acres, which has since been curtailed by the sale of about 200 acres. The capital stock was, about 1883-84, increased to $50,000, and a large hotel, facing upon a fine lawn and overlooking the river, was erected. The park contains about 400 cottages, and is supplied with a general store, meat market, book store, plumber's shop, and other trade conveniences. A post- office is located here, and a deputy customs office is stationed here during the season of navigation.
The tabernacle, erected at the head of St. Lawrence avenue, will seat 3,500 people, and for a period of about a month, in July and August, interesting lectures, meetings, concerts, etc., are held almost daily. A system of sewer- age has been inaugurated. Water from the river is forced by a steam pump. to the reservoir tanks on the mountain, from whence it is very generally dis- tributed to cottages about the park. The present officers are George P. Folts, president; O. P. Hadcock, treasurer; and W. R. Fitch, secretary.
The Westminster Park Association of the Thousand Islands was incorpo- rated in 1875 with a capital stock of $50,000, divided into shares of $100. each. In 1877 the capital stock was reduced to $30,000. The association purchased 500 acres on the northwest point of Wells Island, known on Owen's chart as Point Victoria, having nearly five miles.of water front in the mean- ders of the shore. In addition to this purchase there has also been made another, of Isle Mary, or Picnic Point, of 25 acres area, separated from the park by a narrow channel a few feet in width, connected with the park by a bridge. The enterprise, though inaugurated under the auspices of the Presbyterians, is not intended to be strictly denominational. Extensive improvements have been made, a good hotel (H. F. Inglehart, prop.) and numerous fine cottages erected, and withal the park is, with other resorts upon the river, growing in patronage. It is connected by steamer with Alexandria Bay.
Round Island Park was incorporated in 1879 with a capital of $50,000, in shares of $100. The island contains about 175 acres, and has been laid out into 400 lots, besides avenues, ornamental parks, picnic grounds, etc. It is one mile long and from 800 to 1,200 feet wide, and lies about a quarter of a mile from the mainland, and a mile and a-half from Clayton village. This park was originally under the especial patronage of the Baptists, but its. management is now non-sectarian. A dock 260 feet long and 14 feet in depth was built, and in 1880 an hotel 50 by 200 feet, four stories high, was erected. In 1889 the hotel was enlarged and greatly improved, and will now accommodate between 400 and 500 guests.
Central Park is located upon the mainland, about midway between Alex- andria Bay and Thousand Island Park. This park was incorporated about 1881, with a capital stock of $25,000. A commodious hotel, now under the management of H. F. Inglehart, and 12 cottages have been erected, with suf- ficient dockage and other improvements, making about $40,000 invested. The present officers are Byron B. Taggart, president ; O. G. Staples, vice- president ; Joseph Atwell, Jr., secretary ; S. T. Woolworth, treasurer.

Grand View Park was surveyed and laid out as a public park in 1885. It is located on the northwestern point of Wells or Wellesley Island, on what was given the name of " Oporto Head " on Captain Owen's chart of 1818, and contains about 25 acres. It is the enterprise of Hamilton Child, of Syracuse, who, in 1886, erected a cottage and commenced the extensive im- provements which have greatly enhanced the natural beauty of this pictures- que spot. Since then the cottage has been enlarged and used as an hotel, and numerous private residences have been erected. For so recent a venture its growth has been phenomenal, owing largely, no doubt. to its central location and contiguity to the best fishing-grounds in the Thousand Island region. This park has 228 building lots. It has almost hourly connection by steamer with Thousand Island Park.
Grennell Island Park is the property of Samuel B. Grennell, who for more than 30 years has resided on a small island near that upon which the park is located, and with which it is connected by a bridge. This park was started about 1882, and is situated upon what is known on the early charts as Stew- art or Jeffers Island, which lies south of Wells Island, opposite Thousand Island Park. A new hotel has been erected on the small island, which is owned by J. I. Sayles, of Rome, and will be ready for occupancy during the season of 1890. Several private cottages have been erected on the larger island.
Prospect Park occupies a tract of 50 acres upon Bartlett Point, about a mile above the depot at Clayton. It has been laid out into lots and streets, and a considerable amount of grading and improvement has been done ; but it has not as yet attracted much attention from island visitors. The point commands a fine prospect, and was the scene of an engagement in the War of 1812-15.
Edgewood Park is located upon the mainland, near the village of Alexan- dria Bay. A fine hotel, or club house, and several cottages have been erected here. It contains about 30 acres, and has been incorporated by the Edge- wood Park Association, composed mostly of gentlemen from Cleveland, Ohio.
