NEWS NOTES i OCCURRENCES HERE AND THERE , 1 lncideats Vkkk flare Attracted > tie Attention of tie j Star aid Wave r e The Hotel Reporter of Philadelphia « says: « Immediately after tbe first of tbe the Jeraey Coast begins to shape things up for the ensuing season. Each • seems to see a wonderful as well « varied improvement along (he coast, « and Oape May is sharing in this stride 11 of progress. i: Oape May has numerous advantages » from other resorts, and among h these is the fourgmillion dollar opera r tion at Cold Spring Inlet, the develop- h ment of several new land companies ii and me receut statement tbat a big automobile firm had purchased 320 of land for the purpose of build- ^ ing a factory and making a tract., c which may in time, make Oape May a a strong automobiling centre ; as tbe h resort is frequented by a class of people who can afford to keep these expensive luxuries. luxanes.

9 Tfie resort needs several other things in more of a mercantile line, and there , is already talk ol forming a company , to erect an ice plant, likewise to deal j in coal, as it is ilaimed that there is some disci imination and high prices on t these commodities in the resort at ( present. Cape May boasts of an exceptionally , high class of visitors and cottagers, . and it is the aim of the resort promoters to live up to this standard already, established. I (set. Newark Star : An important State improvement on , the sea coast, tbe interior waterway from Bay Head to Oape May, is now under wav aad when completed will be of vast benefit. With-only eighteen , miles of easy excavation this waterway can be connected from Bay Head with New York Bay and its arms, while the , waterway can also be extended to tbe Manasquan for a harbor entrance there from the ocean. This new water highway will create a large commerce, ^ cause tbe reclamation of thousands of t acres of land, develop a very large area of oyster lands, make new settlements, build up the summer resorts and attract thousands more people to the New Jersey sea coast. It will enrich the State. Unlike a land highway, | it will need little care,' few repairs and ! no renewal, for it has no wear and (• » (• t Tbe many frien(j£^toa of the Garty ! boys will be glad ttSfnow that they i are prospering. They are natives of ' Cape May and are usually among our summer visitors. The following ia from a recent issue of the Philadelphia Public Ledger : P. F. Kernan. a real Restate broker, haa sold for the estate of John Philbin, I deceased, the three story dwelling at j tbe northeast corner of Twentieth and | Locust streets, ,lot;i8 by 82 feet The i purchasers are J.J. and E. J. Garty, who paid $21,700 for the property. The assessed valuation is $20,000. The northwest corner of Twentieth and Locust streets, lot 18 by 80 feetwas sold about seven years ago by P. F. Kernan for $26,000. The tide on 20th street is to be torn out and three stores put in which will make four stores on the property. (• <• (• The May's Landing Board of Trade by unanimous vote passed a resolution that the chair appoint a committee of three to draft a petition to the Board of Freeholders urging the early construction of the May's Landing- 1 Tuckahoe road and that a copy of the petition be forwarded to Road Commissioner Gilkyson ; that the committee secure signers to the petition from May's Landing, Tuckahoe, Weymouth, Estelville, Dorothy, Risley and Milmay ; that the Secretary communicate the action to the Boards of Trade of Ocean City, Cape May and Wiidwood and urge their cooperation, also the various automobile clubs interested. The chair then appointed a committee , consisting of Messrs. McCormick, . Shaner and Eberhart to draft the petition and secure as many Bigners as possible. <t m Ct Tbe Ocean Boulevard bill was intro- ' duced by Senator Brown in tbe Senate ! this week.

tax ia levied at Atlantic City it is said. ® We.would advise the postponement of ^ it for.the present, however. 1 ^Before the open season for deer ' 8 comes in, the Legislature should pass 1 laws prohibiting hunting them with 1 hounds. Otherwise the deer which hake accumulated will be speed'ly ' slaughtered off by the markefhuntera. • If gunners are compelled to adopt the "still-hunt," the sport will be keener t . and more enjoyable and the deer will last. The use of hounds is not sports-man-like. i A six by eight plan# fell upon little f Stanley Lovett'a hand at Holly Beach ■ Saturday and crashed two of bis s fingers. It was quite painful but be i bore it ' like a soldier. He is rapidly r recovering from the injury. 1 « 9 Ce 9 The sidewalk ordinance is to be en9 acted and we hope it will be enforced s vigorously. Those who do not think - so, should visit West Cape May and , get wise. f (•(•(• i The .proposed new highway from . May's Landing to Tuckahoe will, if 1 realized, add another link to the i County system of good roads, of which j May's Landing is the nucleus, and , will be in line with the recommendaj tion 4of Governor Fort adyising good I highways leading tt County seat*. The I road at present is in a deplorable condition, and prevents to a great extent , travel to Ocean City, Cape May and , other municipalities in tbat part of f South Jersey. There is little chance r that it will be built this year, but its 9 eventual construction is assured. — i Atlantic County Record. Dr. S. F. Ware has leased and taken I , over all the property of the Pennsyl- , vanis Railroad at^the^corner of WashI I ington and Decatur streets, and the 1 1 property will be thoroughly modernized ; ! and repaired. It will be fitted up for I , stores and offices. There are various ways of being ; i "distinguished" and theA are some ! persons who deserve to be "extinguished," for the things in which they ' i ard "distinguiihed. " > (• (• (• • The introduction of the Mongolian or ! any long-tailed pheasant which is proposed by our State Fish and Game » Commission will be ruinous to one , native bird, the roffed grouse, which f is hardy and a bird^to be prized, but | which disappears whenever the Mon- . ' golian or other 'ong-tailed pheasants . are introduced in its habitat, because ; of a contagious disease usually carried" . by this variety of pheasant which they . successfully withstand, but which is i fatal to the native grouse.
