BETHEL.
BETHEL's WATER SUPPLY.

BETHEL's WATER SUPPLY.
 Mountain lake Is small body of water between tho hills. It's natural basin is nearly round in shape and very deep and is fed by numerous springs of water clear and cold. At the outlet between two rocky knolls Is where the new dam is being constructed. This dam when completed is expected to raise the water in the lake about 12 feet higher than the in area to the body of water making depth of water in the basin some where near 30 fleet. A 10.inch pipe was laid several years ago which takes 10 feet of water from the natural pond to increase the water supply stored in a reservoir be- low for the borough of Bethel. During the past two weeks the natural lake has been drawn down to the 1O-inch pipe, leaving small body of water near the center and very deep. At the outer edge toward the outlet of the pond there an immense quantity of muck which in some 20 feet or more to solid ground. Before the water in the lake was first drawn of this large accumulation of bog foated and was covered with brush and small trees, which were cut and burned when the water pipe was laid. This bog has sunk and will probably lay under water in the future, leaving beautiful little lake of clear cool water. It is said that a century or more ago the town of DanburY employed men to stock this pond and. others within the vicinity of the town with pike and other edible fish. It proved t." be good investment and a public benefit and fforded it's inhabitants . great deal of pleas ure. Gallo Morgan, . we'll known citizen of the town and who then lived in Wolf Pits school dis
 trict, used to say that he and others went to New York state and caught the pike to stock the ponds around Danbury.
 s'Uncle Cale," as he was called, was . sportsman In This day and was a noted trapper of wild pigeons as we'll as being . good fisherman. No doubt that the large increase in the surface of water on Mountain lake will make great increase
 in the dsh. May the public still enjoy
 their sport as of old.

SOUTH BRITAIN.
A WORD FROM MR SAGE.


 Editor THE BEE, Dear Sir My at- tention has been called to an item in last weeks BEE relative. to tue Creamery. Will you permit me to say that 1t is not true that South Britain creamery is to close and it's machinery to be placed in . better dairy region. At least do not contemplate this at OF ce, and probably 1t will never be if the dairymen of this section render their patronage. While 1t is true that the extreme dry weather of the past two seasons has greatly reduced our output, the demand for ''Ssge Butter" has increased, and prices to ps- trons have been raised correspondiDgly. The creamery never had . better out look chan at present., except on supply of milk. This will be materially incressed immediately bsve . return to aeasons of average rainfsl' Of course, oppo- sition and the display of . lack of approval may be made to drive out any enterprise established or contemplated in . town. This particularly Is true in relation to the creamery business, which seems to be especially sensitive to censNre. But surely 1t may not be asserted inst the manager of the local creamery has not done everything in his power to make 1t \ succees and benefit to the town. H0llisteE Sage.

would need skiff TO get to the
grounds, and as the supply was some

consequence would be small crowd.
But the rain lasted only "a short while.
after which the sun came out and
dried things somewhat, and long be
thusiastic spectators had gathered to
see the game. Promptly at the hour
the game was called by the umpire.
Brookhaven taking the field. As the
game progressed it seemed that Yves.
son was sure to win, but matters chang
ed in the last half of the ninth inning,
at which time the score stood s to 6
in favor of Wesson: but the Brook
haven boys seemed as if they were
only waiting for good opportunity
to surprise every one and decided that
it was time for them to win and before
the required three men, could be
"struck. out" they had scored three
more runs which won for them the
game. The batteries on both sides de
serve much praise.
The manager of the Brookhaven nine,
Mr.. Il. Z. Scherck, gave both teams a
reception at his home after the game

with many on Canal street, New Or
leans, and | observed numerous resi-
dences being erected that would orna-
ment ST. Charles Avenue of the same
city. Water works, electric lights and
similar enterprises, projected and put
into operation by its people have
brought about this change of appear
ances and conditions And say moth
ing as to the increase among property
holders, and the increase of taxes paid.
All this enables and justifies the i'm
