The thud of fallln* timber, tha hum of the «« and «»>e cracklna sounds of the ax wielded in the hands of * reciters, are the first demonstration of demolition proceedlngs on the site of the new hotel, corner Wildwood Avenue and Boardwalk. Work of tearine down the old bulldlnrs began this past week. v Extra shifu if men will be placed on duty as the time advances. The beginning

of a greater city U

X band. With

the completion of this new hostelry. opens a new chapter in events calculated to harness the wheels of progress to bigger and

belter business activities. Someone, somewhere, whisper-

ed the statrmeat. " Wildwood will ever be Wildwood." He was an old-fashioned man from an old-

lost in the mare of conjecture narrowed down to space. On the other hand a young man aat in a certain railway coach homeward bound after a lew days' visit to this resort. He was a stranger and. la n rent lews mood he touge-. to talk to his fellowrider. as across the aisle two peoplce cbnlted. covering a wellknown subject which finally attracted the Interest of the young man. He elbowed a position to the seat ahead of him. resting one arm against the fur collar of the woman passenger whose convemation had apparently interested him and naked: "What time should we arrive la Camden?" Whereupon the gentleman in the neat opposite, with drawn watch, promptly answered him and straightaway conversation which brought other views from other people of wider

Vision.

-you have a wonderful city." exclaimed the stranger, big changes for you In that a new people are coming to dwell among you who will reap of the benefits you so long have let slip by. It is astonkobing you do not appreciate land values and the greater poaaibllluet which are front in* you every new day If your contemplated new bank will open tb- doom to the publU In a public spirit of eo-operatloa 1 see a big future for you " Perhaps one at the Mxi'-w drawbacks la procuring prompt subscript tons to the bo.el fond was eucountured when it was found that the Wildwood bantu were not back of the project. Ar a matter ot fact the banka are a combined Interest back of the project manifested in ‘well wishes." but Kauelally alow to put tbe proper working energy into action. The force* of a prosperous city are those stimulated by capital Private capital must play a big part in r wldlng tbe foundations. It la only a matter of a few months, perhaps, when private capital will show here in propelling Everyone must know that the opening of tbe Philip Baker Hotel will be at once a - tawing card to tbe multitudes wh)M- eyee have been upon us for a m *w>n and will atari the opening - r a season's business such as we have oever seen nor expected.
