GOOD News
DISCUSSED
CITIZENS OF ONE MIND IN RE
JOGGING OVER THE PEARL HAIR
Dor BILL.

The favorable report from Wash
ington, regarding the bill for Pearl
Harbor, has caused a good deal OF
talk about town relative to the good
that will come to the Territory by
the measure.
Every one has very optimistic
view on the subject, and nearly ev-
cry one that has been approached on
the subject feels that Hawaii has a
great deal to be thankful for, provid-
ing that the bill passes the Senate.
p. &C. Jones, in speaking this morn
ing on the subject, stated that it was
one of the best things that has ever
happened here since the islands have
been under the American flag.
1--WE are going to see the benefit
in any number of ways" he contin-
ued, business is going to increase,
real estate is going to be on the boom.
A large number of good American
citizens are coming to help build the
station, and we will see the good in
many different forms.
81 think that we should have such
station here, as we are miles away
from the mainland, and in the event
of any trouble with foreign power
we will be protected, as the Navy de
partment is bound to keep some ships
here all the time. l have always felt
that we would get the appropriation
in the end, but it has come sooner
than l expected.
Il think that the Rapid Transit
Co. will have to build line there to
take care of the people who will live
here in town, but who will be down
at Pearl Harbor during the day
There are many acres of land that
are not being used at present, that
will be, built on just as soon as the
operations of building commence.
1T will mean large additional
white vote here, as the men who are
employed in the Navy yards are al
ways very much interested in poll.
tics. l think that Hawaii has a good
deal to be thankful for in many ways
oyer this good news about Pearl Har
Dor, and the sooner the work starts
the better it will be for every one
James f. Morgan, President of the
Chamber of Commerce, in talking
about the matter this morning re
marked: Il have always thought thai
we were going to get the appropria
ton, and l think that the different
commercial bodies in Honolulu, as
well as our many friends away wht
have helped us, deserve a good dea
of credit.
| There have been many obstacles
to overcome in Congress, but whel
you realize that only one dissenting
vote was heard, it speaks very wei
for the way people away feel toward
Hawaii.
Our Delegate in Washington
Prince Cupid, our representatives il
Washington, F. NJ Hatch, the Presid
ent, Secretary Straus and many 9th
ers have made up their minds to have
Pearl Harbor, and they have won {
wonderful victory.
Business is going to feel the re
suit of the bill just as soon as the
work is started, and I think that il
every way Hawaii is going to realize
that she has won great victory"

Several women of Iwilei, alarmed
when the talk of closing Iwilei first
started, recently moved out and started
a place on King street near the Wal
kiki turn. The police, following up
complaints, arrested them, but there
are others who have sought other
places and are difficult to locate. They
may be found when respectable neigh
bors complain, if they are noticed. 1t
is hard to find them when they get
scattered, is the experience of the

COasfing In Pdlisdde.

Bride Way, the street with the ro
mantle name and the Overhanglng trees
in summer time, has been the busiest
thoroughfare in all Palisade these Win
ter days, as we'll as the merriest one.
Hither have hied all the youngsters and
youths and maidens of Palisade, both
morning, noon and night, for the bully
coasting it has afforded. The declivity
from the trolley tracks in Washington
avenue to the level stretch beyond
Dearborn road has offered a rare
chance for the bobsleds and flexible
Ayers of all sizes. The crisp air has
resounded with the shouts of the coast
ers every bright afternoon and the full
moon has beamed down on many a
Jolly party as the silver orb rose behind
the gaunt trees on the cliff edge. To
see the youngsters go down belly
whacker' shouting to clear the track
and then trudge laughing up the hill to
start all over again is to renew ones
all over again And to see the rosy
checked girls speeding down clinging
laughingly to each other in their wild
flight is as pretty a picture as one would
want to see in Palisade or anywhere else
for that matter.
The flexible flyer class of youngsters
has made some great records on that
hill There are Paul and Jim Binner,
Allan Carson, Randolph Brown, Arthur
Temple, Master Wheeler, Estey Flagg,
James Wolcott, Master Buckley and
half a dozen others who have beaten
their own Shedding records over and
over again.
OF the grown-ups, Berney Brady,
Charles Logan and George Frew have
been the leaders, and of the young
ladies, oh, well, they are all SO pretty
and all such graceful coasters that we
dare not single out any one by name for
fear of jealousy.
Yes, coasting in Palisade has been the
one great attraction of the whole winter

Cheering Her Up.

