FIRE DISTRICT ASSOCIATION MEMBERS
 QUESTION.
 The New Milford Fire District As sociation had lively meeting, Monday night, to consider the much-debated question betweens the Water Co., and the Fire district. Charles M. Beach was chosen chairman and made good presiding officer, ,as some parliamentary points were brought up. H. L. Ran dall brought in a proposition to pay tine Water Co. $500 for the year end ing December, 1904, $500 for the year ending 1905, $14OO for the year ending 1906. $500 for the year ending 1907, and $l2OO for the next six years. This was voted down with rush. A. M. Booth made motion to make the compensation $l20O. w. G. Brown and J. Le Roy Buck offered amendments to MT Booths motion. MT Bucks motion was finally carried, making it sa6oo ssda66ooo for the year ending December, 1904, $l4OO for the year ending Decem- Der, 1905, and s12OO for the next three years This was carried and the meet ing adjourned for three weeks. MT Randall introduced a motion that all resolutions brought in be in writing. MT Booth created laugh by handing in his resolution written on piece of brown spaper, and some compliments were exchanged between MessrS Booth and Randall. MT Bucks proposition would seem to be a fair one and in the interest of neighborly feeling and the best welfare of the Fire district at large. THE BEE would advise the Water Co. to accept it.

IN SHOOT CASE
MORMON WITNESSES TESTIFY.
President Smith cIings to His Wives
Plural Marriage Of Apostle
Cannon,

Washington, Dec. 13.-Three wit
nesses were heard yesterday I'm the
case of Senator Reed Smoot before the
Senate committee on privileges and
elections. The committee resumed Its
Investigations after long recess.
The first witness was Rev l. NJ.
Buckley, editor Of the Christian Advo-
cate OF New York, who told of a Nor
mon meeting he attended in Salt AXE
City last summer in which President
Joseph Smith declared he would not
give up his plural wives.
George Reynolds, high Official Of
the church. testified in regard TO the
ceremonies that have taken place in
the endowment house and Concerning
ecclesiastical divorces granted by the
church. and John Henry Hamltn told
OF the plural marriage of his sister,
Lillian Hamlin. to Apostle Abram Can.
non. which ceremony he said he un-
derstood to have been performed by
President Smith since the manifesto
of 1890.
Most of the testimony related to the
inside church policy, but did not con-
meet Senator Smoot with any of the
alleged violations of national or state
statutes.
DR.. Buckley told of visits to Utah in
1901 and again last June At that time
he attended joint convention of the
Young Mems and Young Womens
Unions of Mormonism. Those who
spoke were Brigham Fl. Roberts, Ell
mira S. Taylor and President Smith.
The audience was estimated by the
witness at IL 900 persons.
Dr. Buckley read from an article he
had written concerning the convention
and quoted from the speech of Presi-
dent Smith on the subject Of marriage
The witness said that for ten to fif-
teen minutes President Smith had
talked of the responsibility of marriage
and how the contract is regarded by
many persons.
President Smiths voice rang out "as
strong as William ]. Bryans," as he
defended the Mormon marriage and
declared that polygamy was not adul-
terry, but was a system of marriage
President Smith was quoted by the
witness as saying that he could not
give up any of his wives, that 1t meant
eternal damnation to abandon a multi
plicity of wives
DR.. Buckley said he had made in
Quiry concerning Senator Smoot and
he had found no one who said word
against him. Everywhere, the witness
said, Senator Smoot was given IN ex-
cellent character.

Favors Limited Package Post.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The postmas-
ter general, in his annual report. rec.
ommends a limited cheap package de.
livery on rural routes, as follows:
with, the establishment OF rural
mall delivery and the increasing ex-
tension Of rural telephone service by
private interests, there has grown up
a demand by the patrons OF the rural
service for the delivery of small pack
ages Of merchandise, such as food
stuffs, tobacco, dry goods. drugs, ETC..
on an order to the local merchant by
postal card. telephone or otherwise.
The value of these packages of mer.
chandise is usually small and the
present rate of postage Of ! cent per
ounce is practically prohibitive, The
patron or merchant cannot afford to
pay 16 cents for the delivery of a
pound of coffee or tobacco, or similar
article. but If a special rate were es-
tablished on such matter from the dis
tributing office for delivery to any pa
tron on the rural routes from that Of
fee it would be great convenience to
the patrons and become a source Of
revenue to the department
1T Is therefore recommended for the
consideration Of Congress that rate
Of 3 cents per pound or any fractional
part thereof. be authorized for pack
ages Of books or merchandise, not ex-
ceeding five pounds, mailed at the dis
tributing postoffice Of any rural free
delivery route for delivery to a patron

AlexieH Grand Admiral.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 14.-According
to reports the news sent upon the re-
turn Of Viceroy AleXieff some weeks
ago to the effect that he would be
made grand admiral. taking the place
of the Grand Duke Alexis, is fully con-
firmed. the latter probably taking up
the position of head of the Council Of
the Empire, hitherto held by the Grand
Duke Michael, whose health prevents
him from occupying the position.
This change has also further signifl-
canoe in view of the grand, sweeping
reforms in the navy made necessary by
the glaring weakness displayed in the
organization of the navy during the
present war, amounting to a complete
breakdown Of the service.

Draining Mining Camps.

The success which has attended the
construction of a drainage tunnel in
the Cripple Creek district. whereby the
water level in some of the mines has
been lowered nearly $50 feet, suggests
that wherever practicable work of that
character be undertaken in all the
great mining camps where develop.
ment and mining are impeded by
water.
A difficulty connected with the pros
ecution of such enterprises arises from
the unwillingness OF some mining COM
panies to bear their proportionate part
Of the expense, although glad enough
to share in the benefits. In conse-
quence Of inability to reach an agree
ment among all the mining companies
that would be benefited. work is de-
layed, and great expense is incurred
from day to day in lifting water by
pumps.
There seems to be no good reason
why this difficulty should not be over
come in the same way that property
owners in cities are compelled to bear
proportionate parts of the expense of
street and sidewalk improvements, In
Denver the law provides for the Or
ganization OF Improvement districts
within which certain work Is to be
done, and subsequently. when all the
legal formalities have been complied
with, the improvement is made and
each property owner is taxed in pro-
portion to the frontage Of his prop
