Five Good Reasons
for Completing the
Elba-Oakley Road
Eiba Valley Would Make
Valuable Addition to Our
Trade Territory

There are five good reasons why
the Elba-Oakley road should oe
completed at once. so as to give the
people OF Elba valley an automobile
read to Oakley, distance of nine
teen miles.
The greatest reason of all is that
it's worth while to add Elba to our
trade territory. Elba has popuia-
iion of about three hundred The
valley is beautiful one and ideal
for the dairy industry. Dairy COWS
number between four and five hun
d. ed and the industry is yet in it's
infancy. About 10000 bushels of
grain was shipped from the district
last year. The people of the COM
munity are of high type and pleas
ant to deal with.
A second reason for completing
this road is that 1t would enable
Oakley people to go within four
miles of the famous Independence
lakes by car. With so much accom-
plished, an auto road for the rest Of
the distance to the lakes would un-
doubtedly be built within year OF
two. Independence lakes are the
one spot in this county where nature
has lavishly spread her purple pat
ches. Any movement that will make
Independence lakes more readily ac-
cessible has the support of The Her
aid.
A third reason for completing this
road is that it will open the way TO
large stand of Alpine fir, Douglas
fir and Lodgepole pine.
A fourth reason for the move is
that it will help to open an impor-
tant mining district. George Myers
mines are along the route.
A fifth reason for completing the
road is that it will give the people
OF one end of the Almo country bet
ter access to Oakley.
At present it's from AZ to As miles
from Elba to Oakley by auto-de
pending on the route The new road |
VIII make the distance by car only /
10 miles. The people have been
trading largely at Burley and Ru-
pert, 36 miles distant The new
road will bring Oakley within about
half that distance. The new Elba
Oakley road will be smoother, on the
average, than the Elba-Burley road. \

loans to the farmers in that part of
the country"
1t is also explained by the bank
that dependent upon the money mar
ket they will have funds with which
to- complete all loans approved At
this time the bank has sufficient
funds with which to lose all loans
that have been applied for from var
ious other districts which have been
approved. And while it has been in
timated that this bank might not
have the funds with which to close
loans that may be approved on this
project, it is stated by the bank that
while this is possible 1t is also very
unlikely.
That the above position is taken
toward this project by an institution
officered by such men as Heber j.
Grant, president; w. W. Armstrong,
vice president; John c. Cutler,
treasurer; Charles H. West, secreta-
ry; w. H. Joyce, managing director;
Wilson Mccarthy, general counsel;
should be reassuring to the settlers
oil the project.
Again, these statements are not
made by this institution without
knowledge of what we have here, as
Mr.. West, the secretary, and Mr..
Walsh, their local appraiser, visited
the porject. looked it over thorough
ly and made fun investigation of
its possibilities before the date of
the letter from which the above is
quoted.

We're Proud of the Ads

We decided Monday that our

IL they didn't see a coal ad. an
overcoat ad and a hunting sup
ply adj in the paper this week.
SO we went up town and sold
a coal ad to Marion Hatch OF the

Roy Eames of the Golden Rule,
and hunting supply ad to Mr..

HERALD ADVISES ALL
TO READ B OOKS
A N D P Err IODICALS

The Herald hopes to have every
family in southern and eastern Cas-
sia county on it's mailing list before
the end of the subscription contest.
We believe that The Oakley Herald
should be in every home in this Sec
tion. In addition to this, we believe
that every family should take a dali
! ly paper, as we'll as magazines and
periodicals. In cooperation with the
schools of the community, The Her.
aid will attempt this winter to take
a sort of census of what the people
are reading
Every home should be well sup
piled with books. 1t isn't necessary
that the covers be of leather but
the contents should be the best.
If you have but two dollars, spend
one and buy books to feed your
mind. Reading cannot take the
place of contact with practical af-
fairs, but it is essential to the men-
tai development of most people
Now that the schools of the county
are opening, we are reminded that
all the worlds a school and all the
men and women merely students.
The trouble comes when some of
them quit trying to learn. Many a
divorce results because a man and
his wife cease developing mentally
After they have heard the three or
four stock anecdotes from each 9TH
er for 1878 times and the seven or
eight trite illusions 1894 times, the
glory of the dream has departed.
There results condition of boredom
that is unstable. To urge the cou-
pie to continue living in a state of
boredom is scarcely the correct pre-
scription. Rather they should de-
velop a community of intellectual
interests which would destroy the
boredom forever.
We hope that none of our married
friends will ever grow into what
Charles j. Finger (the brilliant edi-
.or of "AlPs Well" Fayetteville,
Arkansas) calls "a musty, fusty old
pair, yawning in each others faces
IN front porch in utter vacuity.''

