Contrary to common belief, geese
mature just as rapidly away from
streams or ponds as near them. A
generous supply of fresh drinking wa
ter is all that is required. There are
many places on farm worthless for
cultivation that could be used with ex-
cellent results for geese raising.
The cost of food for geese is proper

Geese occupy the same place among
poultry that sheep do among live stock
and if given proper care are as profit
able in proportion, says writer in the
Baltimore American. 1t is just as nee
essary to pluck the feathers from a
goose as to shear the wool from the
sheep, and the product has a great
demand. The feathers may be picked
four times during the summer, and

MAIN STREET is TO Be PAVED; WORK TO BEGIN IN 1914
HONESDALE BOROUGH COUNCIL RECOMMENDED BRICK A
PAVE AT TUESDAY EVENINGS SPECIAL MEETING-WORK
4,


Main street of Honesdale is to be
paved!
The controversy of 20 years
among the councilmen of the bor-
ough of Honesdale has finally ma
terialized. A motion was adopted at
a special meeting held Tuesday even
ing to pave Main street with brick
from the State bridge, corner of
Main and Twelfth streets, to the
south side of Fourth street, same to
be commenced by April 1st, 1914,
or sooner if possible.
The action of the town council is
a commendable one and the mem
bers should be highly complimented
in their decision. Pave talk has been
heard in Honesdale for a number of
years and the present council has
talked pave since the election of the
respective members. Tuesday night
the question was settled once and for
all when President Martin Caufield
said: The only way to pave is to

BRIDGE SWEPT AWAY
AS TRAIN APPROACHES.

One of the many thrilling expert
ences of travellers on trains coming
from the West, who passed through
the flood district of Ohio, is told by
Mrs. Snyder, the wife of DR.. Charles
Strong Snyder, of Chicago, who ar
rived in Harrisburg one day last
week. Mrs. Snyder was former
resident of Harrisburg, and is now
visiting relatives there.
DR.. Snyder was a former Homes
dale boy, the son of the late Isaiah
Snyder, and is well known in this
section.
Mrs. Snyder left Chicago Monday
morning on the Manhattan Limited,
expecting to arrive in Harrisburg
Tuesday morning between 4 and 8
o'clock. The rain was falling in tor
rents with high winds, and the pas
sengers noted much devastation
along the way. Shortly after leav-
ing Mansfield, Ohio, at 1880 p. m,
near Lucas, small way station, the
train suddenly came to a standstill
and there seemed to be great excite
ment outside.
Mrs. Snyder tells most graphically
how she slipped on her wraps and
went to the observation car, to find
the train almost on the edge of a
culvert, thirty feet deep, filled with a
roaring, swirling mass of water and
no bridge. Just before a way train
had passed over the structure, jarr-
ing the ground loosened by the heavy
rains and the bridge had gone down
with seventy feet of tracks. A track
walker discovered the disaster, and
knowing that Manhattan Limited was
due in a few minutes, successfully
tagged the train with his lantern.
The train was backed to Mansfield,
a distance of seventeen miles, switch
ed onto the Big Four Road. to Co
lumbus, Ohio, and then to the Pan
Handle to Pittsburgh, reaching that
city at o'clock Tuesday morning
and arriving in Harrisburg soon after
4 O'Clock. Among the passengers
was a party of people from Omaha,
who were going to Philadelphia to
attend wedding. Just after they
left Omaha the storm struck that
city and they felt that disaster mark
ed their track.

HOkESDALE WILL Be REACHED
BY MOOSIC LAKE ROAD
STATED ON GOOD AUTHORITY
THAT WORK WILL BEGIN
THIS SUMMER.

Moosic Lake Road Will be Extended
to Honesdale, Through Salem,
and Hawley-Win Not Touch
Lake Ariel.
1t is now stated on very good au-
thority that work on the Moosic
Lake trolley road will be started
this summer, and continued each
year by easy stages until it reaches
Honesdale by way of Hawley. The
extension of the Moosic Lake road
will not touch Lake Ariel as now
planned, but will go through the
farming and dairying regions of
Wayne county. The proposed extern
sion by the American Street Railway
company, which controls the Scran-
ton trolley system, and Timothy
Burke, are to force the extension of
the road several miles this year.
The Scranton Times has the follow
ing to say about it:
The loss to the railway company
through the Dayton floods, it is un-
derstood, has moved them to act
cautiously in the matter of spending
money for new ventures and the
Moosic Lake road extension will suf-
fer in consequence. Timothy Burke
does not care to handle the bigger
part of the proposition himself
The new road will commence at a
point near where the old Dunmore
station of the Moosic Lake road
stood. This is just west of the base
of the mountain around which the
road winds to the lake. The extern
sion will then continue on around
the west side of the mountain to
Marshwood and rounding the north
ern end will cross the Erie tracks
near Saco.
1t is then planned to force the
road through to Salem and then on
through a country touched by rail-
roads to Hawley and Honesdale. The
new road will not come within a mile
and a half of Lake Ariel it is under
stood.
When the extension was first pro-
posed the plan was to touch Lake
Ariel. This would mean consider
able passenger traffic between Scran-
ton and the lake, but the promoters
have decided that route through a
heavy dairy producing country
would more than make up for their
loss in passenger traffic by not going
to Ariel. The promoters, it is un-
derstood, are satisfied with the
amount of passenger traffic and they
now want freight traffic.

