Oriain Of Knives.


The first knives. according to the con-
illusions OF d scientist who has made
a study OF the subject. were fractured
stones that happened to have a sharp
cutting edge. But the vegetable king
dom also furnishes very keen cutting
edges in the leaves aud stalks Of GER
tain plants. which might have been
availed OF before artificial knives were
made. The fractured stone knife easily
suggested the shaping OF faxed stones.
like fllnL into the form OF blades.
Among the Seri Indians on Tlburon In
land. I'm the gulf OF California. the
primitive custom OF utilizing fractured
and water worn stones for knives still
exists

TOWN ON H|LLS|DES
Land Occupied by Port Wash
ington Slopes Gently to Bay.
FINE VILLAS ALONG HARB0R
Acres Which Sold for About $40
16 Years Ago Now Bring
$4,000 Each.

Port Washington, Long Island, occupies
an area Of about a square mile on the
ridge of hills and valleys sloping gently
down TO the waters OF Manhasset Bay.
The village is not yet incorporated.
The question OF Incorporation was sub
mitted to the voters on June 10, 1912. and
was defeated by seven votes.
Two years from that date the citizens
can vote on that question again. 1t il
thought that the next time this matter
will be decided in the affirmative by a
large vote.
Prior to the extension OF the North Side
division OF the Long Island Railroad from
Great Neck to Port Washington acres
conveniently situated could be had at Port
Washington at from $50 TO 500 each.
Now tracts of land are valued there at
from 81 500 to $4,000 an acre and even
more.
In 1896 an old farm tract in the very
heart of the town changed hands at sio oo
an acre. A conservative estimate OF the
market worth of that land to-day Is
SIS. 900 an acre.
| Most of the persons who have made
Iarp. profts in the purchase and sale OF
Port Washington property have been peo-
ple living at a great distance from the
town. Most OF the town people. sorry to
say did not realize the great future that
IN. town had. and consequently only
small number of them are included among
N. neople who have made large pronts
from Port Washington realty investments
in the last sixteen years.
Notwithstanding the stupendous rise IN
land values in the town IN the last Ola
teen years. there yet remain almost count
less opportunities, so many experts agree
for profitable investments in land ana
buildings there There is one acreage
tract splendidly situated in the town, 70
no bought for about $3.50 an acre ABOUT
three-auarters of a mile from 'aiu'
Point a suburb OF the village, there 10

Thornton of the Long Island Railroad will
be the principal speakers.
District Attorney Youngs was one OF the
speakers at the ceremonies on June y.
| 1895. when the North Side division ex-
tension from Great Neck TO Port Wash
| ington was opened. He then prophesied
that the future OF Port Washington was
| indeed roseate. He said then that the
place possessed every natural advantage
which d great suburban home colony
! ought TO have and that the instrument
which had been lacking TO stimulate its
growth, so It could occupy such posi-
ton, was a railroad.
! The extension of the road, he added
would surely be the means OF great
realty awakening in the town.
How the town has surpassed even his
most sanguine expectations is matter
OF common record.
District Attorney Youngs was born at
Locust Valley, between Glen Cove ana
oyster Bay. Before and after the speech
making patriotic songs will be sung oy
the Port Washington Harmonic Society
| of fifty voices.

Manhasset Bay, on which Port Washing
ton fronts. extends about two and half
miles north and south and similar dis
tance east and west. There are miles OF
BEAUTIFUL sandy beaches touched by the
waters OF this bay. No rock OF any kind
mars the even smoothness of the beaches.
The total length OF the shore front is
eight miles. and that fact. together with
the bay providing the safest harbor on
Long Island Sound for small boats, &C
counts in a large measure for the ever
increas sing popularity Of land facing the
bay Tor high class villa sites.
All public roads in the town lead to the
bay, and thus all residents have perms-
nent right of way 10 all sections OF the
bay front There are also splendid pub
lie bathing beaches.
Three fiourishing yacht clubs have their
homes there.
The water supply OF the town is fur
nished by The Nassau County Water Com
pany 1t OWNS many artesian wells, some
OF the pumps being driven 2S0 feet. The
water is not only pure but cool.
