HOPATCoNG WANTS TROLLEY
The 6 Missing Links When In Place
WIN Help Resort.

The IS Missing Links When In Place
win Help Resort.
This resort is looking anxiOusly to-
ward the time when the trolley COM
pany has found and placed the miss
ing links" By the number who use
the trolley as it is now, coming by
train to Dover, or Mt. Tabor and then
taking the trolley, it is expected a
great many more will use it after they
can get through passage.
In fact a number of excursions of
greater or less quantity are planned
after the missing link" is found. 1t
will surely benefit the daily trade of
the stores and hotels about there as
well as let the different cottages
and campers go and come when they
want to. not having to wait for the
train schedule.
And when the space between Nor
ristown and Summit is connected also
great many people from Newark,
Elizabeth and that district will make
excursions to the lake for the days
outing who would not come otherwise.
Great things are expected by this re-
sort from the benefit derived by the
trolley running to it's shores.
But what is greatly hoped after the
aforesaid is accomplished is that the
trolley will continue on and make the
circuit Of the lake, thus making it so
she people of the hotels and cottages
may get out at their doors. This
would undoubtedly put the boat COM
panies more or less out of business as
it would make it so much more con-
venient for the cottages, campers and
hotel guests.

Did Not Insure the Day.

The Bernardsville News" says of
the Basking Ridge carnival
"The carnival at Basking Ridge has
passed into history, but we venture to
say that such an enjoyable affair will
not be forgotten in long time.
"Friday morning looked rather UNI
propitious, as copious rain was fall
ing; but it ceased about ten o'clock
and fair weather followed throughout
the two days. And that was FORUM
ate, for, on Thursday, the firemen re-
ceiyed word that the London Lloyds
had rejected the weather insurance
policy, through which they were to be
paid 81. 500 in case of storm.
tThe firemen profited by the carni-
val to the extent of $500. their receipts
being about 81, $751;"

Comptroller West Tells of a Dogs
Balloon Ascension.
The frightful death Of the young
balloonist who dropped out Of a para
chute at Asbury Park last week re-
minded State Comptroller Harry j..
West Of similar fatally that befell a
dog that was sent up in balloon from
the Mt. Holly fair grounds few years
ago.
"The strapping of that poor dumb
beast to a basket swung from the bal
loon was one Of the most deliberately
cruel things / ever witnessed" said
the comptroller. After the balloon
had scared to height of quarter Of
mile the dog succeeded in getting
loose from the basket and in an in
slant was plunging like a shot to
earth. where he was dashed to death.
The incident made me mad clean
through and | made up my mind that
if ever heard Of an act Of the same
sort advertised again | would prevent
its consummation if within my power.
well, the next summer, " continued
Mr.. West, / picked up paper and saw
where it was advertised to send dog
up in balloon from Billy Thompson's
Washington park, down near Camden.
They'll never pull that trick off If !
can prevent it, / declared to myself,
remembering the fate of the poor dog
at Mt. Holly. So the next day / hus-
tied down to the park and made the
biggest kind Of a protest against carry
ing out the spectacular performance.
The showmen were angry at me for
trying to interfere with their business
and finally told me to go to blazes and
mind my own business. told them
that if they persisted in their scheme
l would be on hand at the appointed
hour for the ascension, and if they did
succeed in sending dog up in bal
loon it would be only after they had
licked me.
"The day for the ascension came at
hand and was right on the job Five
Thousand persons with gaping eyes
were there to either see the dog go uI
or me lick someone or get licked, for
had talked about the thing SO much
that nearly everyone knew what was
hanging around for. I"
"Well, we'll, What was the outcome

Voorhees,, who had been listening tt
the story.

Elijah Miller, conductor, had one
shoulder, arm and hand badly lacerat-
ed, and Peter Rossi, a laborer, was
seriously injured in collision between
large steel gondola and a locomotive
on the Morris County Traction COM
pany's line near the rock cut east of
the Lackawanna station, Rockaway,
at two O'Clock Wednesday morning.
Miller went to his home at Dover and
is expected to recover quickly. Rossi
was brought to All Souls hospital.

Lake HOpatcongss shores VIII Soon BE
Denuded of the Trees.
Hudson Maxim having consulted
with the state forester, Mr.. Gaskil1,
has found out that the disease killing
the chestnut trees throughout this
whole state is unsurmountable and
will in the course of a period OF three
to four years kill every chestnut in
the state.
Mr.. Maxim has a large estate also
having bought this last spring large
tract of land which he has cut streets
through and is selling for building
lots. He is cutting every chestnut off
his property and selling them for tele-
graph and telephone poles.
The disease is a fungus caused by a
European form of chestnut tree being
brought over and planted on Long
Island which carried the germ 1t
rapidly spread through Long Island
and New Jersey and now the forestry
authorities OF Pennsylvania find tbs
spreading into that state and are do
ing all they can to stop it, but as there
is no cure for it without killing the
tree little hope is felt forsthe trees of
Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Gaskill says that the chestnut
bark disease is the worst Infection
ever known in the history of forestry,
and he deplores our lack of state and
federal legislation to control the cir
culation of tree diseases.
At present many nurseries are send
/ ing out diseased plants all about the
state and there is no law preventing
| it.
In Pennsylvania this disease is af-
fecting the cultivated chestnut groves
as well as the natural trees.

Atlanta, Aug. 1T is doubtful

session Of the legislature Despite
the hard fight which has been made
fer its passage, the measure appears
to be shelved.

move for the reconsideration of the

determined that it shall have anoth-

CONGRESS

The papers say Congress is IN a
deadlock, and there is no telling
when it will adjourn or what it will
do before it adjourns. The regular
Republicans, the Insurgents, the
regular Democrats and some few
renegade Democrats are all at sea
and at odds as well. Each is pulling
against the other and each is wait
ing to see what the other fellows
will do. There are several so-called
administration measures, measures
which have received the Endorsement
of President Taft. which are on the
calendar and they seem hopelessly
hung up. II this Congress, domi-
mated by the Republicans, don't do
something, something demanded by
the people, which the G. o. P. in its
platform pledged should be done,
then the Democratic party will likely
control the next House of Represen-
tatiyes.
