LATTOS, July 28. Jacob Roe, the mer
chant at Walpack Centre has been ap
pointed Postmaster at that place to 1111 the
place of Geo. V. Schooley who has removed
to Unlonville, N. Y.
The Board of Education when they hired
teachers, decided that in the Interest of
good order, and the preservation of school
property, the teachers should remain at
the school house or in the immediate vicin
ity during the noon hour. The presence
of the teacher will no doubt In most In
stances have a good effect in the direction
desired.
Fine growing weather all the time. Do
the woods got ahead of youP
The number of schools in Sandyston is
eight, with an average salary of $At
Montague has four schools with an average
salary of 14 1-tS. Walpack has three
schools paying an average of K. Monta
gue thus proves to be the most generous to
their teachers of any Township of the Del
aware tier.
Bass fishing was getting good in the
Delaware before the recent heavy rains.
Mo doubt as soon as the tiver gets a little
low again we will hear some Immense fish
stories. The big ones have bad a good
chance to get up where our "Isaak Wal
tons" will be able to hook them, of course
those big ones are sure to get away, but It
is only the ones that gut away that are so
awful big."

good authority to be worth a thousand dol

his heels now, I suppose.
A worthy young couple planned to pic
nic in company a few days ago. , Tbuy an
ticipated a (lay of much enjoyment in
Peiins Land, viewing the falls and wan
dering through the lovely glens and ro
mantic places in which that land abounds.
Before sturting some wag found their store
of refreshments and eatublos,and carefully
substituted eurs of corn for the bananas,
cucumbers for the oranges, and uncooked
eggs for the boiled cues. Joe has blood in
rt
his eye now, and someone had better lay
low until the matter cools a little.
Does It occur to the practical Farmer
what a days wages In harvest represents
this year? How much they must produce
to pay ItP I will mention a few things
that are In round figures about equlvelant
to a days wages In harvest. 7l lbs. butter
or 12M lbs. of ham, 8 bushels of rye, 6
bushels oats, orS bushels of .wheat, 8 bush
els potatoes or 75 lbs. wheat flour. Two
weeks work In harvest will bny an acre of
fair land without buildings, and one
months work will buy an acre of good land
with buildings. The farmer seems to be
a little like David B. Hill just now, sort
o' "between the devil and the deep sea" as
It were. )
We extend hearty congratulations to
Mr. and Mrs. Simeon Cole. No home com
plete without a baby In It. It Is a girl.
It Is a subject of remark that many of
our school rooms oontaln poor stoves.
To have a steady even fire In a room oc
cupied by so many children Is quite neces
sary. As fast as new stoves are needed
would it not be wise on the above grounds
as well as on the score of economy, to buy
good self feeding, base burners, of modern
design.
At the sale of the Hotel and Farm at
Tuttle's Corner on July 80, the property
was bid in by the mortgagees for 11(160.0(1.
As the mortgage also covers the property
known as the Clark House in Layton,now
occupied by A. B. Van Sickle, that will
also be sold to make good the deficiency.

In Relation to Public Roads.
Forest Lake, July 87, 189B.
Editor Press: Your excellent editorial
on roads and public highways In the July
3rd Issue of the paper.oalls attention to facts
that should Interest everyone who resides
within the limits of the State of Pennsyl
vania, whether he be a resident of the
country or elty, a villager or farmer. I
have reason to believe, that good wagon-
roads have been longed for earnestly by the
people of the county which your paper re
presents for the past many years, but the
ways and means to obtain them are the
grave questions they have been unable to
so lve. To Illustrate the spirit of the peo
ple, we have only to turn attention to the
road on the Delaware river from the Mata
moras to the Monroe county line. This
road Is as good as can be found In any part
of the State however prosperous that part
may be. The reason for this Is that the
means of making It has been within the
power of the people of the district. The
natural grade of the road is easy and the
material for construction and repairs are
everywhere along by the wayside, and also
the neighborhoods through which It passes
are quite populous.
