pointed to visit Roxbury and Gyp-
sum in the interest Of the plan.
The work of incorporation will be
pushed at once and the prospects
are for speedy promotion of the line.
I II am donating my time to this
organization work" said Mr.. Nichol-
son to. the Reflector this afternoon,
"and / expect every man who is Sc
lected to represent his city or. town
In the promotion Of this undertaking
to do the same thing. 1t ID to be, /
hope q mutual railroad which will
benefit all the cities and towns alike.
No one town would be benefited
more than another.
'The idea is to have a road that
will serve the needs Of the farmers
in marketing their provisions. II
the farmer wants to transport his
products to a town at distance Of
say 10 or Is miles, all he would have
to do Is to step out and signal the
train which would stop at any place
and at any time.
II am satisfied that the land own
ers along the route of the proposed |
line would be glad to donate the right
of way, after the benefits Of such q |
road have been pointed out to them. |
This will be a road which will be
operated in the interests Of those
who are interested, and those who |
are not interested will be passed up" |
According to Mr.. Nlchoison's ideas
the following towns should have each |
one representative on the board Of d.
rectors for the organization work:
Gypsum, Roxbury, Canton, Doles
Park, Gossel, Spring Valley. Bethel,
Abilene, Salina, Newton two each.

pleted during the last two years, and
those now under construction between
New York and its suburbs, will exceed
in cost the expenditures for similar pur
poses OF the preceding hundred years
his fact means that the era of tun-
neling and bridging has only just be-
gun The success of tunneling under
the Hudson River has been demon
strated through the practical completion
of three tunnels connecting New Jersey
with Manhattan Island--one at Cort-
landt street. the second at Morton
street, and the third at Ihirty-second
street The next most logical tapping
of Manhattan Island under the Hudson
will be at its greatest uptown artery
which is I25th street-immediately op
posite Palisade.
Of all the blessings of life is any
thing more important than perfect
health? Why does the mortality in the
street cleaning department of New York
far exceed that in other occupations?
Away from the germ laden dust of the
city and far above it stands Palisade
in stratum of pure, dry air, where
the tender child may build up rugged
constitution and healthy mind. There
is no large body of land around New
York having a finer natural drainage
than this property, and our sewer syS-
TEN is faultless.

FIREMEN'S CONTEST.
Rockland County Fair at Orangeburg
N. Y, Next Fall, Offers $500
in Prizes

The Rockland County Fair at
Orangeburg, n. Y, has announced a
grand Firemen's Contest to take place
September 6 next The contestants
must come from Rockland and Ber-
gen Counties. The conditions are as
follows:
I. Hose Contest: $Ioo in cash for
hose company covering half mile on
track and laying 400 feet of hose from
an imaginary hydrant in shortest time.
Horses not allowed.
2 $1,000 in cash for the best APP
pearing company passing in review
before the grand stand. Especial at
tention given to bearing, neatness and
general appearance in Judging, with
or without horses.
3. $1,000 in cash for company Civ
ing the best exhibition drill before
the grand stand.
4. $500 in cash for Hook and
Ladder Company without horses, COW
ering half mile in shortest time and
erecting three ladders at least 10 feet
long. including extension ladder over
10 feet long, against an imaginary
building, from given point to a
given point
). $1,000 for engine company COW
cring one-half mile in best time from
a given point to a given point, with
out horses, and coupling to an mag
mary hydrant.
6. $1,000 for company, any kind
hose, steamer or hook and ladder.
covering one-half mile in shortest
time with horses, from given point
to a given point.
I. $4,000 for the best pair of fire
horses hitched to apparatus, passing
in general review before the grand
stand.
The committee expects every COM
pany i'll both counties to enter, in
which event Palisade would have two
entries.
The one chief objection to the con
tests is the distances Half a mile is
an unconscionable distance for I'M
trained tiremen to run with a reel
One hundred yards, or one hundred
and fifty at the furthest, would be
sufficient, with the former short dis
tance being best by all odds. A half
mile run proves nothing 1t is liza
bic to do much harm
The coming summer will offer
ample time for practice, and our boys
should enter by all means.

Irestte.
An unknown negro man, about
40 years old, was found Yesterday
morning In an unconscious con-
dltion and apparently dying be-
meath the trestle on the Southern
just beyond Bear creek west of
town. He was badly bruised and
bleeding at the mouth. He was
carried to the house of Essex Pat
terson near by. 1t is not known
how he was hurt, but it is thought
that he was walking the trestle
and fell, the distance to the
ground being about 20 feet.
Sheriff Hunter went out to see
the negro soon after he was found.
The sheriff searched the mans
pockets with the hope of finding
something with which to identi-
fy him. The pockets contained
a piece of tobacco, $3.50 In cash
and the following note, written
with pencil:
