A GREAT OPPORTUNITY

New York is greatly agitated over the question of port develop
ment. The congestion in New York harbor has become so great that
a number of the leading steamship lines lave served notice that unless
something is done to afford relief they will seek some other Atlantic
port for their shipping.
boy to exploit her harbor facilities to great advantage. 1t is signif-
cant that the United States government picked this immediate vicn-
iy a the most available spot on the whole Atlantic coast for the
shipment of munitions and supplies abroad. This section was chosen
mainly because of the excellent railroad and water facilities combined
with the nearness to the greatest labor market in the world. If the
facilities for shipping in this vicinity is so advantageous to the United
States government, why should it not be equally advantageous to in
dividuak and corporations2
True, most of the government shipments were made by lghtering,
bay for big vessels to come here. But it is known that the greater
only one or two shallow spots to make the port of Perth Amboy al
most as accessible to heavy shipping as is New York.
With the broad bay tosail i'll, the Narrows would be avoided and
the movement of vessels would be much safer than at present in the
upper New York Bay. Being within eighteen or twenty miles of the
metropolitan fact, being included within the metropolitan district,
there is every reason why shipping should come here if there is the
right kind of agitation.
1t has been already shown that with a comparatively little dredg-
ing the river front from the Central Railroad to Brighton avenue
could be utilized as piers for ocean steamships, with railroad sidings
running direct to the pier-heads. The Gregory property, which has
just been turned over to the city, was bought for the sole purpose
OF commercial development. 1t only remains for the Wonderland
beach property, which lies between the Gregory property and the
railroad, and which was bought by the city for park purposes, to be
tuned over to the harbor board for commercial development along
with the Gregory tract, to make an ideal terminal.
Perth Amboy now has a great opportunity with the right kind of
planning under the direction of far seeing men. 1t il TO be hoped that
the opportunity will not be lost.

Famous Women
Aisse. the Slave Girl

Aisse was a slave girl. born in Cir
cassia in 1859. She was purchased NV
the Count de Ferriol, French am
bassador at Constantinople. when she
was four year old. She grew to be
a beautiful woman. and the count
took her to France where he educat-
ed her. She had many s~uitors, among
whom was the Duke OF Orleans. but
n avoided them all and remained
faithful to her benefactor. She did.
however, fall In love with the Cheva-
Her Aidy. who had taken the vows of
Malta. He wished to obtain a release
from them. but Aisse herself opposed
the attempt. Later she became a
derelict and died at the age of thirty
eight in England.

Terrible slaughter OF Turks-Thous-
ands Die in Great Drive.
Within Uncle Sans dominions there
are about 100000. 900 people. and a
large proportion of these are conf
IDENTITY looking forward to dining upon
Turkey next Thursday. The annual
slaughter OF the turks has been In
progress for some days, and the great
drive" has already cost the lives of
u~nnumbered thousands of the typt-
caily American birds. Those who have
escaped will doubtless take but a
melancholy interest in the coming fes-
~tivities, for they are reserved for the
Christmas feast.
The turkey is a native of the New
World. and. in justice to him. 1t is
but fair to say hat he has nothing
to do with the Ottoman Empire. How
he got his name isn't known, although
many theories ave been advanced.
The turkey IA introduced to Eu-
rope from America in h first half of
the sixteenth century. h wild
American birds were first homestead
ed in Spain, to which country they
had been brought from Mexico. The
turkey before the fifteenth century had
closed, had won general recognition
in Europe as the ideal Christmas
bird. On this side of the Atlantic
the colonies OF New England early
succeeded In concentrating the turkey
and made 1t the piece de resistance Of
the Thanksgiving feast. =
There are two distinct kinds of tur-
kew, the North American and the Gen.
trail American. The latter. found in
Guatemala and Honduras. Is smaller
and more brilliant of plumage than
its northern relative. The northern
wild turkey Is now practically extinct.
The domestic turkey is of seven varfe-
ties, the bronze being the largest and
most highly valued, the other being
the Narragansett. Bourbon Red,
Black. White Holland, Slate and Buff.
The Bronze gobblers usually weigh
between thirty and forty pounds.
The turkey still preserves more OF
its wild nature than any other va
riety of domesticated poultry. It is
the true bird of liberty. and cannot

is expected to thrive he must DE free
TO roam at large. Tho Rhode Island
and Connecticut birds are usually cot
sidered the best favored. owing to
their diet of chestnuts. The late Hor-
ace Vose Of Westerly. r. l.. provided
the turkey for the White House feast
for forty-three years or moro. He
sent lbs prize bird each ear to grace
the Presidents table and every PreG-
ident from Grant to Wilson has rea-
son to praise his good Judgment in
the selection OF turkeys.