The other parts of the County are not so
fortunate in this respect, the ways load over
high moun tains, through swamps, over
rocks and largo brooks, and miles of sorub
by forest, almost uninhabited where materi
al for construction and repairs are not con
venient but must be hauled for consider
able distances. These obstacles and diffi
culties put it quite out of the reach and
power of the local residents to furnish good
and aooeptable roads for the wouldbe tra
vellers through these out of the way re
gions. Mr. Howard Klrkhara, one of the
supervisors In Lackawaxen township,
writes me, that he has In his dlstraot,(a
very rough and mountainous one,) thirty
one miles of road to keep in repair for the
year 1806, and only $398.85, with which to
dolt. This Is little more than 813.00 per
mile. Avery small sum for the condi
tions expected.
The Forest Lake Association of Pike
oounty expends nearly, if not quite that
urn, ui its roads yearly, and bas not more
than one-third of that mileage to keep In
repair and yet they are not what they
should be, and besides they are In a great
measure protected from heavy trafilo when
they are in soft condition.
The advantages of good roads are every
where conceded in civilized communities.
Our National Agricultural reports have
shown year after year In figures, the great
eoonomlo value of such to the public
whether they are used either for pleasure
or business and they also show thereby,
too, an Increase of property value to the
commonwealth, a point that should not be
overlooked by those who are urgent In the
malntainanoe of good highways through
all parts of this State. These figure may
in a general way be true theoretically, but
not altogether so practically. Then may
be rich and desirable lands throughout
this, and other States that have been
greatly enhanced In value by good roads.
But they have not been proportlonly so In
the rough and stony lands of Pike oounty
nor In any other such places. Should this
section of the oountry be obliged to bear
the expense under the present regime of
the roads called for In these reports, the
property along their lines wquld be con
fiscated to the State or oounty as the case
might be. As to the lessening the ex
pense of haulage of merchandise, or
farm products in these regions, there Is so
little of It, It need not enter into calcula
tion. During the last 26 years there have
been many suggestions advanced looking
towards the Improvement of highways, by
those who have acquired summer homes in
the oountry, and latterly, by the so-called
wheelmen. All since the turnpikes and
toll-gate have been given up, and the
burden of road repairing has fallen upon
the local resldeuts. Among these that
have taken form are the following: First,
that the roud-buildlng and repulriug
should be taken charge of by the different
State governments uudur the direction of
the State engineers, and the expenses of
such become, consequently, 'a burden on
the Treasuries of the commonwealths.
This Is nut likely to be taken as the rail
ways tlirnuKhmit the country havo become
virtually, the common carriers of passen
gers, iiifrrhnmiiMc, of farm and other pro
ducts, the mulls etc, and the wnifiin-mnds,
onlv l(H-al conveniences.
Another is, that each county should lie
responsible for Its romls, It Is for Its larger
bridges, and the money for building and
repairs be taken direct ly from the treasury
of the county. Thip. seems to bo the most
equitable plan as H would requlro the
wealthier parts of the county to aid the
poorer. Then Is st-iil another, and like
the above, would requiro some legislative
enactments to bring It obont, nnd seems
tome the moat feasible. Itlsn modifica
tion of the Inst mentioned. Thnt roads of
the county tie placed under the manage
ment of the county commissioners, and
this board bo given the power to appoint
supervisors or rondmasters, and require
them to consider the fitness to perform the
duties of the offices, nnd have their terms
of office to be not less than five years. That
the said commissioners be empowered to
employ a eounty surveyor to draft a gen
eral plan of road-buildtng and repairing
for those supervisors or roadniastera to
follow in keeping these high ways in order,
and also to authorize the same roadmas
ters to not only expend the moneys appro
priated for repairs but also to protect these
roads from hbusc, nnd to give them power
to grant licenses to trucks nnd wagons
that are Intended to carry three-quarters
of a ton or mnro, and to suspend their li
censes when the roads are soft and liable to
be damaged by thorn, and also to have the
power to protect them from any other use
that Is likely to damage and to collect such
penalty as the commissioners may fix for
the violation of the laws, and that the
road rn asters be required to make quarterly
reports to the Board of Commissioners of
the work done, where, the character of It,
also to report public roods that have fallen
Into disuse, In their Judgment, not neces
snry to be kept open any longer, and for
the board to take action towards closing
them. This suggestion or plan has many
points that are eminently practical, and
does not remove the management from
those who are most Intimately concerned
in them, and protecting these highways
from abuse seems to me another step In
the right direction. How often have we
all seen a road put in good repair and the
next dny or before It had a ohance to be.