A young lady living in Atlanta visited
the home of her fiance in New Orleans
On her return home an old negro
nanny" long in the service of the
family and consequently privileged to
put the question, asked:
Honey, when is you goin' to git mar
ried?"
The engagement not having been
announced, the Atlanta girl snilingly
replied:
Indeed, can't say, auntie. Perhaps
l shall never marry"
The old woman's jaw fell
''Ain't dat pity, nowP she said, and
after reflection she added consolingly
'Dey do say dat ole maids is de, hap
piest critters dey is, once dey quits
strugglin'"

Letter To PaIisade Supply Co.

Dear Sir: If you could get the ex-
elusive sale of a .sweeter sugar Tor tive
miles round-1alb as sweet as pound
of usual sugar, and cost no more-you'd
jump at it, wouldn't you?
There wouldn't be 100 lb of any other
sugar sold in a year in your town;
you'd gobble the trade and it wouldn't
hurt your whole business
Devoe is like that among paints; it is
twice as sweet as some; it is sweeter
than any; not one exception; one gal
lon is two or one-and-a-half or one-and-
three-quarters
Better than that; paint has to be
painted; that costs 81 to 81 a gallon.
A gallon saved is 81 to 81 saved in
labor, besides the paint
Even that isn't all. A gallon Devoe
put-on wears as long as two gallons put
on at a cost of s. to 81 gallon and two
gallons more put-on at s. to 81 a gallon.
Count all that The paint that wears
double costs less by 3 gallons of paint
and 3 gallons of painting; that's about
SIS a gallon for those superhuous gal
Ions
That's as good as a doublesweet
sugar, isn't it?
Yours truly

The Hudson River Realty Company
and the Central Land Company
Planning to Get Very Busy Early
in the Coming Spring Season.

Indications point to a lively spring and
summer season in Palisade, and al
along the North Jersey section. In Pal
SADIE the Hudson River Realty Compan
will continue its development, and by
next fall hopes to have Palisade avenue
so completed that the trolley line to
Fort Lee will be graded down to proper
level and can run over the new route
thus moving the present roadbed over to
the layout according to the map. 1t IS
said that the cliff front wilkathis spring
receive its finishing touches, and that
the east portion of PaliSade along the
river will begin to look like the real end
of business development. There are
many roads to construct, gas and water
mains to put down, and a great deal OF
work done in opening UP the east front.
When finished this will be a most de-
sirable section, and should attract good
class of residents.
To the west, in the number two sec
ton of Palisade, there is going to be a
tremendous amount of work done, IN
Guiding grading, paving of sidewalks
with fagstones, and construction of a
series of attractive houses. Plans are
under way for the building of about a
dozen houses on the Western Slope as
a starter, and it should not take long to
see things taking shape over there in
manner calculated to inspire the be-
holder. Unquestionably Mr.. Douglas has
a fine property in hand there, and it
should force the selling Sof lots like the
proverbial "hot cakes system of moving
things.
To the north, at Palisade North, Mr.
w. w. Slocum will begin a season of
great activity with his more moderate
priced lots There will be lot of grad
ing done, laying of gas and water mains
and considerable building Being ad
jacent to two car lines, this should prove
one of the most inviting portions of the
Palisade property, and a selling off of the
lots is looked for in a spirited demand
All in all, the best judges all say this
season should be grand one in every
sense The easing up of the money mar
ket will relieve the situation and things
will move far more smoothly than last
fall, when the bottom fell out in all di-
rections The outlook is promising to a
degree, and little publicity will put
things to rights as they should be.
With all of the advantages of Palisade
and its inviting location, its ease of
access, and incompatible attractions,
property here must go ahead with rising
values commensurate with the overflow
and expansion of New York

Opening Of The M'adoO Tunnel
Great Benefit To Bergen County.

