The Crystal Springs Lakes VIII Not Be
Opened This Year

The Crystal Springs Lakes VIII Not Be
Opened This Year.
1t has been definitely decided by the di-
reetors of the Spring Valley Water Com
pany that San Andreas Lake will be
open to anglers on the 1st of July. aud that
neither of the Crystal Springs lakes will be-
opened this year.
In the Crystal Springs, especially the
lower lake. the bass are said to be so plenti-
full that they actually prey upon each other
and no doubt hundreds of young bass are
killed by the large fellows, who are now
minus the minnows and sticklebscks which
were so plentiful In the Crystal Lakes few
years ago. The increase OF bass Is tie
means of decrease in the food supply. In
the opinion of expert anglers and pisclcul-
turists the company would add TO the popu-
lation of the bass family in the above lakes
If it permitted anglers TO ish on condition
that bass under half pound in weight
must nos be taken.
1t is wel-known fact that there are
schools of bass in the Crystal Springs Lake,
the smallest of which will weigh Que pound.

young ones must disappear, for, as pre-
viOuSly stated, the miniature fishes, which
were so plentiful a few years ago. nave

Reports are daily arriving from the coast
streams OF the large baskets of small FISH,
principally fingeTlings, which are taken by
the lovers of fly casting. Occasionally some
fairly goods Zed trout or salmon fry, more
properly speaking-uOtwithsta state
mentS to the cOntrary-are taken by expert
fly casters, who contend that trout of one
pound weight are very scarce FISH ia the
coast streams. This assertion is uudOubt-
eddy true, tIat is of streams which at this
season of the year run almost dry, but then
if the advocates Of fly-casting VIII,
after dusk i'm sCmo of the deep pools which
are supposed to contain only fish of the
lingering kind, q change in their opinions
of the streams and the size OF the FISH
therein will most certainly occur. Expert
enced anglers, who have made study Of
coast stream fishing, are well aware that at
this season If the year the large fish feed
only at night, and theu bOttoni-fShiug must
be done to capture the prize beauties. a

Last Tuesday gentleman returned from
Bowlder Creek with q very handsome mess
of trout" a number of which must have
been over half a pound. He eamped on the
bank of the stream and caught the large
fish at night In pools from which only M
gerlings were taken by fly" anglers during
the day.

UNCLE SAM.

Edward Pulver, son of John H. Pulver, died on Sunday morning at ten o'clock at the home of his father in this town. He would have been 27 years old had he lived until his next birthday this coming December. The cause of his death was consumption. He came here six weeks ago from New Milford where he had been working. He leaves wife and two children, one seven and the other one year old.
 Much sympathy is expressed for MT John H. Pulver and all the family. Last March, at time when the weather was very cold, Mir Pulver was burned out oi house and home at East Canaan. In September of this year his son Charles died, and now he mourns the loss of an other son.
 Edward Pulver is highly spoken of by all who knew him.
 Dr Eddy conducted the funeral ser. vices which were held at the house on Wednesday at 2 o'clock p. m. The bur. ial was in the lower cemetery. Among the floral tributes was beau tiful column, three feet high, from hit fellow employees of the Bridgeport Wood Finishing Go. at New Milford. The pail bearers were Martin R Rood, B. A. Peirce, ID. Peirce, Lewis Rhoades, c. Willis Parsons and Fred erick Collin.

The charge pass ed through the leg little below the knee, badly shattering bone and mus cle. Dr Bissell and son, also Dr Burtch, were summoned and were obliged to amputate the leg below the knee. At first serious doubts were entertained as to his recovery, as he was very weak from loss of blood, but at this writing he is doing as we'll as can be expected under the circumstances. Much sym pathy is expressed for him, as well as for the family.

Our Public Records.

We do not think that 1t is generally known or realized, but it is nevertheless fact, that this town is not keeping it's public records safe from destruction by fire. The records have increased to such an extent since the safe was pur- chased, some years ago, that already many of the probate records, two of the probate record books, one of the land record books, the register of births, deaths and marriages, and other import ant documents cannot be put into the safe for want of room. If any of these records should be burned or lost, and anybody should suffer loss thereby, the town would be held liable in damages. "It is condition that confronts us, not theory"
 It is also true that the town has no place where 8 justice of the peace court or probate court can be held or where the selectmen cau hold their meetings. We know that it is only necessary to make this state of things known and the intelligence and public spirit of this town will provide the rem- edy. Three propositions have been suggested: To buy the town hall prop erty, to buy the tobacco warehouse, or to buy lot and put up a building on on it large enough to meet all the above mentioned wants.
 At the October town meeting a com mittee of two was appointed to ascertain and report what course should be adop- ted to preserve the public records. We understand that the committee are .ln- clined to favor the construction of a fire proof vault, but before making their report the committee desire that all these matters to which we have alluded should be fdlly discussed at an informal meeting of the citizens of this town. Accordingly all citizens of North Ca- naan are invited to meet at A. T. Rora- backs office on Saturday evening, Nov em ber 26. at 7.30 o'clock.

WANTED: HONEST ELECTIONS.

It is high time that the practice of buying votes at elections should be bro- ken up. All right minded and thought ful men of all parties are alarmed and disgusted at the prevalence of this abuse. It is self evident that in country like ours, where the federal and state gov ernments are established on the princi- pie that majorities should rule, it IS most dangerous to allow rich men and rich corporations, by bribing men to vote for them, to prevent the free, hon. est and intelligent expression of the popular will. It is an evil which can not but undermine the very foundations of our governments.
 The secret ballot laws are good as far as they go. They protect voters from intimidation of all kinds, and they make the purchase of 'foaters" very uncer- tain business. But these laws do not go far enough; they do not go to the root of the matter. We want laws which will prevent candidates for office from using money for anything but the absolutely necessary expenses of carry ing on a political campaign. They have such laws in Great Britain, and the result of their enforcement is that bribery at elections is practically un- known there. The best law of the kind in this country is the one which went into effect in Massachusetts in August of this year. It requires the filing of a sworn detailed statement, by candidates for office and political committees. of all campaign receipts and disburse- ments; it forbids the levying of con- tributions on candidates, and it makes it crime for persons to promise money or patronage to promote their nomina- tion or election to office.
 We are soon to have legislature in working order and we hope that a law modelled after the one in Massachusetts, but supplying some of it's defects, will be enacted Such law would have the support of large majority oi the people of Connecticut of all parties Its immediate enactment is one of the most urgent needs of the hour.

The Connecticut Masonic lodges do not intend to be much longer behind other fraternities in the matter of estab- fishing home for their aged and infirm members. At recent meeting of the board of managers of the Charity Foun- dation, held in Hartford. the president, l.. A Lockwood, of Riverside, and J. K.
