BULK OF POTATOES SHIPPED A tfam b er O f G rowers Hare S tone Their Cro ps Waltlsg For An Advance In P rice While the potato market on Long Island is good and prices are ad- vancing, very few cars are ' moving, for the reason that the farmers are not carting. Last week the Long Island Potato Exchange shipped three cars from Riverhead , two from Water Mill and two from Southampton. The price paid the farmers at Riv- erhead advanced from 90c. to 95c , the same as the price paid on the South Side. . „ It !s estimated that 95 per cent, of the total crop has been moved. This may not be correct , h owe v er , t o r f rom Information at hand it would appear that the farmers had stored to a great- er extant than reported. It is claimed that one man on Sound Avenue has 9 , 000 bushels in his cellar and many other lots of one and two thousand bushels are reported in and about Riverhead. The South fibie has stored more than the North Side and it Is safe to estimate that there is sUU 100 cars to be shipped. The Long Island grower* are heavy seed buyers and usually this heed is contracted for in the fail for spring: delivery- This year the price asked for spring delivery was very high and many of the farmers decided to buy ' tola fall. ' • Tbe Long Island Potato Exchange haa had five cars of seed from Maine and sold them to the farmer for $3.00 per Sack of 185 pounds net. There la still a demand and five more cars will be ordered. , Cauliflower is moving freely from all stations where this product is raised. Prices for long cuts are ranging from 55 to »1 mr bbl ., aceording to quality and even Trt these prices the demand is not heavy, The buyers at the Rlv- erhead station are , however , taking all offerings , but the \ ' . ink oiddiug' of a few weeks ago Is not in evidence. The quality of the stock offered is excellent ,«but owing to the low price of the best quality, culls are very low. The . shipments from Riverhead, this week will amount to about 40 car loads. One day last week there were on the rails of the Long Island R. R., at Bush- wick yard , among many others , three cars of potatoes belonging to one of the dealers who operate at that yard. One of these cars of potatoes came from York state , one from Maine and the other from Long Island. The potatoes in the York state car were selling at $2.50 per sack of ISO lbs.; the potatoes in the Maine car sold for $2.75 per ISO pounds; while the potatoes in the Long Island car were selling for $3.25 for the same number of pounds. The growers who loaded the York state car received 55c per bushel; the Maine grower receiv- ed 65c , while the Long Island grower received 90c. ?liould the growers from the difter- sections have , been present , they would have had an objec t lesson , and when they reached their homes they no doubt would advocate better sort- ing. While the stock in the Long Island cat* could have been much improved had a few more seconds been remov- ed , it was by far the best of the three. The Maine stock was poorly sorted , while no pretense whatever had been made to sort the York car. There we re many potatoes in tbe car that would weigh one and two pounds and from that weight to the size of a wal- nut. In the York car the larger pro- portion of the potatoes were perfect In size and had the very large and the small been removed this stock would have been tbe best of the three. Investigating further along the Hue of sorting, it was found that tbe Long Island grower sorts his potatoes be- fore carting and divides them into three grades , viz: Fri uies , seconds , seconds and culin mixed and is ncNv receiving 95c. per bushel for the primes; 60o. for the seconds , and 50c. for seconds and culls mixed. There are various methods adopted by the gro ivers in York state north of New York. As a rule the grower carta his potatoes in bulk and shovel them Into a sorter and what small pota- toes there are the grower carts them back to the farm. In many sections. however , the methods employed are those In use 60 or more years ago. The grower carta his potatoes in a box wagon , shov- els them in a basket held in the lap of a man who sits In the car , who picks out what are cut or show some rot and the very small , while another man empties the basket in the car , which occupies about one-tenth of his time. In this way it takes the best part of two days to load a c. -f. The small po- tatoes picked out In this way are used for seed, i-ast week a buyer from the eastern end of the state offered 5c more for the primes , if sorted , and in addition would buy all the small stock, but his offer was not accepted. The grea t state of New York , through its agricultural department , Its col- leges and schools have expended thousands of dollars along educational lines and it would appear that 2Cth century methods should be in vogue. Each year the buyers in the city arc demanding better sorting and are will- ing to pay a bette r price for stock well sorted. When a buyer purchases No. 1 potatoes he has a right to complain if he is made to pay for stock In them that is only worth half the price of the No. 1 stock. The farmer who pros- pers U the man who sort s and grades his slock In accordance with the de- mands of his trade. The largest euipment of Bluepoint oysters made from Sayvllle station , !!)