Murray Hill Park .- Hancock or Murray Island will hereafter be known as Murray Hill Park. The island has been purchased of Captain J. A. Taylor, the former owner, by a syndicate of capitalists, who are now (May, 1890) surveying and laying it out in lots and avenues. The island is well located, and no doubt will, in due time, become a very popular place of summer resort.
INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.
The first effort to improve the facilities for travel in this section of the state was probably made in 1791, when Arthur Noble and Baron Steuben petitioned the legislature of the state of New York for a road " from the Little Falls on the Mohawk River to the falls on the Black River which runs
8*

into Lake Ontario." The committee in the legislature to whom the petition was referred reported in favor of the project, but we have not been able to ascertain that anything further was accomplished. The first settlers found their way into the country by using the navigable channel of Black River from the High Falls to the present village of Carthage, or by the tedious and peril- ous navigation of the lake, by way of Oswego.
The French road .- In anticipation of settlement Rodolph Tillier, agent of the French Company, had caused to be opened a route from the High Falls, east of Black River, to near the great bend, from which it continued in a line nearly direct to the present village of Clayton. A branch from this diverged from the head of navigation on Black River Bay, but these roads, though cleared and the stumps removed, had no bridges, and consequently were of no use to the early settlers. This road fell entirely into disuse, and it is doubtful whether a rod of it is now traveled.
The Oswegatchie road .- The first traveled road in the county north of Black River owes its origin to Judge Nathan Ford, of Ogdensburg. The road extended from Ogdensburg to Turin, in Lewis County, and thence to Albany. It entered Jefferson County at Ox Bow, in the town of Antwerp, where it met the Black River road, on the opposite side of the river. Judge Ford, in a letter to Samuel Ogden, announced " having finished cutting the road, and all the logs turned, excepting about eight miles, and the party goes out to-morrow morning to finish that ; after which, I think, the road may be said to be passable for sleighs, although there is considerable digging yet to be done, as well as crossways."
The road was first opened by a subscription among the landholders, and its continuation through Lewis County was long known as the Oswegatchie road. The sums raised by these means proved inadequate to build the road of the character which the country demanded, and narrow, sectional, and local jeal- ousies were found to embarrass the enterprise.
It was next attempted, with success, to obtain state patronage for this work; and on April 9, 1804, a lottery was created for the purpose of raising the sum of $22,000 to construct a road from Troy to Greenwich, and " from or near the head of Long Falls, in the county of Oneida, to the mills of Nathan Ford, at Oswegatchie, in St. Lawrence County." The latter was to be six rods wide, and Nathan Ford, Alexander J. Turner, and Joseph Edsell were appointed commissioners for making it. Of the above sum $12,000 was appropriated for this road. The summer of 1805 was devoted to the loca- tion and opening of the road, and on October 26, 1805, Judge Ford wrote : " I have just returned from laying out the State road between Ogdensburg and the Long Falls, upon Black River, and I am happy to tell you we have made great alterations (from the old road) for the better, also as well as shortening the distance."

STATE ROADS.
An act was passed March 26, 1803, for opening and improving certain great roads of the state with the proceeds of a lottery, to be drawn under the supervision of Philip Ten Eyck, Thomas Storm, William Henderson, Mat- thias B. Tallmadge, and Jacobus Van Shoonhoven. The fund so raised was intended to be chiefly applied to the opening of roads in the Black River country, and was limited to $41,500. Nathan Sage, Henry Huntington, and Jacob Brown were appointed commissioners for opening a road from Salina, and thence through Redfield to Champion and St. Lawrence County, and these were, by an act passed April 9, 1804, authorized and empowered to make such deviations on said route as they deemed proper, nothwithstanding the provisions of the original act.
Jacob Brown, Walter Martin, and Peter Schuyler where appointed under the act of March 26, 1803, to locate the road through the Black River valley, which, for a long time, was known as the State road, and $30,000 were ex- pended under that act. Silas Stow acted a short time as one of the com- missioners, both on the Black River and the Johnstown section, with Brown, Martin, and Schuyler. By an act of April 8, 1808, Augustus Sacket, David I. Andrus, and John Meacham were empowered to lay out a public road four rods wide, "commencing at such place in Brownville and Hounsfield as shall, in the opinion of the commissioners, best unite with the great road leading from Rome to the River St. Lawrence at Putnam's ferry, and pursu- ing such route as in their opinion shall best accommodate the public in gen- eral, to the village of Salina."
