Upper West Side Is More
Than Mere Real Estate

The upper West Side of Manhattan is his
toric ground, although few tablets are to be
found. At 106th Street and Broadway fac
ing what is now Straus Park, stood the old
mansion which was the outpost of the British
forces. The Point of Rocks, or the high gound
at 126th Street and Convent Avenue, was the
site Of the most southerly of the American
outworks on Washington Heights. On the
present line of bath Street, between Broad
way and Riverside Drive, stood another re-
doubt. From this point Washington directed
the Battle of Harlem Heights. Washington,
during his advance to the evacuation of New
York in 1868, stopped at Days Tavern. which
stood en- the present line of 126th Street, two
/ hundred feet west Of Eighth Avenue.
The varied history of the Claremont man
sion, just north Of Grants Tomb, is strangely
unfamiliar. 1t was built before the Revolution
by Michael Hogan, once British Consul at
Havana, and named for the royal residence in
Surrey of Prince William, Duke of Clarence,
afterward King William ". The duke and
Hogan had seen service together in the British
Navy, and the future King once visited Hogan
at his town house in Greenwich Street in
1892 The Claremont mansion was afterward
occupied by Viscount Courtenay, later Earl of
Devon, who from its porches saw the first
trip of Fulton's Clermont in 1867. The
mansion became the home of Joseph Bonaparte
in 1915.
The historic associations Of Central Park
are too little known A large area in the
northeastern section played an important part
during the Revolution. The fiat plateau east
of McGowns Pass Tavern was leveed off to
oh ,r1 haiti aoJ
some coo feet to the north single tablet
marks the site of Fort Clinton. The earth
works which are still visible were thrown up
in 1914 by volunteer forces, including Column
bia College students the Tammany Society ard
the Master Butchers Association. The Me
Gowns Pass Tavern stands on the site of
the original building dating from 1880 Dur
ing the Civil War it was used as a hospital.
On the old post road running through the
pass body Of American troops was pursued
by British troops in 1776. Later the British
occupied the pass and erected number OF
carthworks, which they occupied during the
war. Interesting relics have been discovered
on their site.
The northern section of Manhattan Island,
like the extreme southern end, is especially
rich in historic associations During the Revo~
luton the fiat lands north of Fort George
were occupied by British and Hessian camps
for several years. 1t is estimated that sopa-
10000 troops in all were quartered here from
time to time. The British redoubts and en-
brasures may still be traced at Fort George
near 190th Street. Near Audubon Avenue
stood an officers camp of the British army.
Fort George, later called Fort Clinton, was
constructed in ITS and taken by the British
later in the same year The British extended
the fortiication, part of which may still be
seen opposite 1921 Street, east of Audubon
Avenue. The hill was well known in the early
days and was known as Round Meadow Hilp'
before 100.

The old mansion in which Edgar Allan Poe
once lived in Church Street, just back of Trim
ity, has disappeared, but the site is very inter-
esting from its literary associations Hero

of Greenwich Street. party of daring Con-
tinental soldiers conceived the plan of landing
some dark night at the of Arnold's
house and kidnapping him before he could give
the alarm and get the protection of British
soldiers The plans were completed, but
the day before they were to be carried out
Arnold suddenly moved to another part of the
city. 1t has never been discovered if he was
warned of the attack or moved by chance.
The home of Robert Fulton stood on Battery
Place, next door but one to Broadway 1t was
here that Fulton planned the invention which
was to- revolutionize water traffic. Many times
Fulton must have walked along Battery Place
looking out over the waters which his invention
was to transform into the busiest harbor in the
world. 10 tablet marks tine site on which the
Clerr>1nt was built and launched at Corlears
Hook. A still more interesting point, which
remains unmarked, was the site of the dock
from which the Clermont made its first de-
parture. The dock stood on the present line
of Greenwich Street, several blocks inland
from the Hudson River.
The home of John Ericsson stood on Charles
Street, facing the railroad freight depot which
replaced the old park. Much of his work was
done in a little workshop laboratory on the
roof of this mansion Another house left
standing, from an even earlier period, was the

~FW YORK should have at least
IA twenty times its present number of
commemorative tablets and statues.
The various markers raised from time to time
in the city's streets are entirely disproportion-
ate to their wealth Of historic associations.
Tho area of Manhattan is SO limited and has
been the scene of so many stirring events that
there is scarcely street without its historic
mast. The commemorative tablet teaches
very simple and direct lesson in history which
he who runs may read.
Most of these unmarked historic spots are
naturally found in The lower section of the
island. 1t is not generally realized that the
area of lower Manhattan was originally only
about one-haf what it is to-day. On the mar
Greenwich Street and on the east by Pearl
Street occurred I surprising number Of his
torc events. Doubtless there is no other area
Of equal extent in the country so rich in asso-
cations
How many persons in the throngs which
daily pass Bowling Green have ever heard of
the tragedy enacted there during the British
bomba rdment of the city? There is no tablet
to record the fact, and the district gains a
new interest from the association. When the
guns Of the British fleet were turned on New
York in 1776 there were few land batteries to
answer their fire. The city was in a panic.
No section was safe The guns were natur-
ally aimed at the principal buildings far down

