adopted :
In the untimely death of N. Win ton
Palmer, this community, and in particu[ lar this Board, has received a heavy blow.
President of the Board for the past six
| years, deeply interested in Lake View cemI etery, and active in every effort to improve
] and beautify it, he has been removed from
s life at a time when he was most useful in
j this as well as in many other important
I relations.
We shall miss his good judgment, his
I fine taste and his delightful companion; ship, and, while we must continue the
| work without him, it will be with deep
| regret and with a keen sense of personal
loss.
This tribute was entered on the records,
and as an expression of the sincere sym
pathy of the Board, the Secretary was
directed to send a copy to the bereaved
family, and also to the newspapers of the
village.

Mrs. Amy VanScoy, born April 19,1920,
in the township of Jerusalem, died at
Italy Hill July 10, 1916, aged 96 years, 2
months, and 20 days.
Her father and mother, Elizur and Ex
perience Barnes, were among the early
settlers of Jerusalem. They shared in the
hardships and privations of the pioneer
periods Some of their descendants sur
vive in various families of Yates County.
The burial place of Elizur and Experience
Barnes is still designated In Jerusalem by
plain marble slabs on what was original
ly the Joseph Cogswell place on West
Hil]?jm ' - *
;
The ancestral line of the deceased was of
Puritan origin, descending from Samuel
Barnes, a Connecticut farmer, who, with
his wife, Abigail Dains, were original
members of the. Friend’s Society. Two of
their sons, Parmelee and Elizur, came to
the New Jerusalem about 1790. The
other members of the family came about
three years later. They first settled near
Himrods, in the township of Milo. They
moved to Jerusalem in 1800.
Longevity seems to have been an inher
ited condition. Abigail Dains-Barnas,
the mother of Elizur Barnes, died in 1842,
at the age of 92 years. Experience Barnes,
the mother of Amy VanScoy, lived to be
about 90, and was one of,the last three sur
viving members of the Friend’s colony.
Mrs. VanScoy was first married to a
Mr. Beers, who died a few years after.
Her second husband was Cornelius Van
Scoy. They had two children, Helen, who
married Herbert Blood. She died a few
years ago in Penn Yan, where they re
sided. She was beloved by all who knew
her; Frank E. VanScoy, who married Ida
Wallace, and resides at Italy Hill.
Cornelius VanScoy was a good and in
dustrious citizen of Jerusalem, who died a
number of years ago. By diligence and
prudence he acquired a good farm, upon
which he put up good buildings and made
material improvements, rendering it an
attractive home. The place is now owned
and occupied by John Grady.
The fact that Mrs. VanScoy kept her
bed during most years of her life, involved
continuous and trying care, support, and
special labors on the part of her family
kindred. Frank E. VanScoy and his
amiable wife have borne the burden and
trial of care and responsibility these many
years with patience and cheerfulness, un
der the circumstances, rarely found in
similar conditions.
The funeral was held at. the Methodist
church at Italy Hill on the 12th of July.
The services were conducted by Rev. E.W.
Collins, of Prattsburgh.
Mrs. VanScoy’s daughter, Helen Van
Scoy Blood, left one son, Fred Blood, of
Prattsburgh. Mrs. VanScoy’s son, Frank
E., who married Ida Wallace, has a
daughter, who married Thomas W. Camp
bell, of Branchport, also a son, Rev.
Earl VanScoy. Mrs. VanScoy also left
several great-grandchildren.
Hers was an unusually long life, far be
yond that of the great majority. She was
the last of the family line in her genera
tion/.

“ ESPERANZA”
The January number of “ The House
Beautiful* ’> published in Boston, de- J
votes several pages to an illustrated !
article entitled “ Esperanza, Crooked ;
Lake, y a te s County, New Y o rk /’ by 1
Miss tihristma Livingston Rose, of |
Geneva. A staff photograper was sent j
to Esperanza to take the picture which
is reproduced in full page in the maga
zine. It shows a small p art of the
front porch with the author sitting in a
willow chair, a massive pillar at one j
side of the steps, and a beautiful view |
across the fields to the west branch of ;!
Lake Keuka, with the hills of the east j
side of the lake some ten or twelve j;
miles away dimly outlined. There are ’
five spialler illustrations, -three views j
of the stately mansion, one of the
flower-garden of which the article says: j
“ Landscape architects sAy it resem- j
hies a real Italian garden more nearly ]
than many of the so-called Italian gar- ’
dens in this country. ”
The write-up and illustrations fill
three pages and a half of the magazine
and there is a note of personal interest
all through the interesting story. We
quote:
“ I am sure my great grandmother
must have honeymooned in Italy and
persuaded her husband on their return
to build an Italian villa, for the Italian
influence, even to the bambino in the
court yard is certainly strong. However
as far as I can find out, all her journeys j
were back and forth to New York in a I
packet boat on the Erie canal, with the 1
exception of one far western trip by f
prairie wagon. *
* I can hear her |
say, No, John, I won’t have a fram e [
house, even if it does take two years |
to build of stone. So plaster it was, j
over walls of stone three feet thick. |
“ Someone says, ‘you haven’t really 1
described the house at all.’ I reply, j
‘but I don’t know anything about
architecture. If I say th at the propor- >
tions of the house are unusually fine, I
that the concrete pillars are twenty-six t
feet high and over three yards around,
I’ll only be saying what the architects
say. If I describe the attic, fifty-two {
feet long by thirty eight feet wide, I j
shall have to stop and tell about the I
performances there of “ She Stoops to
Conquer’ and ‘Romeo and Ju liet’ that
my great aunts and their cousins used
to give before large audiences gathered j
from miles around; If I tell about the;
well-room behind the dining room, such i

KEUKA WATER ALL CONTAMINATED.
The state has practically refused to an

Keuka Lake or from the water supply

explaining to Health Officers Strait that
every sample sent is contaminated and it
seems unnecessary to analyze samples
every thirty days or oftener. The opinion
that the water is pure during the winter
regardless of its condition during the sum

January 13, President F. H . L ynn, of

COPY OF LETTER TO DR, STRAIT.
1 Dctober 5, 1946
B. S. Strait, M. D., Health Officer,
Penn Yan, N. Y.
Dear S ir :
1 am enclosing herewith copies of the
results of analyses made by the Divis
ion of Laboratories & Research/ of
samples of water/collected by you from!
the public water supply of the village I
of Penn Yan.
You will note from these results th at aj
small amount of active contamination is I
indicated by the bacteriological results. I
As you will recall, it was pointed out ini
pur recent report upon the w ater supply!
of your village th at the supply is att!
times subject to interm ittent contain-*
illation by surface wash from populated!
areas and to accidental, incidental or:
wilful contamination "by the many trap*sient visitors during the summer to
Keuka Lake. I t was, therefore, rec
ommended th at the village install
apparatus for sterilization of the sup
ply with liquid chlorine. In view of the
evidence obtained by the sanitary
| survey, it does not seem necessary to
have further analyses made in order to
confirm our recommendations for ster
ilization. As you will readily under
stand, a single sample can show only
the condition of the supply at the time
which this sample was collected,
although the results may serve to con
firm the conclusions arrived at from
the inspection.
I tru st therefore th at you will urge
upon the village authorities the install
ation of sterilization apparatus a t the
earliest possible time. Assuring you of
my interest in any efforts you may
make to protect the sanitary quality of
the supply, I am.
Yours very truly,
T heodore H orton,
I
Chief Engineer, l

Wednesday morning, about 6:30
o'clock, the old Bartleson Shearman
house at Shearman’s Hollow, was de
stroyed by fire. Some of the contents
were saved. The loss is estimated at
$7000 to $8000. There was an insurance
of $5000.
This hohse was a landmark in that
part of the county. It was occupied by
I Warren S. Wright, a grandson of the
! late Bartleson Shearman. Mr, Sheari man’s father, Ezekiel Shearman, setj tied in Jerusalem about a century and
a quarter ago. In 1790 he marriejd Mary
Supplee, who came to the New Jeru
salem with the first- of the Friends.
, She received 160 acres of land on lot
;47, from the Friend, for which she
, paid $80. Ezekiel Shearman got 150
acres on lot 48 from David Wagener,
in payment for his early explorations
for the Friends Society.
Some of this property haa been in
possession of the family ever since.
A cluster of apple trees was planted
there in 1794.
In those early days wild animals were
numerous in that neighborhood. Cleve

Mrs. Sabra Lawrence Stark, widow
of Oliver Stark, died in her home on
the corner of Clinton and Hamilton
streets, Penn Yan, Tuesday afternoon,
January 30th. She was born in Penn
Yan on January 26, 1820, and so had
passed her 97th birthday. She was
believed to be on© of the oldest per
sons in Yates county.
H er husband was prominent in the
affairs of the village. At one time,
many years ago he owned and con
ducted a bank on the site where the
Citizens Bank of Penn Yan now
stands. He built the family residence
where Mrs. Stark died. They moved
into it in 1856, and ever since then it
has been her home.
Mrs. S tark was known for years as
one of the foremost women of the
county. Ever since her girlhood she
has been a member of the Methodist
church, to be exact she joined in 1855,
having held her membership for 61
years. _
Tli© history of the Lawrence fam
ily, to which Mrs. Stark belonged, is
an interesting one. H er grandfather,
John Lawrence, a Quaker, came here
from New Bedford, while the country
was a wilderness. In July, 1789, he
bought a lot for 40 cents an acre and
lived in a ten t thereon until a log
house could be erected. He was well
to do and prosperous. His son, Meletiah Lawrence, Mrs. Stark’s father,
was bom in 1774, and was interested
with his father in many enterprises.
The family at one time owned lot 32
in the town of Milo, which embraced
nearly all of th at part of Penn Yan
lying west of Jacob’s brook.
She leaved o n e daughter, Mrs. Hen
dry C. Hermans, of Binghamton, and
two sons, Charles, of Penn Yan, and
Federal S., of Brinson, Ga. The son,
Charles, came here from Chicago
seven years ago to assist in making
comfortable his mother’s last years.
He is a veteran of the Civil W ar and
was believed to have been the only
survivor of th at war in Yates county
who had a parent living.
The funeral was held from the
Stark homestead on Thursday after
noon, the Rev. L. S. Boyd officiating,
with burial in Lake View cemetery.

