LETTERS TO TEMPS DEALS
WITH TRAVELS IN AMERICA

Paris, June 17.-Baron d'Estournel-
les de Constant is contributing an in
teresting series of letters 20 the Temps
dealing with his recent travels in the
United States. He speaks repeatedly
of his amazement at what he terms
the marvellous progress attained in
America since his visit of four years
ago. Especially impressive was the
advance noted in the state of Texas
and in general way the agricultural
accomplishments west of the Missis-
sippi.
This week Baron dEstournelles
writes of California and its natural
beauty and agricultural richness but
he stops on the way to wonder at the
ease with which Americans travel
great distances. Il meet people in Sau
Francisco he writes, who go TO
France every year They find 1t very
easy and are more astonished at my
ashonishment than at the voyage it.

group Of enthusiasts and thriving to
some extent because OF lack Of knowl-
edge of the question at issue. Also
there is the opposition of she working
men who naturally fear strong com
petition on the part OF foreign ele-
ment which labors for small wages.
But the Japanese are very much better
viewed in the state of Washington than
in San Francisco where the writer
even finds a sense of regret that Japan
is trying to make her nationals stay
at home
Baron d'Estournelles does not see
any danger Of disastrous economic
invasion by the Japanese. 1T is in
filtration but nat inupdation,' he says,
and adds that this intltration is alto
gether too slight to assure to Cali
fornia laborers sufficient to permit of

A popular travelling man remark
ed TO us a few days ago, that he
had made a calculation, and every
farmer in their section of the coun-
try was losing at least Is days
every year on account Of bad roads.
Ad to this the wear and tear on
wagons, buggies, horse flesh, etc.,
and you would find that it amount
ed to a great deal, If every farmer
would work Is days on the road
that his farm is located on, using a
split log drag, digging out rock,
stumps, etc, he would find it to be
the most profitable work he ever
did. We have the best farming
lands in the country, but goodroads
would improve the value of our
lands 50 per cent. -Imboden Ga

whats The Matter With HawIey?
She's All Right"
While we doubt that Father Cur
ran in his address at the County
Temperance institute meant to cast
slur on the place of his birth,
nevertheless it came out in some of
the Honesdale papers that he Con
fessed that he was born in Hawley
and that they were called by the out
siders Bridge Dodgers and Canalers.
The people of Hawley are becoming
tired of being guyed in this way as
they have been overcoming these
nick-names for several years by fill
ing up the old canal with garbage
and the like. 1t appears that of late
some of the draymen and others do
not get all of the refuse into the bot
tom of the ditch. Consequently the
town council at their meeting on
Monday night passed the following
resolution: That no person shall
dump any garbage or any refuse on
the banks of the Delaware and Hud-
son Canal slip now used as a dump
ing ground. All persons must dump
garbage and all other refuse in the
bottom of the old canal slip. Every
person violating the provisions shall
be liable to fine of not less than $5
or more than $25, etc"
The healthful location of the Haw-
ley High school probably has some

of the pupils are gaining as athletes.
