MORE ATTRACTIVE THAN EVI1T

MORE ATTRACTIVE THAN WEB
The Raritan Yacht Club. h oldest
and one Of the most respected or
ganizations in the city started on a new
and promising year Monday night
when the annual election of othcers
took place. The event, bringing the
club once more before the public,
tends to remind one of the extensive
improvements that have been going
on at the club house in Water street
during the winter giving the club a
home that will be hard to surpass by
any similar organization in the state.
Following the destruction of the old
club house in Front street a few years
ago the club purchased the old Cooper
estate on the Bluff including valuable
lwaterfront rights. The house is
ideally located, but being an old
fashioned dwelling, 1t was at best a
~make-shift as a club house. The club
fitted 1t up we'll, however. and got
along very nicely for several years
Last fall another step forward was
! taken when the contract was let for
an assembly and dance hall to be
added to the north side of the house
and alterations were made to the first
floor of the house giving a large club
room with open stairway. This work
is low completed and the club is to be
congratulated upon its excellent faclil-
ties for carrying out it's social pro
gram.
The new assembly hall is, without
exception, one of the finest to be found
anywhere in these parts. For club
purposes it cannot be excelled. The
fact that the club is willing to rent
the hall affords a rare opportunity for
private parties and small affairs. IL
will be especially attractive In summer
with the large doors opening off from
the dance floor to a broad concrete
promenade running the full width OF
the property and commanding q
superb view of the bay.
Clubs have come and clubs ave
gone, but the Raritan Yacht Club has
outlived them all. Upon entering q
new year under the leadership OF
Commodore X. w. McComas the out
look is exceedingly bright. The COM
ing season promises to be the most
successful the club has yet enjoyed.

Even when a man has the courage

There Is also a sign that presages
extraordinary and sudden changes

During this rule the mind may be

In comparison with most places
Perth Amboy has done remarkably
we'll. The plows and scrapers have
opened the main arteries of traffic and
the city wagons and trucks have re-
duced the piles along the curps for a
considerable distance in different
directions from State and Smith
streets. While the streets are nowhere
near what they should be, the street
department could hardly do any more
than it has been doing.
The great difficulty now is going to
be getting the cutters open so that the
water can run off readily as the TO-
melts. With the street scrapers piling
the snow up on the side from the
center of the street toward the curb,
and. with the people shoveling the
snow off the sidewalk into the gutter,
the space between the middle of the
road and the sidewalk has been bank
ed high. 1t is next to impossible for
the city pillow to get through as the
snow Is too deep for the horse The
one solution seems to be for property
owners to do what they can to open
the cutters. especially at the receiving
basins.
We are in for a week of good, slush5
weather once the thaw sets in anc
there will be danger of more sickness
Anything the individual can do, there
fore, to help make the snow go faster
whether, it is ones particular business
or not, will be well worth while from
a selfish as we'll as from a public poln
of view.
The one big thing before us o i
to get rid of the snow.

Of a bulletin to the leading industries

lack of immigration during the war
and the emigration to home countries,

other causes. calls attention to the fact
that the United States is not h only

PIRATES several hundred thousand

Agents are stationed In the principal
Furopean cities. They have with them
travelling exhibits of Canada's oppor-
tunities. The government pays bonus
to steamship offices for selling passage
tickets to Canada.

with the shipping companies for re-
duced fares for desirable immigrants.

rate Is II cents q bushel.

did not complete their work and
turn in the results until a late hour
this morning. The outside precincts
were about the same, therefore it
vas not possible to secure a COM
plete report of the county vote be-

The entire republican county ticket
is elected by pluralities that will
probably go over 1000 when the
figures are complete. The outstand-
ing feature OF the county campaign
was the thrilling race for represen-

republican nominee, E. j. Hook, in
dependent. and Frank Jewell. demo-
cratic nominee. Gilbertson Is elected
by safe majority, but Hook made
n remarkable and effe.s.ve campaign
as an Independent candidate, and it
looked for time that he might win.
At four o'clock this morning the re-
turns received were a tie between
them, but after that Gilbertson
steadily gained, and will win by
several hundred.
