' «S».~ J- -i: I I EDGABPAKKER, Editor, m m if^te-. »©»: 2§fP*The Democratic Senators and Assemblyman have named Andrew J. Shipman of New York for election as Regent of the University of the State of New York to succeed Supreme Court Justice Eugene A. Philbin. His term will expire in 1930, Mr. Shipman has made a particular btudy of Russian affairs. He speaks sev- eral European -languages. §3f**The expected happened in the State Senate yesterday. Governor Sulzer's direct primary bill came up for passage, the one eliminating the state conventions, and it was defeat- ed in that body by 42 against, 8 for. The Governor expects to win in the assembly, but the indicationsin other sources are tnat the bill will also : be defeated there. It may be that some measure will be passed \eliminating\ the terrible expenses of the primaries, which cost the counties fullv two million dollars a year. So much red tape iis wholly unnecessary. First Outing. . Thtoughthe kindness of Mr. F» A. Herendeen, the editor was given bis first outing last Thursday, afternoon, ' after ^having Keen confined to bis home exactly four months and four days. Oh I it was an enjoyable ride, after % being cooped up so long, seeing very few only as they passed the window and waved a band at us. How warm the bright sun shone I How gladly was God's fresh air inhaled into the lungs! Once again down street, but too weak to\ get out of the car, except once, and that was to step into Dor- chester & Rose's to tackle their scales. Weight now 163—have drop- ped just 71 pounds in these four months. But we do not regret see- ing the flesh go, if we can recover our wind and heart action. And it was good to shake hands with the scores who came out to the car to greet us! It proved that our business friends were ready Co wel- come us back at the desk from which the BSjgr*They are having strenous times in Albany between the Gov- ernor and the legislature. They do not agree on the primary measure. The legislature is opposed to the elimination of the state convention, and the Governor insists upon it. j« The Governor has another trying job before him—using the pruning knife on the appropriation bills which now exceed those of previous years by some millions of dollars. We fear many local bills will suffer from this prunning. With such a large ture and a Democratic Governor, one would think that legislation should work off more smoothly. we have been absent so long, was a little strange to see — ohanges caused by fire; to see the work which has progressed on the new city hall, the new M. E. Church edifice all enclosed, agjd the asphalt streets again ready for repair. It was more sad to note the havoc wrought Dy the waves on the sea wall around the foot of the lake. A few weeks more of high water and strong south winds and the sea wall will be a thing of the past. All this we took in through a ride of an hour. And Lewis Whedon, the driver of the car, ran it so* care- fully, avoiding all the humps and and hollows in the streets, that not a jar made the ride in the least uncom e i * —— Improved Highways in the County. Ten of tlfie sixteen towns of. the county have filed statements with County Highway Superintendents George W. Powell, showing that the 1913 road repair work will cost ap- proximately $72,689. When the|J other six towns are heard rrom it is likely that the grand total will mount up to nearly $100,000. The town of Bristol will spend $12 per mile on 83 miles of highways, for ditch cleaning and removal of stones and will pay a road patrolman $240 annually. On bridges having a span of less than five feet $500 will be ex- pended. Fpr permanent improve- ments, the town will expend $500 on 5 miles from the top of Fisher bill to the west town line in draining and turnpiking ; $200 on the road run- ning north from Bristcl Center and $450 on .he Bristol* Center Hill, where macadam will be laid. Seneca will expend $1,0§0 on 100 miles of highways and $500 on small U_:3 mi as j£ bridges. The reserve fund will con Democratic majority in the legisla- j J ar ma< ture and a Democratic Governor. I fortable. We felt at its close that was again worth n the death of Andrew S. Draper which occurred at his home in Albany Sunday morning, the country has lost one of its foremost educators. For the past two year s Dr. Draper had not been in his usual good health. The Capitol fire at I Albany which destroyed the State Library and other divisions of the Education Department had caused him considerable extra work and much anxiety. When the two State educational departments in New York were united in 1904, a special provision was inserted in the law