SOME DAM FIGURES.
F P U
ON THE ROAD: DR. FINLEY SEEMS TO BELIEVE IN SIGNS
TRAVELING AFOOT
BY
JO H N
r p iIRAVELING afoot ”—the very words start the imagination out upon the road ! One’s nomad ancestors cry
within one across centuries and invite to the open
spaces. Many to whom this cry comes are impelled to seek the
mountain paths, the forest trails, the solitudes or wildernesses
coursed only by the feet of wild animals/ But to in@ the black
or dim roads, the people’s highways, are the more appealing—
those strips or ribbons of land which is still held in common, the
paths wide enough for the carriages of the rich and the carts of
the poor to pass each other, the roads over which they all bear
their creaking burdens or run on errands of mercy or need, but
preferably roads that do not also invite the flying automobiles,
whose occupants so often make the pedestrian feel that even
these strips have ceased to-be democratic.
My traveling afoot, for many years, has been chiefly in busy
city streets or in the country roads into which they run—not
far from the day’s work or from the thoroughfares of the
world’s concerns.
Of such journeys on foot which I recall with greatest pleasure
are some that I have made in the encircling1 of cities. More
than once I have walked around Manhattan Island (an afternoon’s or a day’s adventure within the reach of thousands), keeping as close as possible to the water’s edge all the way round. One
not only passes through physical conditions illustrating the
various stages of municipal development from the wild forest at
one end of the island to the most thickly populated spots of the
earth at the other, hut one also passes through diverse cities
and civilizations. Another journey of this sort was one that
I made around Paris, taking the line of the old fortifications,
which are still maintained, with a zone following the fortifications most of the way just outside, inhabited only by squatters,
some of whose houses were on wheels ready for “ mobilization ”
at an hour’s notice. (It was near the end of that circumvallating
journey, about sunset, on the last day of an old year, that I saw
my first airplane rising like a great golden bird in the aviation
field, and a few minutes later my first elongated dirigible—precursors of the air armies.)
I have read that the Scotch once had a custom of making a
yearly pilgrimage or excursion around their boroughs or cities
—“ beating the bounds,” they called it, following the boundaries
that they might know what they had to defend. It is a custom
tliat might profitably he revived. We should then know better
the cities in which we live. We should be stronger, healthier,
F IN L E Y
for such expeditions, j LlC1 the better able and the more willing
to defend our boundaries.
But these are the exceptional foot expeditions. For most ur
banite/ there is the opportunity for tjie daily walk to and from
work, if; only they were not tempted by the wheel of the street
^roffm otdf rHiSThgHiAsubway strike in New York not long ago
men riding in improvised barges or buses going
at a slower-than-vva.Iking pace, because, I suppose, though still
possessed of legs, these cliff dwellers had become enslaved by
wheels, just like the old mythical Ixion who was tied to one.
I once walked late one afternoon with a man who did not
know that he could walk, from the Custom-House, down near
the Battery, to the City College gymnasium, 138th Street, and
what we did (at the rate of a mile in about twelve minutes)
thousands are as able to do, though not perhaps at this pace
when the streets are full.
And what a “ preparedness ” measure it would be if thousands
of the young city men would march uptown, every day after
hours, in companies! The swinging stride of a companionless
avenue walk, on the other hand, gives often much of the adventure that one has in carrying the ball in a football game,
Many times when I could not get out of the city for a vacation I have walked up Fifth Avenue at the end of the day and
have half closed my eyes in order to see men and women as the
blind man saw them when his eyes were first touched by the
Master—see them as u trees walking.”
But the longing of all at times, whether it be an atavistic or
a cultivated longing, is for the real trees and all that goes with
them. Immediately there open valleys with u pitcher ” elms, so
graceful that one thinks of the famous line from the Odyssey
in which Ulysses says that once he saw a tree as beautiful as
the most beautiful woman—valleys with elms, hill-tops with farsignaling poplars, mountains with pines, or prairies with their
groves and orchards. About every city lies an environing
charm, even if it have no trees, as, for example, Cheyenne, Wyoming, where, stopping for a few hours not long ago, I spent
most of the time walking out to the encircling mesas that give
view of both mountains and city. I have never found a city 1
without its walkers’ rewards. New York has its Palisade paths
its Westchester hills and hollows, its “ south shore ” and “ north
shore,” and its Staten Island (which I have often thought of as
Atlantis, for once on a holiday I took Plato with me to spend
an afternoon on its littoral, away from the noise of the city, and

SOMl PAM FIGURES.
Every time the water in Lake Keuka
gets high enough to run over the dam
at Main street bridge in Penn Yan,
there is a great amount of discussion as
to when it happened last, and how high
the water was then. “ The oldest in
habitant” is often quoted as authority
for some of the statements. A couple
of weeks ago a story appeared in a
number of newspapers saying the water
in Keuka Lake had not been as high in
fifty years. When this was published
the water was about twenty-six inches
deep running over the dam.:.
Qn April 11, 1870, the water was 48
inches over the dam. On November
11th that year the water was 39 inches
below the dam, making a drop of seven
feet and nine inches. On March 13,
1871, the water was 51£ inches below
the dam. In October, 1872, and in De
cember, 1899, the w ater was about six
feet below the dam.
Here are some recent dates when the
water commenced running over the
dam: May, 1901, June, 1902, April,
1903, April, 1904.

* A Canandaigua correspondent fur
nished the following to the Rochester
Herald:
In a fit of despondency brought on by
worry over his financial affairs, James
M. Pulver*; aged 64 y e ars/ slashed his
throat with a raz »r at his home in Gibson
Street Monday afternoon. His body
was found in the kitchen by his wife,
who returned last night from a visit
with friends in Rochester. Coroner
Harry M. Smith issued a certificate.
Mr. Bplver had been employed at' the
Lisk plant. He worked yesterday morn
ing, but did not return at noon. A
friepd of his wife who c^led late yes
terday afternoon states that a man
whom she took for Pulver opened the
!door. Coroner Smith thinks the man
; killed himself about 6 o’clock.
For years Mr. Pulver was a promi
nent farmer in the town of Jerusalem,
Yates County. About eighteen months |
ago he sold his farm and disposed of his
horses, stock and implements and came
to Canandaigua to reside. The man to
whom he sold the farm defaulted on the
interest. Pulver, having taken a mort
gage, was compelled to take over the
farm. I He is said to have been poorly
equipped in a financial way to restock
the farm, and he worried continually.
Mrs. Pulver told Coroner Smith th at
her husband frequently arose in the
night, dressed and wandered about the
house. She admitted that he had threat
ened to take his life.
Mr. Pulver leaves his wife, two
brothers and three sisters, William
Pulver, of Penn Yan, Elias Pulver, of
Jerusalem, Mrs. F. M. Winagle, of
Gorham, Mrs. Samuel Wallace, of
Branchport, and Mrs. G. Campbell, of
Moravia. The remains will be taken to
Italy Hill for interment.

Monday afternoon a fire in the store
room over the Shutts grocery, caused a
large amount of damage. A clerk
went up stairs after some large paper
sacks. The storeroom was dark and he
lighted a match to locate the bags. He
■supposed the partly burned match was
;out when he threw it on tb.e floor and
left the storeroom. A quarter of an
hour later Mr. Shutts heard a noise as
if things were falling in. the storeroom,
and going to the stairway he discovered
a big blaze. A lot of highly inflamma
ble merchandise was in the storeroom
. and the fire spread rapidly. The fire
department headquarters is directly j
across the street from the store, and i n !
a very few minutes after the discovery
of the fire streams of water were j
turned into the building from front and j
rear. Smoke emerged frofm the attic j
in such volume as to make it appear as ,
if the whole top of the building was on [
fire.
W ater poured in at the top of the
building came, down through and was
soon several inches deep on the street
floor.
A large quantity of sugar, in barrels,
flour in Sacks, and package goods were
carried out of the store and piled on
the sidewalk outside. The books from
Judge Knox’s law office, over the g ro -»
eery store, were carried down stairs |
and put in the Gas office.
Mrs. David Miller’s art store, across
the hall from Judge Knox’s office, suf
fered from smoke. Many, of her goods
were carried out. F. W. Bush’s music
store was drenched ; all of the pianos and
talking machines were moved out. The
pianos were pladed in the Arcade hall
way, and the talking machines were
taken itito nearby stores.
Mr. and Mrs* Bush and son Warner
were in Geneva attending the choral
society concert and did not learh of the
fire until their arrival home a few min
utes before six o’clock.
The building occupied by the grocery
store and Judge Knox is owned by Isaac
Crosby, of Penn Yan, and the loss is
fully covered by insurance.
Mr. Shutt’s stock was insured for
$3100.
F oshay—In Penn Yan, May 8, 1917, C.
Fred Foshay, aged 56 years.
He had been in poor health along
time. For thirty-two years he was a
traveling salesman. He leaves his wife,
his mother, Mrs. Mary Foshay; a broth
er, William Foshay, all of Penn Yan.
The funeral will be held Friday morn
ing at 9:30 from St. Michael’s church.
He was a member of the Elks, and a
former trustee of the village of Penn

PENN YAN CHAPTER
OF THE RED CROSS.
Organization Meeting in Court
House Next Tuesday. ,
On Tuesday afternoon of this week a
meeting was held in the Grand Army
room in the Arcade for the purpose of
boosting the Red Cross. Mrs. E. L.
Horton presided.
Arrangements were completed for a
membership campaign, and for a general
meeting next Tuesday afternoon, at 2
o’clock, in the Court House, at which
I time it is planned to elect officers.
I About a dozen new members were en
rolled at the meeting Tuesday, and be
fore next Tuesday it is hoped there may
be 500 enrolled in Penn Yan Chapter.
It is the desire of those whe have been
instrumental in bringing about the or
ganization of this chapter to make it a
live Red Cross unit. Permanent head|l
quarters will be opened in some accessi
ble place in the business section of Penn
Yan, and whatever is necessary in the
way of equipment will be secured.
The unfolding of war plans of the
United States and the duration of the I
conflict in which our country is just en-1
tering, will have much to do in shaping f
the work of Red Cross Chapters, but j
the Penn Yan Chapter will strive to j
render assistance in every way possible.
Miss Elizabeth Kelly,of the Academy j
faculty, has offered the services of her j
class in sewing a part of their time, and
Superintendent W. E. DeMelt volun- j
teered to have the advertising m atter
of the chapter distributed by school
boys.
Comparatively few people in Yates
county will be called upon to go to the
front, but every resident of the county
ought to feel anxious to do everything
possible to assist those who do go. The
Red Cross is one of the agencies organ
ized to furnish such assistance, and byj
the payment of one dollar a person may j
be enrolled for one year.
A
|
Anyone desiring to enroll will find a j
station for that purpose at the entrance
to the Corcoran-Ovenshire store. The '
young women in attendance will L ei
glad to have your name on their list, }
and your dollar will mingle With the i
contributions of hundreds of thousands j
of other persons and speed on its errand i
of mercy.

