In good old days of Long-ago, 1 and when the folks down that way
Long, long ero Hawley nau a name, gei reaay 10 secure uiai pine imrit 1
And searched dark forests rich
with game.
Those copper-colored sons wero rich
With stomachs filled with fish and
slch.
But now another copper story
Comes to the front and shakes Its
bonnet,
And fills Bone Ridgers full of glory,
And tempts your scribe to write a
sonnet.
We'll toucn the yarn with cautious
care,
And watch for skeptics everywhere.
OW don't get excited, gentle
reader of Hawley, and
boost the price of your va
cant lots so that It will
make the stranger who may
want to buy a little real estate In the
town drop down dead with astonish
ment, when I tell you that copper has
been found right close to town. No,
tlie writer didn't find it. The only
copper ho has recently handled was
a big, round, old-fashioned copper
cent in perfect condition, the gift of
Honesdale's dean in the newspaper
profession, Edward A. Penniman.
It bears the date of 1853, and was
given as a birthday souvenir, and it
will be retained as a sort of Mascot.
What good is one big, red, copper
cent when you get reckless, anyway?
But about that copper discovery:
This is about the 'nth time copper
.mines have been located in Wayne
county. It is to be hoped that this
time the vein Is fully a mile wide, all
copper and thicker than a buckwheat
pancake that has been mixed with
too much buttermilk.
The discoverer of the new copper
mine is John Shannon, well known
In Honesdale. He had been pros
pecting in the vicinity of the dis
covery for several weeks, and now
claims that he is sure that indica
tions point to a valuable mine. He
took P. J. Keary, of Bono Ridge, to
see the mine, and Mr. Keary knows
its location and what the stuff looks
like., At the Eddy hotel where Mr.
Shannon boards one of the employees
'said that Mr. Shannon had brought
down two big hunks of the find for
inspection, and he said it was sure
enough copper.
The' copper mine is located in an
old stone quarry between Hawley
and Wllsonville, not far from Bono
Ridge. It is about two miles from
the silver mine on the Tetchlof farm
that attracted so much attention
about fifteen years ago. Facilities
for harvesting the silver were per
fected at considerable expense, but
when the "pocket" was emptied, that
ended the silver dream of great
wealth. It is to be hoped that the
copper-colored dream will not have
so undesirable an ending.
Mr. Shannon, we are informed.
has sent to New York city after an
apparatus for smelting 'ore, or else
he has sent some of the ore to be
tested, we can't say which, and soon
we shall know all about It. In the
meantime, as mentioned in the start
of this article, don't get excited, and
don't begin to dream of boosting the
price of Hawley real estate any high
er than it is in these days of high
living and living high.
As to That Pino Forest
On Hnwloy's Southern Crest.
Hawley people have been doing
lots of talking this week about the
article iu this department last Friday
regarding tho pine forest on the
southern boundary of the town. Peo
pie are looking at those pine trees
to-day who never gave them any con-
sideration whatever before. Those
trees were there, and, so far as they
gave the matter any thought, had al
ways been thero; and, by the same
lino or reasoning, would always re-
main there. That pine park is the
first thing the stranger entering the
town for the first time notices. They
appeal to his sense of beauty. They
are cooling and restful to tho eye,
suggestive of comfort, and are in
every way most desirable and attrac
tive. If by some magic they wore re
moved to-night, when to-morrow's
sun shono on the uninviting rocks
and stones in all their barren hlde
ousness, every man, woman and
child of Hawley would voice in em
phatic torms the calamity that had
come to the town.
As a matter of fact, I am Informed
that two citizens of Hawley own
those trees and the laud on which
they stand. I have been told by one
of the owners that he had been ask
ed to set a price on the pine lumber,
which he had refused to do, because
he could not entertain the thought
of robbing the town of such a source
of beauty and health.
There! That is tho idea Robbing
tho Town! But, what right has
the town to assume in any sense any
proprietary rights to those trees?
None, whatever! Furthermore, It
Is not fair to ask two Individuals to
refrain from converting their . own
personal property into cash, if thev
desire so to do, simply because all the
rest of the town want the trees to
stand.
The writer suggested to one of tho
owners of the pine forest that the
borough pay them the value of the
lumber, and that they in turn deed
to the borough tho real estate on
which the trees stand,- the borough
pledging itseir to preserve and pro
tect the fores't. He said ho would be
glad to entor into such an arrange-
ment. In that way tho park of trees
might bo secured for all time to
come; and Mawley could not do a
wiser act. It would be an easy mat-
tor to raise the money by popular
auDscnption. way, mo school chll
uren couia raise me amount in a
short time themselves. Now.
don't live in Hawley, but I always
mat it :s a sort 01 second home
want to own at least a little branch
of ono of those beautiful pine trees.
Pass the hat around this way,
please.
Hawley Preparing for
Memorial Day Observance.
That Hawley is a patriotic town
is made evident by the faithfulness
with which Memorial Day is observed
overy year. This year will be no ex
ception. Thero will bo a parade, and
the Daughters of America will serve
dinner. The proceeds will go to tho
local G. A. R. Thero will be more
along this line in this department
later on.

