THE oldest inhabitant of Haw
ley never knew quite such
a Winter as Is now begin
ning to flirt with giddy and
breezy young Springtime. There
have been winters with less snow,
but there was more ice In the rivers.
There has never been a winter when
there was so little ice, and yet, the
storage places are all comfortably
filled with solid chunks of wator.
Up to the first of February the Mid
dle Creek was an lceless stream.
When ico began to form it was only
on the edge of thd stream, just liko
you have noticed a bowl of new pork
gravy whiten up around the edge of
the vessel as the pancake dressing
begins to grow cold. The two edges
of Ice did not join In the centre ex
cepting in certain parts of the stream
where the waters flowed very bIow
ly. The result is that tho ice is so
nearly gone that there Is scarcely
enough left In chunks along tho
banks of that stream to freeze the
cream for a good sized firemen's pic
nic In August.
o
"Sermons in Stones,
Books in Running Brooks."
Talking about the Middle Creek
reminds the writer of how an Inci
dent on its ''wild waves" enforced
a Scripture statement on his mind.
He didn't know much about Scrip
ture at the time of the incident, and,
as a certainty, is not an encyclopedia
on the subject at the present time.
The Incident was brought to his
mind one day when he went Into the
drug store of J. G. Bone, (now J. G.
Bone & Son), in Dunmore. Mr.
Bone had the habit of pinning up on
the end of his mystery screen, (the
screen that hides tho druggist from
sight while ho Is compounding pres
criptions), such articles from the
dally papers as appealed to his fancy
'mil he wanted to scrutinize again.
C ne day he had pinned among other
clippings the following statement
from the business man's portion of
Scripture, the book of Proverbs:
" There is 'a way that seemeth
right unto a man,, but tho end there
of are the ways of death."
Now, it is not the Intention of the
writer to preach a sermon or to
"point a moral." He desires to say
that the statement, with its peculiar
wording, set him to thinking. Ere
long a Middle Croek picture came
before his mental vision. He saw
himself in company with Frank C.
Brown, (now the 'Hoadloys merchant
and postmaster), when they were
boys and went swimming seven time
a day In "the good old Summer
time," and wore only patched pants,
shiits that bothered them to put on
after they got 'em off, and straw
hats full of holes. We used to play
"going down tho river." Wo took
slabs from the slab pile that tho up-and-down
saw slowly made, placed
a tier of them round side down in
the water, crossed them with edg
ings, on top of the edgings placed
more slabs flat side down, and were
ready for the trip. Now, the Middlo
Creek is full of rocks, and just about
the time we had begun to glldo
"O'er the glad waters of tho dark,
blue sea,
Our souls as boundless and our
hearts as free,"
upon one of these water covered
rocks our raft would float, and then
comes the point I am trying 'to make.
Just about as. quickly as you could
wink when tho raft struck the rock
it would stop dead still, and lo!
everything had suddenly changed.
It seemed as though we were rushing
UP STREAM at a tremendous rate.
Wo seemed to bo actually Hying up
the stream. We could have sworn
that our raft was going up stream;
but in time wo got used to the con
dition and understood understood
that If we did not get off the rock
our raft would go to pieces and there
would be disaster, and, if the water
was deep and swift enough, death.
That's all! Much might be written
on the subject, but tho writer pre
fers to let you, like himself, do your
own thinking. The lesson was forced
home upon us that there are many
things in lifo that "seem to bo right"
but are positively wrong. It makes
a fellow go a little slower, think a
little more carefully, but to pay
special and particular heed to Davy
Crockett's advice, "first he SURE
you are right; then go ahead!"
o
What Happened nt tho
Meeting of Council.
At tho regular meeting of the
council on Tuesday night little was
dono save regular routine business.
Tho most important act was tho
resignation of Richard Rolchardt as
a member of that body. The vacancy
was filled by the selection of Charles
Rose, the merchant, to fill out the
unexpired term.
