Lockport Aug. 10. The International Pump Trust, so far as the Holly Manufacturing Company Is concerned, seems to be gaining ground. Yesterday, It is said, forty-eights neW machinists were employed in the places made vacant by the strike of 160 machinists May! 21st. Aecording to reports the companynow has about I to eighty 'machinists at work.

This Is not enough to keep upi with the foundry, but new men seem to be arriving right along. An officer1 of the company said to The Courier representaUve: are gettinghew men every day ahd It is but a matter of a short time when we? shall have a full force of machinists! at work at the old terms. We are now going along with our contracts as usual and, expect to complete all on, time." I Asked ajbbut the rumor that the Holly Company plant might be taken from Lockport by the fcTust. the Holly man said: "That has been considered. Buildings do not cost much, i Tools are expensive, but they -Can be moved.

For the; present at least, the plant will remain here. As to the future I know othing of the company's plans, and If I did I am not in a position to talk about them." For some years the matter, of a city hospital has been agitated, but up to date nothing tangible has been accomplished, beyond the law authorizing the city to expend $5,000 and procure a site. The site has been obtained, but the corner-stone laying seems to be almost; as. far off as ever. Certain physicians i agreed to obtain private subscriptions equal, to the city's expenditures for a hospital, but so far they have made good.

It Is said, iless than $2,000 of that promise. The city is sadly in need of a general hospital and it should 5 pe promptly provided.

Sold Crowns I DrtJi Wark AN hrttfae as4 TEETH a. a Niagara Falls, Aug. 10. Supt. Welch ef the New York State Reservation at Niagara Is in receipt of the printed copies of the last annual report of the Board of Commissioners.

It opens with the report of the commissioners' proper, in which, among other things, it is stated that ihe needed improvement at the time the report was! written would cost 'The report of Peter A. Porter, Jr. secretary-treasurer of the board, next follows, and is interesting. It appears to share with the report of the superintendent In informing the board of what ought to be done on the; -State property. This is Mr.

Porter first annual report, and in it he takes occasion to set history aright in regard to his ancestors having received financial help from Nicholas In the erection of the stairway to the Cave- of the Winds on Goat Island. In substance Mr. Porter's report is a follows: "The agitation for the sovereign ownership of Niagara, which began in 1S77 and ended July 15. 1S85, on which date the State of New York entered Into possession of the lands "on the American side, was not an entirely hew conception. Yet the idea, as then suggested, assumed such a tangible and businesslike form, and appealed so strongly to all lovers of nature and of its unique and-beau tifur scenery that 'It was at once encouraged by the influence of numerous prominent men, in many paths of life, not only In our own state, but throughout the nation, and by reason of the world-wide love of Niagara, received the hearty indorsement Of men of great eminence from across the ocean.

"In 1S34 the i Reverends Andrew Reed and Thomas Mattheson. as a deputation from the; Presbyterian churches of Scotland, visited the Preebyterian churches of America. and in their journeys came to and fully appreciated Niagara. In the history of their travels, in addition to expressing their admiration thereof, they left on record the following statement, which stands as the earliest public suggestion of an- international reservation at this place: "Niagara does not belong to Canada or America; Such spots should be deemed the property of civilized mankind and nothing should be allowed to weaken their efficacy on the tastes, the and the enjoyment of all "Fifty years later their suggestion became a reality; and what In 1S34 was the far-sighted individual Opinion of two eminent divines, became in ISSio. by the action the! State of New York, supplemented in 1S8 by the action of the Province of i Ontario, an accomplished fact; sanctioned by the nearty indorsement of leading men everywhere and enacted by the votes of the elected representatives of the people, its fulfillment has been applauded and valued more and more each year br humanity in general.

"During the decade ftnd a half of Free Niagara's existence, i all but two or three of the sciores of unsightly structures that marred the harmony of the surroundings of-the Niagara of oid have been removed. jand in their stead restored banks, grassy graceful shrubbery and beautiful 1 natural nvironments greet the eye. This gratifying result has been effected almost ion the main For the Goat Island save for the mill or, as it Js now called. Green I (perhapg the most unsightly struc-i ture ever erected.

"The experimental stage of Free Niagara, determining whether the state's action in reference thereto would be appreciated by the people, and the falls visited by them In increased numbers, has long since been passed, and Is answered by a hearty affirmative. In recording this gratifying verdict at the commencement of the 20th century, the people strongly recommend a continuance and even an extension of that liberal policy on the part of the state which has made the. reservation the beautiful cpat if is today. "An elevator and new staircase, by which easy access should be afforded to the debris slope below Goat Island, has heretofore been recommended and Is more urgently needed each; yca.r.

Below the banfc here is the; jCave of the Winds, which affords not only the most distinctly unique trip, at Niagara, byi means of which are to be obtained otherwise unobtainableviews i of little known and marvelous scenery, but the only place where one may nass -comnletelv arming tandi behind the falling- sheet of water. i ne oniy access to this Out comparatively little visited debris slope is by the winding stairway called the Biddle Stair, in honor of Nicholas Biddle of United States Bank fame, who is credited with having i me unners ot Moat lSiana this means of accomplishing the descent, and Is further said to have; offered to share the expense) of their construction, although this philanthropic part of his suggestion was declined. Having been In use for: nearly three-quarters of a century, they should be replaced by a more substantial, safe and more modern means of descent. "It Is again recommended that a typographical survey of the Falls' be authorized and provided for. The value of tne survey ten years ago, and furnishing in connection wth several prior-surveys a mlnyte and accurate record, not only of the recession of the Falls themselves, but of the changes, erosive and creative.

"With the facilities afforded by the new shelter building, it will become merely the protection for the upper end of the Inclined railway, and it is urged that an appropriation be granted for the purposle of demolishing this building, and substituting In its place a suitable permanent structure located below the level of the land, whose roof shall be raised so little, If any, above the surface as to offer no obstruction to the view." jv 1 REPAIRS FOR SCHOOL. i East Aurora.
