Chas. Vogel's Letter

we arrived at Cle enO OI our
journey. none the wors for the
long ride, and we enjoyed the
trip and sight seeing immensely.
We went over Tennessee pass,
arriving at the summit OF the
Rockies at night.
In the morning the grass vas no
longer green, except in some val
leys where irrigation was prac-
ticed. In these valleys every
thing looked good-good build
!ngs and fine orchards; and then
again lifeless deserts, from
which we saw one poor rabbit
going toward Colorado to get
something to eat.
We saw very little stock utter
leaving Colorado.
We pasAeL through Sacramen.
to, California, and up the Sacra-
mento river to soda spring,
where we all got drink of soda
water; but it wasn't good. We
crossed the river about twenty
times, and went through as
many tunnels, none more than
200 long
Late at night we arrived at
Sutherland, Ore, and twelve
miles east we found our son o.
A He has a fine ranch and is
getting along fine.
The big trees pleased Us most.
One measured twenty-six feet
around. IL was supposed to be
$50 feet high, and will make
20. 900 feet of lumber.
The under brush-withes,
ferns, eight to twelve feet tGll, is
so dense in some places as to
present solid wall, and impossi
BILE to walk through-one must
crawl on all fours.
There is not much life in the
woods-a few dear and very
,, few bear. There are no birds
and no coyotes
Mos5 ranches keep a few sheel
or goats. They wander at will,
but are always in the trails.
A railroad is to be built through
this valley right away to hauI
the lumber out. One company
has al, 900 acres Some sections
! l am told will yield 100000. OOC
feet of lumber. The company
, will bring in at least five mills t,
: do the saving. There will be Il
/ depot on o. AS. land.
Wife and will visit ou- two
daughters in California soon, but
will come back here to live.
| My health has greatly improv
; ed l am stronger than at any
/ time in ten years.
Have received but one copy OF
the Herald. Will the editor
please to send two copies for the
first half Of September.
We will hereafter write the
name of the. state in full, as we
hava an idea the papers went tC
! Obiol.
| will write again after our TRIP
to California.

MERCHANTS co
TO SEE PEOPLE
Lambertville Association Had Fine
Trip Around Country on the
Jersey Side of River.
PENNSYLVANIA OUTING NEXT

Lambertville is on the map" was
the watchword handed out by the
score of enthusiastic merchants and
business men who went out Tues
day afternoon upon a big get-ac-
quainted trip through the surround
ing country upon the New Jersey
side of the Delaware.
The next trip will probably be in
Pennsylvania, and it is expected that
the New Hope merchants will CO.
operate by going along over the
route. This would make one of
the biggest movements for the ad-
vancement of the Coryell's Ferry
Community that ever came along.
The start was made at 1.30, the
autos gaily decorated with banners
and pennants. The party included
President Samuel A. Finger, Vice
President Elmer Helms, Secretary
Thomas J. Walker, Treasurer Harry
E. VanHorn, Jacob Helms, Theodore
G. Kitchin, Nelson Rittenhouse,
Jonathan Lambert, Nathaniel Ra-
phael, Meyer Raphael, S. L. Hol-
combe, William H. Beatty, Samuel
w. Kerr, George M. Shamalia, John
Mangan, DR.. Theodore Balderston,
Charles E. Smith.
Stops were made at Stockton,
Rosemont. Green Sergeants' School,
Sergeantsville, Headquarters, Sand
Brook, Ringoes, Rocktown, Linvale
and Woodsville, arriving back in
this city at 5.27, three minutes
ahead of the calculated schedule.
While the party was on its way
the phone was kept busy sending
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1915-05-13

out calls to the people along the
route, with the result that most
of them were watching for the
autos. At each stop the party
divided up into groups, talking and
distributing advertising matter and
other Lambertville booster stuff.
At Stockton, Green Sergeants'
Sergeantsville and Sand Brook the
public schools were visited, and
maps and blotters left for the pupils.
The outing was voted a complete
success, not an accident of any kind
marring the trip, and another will
be undertaken at an early date.
The next trip will probably be
an all-day affair, and will take in
Brownsburg, Taylorsville, Woodhill,
Buckmanville, Pineville. Glendale,
Lahaska, Aquetong, Buckingham,
Holicong, Mechanicsville, Cottage
vile, Carversville, Point Pleasant,
Lumberville, Solebury, and Center
Bridge, with a dinner at one of the
points visited.