By an act of April 2, 1813, the surveyor-general was "authorized and re- quired to sell and dispose of so much of the unappropriated lands of this state, on a credit of 12 months, lying in the county of Oneida, called the Fish Creek land, as shall raise the sum of $4,000 ; and the same is hereby appropriated for improving the road from Sackets Harbor, on Lake Ontario, to the village of Rome, in the county of Oneida, being the road heretofore laid out by commissioners appointed by the state, and pay the same over to Henry Huntington, Clark Allen, and Dan Taft, who are hereby appointed superintendents to take charge of the expenditures of said sum, for the ob- jects aforesaid."
An act was passed April 1, 1814, appointing William Smith, George Bray- ton, and Benjamin Wright to lay out a road from Salina to Smith's Mills (Adams), to intersect at that place the State road from Rome, through Red- field and Lorraine, to Brownville. The road was completed to Adams, and was long known as the Salt Point road. In 1816 a State road was directed to be laid out from Lowville to Henderson Harbor, which was surveyed, but the whole of it was not opened. A road from French Creek to Watertown was, by an act of April 1, 1824, directed to be made under the supervision of
120
JEFFERSON COUNTY.
Amos Stebbins, Azariah Doane, and Henry H. Coffeen. By an act of April 19, 1834, Loren Bailey, Azariah Walton, and E. G. Merrick were appointed to lay out a road along the St. Lawrence, from near the line of Lyme and Clayton, to Chippewa Bay, in Hammond. The cost, not exceeding $100 per mile, was to be taxed to adjacent lands ; and in 1836, 1838, and 1839 the act was amended and extended. April 4, 1841, a State road was authorized to be laid out from Carthage to Lake Champlain, which was subsequently surveyed and opened the whole distance.
The enterprise of individual proprietors led, at an early day, to the open- ing of extended lines of roads, among which were the Morris and Hammond road, the Alexandria road, etc. The tour of President Monroe in 1817 proba- bly led to the project of uniting the two prominent military stations of Platts- burgh and Sackets Harbor by a military road, which was soon after begun. A report of John C. Calhoun, then Secretary of War, dated January 7, 1819,. mentions this among other national works then in progress. The labor was. done by relief parties of soldiers from these garrisons, who received an extra allowance of 15 cents and a gill of whisky daily. The western extremity,. from Sackets Harbor, through Brownville, Pamelia Four Corners, and Red- wood, to Hammond, and from Plattsburgh to the east line of Franklin County, only were completed. The care of the general government ended with the opening of these roads, and the portion in this county has been maintained as a town road.
TURNPIKES.
The Oneida and Jefferson Turnpike Company was incorporated April 8, 1808, for the purpose of making a road from Rome via Redfield and Malta (Lorraine) to Putnam's ferry, on the St. Lawrence. The persons named in the act were Nathan Sage, Peter Colt, Augustus Sacket, Jacob Brown, David Smith, and Eliphalet Edmonds ; capital, 4,700 shares of $25 each. A company with the same name and a capital of $20,000 was chartered May 3,. 1834, but never got into efficient operation. The commissioners named were Elisha Camp, Thomas C. Chittenden, Clark Allen, Ira Seymour, Nelson. Darley, and Alanson Bennet.
The St. Lawrence Turnpike Company, formed April 5, 1810, of 29 leading landholders of Northern New York, headed by J. Le Ray, built, in 1812-13, a turnpike from a point five and a half miles north of Carthage to Bangor, Franklin County. They were, in 1813, released from completing the termini, which had originally been intended to be the Long Falls and Malone. The road was opened under the supervision of Russell Attwater, and built from the proceeds of lands subscribed for its construction along the route. Dur- ing the war it was a source of great profit, but afterwards fell into disuse, and the company was, by an act of April, 1826, allowed to abandon it to the public.
The Ogdensburg Turnpike Company, formed June 8, 1812. capital $50,000; and mainly sustained by David Parish, soon after built a turnpike from Car-

thage to Ogdensburg, by way of Antwerp, Rossie, and Morristown. This was also, by act of April, 1826, surrendered to the public. By an act passed March 30, 1811, the governor was to appoint commissioners to lay out two turnpikes. One of these was to pass from Lowville, by way of Munger's Mills and Watertown, to Brownville; the other from Munger's Mills to Sackets Harbor.
