Largo Attendance Should be Repeat ed Next Saturday When Forest City Visits Os Good Base Ball in Store for llonesdale. That girls can play ball was dem onstrated Saturday atternoon on the local grounds, when the Western Bloomer "Girls" who are on a tour of the country, gave Honesdale a good exhibition game o ball, and had the breaks in the game come their way they would have won. Gage, manager and catcher for the girls, scored the first run, when he came home on a high fly to center field. The girls scored again in the forth inning on Connolly's three bagger and Brader's error. Ruth, the pitcher for the girls, was good and held Honesdale's best batters down for three Innings. She began to tire In the fifth and Connolly took her position in the box. The ball park was crowded with spectators .and the grand stand and bleachers were filled to capacity. Despite the large crowd the receipts were small but If only the home team could secure the financial back ing at every game in a crowd as large as the one which witnessed the game Saturday, base Dan in Honesdale would be a grand success! Honesdale scored in the third by two two-baggers and a base by being hit with the ball. In the fourth Siangan walked, Lilly sacrificed and scored on a wild pitch and Larson's out at first. In the sixth the bases -were full but Loll, who batted for Youngblood, could not bring nny of them home. The features of the game were Connolly's batting, Kittie's fielding and Gage's work behind the bat. Ho was, in fact, the life of the wholo team. Gage is an all-round ban player. Tarket and Faatz did good work in the field and "Buck" was the boy to coach on the first base line. Youngblood was not in the best of form, not having been in a game for two years and in the sixth Xioll took his place in the box for the locals. The results: HONESDALE. R. H. O. A. E.

DON'T SAY YOU DIDN'T The citizens of Honesdale will upon Friday, July n, be tween the hours of y a. in. and 7 p. 111., cast tkeir ballot for or against the proposed increased indebtedness of the borough, to the amount of $14,000, the issue being the paving of Main street with brick. Before a municipality can increase its indebtedness lor borough improvements it must get the voice of the people. Providing the majority of the ballot is cast for the specified im provement, the town officials are then empowered to go ahead and make the necessary improvement; hence the borugh elec tion on Friday, July 11, to vote on increased indebtedness of Honesdale for pave. The pave issue is paramount and one wlych should be given careful consideration and thought. From what can be ascertain ed it is evident that the attittule of taxpayers is in favor of pav ing Main, Park and North Main streets. To begin with Hones dale is not going to lose anything by taking advantage of the proposition offered by the State Highway Department of Har risburg. There is at present available for use on Honesdale's Main street, $17,500. If the borough votes for pave, which it ought to, this amount together with what is received from the Wayne Street Railway company and abutting property owners will make the town's proportion only $14,000. In order that the State Highway Department may start on the construction of the proposed road, (if the taxpayers deem it best to increase the present indebtedness $14,000) it is necessary to vote for the entire bond issue, $69,000. This, by no means, signifies that the indebtedness of Honesdale will be $69,000, it is the same as a working capital for the State and is a guarantee that the town means business. When the Highway department starts the contract it will need from $5,000 to $10,000 per month or per haps more to pay for labor and material. The other amounts making up this $69,000 bond issue will be divided between three other parties beside the town, and after the road has been completed the money will be collected, proportionately. The voting on the $69,000 is only to enable the State to begin work it will not be the indebtedness of the town rather $14, 000 is all that will go into municipal bonds. It is imperative that this be made as clearly as possible, because many people believe that the $69,000 will be the indebtedness of the town. It is not so. Especial stress should be borne upon this statement. Believing that we have made this clear to our readers we will now advance another step. Considerable has been said con cerning the proposed cost of the paving. Engineers have fur nished figures which are based on actual cost and are authentic. Figuring per lineal foot in front of an abutting property on Main' street it will cost the owner $3.00 per foot. Should he have a 50 foot frontage it will cost only $150.00. This is based on Main street to Fourth street for a 40-foot street. From the State bridge north to the borough line on Main street, a street 23 feet wide, is contemplated. It will cost the abutting property owner 85 cents per lineal foot frontage. On Park street a 16-fobt street was figured upon. It will cost $1.75 per lineal foot. The $17,500 now in the Highway department for Honesdale will be declared null and void unless, taken advantage of before March 1, IQ14. il H ' There are- numerous fea'tuTfes'-worthyofcdrisitieVationfcon'-i neciuu wun ine paving 01 luain ana raric streets at the present time. One is the saving to the town from $3,000 to $4,000 for preliminary work, such as surveying, making maps and drafts of the road, giving elevation for building, etc. In addition to this the Highway department will furnish an inspector to over see the road during course of construction. The State High way department will build the road, buy the material, furnish the labor and have entire charge. It is therefore necessary to vote tor the $09,000 bond issue this article. A word to the economic taxpayer. He always wants to save the town money and make suggestions how this and that can be done more economically. We ask him to look backward for a few years and recall what has been paid out for crushed stone for Main street. Good taxpayers' money at that. Within the last year it cost the borough mis is oniy one year, wiiat must it nave been for twenty years? It probably did not average this amount every year, but it is safe to say that perhaps $18,000 would not cover it. Is this economy? It is plain on the very face of the proposition mat tins is expensive road building. To save money for the town would be to pave. The entire indebtedness as furnished by the engineers, being the town's share, amounts to onlv $14.