to make him eligible and he was made commissioner of education. His term expired March 31, 1910 and he was reappointed by the Regents of Uni- versity for an indefinite term. life was again worth living. Our physician told us when he took our case that our trouble had been a long time coming upon us and it would be a long time in passing off. But we j begin to fell now that we are getting there, that a few weeks more, at least by the first of June, the desk and chair at the office and Parker will resume relations again. \A con- summation devoutedly to be wished,\ as Shakepeare said when in a game of \draw he picked up an ace that made it four aces. ' Canandaigua Becomes a City, t^P\ The report of Special Com- missioner Blake who was designated under executive order to investigate the prisons of the State of Mew York brings to light a very unsatis- factory condition of affairs at Auburn prison. The commissioner recom- mends \a Grand Jury investigation the administration of the prison physcian, whom he holds responsible for much of the brutality, including the punishment by an allowance of J water just sufficient to sustain life, and neglect- of men and women patients during illness.\ The report ^ points out that the state has been supporting a number of fine horses and vehicles for the pleasure of the warden at a cost of $2,500. The report also recommends as speedy a change as possible in the wardenship, and the creation of a bureau for the purchase of the supplies used in the prisons and reformatories. The report adds that the prisons could be maintaing for $75,000 less a year. » J»- Earthquake in » Northern New York A severe earthquake shock was felt in several towns in Northern New York at 7:30 o'clock on Monday evening It. lasted for more than a minute. In Maione the jar was so distinct that houses were violently shaken and the streets were soon filled with frightened men and women. The loud rumbling that heralded its coming grew louder. Chimmeys were loosened and business blocks were shaken. In Potsdam houses were rocked on their foundations, windows were broken dishes shaken from sideboards and shelves. Scores of women fainted in Ogdensburg. One woman who saw the walls of her house trembling attempted to run into the street, and was stricken by paralysis. Geo. C. Chad wick of the Department Geologyspf St. Lawrence University considers rbe. s'lock the result of an adjusting movement in the earth's crust known as a tectonic earth- quake. Such jars, the professor says, occur occasionally in the St. Lawrence valley, but they are usually Ipcal, slig-ht and of a sudden explo- sive nature. Canandaigua with a population 7,217 became a city on Monday when Governor rfulzer signed the bill of Assemblyman Schnerel. It is the '•baby City\ and the fiftieth city in the state. Just three months ago a | petition was circulated for the sub- miisiqn ot the question whether the form of government should be chang- ed, and during this time the charter has been drafted, passed by the leg- islature and signed by the governor. The bill takes effect immediately, so Canandaigua is now a city to all intents and purposes. Under the terms of the charter, the president and board of trustees will meet next Monti ay evening at 7 o'clock and organize as a Common Counoil. Within twenty days thereafter the counoil must meet and audit all debts, demands and claims existing at that time against the village of Canandaigua. Village President Peter P. Turner, Tuesday, automatically became Can- andaigua's first Mayor. The first members of the Common Council are | Ray Church, Grant M. Kennedy, Johrr O'Keefe, H. W. Closs, W. H. Townsend, Patriok- O'Brien, J. J. Mattison and Harley Hancock. Wil- liam R. Brooks is the first City Clerk, Thomas R. Lynch the first City Tres- urer, Fred D. Cribb, City attorney, and Phillip O'Keefe, City Judee. A Department of Public Works is established to embrace the present light commission, the street depart- ment and the board of water com- missioners. The Police Court is abolished, and in its place there is a Ctty Court for the transaction of both criminal and civil business. The De partment of Health and Public Safely suppiatits the Board of Health and the Police and Fire CommissoBS. The present Common Council has the appointment of commissioners to each of the new bodies. sist of $1,929 The permanent im- provements will cost $6,000, to con- sist of laying macadam on the Seneca Castle-Northern Central Railway road and on the Stanley-Flint Creek road; on the Hall-Ferguson's Corners road, resurfacing with crushed stone ; ma- cadam will be placed on the Kash- ong-Bellona highway.