come solid, a truck or wagon load of stone
or lumber passes over it and cuts it up so
that Its condition was worse then before
It was repaired, and this too, frequently,
by persons not at all interested or the re
sidents of the locality or a taxpayer any
where. Again, havo wo not frequently
seen loaded trucKs and wagons ocuig
drawn down hills of public highways with
chained wheels, tearing up bridges and
waterbreaks in tlieii course. This mode of
braking I should havo prohibited by the
lnw. This treatment of theso public con
veniences is not use, It is abuse, nnd
should be stopped by legal moans as there
seems to be no otner nvailamc. Mime urge
that all roads should be maeauemized and
made firm for all seasons of the year where
stone Is abundant, but this Is a very ex
pensive procedure, and unless It Is thor
oughly done, by laying the foundation
deeply and properly securing them by
drainage, In a few years they would be all
broken up and destroyed like many of the
old turnpikes are now. As to the appoint
ment of rondmasters, rather than continue
the old plan of electing by ballot yearly,
we all must concede might secure bettor
service, as the ballot Is not always guided
by the candidate's sjicrial fitness to perform
the duties of the olfice, but by appoint
ment, we should expect always to have It
made in thntview. As to tho Drond tires on
wheels of wagons and heavy trucks they
are good and should be required with
out any rebate of taxes, to be placed on all
vehicles used for heavy loads. But these
are t'Mpeciauy iiscioi wnere me ronus are
comparatively hard and are not the cure
all wo would have. I have often seen on
the mads where these tires were in use.
great ridges forced up on the outside of the
track to the hubs of tho front wheels, es
pecially where the road was of clay forma
tion. In closing. I will sav that the legis
lature should lie Invoked to give these
means and authority to protect the hlgh-
nniB lut misuiiR j wuutc iimni nui.w,
and then we shall soon have In all parts of
tne country uuaouiitetuy, good anu sare
highways and the people not giving grudg
ingly of time and money as they do now
towards these great pulilio conveniences
with these words on their Hps, " what is
tho use in thus spending time and money
when our best work may be undone in a
few days by men who have leased a stone
quarry or purchased a lumber tract along
To Whom It May Concern.
I need not particularize as to the
publication of a statement, not
sworn to, in the Gazette of March 18
1896, further than to say that it was
intended as a reflection upon my
truthfulness as to Edwin is. Kint
ners being in an intoxicated condi
tion when he made himself so con
spicuous at a Church Trustee meet
ing March 16th in the church at
Lay ton. Mince prejudice nas In a
measure died away, and reason and
truth resumes their wonted sway, I
wish at the risk of being considered
frivolous for paying any attention
to or even recalling this matter to
state as follows ; 1st That some of
the parties who signed that state
ment have since told that they were
induced to sign through the misre
presentations of E. B. Kintner ; 2nd
That they would now sign a state
ment under oath that such misre
presentations were made to them,
and tlmt tnoy signed under the In-
fluenceof such false statements ; 3rd
That he has himself told "that he
would not have taken part in the
church row if he liad not been a lit
tle full" ; 4th That various influen
ces, not creditable to the said E. B.
Kiutner, were used by him to in
duce many to sign said statement;
6th To ruitenite tho statement I
made in the Phess of March 20, that
E. B. Kintnur was intoxicated when
he took part in the church Trustee
meeting of March 16. If that state
ment is not true, then it is a libel,
the courts arc so ojion to him now,
as thoy were then.