!- . -lenson , orr<, ^r,,, ; M< ' /n?lr : v . Th^rr were twelve care or eleven hundred bushels. Three refrigerator cars with Bluepoiuts consigned to houses iu Chi- cago and St. Louis were included in this big shiumeni . SALES OF 3, 200 LOTS STOPPED BV THE (Ml Claim Made That Tax Law as to Map Property in the County is Unconstitutional ANNUAL TAX SALE !S HELB Os ' j lot Property Sold By County Treasurer Fits Was In The Town Of Babylon An Injunction stopped the Bale of 3200 lots in the town of Babylon at the annual Suffu ' .r. County iax sale , held at the court house lu this village , Mon- day afternoon. The order was served on County Treasurer Fits by Counsel- lor Percy L. Housel , attorney for the Manhattan Real Estate Company and the M. R. E. Holding Company. The lots are at or near .Lindenhurat and are each 25x100 feet. The argument on the motion to make the Injunction permanent was heard before Justice Garretson , in the Supreme Court. In Brooklyn , Tuesday. Iii this case Counsellor House! will claim that the assessment ot the lots is void on several technical grounds and also that the present Tax l»w is unconstitutional In that it diserlarin- ates. In his papers he cites an In- stance cf where one piece of p tup s slj is assessed in acreage at $*.Bt tsjs> while across the street Is a ttanttar tract of land which Is triappi s into 1900 lots , which the owner is compell- ed to pay $1600 to redeem at a tax sale. Counsellor Housel claims that the law wh' .ch permits the assessment of these lots separately is unconstitutional. Judge Griffing will appear In the mat- ter for the County Treasurer and a long, legal battle on this point may follow. Monday, County Treasurer Fits with- dre w from the sale all the lot property in the town of Huntington. It was said in explanation that County Treas- urer Fits withdrew this lot property from the sale on the advice of his counse l , Judge Gritting, at the same time that the Brookhaven town lot property was stricken from the sale by the Courts , but that the copy had been set and printed already, whteh ac- counts for Its being advertised after its withdrawal. The tax sale Monday was not as largely attended as in some former years , but yet there was some quite spirited bidding on some of the acre- age. 'The county, as usual , was a very large buyer. There were some 600 parcels offered for sale before what is known as the lot property, was offered. Much of this property will be redeemed as some of it is valuable, rfefore the sale, Mon- day, many parcels were redeemed by the delinquent owners. On account of the legal controver- sies , some Ltndenhurst lots were about all that was sold of the lot property. The lot* Me sold to those who will take the least part and pay the taxes and costs of advertising. At first sev- eral parties bid on these lets , which are but 25x100 feet and some bid down as low as one one-hundredth. The tax sale has made a lot of work for the county treasurer ' s office , ex- tending over a period of weeks. IN THE HFRROOATE'S COURT The will of John Hell , late of Green- port , was proved in the Surrogate ' s Court , Mouimy. The estate is valued at $500 personal and $5 , 000 real and is bequeathed as follows: To grand- daughter , Annie Buchert, all furniture; to granddaughter , Bertha Brown gold watch ' and 1 share of stock of the Peo- ple ' s National Bank , of Greenport; daughter , Elizabeth Ronik. \ one share of stock in said bank; granddaughter , Jennie Haffiy $500 ; son , Henry Hell , gold watch and two Odd Fellows ' pins; all residue to be divided into one-sixth parts and son , Henry Hell is given two-sixths; daughter , Elizabeth Ronik , two-sixths; granddaughter , Bertha Brown , one-sixth; granddaughter , An- nie Buchert one-Bixth. Elizabeth Ro- nik is named as executor. The will of James E. Chantry, of the town of Huntington , leaves property valued at less than $500 personal to friends , George A . Ketcham , Jeffrey- Fox and William Knorr. Letters of administration on the es- tate of Frederick L. Dunwcll , late of Southampton , were granted to William K. Dunwcll , son. Value of estate $2 , 000 personal , $5 , 000 real. «2 , 0©0 To hKEIMJE SESEKE8 HIVKH Tbe bill appropriating $2 , 000 for the improvement of Senekes river , in Cen- tre Moriches , has been signed by Gov- ernor Dix and people in that village are happy over the result , for which they have been working hard for a long time. Senato r Thomas H. Cullen , of Brook- lyn , who has a summer * home in Cen - tra Moriches , did much to secure the appropriation. The village people some time ago , raised $2 , 000 by private subscription s and much wes accom- plished at the entrance to the