Do You Feel Safe In Your Summer Home? A cottage with no chimney is unhandy.

A cottage with a makeshift chimney of brick is dan­gerous and a poor insurance risk.

A poor chimney is as dangerous as a grade crossing.

It is a question of whether being killed by a train or

burning to death is preferable.

The traveling public is being protected by the elim­

ination of grade crossings and the installation of

proper signals. The home-staying public ought to

be protected by modern chimneys of concrete blocks

with fireclay flue linings. Buy the material and

build your own, or let us build it for you.

We have a large stock of Fireplace Materials, also

Sheetrock, the board of a hundred uses.

Early Conesus Lake Days Out of the Past FATHERS AND SONS

DINE AT CONESUS

By E. R. BOLLES (Cont inued from last week)

.The first F o u r t h of J u l y w i t h t he old s t e amer was a g r ea t day, and we carr ied big loads of passengers t ak ­ing the i r first ride on the first s team­er on Conesus lake a t t h a t t ime, a n d r a n from ear ly in the morn ing un t i l very l a te a t n igh t , t he las t t r i p ge t ­t i ng s tuck in t he sandbar a t Lake-ville. t he pilot, Sam Hings ton , t he Jessie 's bui lder , be ing confused be­tween t h e only two l igh ts visible, one on t h e dock a n d the o t h e r in Billy Carnes ' house n e a r Camp R u n . I t w a s a n easy m a t t e r to break off however , by us ing all s team and shi f t ing t he passengers from one end of the boat to the o ther . We had a lot of fun wi th Pi lot Sam, and I learned a lot from him about get­t i n g a boa£ off a sandbar , which I used m a n y t imes thereaf te r a t Old Orchard a n d McPherson Poin ts , and sometimes a t Maple Beach. I do not remember t he year in which t h e old Jessie finally gave out , bu t she had carr ied many people and seen much service. I t is only a fe\v years ago t h a t t he eng ine removed from her when the hul l went bad was in use on the E r i e canal .

T h e s t eamer , McPherson, a big double-decker t h a t carr ied some 800 passengers , was bu i l t and launched e i ther in t he la te '70*s or ear ly '80 's , when the rai l road was completed be­tween Lakevil le and Conesus Lake Junc t ion , and was in t he excursion business, c a r ry ing picnics, societies, lodges and t h e like to t he var ious resor ts a round the lake, and mak ing "moon l igh t " t r ips once or twice a week, moon or no moon. On these

j excursions t h e old rel iable "Bullf rog I b a n d " of Lakevil le played for danc­

ing on the spacious decks. Th i s or­ches t ra was headed by Pete Mill iman, violin, and consisted main ly of Pete , who always, played "by e a r " in a l ­most perfect t ime ; Card Bryan t , sec­ond violin and caller for t he old-fash-joned dances ; Char l ie Mill iman, ban­jo, and Chauncey Shepard , bass viol. Th i s well-beloved old- t ime band of fiddlers was augmented a t t imes by o thers and was kep t fairly busy both win te r and summer .

T h e Muset te , a smal ler s teamer , or ig inal ly a t u g in tlie Buffalo ha r ­bor, was placed on the lake a shor t t ime before t he McPherson by the la te Dr. Nesbi t of Avon, and was a very fast l i t t le boat, hav ing t remen­dous s team power, and the re were a few o the r gasol ine boats . La te r on all the boa ts were combined In one l ine u n d e r Colonel McPherson 's man­agement , who was succeeded by Com­modore Wemet t . F ina l ly the McPher­son. which also towed a t t imes a large picnic barge , burned , the oth­ers wore out , and were replaced by the fleet of several boats bui l t by the Conesus Lake Navigat ion company and managed by Capta in Dan Walk-Icy, one of t h e most genia l and ca­pable men who ever handled naviga­tion on an in land lake . Capta in Dan still lives oil Ihe east side of lite lake and has discarded the blue uniform of the fresh wa te r navy and donned the khaki of the farmer and fruit grower, and in the l anguage of Hip Van Winkle , "may he live long and ' b r o s b e r V

Aft<r the automobiles came, the s t eamer business began to fall off. and when they came faster the boats stopped business, were hauled up on

j the shore, and the i r mach inery sold. There is now no s t eamer on the lake larger than the l i t t le ferries tha t run
