 San Juan, Porto Rico. Nov 12.-Now that the elections are over, the people are beginning to look for improve ments.It was announced recently that q five-story building would be built on one of the most important business streets in the city, a New Il capi- talist is on the ground with plans to build a 200-room hotel. and promoters and men with capital behind them are knocking at the door of the executive council, asking for franchises to build electric railways to control water pow CT rights and to erect docks and wharves. Porto Rico should jump ahead with a ruSh-she never had q brighter future before her. The coun- cil is considered slow in granting franchises and concessions.

BROUGHT HOME GAME.
But Some of the Boys Say the Hunt
 CTS Bought It.


 Great stories Of prOwess in the hunt ing field are in circulation in the North end. A few days ago Constable Wa ter Y. Lannon went up to Winsted with the intention of hunting home ward. Anybody who has ever under taken this trip will never forget it. The prospect seldom fails to be prom ising, but the results also never fail to be greatly disappointing Until he reached Torrington. not thing worth shooting at showed itself. But at that point he had all he could do to keep his gun loaded and fire at birds galore. He was so tired. however, that he could hardly lift the gun to his shoulder. so that the birds had great time with the huntSman and they seemed to defy him to shoot. When he reached Thomaston he made up his mind that hunting around the Nauga- tuck railroad was not what 1t was cracked up to be. so he waited for the next train, yet he returned home with q bag full of game.
 Another story has it that a party of three young men living on Cooke street above Pine street went out early last week and remained away until Satur- day evening. Like Constable Lan- non, they also had a bag full of game. hares. and rabbits. Since then. how ever. rumor. jealous rumor. no doubt. has it that they bought the game in Naugatuck. and that they whispered to their intimate friends that they came near being starved during the cold snaps of last week. It is said that all they caught was one unfortu- nate rabbit that did net know enough to eret in ont of the SnOV-.

wor.e Than Death Valley.

Dreadful as Death valley is, its north
western arm, known as Mesquite val
ley, is worse All the waters upon Its
surface are poison, and down through
the canyon a hot, suffocating wind
blows with terrible velocity. During
it's course through the desert it fire.
quently gathers clouds Of white sand
that have blinded many horse and
rider, and at frequent intervals it
whirls down the canyon like cyclone
of sharp crystals. Under the glisten-
ing beds of salt and borax are conceal
ed streams of salt water which flow
slugglshly toward some unknown out
let or may be Tapped up by the parched
winds.
One Of the strangest phenomena of
this extraordinary place is what FROM
tiersmen, for want of better name,
have called raising earth" BY the
action of the sun crust composed of
minerals and clay has been formed on
the surface, and by some curious pres
sure Of nature has been lifted from the
earth in irregular curves like pie crust
in the oven. The cavity between this
crust and the solid earth varies from
one to ten feet, and the depth frequent
ly changes after heavy windstorms by
the displacement of the air beneath.
The man or the animal that steps upon
this crust is gone forever. 1t is abso-
lutely impossible for any one to extri-
cate himself when plunging about in
the ''raising earth. "-Chicago Record.

GROVE HILL FARM NOTES.

No business will build up farms like
dalryng and give cash every month.
The future of dairying in this coun-
try is beyond comprehension. l pre-.
dict that in the near future China,
Japan and the Philippine Islands will
call for large amount of United
States dairy products and that Maine
will rank among the foremost of the
New England States in dairying. We
nave the best breed of butter COWS in
the world, as sweet grasses as grow
beneath heavens sunlight and the
purest sping water. Proclaim dairy
ing for New England and let the
bonanza farmers and large ranches Of
the West have the beef business. We
cannot compete with them in that.
But we can compete with the West in
fancy butter; our nearness to first
class market enables us to give GUS
toners nice article, fresh made
every week.
The cream trade in some parts of
Maine is getting to be worthy of note,
according to Mr.. Alden, who says in
relation to it: Our cream trade IS
getting to be immense. 1t has grown
within few year. f. L. Bradford,
of the Turner Center creamery first
the idea of shipping cream
in large quantities out of the state,
and now carloads are being shipped
every day.
Cream has become necessity and
you will find it on the table of MANY a
laboring man. The more of it is
used the greater will be the demand.
Not only is cream being shipped
from Maine but milk also. As will be
seen from the following;
Who was there among our wisest
men, few years ago, that had the |
fainteSt idea that we should be shinn.
ing milk by the carload, every day. |