Dr. Tether Has a Now
And Speedy Hupinobilc.
Dr. A. Tether, the dentist, became
the possessor of a new Hupmobilo
on Saturday last. Say! Look here!
Tho writer used to hear tell of all
sorts of ways of getting rid of ob
jectlonable toeth, from knocking
them out with a hammer and an old-
fashioned ten-penny cut-nail, to
hitching a string around the molar,
tying tho loose end of the string to a
door knob, getting the victim s at
tention in an effort to "see the little
birdie," then shutting tho door with
a bang as the tooth leaped skyward
like a base ball, and the boy was sup
posed to say, "Huh! Never hurt me
a bit!" We're now wondering if
dentists can't mako a combination of
auto, string, boy, tooth and a sudden
turning on of power so that it will
work to advantage all around. If
we only personally knew some good
natured dentist wo would be tompted
to take up the matter with him right
away in the interest of boys, you
undersand.
Potatoes are selling in the Hawley

of first hand knowledge of the great

The Secretary believes such a
cruise will add greatly to tho sailors'
usefulness. It will be so timed as to
glvo every man in the fleet shore
leave at every port of Intorest.
Instead of the usual annual winter
maneuvers at Guantanamo, Cuba', the
whole fleet, including the torpedo
boat destroyers and auxiliaries, will
mako the foreign cruise. There will
be at least 21 battleships, probably
Including the new dreadnoughts
Texas and New York, with an aggre
gate tonnage of about 375,000 tons.
The fleet will leave about the first
of January and cross the Atlantic,
probably stopping at tho Azores or
Madeira, to Gibraltar. There the
ships will bo divided into squadrons
and sent to visit the principal ports
of the Mediterranean.

Mrs. Helen M. Cooke is giving the
Camp Fire Girls of Hawley plenty to
do. Last Sunday members of both
camps walked to Wangum falls and
return. Two boys started ahead and
blazed trees, bent twigs and arrang
ed stones. The girls had to track
the boys and get to the falls by ac
tually following tho trail. The day
was windy and their guardian kept
tho girls moving, so that they might
not take cold.
On Monday night Blanche Plum
and Gladys BIgart were initiated in
wangum camp. The ceremony took
place at W. A. Quinney's residence.
The lunch was served by Lavlnla

The Detrolter flashed to success
almost In a day one year ago.
The public has never before seen a
car embodying all the .fundamentals
of highest priced motor car practice
at this price of $850. Here Is an at
tractive, straight line, automobile
with the long stroke motor, multiple
disc clutch, full floating rear axle,
platform rear springs, left-hand
drive, and center control six best
features that ninety-nine out of a
hundred experienced motorists would
check off as those most to bo desired
In any car at any price. But these
six features are not all. Every part
of the mechanism follows those Ideas
which experience has shown to be
tho safest, the least wasteful of pow
er, and the most conducive to the
comfort of the passengers such
ideas as a unit power plant with en
closed fly wheel mounted on a three
point support, a selective three
speed transmission, and ball bearings
throughout the car. Eyery defect
of the low-priced field is corrected
in this high product of engineering
skill.
