STILL IN CHURCH sPIRE.
Distillers at Quezac, France, Adopt
Novel Plan toscheckmate Gus
toms Officials.

Not long ago an interesting discovery
was made at Quezac, France, by a couple
OF officers of the customs, say the Phila-
delphia Ledger. AS the result of anony-
nous Information they climbed into the
spire OF the, church, and after a care
ful search found a still which, although
dating from the seventeenth century,
was yet In a perfect state of preserya-,
ton and capable of being worked, Nat,
urally the requirements of the, law with
regard to apparatus of this description
had not been complied with In this case,
but who was tho ~offender2 The vicar.
In charge of the building? The sacristan
who visited weekly? Interragated, the,
former declared that he had only re-
Gently com into the parish and had
never set foot In the spire. He. was,
therefore, totally ignorant Of the exist
ence Of the discriminating vessel. The
sacristan, however, could rot allege so
valid an excuse, and his explanation
not being considered satisfactory, he
will be proceeded against.

THE BRIDGE
APPROACH.
FreehOIders want the City to
Get Busy Letter TO
the Mayor.

BY q resolution adopted at yester-
erdays meeting of the Board of Free
holders, that body decided to urge Il Q
authorities of this city to begin work
Immediately on the approach to the
Raritan River bridge.
Ia accordance with this resolution,
County Solicitor Willis will shortly
serve notice on Mayor Seaman asking
him to push the work nm the approach.
Freeholder De Hart brought the mat
ter up. He said he had not been in
favor of the building of the bridge
but now that it had been started he
wanted to see it finished up properly.
He thought the same action taken in
reference to the Ridgeway avenue
matter. South Amboy, in which the
Board instructed the borough to i'm
prove the road, should be taken in the
Sheridan street approach. He intro
ducel the resolution, and it was
adopted. -4.af fs #aalsAs

To Hold an Entertainment Later

Report Progress.

At the meeting or the Raritan Yacht
Club, lsstnight, the committee iu charge
of the new building, which as told in the
News, the members had decided to erect,
reported great success, so far, and that
the bids on the work, would most likely,
be all in at the 9 meeting. III they
are all in, it is most likely that the con-
tract will be awarded at once, aud the
work rushed AS fast as possible.
A committee was appointed to make
arrangements for an entertainment, which
the club will hold at a later date. They
will report what progress they have made
at the next meeting. Three new mem
bers were admitted to membership last
night. They are Jesse Sickles, Ward b.

whether the bird of prey himself OF
all these other enemies kill the most

commonly in deeper water than other

the enemies of your trout. y

LIVE WIRES AND FIRE RISKS
Chances of CONGREGATIONS, Where
Electricity Is Used to Any
Extent, Are Large.

In almost all telephone and telegraph
Offices, and in many electric lighting
and railway plants located in regions
traversed by high-potential transmits
sion circuits, says s. H. Bunnell, in the
Engineering Magazine, the chances Of
fire through the crossing of low and high
voltage wires are so great as to warrant
a most careful investigation Of the sit
uation by a skilled engineer. This is ar
outcome Of the rapid multiplication OF
power circuits. throughout the country
in the development of the long-distancs
transmission of electrical energy of po-
tentials ranging from 5000 to 60,00C
volts. Special overhead construction for
the prevention of such crossings is now
being installed at many danger points,
but the work has hardly been begun es
yet. A high-tension Gross" en- O low
tension line may easily start fires ut
many widely scattered points, to say
nothing of the risk to human life. Or
binary protective devices In the way OF
fuses, automatic cutouts and circuit
breakers are usually effective up to s, 000
volts, but beyond this potential the only
safe course appears to be the absolute
prevention of any contact whatever be-
tween circuits which literally carry
chained lightning" and those of lower
pressure. The latest rules of the ma
tional board of fire underwriters are sug-
gestive in detail as to how to avoid
these serious dangers.

