In 1S35 the cataract of Niagara could
not be seen from a foot ot American
soil without raying aiul paylr.ig round
ly, too for the privilege. Toduy there
are no charges, except 10 cents at the
incline railway ar.kl a fee for a water
proof suit and guide for the Cave of the
Winds; but this place may be visited
without payment of fee if one chooses
to venture -alone and doesn't heed the
wetting. With these exceptions, every
foot of line 107 acres In thestate reserva
tion at Niagara Falls Is for the public
u?e. to stroll In, to rest Int, to phvilc In,
without t'harge. The vhitor Isn't even
asked to keep off the grass. Tin ordin
ances enacted by the commissioner.,
and enforced 'by a small and civil con
stabulary, are only what are needed.
Thrre Is no surveillance that the ordin
ary well-behaved visitor Is aware of,
and rhe feeling of unrestrained own
ership adds Immeasurably to his enjoy
ment. Ten years of free Niagara have seen
160 disfiguring bulldkigs cleared away,
new vlftas opened, and 'beauty ppots
developed which were not thoucht of,
at least by the public, ten years ago.
The American bank above Prospect
park had been .for so Ions built over
with mills and sheds, hotels and ba
sa'ars, that no adequate conception of
the place, as It would be If cleared ot
these encumbrances, existed In the
minds even of those who knew Niagara
well. Rut when, after a few year?, the
ground was cleared, and when, yet
later, It was beautlMej, It was actually
a new Nlngara which the visitor saw.
Today one may stroll up the American
shore aero? a well-kept lawn planted

Sscnsry Not Impaired.
So much Is said of the Industrial de
velopment at Niagara Falls that the
Impression may naturally have gone
abroad that the scenery Is In Jeopardy.
It Is well to remind the public thnt
what the state owns at Niagara and
It owns all of the essential "scenery"
Is not only secure against the vandal
Ism of the old days, but that, under
the policy of Improvement, both on the
American and Canadian sides of the
river, the surroundings of the falls are
more beautiful today than they ever
were before since tho human Invasion
began. Government ownership of nat
ural scenery, which was a new and un
certain departure In state policy ten
years ago, has been well tried, and Is a
success.
The cost of It Has after all been trif
ling. The state , paid $1,4SS.429.50 for
the lands taken. There has been appro
priated for maintenance, 1883 to 1S94,
IW5.000, and for special improvements,
$120,000 more. But the park has turned
considerable money Into the state treas
ury. Nearly 114,000 was realized the
flrst year It was opened from the sale
of buildings to be torn down or re
moved. The Incline railway, from Its
ten-cent charges per capita, has not
earned less than $10,000 a year, and In
recent years has netted $11,000 or more.
From 1888 to 1893 the park commission
ers turned Into the state treasury $54,
470, and the actual expense of the state,
in maintaining and improving the most
beautiful park on earth, have averaged
about $16,500 a year. The park commis
sioners, who were In session today,

their work. They make a great point

cliffs), with stop-off privileges at

There Is still heard the charge that
drivers of these wagonettes dlscrlm

by systematically steering visitors to
rival establishments. Something of this
exists, perhaps, but 1t ts usually the
dealer or huckman who Is left out In
the cold who makes the charge. So
far as the tourist public is concerned.
the carriage service at Niagara Falls
(that Is, within the reservation) was
never before so cheap or so well man
aged.
Swindlers Not Yet 'Pcnd.
It is ptlll extremely ensy for a visitor
to be swindled by Irresponsible drivers,
A fa,vorite trick la for one ot these fel
lows to hail the stranger as he steps
from the railway station Into the street
with the promise that he "will show
you the falls for a quarter." If the
visitor oeeits 'thei Invitation lie Is

he llndd out that he ha merely been
hauled away from rival hackmen In or
der that Mils particular Jehu may work
blm to consent to a two or three hours'
slow drive at a good substantial charge
per hour. If the stranger does not agree
to this, the driver will make him get
out, unless he can get an order to "take
me 1aek to the deinit," in which cave
he charges whatever he thinks he can
collect for the return trip. .These and
other tricks are still practiced here, but
a visitor of ordinary exerlence a nd cau
tion Is not likely to be entrapped. Prac
tlcaliy all the points of 'Interest In the
Immediate vicinity of the 'falls can be
visited In an afternoon, by reservation
van, for 25 cents or less. Outside of tho
ruservatlon at tho lower rapids, whirl

The sanctity of the people's park has
two or three tlnua been threatened by
the efforts of corporations. An effort
was made In the last legislature to get
right ot way for a trolley road through
part of the grounds, but It was unsuc
cessful, and the commissioners n.r,l fcu
perlntendent Thomas V. Weloh are firm
in their resolve I'hat no grant of the
kind shall be made. The park does not
need anything ot the kind, and It Is a
good policy whk;h avoids making a bad
precedent.

The Engineering and Mining Journal
Is dissatisfied wUih the present method
of collecting statistics concerning the
anthracite trade. It finds fault with the
weekly and monthly statements of the
Bureau of AnthracHe Statistics because
they are not detailed. "The difference
between stove coal and the steam
sixes," it remarks, 'is almost as great
as between anthracite and bituminous,
and yet this trade Is content to go on
without knowing the production of each
of the different sixes, stove, broken,
egg, chestnut, pea, buckwheat, rice,
etc., when euch a knowledge would ren
der practicable the solution of problems
the exlstance of which Is partly respon
sible for this present unsettled condi
tion of the markot. The sales agents
of the different companies meet monthly
and suggest what they think the di
mand. in the ktoss, is likely to be dur
ing the following monl.h. Stove and
chestnut being utrletly competitive for
the domestic market, It follows that the
consumptive demand for these sixes of
all others should be known, and the
production regulated thereby. Still,
statistics of production are lumped, and
we know only thnt so many tons of coal
were shipped during a certain period,
as If all nixes were commercially of the
same Importance. IJs 'this fact which
renders fruitless the present manner of
restricting. The trade ihas no figure to
show where end In what quantities an
thracite Is sold, or how much of domes
tic or how much of the steam sixes la
sold In each of the large cities, when
such figures would render feasible the
coreotlon of excesses. In many cases

The anthracite market Is not all com
petitive. Kach company has a certain
amount, of non-competitive 'Hue' trade.
If, therefore, the anthracite Interests
knew 'how much domestic coal was re
served by each for Its local trade, tho
competitive business to squable over
would be greatly reduced. There are
also places where only two or three
com pan ion compete; by having accurate
statistics by sizes an amicable under
standing among these few would be
comparatively aay. By the elimina
tion from the vexed problem of per

we would find d-iiat Instead of fighting
ovrr the apportionment of, say, '45 000..

ered but one-half that amount, and per
haps even less."

high Valley Railroad company Is today
In n belter jihysleal and financial condi
tion than at any time since before the
lease to th-9 Reading company. Not
withstanding the demoralization which
has so long existed In the anthracite
conl trade and the low freight rates on
and prices of coal, the company's earn
ings have steadily Increased, and a
small surplus has been earned so far
this year. Whether or not the manage
ment will return to Its stockholders be
foie the end of the yenr depends largely
upon future condi tions In the'eoal tradf..
There Is no doubt that a dividend would
be paid were a settlement of existing
troubles promptly reached, but It would
be unwise for the company to pay such
dividend while present low prices and
rates continue. The recent bond sale
has materially strengthened the com
pany's financial position, as It relieves
It of its flnaiting debt and provides am
ple means fur Improving and extend
ing the property.