marker of any kind has ever been raised here

events well worth recording. Washington
iiVeo on the west side Of Broadway, just below
Rector Street, but no tablet records the site of
the original Executive Mansion. Lower
broadway was in those days a stately old
street, lined with fine mansions and shaded
by great trees. In fine weather Washington
was familiar figure in this section, going to
and from the Capitol building in Wall Street.
Although no one would care to commemorate
the fact, it is interesting to recall that Bene-
dict Arnold, after his disgrace and on seeking
refuge in New York, then occupied by the
British, lived on the west side of Broadway
just above Bowling Green. The back yard of
his house ran down to the shores of the Hudson

his wife and child in the ferry house while
he secuted for cheap room, which he found
on Church Street. Poe has told of his suffer-
ing from poverty in those days, and it was
here that he did much of his writing.
The famous White Hall, the home of Gov
ernor Stuyvesant, stood at the southwest cor
ner of Whitehall and Pearl streets. The First
Dutch Church Of New Amsterdam stood at
SO Pearl Street There is nothing to mark
the spot except that the modern building which
now occupies the site is in the Dutch style of
architecture. Near by stood the Bank Mill,

spirit which he created and the ideals
which he fostered are imperishable
things, and they are triumphantly
working today for the achievement
of his victories. In one way or an-
other they are prevailing, not only
here but every where. America is
carrying on. 1t is maintaining the
spiritual leadership he established.
All honor is due to Harding and
Hughes for the work they are ac-
complaining. We need not depreciate
them in the least in giving due credit
to Wilson, But as time softens the
bitterness and the bias of partisan
passion and prejudice, the greatness
OF Woodrow Wilson'S work for US
and for all humanity is becoming
more and more clear, and. more and
more it demands that acknowledge
ment to which Mr. Fess has justly
given voice. Crippled by the wounds
incurred in his battle for "peace on

row Wilson is no longer seen nor

then can say that he failed?

death Of my death son, Elwood Col

Why shun them in our secret tho't?

Oh, let us hold our desr ones close,
Closer and closer, when they move
Beyond the veil! For no one knows

Deputy Game Warden to Examine Silve
Dam.
(Farmington News.)

4
F. M. Bass, of Perry vile, Deputy
Game Warden, passed through Farm.
ington yesterday enroute to Madison
county to investigate Silver Dam. He
told The News that he had been or
dered to make this investigation and
report to State Game and Fish Com
missioner Middleton whether or not
he finds the dam an actual obstruc-
tion to the free and easy passage OF
fish up and down the river. HIS said
funds had been provided, he under
stood, by those interested in securing
relief to have the obstruction remov-
ed if it were found to be such and that
the game and fish department would
certainly see that the law is complied
with.
For each Of the past two years
eight times as many hunting and fish
ing licenses have been taken out in
st. Francois county as in Madison
county although our population is
not quite three times as large. There
is growing feeling here, however,
that if the game and fish department
ignores the law by permitting our
streams to be obstruoted that it can
not justly expect our people to re-
.spect the law it thus may ignore
The News trusts this year, however,
will be a banner one in this county in
the number of licenses issued aDo
that the game and fish department
will show similar good works in clear
ing our streams of any obstruction
found therein. No one, we believe
lin this county wants to see Silver
Dam destroyed, but they do want an
opening made in. it that will serve
the plain letter and intent OF the law

Indicted Henchmen of Newberry Get
Federal Jobs.

Senator Newberry's henchmen in
Michigan who were indicted with him
are now receiving their rewards il
the way of appointments to promin
.ent Federal positions, according to
a statement made recently in the
Senate by Senator King Dem, ,Utah),
who said:

ters to which l referred. One OF them
states that Mr.. Henry O. Myers, o
Caro-, Mich, who was indicted at
Grand Rapids, has been nominated for
postmaster at Caro-, one of the best
paying offices in the county. The
letter says: is this a reward for dis
tributing money to gain nomina-
tion for ofice?'
'sMyers' name will soon be sent to
the Senate for confirmation.
"Another letter which Ihave states:
asl understand that FIVE major
Federal appointments have been made
in Michigan under the present adj
ministration, and with one exception,
i. g., the collector Of Internal revenue
at Detroit, all Of such appointments
have been from the Newberry organ

were indicted with Newberry by o

Taxation Facts.
tIllmo Jimplicute.) !

Ullmo Jimplicute.)
Here are some figures given to the
Jimplicute by one of the largest tax
pay ers in this end of the county and
are taken from his tax receipts. The
tax com mission at Jefferson City are
travelling over the state spreading a
| lot of bull that the taxes of the farmer
have not been increased under Re-
publican rule. Here are the figures.
In 1921, the state tax on his city
property was $l,52 less thah' in 1920;
county tax $500 more; road tax,
$4. IL less; court house SO cents less;
school, $47.73 more road bonds and
interest, 81 40 less, making total OF
$40 70 more taxes to pay in 1921 thar
in 1920, Now we come to his farm
property. State $37.12 more than in
1920; road bonds and interest $177 "a
more than in 1920; county $S1.06
more; school, $2S5.7S; making total
of $58l.20 more taxes to pay on his
farm lands in 1921 than in 1920. Yet
in the face of such figures, which are
absolutely correct, the members Of
this commission are sending out
propaganda by the wagon load from
Jefferson City telling bow they have
reduced taxes in the state; they know
they are lying every time they make
the statement and Mr.. Casper Roth
of this city who owns ten acIe farm
knows they are are lying; his tax re-
ceipt for 1921 as compared with his
receipt for 1920, convinces him OF the
fact.