A
. GOOD ANGLER.
Bruggman, Of Newark Had
Weaktish Oh Line When
BIuefish Grabbed it.

A. Bruggman, of 81 Springfield avenue,
Newark, had quite an experience while
fishing eff this city, Sunday. Mr..
Bruggman had hooked a small weakfish
and was in the act of pulling it in when
it was grasped by a huge bluefish.
Bruggman thought that he had caught
both fish, when the bluefish disappeared,
leaving only a small portion of the weak
fish's head. The same thing happened
to a bluefish at No gan Station recently.
An angler was hauling in a good, big
catch when there was a sudden jerk and
the bluefish had been severed at the gills
by a large shark.

SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY.
Also Building up the Stock Raising
Industry in Colorado.

The Inauguration of the sugar
beet industry in the West has been
responsible for many changes in ag
ricultural affairs and although the
industry is still in its infancy and as
vet little understood, western farm
ers are commencing to realize that it
is leading to an evolution that will
revOlutionize old established methods
of farming and marketing the pro-
ducts of the farm and ranch. In
Colorado and other range states the
advent of the sugar beet promises to
work great changes in the stock
raising business The taking of
enormous crops from each acre of ir
rigated land makes it necessary to
put something back and with the by
products and waste of the beet comes
the possibility of utilizing the grains
and grasses from the fields and
range and marketing the whole as
meat while the feeding operations
will fertilize the beet fields The
feeding of large numbers of sheep,
cattle aud hogs means stock raising
on larger aud more complete scale,
THE building of home market at
Denver for the live stock, the estab-
fishing of more packing plants for
manufacturing the stock into meats
aud provisions and all the various
by-products. While the farmers
and stockmen of the West are COM
mencing to see these possibilities in
general way, they have still much
to learn and during the past year g
movement has been started for the
purpose OF utilizing the Colorado
Agricultural College and Experiment
station for somess practicable results
IN stock feeding on beet fields. Thi.
work is so important that it will
practically result in a complete revo-
luton of the state institution al

We see by the Sunday dailies and

We see by the Sunday dailies and
also the Las Anlmas papers that our
neighboring city has successfully
closed negotiations for beet sugar
factory, and we congratulate the en-
terprising citizens of Las Animas on
their good fortune. The factory will
be six hundred tons capacity and will
be moved from Michigan this season
or next as the arrangements are made.
With factories at Lamar and Las
Animas the lower end of the valley
will have the upper section well
matched and we predict that for the
season OF 1905 the new factories will
have larger output than the Rocky
Ford and Sugar City factories.

Notice

Holders of land contracts issued by
the Arkansas Valley Sugar Beet &
irrigated Land company, or its prede-
cessors, are hereby notified that on and
after this date, when such contracts are
presented for its approval OF an assign
ment of the contract, the signature of
the assignor must be acknowledged be-
fore notary public or other officer au-
thorized by law to take acknowledge
ments.
When assignments nave already been
made, and acknowledgements cannot
now be obtained, assignees must, before
February |, 1904, present to the com
pany, such proof of assignment as shall
be satisfactory.
We call your attention to the clause
in all contracts which reads as follows:
And it is further stipulated that no
assignment of this contract shall be
valid unless the same shall be endorsed
hereon, or permanently attached here
to, and approved by said party of the
first part (for which purpose this con
tract must be sent to the Arkansas VAL
ley Sugar Beet " Irrigated Land com
pdnN Dy Hltii, OF OlnerWlse, anu Lnelf
approval endorsed thereon in writing)." :"
By the above you will see that the
approval is very important part of the
assignment, and should an assigned
contract be lost before this approval is
obtained, and the assignment registered
on the books of the company, the as
signee would be put to considerable
trouble and expense to establish his
title, if he can so at all.
When the form OF assignment as
printed on the contracts has been filled
up, and auother is needed, proper blanks
may be obtained by applying at this
Office.