COST PER STUDENT
FOR EDUCATION
The Non-Resident Pupils
Number 215 in P&tiil
Yan High S bool. Costs
Dist. about $50 perP*T~;1
During the present school year 215
non-resident High School students
have attended Penn Yan Academy f o r
the whole or part of the year. The
largest previous registration of non
resident "students was last year, when
193 attended the Academy.
It is interesting to note that these
students come from five counties:
Sengca, Steuben, Schuyler, Ontario
and Yates. Seneca county furnishes
one student. Steuben, five; Schuyler,
onn; Ontario, twenty-three, and Yates.
185,
The Yates county students repre
sent the towns of Milo, Benton, Jeru
salem, Torrey, Potter, Barrington,
Starkey. Of the towns of Yates coun
ty the largest attendance is from
Jerusalem, which has 63 students at
tending the Academy. Benton is next
with 46, then come Torrey with 30,
Milo with 24, Potter with 18, Barring
ton with three, Starkey with one.
The attendance at the Academy has
reached practically the maximum
capacity of the building. The organ
iRation of the Junior High School and
the resultant economy of space in th(
Liberty street school have added
somewhat to the capacity of th<
Academy. However, no student hat
i§r l
turned -away on account f t y

Hi
i ^ c k or room, nor is it a f a l l probable
• that an y w ill ev er be denied <admis' sion on that account.
; For paym ent to the district of th e
1tuition for th ese non-resident students
|the sta te allow s annually t h ^ s u m of
;$20 for each -student. In addition to
ithis, each student has been a sk ed for
a registration fe e of $5, w hich makqs
,a total for th e district of $25 for each
strident w ho atten d s th e Academ y th e
entire year.
; It is a m atter of considerable diffifculty to estim a te exactly th e cost to
th e d istrict for each non-resident, stu
dent. In calculating the e x p e n s e . it
m ust be rem em bered th at th e over
head charges w.orild b e th e sam e if no

school. T he in te r e st charges would

post of ven tilation, ligh tin g, heating,
Supervison, atten d a n ce- charges, up

janitor service, insurance, etc.,[w ould
pe the sam e.
On the other hand, to care properly
for a. larger num ber o f students a
greater num ber of teach ers is n eces
sary. Therefore, w ith the- non-resi
dent students th e charges for iristfuc-:
tiori are m aterially increased. There
as also an in crease in the c o st o f Sup*

During th e year?19L5-16 the c o st per
student for secondary education in
Penn Yan A cadem y w a s approxim ate

average attendance, not upon the
registration. F or the present year the
cost w ill be som ew hat m ore th an $50.
O m itting the fixed and overbeaQ

estim ated cost for a non-resident stu-,
dent for th e year 1915-16 w as about
$32.50. For th is year th e cost is
slig h tly greater, • and for next, year
greater still. T o cover th e increased
cost for the current year th e Board
of Education fixed a registration fee
of $5 for each student.
Wlith th e general increase, in prices]
of all kinds there h a s been an increase
in the salaries o f teachers. The co st
of repairs, furniture and supplies has

„ m YAH MILL
OWNERS PROTEST
Hearing on Lake Lamoka
Power Company A c t
Amendment.
HI
A hearing was held at Albany Wed
nesday before the Judiciary Commiti tee of the Assembly on Assemblyman
! Lown’s bill amending the charter of
1the Lake Lamoka Electric W ater
Power Corporation.
This amendment was introduced by
Mr. Lown at the urgent request of the
owners of paper mills and others on
j the stream which constitutes^ the out*let of Lake Keuka, emptying into
; Seneca lake at Dresden. The purpose
of the amendment is to eliminate
what* is considered by many as a
“joker” in the present hill, namely
the power of the Lake Lamoka Cor
poration to take by eminent domain
any or all of the power sites on the
outlet under the guise of developing
electric power by drawing water from
Lake Lamoka to Lake Keuka, storing
it therein, and then removing to Sen
eca lake, as is provided by the
original bill.
This bill was introduced in the
: Senate in 1-918, held there until the
j final days of the session, and then
] rushed through both houses,/ and
j although it was passed upon by both
i the Conversion Commission and the
the Public Service Commission, the
possible danger to power users on the
outlet of Lake Keuka seems to have
been overlooked by everyone until
the bill had been signed by the Gov
ernor.
•The bill . in its present form is
probably unconstitutional, but the mill
! owners on the outlet of Lake Keuka
j feel that they should not be put to the I
j trouble and expense of determining!
this point.
The amendment introduced by As
semblyman Lown does not in any
manner disturb the scheme of power
development by the withdrawal of
I water for Lake Lamoka and its water
zi shed to Lake Keuka, but merely
■i deprives the company of any right to
[ j follow th is" water after it has been
■[( emptied into Lake Keuka.
(Continued on page seven.)
Lownr, in
ment,fBaid,f T am * 4n favor 01 any
Ie^ftiaâte scheme whiph will develop
our1T a rt of the country, hut I have
always cohsidered this a very danger
ous precedent threatening not only the
poweri rights at home, hut all other
power owners in the state, as this hill
may be used as a precedent for future
legislation of the same kind. The
right of eminent domain should he
jealously guarded, and rarely, if ever,
conferred upon a private corporation.
I feel that the bill as passed last
year contains in it .the possibilities of
trouble for the owners of power sites
in the outlet of Lake Keuka, and is not
necessary for the legitimate Lamoka
power development." I?
Other members see a very danger
ous precedent in this bill, and are
independently considering the intro
duction of a bill repealing the whole
measure.
FODXr AfiMNISTRATION.
On February 1st, the undersigned
will be permitted to; retire from the
offifce of Food Administrator for
Yates county. Before retiring I de
sire to express my appreciation of the
support so unselfishly given by the
people. I do not believe thafe the peo
ple of Yates county desire to be
thanked for doing that which was
manifestly their duty and privilege.
However, it seems proper, I should
express my grateful appreciation pf
the cheerfulând prompt acquiescence
in all rules and restrictions of the
Food Administration, which has placed'
little Yates, tHe smallest county of the
state, in such an eviable position
among the sister counties. I, there

(their hearty cooperation and congratu

The largest bird is a splendid wild

from Michigan by Samuel Williams.
There are besides, beautiful par
tridges, grouse and quail.
The “Henrietta.”—O. G. Bryant has
introduced a novelty in the waters of
Crooked Lake in the form of a beau
tiful steam yacht, large enough to
carry from 50 to 75 passengers and
swift enough to make at least fifteen
miles an hour. The little steamer is
a decided beauty and skims the water
|like a bird.
J. T. Raplee and B. F. Gulick, of

DANISH CHURCH
FOR PtHH YAH,
Will Be Ready for Use in Decentb e r-W iD be 30x60 Feet.
Contracts are about ready to be let
for the Danish Lutheran Church, to
be erected on Hamilton Street. The
building is to be a frame structure, in
gothic style, and finished in stucco.
The outside measurements are 30x60
feet; the tower, 12x12 feet. The seat
ing Capacity will be about 150. In the
basement arrangements will be made
for a Sunday School room 20x36 feet.
It is hoped the church will be ready for
dedication in December.
The first Danish settlers came to
Yates County about 1880, and since
then there has been a steady inflow of
the banish element up to 1914, when,
caused by the war, it almost ceased.
The Danes take pleasure in farming,
and they have brought with them from
the old country a training and thrift
iness that makes for results. Natural
ly, they love the country of their child| hood, and in their homes they speak |
| their native language, arid generally \
they teach their children to speak and]
read it, but having come with the idea
to stay they are proud to be American j
citizens, and so do their part in build
ing up their adopted country, not as a
separate body, but uniting and harmon- [
izing their efforts with those whose anf cestors came long before them.
] The Danes are brought up in the j
Lutheran faith, and have a good relig- j
I ious eduuation in the public schools in j
Denmark. The first pastor that paid ar
visit to the Danish people in Penn Yan,
. was Rev. R. Andersen from Brooklyn,
in 1881. Since then, for many years,
, they had to be contented with a few
pastoral Visits every year, until in 1909,
Rev. M. Mat hies en cam e. and took upf
the work. A congregation was formed
and services were held in the Presby-j
terian Sunday School rooms on Sunday
afternoons. Since then the work has]
progressed, not always on a smooth!
road, but at present the Danish people)
have united in an effort to build a
church of their own. A fund has been]
raised, and last winter proceedings werer
taken to have the congregation incor
porated and to have a church built this]
summer. The lot, situated on Hamil
ton street is 110x280 feet. The church!
will be located in the upper corner and]
in line with the dwellings* Provisions
are made for future additions and a(
parsonage on the lot. The ground will!
be planted with trees and shrubbery, j
so a s . to conform to the old country!
idea of a village church.
It is felt that it will be a great help]
to the work, and Sn inspiration to the]
people to gather in renewed efforts in
the building up; of the congregation.
.The church will be known as St. Paul’s
Lutheran. At present the services are |
eld in Danish but services in English 1
lay be started in the near future.

TRUSTEES’ MEETING.
** The display of oratorical fireworks at
the regular meeting of the board of
trustees last Monday night was long,
loud and continuous, and attracted the
attention of people passing through
Maiden Lane, and others in nearby
offices. The occasion . of the verbal
demonstration was the appearance of a
committee of citizens and business men
before the board with a petition con
taining 175 signers, asking for the re
instatement of traffic officer Case
Blodgett, whose services the board, at
a meeting the Thursday night previous,
voted tti dispense with.
The village fathers finally decided
that the adoption of the resolution rel
egating Officer Blodgett to the discard
was irregular, and Casey’s battingf
average Tuesday morning made Ty
Gobb look like an amateur. "

HANDICAP?

?*/T
A week ago a man of prominence in the Middlesex
Valley wrote the Democrat :
“Started for Penn Yan this morning on ’bus for
Stanley; !bus broke down and missed train connections.
It is getting to be a hard matter for people in this
section to get to Penn Yan.’’
A woman from Pulteney said in Penn Yan last week:
“Hardly anybody comes to Penn Yan from around
Pulteney, to trade, because of the poor service for
passenger traffic on Lake Keuka.”
Last Sunday the New York Central Railroad took
off two passenger trains from the Penn Yan-Dresden
branch. The present schedule discourages people
along the line and in Dresden coming to Penn Yan to
trade. The only passenger service on this road now
is one morning and one evening train. A person com
ing to Penn Yan from Dresden must reach here at
8:35 a. m.? and remain here until 7.20 p. m.
These conditions, if allowed to continue, will cost
the business men of Penn Yan thousands of dollars
annually. This is a matter in which every resident
of the village should be interested, A vigorous pro
test to the Railroad Company, and if necessary a
complaint to the Public Service Commission, would,
we believe, result in the running of a train somewhere
near the middle of the day on the New York Central
road.
.'
The Ejrie railroad owns the Lake Keuka boats, and
naturally they are interested in pulling all the busir/-ness possible to Hammondsport. Every season for the
past few years the business men of Penn Yan have
complained of the boat service, and each year they
have succeeded in wringing some concessions from
the Erie. The best service of which the boats are
now capable would be poor enough. Of course, pas
senger traffic on the lake is light compared with years
ago, but the Erie Railroad having prevented the con
struction of a railroad to Penn Yan along the east side
of the lake, ought to be compelled to give*the village
better boat service.
We, the undersigned, attorneys and
counselors at law, residing or prac
ticing in the village of Penn Yan.
Yates county, New York, do hereby
agree to close our offices for the trans
action of all business on each and
every Saturday afternoon during the
months of July and August.

