Last spring good many people failed
to have knowledge of Arbor Day because
no proclamation was made by the Cover
nor as had been the custom. The procla-
nation was not made, and will not be
made this year, because the law now pro-
vides that in New Jersey the first Friday
in May in each year shall be designated
| and observed as Arbor Day. The obser-
vance this year will therefore be on May
9th and the State Forester urges that it
be made an occasion to emphasize the
special needs of this State with respect to
Its forests.
When Nebraska started Arbor Day back
In the seventies, the school children
planted trees and the older people plant
ed trees because the State had few forests.
and trees were needed to protect the
homes against sun and wind, to furnish
lumber and frewood, and to civilize the
newly established communities This was
logical and right, but New Jersey has
never had the same need We once had
too much forest and still have quite enough
such as it is, We need more shade trees.
OF course, and in some localities may well
have more forests, yet our chief aim
should be rather to improve what we
have than to strive for more. The State
is fortunate in having a great area of
woodland on which are at once the rem
nants and the germs of valuable forests.
The land that needs to be planted is com
paratively insignificant.
New Jerseys problem is forest fires
Year after year they ravage the woods,
destroy the young trees and impoverish
the soil. These must be stopped or all
hope of better forests be given up. That
they can be stopped, or at least controlled,
Is proven by the experience of other
nations. The task is no easy one, for
whole people must be educated and the
habits OF generations be broken up, yet
the record of the Forest Commission for
the past three years shows steady pro-
gress. Let the children be taught that
every forest fire, no matter how slight, is
harmful because it destroys the young
trees. and because IL robs the soil of the
food-the decayiug leaves, twigs and bits
OF bark, upon which the old trees as well
as the young ones live. A fire set thought
lessly in dry grass field may, often does,
run into the woods and do great damage. |
Let all the people know that 10 no way
can forestry be so advanced as by uphold
ing and Strengthening the forest fire
service which aims to stop these burnings.
The state has two hundred fire wardens,
1t needs more; it has three hundred miles
OF wide fire lines. it needs ten times as
much; 1t must haYe above all the active
support, not merely the passive good
will, of every man, woman and child. If
Arbor Day shall give this it will have &C.
complishei as much for New Jersey as it
has for Nebraska, or can accomplish for
any State.

Base Bail

Mount Holly had several candidates for
membership Oh the team present them
selves on Saturday. Among them were
some of last years men. Fred Perkins
was on hand; Lindsay, second base, was
there, also Charley Peacock. The balance
were new men. Logan. the former county
league player, was tried at shortstop, He
is still all right. Against the Mount
Holly players were pitted the Uontinenta
Field club, but 1t was a quite an uneven
game. the regular team having nothing very
strenuous to do. 1t is quite likely that
some of those who applied for positions
will not be found fast enough.
Wolfrom played with the Continentals
and he did just what has been suggested
many times. He hit and run and that eff
fort counted. Many times there have
been several chances thrown away simply
because the men at bat failed to run
quickly.
Harry Gleason will probably go to York,
Pa, and 1t is reported the fans are crazy
to see him. If Harry has not improved
over his form when he played the last
game with Mount Holly last year the fans
may be crazy at his performance
Manager Bowker, of Medford, was IN
Mount Holly, on Saturday, looking Ut
over. He is getting a team together
Thus far he has Hopkins, catcher; Cald
well. pitcher; Ogden, h.; Schoenut, 2b.
Hoffman, 3d.; Braddock. S.; Hafner, If
For the other positions he has some very
good material to choose from and he will
have strong team in the field.
Those who went to the Mount Holly
ball field on Saturday were greatly
pleased with the Improvements that have
been made, especially with the fence tina
has been put up and which will proven
the spectators from crowding on to thu
field.

A New Hotel.

! Richard Lamb has awarded the contract
for building his new hotel to Richmond &
Vennell, of Moorestown. and work was
begun on Thursday when the tearing
down of the old building was started.
There were many people around looking
at the establishment of this old building
that has been one of Mount Holly's famil.
lar places for long time. Among them
was Joseph Wills, of Rancocas, who can
remember when he. as boy, visited the
place with his father. The first landlord
he remembers was John West, who was
succeeded by Lewis Coate Stockton, Stacy
B. Csmpion, @. Morgan Lippincott, JOS
eph Regan, Benjamin W. Zelley and
Richard Lamb.
There is certain amount of sympathy
that attends the tearing down of old land
marks but improvement cannot be stayed
and when Mr.. Lamb gets through with
his building operations he will have the
most complete hotel In the county.
1t will occupy the same lot that the
present structure has stood upon. All of
the frame building will go down. The
new hotel will be of brick-red and black
similar to those in the residence of
Blanchard 81. White, opposite to the
hotel. The building will be three stories
high with the main entrance on High
street. The front door will open into an
exchange. the Office being on the opposite
side, on the corner of High and Water
streets, The dining room will be back of
the exchange and will be larger than the
present quarters. The billiard and pool
tables will be discarded and the bar will
put In the space they now occupy.
There will be banquet room on the
second floor, and there will be 81 bed
rooms, four of which will have bathrooms
attached, and there will be five bath
rooms for the convenience of the other
guests, with plenty of toilet rooms
throughout the house.
The contract calls for the completion of
the building in 100 working days from
the time the tearing down was commenced,
which will bring the date up to about the
first of September.
No operation has created as much inter-
est as the tearing down of the old hotel
and there have been many spectators and
considerable discussion about when the
house was first built. Nothing tangible
on that point can be discovered. 1t Is
said the building was first a private resi-
dence, being occupied by Adam Farquar
and then by Aquila Shinn. The first per-
son to use 1t as hotel is recorded as
Elisha Jewell. Then follow the names of
Gilbert Earl, Montgomery Polhemus.

Wildes, Capt. John Gardiner. Griffith

This information is secured from the his
tory of Burlington county, but there ap-
pears to have been one name overlooked
The father of James Anderson kept the
Washington House before the court house
was built, and that was in 1906 The
frame part that is being torn down is sup
posed to be the original house. The brick
addition on Water street was built by
Joseph Regan.
