Mrs. Frank Orchard, who is
summering at Orson, was thrown
from a bicycle Friday and broke her

Congressman William S. Bennett
visited Port Jervis, N. Y, Friday in
an auto, the guest of Mr.. Bryan, a
prominent printer of New York
whose family is summering at the
Bluff house, Milford. They rode in
Mr.. Bryan's big French touring car,
leaving the city at II o'clock, noon,
and stopped at the Mahwah inn for
lunch, arriving at Port Jervis at
$50 p. m after a delightful ride.
Congressman Bennett returned to New
York by train Saturday.
Mike Bregstein is bemoaning
the loss of a watch chain, more or
less valuable, that disappeared from
the young's mans vest not many
days, or nights, ago. He hates to be-
lieye some unprincipled person de-
liberately appropriated his proper
ty, but he swears he did not care
lessly misplace the chain, either in
his store or when he went out to
Beach Lake to take swim. He
thinks the chain may yet show up
and thus far he has not reported
his loss to any officer, but just the
same he would like to see that chain
back.
Lively times are predicted in the
next legislature over proposed bill
to provide that every man must Sc
cure a gun license as required in
New Jersey. The bill is understood
TO have been outlined by the state
game commissioners at their recent
meeting in Harrisburg and steps are
being taken to have local shooting
associations take up the work OF
creating sentiment in behalf of the
measure. 1t is pointed out that the
bill would raise a sum large enough
10 enable the state game commission
to increase its work, as well as to
provide additional game preserves.
1t is expected considerable opposition
will develop.
james G. Shepherd, president of
the Peoples Coal company, and At
torney Roswell H. Patterson left
Scranton last week for Vancouver
island, off the southwest coast of
Canada, where they will inspect a
large tract of lumber they have ac-
quired. They will spend about four
weeks along the Pacific coast. Mr.
Shepherd, Mr.. Patterson and John
G. Hayes, superintendent of the Peo-
pies Coal company, some time ago
invested heavily in the tract, which
takes up about IL miles of practical
ly solid timber. The wood is gigan-
tic hemlock trees. Mr.. Hayes re-
turned recently from the island and
made so favorable a report on the
investment that Mr.. Shepherd and
Mr.. Patterson will visit the tract.
The Shepherd purse of $1,000 for an
airship race from New York to
Scranton is still open, but little has
been heard about the matter lately.
