, it can be
done in the town itself. There are two
dog and cat hospitals doing a rushing
business In New York. besides a bird
sanitarium" which is renowned far and
wide. JANE WHARTON.

near there and for a time desperate
battle between man and beast was
waged amid the blazing trees.
Deputy Supervisor Walter ]. Morrill,,
well known Denver man, was in
charge of the men in that portion of
the Pixies Peak reserve, and his story
is told in the Denver Times. He says
the animals were driven from their
lairs In the mountains by the intense
smoke, and lack of water made them
savage.
Fifty men were beating out the
flames in narrow strip of timber
with mountains on both sides, when
from around defile came trotting
four lions, half dozen bears and
other wild animals. They paused at
sight of the fifty men, who, though
surprised, decided to stand their
ground.
From the rear came the roar OF the
oncoming flames, cutting off the re-
treat of the animals. Below was
deep ravine, while in front were the
fighters cutting off their one means
OF escape. Several bears started down
the rocky slope. lost their balance and
were dashed to the bottom. The lions
began to advance slowly, but by this
time the men their weapons into play
and several more beasts Joined their
fellows at the bottom of the gulch.
Every forest fire in the reserve has
been finally extinguished. Over 6OO,-
900 feet of timber was burned in the
Elk Creek district and untold damage
done to the watershed there The fire
lasted ten days. The loss at Wood
