WORD OF WARNING HOMES DEMANDED WILL GET THE $50 COUNTY BAPT
MANY ASK FOR MORE HOUSES
AND THE BOARD OF TRADE
RECOMMENDS BUILDING LOAN
ASSOCIATION FOR HOMES
DALE.

The most important topic of con-
versation at the executive session at
the Greater Honesdale Board of
Trade last Friday night was the
erection of homes for the working
man. The demand for houses here
is evident One of Honesdales
largest and best paying industries
has made the assertion that the en-
largement of it's plant and output de-
pends entirely upon it's help. Men
can be secured who would come to
Honesdale and make this town their
home providing houses could be Sc
cured. At present the industry is
handicapped by the inadequate num-
Der of dwellings to take care of the
mechanics.
The cost of an average house for
workmen was discussed by practical
men. 1t was stated that homes could
be erected that would rent from $40
to $12, providing such improvements
as furnace, electricity, ETC., were not
used. This is the class of houses in
Honesdale and vicinity today and the
kind the Board of Trade recommend
ed being built.
1t was stated that an effort is be-
ing made to erect a large number of
cottages suitable for workmen and
that operations will commence this
fall.
Main street and its mud were dis
cussed. The different kinds of road
making materials were considered
as were the methods of building
roads.
The question of occupying the two
vacant brick factories with new in.
dustries after recommendations was
left in the hands of proper persons
to interest out-o-town parties.
Other matters of Importance were
discussed.
The press committee has placed
an order for several thousand but.
tons for Greater Honesdale, which
will be here soon and will be sold
by several young women.

WHITE MILLS MANAGER SAYS
HIS TEAM Is TO RECEIVE
MONEY PROMISED WINNER OF
GAME WITH ARCHIBALD AT
LAKE LODORE ON HEPTA-
SOPH DAY.

WHITE MILLS, Aug. 30.-Man-
ager Thomas Gill of the White Mills
baseball team says White Mills will
get the $50 offered the winning
team in the game that was played
with Archibald at Lake Lodore the
day of the Heptasoph's picnic. The
date was Aug. IT.
That game broke up in a row.
For seven innings nobody scored.
Then, with a man on first and a
man on third, Catcher Shaffer, the
heavy hitter of the Millers, put the
ball away out in right and two
runs came in. Shaffer was called
safe at third, and then Umpire
Mcdonald changed his decision,
swore right up and down the ball
was foul, and refused to record the
two runs claimed by White Mills
and which had been sent across the
plate on Shaffer's hit. There was a
wordy wrangle and White Mills left
the field.
The $50 has been hung up ever
since At first it was proposed to
divide it. White Mills wouldn't
stand for any division.
It's all or none" said the man
behind the Millers.
THE committee on sports meets
Sept. in Scranton" said Mr.. Gill
Monday, land at that meeting our
umpire, Mr.. Lilliquist, who did not
butt in at all in the row over the de-
cision at the lake, will file a sworr
statement to controvert whatever
the other umpire may have to say
Yes, we expect to get the $50. It.!

players saw the Reconsideration

FIRE AT CHERRY RIDGE.
Barn, Horse, Hay and Other Proper
ty of Mrs. Bonear Destroyed.


CHERRY RIDGE, Aug. 3O.-The
barn of Mrs. Francis Bonear, a
widow who lives with her daughter
at this place, took fire, nobody
knows how, about Z o'clock Satur-
day night. Before the women could
send the alarm to the neighbors the
blaze had gained a considerable
headway, and before help reached
the scene the barn was doomed The
building went, and so did everything
in il.
Mrs. Bonear's 3-year-old horse,
just broken and getting where he was
good for something, was lost. He
was worth $3.50. Mrs. Bonear lost
carriages, harness, seven tons OF hay
and farm tools.
Mrs. BoI ear said Monday that she
thought spontaneous combustion
must have started the fire. II
could not, everybody agrees, have
been an incendiary fire, starting as
it did almost in broad daylight. The
barn was directly across the road
say 100 feet from the house.
The barn was insured for 5000
The horse was not insured. Later
reports say the animal was five
years old and worth $3.50.
