The market prioes hare been jumping at a pace that has been making many people wealthy and some of them dizzy. High ^prices in the stock market means an era of free spending. Big bank accounts and easily made profits are always to the advantage of this or any other resort. The time is coming, as it always does, a drop in market prices.

The menhaden steamers have not been operating close to the coast and this is an explanation [given by a seaman as to the reason for the better fishing. The same report comes from all along the coast. The demon- ' stration that fishing is better when menhaden steamers are not in use close the shore, should convince the skeptical ones that the big nets used by the steamers had the effect as claimed by anglers, that the fish were scured^away.

The operatiug expenses | j were $7.1, 0493, 62. against $70,788,465 in 1907. Only eleven of the roads paid I dividend, as 92 per cent, of the gross j receipts went for operating expenses, 1 1 leaving but 8 per cent, for repairs, ! taxes and dividends. The number of employes has been I reduced thirty per cent. Local asses- i value the railroad property at i while .the value reported ! the commission is but $206,288,617. is a lesson in these figures for the rabid anti-corporationiste in New who may discover the effects ' of the "soak the railroads" policy in 1 order to provide money to be wasted in salaries to useless .municipal office ' Trenton Times. ft ft ft Many people are looking forward to , grand event of the season with liveanticipation.

: STORAGE AND FREEZING PLANT ; ONE MAY BE ERECTED HERE ; Representative of Philadelphia ' Company Esamining Field and Pleased with Opening » Emerson O. Custis, representing the i Delaware Storage and Freezing Oom- ' pany, of Philadelphia, has been looking i over the ground and interviewing a ' number of business men with reference 1 to the advisability of establishing a ' cold storage and freezing plant aDd > probably an ice factory here. He was ! favorably impressed with the outlook. ' It is looked upon as quite an impor1 tant enterprise to the city, because it could be profitably used by farmers and grocers, produce dealers, fishermen, and others. In regard to the fishermen, the completion of the harbor will mark the development of this j 1 point as the greatest fishing point on i the coast, not only from the standpoint < of sport but from the commercial | standpoint. Cape May is nearer the . best fishing grounds and tne harbor facilities and tbe shipping conveniences i which can be prepared will make it the most desirable point for the fleets of , fishing boats which fish for tbe market. ' Adequate cold storage facilities would ! 1 be ueeded for this business alone. I ' SECRETARY OF STATE KNOX HERE, j j Secretary of State Philander O, j | accompanied by Mrs. Knox, j C.

THE LIVERPOOL ' OF AMERICA CAPE MAY TO BECOME SO t The Great D. L. and W Railroad May Build Lines to This City e The Philadelphia Record yesterday g contained the following aispatch from a Doylestown : e Doylestown, Pa., Aug. 9.— A rumor a current here, which is supported by a j well known resident, who says he is in 8 a position to know, declares that the Philadelphia & Easton Railway Oom- . pany, is about to be purchased by tbe t Delaware, Lackawanna ft Western. He B says tbe D. L. & W. is a Harriman _ road, and for its own protection it must e have an outlet to Cape May, and this . purchase will be the first step in that 8 direction, reaching from Easton co a Doylestown. 1 This gentleman called attention to I j the fact that for several years ConB i gress has been£<ippojjriating money for r Cold Spring Inlet, until Ihe appropnaB j tions hsve run intj millions of dollars. e It is directly on the ocean, and is the f nearest point in a direct line to the ! European ports. j| When the work is completed Cape May may become the Liverpool of America. The only possible route for j the D. L. & W. brings it through j this place, and it will give the town a _ j direct outlet to thejWest as well as to i New' York. ' | A SUCCESSFUL FISHING PARTY 1 Dr. Geo. T. Hayman, osteopathist, 5 of Villa San Carlo, Cape May Point, ' conducted a very successful fishing 5 part on Thursday. The party consisted of his daughter, Gladys, bis son Thawley, and thbir guests, Miss Marion 1 Fretz and brother of Philadelphia. They secured a fine catch, sixteen s large beauties faliing victims to the ; doctor's skill as a fisherman. And, . though it was Miss Fretz's first ex- , perience with book and line, her first , haul brought to view two immense , weak fish, one on each hook. They returned to their residence singing the , praises of Oape May as a Mecca t , anglers. Wall Paper. Wall Paper.