The opening of the Hudson tunnels
on the 25th was a great event, not only
for New Jersey, but for New York as
we'll. The enterprise is a great deal
bigger than the present subway system
of New York as to permanent cost, out
ranking it by nearly 100 per cent.
Falisade and all the North Jersey sec
ton along the cliff front are deeply in
terested in this great work. If the
North Jersey trolley line will only run
through cars it can have ninety per cent
of all Palisade daily by the new route
Something ought to be done in this dl-
rection. and doubtless will be.
The boon to Bergen county by the
tunnel completion is bound to be large.
and must increase values here by man.
millions within a short time. Every
thing within half an hours run OF 1o-
boken will go up in price like rocket
and we may expect to see unprecedent
ed activity within the next few weeks
There are already large realty comp
MES in the field, but these must multiply,
for the acreage within feeding distance
to the tunnel is enormous, amounting
to many thousand acres i'll Bergen
county alone, of the most attractive
property AS for land values in Hobo
ken and Weehawken, look out They
must go bounding sky high. This i.
natural, as the tunnels link New Jerse
as closely as Brooklyn is Tapped by
bridges The people here have not fully
awakened to the real benefits from the
Hudson bore 1t came too suddenly,
though it was long expected. The real
ization has caused New Jersey to be
come dazed, and when the shock wears
away action will be begun upon scale
of staggering magnifcence, boom that
will put to blush the palmiest days of
the Bronx and Long Island. In the
meantime, Palisade is just in the right
position to get the very cream of this
overflow New York is going to pour
into New Jersey and scatter along the
Palisade section. Palisade should be
alive to the situation and make its ap
peal quickly. 1t can attract capital and
people of the right sort and there is
every reason to believe that it will not
fail to realize on the opportunity.

Spontaneous Combustion

A good story leaked out here yes
terday about the recent target prac-
tice at Fort Stevens, when the mortar
batteries were put through their
pace. The tremendous guns gave off
reports and conclusions peculiarly
their own, and the guests who hap
pened to be present had some queer
experiences The shock Of the blasts
cut the flowers off at the earth they
stood in, the grass bowed itself before
the fierce disturbances set up by the
discharges; mems coats were unbut-
toned and hat were anywhere but
where they were supposed to be. One
OF the ladies present had the remark
able experience Of having her over
skirt drop to the ground at one Of the
explosions, and she was perfectly un-
cosncious of it until the reverbera-
tons ceased and she stopped watch
ing the flight Of the shells. Then she
quietly picked up the truant garment
and fastened it safely, but left the
grounds before another mortar was
discharged.

Mentally Deranged-

Frank Beckman, while apparently
demented, created some little excite
ment in Uniontown yesterday morn
ing and was taken into custody by
Deputy Archie Mclean. Beckman is
probably the same man who has been
seen in the neighborhood of Warren
ton and Hammond the past few days,
where his strange actions frightened
the residents. 1t is probable that
Beckman walked into the city Friday
night, appearing in Union yesterday
morning. 1t was at once seen that
his mind was affected and telephone
message was sent to the sheriff's
Office. Deputy Sheriff Mclean an
swered the call. and while going out
after the man, saw him riding in the
rear OF delivery wagon He jumped
into the wagon and told the man that
he was wanted at the court house,
whereupon Beckman made wild leap
out of the vehicle. He fell on his
face but was not injured Later at
the county Jail he gave his name and
other facts. He has been working
on the jetty, and apparently his men
tai arrangement may be traced to
intoxicants, Beckman was taken be-
fore Judge Trenchard, who deemed it
best to hold the man in the county,
Jail for few days to see if he does
not get better.

Judge Mcbride Leaves

The term Of circuit court in Calf
sop county came to an end yesterday
afternoon, though no formal adjourn
ment was taken for the reason that
Judge Mcbride expects to come to
Astoria sometime in July Therefore
the term was kept open. There are
few matters yet to be considered,
though probably they will not take
more than day or so Judge Nc
Bride left on the evening train for
Hillsboro to hold court there. Be
cause of the fact that there are four
counties in his district, Judge Nc
Bride is kept very busy all the time
and he is worked much harder than any
other circuit Judge in the state. 1t is
we'll understood that the next legis-
lature will in all probability either
divide the district, or else arrange for
the election Of another Judge to take
up a portion OF the work.
