Y., THURSDAY, 7,1935, VOLUME 74. No. 17. Members of the Black River Regu attng district board are upholding the tradition of the Black river valley in endeavoring to obtain federal aid for the construction of Panther Moun- tain reservoir on Moose river. Almost exactly a century ago a pub- ic movement got under way looking o Improved river conditions, together with inland waterways to connect the north country with the Erie canal sy's- ;em. The state was petitioned in >830 to construct a canal from Rqme o Lyons Palls and \to make Black river navigable to Carthage. Public spirit was so strong in the i820's that efforts went forward to rjnance the undertaking by private •A«ana. A corporation was chartered u 1828, the Black River Canal com- pany having authority to capitalize ,.t $400,000 and to control navigation ',o Carthage. The stock was not •.iken up. Idea Promoted From Governor DeWitt Clinton's proposal for extension of the canal ^eiTice to Black river, made before 1 he legislature in 1825, residents of ih'je valley had been active in promot- ing the idea. Private enterprise fail- ing, they took steps to obtain state ronstruction, and following a series of mass meetings and conferences h convention of delegates from three counties met at Lowville in January, 2830, memoralizlng the legislature to provide the waterway. In 1836 necessary legislation was en- acted, but work proceeded only inter- mittently and It was not until 1850 that the canal was completed. It con- linued in operation, with rapidly de- clining use during final years, until 1822, when it was discontinued. Complaints of mill owners along Black river had led to the first ef- forts in New York at river control, .'storage reservoirs having been provid- ed on Fulton chain about 1880 to re- store to the stream waters diverted 1O the Erie canal. During 1894, when Roswell P. .Flower was governor David M. Anderson, prominent Wa- tertown paper manufacturer, brought about the next step In river Improve- ment by Inducing Governor Flower to create the commissioners of water power on Black river, predecessors to the regulating district board. Streams Still Fluctuated Although the water commissioners took steps to improve the river flow, enlarging the state's pond at Still- w.ater and directing use of the Od Forge and Sixth lake storage, the situation was far from desirable. tftreams fluctuated so widely that at «ne time too much water and again too little came down the channel, each In 1010 a concerted movement was launched for river control. The Wa- lertown chamber of commerce took ihe Initiative, appointing a legisla- tive committee with Edward N. Smith now Justice of the Supreme Court, •AS chairman, to bring about such stat- utory changes for proper regulation of the,river flow. It soon developed that the leglsla- tive committee had a real job. The state constitution prohibited the con- struction of storage ponds. An amendment to the constitution, per- mitting the flooding of not to exceed 3 per cent of forest lands for water etorage purposes, was projected. Smith Took Stump Justice Smith, then associated with Charles A. Phelps, of Watertown, In the practice of law, took the stump and sold the amendment to the public. The amendment was approved. Immediately H. Edmund Machold, speaker of the assembly, fathered a Mil to legalize the creation of river regulating -districts, with state author- ity, acting under the conservation commission. This became law in 1615, but it was not until August, 1819. that the Black river regulating <iifctrict was created. The Machold \enabling act\ as it was called was drafted by Justice Smith, the entire campaign for river regulation being directed by the leg- islative committee of the Watertown •hamber. MRS. HARRIET L. THOMPSON Born in Watson, February 88, 1869— Died at Beaver River Station, January SO, 1985. Mrs ; Harriet L, Thompson, 75, •widow of William Thompson, of Crys- taldale, died January 30th at the home «f her sons, Walter and Clinton Thompson, Norridgewock hotel, Bea- ver River station. She had been in failing health for some time and Wednesday morning suffered a stroke from which she fail- ed to rally. Her body -was brought tto Lowville m the Dekin ambulance. Mr. Dekln, accompanied by Carl Rowley, of Stlll- water, went to Beaver River station with Mr. Rowley's snowmobile and brought her body from the hotel to fetiiiwater over the Ice, a distance of J« miles.

Carthage. — Failing to find a satis- factory fluid market for their milk, the former patrons of the Carthage Dairy plant who withdrew last No- vember to form the Twin-Counties Producers .Co-operative Association, Inc., have decided to deliver their products again to the local plant, It was learned at a meeting of the plant patrons Wednesday afternoon. About 70 farmers joined together in organizing the co-operative* with the intention ot securing a fluid out- let for their milk on the New York city market. The market obtained, through the Sterlingville plant of the I. Altman Company oft New York city, proved unsatisfactory, and begin- ning with February 1, the members returned to the*local cheese factory. An effort was made to find a direct- to-dealer market in New York, the market afforded by milk brokers be- ing considered unsatisfactory, but without results. According to a let- ter received by Maynard Schorge, secretary of the corporation, from John Dillon, editor of the Rural New Yorker, there are no prospective buy- ers of milk in New York city who are not brokers Considerable discussion was held during the meeting Wednesday con- cerning the advisability of equipping j the local plant with facilities for; handling milk for the fluid market.! The estimated cost was approximately j 15,000. Thus furnished, the plant; would be equipped to make cheese during the flush season x while the fluid market is off, and ship milk during the periods when prices and demand are high, It was argued. The services of George R. Humphrey as cheesemaker, and Sidney Loomis as secretary and treasurer of the Car- thage plant were secured for another year. Daniel Rourke was chairman of the meeting, Frank Twining acting as recording secretary. MRS. CHARLES W. ROBY Born at Port Leyden, September 7, 1879; Died at Boonville, February 1, 1935.

