Wanted-CapitaI.

Although the Housatonic Valley
 is peculiarly adapted by nature for
 manufacturing industries, and is over- supplied with water power. business lanquishes and men with capital ly-
 ing idle in banks hesitate about start
 ing the wheels of industry. The Git izen agrees with it's contemporary,
 the Canaan News, that 'the way to start business is to start it." There is altogether too much talk about inn pending prosperity and too little ef- fort on the part of moneyed men to corral the prosperity that is already here and only waiting the magic touch of capital in order to make hundreds of homes happy. The Housatonic Valley ought to be one of the most populous as we'll as prosperous sec. tions of this state today, yet because of lack of invested capital there are hundreds of miles of territory which are gong to waste and inhabited only by few scattered farmers with occas- ionally tumble-down village. Ma. ture has amply endowed thls section of the country with priceless adyan, tages and it is shame that man re- fuses to meet her half way and do his share towards developing the possibil. itles of the region. The railroad facilities are excellent and we hope that Brother Beckley will live to see Csnaan an incorporated city of 25,OOO people and the Housatonic Valley in general humming with the music of revolving water wheels.

make itself the only northern winter
resort of its kind.-Rapid City Journal.
The STAR has always contended that
the railroads made mistake by giving
reduced rates to Hot Springs only in
the summer season, when as q matter
of fact it is about as delightful q
change for northern people to come
here in the winter time as it is for
southern people to come here in the
summer time. We boast Of an all-year-
round resort, aud weather reports
from here prove it beyond question.
We have favored winter resort, and
please do not forget it.
