Kagles Mere and the region im mediately contiguous to it is by 110 means deriving from the summer business the returns that it shoufd. This is true of every material inter est represented in the community, whether it he our working mom and women, the farmers, the T.aud <'o., the Boat Co. or the Railroad Com pany. Perhaps the earliest fault is with | those who own the land, whether} the Land Company or private own ers. Some one is willing to pay live hundred dollars for a lot and build on it. In the effort to gei a little more than the would-be buyer is willing to pay the negotiation fails. What is the result? The lot remains unsold and in nine years it would l><> necessary to get twice the price in order to cover interest atul taxes, the loss in revenue to the Boat Co. will have been not less than fifty to sixty dollars, loss to the Borough about one hundred dollars and loss in current labor, exclusive of that employed in building the cottage, not less than one hundred dollars more. '''i<e summing up is that in the attempt to get a hundred dollars more than the proposed buyer was willing to pay there has been an actual loss of live or six times the difference, not counting the material advance that would have been gained in other property by reason of the advance in population. Nothing is more needed in Kagles Mere today than greater activity in dealing with possibilities.similar to this. It is the fashion to complain of the Land Company anil the Bout Company but the fact is that every interest in Kagles Mere is making the same mistake or it looks that way to the writer. In table supplies we are lament ably deficient so far as home produc tion is concerned and it would be a good thing if we might have a ser ies of Farmers Institutes to demon strate to us how to avail ourselves of our advantages so as to keep in our midst the largest possible percentage of the money so freely brought here by the summer visitors. With an ice supply unsurpassed as to quality, quantity and inexpenslveness it ought to be possible to preserve every product that could be furnish ed here and lay it on the tables in a condition that is impossible to any but home producers. Certainly five thousand chickens ought to be consumed here every summer and be cheaper than beef at Trust prices as well as far superior in J quality and acceptability and yet we j suppose our own people hardly fur nish a hundred. Perhaps we are out ! in our calculations as to this latter gums but of the prime question we feel sure. It ought to Ite possible to produce gilt edge butter here all the year round and with the facilities that nature gives us for cold storage it should be placed before our guests iu far better condition than that fur nished by foreign creameries. This market has never been sup-1 plied with veal but is tilled with i Chicago beef until one tires of it. I In garden produce we have prac- j tically nothing to sell. Cottages get I along fairly well with what is I brought in from farms five to twenty five miles away. Our home work ought to keep employed between seasons enough horses to furnish a team to guests whenever wanted but flip fact is that one is foitunate to find a team for a drive unless arranged some time in advance. Why not let us have a Fair right 1 here in Kagles Mere iu September while many of the summer people are still here and yet enough have left to make it possible to entertain any reasonable crowd of Fair visitor. Get Capt.Chase to arrange swimming races, Itoat races, and every other |H)ssible aquatic sport. Let us have base-ball and foot-ball matches,fioral domestic, garden, farm and live | stock and every other possible ex-: hibit. Make the road round the a driving course for speedy and j draft horses, give us bicycle coinpe- j tition, press the Chautauqua Audi-; torium into the service and fill it with everything within reach that j would illustrate possible improve-, mcnt (u anything appurtenant to our 1 place. Bring our school children j and young people into it and do not j leave out the old folks. Why nut? B, G.