Besides working with telegraph companies to get 15,000 telegrams from thiB vicinity immediately into the hands of the legislative represen- tatives of this district, the Utica club is going to sponsor a mute appeal, that of leaving cars in complete dis- use all one day, Mr. Malley says.

At its first annual meeting on Jan- uary 29th, the Canton Production Cre- dit Association elected the following officers for 1935: Frank Crary, Can- ton, president; Louis C. Archer, Low- ville, vice president; Albert W. Hull, Canton, secretary-treasurer. Approximately 125 persona, of whom 87 were farmer-members, attended the meeting, representing every part of the association's territory, which in- cludes Lewis, Jefferson, St. Lawrence, Franklin, Clinton and Essex coun- ties. Reports for the close of 1934 showed 242 farmers as members of the asso- ciation with loans outstanding amounting to 4125,000.\ The associa- tion was chartered about 12 months ago as a local credit co-operative to make short-term loans for the finane ing of crops or for the purchase of farm supplies, livestock and equip- ment. Erwin H. Forbush, of the Product- ion Credit Corporation, Springfield, Mass., gave high praise to association officers for the efficient manner in which they conducted its business dur- ing the past year. Even though all ex- penses of organization and setting up an office had to be deducted from, this year's income, the association showed a net profit of $417.27, before setting up a reserve for possible loss- es. Mr. Forbush said; \The greatest opportunity of the association for ser- vice to farmers lies in enabling them to put their business on a cash basis. Nearly three-quarters of the short- term credit which farmers normally use is with dealers and merchants who, because they are not primarily In a credit business, charge as much as 30 or 40 per cent, on an annual bas- is, for the credit service that they gave.\ The Canton Production Credit Association was organized to help rem- edy this situation and not to compete with regular credit agencies. By loan- ing cash to farmers on reasonable rates and for convenient periods of time, farmers can then pay their bills and save the high carrying charges of dealers and merchants, it was declar- ed. Farmers who plan to use the asso- ciation during the coming season were urged to file th'eir applications early, even .though they may not plan, to use the funds until later. This will prove more satisfactory to farmers them- selves, and will enable the association to operate more efficiently and with less expense, it was declared. MOTORISTS NOT PAYING THEIR SSHARE, REPORT SAYS To Supervise Short-Term Agricultur- al Financing In Now EngLandr New York and New Jersey Harlan B. Munger, Byron, N. Y., was recently appointed president of the Production Credit Corporation, Springfield, Mass., according to an an- nouncement by E. H. Thompson, gen- eral agent of the Springfield district of the Farm Credit Administration, speaking for the board of directors of the corporation. Mr. Munger, who has been district supervisor In west- era New York for the Credit Admin- istration, succeeds Dr. Van B. Hart, Ithaca, who resigned January 16 to return to the staff of the agricultur- al economics department, Cornell Uni- versity. The Production Credit Corporation, of which Mr. Munger becomes head, .Is a unit of the Farm Credit Admin- istration and has supervision of thir- ty cooperative, production credit as- sociation* In New England, New York and New Jersey. Through these local units 18,500,000 in short term farm loans were financed during 1984. Born and reared on a farm in western New York, Mr. Munger was affiliated from 1912 to 1914 with-the farm management office of the Unit- ed States Department of Agriculture, Washington. For the succeeding six years he was held on the farm man- agement department, Iowa State Col- lege, Ames, la. Since 1925 Mr. Munger has been an appraiser for the Federal Land Bank, making his home on a farm which he owns and operates at Byron * Recognl*ed as a leading authority Ghickering, Don A. Tl merman and Roy Planck. Quality Printing—Phone 9s7. months last year as special advisor onj land appraisals with the Farm Credit Administration, during which time he travelled extensively in the south and west. In all, the state dumped about 180,000 petitions warningly In the legislative lap. This year, 200,000 telegrams are the goal. The individual must object, Mr. Malley points out, since organiza- tion lobbies are looked upon as only \doing their job,\ while individual protests carry the weight of personal conviction. Mr. Malley says Senator Seabury Mastick Is entirely in the wrong when he says the motorists are \not paying their share.\ The Utlcan asserts that, through diversion of motor vehicle taxes the motorist not only pays en- tirely the state expense in connection with highways and other auto conven- iences, but that more'than (50.000,000 Is diverted to pay other expenses en- tirely foreign to automobiles. The auto is not In the luxury class. The important part it plays in trans- portation every day proves that, he says. Albany ~- A permanent four-cent state gas tax and an Increase of $17,- 000,000 in inheritance taxes was recom- mended to the Legislature Monday sight by the Mastick Commission for revision of the tax laws. In the face of organized opposition by motorists' organizations to Gover- nor Lehman's proposal for a four- cent gas tax, the commission submitt- ed figures purporting to show that \the motorist is not paying his share of the tax burden.\ Besides supporting the one-cent in- crease—favored byjthe Governor, the commissioner also recommended boos- ing the driver-license fee from 50 cents to $2. It also urged the Legislat- ure to increase license plate fees for heavy trucka and buses. FOR COMING Now Playing • y%£ Gretta Garbo in \The Painted Veil.\ ;:C Fri.- Sat.
