rIonterey.V Friday, Aug S, 1910

Prospects for the southwark eX-
tension of the MISREPRESENTATION
are bright, and the rumors are
gratifyingly persistent. There is
reason to believe that silent inter-
ests are at WORKSHOPS in them
selves more encouraging than small
subscriptions and railroad en-
thusiasts are hopeful of early devel-
opments. No matter at which
point it should decide to tap the Z.
& O., Highland would be crossed,
and that would be glory for the en-
tire county.
Until actual work is begun, the
mention of q railroad, or the publ
cation of any predictions will al
ways cause a smile to play ovrr the
facial anatomy of the increduiouS,
vet visitors to the county declare
that development and rapid transit
are just as certain to come to lis rs
the tax-gatherer. A climate such
az ours is bound to be made Access
sible and shared by the sweltcrIng
thousands who are learning OF 1t
and telling of it abroad. These
same visitors assert that we who
live here are not in a position to
appreciate this feature the incom-
parable summer climate and that
this alone is magnet of sufficient
strength.
One gentleman from the rich
state of Pennsylvania, who spent a
week in the town, ridiculed the
"heart-sickness" incident to "de-
ferred hope" stating that in his
own county, which resembled ours
in that it was rough and billy, the
people talked and were promised a
railroad for fifty years before 1T
came. Now they have an excel
lent trolly system, and frankly adj
mitted that our attractions were
far superior.
Another enthusiastic, mid-sum-
mer visitor expressed the wish that
he had a home and a business here,
where he felt that he could Give
forever.
This sort of fattery goes down
all right. Our friends are volun-
tarily advertising us and that fol
which we receive greatest praise we
havein greatest abundance--enough
to share with all who come; beyond
the reach of combines, defies the
trusts and spectators, and cannot
be "cornered."
Highlands course in the past is
a guarantee of her Endorsement OF
anything tangible along the line OF
developing her resources, and the
fact that she has been the victim OF
misplaced confidence, and her peo-
pie dubbed "gullible," many of us
still haye our ear to the ground
and are ready to welcome the first
encouraging noise.

into a Ridley Park house dirty, dis
reputable looking dog. He was OF no
particular breed. but general mix
ture of all there are. Out of the kind
ness of her heart the cook gave him a
few bites to eat. and from that time
on, try as they would, the family could
not get rid of the canine. The small
children took a great fancy to the dog
and named him BLUE. Their father
and mother grew tired of seeing BLUE
around and secretly plotted to get him
out of the way. They feared to kidnap
him openly by day, for there would
surely follow much protest and distress
on the part Of the children. According

ALLEGED STOCK
JUGGLING SUIT
AIRED IN COURT
Effort to Have Sugar Firm Dis
solved Is Put Over Until.
Next Week.

The affairs of the Jucaro and Moron
Sugar and Land Company. owners and
operators OF a number of large sugar
plantations in Cuba, We're touched on
this morning by Nice-Chancellor Howell
on the return of a rule to show cause
Why a receiver should no he appointed
and the company dissolved. The Pratt
Engineering and Machine Company, OF
Georgia, holder of a large part of the
capital stock, is the complainant, and
alleges a juggling of stock.
The ground stated TO support the
corporation owed the State of New Jer-
sey $4,000 for taxes, and that in Janu-
airy 90 last the Governor, by his an
nual proclamation, forfeited its charter.
John r. Hardin and James Mulligan
appeared for the defendant, while Ar
thur Egner, for the firm of McCarter
& English, represented the complainant.
Mr.. Hardin stated hat the concern
had paid the 50. 900 tax on February II,
and thus placed itself in good standing
with it's charter in active force.
MIR. Egner said Mr.. MeCarter. who
had active charge OF the complainant's
cause, was unable to be present, and
asked for an adjournment until March
10. Mr.. Hardin objected and said that
the preliminary injunction already IN
force held up a stock transfer of so. 600.
which had occurred on December 2. 1909,
but which was awaiting registration.
Vlee-Chancellor Howell put the mat
ter off until next Tuesday.
When the corporation was organized
it had other stock issued to get money
to acquire and improve its Cuban prop
erty, giving as security a mortgage into
the care of the Colonial Trust Company.
Of Philadelphia, as trustee. The latter
company. per agreement, Immediately
turned this mortgage over to the Cuban
Trust Company. of Havana, the officers
ami directors of which held the princi-
pal amount of stock. The latter then
organized the Jucaro n Fernando
Railroad and Transportation Company,
with the capital stock in their name.
Then they granted a lease on the prop
erty of Jucaro and Moron Company to
the new concern. with practically un-
limited powers.
Protest was made and threats of fore
closure Of the mortgage were uttered
by the Pratt company. but this was
met by what is commonly called the
in the wood-pile''-a clause which
says that this foreclosure can only be
done by the application Of one-third
