charge to them or else let them go
where they please. If part of
Seelyville (the Flats) comes in, the
school expenses there will rise and
the taxes will exceed Honesdale's.
He went on to tell about the
advantages of a commercial de-
partment and in this connection
said that when visiting schools in
other counties he felt ashamed to
when asked whether Honesdale had
a commercial department.
"It may be we'll to teach lam
guages," said he, but figures and
penmanship are the vital, practical
things-the ones that really count.
If we had one district for the T.
600 people of Greater Honesdale,
we could put in the commercial de-
partment and not be obliged to send
our boys and girls away to Scran-
ton or New York or Poughkeepsie
to get the elements of a business
education. Seelyville High school
costs $S5 or $50 a year and Texas
the same. Take that $3.50 and |
will give you a commercial depart
ment in Honesdale High school that
will keep the boys and girls here
while they're getting that business
| training.
There will come a time when
| Texas will build a central graded
school and high school. And Texas
must, in time, employ a truant Off
Ger to run down the delinquent
boys and girls and take them to
school. One such officer could do
that work for Honesdale and
j Texas at the same time.
"One superintendent could handle
the schools of the entire commun-
ity. 1t is no use trying to make
one man superintendent and teach
er at the same time. They have as
as we have here, but one superin'
tendent over all can give better
results than are obtained under
the present arrangement.
Some folks may say the com
mercial department is failure, but
in Scranton, where the technica
high school costs as much as the
central high, the technical some
times reaches higher per
centage. The majority o
boys and girls don't go into tn,
professions. They go into bust
ness, and the business training
should be given prominence.

Hard Fight with Snake-Glass Men
to neutrality-suspicious..
1t is a well-known fact that for
such a sparsely settled place as is
the country surrounding Hemlock
Hollow and Long pond there dwells
an unusual number of hunters,
trappers and fishermen. But not
everyone knows that among them is
a snake fancier, young man by
the name of Urven Daniels, who
since childhood has made snake
hunting his main sport. With sew
eral of them concealed about his
person, he would often go to the
Pouse and give them their freedom
in a room full of company, finding
the keenest delight in the terror OF
his friends. When a small boy he
tackled one that would have gotten
the best of him had it not been for
"a smaller brother at hand with a
knife with which he cut its throat.
This one had wound itself around
his body. His usual manner of kill
ing a snake is TO grab him by the
tail and give a quick jerk, which
breaks his neck. He has always
been the winner in his battles with
the serpent until the recent hayine
season. While at work in the field
he went up to rock to lay a scythe
stone on it and something unseen
struck him on the ankle. He very
soon spied a huge blacksnake and
then began a fight between the

fray. Once the snake struck at his

WAYNE CO. WINNER

SHIP BELONG TO WAYNE /
STORAGE AND WATER-POWER |
COMPANY, NOT TO REIFLER
COMPANY, WHO BROUGHT
SUIT OF EJECTMENT.
Judge Henry A. Fuller of Luz
zerne has decided that White Oak,
Swamp and Long ponds and
Hankins. Miller, and Belmont
reservoirs belong to the Wayne
Storage and Waterpower company.
Reifer & Sons, Inc, claimed own
ership under their deed and action
of ejectment was brought Jan. 4.
1909. Judge Fuller says:
"The plaintiff has not established
it's rights to recover in this action
of ejectment, and therefore judg-
ment should be entered in favor of
the defendant, subject to exceptions
in the manner provided by the act
of assembly under which this case
has been submitted to the court"
Elsewhere Judge Fuller observes:
'In the submission of this case
and of the interesting question
which it involves, we have had the
benefit of exceptionally able argu-
ment on both sides, and we are not
entirely satisfied with the correct
ness of our conclusions, but we
think the fair preponderance of ar
gument leads to the proposition
which controls the case, that the
clause contained in the company's
deed in 1857 created more than a
mere easement, terminable with the
use of the canal, and left in the
company and it's assigns full posses
sion and right of possession, and
| perhaps absolute ownership of the
very land itself which is claimed in
this ejectment.
"The precise contention of the
! plaintiff, upon which depends its
right to recover, is that the clause
created merely the easement of stor-
! ing upon land which the company
conveyed, water to supply it's cor
porate purposes in the maintenance
of the canal, and that the discon-
tinuance of the latter consequently
extinguished the easement servient
thereto. There can be no doubt
that if the deed did create an ease
ment, and if the easement was re-
stricted to that particular purpose
it has terminated and the plaintifi
may recover"
The Judge concludes, as matter
of law. that the controverted clause
in the company's deed constituted al
exception from the grant and MOI
a mere reservation of an easement
Even if it did constitute {
mere reservation of an easement fol
reservoirs, such easement was no
affected by the abandonment of thu
canal, nor by non uses for corporate
purposes of the company, but wa
alienable to it's assignees, in whom
it continues while the reservoirs arr
maintained.
1t was in 1851 that the d. & H
sold a large tract of land to Lore
& Tracy, in Lebanon township, EN-
bracing within its bounds Uppe
and Lower Woods ponds. In thi
deed the company expressly except
ed and reserved the absolute and un
|, qualified right to occupy as mucl
. of the land as they may conside

