LICENSE COURT.

The application of NJ. F. Downs,
of Buckingham township, for a ho-
tel license, was considered on Tues
day afternoon before the court. At
torneys Searle and Salmon and Me-
Carly for Downs, and Attorneys
Simons and Stocker for the prose-
cution. The hotel in question is
located on the river road at a point
several hundred yards back of the
main road. 1t is one and one-half
miles to Hancock, n. Y, miles to
Equinunk, 8 miles to Lake Como.
Several remonstrances were filed
against this petition and among
them were two from Hancock, N.
Y. These two remonstrances COM
ing from persons living in the state
of New York could not be consider
ed, however, their evidence was
allowed to go in.
Michael Bregstein, w. N. Stevens,
Jacob Hunt, Ben. Robinson, Christ.
Murphy testified to the good char
acter of Mr.. Downs and the neces-
sity of hotel at this place, saying
that it was an ideal spot for sum
mer tourists and to go to Hancock
a person would be obliged to pay a
toll to cross the bridge. ]. A. Bodie,
Jr., showed pictures to the Court
which he had taken of the pro-
posed hotel and he stated that he
had been inside the house, which
is almost new and we'll conducted
M. F. Downs stated that he expected
to serve the best class of the public
as he had done in the past and that
he was not depending wholly on
business from Hancock. He said
he could accommodate 80 people, his
house having 16 rooms and a large
dining room which would seat near
ly 20 persons. He stated to the
Court that he was an experienced ho-
tel keeper, having some eleven
years experience in this state and
also in New York. He produced a
book showing last years business
which showed receipts from boarders
$S37.75, and from travellers of $39.-
so, making a total of SS77.25 for the
year.
In the remonstrance there were
seven witnesses, William Kingsbury,
Hancock, N. Y, H. A. Williams,
Hancock, N. Y, Boyd Belknapp, Jas.
Hoag, Ed. Terwilliger, Mr.. Kings
bury, Autumn Leaves. These wit
nesses all testified to the lack of
travel on the road where the hotel
stands and stated that one was not
necessary here for the travel was
mostly by drummers, who hired
rigs in Hancock to go to Lake Como
and Equinunk and invariably went
back to Hancock for hotel accommo-
dations. Some of the witnesses
were against hotel licenses on gen.
eral principals but most of them op-
posed the hotel license on the
ground that it was unnecessary.
One man stated that that region
was on the decline and not as pro-
gressive as it was 20 years ago
when the numbering was good. He
stated that even the school was GO
ing down, having only three pupils
at this time. This same man said,
when asked If he didn't think ad-
vertising would bring business, mo
need of advertising. What's the use
of wasting your money on that"

well brought out as a human being,
not a mere blood-thirsty savage. He
is seen to have thoughts and feelings
akin to our own, social relations and
industries of peaceable, home-keep-
ing significance.
Colonial times also are brought to
mind-the formation of the Union
and many other significant events in
our national development. There
are views of superb American scenery
from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pa
cific. In fact a national commentary,
full of beauty and meaning, is in the