If his wife what man once said of
woman who wasn't his wife:

The most sensational development
in the contest since last Friday has
been the rise of Miss Leola Fairchild
from fourth place to first. Soon af-
ter last weeks Herald was publish
ed she rose to third place. and today
she advanced from third to first.
Miss Tessa Smith held first place
this week from Monday till Friday.
People are wondering who will
stand first nett Friday. and who
next Saturday at the close of the
first period of the contest. The race
is divided into three periods, with
votes on a different schedule in the
different periods. First period ends
September 30; second period ends
October %; third period ends Octo-
ber 81. Votes cast before the close
of the first period will count more
tEan if held and cast in later per-

There is considerable speculation
as to which candidate will be the
ffirst to reach the million mark.
Miss Leola Fairchild and Miss Tessa
Smith each have more than third

more to that than perhaps even

A new angle in the enforcement of
prohibition was that taken yester-
day when Peter Brenkiewcz of
Woodbridge, was arraigned before
United States Commissioner John A.
Delaney on the charge of permitting
a tenant on his property to possess
and manufacture liquor with more
than one half of one per cent. of all
cohol and allowing him to possess
an unregistered still. Brentkiewcz
who was represented by Stephen f.
Somogyi was held under $1,000 bail
for the action of the federal grand
jury. Bail was furnished by Michael
Schultz.
According to this arrest it would
seem that property owners are to be
held responsible if tenants to whom
they rent or lease their property use
it for the manufacture of liquor.
Brentkiewcz, had rented the proper
ty to Harry Mycak, who was also
arrested and placed under $500
bail for the action of the federal

TROLLEY CARS
ON SCHEDULE
All Public Service Cars Re-
sumo Normal Operations
Many Ride on Cars

The Public Service trolleys re-
sumed normal operations in this
city this morning, being on hand to
take many commuters, factory and
office employees to work for the first
time in over two months. The cars
were managed by crews composed
of about ninety per cent. of the
veterans who went out on strike
when the company refused to meet
their demands. Only a few new
faces were to be seen among the
crews.
Both the Newark fast line and
the yellow" cars are now running
in this city according to the old
schedule. Many persons who have
been forced to use the buses dur
ing the strike abandoned this mode
of travel and went back to the
trolleys this morning.
A fast line trolley car ran into
the rear of the automobile of Char
les Miller, of $50 Jacques street,
early last night. Motorman Hans
Krogelund was in charge of the
trolley car The accident was
caused by the wet tracks, according

the accident, the traffic officer sug-
gested that new parking place be
Obtained for the buses due to the

a fire apparatus to pass when a
trolley and bus, are stopped near
the corner.