It was about 1830 that Louis Phil
lippe was called from his long ex
ile upo,n this continent to the French
throne. FTe was the last king of
France. He was a mjodest and unas
suming ruler. He was known as the
Citizen King.
"
There have been some vague allu
sions to the supposed journeyings of
the Frenchmen alluded to, elsewhere
in W estern New York. Such accounts
are apparently not well authenticated.
MILES A. DAVIS.
We,
*
*
A French King in This Region.
Recently I have seen a brief ref
erence in the Chronicle to an exiled
King of France making a hurried
visitation, to this region. I was not
quite satisfied with the meager ac
count given and therefore have looked 1
up further references, the results of :
which are herewith embodied:
During the French Revolution of k
1793, when King Louis XIV jyas be-j
headed, his eldest son* Louis Phillipe, |
heir to the throne, fled fromj the coun-|
try and became an exile for upward of ;
thirty years.
First, he found a refuge in Switzer
land, under an assumed name, and
when suspicion was aroused he fled to
Denmark.
In 1796 he got in communication
with his mother, the deposed queen,
and by her efforts with the then rulers
of the French, it was agreed that if
she would induce her son to migrate
to. the United States, the sequestra
tion pf the property of the royal fam
ily should be removed and the broth
ers should be released from prison to
join him in America.
: Accordingly, he reached Philadelphia
September, 1796. The two brothers ar
rived some days later. They were
cordially welcomed in the Quaker f
City. They visited Washington the 1
following spring at M*t. Vernon. After |
a leisurely tour through Virginia,
Kentucky, and Ohio, they arrived at
Buffalo in June, from whence they
started a few days later on ther re-j
turn to Philadelphia.
It was on this return journey that
whatever local interest the narrative
possesses, is found. The distinguished
travelers stopped at Canandaigua
several weeks as the guest of Thomas
Morris. Afterward they journeyed to
Geneva, and after a short stay there
they obtained a rough boat, engaged
an oarsman, and passed over the Sen
eca Lake, which was then in its wil
derness of forest-bounded shores.
They arrived at Catharinestown, three
miles south of the head of Seneca
Lake, following Catherine Creek from
the head of the lake to this site of the
former Indian village. Here they re
mained several days with George
Mills, an original settler in the Sen
eca Lake valley. While there they
made a sketch of Che-qua-gah Falls,
on the west side of tke present vil
lage of Montour Falls. Afterward,
when Louis Phillipe became King of
FYance, this picture was placed in the
art gallery of the Tuileries in Paris,
where it was, afterward seen and exCamjned with special interest by Thurlow Weed.
From Catharinestown they proceed
ed on foot, with their packs on their
-hacks, to Newtown (now Elmira),
where they fished ih tke Chemung riv
er and hunted in the surrounding for
ests a number of days, till Henry
Tower fitted them out with a Durham
boat, provisioned and mianned, in
which they descended the Chemung
and east branch of the Susquehanna
Rivers to Wilkesbarre, thence across
the country to Philadelphia.
One of the travelers writing to a
sister across the sea, thus describes
their journeying:
: “It took us four months. We trav
eled during th at time a thousand
leagues, and always on th e same
horses, except the last one hundred
leagues which was performed partly
jtby water, partly on foot, partly on
-hired horses, and partly in the stage
or public conveyance. We have seen
many Indians and remained many
days in their -country. We passed
fourteen nights in the woods, devoured
by all manner of insects, after being
wet to the Skin, without being able to
dry Qrirsejyeg, and eating pork and

Church Building Contract Let,
The contract for the erection of St.
Paul’s <Lutheran Church in Hamilton
street, this village, was swarded on
Monday to Larson E. Jensen, of Penn
Yan. The work will be commenced at
onoe, and it is hoped that the building
will be ready for use by Christmas. The
congregation will be.com posed of Dan
ish Americans, of whom there is a large 111
number in this neighborhood. The
services of the church are now con
ducted in the Danish language.
The new building will be 30x60 feet;
the tower 12x12 feet. It will be a frame
structure, finished in stucooo. The
style of the architecture is Gothic. In
the basement there will be a Sundayschool room 20x36 feet.
There is room on the lot for a par
sonage, which it is the purpose of the
congregation to build later. The prop
erty will cost about $8,000, and with the
spacious grounds planted with trees
and shrubbery should make an attrac
tive spot in the village.

Penn Yan, N.Y., August 4, 1917.
Dear Friend:
£^
<
We are writing this letter to call attention to a matter which is sure to interest every
worthy citizen. The village papers have made some reference to it, but not all the facts have been
clearly set forth.
It is our purpose in this letter to state the opportunity which has come to our door, and the
importance of our giving it most careful consideration.
We have made spasmodic and insufficient attempts to establish Keuka College, but nothing
of the magnitude and adequacy now proposed has ever been attempted.
The Baptists of New York number 182,000. They propose to raise $500,000 to endow
Keuka College and Cook Academy. Two-thirds of this money, or $333,000 will belong to Keuka
College. This sum will give to the College an adequate endowment and secure the permanency of
the institution. This money can never be dissipated, for it will be held in trust by the New York
Convention Board, and only the interest disbursed for the maintenance of the College.
And now, we ask, is it of interest to YOU that we should have a good, strong College in our
midst whose existence is assured for a hundred years and more? What will it mean to Penn Yan?
1st. It will make us a College Town, and give us prestige over the entire State.
2nd. It will mean the expenditure of at least $100,000 annually, nearly every dollar of
which will be spent here.
3rd. It will give us a standard College where the people of this and surrounding communities can send their girls at a moderate expense under the best of influences and in the midst of
most beautiful environments.
4th. It will bring many girls from other portions of the State. This will mean that their
parents will come, at least to commencement. They will come to know our village and environs,
and some will move here for permanent residence.
5th. These conditions will not be temporary but permanent.
There are other places that would gladly give $200,000 to have such a school founded in
their midst, but we have the advantage of location and a good building. We can have the College
if we wish it. Dr. Haynes has asked of us a very reasonable thing. He asks us to show whether
we want this $333,000 brought to our midst and a school established': We are the ones to benefit
most by it, not the men who live at a distance and give. Therefore, Dr. Haynes asks that this
County pledge $50,000 on condition that $450,000 is pledged outside. We ought to do it. We can
do it if all our people will show an interest and make their pledges. The pledges run for five years.
There are those who can give $200 per year. A good number can pledge $100 per year, and very
few who cannot give $20 per year. That would give us some $1000 pledges, some $500 pledges
and very many $100 pledges.
Penn Yan must give $30,000 if we get $50,000 in the county.
Will you do your share ? Will you also give the share of some other resident who enjoys the
benefits of Penn Yan but will never give towards its betterment? We shall need to do both.
We are coming to see yon soon. Be prepared to do your best. Remember all pledges are
conditional and no money is asked now.
Yours for a Larger and Better Penn Yan,
A.

Miss Bates has lived to see many
changes. Coming to a wilderness, she
has seen it become a garden of beauty
and productiveness; discoveries and in

of effort, and manners and customs and
habits of thought have changed with
the other things. She has told of an
incident which happened in those early
days which would scarcely occur in the
present age.

CHLORINE TREj
im.
Recent analyses of Lake Keuka water
have demonstrated very clearly that
the time has arrived when steps should
H be taken to purify the water used for
■j domestic purposes in Penn Yan. With
fifty miles of shore line and the large
number of cottages, hotels and farm
residences along the lake, the wonder
is that the water has remained as
whjolesome as the analyses of previous
years showed it to be.
There are two methods of purifying
| the water—a filtration plant, and
j chlorine treatment.
Last week we
| noticed an item in a Dunkirk news
paper, as follows :
The quantity of chlorine being mixed
I with the city water has been slightly
J increased within the last few days on
H instructions from the state board • of
H health. Between 3£ and A \ million galm Ions of water are being pumped daily.
/ Heretofore about six pounds of
If chlorine was mixed with the water
g daily, now the quantity J s 7J pounds.
■ T h e Democrat wrote the publishers
asking if the chlorine treatment had
proven satisfactory in Dunkirk and ref
ceived the following reply:
Dunkirk, N. Y., Sept. 5, 1916.)
Mr| H. C. Earles,
/X
■pPenn Yan Democrat,
I Penn Yan, N. Y.
Dear Sir :
We have been mixing chlorine in our
water supply at the municipal plant for
nearly two years. When it was first
tried there was an epidemic of typhoid
fever under way here and things were
J beginning to look very serious. After
the use of chlorine was started the out
burst was checked and quickly wiped
out-altogether. Since then there have
not been over three or four cases of
typhoid fever in Dunkirk. ,
“Cramer Bros. Cider Company i8t:
th 6 name of a new concern that will
soon be doing business in Penn Yan.
The large building on Sheppard street
formerly used by Thomas Pearce for
storage purposes will be used. An
addition is now being made to the
building.
The machinery will be
installed at once. Vinegar will be the
principal output at the start* and if will
be put on the market bottled. Fruit
preserves will be added later. The
company will consist of John B. Cramer
and Robert M. Cramer and it is their
intention to establish a business that
will grow rapidly and soon become a
valuable addition to Penn Yan’s in

George Bullock, of Penn Yan, has
purchased of the H allett Company, the
grape juice business heretofore carried
on in the building at the south end of
Liberty street bridge, and will continue
the manufacture of grape juice under
the firm name of the George E. Bullock

Has Held Public Office Many Years.
Alfred Lockyer, | better known as i
“A,lf," has held a, public office in Yates [
county for almost sixty years, and j
ranks among the oldest tax collectors I
in the state. It is safe to say t h a t :
he has served the county longer than
any other liying man. Mr. Lockyer j
was bom in Penn Yan almost 84 years |
ago in a house near where the Baptist
church now stands. When but eigh
teen years old he was named road
commissioner in the town of Benton.
The title of path master was then ap
plied to this office. At the time he
was the. youngest road commissioner
in the state/l it being customary to 6
name only those who were voters. In!
addition to being road commissioner i
in Benton, before he was legally en-{
titled to the office, he has been road \
commissioner in Penn ' Yan three I
terms, village assessor twelve years, j
village tax collector two terms, school f
tax collector five 'terms, besides hold- j
ing many other positions of trust. Al- j
though nearing four-sqore and four j
years, Mr. Lockyer is in the best of
health, and will no doubt continue to ■
hold some office of trust.

