FREEH0LDERS' OUTING
Highland Beach the Scene of Their
Feasting and Fun.

Feasting and Fun.
The two hundred members and
guests of the board of freeholders who
went to Highland Beach on the boards
annual outing Wednesday all had a
rousing good time. Those from this
section left on the 1852 train and were
accompanied as far as Newark by
Former Governor Edward G. Stokes
who was given loud farewell at that
station with the aid of small cannon
in the hands Of William Fl. Thompson
and the voices and canes of the excur-
sioniStS. At the foot of Cedar street,
New York, the party was taken by
boat to the Atlantic Highlands station
and from there to the beach by train.
On the boat the party mingled with
the members of the Joel Parker AS
sOciation of Newark, which was on its
way to clambake at Pleasure Bay.
Voss' band accompanied the Newark
ers and gave a concert on the boat.
On it's arrival at the beach the party
was greeted by salute fred from a
cannon on = S. w. Thompson's place
nearby. Mr.. Thompson and his
brother, William III. Thompson, enter
tained many members of the party
with. trips on the Shrewsbury in their
motor boat. A shore dinner was
served at one o'clock at the Surf
House and it included baked CLAIMS,
clam chowder, clam bouillon, baked
fish, lobster, deviled crabs and chicken
with corn and other vegetables on the
side as we'll as liquid refreshments.
Watermelon topped off the repast. A
lot of goodnaUured horseplay was in
dulged in at the beach and everyone
was on the alert constantly not know
ing what moment he would be the
butt of practical joke. The majority
OF the excursioniSt returned here on
the 9:30 train several remaining over
in New York to attend the theatres.
The committee in charge of the af-
fair was r. HI. Burchell. George T.
Allen, Charles Johnson, George f..
Weber and e. D. Neighbour.

A FINE SEASON AT HOPATCONG
An IdeaI Spot for Rest and Recreation
Enjoyed by Many.


Lake Hopatcong is having a very
good season and many persons are en-
joying to the utmost the supurb facili-
ties of this beautiful mountain lake.
The clumsy old side-wheelers have been
relegated. to the morgue, their places
being taken by the launches of the
Bertrand Island Transportation Co.
the Uncle Dan, Richard j and Esther
R. which have earned good money for
the owners this season. There is an
other line running through the lock,
about hundred and fifty motor boats,
and with sail and row boats, canoes,
ETC., the means of transportation is un-
limited. The aquatic cock of the walk
is Inspector RuDyon's Hiu SkookufA
which is classical Injin for "going
some, and with Mrs. R. at the wheel
and Fred. at the engine she certainly
does. The Misses Runyon also have a
small motor boat which they handle
skillfully.
Among the many beauty spots of the
lake none surpass Bertrand Island,
now being developed by the Improve
ment Company. A double row of lots
have been laid out entirely around the
island the centre being reserved for a
park, substantial dock has been
built and next year a new bridge and
road will be constructed, bath houses
put up, etc. A high point on the main
land, commanding magnificent views
up and down thelake, has been select
ed as the site for hotel. The Morris
County Traction Company is extend
ing it's line up that side of the lake and
regular boats call at the dock.
Already three cottages are on the
tract-Messrs. III. A. VanGilder, Fred
Muchmore and A. B. Ayers with their
families being the pioneers. They
have choice location, convenient to
the main road and trolley line, while
Miss Mabel Bower, who has become a
skillful motorboatist, conveys the mer
folks to and from trains. Their cot
tages are of wood with canvas exten
sions of unlimited capacity, each has
a driven well supplying pure water,
and the families are living simple
life that pays big dividends in health
and happiness.
The fishermen do not take kindly tC
the latter day innovations as they say
the fish are shy because of the motor
boats. Persons visiting the lake should
trolley from Dover one way at least az
the route is through pretty section
of country.

Corpse In a soan BOX.

A soap box checked at the parcel
room Of the Lackawanna station at
Dover some days ago caused consider
able speculation as to its contents.
When the man returned to claim his
box, he was asked its contents and re-
piled that it was corpse. He had the
proper board Of health permit, ETC., to
carry the body Of the infant and was
in search of cemetery in which to
bury it. The man and box came from
Franklin Furnace.

PHILIP BERNI1Js.