river , but it was soon found that not only the entrance needed deepening and a bulkhead , but the river is too shallow from the entrance to its head , near the Main street , for motor and sailboats . The new . appropriation will put this rnrt of the rlv« In fairly rood nlmne . To Dr . William Carr , Joseph . iicAiee- nan and Dr. Charles Pflug, Frank Evandoc , Senator Cullen and others is due the credit for securing the im- provement. CAMPAIGN IN SUFFFOLK ¦ CLOSES THIS WEEK Republicans Confident of Victory At the Polls Next Tuesday By Good Plurality CANDIDATES ARE ALL ACTIVE Something Of The Men Whose Annies Appear on (he Republica n Ticltci In Suffolk County The campaign just drawing; to a close in Suffolk county has been a quiet one. This week the candidates have been making quite a canvass and there is much speculation as to the vote next Tuesday. Last year the vote in the county was light , notwithstand- ing there was a State election. It is believed that the total vote this year will equal that of last year. The Republicans are well organiz- ed In the county and expect to elect their whole ticket. T)r. William Carr , of Centre Moriches , chairman of the Republican County Committee , has been conducting an aggressive . and clean campaign. He predicts the suc- cess of the entire ticket , but urges upon all Republicans to come out and vote next Tuesday. CHARLES R. FITS! The Democrats are making quite u flpht in the Second Assembly District and some of their candidates on the county , ticket , especially Rev. William A. Wasson, have been conducting a very vigorous personal canvass. AH the Republican candidates have been hustling too , this week. It Is conceded that the Republican ticket this fall is a good one and that it appeals strongly to the voters. In the F' rst Assembly District As- semblyman DeWitt C. Talmage , of East Hampton , is a candidate for re- flection. Mr. TslrriHge is well known in this section as a good business man and one who can be relied upon at all times to perform his duty as a repre- sentative of the public. While during his first term tbe Assembly was Demo- cratic , it is believed that next winter Assemblyman Talmage will be a mem- ber of the majority and therefore in a better position to best serve his con- stituents. Mr. Talmage is of the ninth genera- tion of the Talmage family that set- tled in East Hampton in 1694. Mr. Talmage was for years a merchant in that village. He is now clerk of the DeWITT (' . TALMAOK Bonrd of Education , of East Hampton: manager and director of the- Home Water Company; secretary and treas- urer of the Clinton Gas Company, and treasurer of the Maidstone Fire Dis- trict. He is a charter member of Hampton Lodge , F . & A. M., and Past D . D. G . M., 1. O. O. F„ of Suffolk county. He was collector of taxes and assessor in East Hampton for twelve years , and in 1910 was elected Mem- ber of Assembly , In this , district , by 592 plurality, notwithstanding the big slump in the Reuubllcan veto in this county last fall. Ir the Second Assembly District George L. Thompson , of Kings Park , twice elected Member of Assembly in that district , iB the Kepublican candi- date. Mr. Thompson was defeated for that office last fall on account of the heivy Democratic vote polled In the district. In f»09 , Mr. Thompson was elected by a plurality of 1 , 120 and in 1908 he defeated Frederick Sheide , the present Assemblyman of that district, i. f. -ir is =f f-;lf . when !) !? cn .rHoif Suffolk county, Sheide Oeieuieii Thompson by about 800. This fall the Republicans are confident (>f currying the Second ABRembly District. Mr . Thompson is well known to the: voters of his district. His record at! Albany during the two years he was in the Assembly, is clean and it is con- ceded by everybody that he made one of the best representatives at Albany that the county has ever had .

Brush , of Smithtown , is a business man well known in this county. Just the kind or man who will make a good sheriff . Iffs nomin- j at ion was a popular one. . . MELVILLE E. BRUSH Everybody concedes that Charles It. Fitz , of Southampton , has made a very capable County Treasurer and that he ought to be re-elected by a big vote. His record in office entitles him to an expression of confidence at the polls on November 7. Robert F. Gurney, of Greenlawn , has been an Overseer of the Poor of the town of Huntington for years. He was at one time a Justice of the Ses- sions in ihis county and is a straight- forward business man , who will add strength to the ticket and get a big complimentary vote in his home town Dr. C . C. Miles , of Greenport , and Dr. K. S. Mooro , of Buy Shore , are well qualified for the ollioe of Coroner. ltRlpli i ' . fluent , the Republican candidate for District Attorney, is milking an active canvass of the county. He is very popular through- out Suffolk and will get it big vot.?. This is the first time he has ever been :' . candidate for office and his friends are rallying to his support.