- 000. How long would it take indebtedness at the rate of from $1,000 to $2,500 per year paid out for crushed stone? Mr. Economic Voter please turn these figures over in your mind and see where the economy really is. A paved street means a good street for at least 20 years without repairs. The proposition of first paving Main street will eventually lead to other streets in Honesdale becoming paved. In order that these streets may enjoy the improvement which will be en joyed on Main street, it will srteet. The statement that property owners residing on other streets than Main will not be benefitted by the paving of Main street is unworthy of belief. What will benefit the. property owners on Main street will directly or indirectly benefit every citizen and resident of the town. Are we not all working for a Greater Honesdale? Before the back streets can receive im provements similar to the proposed paving of Main street, it will be necessary to first pave Main street. Until Main street is paved, the paving of other streets cannot be hoped for at any other time. Now is the proper and only time to pave, while Honesdale has such opportunities presented at its door. Probably not in several years will the same conditions be met with. It may not beas easy to pave as now. It is therefore up to the voters of Honesdale to assemble at the polls on FRIDAY, JULY 11, between 7 a. m. and 7 p. m. to cast their ballots for the proposed $14,000 borough indebtedness. The consensus of opinion is that Honesdale needs paved streets. It will come sometime and that time Fs now. Procras tination is the thief of time. Crushed stpne will also be the thief of Honesdale's treasury if the town is allowed to go on in old mediaeval times, using the dirt road for a thoroughfare. If Honesdale is to continue being a progressive town it must live up to its conviction and belief and pave its Main street. There is only one way to do it and that is come out to the polls July 1 1, in full force, display your progressive and economic spirit and VOTE FOR BRICK PAVE KNOW ABOUT PAVE on July 11 as stated elsewhere in -ii,isiiL in the neighborhood of $2,500 to pay off this proposed bonded first be necessarv to nave Main JUDGE SEARLE ATTENDS MEETING OF BAR ASSOCIATION President Judge A. T. Searle of Honesdalo attended a meeting of the Pennsylvania Bar Association which was in session at Cape May, N. J., on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs day of last week. It was a most In teresting and Instructive meeting. At the session on Thursday afternoon ofllcers were electe'd. Judge Searle was chosen as a member of the exe cutive committee. The other officers chosen were: President, Hapton L. Carson, Philadelphia; vice-presidents, Judge William D. Porter, Pittsburg; James T. Morehead, Greensburg; Charles I. Landls, Lan caster; Isaac Helster, Berks county; William E. Rice, Warren; secretary, Judge William H. Staake, Philadel phia; treasurer, Samuel E. Bashore, Machanlcsburg. There were twenty one members chosen on the execu tive committee. WIIAT HAS CARBONDALE GOT? When Manager N. B. Spencer was In Carbondale a few days since to make arrangements for the Carbon dalo team to come to Lodoro on July 23 and play against Honesdale at the Business Men's picnic, Manager Tom Nolan of the team which thinks it can play base ball, told Manager Spencer that a largo crowd of fans would accompany their home team and root for Carbondale. This is proper. But what about the trim ming part of the game? As far as 8mt is concerned 'Manager Spencer says he cannot see what Manager Nolan is figuring upon. While it is conceded that Carbondale has one of the best teams in the anthracite valley under the management of Tom Nolan that Carbondale could boast of for the past 8 or 10 years, it is not the opinion of the fans over this side of the Moosic that they are strong enough to trim Honesdale. 50,000 VETREANS EXPECTED AT GETTYSBURG GAMP LATE DISPATCHES INDICATE IN CREASE OF 10,000 ABOVE FIRST ESTIMATE. Worli of Getting Big Field in Shape Has Been Rushed All Ready to Receive Host of Veterans on July J. It Is now estimated that the num ber of veterans who will be at Gettysburg during the fiftieth anni versary celebration of the great bat tle will number 50,000 Instead of the 40,000 at first estimated. Belat ed reports from various states run the total up to that figure, but those in charge believe they will be able to care for all, with the additional $35,000 promised' by the Legisla ture. By arrangements completed In the big veterans' camp It WllPbe possi ble lQ theli-soldlersof. ,the North and South tolocateT each" other "at Gettysburg this week with the ease of consuiting a city directory, and the man who wishes to find a partic ular foe of 'fifty years ago, or a tent mate whom he has not seen for a score or more years, will have no difficulty In accomplishing his aim If the person is anywhere in the big camp. Under the direction of the offl--cers In charge, fourteen Information bureaus, with Just such a purpose in view, will be established at various parts of the camp. The location of every command will be known and a small army of Boy Scouts will con duct the veterans to the very tent where their quest May be satisfied. Visitors will be given the satne con sideration and will have little trouble in finding their friends. The camp will be the big attrac tion of the week, and visitors are expected to throng the place from morning to night. All will be wel come and visiting will be allowed un der certain restrictions, such as the prohibition of taking vehicles Into the camp site. No transportation will be allowed thero at all except the wagons, ambulances and other equipment of the camp. The maximum of safety with the minimum of dust Is expected to re sult. There in the camp the old veteran, surrounded by his wartime friends and foes, will be able to converse not only with them but with the people from his home, who are sure to be there in as great a vol ume as the railroads are able to transport them. To further insure the comfort of the veterans In the camp the tele phono system now under construc tion by the United States SIgnol Corps Is to be connected with one of the big systems, so that from the camp any old soldier mav telenbone to his own residence, hundreds of miles away. Already sixty miles of wire nave neen strung in the camp Itself, and dally communication with' their homes will be easy for the vet erans coming to the camp. LESTERSIIIRE TO CELEBRATE FOURTH.