The Hagertv Hill road will require $200, the Pal mer road $500 and the Fresh.- our road $173 in gravelling. Mr. Bryan's Mission. Although theire,is really little dan- ger of a. war with Japan Fresideiit Wilson is doing exactly the right thing in sending Secretary of State Bryan to California to urge modera- tion by the Golden Gate Legislature in its treatment of the Japs within its border says the Oswego Palladium. Reports from Tokio show that the excitement there is abating and, be- sides, Japan is in no position to wage war. In addition to this, Japan sincre- ly desires our friendship and would not seize upon a bit of foolish leg is- lation by the California lawmakers to precipitate hostilities. There is nothing undignified in a Secretary of State crossing the continent to har- monize the relations between, a state and the national government. Although there is really no danger of war even though California should enact drastic anti-Japanese legisla- tion. Mr. Bryan's trip cannot but have a good effect on the people of the Paoihc coast. n .„--..•-'*•'• ••-•• DAY AT Australian Meat to Flood the Market Soon- The Australian Government Com- missioners at San Francisco confirm the report that Australian beef, mut- ton, pork and butter will in a few weeks flood the market of San Fran- cisco and other Ameiican cities and lower the present high prices of meat to the consumer. The Union Steam- ship Company has anounced that an order has been placed in England for the construction of four large refrigerator carriers which are to be used for transporting frozen meats from Austraila to San Francisco. The head of Schweitzer & Co.. of San Franciso, an independent dealer, is now jn Australia and in Sidney,has closed a contract for all of the avail- able refrigerating space on the three liners of the Union company now operating to San Francisoo. The steamship owners have secur- ed guarantees from .Schweitzer for large orders sufficient to test the refrigerating capaoity of the present fleet of steamships. Schweitzer ex- pects to bring to San Francisco mil- lions of pounds of meat especially mutton One-Price Clothier Come in and See for Yourselves that we are Truthful ^ £ . 9 37 and 39 Seneca Street, (South Side) Geneva, N.

Here are the solid facts about this solid* one-piece, electrically welded fence. * As smooth as a bolt of cloth. Not a superfluous piece in its construction. Just line and stay wires—that's all. At every contact point (where they cross) wires are electrically welded. The weld is as strong as the wire and positively leaves the galvanizing intact—something that can not be said of any fence made with ties, clamps, twists or wraps. and 6 weaf els °o\r 8m&11 ~« h to ke ep chicks in anta^Sk ff ***'* brWk out ' * *W<* wild -te S hoS nS Upright ^ firm *$*«* boards ^^adapting to all weather changes anduneven out ill Wl K out *P«M' out-Wt and out-look any fence made. w. ta.. *.**<„ M ^ £3y»«™ mh, —Canandaigua celebrated last Tuesday evening the great event of is becoming a city. There was music by the band and firing ol can- non. No more will the question of excise be submitted to the voters, and other changes in public matters will take place that will not be restricted as they were under the old village charter. Geneva has gone through the mill and knows tbe dif- ference between the village and city governments. Tbe Panama canal will be rieady for the first battleship to use it as a means of the transit from the Atlan- tic to the Pacific some time next October. May Contest Will It was intimated in Surrogate Court in Canandaigua on Monday that Miss Julia Smith, of Alexander street, Rochester, is to contest the will of her father, Thomas Smith,late a resident of Canandaigua, who died suddenly on December 11. A hearing in the matter was sched- uled for Monday, but, owing to the illness of Miss Smith, who is in a Roohester Hospital, an adjournment until May 12 was taken. Tbe widow has engaged Attorney N. D. Lap- ham, of Geneva, and Walter H. Knapp, of Canandaigua appears for Miss Smith. The Smith will gives the life use of all tbe property to his widow, who isj his second wife. Under the will of Essher Case Ben- bam, who died in Hopewell last Feb- ruaryf all her property goes, to her nephew, Charles Case, of Elkhart, Ind. Her husband, Murray Benham, is executor. Henry Salant, the only Progressive member of the State Senate, Was unseated Tuesday night by a vote of 40 to 3, and bis Democratic oppon- ent, George Simpson, was given his seat. Rumor has it that Br. - Thomas Ei Finnegan, first assistant commission- er, is likely to be promoted to com- missioner of education in place of Andrew S. Draper, deceased.