MACADAM ROAD
TO DOYLESTOWN
Highway Through Solebury and Me-
gainesville to be Completed
During the Summer.
IT WILL BE MUCH TRAVELLED

The township macadam roads,
partially completed between New
Hope and Doylestown are ex-
pected to be finished this summer,
according to present plans. The
finished highway begins at the in
tersection of the river road and DR..
G. M. Marshall's place, and extends
westwardly for a half mile; it begins
again near Peters Corner and runs
into the pike near Doylestown.
There's about five mile break, all
in Solebury township. 1t is proposed
to complete this without futher
delay.
While little further than the
pike, which passes through Aque-
tong, Lahaska, Holicong, Bucking-
ham and Mechanics Valley, it be
about as good a road, and will be
free of toll.
The additional mile or so in dis
lance will be made up by this
saving, especially for automobiles.
The only heavy grade is at Center
Hill (Solebury village.) aside from
which the highway is nearly level
the whole twelve miles. 1t passes
through Solebury, Peters Corner
and Mechanicsville, and the connect
ing road from Carversville to Peters
Corner is in first class condition, so
that an outlet is also afforded in
that direction. The sections so far
completed rank up in most respects
to state highways, and at far less
cost.
The township road supervisors,
Timothy McCarty, William Miller
and Chester Magill, have decided to
go into the road business heavy this
year. Three dump wagons and
sprinkler wagon will be purchased
Immediately to take care of the new
work under way.
The recently purchased steam
traction engine is being used to
pull the road grading machine, and
some effective work is being done
on the highways, and at reduced
cost over the old method of blowing
and shoveling in the dirt. These
roads are being scraped and then
dragged down hard, which is placing
the highways of Solebury township
in better condition this year than
they have ever been before.
Even the road leading from the
Thompson Memorial church to
MAYORS Corner, a little travelled
thoroughfare. has been put in good
condition, and the supervisors will
undertake several miles of stone
road work during the year.

Lambertville, Last Week.
HELD SIX INTERESTING SESSIONS

The twenty-first annual conven-
ton of the New Jersey Conference

Vile, Friday evening, with most
interesting address upon The Social
Service of the Epworth League" by
Rev. DR.. Herbert N. Shenton, of
Columbia University, New York city,
and secretary of the Philadelphia
Social Service Commission. Other
features of the evening were the
special singing by the choir of Cen
tenary church, and solo by Miss

New officers were elected during
the afternoon, as follows: President,
Rev. Dewitt c.. Cobb, of Trenton;
first vice-president, Rev. Walter F.

rotary, William H. Housed, Trenton:
treasurer, Jacob H. Hoagland, New
Brunswick; Junior League Superin-
tendent, Samuel H. Thompson, Had
don Heights.
The place of holding the next con-
vention was not decided, but left to
the cabinet. A vote of thanks was
passed for the kindnesses extended
Nv the officers and members of Cen
tenary church.
The following resolution opposing
the liquor traffic was adopted: Re
solved, That all our Epworthians en-
list in the war on the liquor traffic,
and as far as possible use the pledges
of the Flying Squadron of America,
and have its pledges signed and re-
turned by June l, 1915"
A resolution, adopted after lively
discussion, provided that the annual
convention hereafter be conducted
as an institute, and it was recon-
mended that the cabinet arrange for
such a session next year, if possible.

reports easier to tabulate.

convertionality a Tyrant.

There is little doubt that one Of the
most oppressive, injurious detestable
forces in the world is the force OF
conventionality, that instinct which
makes men judge character and an ac-
ton. not by its beauty or its merits
but by comparing it with the standard
of how the normal man would regarL
it. writes Arthur c Benson. This vast
and intolerable medium of duliness,