Lenves Parents nnd Eight Brothers nnd Sisters Wns n Exemplary and Ambitions Young Mnn Has Hosts of Friends. Herbert Canfleld, of 337 Ridge street, while learning to swim in Ca jaw pond Sunday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, was seized with cramps and sank from 6lght before his compan ions could save him. Perry Tallman, after several at tempts, brought to the surface the body of the young man. Herbert and his friend, Russell Martin, were bathing In the lake and were on the west shore when the drowning accident occurred. It appears that the unfortunate young man could not swim and Russell Martin said he would teach him. The boys had not been in the water long before cries for help came from the west shore. On the east side of the lako a number of other boys were in swimming. Thinking the boys were calling to each other in their merry sport, no attention was paid to what proved to bo calls for help. Not until after the Canfleld boy had gono down for the third time did-the boys on the east shore realize that there was anything seri ous. No time was lost in reaching the western shore. Arriving at the place where Herbert lost his life, the boys began to dive to recover their companion. One after another dived in search of Herbert, but not until his body had been under water an hour and five minutes was it re covered. Effort was made at once to resus citate the young man by Dr. Frank Donnelly, of Philadelphia, and oth ers present, but all to no avail. A telephone was soon reached and word was then sent to Dr. P. B. Petersen, but owing to his absence . from Honesdale, Dr. L. B. Nielsen was afterwards summoned. He worked over the young man for 30 minutes, but life was extinct some time before. Every possible means, however, was taken to produce artifi cial respiration. Coroner Petersen was apprised of the accident upon his arrival Sunday evening, but deemed it unnecessary to hold an inquest. Herbert was an exemplary young man and has a large circle of friends who are grieved to learn of his sad and sudden death. He was a mem ber of the Methodist Sunday school and a faithful attendant of same. Herbert was an ambitious young man. At the close of school he sought a. ppsltjon and for one week was employed in the silk mill, where Jie worked in the 'weaving depart ment. ' ' '' The deceased Is a s6h of Mr. and .Mrs. Charles- Canfleld ahd vas. one of a family of nine children. Be sides his parents the following brothers and sisters survive: Mer ton, Flora, Walter, Dora, Emmett, Harry, Ruth and Viola. He was born in Honesdale May 13, 1900. The funeral will be held from the home of his parents at 337 Ridge street, Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. Will H. Hlller, pastor of the Central Methodist Episcopal church, will officiate.

A runaway accident in which sev eral teams and vehicles were con cerned, caused considerable commo tion In front of the Hotel Wayne about eleven o'clock Monday morn ing. The result was that several of the vehicles were badly In need of repairs and one horse sustained se vere injuries. No one was injured. Mr. Novack, who lives near Prompton and his small son came to town to do some trading. He left the team of four-year-olds standing at me euro near Dr. Peterson s resi dence, In charge of the small boy while the father went into a store. While he was gono the boy evident ly struck the excitable horses with the lines and they started off on a mad run up Main street. At the corner of Main and Park streets the runaway team ran into a single rig being driven by James McGIvern. Mr. McGIvern jumped for safety as the two vehicles collided but his buggy was considerably damaged and his horses started on a run but were stopped before they had gone any distance. The harness was also badly broken. The team that had caused the trouble did not stop, but continued on Its mad gallop directly toward the front entrance to the barroom of the Wayne Hotel. The horses stumbled over the curb and fell, slid ing along the stone walk and strik ing against the building. They re gained their footing and started up again but were stopped suddenly by colliding with a stone post In front of the barber shop of Theodore Dryer. The wagon struck with such force that the upper part was com pletely demolished. The little boy In tho wagon was thrown out but luck ily escaped Injury. The horses were not caught until they again collided with Ralph Jeltz's delivery wagon near Clark '& Bullock's store, where they were caught. The delivery- wagon received a bent axle. One of the horses belonging to Novack was badly bruised and cut and was taken to the hotel barn for atten tion. The harness was- also badly broken. There was a team hitched to the stone post In 'front of the barber shop when tho runaway team Crashed into it but It escaped In jury. Hon. Joel G. Hill, of Lookout, left Monday morning for Gettysburg. 1