On February 13, 1812, James Le Ray asked permission of the legislature to make a turnpike road from Chaumont, in the town of Brownville, to Cape Vincent, and from the Black River, opposite the village of Watertown, to inter- sect the St. Lawrence turnpike road at or near where the same crossed the Indian River, in the town of Le Ray. The war which soon ensued diverted attention for a time from this improvement ; but in March, 1815, an act was passed empowering Le Ray to build the Cape Vincent turnpike from that place to Perch River. On April 12, 1816, he was allowed to extend the road to Brownville village. By an act of April 21, 1831, this road was surrendered to the public, and with it ended the era of turnpikes in the county.
PLANK ROADS.
The first plank road in the county was completed in 1848, and extended from Watertown to Sackets Harbor. The Lowville and Carthage Plank Road was inspected August 4, 1849. The Carthage and Antwerp Plank Road was inspected November 13, 1849. The Sterling Bush and North Wilna Plank Road, connecting the last road with the village of Louisburg, or Sterling Bush, in Lewis County, was finished about 1854. The Gouverneur, Somerville, and Antwerp Plank Road was inspected November 14, 1849. A continuous line of plank roads connected this with Ogdensburg, Canton, and the depot of Canton and Madrid on the Northern Railroad, and one mile from Antwerp village with the Hammond, Rossie, and Antwerp Plank Road, in- spected October 24, 1850, 20 miles in length, passing through Rossie vallage, and connecting with the village of Morristown. At the village of Ox Bow it connected with the Evans Mills and Ox Bow Plank Road, 17 miles long, completed in June, 1852. The Pamelia and Evans Mills Plank Road, con- tinuing this route to Watertown, was completed in June, 1850. Antwerp and Watertown were connected by the Antwerp, Sterlingville, and Great Bend Plank Road, completed in August, 1849, and the Watertown and Great Bend Plank Road, completed late in the same year. The latter passed through the villages of Black River and Felt's Mills. At the village of Great Bend this and the former road connected with the Great Bend and Copenhagen Plank Road, completed in November, 1849. This road passed through Champion village, and connected with the Rutland and Champion Plank Road, which extended from Copenhagen to within three and a half miles of Watertown village, and was completed in August, 1849. This line was continued to
122
JEFFERSON COUNTY.
Watertown village by the Watertown Plank and Turnpike Road, which was completed in September, 1849.
The Watertown Central Plank Road, two miles long, completed in August, 1849, was at first designed to connect with other roads, forming a line of plank roads to Syracuse, but the building of the railroad necessitated the abandonment of the plan. The Adams and Ellisburgh Plank Road was completed in June, 1849, and connected with roads to Syracuse, Oswego, etc. The Dexter, Brownville, and Pamelia Plank Road, connecting Pamelia vil- lage with Dexter, was completed in October, 1850. It was continued by the Dexter and Limerick Plank Road to the town line of Lyme, towards Cape Vincent, completed in May, 1850. It also connected with the Dexter and Hounsfield Plank Road, which ran from Dexter to the Watertown and Sackets Harbor Road near the latter place. A line of roads from Alexandria Bay to Watertown was projected, and mostly finished, consisting of the Theresa and Alexandria Bay Plank Road, 12 miles long, completed in December, 1849, and the Theresa Plank Road, towards Evans Mills, of which about four miles were completed in July, 1852. The Theresa and Clayton Plank Road, between these places, was completed in June, 1850. This road passed through La Fargeville.
These roads generally contributed much to the prosperity of the country for a time, until the railroads were extended through the county, when the system was abandoned and the lines transformed into graveled or ordinary turnpikes. Nothing now remains to remind the traveler of their existence, save here and there a piece of scantling or broken plank.
RAILROADS.
The Watertown and Rome Railroad was incorporated April 17, 1832. The company was empowered to build a railroad from Rome to Watertown, and thence to St. Lawrence River or Lake Ontario, or both, with a capital of $1,000,000, in shares of $100. The charter, which was repeatedly revived and amended, was never allowed to expire, and after years of patient and preserving effort the road was opened. Work was commenced at Rome in November, 1848, and soon after at other important points, and the road was so far completed as to allow the passage of trains to Camden in the fall of 1849. May 28, 1851, the road was completed to Pierrepont Manor, and a large party from Watertown, Rome, and other sections assembled to cele- brate the era of the entrance of the first railroad train into Jefferson County. The first engine reached Watertown September 5, at 1 1 o'clock at night, and on the 24th of the same month its completion to that place was again cele- brated with festivities. On November 20 it was finished to Chaumont and in April, 1852, to Cape Vincent. The first officers were Orville Hungerford, president ; Clark Rice, secretary ; and Orville V. Brainard, treasurer. Mr. Hungerford died before the road was completed, and on April 10, 1851,
123

Hon. William C. Pierrepont was elected president. The total length of the line was 97{ miles, and its total cost $1,957,992.
