Not for several years at least and
probably not since the building of the
Commonwealth shoe factory in 1897 has
Gardiner and vicinity enjoyed such a
building boom as during the past year
II addition to the building of Gardi-
nar's handsome new playhouse, the
Coliseum, and the erection of the fine
new residences of Mayor Will c.. At
kinS of Gardiner and p. A. HOulehan
of Farmingdale, the moving and re-
building of houses previously built has
re suited in greatly increasing the value
OF real estate There have also been
many minor repairs, the coming of the
trolley extension apparently causing
property owners in general to improve
the general appearances of houses and
stores A very conservative estimate
puts the sum expended in this city and
vicinity in new buildings and repairs
during 1908 at $50115.
First and most important in the list
of new buildings, of course, comes the
playhouse on Church street of the
Gardiner Realty Co, the Coliseum,
perpetuating in somewhat different
type of building the name of the ia
nous old amusement hall on the
Causeway, which decade age made
Gardiner and it's enterprising Board
of Trade famous throughout the State.
Although in a way the new Coliseum
is purely a business enterprise vet the
stock holders comprise the leading bus
mess and professional men of the city,
and the playhouse is one in which all
the citizens of Gardiner take pride. A
full description of it has already been
given in the Journal and it may be
said here !, e 'e@.ne that this play
house, VIII \ A. lts 1890 people and has
one of the best equipped stages in New
England, is thoroughly up to the min

lighted and ventilated and plentifully

| cost of the building and equipment
complete is $4,000. The architect and
builder was Langdon G. Paul.

a mistake and attend school teach
ing one of the old systems, such as
Pitman, Graham and Gregg-they are
too awfully hard to learn, almost i'm

Shorthand, as taught at the Tyler
Commercial College, of Tyler, Texas,
is far superior, more modern in every
way; it is a system that is easy to

youngsters of from to II years o.
age. Where the Pitmanic and other
systems have over 500 rules, almost
500 exceptions and thousands of word
signs to be committed to memory, also
phonetic language to master, the
Byrne Simplified writes the English
language as it is written and spoken
in every day use, with but the 26 let
ters of the alphabet, 10 short rules no
exceptions and 10 word signs to be
memorized

$4,000 FOR A
MONUMENT

The grand jury in session Tuesday
approved of the proposition that Mon
tour county build or assist to build a
monument to the memory of the SOL
diers and sailors of the civil war and
recommended the expenditure of FIVE
thousand dollars for that purpose.
The petition, signed by nearly two
hundred representative citizens, pre-
sented to court on Monday. was sub
mitted to the grand jury for the first
thing in the afternoon session.
Hon. r. S. zimmerman appeared be-
fore the grand jury in behalf of the
petition of the citizens. Frank G..
Schoch, secretary of the soldiers monu-
ment committee, was present as a wit
ness. He exhibited to the grand Jurors
the design of the proposed monument
and testified as to the estimated cost
of the same and the amount of money
already raised to assist in paying for
it.
The action of the grand jury Ielat-
ing to the proposition followed after q
very spirited debate, in which large
number of the members participated.
Mr.. zimmerman made a forceful plea
on behalf of the monument.
Following is the grand jury's report
on the matter:
The grand inquest inquiring for the
county of Montour and having regular
ly before it q petition of fifty or more
| citizens of Montour county praying
that the county of Montour erect and
complete monument in memory of
the soldiers of the late war of the Re-
bellion or to pay debts heretofore con-
tracted for or about the erection and
construction of such monument, after
full and fair hearing to all persons in
terested, this application. by proper
resolution of this inquest, was approved
and it is further recommended that
the sum of five thousand dollars be ex-
pended by the county commissioners
in carrying out this purpose of the
citizens signing said petition.

Corn and Tom lJoes.

U)rn anu lom ltOeS,
1t was asserted that the late cold
Spring of 1907 would. mean poor
tomato crop, but the lateness of frost
in the fall enabled the tomatoes to
ripen aud give the largest pack on
record. In Maryland more than 8, 900,
900 cases were packed last year, more
than oue-third of tine total tomato
pack of the United States. Second
came Delaware, with 1900, 600 cases; /;
then California, Indiana and the two
Virginias. All these packed upwards
of 900 900 cases each, aud New Jersey
packed 9l4, 900, no other State reach
ing half million The total for the
United States was II 920, lS5 cases,
compared with 9.074 800 cases in 1896.
Canada's pack amounted to only 525,
600 cases in 1907, against 725 600 in
1S96-further evidence of the chilli
ness of the summer in the north. The
grand total tomato pack in the United
States and Canada for 1907 was 49,
445, 1856 cases which was an increase of
81 per cent. over the pack of the pre-
ceding year, the latter being the tritie
above the average,
To offset the increase III the tomato
pack, there was a serious shortage in
the corn pack, which amounted to only
1000, 044 cases against g. Sol, 600 cases
in 1906
How far the short pack of canned
corn will operate to stiffen the price
of that article and thus nullify its
competition with canned tomatoes
how far the general trade depression
will cut down the pressure for canned
vegetables, necessitating the lowering
of prices to effect sales-no one can at
present predict.
The fact that there will be plenty
of canned tomatoes at reasonable
prices, will be welcomed by house
holders ana all concerned in the pur-
chase of table SUPPLIES, for canned to-
matoes are very generally relished and
have become a staple articlelof Ameri-
can fare.
