SAW MILL BURNED.

The saw mill belonging to Samuel
Fitzgerald, that has been located in
the timber tract on the Pierce farm,
near Harrisville, for some months,
was totally destroyed by fire of un-
known origin at an early hour on
Friday morning last, together with
the traction engine that furnished
power, and other valuable machin-
cry, causing a loss of $2,500, with
but small insurance. About seven
o'clock in the morning a call was re-
ceived by the Community Fire Co.
The mill had been totally destroyed,
it is stated, before the fire was dis
covered, but lumber was ablaze.
The engine had reached the foot
of Pigeon Hill, west of town, when
magneta trouble developed and it
could proceed no further. The Port
Deposit Co., was telephoned and
their engine responded, members of
the Rising Sun company helping to
man it, and assist in extinguishing
the burning lumber.

HELD LIABLE FOR NOTE,
United States Distrist Court Renders
Decision.


Decision.
The United States Distrist Court
of Appeals, sitting at Richmond, Va,
has reversed the United States Dis
trict Court for Maryland, in it's de-
cision favorable to ex-senator Omar
D. Crothers, of Elkton, in regard to
his liability for an accommodation
note for $4,000. The>note was given
to the late VIM. T. Warburton, presi-
dent of the Second National Bank of
Elkton, and rediscounted by the
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.
The Federal Reserve Bank sued Mr..
Crothers for recovery of the amount
of the note which he denied liability,
on the ground that Warburton used
it for purpose not intended by the
signor. A verdict favorable to Mr..
Crothers was rendered in the U. S.
District Court for Maryland, and an
appeal was taken. There are num-
ber of other similar suits to be tried
against Elktonians.

FEW BIRDS RELY ON SMELL
Only Three Are Known to Make Use
Of This Sense--the Dove, Buzz
zard and Jay.

1t is rather curious fact that only
three of the common birds seem to
make any constant use Of their valu-
able sense of smell, says the Review of
Reviews. These are the turtle dove
(close relative of the famous, now ex-
tinct passenger pigeon) the turkey buz-
zard and the famous Canada jay, COM
mon about hunters camps in the north
eastern woods.
Hunters believe that the whisky
jacks" as they are commonly called,
assemble as soon as they detect the
smoke of campfire, and the writer
has seen them coming from distance,
in the deep forest where a campfire had
been kindled, to watch the builders Of
it, and steal any grub" they could find.
They are as bold as brass" about this
operation, as the hunters say. The
present writer has had them pilfer ba-
con he held in his very hands, in the
Canadian woods.
The buzzards gather freely wherever
carrion is displayed. They are valu-
able as scavengers, and are protected
by the laws of several states. Their
aerial movements often reveal the
whereabouts Of a dead horse or COW,
on which they gather for grand feast.
This is plainly the result Of the op-
GRAFTON of their sense of SMELL which
must be preternaturally acute. They
are never seen to attack any creature
that shows a sign of life, but they will
sit around, gravely SILENT and watch
an expiring cow until she is quite dead,
and then descend for their feast, which
is ravenous one and thoroughly COM
pleted.
There are plenty of visible evidences
that these birds actually do rely upon
their sense Of smell for this work. yet
the same sort Of evidence seems to be
lacking from the other birds who eat
putrid tissue, and must know its odor.
The northern trappers hate this feath-
cred robber, which they often find
clutched in trap they had carefully
set for a mink or other fur+bearng
mammal. If a Canada jay. or buz-
zard finds such . trap, he Is pretty
likely to rob and spring it, and it is
little satisfaction to the trapper to
find the lifeless bird in the traps
jaws

Mayor McAvoy of Fort Lee, made the
presentation speech. There was
photograph made of the group. of
"Palisade Pioneers" which was pub
lished in The Palisadian. 1t was an
interesting picture and long-to-be re-
m embered occasion. A short while
later the borough bought a portable
house for the reel and it was placed
on one Of w. j. FoeppeTs lots in Cum
bermede road. Later it was moved
to it's present site in Bluff road just
in the rear of the Frew home.
In Two Boroughs
For. several years Palisade was in
two boroughs. The car tracks ran
along Washington avenue (now Abb
bott boulevard and all property west
of the tracks was in Palisades Park,
all east of the tracks was in the bor-
ough of Fort Lee. There were sew
eral campaigns looking to the making
of a borough out of Palisade alone,
but they failed. Then began a fight
to break away from Palisades Park
and put all Palisade with Fort Lee
There were two factions on this pro-
posal, and the fight was long and bit
ter. Many wanted to remain in Pali-
sades Park, but finally the factions
got together at the home of Richard
Bennett one Sunday afternoon and the
matter was adjusted then and there,

1908 to 1919. While a great many
new families moved in during this
eleven year period, it was a deadly
time among realty men, except for
deals" in the way of lot trading. The
present era of improvement began
nearly four years ago and the popula-
tion has more than quintupled.
Present Population
From the best sources the present
population is estimated at from 2,200
to $500. Ask Bertha Grabosky, our
talented postmistress, and she will
say it is nearer 1000, based on the
ever increasing postoffice work and
mail. From a fourth rate postoffice
Palisade is now high grade third rate
postoffice and growing rapidly. Con
Quoted as it is Palisade should be
proud of it's postoffice
I find that to cover all there is
that would be interesting in a remi-
niscent article would require longer
space than l am allowed, so I have
concluded to continue these looking

longer.

USE INDIAN CANOES IN ITALY
American Craft Become Popular and

The American Indian canoe, which

The graceful Indian water convey

American canoes as models and then
began turning them out by the scores