One On loss Island Local weather prophets of the old scheol have issued r. prediction ' that the coming winter will be unusually coW. They base this prediction on the time-honored rules laid down by ¦ aUre. The phophets say the moss on the >orth side of the beech trees Is much heavier than usual. This la a sign of cold weather and plenty ot It. The squirrels are busily engaged In filling their dens with food , and wood- men say this indicates heavy snows, with cold weather. The bones of geese , both old and young, are said to be heavier than usual and the down thicker. Tha goose bone la one of the beat known methods of prediction In rural districts. In addition to all these signs , it is said the wool ot sheep is heavier than it has been in years , and people who have been close enough to mup^rats and other ani- mals to examine them , declare their fur is going to be thicker this win- ter than it has been In ten years. C f • The world' s championship egg-lay- ing contest started Wednesday at the Connecticut Agricultural College. Five hundred biddies , representing thirteen states in the United States , and one English poultry yard , are en- tered. Each team of five has a sub- stitute to be used in case of death of disability. The contest originated with a Philadelphia newspaper , which oBered $2 , 000 in prizes to the winners .

As a good roads man he stood well to the front in the whole state. The best evidence that be made good was the length of time he held office—longer than any other man in the town had ever held that position. Mr. Brown has had much experience in road building. He Is a practical man for the place and we know that he will make good. We predict for our new Superintendent of Roads a most suc- cessful aSBsrfstrMlnn .

Surely such a man would be opposed to all unjust or oppressive laws and would work with all his might for laws that would be for the greatest good to tbe greatest number.

Hller , of Center -Moriches , Held Up By Joseph Xaynes Who E sca p ed F rom Jail John W. Hller , proprietor of a nov- elty store In Centre Moriches , while returning home with bis daughter , late Saturday night , was held up and robbed of a box containing $160 In money and some valuable papers , which he was carrying under his arm. The man disappeared through a near- by hedge. Hller gave chase after the highway- man , but was Unable to catch him. His daughter notified Constable Dayton , who began an Investigation. Hller was able to glVe a good description of the robber , whom he described as a negro of medium height and wearing a gray coat. Ou Monday, Joseph Maynes , a negro , was arrested In Patchogue on a charge of being drunk and disorderly and also for assault. When Constable Warren searched the pockets of his prisoner be found $91 in bills , besides a new pocketbook , also a check book printed with tbe name of John W. Hller. Then It was that Mr. Hiler was no- tified of the arrest and ha hastened to Patchogue and preferred a charge of highway robbery against Maynes , who had been working around Centre Mor- iches , tbe past; summer. Mr. Hller was able to identify Maynea and Justice Oreene held the negro to await the action of the grand )ury. • It developed that Maynes escaped from the Riverhead jail last Friday morning and that this is the second time that he had ran away from the Jail. He is the fellow who last Aug- ust escaped from the Jail and caused the officers a merry chate , He was run down by Harry Rafford. For running away Justice of the Peace Hll- dreth sentenced Mayne s on August 26 to an additional six ' months In Jail. Last Friday he was allowed out In the yard to work on the flower beds when he again \beat it. \ The officers were unabLe to get any trace of him uptil be was arrested in Patchogue for be- ing intoxicated and annoying people. The highway robbery charge will probably laud Maynes in Sing Sing. - ¦ Mr. Hiler is a veteran of the Civil War and well known in Center Mor- iches. It had been his habit to take his money home nights after he closed his store. Maynes must have been watching for him , knowing of Mr. Hiler ' s custom. mjDW FOR CAP THEE ISLAND The town of Islip has been offered $50 , 000 for Cap Tree Island , which is really a group of islands lying Just inside the beach , immediately west of Fire Island Inlet. The islands com- prise about 200 acres , much of which is marsh laud and would have to be filled In. A special election will probably be called iu the town of Islip to vote on the proposition.