SAY W|FEBEATER
STABBED MAN

Arrest is Made in Case and
Investigation by Police is
Started
interference CAUSE

AS a result of telling an upstairs
neighbor to cease beating his wife,
Roman Marek, thirty-four years old,
widower of $50 Hartford street is
in the local hospital in a serious con-
dition from stab wounds about the
head and body.
1t was after midnight last night
when Marek called to John Uzer,
who resides on the second floor of
the building at 500 Hartford street,
when it is charged. Uzer was en-
gagged in beating his wife. Uzer
told Marek to mind his own busi-
ness and the latter offered him out
in the backyard.
The invitation was accepted, and
after Marek had sent in a right
flooring his opponent, the witebeater
got to his feet and pulled a knife.
Marek was stabbed under the right
eye, and many lose the sight of his
eye as a result of the wound; near
the left shoulder, a wound seven
inches long; just above the left tenn
pie, twice in the back near the left
shoulder and once on the left wrist.
The Uzer. woman is the only one
who witnessed the stabbing.
After Marek hid been cut to the
satisfaction of his opponent, the lat
ter went upstairs to bed and the
wounded man made his way to a
couch in his own home. A young
son went out in search of physi-
clan and encountered Officer Will
liam Kilmurray at the corner of
State and Washington streets.
Officer Kilmurray received infor-
nation from the boy and notified
police headquarters. Lieutenant
Andrew Jensen detailed Chauffeur
william Buchan to pick up OHcer
James Egan, the man on beat, and
the Hartford street home was visit
ed. DR.. Coble was called to the
home by the boy.
Make Arrest
Uzer admitted the stabbing when
questioned by Officers Buchan and
Egan, and he was placed under ar
rest on an atrocious assault and
battery complaint. DR.. Coble was
without paraphernalia to stitch the
wounds, and the wounded man was
taken to DIR. j. V. Smiths office,
He was later removed to the City
Hospital and today is being attend
ed by DIR. M. S. Meinzer. Marek
lost considerable blood after the
stabbing.
When arraigned before Recorder

held in $1,000 bail to await the
action of the grand jury, and was
taken to the county Jail in default
of bail. The police did excellent
work in clearing up the case.

PROGRAM ANNOUNCED FOR
COMMUNITY entertainment

1t is not often that people of Perth
Amboy and vicinity are offered an
artist of such high calibre and such
big artistic reputation as Sascha
Jacobsen. the Russian violinist, who
will appear there on October 9th at
the High School Auditorium.
AS an instance of the standing
which Mr.. Jacobsen has attained in
New York it will be recalled that
he was one of the artists who took
part in perhaps the greatest con-
cert ever given in that city of noted
musical events. The occasion was
the War Thrift Concert given at the
Metropolitan Opera House on March
-, 1918.
Such an aggregation of stars as
appeared on that program is almost
without precedent and that Mr..
Jacobsen was invited to appear in
such distinguished company surely
proves his extraordinary worth. The
list reads like the roster of the lead
ing American opera companies since
it included Louise Homer, contralto;
Georges Baklanoff, baritone; Florence
Macbeth, coloratura soprano: Helen
Stanley soprano; Mabel Garrison,
coloratura soprano; Lucien Mura-
tore. tenor; Alice Nielsen, soprano;
Giovanni Martineui, tenor; Percy
Granger and Leo Ornstein, pianists.

RESCUE CREW
IN BOAT FIRE
Great Damage in Blaze
Aboard Steamer Fran in
the Lower Bay
CREW IN LIFE BOATS
Taken on Board Government
Dredge Working in That
Vicinity-Barber Cargo

Damage amounting to many thou
sands of dollars, resulted to the
steamer Fran, under charter by the
Barber Asphalt Company. when the
engine room of the vessel was found
to be in flames while the boat las
at anchor in the lower bay at 4
o'clock yesterday morning. The fire
for a time threatened to consume
the entire vessel and became so dan
gerous that the crew took to the life
boats and were taken on board by
the government dredge at work on
the channel in the bay.
AS soon as the crew had been
rescued, the crew of the dredge turn
ed their attention to saving the
burning vessel and several streams
of water were played on the fire by
the crew of the dredge which is a
large ocean going affair. The fight
proved successful, as the vessel was
saved from entire destruction, al
though much of the superstructure
was burned away, including the en-
CINE room and officers quarters
Through hard work on the part of
the crews of the vessel and the
dredge the blaze was extinguished
before it had burned the captain s
quarters or those of the crew. The
cause of the fire could not be learn
ed up to press time.
Late yestei day the vessel was
towed by tugs to its dock at plant
where the unloading of the cargo OF
crude asphalt began. As soon as tht
cargo has been removed the Fran
will be placed in dry dock and re.
paired. Besides the burned super
| structure of the vessel, the machin
ery in the engine room has also beer
! considerably damaged. The Fran
| is a Norwegian steamer used by tn
Barber Asphalt Company to trans
| port crude asphalt from Soutl
America to the plant here.
