HOW'S YOUR PROPERTYr"
One hundred and sixty-nine descend¬ ants of Samuel Wood, whj in 1780 purchased the 8S0 acres of land known as Iloj; Island, lying belween the main¬ land and what is now Long Beach for 700 .C English money, have I'egun pro¬ ceedings to establish their allege.1 rights to title to the property.
Hog Island is known contemporane¬ ously as Barnum Island, said Barnum having been a clo'liier In od Catham street, New York, more than a gener¬ ation ago. II was on Barnum Island that there was for years maintained the poorest and certainlj?''one of the most notorious poor farms iu the coun¬ try, it was a political in.stitulion main¬ tained primarily as an agency for mak¬ ing money and qu'te incidentally as a haven for paupers. So iiiuch for the farm's liistory.
Tile large and intere.«tlnu point in connection wilh lhe legal proceedings is lhat it has become necessary after l.'Jt years for the heirs of an early owner to seek the courts to flnd out whether their claims are of value.
M. E. Pinnegan, the attorney, for the decendants of the owner of revolution¬ ary days, says it is not of record that any of the Wood descendants ever parted with their shares in the prop erly. II is also a fact that they did not concern tbeulselvc!. with respec" to their rights in the e.slate.
The courts from ti.r.e lo time are called upon lo .straigliten out tangles of this sort- tangles which would never have been possiide had compe¬ tent lawyers bem consulted and ex¬ amination made of wills, deeds, etc.
In olden times when lawyers were few and a trip to the county clerk and register of deeds meant the loss of a day, il was not lo be wondered at that the people Bometinies neglected to look afler their property interest'). There is no such excuse uow, still, out of every hundred men there are easily half a dozi n who permit these aflairs to remain In such a slip shod way that the courts will ultimately have to decide about them.
Any man or woman who owns property ought to hav^^ a good, trust¬ worthy lawyer.

Long Island. The farmer, the mer- I chant, the manufacturer the shipper— all should be presenl aud a.ssist in lh" formulation of a programme which will cover in an effective and thorough way the claims of this great commun¬ ity to the governments recognition.
Two propositions are to be consid¬ ered in connection with the main sub¬ ject. One relates to the w'lllnKnes-: of the -towns along the proposed waterway to deed the canal lo the gov¬ emment as part oi the K<>deral sys¬ tem of waterways.
The other is as lo thc attitude i- the towns with rtspect to assuminc the expense of making tov\n channel conections with the main canal.
We feel safe In saying Ih^t the pub¬ lic spirit which is behind 'he move¬ ment for the canal itself would be prepared to guarantee alliri.native ac¬ tion on the two collateral propositions
New census flgures Just I'li.tliconiin}' from Washington .-how that Brooklyn has 1,8.'!3,696 population, or nearly 300,000 more than Philadc.phia aad that Queens Borough has 379,886, which is more than the po]>ulatjou ot New Orleans. Nassau and .Suffolk bring Long Island up to two million and a quarter, a population greatly in excess of that of a doe'/:: different states.
Loug Island is deserving of sreiti commercial development. Nature ha.s provided a basis for such de^elopmeni In the connecting Lays streUnliig east¬ ward from Jamaica to PeC'.'nic. The I'nited Stales government can cot'i plete that development by lh« wate.- way canal.
Congressman Brown is dt, erving of praise for undertaking to f,ei this pro¬ ject moving toward a sta','e where something will be done. He is entitled lo, and must havo, the cooperation of the men of energy.
The Nassau Post hopes io see the conference of the sixteenth .speck th.'' voice of Long Island in no uncertain tones. The conference shoald name a delegation to Washington .vhicli will be able to present Long isia \n f- needs and Lopg Island's greatnes- in a way lo make thtm convincing.
There's a chance to do a big thiag for Long Island. Men wno are larg< enough to be improved b> ile oppor tunity and strong enough to urge tbe need with spirit aud e^rnertness should volunteer for the work.