Sisters to Have Lewis Building for a
Home.
1 ,2 .
The large, square building at the- rear
of St. Michael’s Church is to be moved
across Keuka Street and converted into
a home for the Sisters who are teach
ing in the Parochial School, that the
present school building, which is now
also the home of the Sisters, may be
devoted entirely to school purposes.
The building has a somewhat inter
esting history. I t was built about 40
years ago by Leon Lewis as a stable for
his fine team of horses, and cost about
$10,000. The finishings of the building
are walnut and mahogany. Mr. Lewis
andnSis~wiTe, whO was'IT'Misa ’B ryan,
colaborated several years in writing
thrilling stories for Robert Bonner’s
New York Ledger, for which, it is said,
they received large compensation. For
some time they lived secludedly in the
home of Mrs. Lewis’s parents on Elm
Street. Later they purchased the prop
erty now owned by St. Michael’s
Church. Shortly before his somewhat
sudden departure from Penn Yan
Mr. Lewis commenced the publication
of a weekly called the “ Penn Yan
Mystery.” The type for the paper was
set, under the supervision of the late
Newton B. Spencer, in the second
story of the stable and was printed on
the presses of the Penn Yan Democrat
arid the Yates County Chronicle. There
were but two or three issues of the
paper, which was mainly devoted to
stories and the great railroad scheme
for connecting the United States with
South America. Mr. Bonner held a
mortgage on all the property Mr. Lewis
left, and it was subsequently sold to
John Lewis, who afterwards occupied
it several years. Later it was pur
chased by St. Michael’s Church.

horse chestnut tree in the north sec
tion of the lawn of the Penn Yan resi

of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
This tree, the first horse chestnut to
bq planted in Penn Yan, was set out
in 1846 by the late Ebenezer B. Jones
when he purchased this property and
built the house. It is estimated that
the tree will yield ten full cords of
wood.

'A utom atically. C apacity
O v er 2 ,0 0 0 Tons.
The large steel tank recently erect
ed at the Lake Keuka Fruit Sales Co.’s
®i coal yard is proving to he a great suc
cess. The tank is constructed of
IHj steel standing on a concrete founda
tion ten. feet high, is thirty-eight feet
in diameter and thirty-five feet high
to the edge of the roof, having six di
visions for the different kinds of coal,
w hich; run from the center, in the
same shape as a pie cut in six pieces.
A superstructure around it extends
eighteen feet upon the tank and
fills the. entire square from the barn
to the storehouse. A conveyor is
used which connects a steel hopper
under the track with the tank and
unloads the cars of coal at the rate
of fifty tons per hour. The capacity
of the tank is between 2,000 and
3,000 tons. The entire machinery is I
operated by electricity, requiring the f
service of but one man. The coal
works down into the bins through
ladders, known to coalmen as zig

J. Lorimer Ogden, son of Mordecai
and Mary Brown Ogden, was born Feb
ruary 17, 1835, on the farm immediately
west of the County Farm, now owned
by John Thompson. His ancestry on
both sides ran back to the pioneers in
this county and through them to early
settlers in this country from England,
where the Ogden name has been traced
back to the obscurity of the fifteenth
century.
When he was about four years old
his father and mother removed to Elmi
ra, where the family resided till his
father died in 1847. Soon after this
event his mother moved to Penn Yan,
where Mr. Ogden has since resided, first
in Maiden Lane and from the year 1852
at “ Lormont,” his late home on South
Avenue.
In this stately old house, built by
his uncle, Alfred Brown, he lived for
sixty-four years haying spent all h s
active life in Yates County. In early
years he learned land surveying from
Mr. Brown, and from 1859 until last
year engaged actively in surveying
farms and disputed lines throughout
the county. During the height of
grape planting on Bluff Point he was
engaged for one hundred consecutive
days.
Having spent the greater portion of
his life in this section, Mr. Ogden was
well acquainted with its men and af
fairs. On the organization of the Cit
izens Bank in 1899, he was elected vicepresident, which position he was com
pelled to resign on account of declin
ing health, in 1910.
He was thoroughly interested in all
local reforms, and used his influence to
better conditions in the community.
At the time of the erection of the
present Methodist church edifice he was
on the board of trustees and was ac
tively engaged in securing the building.
He was also trustee of the village.
The local history of the county
greatly interested him, particularly that
which dealt with the customs and habits
of the Indians who dwelt in this land
once an unbroken forest. At his home,
“ Lormont,” he gradually gathered what
is considered one of the finest collec
tions of Indian stone relics in this part
of the State and which collectors .have
come many miles to see.
At his death on October 3, 1916, he
was survived by Minnie G. Patteson,
of New York City, daughter by his
first wife, Florene W Ogden, and son,
L. Gerome Ogden, both of Penn Yan;
and by his sister, Mrs. Louise Ogden
Mallory, of Orlando, Fla. His name is
perpetuated by his grandson G. Lori
mer Ogden.

His Host Forty-five tears Ago.
Charles S. Pattesor, of New York
eity, formerly of Penn Yan, founder
and, for a time, publisher of Newspaperdom, is in town to-day renewing
his acquaintance, with old friends,
among them Frank R. Durry, whose
hospitality he accepted, under tragic
circumstances forty-five years ago this
month, when the most devastating fire
the United States has ever experienced
nearly destroyed the city of Chicago.
! '“A hoter on ih tis fith side or the ©
I in which the Patteson family was liv
ing was entirely destroyed and they
I barely escaped with their lives. In
/desperation, the father, mother, Char
ities, 10 years old, and Robert, 4, now
|comptroller of Westchester County,
|started to find a place to stay. They
were strangers in the city and the only
person they knew, who lived in a part
of *the city , untouched by fire, was
Frank Durry, of Penn Yan, a young
I man of 20, who had just" taken a
position in a bank on the west side.
The long search was finally successful.
Mr. Durry was found and shelter and
refuge were given the family in the
bank for the night. —Penn Yan-Cor
respondent Rochester ' Democrat.
—Mr. Charles S.= Patteson, formerly
connected with newspaper work in 1
Penn Yan, is now in great demand by
the publishers of large daily papers for
consultation in relation to the various
problems which often confront the pub
lisher. Mr. Patteson is an expert in
matters of that kind, and gives special
attention to the advertising field, which
has been developed! very rapidly the
past decade. He came to Penn Yan last
week on account of the death of his
wife's father, Mr. J. Lorimer Ogden.
He had but recently finished engage
ments with the leading newspapers in
Philadelphia and Baltimore. His work
has taken him from New York to the
Pacific several times. On one trip he
worked in forty large cities ana confered with more than two thousand
leading retail merchants concerning
their publicity plans. A few years ago
Mr. Patteson was in the employ of the
N. W. Ayer & Son advertising agency,
in Philadelphia, as an auditor of news
paper circulation and an expert in other
things pertaining to advertising. The
senior Mr. Ayer was a Baptist minister
who, with his wife, conducted a young
ladies’ academy in Penn Yan in the
fifties. Mr. Patteson’s mother attended
the school. The Ayer agency is now
one of the largest businesses of the
kind in operation.
Planning for New Paper M ill.
If the plans of Charles G. Moore ma
ture there will be a new industry in
Penn Yan, which will give employ
ment to a number of paper makers.
Mr. Mtoore, who is secretary of the
Corrigated Container Company, of
Buffalo, recently
purchased thej
Shutts Mill on the outlet which, had
been in operation by the English I
Fibre board Company of Elmira un- j
til closed down some months ago
j
has also purchased the Dibble spoke
factory site1and hopes to erect a small
plant on the site where he will con
vert the energy from the water fall j
; into electrical energy to help operate ;
his paper mill. At the Shutts Mill
he will have an exceptionally good i
supply of water power, the dam being
considered one of the best on the out- !
let. Mr. Moore is now repairing thej
dam and hopes to have his plant in
running order by January 1st.

Thousand Tons of Ice in
Building.
Carload
Grapes Injured.
It was about seventeen minutes
after the big ice house on the state
road between Penn Yan and Keuka
Park, owned by the Keuka Ice Co.,
was discovered on fire Monday after
noon, that the structure was burned
to the ground, causing a loss of $10,060 with $6,000 insurance on the
building and $1,500 on the contents.
The contents included about 10 to 12
thousand tons of ice, an electric mo
tor, a boiler and other equipment
necessary to fill the house with ice,
the capacity of which was 40,000 tons.
Miss Purdy, who lives on the lake
W
road some distance south of the ice
house, saw the blaze first and called
the local Bell exchange, when the
Penn Yan firemen were ealled. The
neighbors in the vicinity of the ice
house formed a bucket brigade and
saved the cottages on the lake shore
Eg: which caught fire. When the blaze
was getting beyond control of the
«P- bucket firemen the firemen arrived
with their truck and strung a line
of hose from the municipal pump ’sta
tion and saved the summer homes.
The E. B. Bordwell cottage just in
the rear of the ice house was dam
aged to the extent of several hundred
dollars. The adjoining cottage owned
by C. T. Birkett, of New York, was
damaged $200 while thp L. P. Thomp,son cottage had a hole burned through
the roof.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but it is supposed some one dropped
a lighted match or cigar on the pile
of straw and rubbish at the rear of
the house which could not be seen
from the highway and the summer
homes wore vacant. Whdn Miss Pur
dy saw the fire it was flaming high
above the rear of the building.
A car of grapes on the siding close
to the burning building was damaged
by water and smoke, while the ear
itsqlf will need a new side and roof. ]

were worth $450. As he Wad released I

Fixerypue-kno we that the present fire
house sets back from the street front by
something like 6 feet, between the
Kuapp and Cramer buildings, and the
taxpayers of the village should im
mediately take steps to provide for a
new front, made flush with these other
buildings, and with large dduble doors
so that the trucks could stand side by
side, and give ample opportunity for a
quick getaway. •
A basement should also be put under
this building and the present heating
plant moved to the basement, so as to
offer a greater space in the engine
room.
At the present time, the Ellsworth
Hose and Hunter Hose occupy the sec
ond floor for their meeting rooms, and
the H ydrant House are housed in the
Municipal Bldg. These should all be
under one roof and provision should be
made to give the Hydrants a room on
the third floor by putting a third story
on this buiding which would provide
ample space for the Trustees’ rooms
and Chief of Police headquarters, and,
in this way, eliminate a part of the ex
pense for these rooms in their present
location.
I t has been estimated that to make
the necessary changes would involve a
possible expense of between $3000 and
$4000, and the saving in rent would off
set the interest to this extent, so that
the taxpayers would eventually absorb
the total initial expense in this year’s
budget, and I feel that, the fire depart
ment heads should give publicity to
this matter and have estimates made
for the changes and submit this for the
consideration of the taxpayers at the
next time for voting.

turned to Rochester to be assistant at I
St. Bridget’s church to Father T. A.
Hendrick, who afterward became
Bishop of the Philippines; from St.
Bridget’s he was assigned to his first
work as rector at St. Columba’s church
in Caledonia, and on August 9, 1903,
Bishop McQuaid sent him to St. Mich
ael’s church here to succeed Father
Kavanaugh, who had been advanced to
St. Bridget’s church in Rochester.
Father Gommenginger has been unus
ually fortunate in his assignments as
assistant, having been associated with
such priests of high ability as Father
Hendrick, who as said above became
a bishop, and Father Hickey of Holy
Family, Auburn, a former pastor of St.
Michael’s, this village, and now head of
the Auburn deanery.

Accident.

