Lewiston-Spurred by the signal
success Of the Greer Rochdale com
pany, a cooperative warehouse organ
izstion, farmers all over the Lewiston
country. through their unions, are
planning to build houses at practically
every station from which grain is
shipped. The Greer company paid a
handsome dividend besides cutting the
warehouse charges almost 80 per cent
and offering trine more for grain
than the old buyers.
Several locals will combine and build
a warehouse at some convenient sta
ton and members deliver their grain
at their own houses. They put up the
houses in sections and the farmers get
the identical grain they store. Ware
houses will be built in Vollmer, Nez
Perez, Grangeville, Cottonwood and at
several other stations. As soon as the
farmers are thoroughly organized, with
chain of warehouses in the producing
field, the combined unions of the
Northwest will enter the terminal field
with warehouses at the coast cities.

Coincident with the passage of

was devised in Pleasantville by
which the money could be used

to be the source of an additional
burden. We are paying increased
railroad fare, increased taxes and
being debarred from Atlantic City

WANTS CHEAPER SCHOOLS

Mr.. Editor
In the controversy-.between Mr.
Marsteller and Mr.. Helfrich rela
tive to the schools, does not ont
thing appear very plain, and tha
is, that the pupils of our schools
wishing to study in the higher
grades in Atlantic City are to b
debarred unless their tuition is tt
be privately paid? As the public
schools are maintained to help The
poor rather than the rich, is not
the establishment Of high school
course in Pleasantville detriment
rather than a benefit, both as to ad-
vancement in education and to the
taxpayer9
| take it that grades required to
establish a high school were intend
ed only for the richer and more
populous cities. The few pupils
who would wish to go from the less
populous districts, and who desire
to advance to a college course,
could attend these city schools,
having their tuition and transpor-
tation paid by the State, From

school. In population Atlantic
City is about ten times as large as
Pleasantville. In attendance at
school there are about ten times
more. In the number of teachers
employed they have only about
seven times as many (they seem
to practice economy. Atlantic
City has about ten times the bond

this, and TO help support their

TAXPAYERS UP in
ARMS--PETITION
200 Signers Demand
Shore Road I'm
provenent

If the councilmen Of Pleasant
vile wish to read the handwriting
on the wall, which says that the
people are tired of the chickering's
of year after year, resulting in the
same old story-non-a activity
fhey had their opportunity at last
Monday nights session. A peti-
ton was presented, which was
headed with resolution passed al
a recent meeting of the Citizens
League, deprecating the deplorablo
condition Of Shore Road. The III
strument also called upon the May
or and Coumcilnen to take speedy
action that will secure the Road \
improvement. Two hundred an,i
ninety tax payers signed the pcti-
ton, and a goodly number were
present at the Council meeting, to
add weight to their request.
Mayor Sooy appointed The
street committeeman, who arr
Messrs. Price, Conover and SEQ
field, to confer with the Citizens
League and former solicitor Ash
mead on last Wednesday night, al
the Lake u Risley Co.'S Office. Thu
Mayors reason for doing this was
a remote fear that borough medd
ling might III some way entan9lt
lawyer Ashmead's case against
the Suburban Traction Company.
At the Wednesday nights con
ference the Citizens League com
mitteemcn presented figures whicl
show the approximate cost of pay
ing the street from end to end and
from curb to curb, but before 90
ing much deeper into the matter,
Mr.. Ashmead advised conference
on next Monday evening between
the Mayor and councilmen, the
Citizens League and Mr.. Robert
Wetherill, who represents the bond
| holders of the Suburban.
Mr.. l.. III. Barrett was also pres.
ent at Wednesday nights confab,
| and he advanced the opinion that,
| if the Suburban should meet the
borough on even terms or, pay one
half the expense of placing the
Shore Road i'll passable condition,
| the citizens might be willing to
bond the town for the latter's share
of the work.
| Superintendent Gale, of the
Suburban, was unfavorable to such
a proposition, aud the talk pro and
con brought forth remark from
| Mr.. Byron Rogers, to the effect
that, if the railroad company does
not agree to a reasonable PROPOSE
ton from the people, Or if it does
not comply with the provisions OF
its ordinance, the angered citizens
will surely tear up the tracks, close