In January, 1852, a company was organized to construct a road from Watertown to Potsdam Junction, a point on the Vermont Central Railroad, which latter extends from Ogdensburg to Rouse's Point, at the foot of Lake Champlain. The Potsdam branch, 76 miles in length, was completed in 1854, and up to 1860 was called the Potsdam and Watertown Railroad, when it came into the possession of the Watertown and Rome Railroad Company. In 1861-62 the latter company put down a track from De Kalb Junction, a point on the Potsdam and Watertown road, to Ogdensburg, a distance of 19 miles, and the roads were consolidated and the names changed by the legis- lature to the Rome, Watertown, and Ogdensburg Railroad Company.
In 1866 the Oswego and Rome Railroad, extending from Oswego 29 miles to Richland, was put in operation and leased to the R., W. & O. The Syra- cuse Northern Railroad, extending from Syracuse to Sandy Creek Junction on the R., W. & O. R. R., was completed in 1870, and in 1875 was consoli- dated with the latter. The Lake Ontario Shore Railroad, running from Oswego west to Charlotte (Rochester's port of entry), and to its western ter- minus at Niagara Falls and Suspension Bridge, ont he Niagara River, 150 miles, was also merged in the R., W. & O. in January, 1875.
The Utica and Black River Railway was opened from Utica to Boonville, Oneida County, a distance of 35 miles, in 1855. In 1868 the line was put in operation to Lowville, Lewis County, a further distance of 24 miles. In 1872 it reached Carthage, 16 miles farther. The original plan to construct a line to Clayton, Morristown, and Ogdensburg, on the St. Lawrence River, was not immediately carried out. While the division between Lowville and Carthage was in course of construction a company was organized in Water- town, under the title of Carthage, Watertown, and Sackets Harbor Railroad Company, and a road constructed in 1872, from Watertown to Carthage, 18 miles, which was completed about the time the Utica and Black River Com- pany reached the same point. Upon the completion of the road from Wa- tertown to Carthage it was leased to the Utica and Black River Company.
In 1873 the Clayton and Theresa Railroad was completed, mainly through the efforts of Alden F. Barker and Russell B. Biddlecom, and in 1885 was consolidated with the Utica and Black River system. In 1874 the Carthage, Watertown, and Sackets Harbor Company completed a road from Watertown to Sackets Harbor, which was the same year leased to the Utica and Black River line.
The Black River and Morristown Railway filed articles of incorporation with the secretary of state March 22, 1870. The capital stock was fixed at $600,000, and Philadelphia, in Jefferson County, and Morristown, in St. Lawrence County, were made the termini of the road. The length of the proposed line was 37 miles. The railroad was opened from Philadelphia to Theresa, a distance of eight miles, in December, 1872, and by October, 1873,

the work was nearly completed. On October 29, 1873, the company contracted with the Utica and Black River Railway Company to complete the road, giving that company the use of the road for eight years, and trans- ferring to them the unexpended balance of $500,000 in bonds issued by the Black River and Morristown Company. Under this contract the road was completed and opened to Redwood in November, 1874, and to Morristown in November, 1875. Connection was soon after made to Ogdensburg. It remained under the control of the U. & B. R. R. R. until the latter was leased to the R. W. & O.
On April 15, 1886, the Rome, Watertown, and Ogdensburg Railroad leased the lines of the Utica and Black River Railroad, and since that time the lines have been under one management, the system being known as the Rome, Watertown, and Ogdensburg Railroad Company. The general offices of the company are located at Oswego, and the following are its present officers : Charles Parsons, president, New York ; Charles Parsons, Jr., vice-president, New York ; J. A. Lawyer, secretary and treasurer, New York ; R. E. Smiley, assistant secretary, Watertown ; E. S. Bowen, general manager, Oswego ; Edwin Parsons, assistant general manager and general purchasing agent, New York ; M. B. Sloat, auditor, Oswego ; L. A. Emer- son, general traffic manager, New York ; F. W. Parsons, general freight agent, Oswego ; Theodore Butterfield, general passenger agent, Oswego ; H. T. Frary, paymaster and traveling agent, Oswego; G. H. Haseltine, superintendent of motive power and machinery, Oswego; W. W. Curries, superintendent transportation, Oswego ; W. S. Jones, superintendent middle and eastern divisions, Watertown ; H. W. Hammond, assistant superintend- ent eastern division, Carthage ; J. H. McEwan, assistant superintendent western division, Oswego.
