Lind 5 lev
Gave His Farm i'm
Old Department.
Store Section for
Lewis County
Place Because 1T
Was Larger and
Would Permit
reater Crops


II folk back in 1885 were as certain
of the paths Of progress the city were
to follow as those of o-day are Of the
future OF New York the Lindsey fam
ilv would be one OF the wealthiest
property owners IN town. 1t would be
worth at least S25,ooooo in property,
controlling several blocks in the mid
town section. But William Lindsey. the
head of the family, tossed his fortune
away fer a Lewis Ccunuty farm which
is worth to-day perhaps S450--about IS
an acre.
Mr. Lindsey was a Scotchman and
a marble worker by trade He had
heard much about the wonderful pros
poets held by America for Industrious
people, SO he sailed across the sea. ..ar-
irving here IN 1901. Soon after he
bought a farm, now the two blocks be-
tween Fifth and Sixth avenues, Twen-
ty-frst and Twenty third streets. He
maid very little for it because it was
far outside the city limits, which were
at Canal Street The wide open coun-
try had a greater appeal to him than
the cramped precincts of the city
proper He turned the property into
farm and with earnings from his trade
he provided we'll for his family. On
Sundays he took them across to the.
Madison cottage, at Fifth Avenue and
Twenty-third Street, now the site of
the Fifth Avenue Building. where he
met travellers to and from Albany and
intermediate points and the farmers
OF the section.
Shoyed Little Promise of Great City
New York showed little promise of
developing into the great city that
it is to-day. Farmers and city folks
had talked over things in the Madison
cottage, and the opinion was general
that the city had reached the limit of
its northern development. South of
Canal Street there still was much land
for development Broadway had side
walks only TO Chambers Street and the
stage TO the Madison cottage, one of tile
few houses on Broadway outside of
the city limits, ran but once daily.
The waterfront, on the other nand, was
well developed, because at that time
Uncle Sam led the world in merchant
marine and the rivers and harbor were
dotted with ships waiting a chance to
dock
When peace was restored between
America and England following the War
Of 1872 lot of construction work was
undertaken south of Canal Street and
on the waterfront. The central sec
tions of the city received no attention.
which supported the opinion that they
were destined as the suburbs or agri-
cultural districts Of New York. Mr..
Lindsley long held such views. Real
estate experts of the time did not
think there was much better future for
the interior parts of the island and did
not hesitate to say so, SO sure were
they that this would be the case.
MIR. Lindsey net farmer from NJ

things, one OF his farm in New York
and the other OF his place in Lewis
County. The Conversation developed 8
desl. TIE man from 20 state sue
gested to Mr. Lindsley that they trade
farms. The upstate trader polncee OF
that he was giving a farm of $50
acres for about nine acres, with the
possibilities Of enhancing as great for

the the Lewis County tract as the Twenty
thlrd Street acres.
More Lard, Larger Crops
The reasoning of the man from uo
state made strong impression on
Mr.. Lindsey. With more acres he
could get larger crops, which meant
more money. With so much ground
he could we'll afford TO retire from his
trade of marble cutting, which did not
prove very lucrative because of the
simplicity Of the people
As MIR. Lindsey saw things, the pur-
chase Of the Lewis County farm vas
the best thing for his family, so he
closed the deal. He was firm in his
belief that he had put over deal that
would come out to his advantage.
About the same time anotnec pro
pltious deal was being closed for prop
erty in the same section; in fact, the
realty faced Mr.. Lindsley's farm. Mrs.
Clarissa Moore owned the southwe &
corner of Broadway and Twentieth
Street, the location which Lord & Tay-
ior's abandoned several years ago for
their Fifth Avenue and Thirty ninth
Street store after half century of
occupancy. Mrs. Moore had tried for
many years to sell the property, but
no one cared much for Broadway
realty. Except for lot of rubbish,
which made It popular with goats and
stray animals, Il was unoccupicd
Mrs. Moore, who was one OF the
shrewdest real estate operators in the
city at the time, acquired the property
following a dream she had that the
greatness of lower Broadway was go
ing to stream north to the Madison
cottage and far beyond, because it was

The highway from Plea to Nelson was opened to traffic yesterday, ac- cording to word received at the state highway department from T. S. O'Connell, engineer in charge.
 The construction of this road, 131z miles in length. means the elimina- tion of the Nelson Canyon highway on which for years water and road builders competed for the right of way. water winning each time. The road was practically impossible dur ing the winter because of the rains, while the dust in the canyon in the summer made 1t equally undesirable.
 The road recently constructed is in the western part of Yavapai and Coconino counties. The highway forces will continue its construction to Peach Springs, which will fur- ther reduce the distance between Se- ligman and Kingman. The new road already cuts the distance by many miles. The funds for the road were appropriated by the legislature in the omnibus bill
 Most of the work was done by a giant caterpillar tractor which pulled up the cedar trees by the roots and then built up the grade with large scarifiers and graders. A minimum amount of rock was secured on the line by careful location.

 There are. though, certain unmis- takable signs of hydrophobia, one of which is the restlessness of the dog until he breaks into the running stage" which MT. Canning says can always be relied upon as an evidence of the rabies
 He says that if anybody in Phoenix has a dog that has come under sus- picion and will call him lie will re- spond. and generally he will be able to say whether the suspicion is well grounded.
 There are two kinds of rabies, the running and the dumb. In the lat ter there is little danger. The dog is not only unable. to drink, but he cannot close his jaws. so that he cannot biie. The only danger is that a tooth may strike and dorado the skin.