IRVING OBJECTS
TO ROAD METHODS
It IS Expensive to Say
the least, He
Says

The weather on Wednesday was
mIlder than on the previous day,
but between the hours of eleven
and twelve o'clock, the tempera-
ture at Memorial Hall in Atlantic
City was hot.
Lively discussions between the
treeholders, who met for usual
business, broke the routine of the
meeting. The subject Of roads .oc-
cupled most of the business.
The Road Committee proposed
the purchase of traction engine
and road wagons for the better
repairing Of county highways. At
this boomerang the majority Of
the Freeholders lifted their heads
and emitted various forms of
speech. Finally committee was
appointed to advertise for bids for
the machine.
When Chairman E. Robinson
arose to have speech, his suave
manner seemed to still the troubled
"
waters. he quietly suggested the
lessening Of expense to the county
IN procuring gravel, if the proper
apparatus was used. This sooth-
ed the rutHed emotions Of the Free
holders, and it was decided to
squeeze out a few dimes from
money appropriated for road use,
$4,000 being kept in storage for
this purpose.
One Freeholder, who lives in
Atlantic City, expressed himself to
the effect that everybody knew
more about roads than the commit
tee themselves.
Mr.. Irving pointed out some de-
fects and disadvantages in the me
thod of securing gravel in Pleas
antville. After considerable dis
cussion and grinding Of teeth, it
was proposed to lay the question
on the table and chang up" indie
fnitely. As it was nearly every
mans lunch hour this proposition
was cheerfully seconded and carri-
ed.
A slight war cloud arose between
Mr.. Irving and Director Doughty
in reference to roll call. It soon
passed, however, and Mr.. Doughty
maintained his dignity.
Freeholder Bourgeois was muab
interested in advancing the furtK
er development of the road be-
tween Mays Landing and Tucka-
hoe. He at least desired that the
route be surveyed.
The Road Committee consider
ed inasmuch as the two proposed
roads between Germania and Port
Republic, also Nor.hfeld and En-
glish Greek, were scheduled for
building this year, no addedj busi-
ness should be undertaken.
The survey will, however, be
made and Mr.. Bourgeoise scored
his point.
The Solons then said goodbye
to their dying cigars, got into their
overcoats, pulled on digniied faces
and fled forth in the open air to
feed the 'Sinner man" and forget
for the time, public tribulations.

AT THE SIGN Of THE PRESS


SO far no defined plan has been
offered by the business men and
others interviewed regarding a
place for the boys. A luke-warm
interest has been manifested by
some, keen interest shown and
practical efforts made by special
body of women, while others give
no heed to other than themselves,
apparently resting III the thought
that each individual can live indc-
pendent of the other. A grave
mistake and the entertainment OF
such fallacious view of life ulti-
mates in much wrong and fiercely
reacts upon those who take this mar
row, selfish view.
1t has now been demonstrated
that several kinds of commercial
enterprises find fertile ground in
Pleasantville upon which to thrive.
1t is ready for an increase of busi-
ness, but the suitable buildings III
the center are not to be had.
One or more of our business
men might combine and build
block, with stores on the ground
floor, to be rented for various pur-
poses, the second floor devoted to
the use of town boys, and men also,
for it is the prevalent belief that
the boys will follow the men. Cage
the leaders and you have the cubs.
A club, with graduated steps or
promotion, such as juniors, inter
mediate and seniors might be In
stituted. The same process of pay
ment of fees to be followed and the
organization could be Immediately
be placed upon paying basis. In
these rooms should be placed facilia-
ties for physical and mental exer
cises, games requiring skill and var
ious amusements, a library witt
current literature and a lvceum
A department devoted to the inves-
tigation, study and practice of
music and art in its various forms.
together with practical work, coulG
all be Incorporated. A room dc
voted to gymnastics, indoor ball and
polo, another fitted up with billiard
and pool tables and other games
Special features could be made Of
Ladies' Nights a fee for en-
trance, and the entire combination
could be made feature of interest
and self-supporting institution.
As Rev. Mr.. Speakman suggest
ed, the organization should elini-
nate all sectarian features. Tho
project should have for its basic
principle, ethical, mental and ply
sical development. With such
sound foundation the soul devel
opment would find a healthy oppor
tunity for growth.
1t is now up to>the business men
toconsider this simple plan.
Another visit, or more, perhaps
will be made by some representa-
tive of the The Press to further
prosecute the work commenced
some time since.
The Pleasantville Press, lik,
most country newspapers, is not
overburdcned with cash. Its desir,
is to aid in every public enterprise,
and especially this one in every
practical way consistent W ith it,
ability. If every other citizen will
make equal effort something useful
will develop. Now join and unite
III real work, which means more for
the future years than for the pres
ent period.
Our boys must be saved, Tho
good name of qHr town preserved,
authority and dignity upheld.
The effort suggested, will accom-
plish such an end.

appeared to be ignored probably owing to the small accounts outstanding at the stock exchange The closing up of these accounts was followed by the late rise, however.
 Further engagements of gold for ex- port to South America gave color to the estimates of large additions to the move ment. The outgoing tide of travel to Eu- rope figures in the international ex- change market effectively at this sea- son, owing to the large sums in money or credits carried by travellers. Discounts were reported easier in London and Paris. The resumption of the publication of weekly bulletins by the weather bureau received some attention in view of the high importance attached to crop chances at this time. Weather news was regard ed as promising for crop prospects and the renewed strength manifested In the wheat market was attributed to specula tive conditions there rather than crop news.
 Reports of restoration of wages which have been recently cut by some of the independent steel companies made good impression and strengthened the belief In the progress of improvement in that trade. The belated rise in United States Steel gave the market the only semblance of animation 1t enjoyed at any time during the day and had the effect of making the closing strong.
