Wilkce-Barro is the first city or town In Pennsylvania to take advan tags ot tho Shade Tree Commission law passed by the last session ot tbe Liegia lature and approved by Governor Stuart May 31, 1907, the Mayor having signed tbe concurrent resolution passed by councils accepting the provisions ot the act. In boroughs the appointment ot threo commissioners to serve without compensation, having exclusivo and absolute custody and control ot shade trees within tbe municipal limits, with power to plant, set out, remove, main tain and care for same, is vested in tbo Chief Burgess. The terms of the first appointoes ore for throe, tour and flvo years respectively, and on tho expira tion ot any term tbe new appointment will bo tor Ave years. The commission on decidiog upon setting out, removing or materially changing shade trees in any highway aro required to givo pub lic notico of a meeting at which the contemplated work is to be considered, by publication in not to exceod two newspapers published in tbo borough tor two weeks boforo it Is held. Tho cost of all work done is charged to tbe owoer ot tbe premises in front of which tho improvement is made, and becomes a lien on tho real estate. Subsequently to moot tbo expense ot caring for tho trees, and the cost of tho odvertisine mentioned, a general tax may bo levied not to exceod one-tenth ot one milt on tbe dollar ot tho osseofcod valuation of the borough. It the- provisions ot tho act are accepted by Honesdalo, tbe Commission will have power to employ and pay such superintendents, engin eers, foresters, tree wardens, and other assistants as the proper performance of their duties may require, and to make and publish regulations providing pen alties for violations ot tbe act, subject to the approval of tho town council; all flnos and penalties imposed becoming liens upon tbe real estate, and collect!- bio as taxes upon real property aro now collcclod. Honesdalo is already so thoroughly shaded .that it is hardly probable-that our town fathers will see any necessity for availing themselves of tbe privileges of the new act. Tbe very fact, indeed, that tbo law bad boon , tbo statute books for considerably incro than a year boforo any muncipal- ty accepted its provisions, goes to show that it was not a crying necessity in any part of tbe State. Tbo threatened litigation among claimants to certain rights in and about lk Lako, and Tbe Lako Lodore Co., TCiot purcbaeera of tbo interests ot tbo Drtl. and Hud. Co. in tbo property, re- lis the litigation growiog out ot a similar contention between Asa Dim- ock and tbo canal company torty-foui y jars ago. Tbe caaa was tried before Invito Gcorgo R. Barrott, and was an ion of ejectment by tbo former foi l'.'S ucres of land in Clinton township. I'hc plaintiff's claim was based on a wh- rant from the land office ot Pennsy 1- v.ti ia, dated September 12, 1851, and a oi. tion and survey of tho tamo, the 30th ot iho month, covering and including Kik lako, and a patent for the tract (rem tho Commonwealth to L. W. Dmiock, father of Asa Dimock, May 8, 1856. The defence was based on a war- i.nt to John Taggart, issued Fob 11th, 791, and returned Juno 27th, 1806, as bui veyed on a tract ot land in Clinton t'jvnebip, "surrounding Elk Pond," with tho pond laid down as vacant ; up on which survey a patent was issued to Samuel Salter June 17, 1807, describing the land by tho extorior lines as contain ing 258 acres, 63 perches. The title of this P';t. ntco finally became vested in tbe D & U. Canal Co., wbo entered into posses sion ut tbe John Taggart tract, and tbe uso of Elk Lako (then called "pond") v.tuch covered part, nearly bait, of the Dimock tract, tor fifteen years, as a footer to their canal. Tbo survey ot Jul nTnggart was a peculiar one. When tho warrant was laid tbo outside lines weio closed and would havo embraced nbout COO acres, but in 1807 inside lines weio marked upon the draft, running par .llol to tho outer ones, tbo calcula tion made only to the land lying be tw(,:n them, and so roturned to tho land offlco as surveyed upon tbe John Tai art warrant. This left an oblong pio:o ot laud in the confer, including Elk lako, not only unappropriated, but mai ked on tbe return "Elk Pond, va cant," and it was upon this alleged va cancy that tbe Dimock warrant was laid, Upon this showing Judge Barrott ruled in favor of the plaintiff, holding among other points that tbo John Tag gart tract was so located as to leave var int land in tbe center of it in an ob long shapo; that tbe owner ot that war rant was bound by the official return; thi:', tho company bad no right to oc cupy tbo pond as a feeder to tboir cai.al by virtuo ot their corporate privileges, nor greater right than an in dividual would havo wbo had acquired the title to tbo John Taggart tract ot land; that not only tho Elk pond, but all ot the land excluded from tho John Taggart survoy, was vacant when tho warrant under which tho plaintiff claim. od was survoyed ; and that bo was there fore entitled to a verdict for so much as wai vacant. Tho case was taken to tbe Supremo Court by S. K. Dimmick and F. M, Crane, attorneys for tho D, and (I. 0. Co., Charles P. and George G Wuller appearing for Mr. Dimock. Chief Justice Goorge W. Woodward delivered tho opinion ot tho court, May .1, 1861 It comprised a much more olaooralo statement ot tho cbbo, and de ductions to bo drawn from tbe testi mony, together with tho stopsby which tho title passed from Samuel Salter, tbo owner ot the Taggart warrant, to tho 1). and H. C. Co., through Norton and James Arcbbald, but in the end fully sustainod tho rulings of Judge Barrett and tbo verdict and judgment bolow. Current rumors are to tho effect that tho trolley line between Honesdalo and Hawloy will bo completed In tbo noar future. It is further said that a Now Yorker has agrood to finance tbo enterprise by tho bonding ot the lino for tho amount required. Inquiry of pat tios beet informed elicits .only tbo state ment that nothing is yet finally deter mined on.

Herbert Smith, ot Wilkos-Barro, with it party comprising his wifo end yoar-and a half old son, and Misj Elvira Day, a young lady whoso parents rcsido in Cadosia, N.

On reaching what is known as tho Big Eddy on the Dy berry Creek, where a sharp turn occurs in tbo road, witli a high and precipitous bank on tho river sido, tbo rear wheels of the auto skid dod to the right, and in a moment tho machine was upsido down over tho odgo ot the declivity, being prevented from absolutely crushing out tho lives ot those beneath it only by the bushes and stones into which it plunged and which so entangled it as to prevent its farther fall. That all wcro not killed outright seems really providential, and looking at the mishap in this light, tbo roal injuries inflicted may well bo re garded as trivial. Miss Day was tbo most Beriouely hurt, two bones of her right wrist being fractured. Tbo others, with tho exception ot a few bruises on tbe baby, oecaped practically unharm ed. Even tho machine itself camo through with but littlo damage, and af ter receiving tho attentions ot machin ist Charles Gibbs, was driven to town, and bos einco been cavorting about our streets. Fortunately for the party, Dr. McConvill, who had been paying a pro fessional visit farther up tbo Dyborry, chanced to bo near tbo sccno of tho mishap whon it occurred, and taking Miss Day in his carriage, brought her to Honesdalo, and gavo nocessary at tention to her broken wrist.