MINIATURE STOURBRIDGE
LION.

Norman Avery, of Hoadleys, is one
of the tower men at the tower near
the iron bridge, midway between
Clemo and Hoadleys station. Mr..
Avery has an inventive turn of mind,
and recently he has tried his hand at
constructing steam engine along
the lines of the famous Stourbridge
Lion. In fact, he has done the trick,
and out of brass, iron and babbitt-
metal he has made an exact reproduc-
tion of the old "Lion." Further
more, the miniature has the ego" to
it, and the wheels go around with
an ease that is pleasing enough. We
understand that the miniature engine
will soon be exhibited in the windows
of one of Honesdale's leading busi-
ness houses.

Veterans of the Spanish-American
war, were installed Wednesday even
ing by Colonel G. N. Fairlamb, ma
tional organizer, who also acted as
installing officer. The meeting was
held in the Park street armory. The
following, who had been elected
Monday night, were installed: Will

min f. Blake, senior vice command
er; Horton e. Cross, junior vice COM

Joseph Ackerman and William Buch-
anan, color sargeants.
At the meeting Monday night the
organization of Wayne camp was
effected with eleven members but
as there are over forty men who saw
service either in Cuba, Porto Rico
or the Philippines, tits hoped that
the local camp will have nearly that
number of members before long.
Captain G. j. Kelley, of Company
E, has donated the use of the Park
street armory as temporary meet
ing place for the veterans of the
panish-American war. The meet
ing there Wednesday evening was a

FOR NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE
Senator Chiffon Introduces Bill Affect
ing Women and Children.

Washington, April 10.-A minimum
wage of not less than 50 week for
women and girls and prohibition of the
employment Of girls less than fifteen
years old in manufacturing establish
ments engaged in interstate commerce
was proposed in a bill introduced by
Senator Chiffon of West Virginia. The
measure provides that "six days of
work of eight hours a day shall consti-
tute week within the meaning of this
act" but it makes no provision that
females shall not be employed longer
than eight hours daily or more than
six days in a week. This language, 1t
is believed, may defeat the purpose of
the bill.
Women employed at less than the
minimum wage rate are given the
right to collect from their employer
FIVE times the amount of the deficiency
by suit in the federal district court.

Pulls Gun on Detective Who is I'M

When Chase Was Resumed.

A telephone call was received by
County Detective N. B. Spencer
Tuesday afternoon, from John Male
of Cherry Ridge, requesting the de-
tective to come out at once and ar
rest chicken thief. Mr. Spencer
had been over in the valley on bust
ness and had just returned that
morning. He had no weapons with
him and did not know what he was
going to run up against, but he
nevertheless engaged E. w. Gam
NELL to drive him out there in the
auto, and when they approached the
neighborhood of Larry Weidner's,
over the hill, they saw their man.
He started to run across the fields
and Spencer had the machine stop
ped and went after him. Spencer is
considered good sprinter and
would have overtaken his quarry if
the latter had not pulled a gun on
the detective. Being unarmed there
was nothing to do but beat retreat.
Spencer waited in the neighborhood
while Mr.. Gammell drove back to the
court house and got Sheriff Kimble
and couple of good-sized shooting
irons. The chase was resumed and
thorough search of the surround
ing country was made by the Off
GERS of the law, but the man had

When the reports of the con-
stables were handed in for the
March term of court, e. j. Richard
son, of Hawley, reported that Au-
gust Stoquet had broken out of the
Hawley town lookup and had disap-
peared. Stoquet was a stranger in
that vicinity and was sometimes
called "Frenchy." He was notori-
Gus character. Where he has been in
hiding up to the present time is a
mystery and it is thought that he
has several pals around here that
provided shelter for him. A man
answering the description of
"Frenchy" turned UP in Cherry
Ridge Tuesday and for some time
has been getting away with numer-
Gus eggs and chickens belonging to
the farmers of that locality. He
was seen coming out of Edw. Kines-
mans chicken coop with eggs and
this discovery led to the call for the
officers.

afternoon and ran into a clue. They
found that "Frenchy" had been
there Tuesday night and had broken
into the office of the Pennsylvania
Coal Company. He made away with
an overcoat belonging to E. ]. Rich
ardson and then left town. The Of
ficers searched in that vicinity for
some time and their chase lead them
to Hoadleys. About twelve o'clock
they found "Frenchy' asleep in the
watchman's shanty at the washery at
Hoadleys. "Frenchy' had lost his
gun, so he said, and came along
peaceably, to Honesdale, arriving
here with the officers about five
o'clock this morning, and was put in
the county Jail. He was brought be-
fore Justice R. A. Smith this morn
ing to answer to charges of larceny
carrying concealed weapons, break
ing Jail and breaking and entering.
He pied guilty to all the charges ex-
cept carrying concealed weapons
and was held for the action of the

fully.