Last Friday night William Carlyle
or Vail, son of Mr, and Mr. William /’T.
ladl Vail, of Branchport, attempted* to
thsjr catch a ridfe on the freight motor of the
iats|i Penn Yan and Lake Shore Railroad,
[ans(i near the Purdy place, and was so badly
for : crushed that he died a few hours later
in the Hatmaker Hospital. The young
t|
man was a student at Cornell and came
home to spend Spnday, His parents
were not expecting him. Arriving in Per n
Yan on the evening New York Central
train Mr. Vail found that there was no
later trolley for Branchport, so he
I
started to walk home."
When near the Purdy place the
freight motor overtook him. The
motorman, seeing that Mr. Vail was
preparing to try to climb on, called to
him not to,try it. The conductor open
ed the-doopon the side of the motor-and
saw the young man hanging on. He
[was dragged some distance. His left
lleg was broken in two places, and his
right leg was terribly crushed, His j
face, hands and body were bruised and
.cut. *
The young man was taken into the
{Purdy home and Drs. Cox and Conley,
,of Penn Yan, and Dr. Costello, of
Branchport, were soon doing' all that
^^^Jficould be done Tor him. He was taken

At a special meeting of the village
trustees Monday night it was decided to
go ahead with the proposed building
for the storage of tools on the property
in Elm street acquired from A. L. Bailey.
The clerk announced that the bonded
indebtedness of,, the village is now
$151,372, the sum of $16,344 having been
paid this year on bonds and interest.
Penn Yan’s quota in the last Liberty
Bond sale was placed too high. We do
not know the exact method used in
determining the quota of different lo
calities, but when the Penn Yan district
is called on for $27,500 more than Corn
ing, and $166,506 more than is asked of
Schuyler county, there appears to be
inequality in the apportionment. The
Penn Yan committee did nobly in secur
ing $404,600 in subscriptions to the
second Liberty Loan. The secretary,
Mr. E. J. Walker, Jr., put a lot of
energy into the campaign, and devoted
a great amount of work to it, The
other members of the committee did
their part well, and are all to be con
gratulated on the very fine showing
made. The people of Yates county are
now alive’ to the necessity of giving
enthusiastic support" to the govern
ment’s measures to finance the war.
Meade —In Penn Yan, November 3,
1917, James Meade, aged 59 years.
Ha had been engaged in the manu
facture of cigars in Penn Yan for thir
ty-eight years, and only gave up bus

Yates Breaks Three Records in Eleo
Passing of the Halsey.
Editor of the Chronicle:
Those who remember the service of
this boat when operated by the
Crooked Lake Navigation Company
will' learn with deep regret of her
untimely end.
She sank last winter while lying at
her dock a t - Hammondsport, and ac
cording to report, lies there in -deep
water, and1no effort made to ; salvage
her fine engine. Those familiar with
the engine and competent to judge,
Say that with an expense of a few
hundred dollars it would have been
practically as good as new. That it is
the best type of engine for our lake
does not admit of argument.
In view of present navigation facili
ties, some facts regarding the Halsey
may be of interest. Regular trips be
gan June 14, 1887, and her last-trip
under above management was Decem
ber 14, 1891. During these five sea
sons, and always making two round
trips per day during July and August,
she never missed a, trip except on two
occasions from' breaks in her pillow
blocks. The number of regular land
ings made on each round trip during
July and August were' nineteen, or
thirty-eight each day, and sometimes
forty landings. It was .remarkable
that the train connections at both
Penn Yan and Hammondsport were
rarely missed: Her crew was as fol
lows: Captain, Oscar Morse; engineer,
Frank Morse; pilot, Frank Conklin;
fireman, Taylod Dunn; deck, Edward
Lynch. Mr. Lynch afterwards was
promoted to captaincy of the Holmes,
and filled the position with fidelity
and efficiency. Other employees, at
different times were Elam Dunn7 Ern
est Chapman, Dyer Royce A. J.
Warner apd T. Dunn. All were compe
tent boatmen and filled the various
positions in an entirely acceptable
manner. ■
The record of passengers carried on
this one boat, compared With that of
more recent years; seems almost Un
believable. The largest number carried
in one day was on .July 4, 1888, when
it was 2,306, and for the week of
August 25, 1888, was 7,109, and the
largest . year’s record was for 1890,
when the number was 116,013.
xX
Total number carried for the five
years, paying passengers only, was
546,407 for this one steamer, all at 10
cents each. It is interesting to note
that with this great number of people
carried, not one received any injury
whatever. Landings were not allowed
/until the steamer was ' made fast, and
' the gang plank safely placed, although
such skillful pilots as Captain1Morse,
■Frank Morse, Frank Conklin and Wil
liam Conklin could often bring the
boats up so that a line or gang plank
seemed unnecessary.
Since 1891 business on ..the lake has
steadily declined until it is now' back
to where it was before the Crooked
Lake Navigation Company was organ
ized. This is due to several causes,
but there is no doubt that with ohe- 1
such boat as the Halsey, or Holmes,
with an efficient.crew, ana;with a rea
sonable effort to accommodate, the
business could be doubled several
times over.

Complete figures from’the late elec

county gained three records in this
year’s voting. In proportion to the
vote cast it gave the largest Republi

B uilt in 1 8 8 3 for Branchport- Penn Y an Trips. —

gers in 1SS9,
Editor of the 'Chronicle:
Having written what might be called
the “obituary” of the Steamer Halsey,
we have been urged to write a brief
resume of the smaller boat, the
West Branch.
She was originally intended for ser
vice between Branchport and Penn
Yan, but at times she was used on the
main line. That part of the lake be
tween Nichols landing and Branchport
had never had any boat service, and
has had none since the withdrawal of
this boat. During the summer, con
nections were made at Gibson’s for
jboth Penn Yan and Hamomndsport, so
that passengers could go and come
from either place the same day, having
several hours at destination. In ad
dition to that, every private dock be
tween Branchport and Penn Yan had
daily service going and coming.
The boat began regular trips Au
gust 22d, 1883, and made her last one
under the management of the Crooked
Lake Navigation Company January
20th, 1892. Passengers carried the
first season, a short one, numbered
5,886. The largest number carried in
one day was July 31st, 1890, amount
ing to 335; the largest week’s record
was August 23d, 1890, amounting to
1,529, and the largest number in any
one season was in 1889, with a total of
16,179. For the entire nine seasons a
total of 94,634 paying passengers
were carried. This number, -while
much smaller than the record of the
larger steamers, is quite as remark
able.
Sunken logs in the channel at Penn
Yan occasioned a great deal of trou
ble, as they were often struck by the
wheel, necessitating hauling the boat
out for. repairs, and losing trips.
Every season Superintendent Knapp
had a force at work getting the logs
and stumps out, and after a time the
channel was cleared. Very few knew
of this laborious work, quietly and
êffectively done.
The officers of the West Branch }
were as follows: Captain, I. V. Warn-1
er; pilot, G. Stone; deck, Ora Warner; j
fireman, William Race. Other em-;
ployees at different times and as cir-j
cumstances required were J. Sander-(
son, Frank Conklin, Dyer Royce, W. j
Stone, G. Moore, A. J. Dunn, C. Kin-j
ney, Ernest Chapman and R. Lamont.
All were good and efficient boatmen.
Captain Warner and family and Ora!
Warner are well remembered in
Branchport, where they formerly re
sided. They were ;people of sterling
integrity, aird had the confidence and}
respect of everybody. To the company}
their services were performed xyith;
unfailing fidelity, and they were i
among its most loyal employees.
The three steamers of the Crooked
Lake Navigation Company,
the
Holmes, Halsey and West Branch,
were all built by the veteran boat
builder, A. W. Springstead, of Geneva,
N. Y. They were well built, properly
planned and successful in operation.
After the death of Superintendent
Knapp, our well known and publicspirited citizen, William N. Wise, was
appointed, and filled the position with
his accustomed efficiency until the
company retired from business. H.

Traffic Officer Case W. Blodgett.
Thousands of motorists will recog
nize in the above picture Case W.
Blodgett, for years Penn Yan’s populartraffic officer. The semiphore, which
he guards, he has found to be of great
assistance to him in directing travel.
On sunny days the big umbrella pro
tects him from the heat, and when he
is weary he can lean against it., He
recently lost two buttons from his top
coat, and it was torn when he rescued
a heedless woman with a baby car
riage from being run over by a motor
car. The Village Trustees have ordered
him a new coat, which he expects to
be wearing soon.
,
On several occasions his “ indicator
has shown that over 2,000 vehicles
have passed during his working day.

is extremely kind and obliging to

U p to the time the above was printed the w ord CLOSING had not been men

to whether the w ord FUEL was intended to include anything but coal. But a
telegram just received seems to settle both matters. It reads “ Closing order
applies to plants burning wood and all kinds of fuel. Retail Stores must close
Mondays.” Business places using City Steam should shut off all radiators not
absolutely necessary to prevent freezing.

FOOD ADMINISTRATOR.
Albert T. Beardslee, of Penn Yan,
has been appointed food administrator
for Yates county. The notification came
to him last Friday in a telegram from
John Mitchell, chairman of the state
commission. Mr. Beardslee’s work
will be under the direction of Charles
Treman, of Ithaca.
Mr. Beardslee has not had time to
familiarize himself with the duties of
the position, but he is prepared to take
hold of the work with enthusiasm and
render all of the aid possible in the
movement to conserve food.
Mr. Beardslee is 39 years old, a grad
u a te of Starkey Seminary. He lived
! in the town of Starkey until three
years ago, when he moved to Penn Yan.
He has large farming interests and
is known as an intelligent student of
social and economic problems.
Home Guards Inspected.
The Penn Yan Company, New York
Guard, was inspected at the armory on
Monday evening by Major A. B. Con
over, of Hornell, commander of the
3d Battalion, 4th Infantry, N. Y. G.
The company was out in almost full
force, despite only a few hours’ notice,
and after himself drilling the com
pany and examining candidates for
officers, who also took their turns at
drilling, Major Conover expressed his
entire satisfaction and commended the
company and its captain, W. Eugene
1DeMelt. As soon as the armory is
ready the rifles will "he recived, the

Ex-Congressman Steven B. Ayres, of
New York City, brought these gentle

they would probably invest in citrus

Anyone who visits the factory of
the Rochester Shoe Company, Penn
Yan, is in for a big surprise as well
as a feeling of pride that a plant so
well organized, whose output is so
well known and in such demand all
over the United States and even in
South America, has its origin and
development right in this village. Of
course, while it is generally known
th a t such a plant is located in Penn
Yan and th at it m anufactures some
! kind of shoe, how many know that it
m anufactures only a high and exclu
s i v e grade of women’s shoes th at re
tail as high as $15 and $16 a pair;
th at it turns out 1,300 pairs a week,
! with orders ahead for 5,200 p a irs;
Vth at it now has in its employ 107 men
[and women, most of them skilled,
many of them experts, recruited from
Rochester, Brooklyn, Lynn and other
shoe manufacturing centers; th at it
has eight traveling salesmen repre
senting it in Buenos Aires, Peru, Cali
fornia, the Midde W est, the South,
and offices in New York, Chicago,
Rochester, Boston, etc.; th at the Penn
. Yan plant is soon to be enlarged to
double its present capacity, all in
leather, brown cloth and brown patent
leath er,‘castor, white or brown cloth
and black patent leather. There are
models in “Tony’ or reddish ’calf,1f
brown buckskin, in khaki calf skin, i
in the new beaver brown, pearl g rey ,1[
black, w hite,, high boots and oxfords, H
besides sport and evening shoes. One !|
oxford just finished for Easter com-'t
bines pearl grey kid vamp and foxing ;
with white kid top,
One storeroom contains hundreds
of kid skins in various shades, if
bundles of leathers and rolls of cloth
for tops. There is at present $45,000
worth of unused stock in the factory,
exclusive of orders already finished or
in process of making. Kid skins cost
$1 a foot, average four feet to a skin,
and each skin will make one pair, of
sho6s.
In the fitting room where linings
and outsides are adjusted, the cutting
room where the different parts are
cut from patterns, the lasting, sewing,
levelling, wooden heel and leather
heel rooms, the finishing and packing
rooms, there is m anifest system, ac
curacy and efficiency.