Immediately upon the resignation
of Mr. Relchardt ho was appointed
Street Commissioner. Thore Is no
salary attached to this position, but
for every day he works he receives
$1.75.
o
School Board Grunts
Five Day Easter Vacation.
At the meeting of tho school board
on Monday night H was decided to
close the schools during tho Easter
period. The vacation'' begins on
Thursday, March 20 th. This allows
the teachers ample time to visit
their homes and enjoy the holiday
period In full. Outside of the vaca
tion decision there was nothing
transpired excepting routine business
and tho payment of hills.
Mrs. Wnlllnger Taken to
Scranton Stuto Hospital.
On Tuesday morning Mrs. Augus
tus Walllnger was taken to Scranton
where, at tho State hospital, she will
undergo a surgical operation for the
removal of a tumorous growth. Mrs.
Walllnger is the wife of the Main
street shoe maker.
Some Things About tho
Flro Department.
IThe flro fighters of Hawloy are
planning for an extra good time at
their annual ball that Is to be held
on Easter Monday night, March 24.
This Is the annual event, and Haw
ley people take pleasure In patroniz
ing it. Tho boys assure a good time
to all who go, and visitors from
Honesdale and neighboring towns
I will be well taken care of.
As to Hawley's flro department,
it is but just to say that it is com
prised of the leading citizens of the
town. Special Officer Ed. Richard
son kindly showed the writer
through the rooms and gave him a
glimpse at the apparatus on Wednes
day. On the walls hangs a large and
well made picture of the department
made a few years ago. Several of
those represented on the picture are
now on tho other side of the Great
Divide; but the picture is a fine one.
The apparatus Is comprised of two
hose carts and about 1500 feet of
hose. There is also a hook and lad
der wagon, fully equipped. The
water pressure in the town is about
Bixty pounds to the square inch
sufllcient to throw a stream over
any structure that has as yet been
built on "the flats."
o
Frank Riley Meets AVith
A Serious Accident.
On Monday' afternoon of this week
Frank Riley, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Riley, of Marble Hill, met with
an accident that came near causing
his instantaneous death. He is an
employee of the Hawley Coal Com
pany, and was attempting to couple
some cars that are used in carrying
the culm to the washery. One of the
cars left the track as he stooped
over to make the coupling, and this
threw the tops of the cars close to
gether, resulting in his head being
caught between them. He was un
conscious for several hours. For
tunately his head was low enough so
that it did not receive the full force
of the impact. Had It been two or
three inches higher he would have
been instantly killed. Drs. Rodman
and Voigt wore called to minister to
his needs. He is now considered out
of danger.
o
Whnt Mntter & Sons
Aro Going to Do.
It is said that Matter & Sons have
purchased from Schlager & Welsh
tho corner property known as tho
'Bishop property, on which rumor
has it that they will build on 'their
newly acquired possession a large
building to be used as a combined
livery stable and feed store.
o
McDonotigh Brothers Also
Aro to Do Some Building.
It is current on the streets that
the John Romlnger property has been
purchased by McDonough Brothers.
It Is also current that they will soon
build a largo and up-to-date stable.
If the reports aro correct, and wo
had no occasion to verify them, the
McDonoughs may be depended on to
do somothlng for the town that will
be worth while.
o
Ah! Thnt Typo Writer Concern
AVnnts to Como to Hawley.
At Tuesday night's meeting of
Council a letter was read from a
Scranton concern stating that a large
firm in New York, capitalized at a
million, wants to settle down in
some good placo like Hawley. What
has the town to offer? Why, It can
offer almost anything with tho ex
ception of cash. But, if they really
mean business, and think they can't
get along without a taste of Middlo
Creek water, why wo might be able
to there! Our pencil point just
broke!
Kntz Brothers About to
Open Brunch in Hawley.