to overflow all the land that the
may require for said purposes.

Pleasing Style of Architecture.

In other words, the closely built-up por-
ton of the city in that direction has in
the past few years advanced north from
Park road all the way out to Spring
road. The building has not been con-
fined to 14th street but has expanded
along the side streets and such paranel
streets as Holmead avenue. In these ex-
tensive building operations attention has
been paid to the architecture of the
houses, that they have a pleasing APP
pearance. All the little details about a
house such as parking and the curbing
and the walks have been attended to with
care, and following what is the compare
lively new departure in city houses they
are all supplied with porches.
Out there il does not look like the city,
that is, the average city one is accus-
toned to see. One cannot but admire
what he sees. The architecture of the
houses taking them a whole is an
Improvement over the styles that were
formerly popular as for example one
misses without regret the serried range
of spikes which a row OF houses of
former date presents to the observer in
the pepper boxes and the sharp ends of
the candle ext -ngu-sners tuat Iinlsn the
fronts. Nowadays the cornice line of
houses is straight anT there is no pro-
lection piercing the sky.

BUILDING OPERATIONS
NORTH Of THE CITY
Activity in the Neighborhood
of Terminus of 18th
Street Car Line.

Four miles from the White House and
almost directly north used TO be the
Brightwocd race track, where local trot-
ting races were held Today city streets
have been cut through the grounds and
there is but little trace of the old-time
track except a portion to the NORTH,
where the turn was made to come down
the home stretch and past the grand
stand. The old roadhouse Is still stand
ing. with its high board fence. but the
long, low wooden sheds in the rear,
where the teams stood under shelter. are
gone, as are the stables which were a
part of the racing outfit.
The roadhouse remains about the only
landmark to suggest the old-time associ-
ations. except. of course, the Piney
Branch road, which still follows its an
cient meanders and passes in front of the
house. To the west rise the grassy slopes
of the Brightwood reservoir and the trim,
well kept surroundings, while just beyond
the reservoir is the end of the new mac
adam section of 10Th street, that now
passes over the Piney branch by means
of the handsome new concrete bridge and
thence in a straight line through the
Forest of Argyle to the Brightwood res
ervoir-four miles from the White House.
Near the End of the Car Line.
But that is not all. for just to the east
of the old race track comes the line OF
14th street, now opened up from the
city, and what is more, having cOntin-
uous car service to the center of the city.
About this terminal of the car line the
forest trees still cluster and through
them pass the newly opened Kennedy
street east which is to connect with
Georgia avenue not far beyond and along
| which the proposed new car line from Ia
| koma is to come. Here n. l.. Sansbury
has opened real estate Office for ham
ding the lots in Pasadena Park, which
is the name of the subdivision OF the
property in this locality.
While the distance is four miles, yet IN
| this day of the trolley car distances are
expressed in time rather than in lineal
measurements. So that this locality IS
twenty-five minutes from the White
House instead Of four miles. 1t is still
a region CT rural sights and sounds. al
though it is evident the city is going
that way very rapidly, and yet the m
vasion is being adapted to the surround
ings The houses are being built detach-
ed, as can be seen a short distance south
of the street car terminal, In what Is
known as Fourteenth Street Terrace,
which is also handled by Mr.. Sansbury.
The same style of building is to be found
in the wooded region to the west, which
has the general name of Argyle, which is
only a continuation of what has been
done in building up the broad belt of
land between 14th street and Georgia
avenue and called Sauls subdivision.