Penn Yah Village Election.
The Penn Yan village election held
Tuesday was not very exciting be
cause there was hut one set of can
didates for village officers The con
test was over the two propositions
submitted.
More interest than usual was cen
tered in this election because for the
first women were permitted to vote
for village officers. Women who are
taxpayers for years have voted on
propositions involving the expending
of money.

Only the Intelligent make sacrifices,
Let us do all we can for our Country
and Cotinty and the boys we love, who are
fighting and dying for Liberty, Home and
f-Democracy.
Si•inoerely ypurs,
G ilb e rt H . B a re r,
President Yates County
War Cheat Association,
Judge Baker’s Appeal for Aid for
the War Chest.
The Hon. Gilbert H. Baker, 1st President
of the Yates County War Chest Assn., has
addressed a very vigorous appeal to the
people of the county to place Yates County
upon the map in its War Relief Work.
To the people of Yates County:
After much counsel and advice, you have
formed an Association for the purpose of
financing the auxilliary war work of the
County. We want every adult and every
child to become a member of this Associa
tion. Such membership is secured by pay
ing the minimum weekly dues. ‘
Next to the names of our boys who wear
the khaki will be in honor the names of
the members of this Association. This
honor roll will be preserved in the aohives
of our country, not only that the present,
but that the future generations may know
of our patriotic service. Yes, and that it
may be know who have failed.
The~ funds expended will be for Red
Cross, Y. M. C. A., Knights of Columbus
and other efforts to assuage the conditions
of Army Life and suffering.
During the week of March 24, your j
neighbors who have volunteered for the
service will call and give you an opportun
ity to serve your country and will explain
to you the details of the work. I would
urge you not to wait for your neighbor to
hunt you out, but that you go to him, that
you may not be overlooked. What you
give, more than what you say, proves your
patriotism.
In mo other way can you so well express
your wish for our boys “over there” than
by doing something for their moral and
physical needs.
T1he minimum weekly payment has been
placed so low that no one in this county,
excepting possibly the sick, is too poor to
give that amount to alleviate the sufferings
of our boys in “Hero Land.”
Those who are well to do should be hon
est with themselves, as well as this great
Government of free people, which has fos
tered their prosperity, and give until their
sacrifice is as great as the mite of the least
fortunate.
If we have any who are selfish, even they
can give to this cause without violating
their selfishness for their gift, after all, does
no one so much good as it will bring to
themselves.

The Chronicle last week made a
brief mention of the serious injury to
Frank C> Sutherland, of Hall. He died
iit the Geneva Hospital about mid {
night Tuesday.
I He was driving his team on the
j state road near his farm near Hall
with .a load of feed and phosphate.
The .horses shied at the Penn YanGenOya auto bus. The end board
gave way In front, and in some man
ner Mr. Sutherland and a little boy
riding with him were thrown out
between the houses . and wagon. The
boy landed astride the wagon pole
and was uninjured, but Mr. Suther
land was severely, cut and bruised on
his face a id body, one rib broken and
internal injuries, which caused hs
death, It is believed' one or more
bags of phosphate fell on him, beisdes he was dragged over the state
road some5distance.
Dr. Robfcon, of Hall, was called and
gave an examination, and the Geneva
ambulance called, and he was rushed
to the Geneva Hospital, where he
passed away. The accident occurred
about noon. Immediately after his
death the remains were taken to
Penn Yan.
Mr. Sutherland was born on July
21, 1868. He is survived by his wife,
Mrs. Ella Barden Sutherland, and lit
tle ,adopted daughter, Frances, of
Penn Yan, and two brothers, Marvin,
of Gorham, and George, of Hall.
The funeral was held from the
home in p en n Yan Friday afternoon,
with burial in Gorham cemetery, j
Mr. Sutherland was a man with
many friends and will be greatly
missed.

THE N. Y. STATE GUARD.
Penn Yan Now Has a Company In
stead of a Platoon.
Lieutenant W. E. DeMelt received
wordfl|Wednesday, from the New York
!State Adjutant General’s office, an
nouncing the promotion of the Penn
Yan unit of the state guard from a
platoon to a company.
Up to the
present time the Penn Yan contingent
was Platoon C and attached to Com
pany C, of Corning.. Now Penn Yap
has Co. O, in command of Captain W.
E. DeMelt, who has recommended
Oliver L .W arner for 1st lieutenant;
and Thomas Sorensen for second lieu
tenant.
The change is due largely to the atti
tude of the people here towards th e guard. Inspectors who have visited
Penn Yan reported that, the financial
support given the guard here, and the
good words spoken for it by people
generally,- made it desirable to make ji
this a company headquarters.
.We congratulate Captain DeMelt and j,
his men. ^ :■■/7 y ZZ•

D R . JO S E P H T. COX
Dr. Joseph T. Cox died at his home
oil Jacob street, in Penn Yan ,Thu-rs- j
day, October 24, 1918. He had been ill
I about ten days. Death resulted from
j pneumonia, and a complication of other
troubles. His heart was not strong/
enough to stand the strain, and he
Ipassed away, a martyr to duty.
| On October 11th, Dr. Cox as village
health officer, <directed the closing of
public places in Penn Yan, and forbade j
public funerals or assemblies of per- ;
sons, in order to prevent the influenza
from getting such a start here as it had;
in many neighboring places. The work
and Worry bf the situation broke Dr.
Cox down a few day£ later and he was j
compelled to go to bed. His death has i
.saddened the whole - community. Dr.
Cox was a man of very pleasing per
sonality and lie- Ijad been prominent
in social affairs. He was an enthusi-i
astic yachtman, and sailed in most of
the races between the Class A boats]
ph on Lake Keuka, since coming to Penn!
cal Yah to live.
ph Dr. Cox was born in Rochester 52
*ei
Ba years ago, and had lived in Penn Yan'!
t€ Itwenty-two years. He leaves his wife; ]
'Of? and one sister Ella, in Rochester. He j
ca/ belonged to the Masonic order, and was !
an honorary member of the Ellsworth ]
M
o f Hose Company. The funeral arrange
Mr ments had not been made when this j

sf Dear Father: Daily bulletin—4n good
^health and excellent spirits physically*
mentally and morally, but not finanncially. Last night I got the men tot-gether and talked to them about Lib
erty Bonds. I gave them quite an ar
gument and ended by saying I would
take one $50 bond for every nine they!
took. They promptly invested to the
amount Of $4,550, which lets me in
for $450 worth. They say, ‘‘give until
it hurts.” It will hurt all right, but |
I guess I can shut down in a number
of ways and the more I think of it
the more ,determined I am to do it,
if it takes a leg.
I have pnly 71 men now, of whom
22 are getting less than $12.50 a
month, after their insurance and al-'
lotments are paid, and they cannot
buy any bonds in this fourth loan. So
it leaves an average of nearly a hun
dred dollars a man for those who
could buy, and again my company
cgjnes to the front with a record ahead
of any other in camp.
Sincerely yours,

to use the basement of the Masonic

was directed to make arrangements

A
day the clerk encountered so much op
position to the plan of locating a hos
pital there- that nothing was done, and
Monday night the Bos§iijd of T’rustees
disapproved of their.’f action as a
board of health, and the whole scheme
was abandoned. It would seem as if
the best solution of the situation would
be to provide for the opening of the
hospital on East Main street? under
competent management. While it is
not all that might be desired, it is the
best we have, and with, an expenditure
of a few hundred dollars can he rnade
very acceptable. As winter comes on
and roads get bad, the lack of a suffi
cient number of physicians here will
be keenly felt, and the need of a hos
pital will then be more fully realized
by the public generally. Four doctors
from Penn Yan are in military service
and two more are going? soon; several
from the country outside' of Penn Yan
have also been inducted into service.
So far as we know only one new doc
tor has come into the territory, so the
shortage is sure to be felt. ; /
The Life ol Mary Jemison.
Seaver’s Life of Mary Jemison,
“The White Woman of the Genesee,”
is the work of perennial interest, no
less than twenty editions having been
issued. The last of these* just pub
lished by the American Scenic and
Historic Preservation Society, was
edited and compiled by our honored
friend, Dr. Charles D. Vail, of Geneva,]
and is a most pretentious book as
compared with the first edition, a lit
tle book of 18/9 pages about the size of |
a postal card. This first edition h a s;
particular interest for people here-’
abouts, as it was printed in Canan-;
daigua and has come to be .exceeding- i
ly rare. The Ontario County Histori
cal Society is fortunate in possessing]
a copy of the valuable first edition, of j
•which not more than sixteen copiesj
are known to be in existence and [
which when recently offered at public
sale brought as high as $200.
Mary Jemison was bom of Irisii
parents a t sea in 1743. In 1758 she
was captured by the Indians near
Gettysburg, Pa.; adopted by the Sen
ecas on the Ohio; moved to the Gene
see in Western New York; married
-Indian husbands and had children;
lived among the Indians all her life;
and died at the age of 90. She is bur
ied in Letchworth Park, a beautiful
tract of 1,000 acres on the Genesee
river, which the late William Pryor
Letchworth gave to the State and
which is* in the custody of the Scenic
and Historic Preservation Society.

