It was incorporated in the year 1851 by the State of Massachusetts, which \A^as the first in the Union to inaugurate an "Insurance Department," thus instituting State supervision over its companies. It was also the first State to legislate concerning the forfeiture of policies of life insurance ; its famous non-forfeiture law was passed in 1861 and amended in 1880. By the recent act of 1887, life insurance legislation has reached a degree of perfection heretofore unknown. THIS Law requires that all policies issued by THE MASSACHUSETTS MUTUAL LIFE INSUR- ANCE COMPANY shall be non-forfeitable after the payment of two annual premiums, without any further stipulation or act. This naakes the amount of paid-up insurance to which the policyholder may be entitled, under any circunistances, absolutely guaranteed. He may forget his policy, but his policy will never forget him. Also, that after the payment of two annual premiums, the insured may, on any subsequent anniversary of the date of issue of said policy, surrender the same, and claim and recover from the Company its "Surrender Value in Cash." Said Cash Value is fixed by the law itself and cannot be changed. M. V. B. EDGERLY, President. JOHN A. HALL, Secretary. HENRY S. LEE, Vice-President. OSCAR B. IRELAND, Actuary. MASSASOIT HOUSE, W. H.

Just as the United States was the first true republic to endure and now has be- come the greatest republic the world has ever known, so the New York Central, one of the first important railroads to be established in America, has grown into a great transporta- tion system which, if it is not the foremost in the world, is at least among the very few in the front rank. In the development of the nation the New York Central Railroad has played an essential part. It became the principal highway over which flowed the stream of emigration to people the West, and it has remained the favorite ave- nue of communication between East and West for the descendants of these pioneer emigrants. Keeping pace with the demands upon it for transportation, the New York Central has de- veloped into a railroad system now known as The New York Central Lines, which moves about ten per cent of the aggregate amount of freight hauled by all the railroads as Measured in ton-miles, that is, one ton hauled one mile, 3 NEW Y-0 P.,K_ CENTELAL LIN ES ••• 04101110"r.- Grand Central Terminal, New York City, as it appears from Forty -second Street.

  • Fall in Love with the Falls: Salmon River Falls Unique Area by Salmon River Steward Luke Connor
    2008 Steward Series Fall in Love with the Falls: Salmon River Falls Unique Area By Salmon River Steward Luke Connor When visiting the Salmon River Falls Unique Area you may get to meet a Salmon River Steward. Salmon River Stewards serve as a friendly source of public information as they monitor “The Falls” and other public access sites along the Salmon River corridor. Stewards are knowledgeable of the area’s plants, wildlife, history, trails, and are excited to share that information with visitors. The Salmon River Falls Unique Area attracts tourists from both out of state and within New York. The Falls, located in Orwell, NY, is approximately 6 miles northeast of the Salmon River Fish Hatchery, and is on Falls Rd. Recent changes at The Falls have made them even more inviting. In 2003 the Falls Trail became compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The hard gravel trail allows people with various levels of physical abilities to use its flat surface. In 2008 the Riverbed Trail and the Gorge Trail each underwent enhancements by the Adirondack (ADK) Mountain Club, but are not ADA-compliant. The first recorded people to use the Salmon River Falls Unique Area were three Native American tribes of the Iroquois Nation: the Cayuga, Onondaga, and Oneida. Because the 110-ft-high waterfall served as the natural barrier to Atlantic Salmon migration, the Native American tribes, and likely European settlers, congregated at the Falls to harvest fish. In 1993 the Falls property was bought by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation with support from other organizations.

DEPARTMENT OP THE INTEKIOR, UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, Washington, D. C. , March 9, 190Jh SIR: I have the honor to transmit herewith, for publication as a bulletin, a gazetteer of West Virginia! Very respectfully, HENRY GANNETT, Geogwvpher. Hon. CHARLES D. WALCOTT, Director United States Geological Survey. 3 A GAZETTEER OF WEST VIRGINIA. HENRY GANNETT. DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE. The State of West Virginia was cut off from Virginia during the civil war and was admitted to the Union on June 19, 1863. As orig­ inally constituted it consisted of 48 counties; subsequently, in 1866, it was enlarged by the addition -of two counties, Berkeley and Jeffer­ son, which were also detached from Virginia. The boundaries of the State are in the highest degree irregular. Starting at Potomac River at Harpers Ferry,' the line follows the south bank of the Potomac to the Fairfax Stone, which was set to mark the headwaters of the North Branch of Potomac River; from this stone the line runs due north to Mason and Dixon's line, i. e., the southern boundary of Pennsylvania; thence it follows this line west to the southwest corner of that State, in approximate latitude 39° 43i' and longitude 80° 31', and from that corner north along the western boundary of Pennsylvania until the line intersects Ohio River; from this point the boundary runs southwest down the Ohio, on the northwestern bank, to the mouth of Big Sandy River.

  • Crisis of Rugged Individualism the West Shore—South Pennsylvania Railroad Affair, 1880-1885
    Crisis of Rugged Individualism The West Shore—South Pennsylvania Railroad Affair, 1880-1885 HE last quarter of the nineteenth century traditionally has been viewed as an era in which the economic development of Tthe nation was speeded by a social climate almost perfectly conducive to business enterprise. With a highly sympathetic govern- ment behind him and a docile, unorganized labor force at his disposal, the entrepreneur is supposed to have been free from the major im- ponderables of modern industrial life. Hardly less important, it has been widely assumed, was the businessman's almost complete free- dom to plan and execute projects with a minimum of worry about how his decisions might affect others of his own kind. A spirit of in- dividualism in the commitment of one's own property had, indeed, characterized the small, closely-held enterprises which made up American business from its beginnings down to the end of the Civil War. Few have questioned the extent to which rugged individualism continued to rule throughout the eighties in the rapidly expanding railroad industry, even though by 1880 the numerous individual en- terprises were rapidly being woven into an industry of highly inter- dependent units, into which Americans and Europeans had poured hundreds of millions of dollars of investment capital in the preceding thirty years. Such beliefs about the business climate of the eighties and nineties culminated in a stereotype of the late-nineteenth-century business- man which Edward C. Kirkland articulates with the words "primi- tive," "strong," "confident," and "enthusiastic."1 The successful undertakings of these men, he points out, have been emphasized so exclusively that some of the most disapproving writers have come 1 Edward C* Kirkland, Dream and Thought in the Business Community, 1860-1900 (Ithaca, 1956), 8.
