| GREAT UNDERTAKING.
aeelssleai survey Ohiriais 70 Dis
euss lfrsgatnen.


BOISE Stty 8ehs
An important conference will Dc
held in Boise on Saturday between
w. r. Griswold. who is at the head
Of the United States geological sur
,ey, and Professor Thompson, who
has charge Of the whole western d.
vision Of that important branch OF
federal work. The two officials will
DISCUSS the advissbility Of preparing
a. the earliest practicable season, a
complete typographical map Of the
great valley Of Snake river from Ea-
cle Rock. in Bingham county, to
American Falls, distance Of about
100 miles.
The object Of the proposed survey
will be 70 ascertain the feasibility
sad cost u so diverting the waters OF
snake river that nearly 2,O0o,OOO
acres Of now worthless sagebrush
land may be irrigated ana p'aceu
upder cultivation.
It's believed that sufficient vol
ume Of water can be taken FROM the
river near Eagle Rock to irrigate
100000 acres Of the surrounding
plain; and it is thought that = dam
thrown across the river near Americ-
an Falls will make II possible to COW
ar with water SOC, 900 acres OF arid
land lying between American Falls
and tho town Of Shoshone, in Logan
county.
Mr.. Griswold, who is one OF the
most competent engineers in the
west, thinks the great undertaking
could be accomplished, and he est''
mates the cost Of the entire work a
10000 900. The land thus reclaim
cd would be worth fully slb,ooo,Ooo
and would transform that portion O
southeastern Idaho from ssgebrusl
desert to : Aowery garden.
The land is now portion OF tn
public domain. 1t may be taken VI
by settlers, but the latter do not carr
for it unless they know that soone
or later they may secure abundance
Of irrigating water.
It Is tts purpose Of the government
to demonstrate that the land may b
placed under cultivation, knowing
that settlers and capitalists will sooI
push IN and supplant desolation witt
civilization.

Ex-senator Arkell says, in the Now
York Mail and Express: ain single
year, under the Mckinley bill, we
hsve become great producer of
fiaxseed for the manufacture Of lin
seed oil. Formerly we imported the
bulk OF the seed from Calcutta. My
friend, Hon. John Kellogg, the great
liEsssd oil manufacturer at Amster-
dam, and others who are in that bust
ness, sent out great quantities of seed
70 the farmers throughout the West,
and offered them the inducement Of
home market under the Mckinley
bill. What has been the result?
They are now buying 100000
bushels of fsxseed year from our
own farmers. At the same time the
price OF iinseed OF! under this in
creased tariff protection has gone
down from "a to 35 cents a gallon

APRIL A HEALTHY MONTH.
There Wore 1, I,I32 Deaths Reported tC

There Wore I,I32 Deaths Reported to
 the State Board of Health.
 The mortality report for April has been received from every town in Con- nectieut. There were 1,132 deaths re- ported in the state during the month. This was 172 less than in March; it was 12S less than in April, 1891, and g more than the average number of deaths in April for the five years preceding the present.
 The death rate was 1S.5 for the large towns; for the small towns 17.4, and IS. for the whole state. Waterbury s death rate was 17.3. The deaths from zymotic diseases were 150, being 13.2 per cent of the total mortality, against 14.7 per cent in March.
 Upon the subject of disinfection Health Officer Lindsley says:
 Can anybody disinfect? Yes, in the same sense, that anybody can dress a wound or put out a fire. But if the wound is a serious one, the skill and anatomical knowledge of the surgeon is needed. So anybody can throw a pail of water on a blaze just starting, and put it out, but if the house is well on fire, the apparatus, practical skill and trained intelligence of the firemen are required to extinguish it. In like man. ner anybody can throw a bundle of soiled linen from smallpox patient into a tub of disiufectant solution, oz set on fire few pounds of sulphur; but if the patient has been in the house some time sick so that the infection has permeated the atmosphere of the house, and the contents of the house is charged with it, there is the like necessity for the exercise of intelligence and trained ex' perience to disinfect successfully, as in confIagrations or fractured limbs.
 No health officer does his whole duty who trusts any family in which there has been contagious disease to disinfect their own house. However intelligent they may be, however resolute in pur pose to do it, and do it well, still not once in ten times will they do il thoroughly, merely because they can not do it.
 Every health officer ought to have one or more persons to do all the worl of disinfection, and after some practice and experisnce they will learn how tC do it, successfully. The spread of con tagion is due moro to imperfect disinfec tion than to any other single thing.

Took No Stock In Banks.

George Crane, Waterford milkman, who died about two weeks ago, lost his confidence in banks fifteen years ago. His mother believed he kept his money in an old trunk, and on Friday last the administrators and appraisers of the es- found 5000 in bank bills as tightly pressed together as if they had been through hay press. They had been in the trunk so long that they emitted an unpleasant oder. Another package of silver amounting to nearly $500 was found in the same trunk. Had the de- ceased allowed the money to remain in the bank for fifteen years instead of his trunk, his estate would inventory 5000

wArERRuRYs PROTEST.
Number of Trains to Be Reduced on the
 New England Road.


 New England Road.
 Next Monday, the management of the New York & New England road will make a material reduction in the train service of the road. The most import ant of the near by changes will be the cessation of express train service be- tween Boston and Providence. Most of the other changes will be upon branches and on the western division.
 The above is the text of a dispatch sent out from Boston last night. It means that the new managers of the New England are bent upon reducing expenses and that unless vigorous pro- test be made all along the line, the pas senper schedule will be seriously affected. On the western division it is probable that the train for Hartford, leaving here at 9:15 a. m., and the re- turn train arriving in Waterbury at 5:15 D. m., will be discontinued. Waterbury protests against any such radical change. These trains are well patron ized and are a public necessity. Be- cause they are run at loss on any cer- tain section of the road is not sufficient reason why the trains should be crossed completely off the time card. If the trains do not pay west of Waterbury let this city be the terminal point. The loss, if any, must occur on the run west of this city.
 If the trains are taken off there is not much doubt that petition will be pre- pared calling upon the railroad commis- sioners to order the trains to be run again.,

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
A Farmer Tries to Kill a. Dog and Shoots
 Six Italians

SIX Italians,
 Richard How'd, farmer living near Stony Creek depot, in trying to shoot a strange dog, wounded six Italian quarrymen yesterday at Stony Creek. Some one circulated story to the effect landowners of the deserted quarry did not want the men hanging around, and had fired among the 100 quarrymen who stood on the depot steps, hoping to drive them off. This so enraged the Italians that they scattered in every direction in search of the man who fired the shot. They were about to vent their wrath upon John Lew, who was hoeing in his garden near by, thinking he was the aggressor, when assured of his inno- cence by spectators. John Jenkins, an Englishman, and Frank Hall, freight agent, were wounded, but none of the men were seriously injured. How'd was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Carney of Branford.
 A part of Pawne Bills wild west show, which was in Ansonia last week, was lynching scene.