Very Attractive Homes.

The homes out there look very attract
i've just now, with their smooth
stretches of soft green lawn and the flow
ers and the shrubbery. These surround
ings are enjoyed by the occupants of the
houses from the porches or from the
many openings in the houses, which at
this time of the year are shaded from
the too intense rays of the sun by avn
ings. The houses have cool and invit-
ing effect, which is due to the setting OF
lawn as we'll as to the shadowy depths OF
the window openings.
But it is remarkable how well the
houses in rows are adapted to such sur
roundings, for now the advance OF the
city in this direction has been such that
this style of building Is found pretty tar
north. In fact, just south of the car
barn of the street railway company, but
on the opposite side of the street and, to
be precise, at the northwest corner of
14th and Buchanan streets, is a row of
two-story houses extending for some dis
lance west along Buchanan street and
within easy distance of the old Piney
Branch road.
by Shannon & Luchs, has the space in
front which nearer .the center of the
city Is called the parking. but out here
a lawn. and it deserves the name, while
the back yard is also a lawn and unlike
it's city counterpart, which is shut in
and off by a high ugly close board fence,
it is inclosed with light paling so there
is continuous l0wn or flower garden
just as the case may be. Then. too,
there are the porches and the awnings,
and so stands the city house in the coun-
try.
Still further south on 14th street one
comes to a row of houses at the south
west corner of l4th and Webster streets
under the management of Terrell 4 Lit
tie, while across the street are some
frame detached houses in charge of
Davidson & Davidson. and still farther
along toward the city and on the west
side at Shepherd street are the houses
built by Floyd E. Davis. Presently one
comes to Spring road and from there on
the building up of 14th street has been
practically finished, at least on the east
side. On the west there Is still some va
cant ground that has not as yet been
improved.

A Consumers View.

A consumers standpoint is shown in
the following communication from f. w.
Rolte, formerly of Tunhridge.
Editor the Herald:
One OF the milk consumers OF Greater
Boston reading the statements OF the as
ISOLATION secretary, he who wants the
consumer taxed a small amount on each
milk purchase for the benefit OF his asso-
citation, and others who appear deter
mined to make the consumer pay 10 or
more cents per quart for milk, believes
that there should be immediate additions
made to the membership OF Rooseyelt's
pet club.
Buying from a number OF retail deal
ers, paid last summer and cents per
quart for good milk and under the win
ter schedule OF milk prices, and cents.
The variation in price has been due to the
fact that some dealers wanted a greater
per cent Of profit than did Others. The
milk bought at the prices named was oh.
tanned from dealers in the region Of the
Back Bay station OF Boston. and in the
Mt. Hope and Jamaica Plain districts of
Greater Boston. During the winter aud
spring the contractors, whose teams reach
Jamaica Plain, have sold milk delivered
at the house for cents per quart. the
payment for which was made at the end
OF each month.
In some sections where rents are very
high, 3 cents per quart has been charged
bat at this price, obtained by retail deaf
ers, it must be evident that the men who
state that the contractors realize a profit
of cents per quart must be mistaken.
Having no acquaintance with sny of the
nor any interest in their BUSH
ness except As far as the question of the
cost OF milk to myself goes, Lam not
prejudiced for or against them l do
think that some of the agitstors for high
Or prices are like some walking delegates, |
put for the money, and that both the pro- /
iucer and the consumer will help pay the 4
fiddler.
The potato question has been partly /
solved by bringing into market q large 1
mount Of the product that was stored 1
while the producers waited for greater