Penn Yan, like the m ost of our coun

receipt of the official intelligence th at
the great w ar had ended by the sur
render of Germany in signing the [ ar
mistice term|B demanded by the Su
preme W ar Council.
■ - :. '
The news came early Monday morn
ing and was heralded as had been pro
vided by a previously appointed com
m ittee of our patriotic citizens and pro]
mulgated through hand bills.
The bells rang, whistles blew, flags
waved, bonfires blazed, etc.
About
every conceivable thing th at would
make a noise was .requisitioned, and
they were beaten and blown tumultu- j
ously all day long, and .fa r into th e'

In the morning, about 6 o’clock,
speeches were made by Revs. Boyd and
Gommenginger, Edson Potter, Orville

Star Spangled Banner.
Substantially all business places
were closed.
The wild rejoicing culminated in the
evening with a monster parade of or

cifully costumed and bearing banners
of various devices, which w>s about
half a mile long, and a fine pyrotechnical display. There was an immense
crowd of on-lookers, gathered from

All along the line of march the

co-operation that has been manifesti ed by all of the officers of the Chapter,
Branches and Auxiliaries of the organ

i j making possible the achievements of
? the year, without which the results

; i To pass without notice the distmc, | tive service of certain of pur faithful
]j workers would seem unjust. With a
i view of measurably recognizing their
;8 achievements, I wish to especially
11 commend Mrs. E. L. Horton, our vice|| chairman* for her unselfish devotion
; to the Chapter work without whose
untiring- labors, the splendid results
attained in the Chapter would have
| been impossible.
> Miss Ella. Miller, our supply chair11man, has earned the highest praise

Miss Elizabeth Fox and Mrs. A. T.

department have accomplished wonlers in the direction of faithful work
ers in their department in competent
ly discharging their work.
I am not unmindful of the compe
tent manner in which the Secretary,
Mrs. Rhoda H. Lee, has discharged
the duties of her office nor of the debt
we owe to Mr. Walter B. Tower, who
so successfully conducted our last
membership drive.

highly complimented on the splendid
/way in which the public has been kept
informed of the work at the Chapter

given freely of their time in bringing
to a successful close the activities of

of the gloriousz work done by the

DJEATH OF LIEUT. PHILIP ROSE.
' M&jbr John H. Rose, of “The Chest
nuts,” near Branchport, and for the
past year engaged in professional
work in the surgeon-geireral’s office
in Washington, has received news of
the death, in action, tm October 5th,
of his only son, P hilip' Livingston
Rose, who has been at the front since
August, 1917. Lieut. Rose was re
ported severely wounded in June,
1918, but wrote that he was about to
return to the front after five days in
the hospital from a gassing accident,
which had affected his eyes, and, as
he remarked, made him feel as if all
the gravel of the shores of Lake Keu
ka was under his eyelids.
He was a graduate of Yale, at the
age. of twenty-two, and though of a
sensitive arid somewhat retiring na
ture, was very ambitious and a favor
ite among his young companions, and
pushed' ahead in his educational
career, in the face of some handicaps
in severe illnesses. A member of the
Yale Glee Club, he took an enthusias
tic pleasure in it, and his letters'while
on a trip abroad with his father and
Mrs. Rose, showed a keen interest,
beyond his years, in. the places of
historical interest. Upon graduating,
he buckled down to work at an auto
mobile factory in New England, as an
electrician, and, as someone said, “be
gan to be a soldier” then.
He was in the Saint Mihiel engage
ment and in hard action and mud for
months past, and had been three
times recommended for promotion. A
picture of Lieut. Rose will appear
next week.
MRS. SARAH STEWART.
Mrs. Sarah Stewart died on Novem
ber 12th, at the Harriet Tubbs Home,
near Auburn, N. Y., where she had
been living for the past few months,
Mrs. Stewart was about 75 years of |
agw. - She was employed in the home I
of the late John S, Sheppard for over
forty years, until two years ago, when
her health broke down. Her husband,
who died at the age of 27, and her
only child, a girl, are buried in Lake
View Cemetery. Mrs. Stewart’s moth
er, Mrs. 2 Utl®r, hveti near the North'"]
era Central station until about thirty
years, ago, when she was taken to the)
John Sheppard home, where she died.
Mrs. Robert L. Denison, of Port-;
land, JVlaine, brought the body to th e ;
Dugan <& Schmoker undertaking .par-1
lorg“ where the funeral was held on;
Thursday afternoon at 3:30. Rev. |
L. S. Boyd, who officiated, told of
Mrs. Stewart’s beautiful Christian life
and of her loyalty to the dhurch, with
which she had united in 1883. Rev.
Mr. Fanveille, pastor of the colored
church of Auburn, and chaplain of the
Harriet Tubbs Home, spoke of Mrs?
Stewart’s life at the home. He said
that she was beloved and esteemed by
all. Mrs. Steêar t was well known
and highly regarded in Penn Yan.
ANDREWS-CONNERS.
The marriage of Edwin C. Andrews,
of Buffalo, formerly of Penn Yan, and
Mary Margaret Conners, daughter of
William Jv Conners, of Buffalo, was

the Buffalo Cathedral by the Rev.
Monsignor Nelson H. Baker, assisted
by the Rev. James F. McGloin, of the

TELEPHONES
CONSOLIDATE.
Penn Yan Will Be Changed to
Central Division.
Yesterday morning workmen be
gan tearing up a section of brick pave
ment on Main street in order to run
cables from the Bell Telephone Com
pany's conduit into the Arcade build
ing, where the two exchanges are
soon to be consolidated. The Bell has
leased the quartern heretofore, occu-J
pied by the Federal exchange, and f
some additional space on the Maiden
Lane side of the Arcade second floor, j
and eventually the two exchanges will j
be united there.
It will be some time before all the
changes are made, but in the end
Penn Yan will be a more important
center for telephone activities than
heretofore. In connection with the
physical changes in Penn Yan, there
are many problems to be worked out
in connecting up the rural lines, rriany
of which are now in bad shape; Dun
dee lines will be connected with the
Penn Yan exchange by cable and long
distance connections will be made
from here. Changes are also likely to
be made at Branchport which will af
fect the Keuka Park and Pulteney
lines, and make for better service.
About twenty-eight hundred ’phones
will b%. connected with the Penn Yan
exchange when the changes which are
contemplated are all made.
Penn Yan will be changed from the
Rochester to the Central division, the
headquarters of which are in Syra
cuse Albion will also be taken from
the Rochester division and placed in
the Buffalo division. A new company
to be known as the Rochester Tele
phone Company will be created to
Vpernte the Rochester District lines,
\hicb will comprise thirty-seven
jwiis between Syracuse and Buffalo.

The Penn Yan Preserving Prpducts
Co. is the name of the very newest of
our industries engaged in making
food products. The one great differ
ence between this factory and similar
institutions is that the Penn Yan fac
tory’s products taste like the home
made kinds. They are not running
true to form, as you might say, as
there is not the faintest suggestion of
the factory made product aBout any
thing they turn out. So far they haves
limited themselves to a few choice
formulaes, such as ginger pear, raisen
pear, and the daintiest and most deli
cious mince meat that ever made a
man pass his plate for a second help

either by accident or design indicates
that whatever they have in mind will]
be fully up to the high standard of ex
cellence, enjoyed by the other Penn
Yan manufacturers of food stuffs.
It is rumored, and so far the rumor:
has met with no very vehement denial,!
that therie is still another firm now engagd in the wine' business who will!
shortly enter the food producing game, j
There is no possible chance to overdo ]
the matter, as any one who has a food
product to sell, be it cheap or expen
sive, can find a market for it if he will]
only let the fact be known that he has j
something the public can 'use, and the j
trade papers are already predicting
much higher prices for canned goods
in 1918 than obtained in the year just
ending. So far, no one has complain
ed to the writer that they thought the
prices of 1918 were too low, and what I
will be the nature of their lament :
next year will be hard to tell.
The total value of the plants devoted j
to the manufacture - of food products I
in Pehn Yan will be pretty close to i f
million dollars ,and that is considered !
a very conservative estimate, while [
the value of the advertising to the vil

puted in dollars and cents. | The!
idiotic slogan adopted a few years ago
as emblematic of Penn Yan should be
also canned and one adopted in its
stead that really meant something,

man, woman and child can boost the

products the preference, always.

The biggest
undertaking
ever
launched in Yates county is fast tak
ing shape. Two weeks ago at a meet
ing in Penn Yan, a Memorial Hospi
tal Executive Campaign Committee
was formed for the purpose of setting
in motion the machinery necessary for
the raising of money with which to
build a hospital in honor of the men
5U | from Yates county who served in the
j war against Germany. John H. John
re® son, who presided at that meeting,
n said he wished the movement might
;h be organized at once so that Yates
ve county would have the distinction of
d( being the first county to accomplish
vM a work of this kind. His expressed
m wish seems to -have been realized as
L i ® the preliminary work is now well un
m p
way. \
if derTwo
years ago, .before this countryloijpj
I1 0Em entered the war, a proposal to raise
$150,000 for a county hospital would
11; have been looked upon as a wild dream
nl| • outside the realm of possibilities. Since
L pl then we have seen campaign after
rlyg campaign for war relief work suc
le iK cessfully conducted here.
While so
k t l many unusual demands upon the fam
n n s i ily poeketbooks have been somewhat
h d ir l burdensome the generous response of
kirn our people has been a wonderful reve
fe E lation to all.
\ Bd Now that the war is over, most of
Ibedj those calls will cease," and we are
I tte l about to be asked to show our appre- j
Imb] ciation of the sacrifices which have j
I i n been made by the 546 Yates county ]
1st, I young men who went to war. Of this j
[tea number 27 were called upon to give
Irk. j up their lives on the altar of liberty

k l j throughout the world,
bs 7 In order that everyone may have a
In ? part in this glorious achievement a plan
b p il similar to that of the War Chest has
Let! been adopted. The payinent of pledgto | es may be extended over a period of
mea two years.
L Z A Memorial Hospital cannot be
I C l built with the contributions of a few
koij people. While there are likely to be
lir | a number who will subscribe quite
br.l large sums, the goal can only be reachkffq ed by a willing co-operation on the
thej part of the people of the county genIfati erally. Every town in the county sent
nos. some of its young men into the army;'

Mr. and Mrs. Roger E. GhapmarJ&ff*
Penn Yan, w ill sail for London, r‘ ng.,
on the Steamer Lapland, April 6 th,
Mr. Chapman having been app<( a t e l
American vice-consul at London. H is
selection for this important post is a
great honor, and the old home CvwA*
is proud of him.
During the war Mr. Chapman en
listed in the Judge Advocate General’s
office/ for overseas service. He was
assigned temporarily to the; Bureau of
Appraisers in the New York City office.
This department appraised the value
of -all property taken over by the gov
ernment. Mr, Chapman was next in
line for overseas when the arm istice
was signed.
Had that occurred a
week later he would have been on the
ocean. He was released from seryidb
about the middle of February.
Mr. Chapman made application for
a consulate to one of the South Amer
ican,- countries:. He has been put
through all kinds of examinations a n d .
tests. He was advised to take a vice-;
consulate first, and was assured [that
as soonXas he had sufficient tra ilin g )
in that position he would be advanced.
TJnder the guidance of .Consul-General
Skinner, at London, it w ill not; bqj
many months before Mr. Chapman
w ill be prepared for, the more respon
sible duties of Consul.
London has always been one of the j
mOft. important emhassadorial posts ;
to. which this country sent representatives, and. Mr. Chapman is most for
tunate to be assigned there .1 The al
lowance for necesi&ry expenses w ill be
more liberal after July 1st than ever
before, which means that the y ic e - ,
consul’s family AyRl, liyp in the lap of
luxury. . -