Philip Bernius died at his home on
Morris street last night, death follow
ing an illness from complication OF
diseases of about eight months stand
ing. He was born in Germany fifty
eight years ago, but came to America
as a young map. He had resided in
Morristown about eighteen years, be-
ing employed for number of years as
chef at Miss Dana's School, leaving
that position twelve years ago to start
a butcher shop which he conducted on
Speedwell avenue up to the time of his
death. He is survived by widow.

Mrs. Bonlface Also Goes.

John X. Boniface is so thoroughly
convinced that the baths at Mt. Glenn
ems are so helpful to him as to be
practically the fountain of perpetual
youth that he makes an annual pill
grimage to the place. Mrs. Boniface
has come to believe the same thing
and at the last moment concluded to
go with her husband when he started
on Friday evening.

RAILROAD NOTES.

The Lackawanna Railroad will or
September l, abolish the Office of For.
eign Freight Agent at New York, and
the jurisdiction of the Terminal and
Lighterage Agent will be extended
over its Foreign Freight Agency in
the Produce Exchange Building. The
work of solicitation of traffic and OF
handling steamship rate quotations
will be handled through the office Of
William Heyman, as Export and I'm.
port Freight Agent. Mr.. Heyman has
been Eastbound Agent of the Lacka.
wanna Line at st. Louis for number
of years.
The Lackavanna mas appealed from
the order of the Interstate Com.
merce Commission that it will allow
connection with the tracks of the Rah-
way Valley r. r. at Summit. One
day last week an engine and dirt car
became derailed near the Lackawanna
and that company thinking something
was happening, sent big freight To-
comotive to Summit, which moved up
and down past where the other road s
engine was all day, and then was kept
standing where the connection was
ordered for the entire night.
William Wheaton, a brakeman on
Conductor Dargavel's express was in
jured in the Hoboken yard on Thurs
day morning. He was walking along
a track and was run into by locomo-
tive which he did not hear because of a
train passing on the adjoining track.
One rib was broken, one of his arms
cut and he was shaken up. He was
brought to his home on Morris street.
The Bernardsville News says -
Among the matters considered by the
coterle of Lackawanna men who
were here on Wednesday, was the SUBJ
stitution of lighter engines to better
correspond with the weight of the rails
on the P. and d. Branch, also that
much-talked-of bridge over the tracks
at the station"
The Lackawanna has posted notices
announcing reduction of 10 per cent.
in the wages of the men at the Keyser
Valley shops, near Scranton. Some 25O
hands were laid off a few days ago, and
the rest threaten to strike.

NEW DISTRICTS AND
NEW RAIL Ways
WESTERN CANADA AFFORDS BET
TER CONDITIONS THAN EVER
FOR SETTLEMENT.

To the Editor - Sir:-Doubtless
many of your readers will be pleased
to have some word from the grain
fields Of Western Canada, where such
large number of Americans have
made their home during the past few
years 1t is pleasing to be able TO re-
port that generally the wheat yield
has been good; 1t will average about
20 bushels TO the acre. There will
be many cases where the yield will go
80 bushels to the acre. and others
where 80 bushels To the acre has
been recorded The oat and barley
crop has been splendid. The prices
OF all grains will bring to the farmers
magnificent return for their labors.
An instance has been brought to my
notice OF a farmer in the Pincher
| Creek (Southern Alberta) district
where winter wheat is grown-who
made net profit Of $19.55 per acre. or
little less than the selling price OF his
land. 80, 40. and SO bushel yields are
recorded there. The beauty about the
lands in Western Canada is that they
are so well adapted to grain-raising.
while the luxuriant grasses that grow
everywhere in abundance make the
best possible feed for fattening cattle
or for those used for dairying pur-
poses.
The new homestead regulations
which. went into force September, 1908,
attracted thousands of new settlers. 1t
is now possible TO secure leo acres in
addition to the 100 acres as q free
grant, by paying $500 an acre for It,
Particulars as to how to do this and
as to the railway rates can be Sc
cured from the Canadian Government
Agents.
The development throughout West
ern Canada during the next ten years
will probably exceed that Of any other
country in the worlds history" is not
the statement OF an optimistic Cana
dian from the banks Of the Saskatche-
wan, but of Mr.. Leslie M. Shaw OF
New York, ex-Secretary of the United
States Treasury under the late Presi-
dent Mckinley and President Roose-
welt, and considered one OF the ablest

railway companies sold good deal
of their land at from three to five dol
lars an acre, and now the owners are
selling the same land at from fifty to
seventy-five dollars, and buying more
