At Kansas City league has been

policies" Leagues rush in where
angels fear to tread. What, just
now, are Mr.. Roosevelt's policies?-
Louisville Courier-Journal.
Well, one of the present ROOSE-
WELT policies, Col WATTERSON,
or more strictly one of the present
ROOSEVELT efforts, is to help the
leaders of his party determine the
strongest man to run for governor
of New York in a probable contest
with an extra sagacious city Demo-
crat whose friends are gradually
compelling him to believe he must
try for Albany first and for Wash.
ington afterward Other ROOSE-
WELT policies can wait on the
strengthening out of the state ticket
for the November campaign.

Last year,
Alack and alas!

And Bill on the fiat
OF his back in the grass
Sounding the depths
OF the opaline sky
And watching the clouds
Floating dreamily by.
Last year,

This year,

Strenuous still,
And no one complaining
For want of a thrill,
Shindy and sass

Snore as it pleases
And snooze as it will

BOARD OF TRADE MEETING.

This paper goes to press on Tues
days and Thursdays and the news
stories appearing in its columns are
always written with the word to
day" applying to Tuesday or Thurs
day, as the case may be. The date
of the paper, whether Wednesday or
Friday, is, quite naturally and prop
erly, subordinate to the date on
which the news was actually made.
When, therefore, we say that the
Greater Honesdale Board of Trades
public meeting will be held Friday
night in town hall, we mean tomor-
row night, not Thursday night.
Friday, July %, to be exceed
ingly explicit, is the time. The town
hall is the place. BE there by 8
o'clock. The meeting is going to be
called to order promptly.
The main thing at this meeting,
as we understand it, is to be the
talks by three prominent lawyers on
subjects that will bear a vital part
in the inception and subsequent his
tory of Greater Honesdale-if we
have it. Taxation, fire protection,
school privileges on the part of the
suburban districts that would come
into the enlarged borough-there are
topics for you that must be big with
interest for every man who wants
to see Honesdale have more area,
more people, more business, more
money.
This meeting will give the citi-
zens of Honesdale a clearer, more
comprehensive and more tangible
understanding of the scope and pro-
jects of the Board than they have
thus far been enabled to CLEAN from
newspaper reports. The objects OF
this new business body will be Civ
en- ample explanation by its officers,
and any man in the hall who wants
to ask questions will be at perfect
liberty to stand up and ask them
There will be Board members pres
ent who can answer any rational
question.
The Board wants you TO attend
that meeting Friday night. The
Board wants you to hear what the
men promoting it have to offer in
the way OF suggestions for buster
and richer Honesdale. The Board
wants you to make personal exami
nation Of its plans and purposes
and you can't conduct an examina
tion like that by absent treatment.
Friday night, 8 O'Clock, in the
town hall.

At any rate, the world will spin

At any rate, the world will spin
With very small pretension,
And the Fall elections will begin
To clamor for attention.
The next few weeks will fire the gun
Repeatedly and oftly,
And a lot of folks begin to run
For Office very softly.
The bold insurgent will have poll
ed the principal chautsuquas, and
will by that time have been told how
far discreet his balk was, or if to fol-
low his attack with further demon
stration, or quietly to tip-toe back
upon the reservation.
The hopeful Democrat will tool
this way and that way training, and
hope to have us as rule have none
of their explaining. He'll carefully
trim up his wicks and get his pump
pulsating, and pass the grandstand
every six or seven seconds waiting,
There'll be some dust put up, 1t
seems, when this event gets going,
and some things starting at the
seams that wanted proper sewing.

POWER TRANSMISSION LINE.

A party of surveyors was camped on
the Okanogan river, in the east part
of to|n, Saturday and Sunday. The
outfit constituted crew engaged in
surveying and marking out a route
over which line is to transmit electric
power from the Similkameen falls
power plant to Republic, and was in
charge of Mr.. Price, while Mr.. Hos
kyn did the surveying. The route that
has been selected and spyed out ex-
tends in northwesterly direction from
Republic to kipling, and westwardly
from Kipling to Oroville. The dis
tance by actual measurement is said to
be less than A miles. The crew, hav-
ing completed the job, left Monday
morning for Republic. OF course the
object of the company was to secure a
line from the place where the power
is generated to the place where tits to
be used in the shortest possible dis
tance, and it is said the line selected
fills that requirement. The objective
point from this place was to be gained
over the route of least resistance, in
conjunction with the shorter distance,
without consideration of any local buis-
ness, as that is side issue in cOmpar-
ison with the chief object of securing
cheap and ample power for working
the mines, and mills in conjunction
with those mines. This announcement
of the route decided on will be read
with much disappointment by land
owners along the Okanogan river, who
were figuring on taking power topper
ate pumps for irrigation purposes in
case the line was extended down the
valley, and there is no doubt that had
that route been selected as far as Ton
asket, and over the hills to Republic,
a large amount of business would have
been secured by the company. Recog-
nizing in Mr.. Harper progressive and
energetic business man, who enters
upon every enterprise with the single
aim of making it success, it is felt
that he will never overlook any oppor-
tunity to increase the income of any
he may be behind. No
doubt if the present capacity of the
plant is not sufficient to Immediately |
meet the demand made upon it, he and
his associates will find ways and means
to supply the demand for power, and
if the Kipling route is finally decided
upon as the most advantageous for the
main purpose of the company, sub
sidiary line may be extended through
the valley to supply motor energy and
lights wherever those conveniences are

THE CHANCES HE MISSED

Philip Corcoran, homesteaded near
Nighthawk, made application Friday
last to make final proof, having ex-
isted the required five years on dry
ranch. Mr.. Corcoran is one of the
argonauts who sought the golden fleece
in California in early days, and failed
in his quest because an ordinary for
tune looked too small when millions
were the smallest sums that dazzled
the imaginations of the gold seekers
At one time he owned placer claim
for which he refused $4,000. To all
appearances it was worth ten times
amount, as he had struck a pocket that
indicated the presence of great riches.
y few hundred were taken out in no
time at all, and then the claim petered.
After spending $4,000 and months of
laborthe ground refused to yield another
dollar. On the shady side of life, with
a farm from which it is difficult to
wrest bare living Mr.. Corcoran
expresses no regrets at missing near
fortune, and that more than once, but
he does think he played out of luck in
his younger DAYS.

NARROW ESCAPE.

NJ. Jarvis, the sage of the Okanogan
valley, and whose coming to the coun-
try antedates the landing of the Pill
grims, was in town Saturday, and
moved around with decided and con-
spicuous limp. The instability of one
of his props is chargeable to a rum
away. Recently his team insurged,
and breaking away from their custom
AIRY conservative methods of locomotion
spurted over the hills, finally shooting
over perpendicular embankment some
twenty feet high. Exercising that
discretion for which he is noted Mr..
Jarvis parted company with the ve-
hicle when on the brink of the abvss.
He struck the earth abruptly and de-
cisively and thus attached the injury
that produced the limp so much in
evidence. Had he not been quick at
reaching conclusion, and prompt at
acting upon that conclusion, he would
have gone over the brink with the out
fit, in which case he would have been
subject for an obituary notice.. And
strange to say the horses escaped with
out injury.