Reliable parties told tho writer
that the well known manufacturing
firm of Katz Brothers, of Honesdale,
have bought two lots on Spring
street on which they will build a
branch of their Honesdale manu
factory of underwear. This news
will bo of special importance to the
girls and women of Hawley, as It
will give them work at a good remun
eration. The lots aro In a splendid
location, In a direct lino south from
the Lutheran church. Tho Katz
Brothers have tho reputation of be
ing long sighted, and this new move
is, Higiilllcant for Hawley.

PROBE OF STEAMSHIPS
, ACCIDENTS OPPOSED
STATE PILOTS AND FOREIGN
LINES COMBINE AGAINST BILL
PROVIDING PUBLICITY.
Object to Being Held Responsible to
Constituted Authority and Say
Pressuro Will Defeat Measure.
Sudden nnrf nnnxnfir.tfwl nnnnaltlnn
which developed in Harrlsburg last
weejc io a ma providing lor stricter
supervision over vessels and their
pilots on the Delaware river and
bay, to minimize accidents and as
sure a greater degree of safety to all
craft on that water highway from
the sea to Pennsylvania's port, has
raised an all-fmportant Issue which
the members of the legislature will
bo compelled to decide.
'By their vote upon the measuro
when it comes before them, Repre
sentatives and State Senators will
either uphold Pennsylvania's sover
eign right of authority over territory
within Its iurlsdlctlnn. nr tliAv will
surrender that right to foreign Inter
ests inai are now exerting every In
fluence to prevent legislation which
wouia mane tnem accountable to a
constituted authority of this state.
If .thev vote for thn hill, iti nv will
sustain the dignity and proclaim the
authority which is Pennsylvania's in
alienable right. If they vote against
it, mey win establish tho principle
that tho law and the nrnterM nn nr
property and life is subservient to
private Interests and corporate man
ipulations.
Tho Dronoserl IpcrlslnH
provides that the State, through it's
Commissioners of "Navigation, shall
have tho authority to supervise, and
to Investigate the acts of, the pilots
Whom the Statn HprmKoa tli
said Commissioners of Navigation.
Existing laws, contemplating such
authority, fail utterly in effecting II,
through a "joker" which requires
that a complaint be made to the
Commissioners by an aggrieved or
injured party before any accident
occurring to a vessel In charge of
such licensed pilot can' be Investi
gated by the Commissioners.
Such a condition is characterized
as a menace to navigation upon the
Delaware river and. bay, a blot upon
the credit of Pennsylvania's port,
and a deterrent upon the develop
ment of Its freight as well as pas
senger service. It was to remedy
this that the now bill was drawn.
The real necessity for such a law
was shown last December, when, on
Christmas Eve, the outgoing steam
er "Merion" collided with the in
coming freighter "Oceano." Both
vessels were in charge of licensed
pilots. Tho night was clear, and ap
parently there was no excuse for
such an accident. Tho "Merion" had
several hundred passengers aboard,
and had the damage she sustained
been of a more serious nature, many
or all of them might have perished.
The peculiar conditions called for
an investigation, and there was a
widespread public demand that the
real facts be revealed. The Commis
sioners desired to make an investi
tutlon, but -were Informed by tho At
torney General of the State that un
der the existing ineffective .law they
were powerless to act without a
formal complaint. No complaint
came, and the accident went down
among scores of other such myster
ies of the Delaware river and bay.
Tho foreign steamship lines, appar
ently from the same motives which
prompted the White Star Lino to dis
courage nn investigation of the "Ti
tanic" disaster, invited no scrutiny
of the carelessness or inefficiency
which caused the "Merion" and
"Oceano" to collide.
In the Interest of the public they
wore appointed to serve, and In ful
fillment of their duty, Director Geo.
W. Norrls and his fellow Commis
sioners havo determined to fight the
bill through the House and Senate,
and find tmt just which legislators
are susceptible t,o the mysterious in
fluences operating against this bill
for the protection of life and prop
erty and the enforcement of law.
