Photograph Gallery Being Arranged
 in City Hall by Omcials.

Who will be the city's official pho. lographer: is a question now upper. most in the minds of all the photogra- phers about town. Under the direction of the department of public safety a splendid gallery is being fitted up in the City hall building over the hallway between the police station and the city court room. and when it is finished there will he nothing like It in Water bury. There is large floor space there which never was used for any. thing and can he fitted up for pho tographic gallery at small outlay. The roof is twenty-five or thirty feet high and is composed of strong plate glass so that nothing will have to be spent in securing all the light and sun shine required for the business. The Bertillon system of phOtOgraphing criminals will be introduced which will put the police department on footing with the best regulated police departments in the country. SD far as this feature of police work goes. Al the present time measurements are made with pole. but they are not ac- curatc. and no matter how hard you try it is almost impossible to get the same results twice. Then. again. there are lot of folks about town which the police department would like to have photographed and ii" the prints away in the official album for future Use, but under existing conditions this cannot he done without lot of incon- venielcc and it has rarely been resort cd to. Whether rhe gallery will he rented to a photographer on condition that hc shall perform such service as the board may require Of him from time To time or lc kept strictly private is something the public has not vet been informed oil. hut in any cas, inc gallery will sOOn be ready for all Inc paraphernaiia that goes Ia make jip such an institution and ii will h,. equipped with everything of inc most modern designs. II was said today that the BertillOn system can be mas tered by person of ordinary intcIli cence in a very short time. and if this he so fl is quite probable that Chief Egan will try his hand at the bIsines. and will be taking snap shots or sus- piciouS characters in tho new zallcrv inside of few weeks.

Speaking of the Improvements in coal mining fin recent years a writer in the Engineering Magazine says that in looking back over the twenty years from 1909 to 1883 in the anthra- cite mines, we find tkat in 1889 there Were mined 35. 7Oa. GOO tons by collier. ies employing 56,2T0 men and boys inside, and 35, ,1S outside; while in 1909, for production of 61.17l.95l tons. there were employed but l02, 2,O55 inside and 49,172 outside--or in 1883 ono cmploye inside for G3o and one outside for 1.O1G tons. aud in 1903 one employe inside for G5S and one outside for 1850 tons production. This com parison is a little in favor of the ear. Her year. when the collieries worked an average of 2lS days against an av craze of 2l1 in 1903. From this it is evident that while great economies in labor have been made in the surface handling and preparation, but little net improvement has been made in the underground work. This is accounted for by the great extension of all col lieries both longitudinal. and in depth. and also by the much smaller and poorer seams now being worked: these disadvantages have apparently near balanced the improvements m -portation, pumping and yentila- lion which have been made in the past generation. The changes in mining methods are generally an advance in degree rather than in principle. the main Improvements being in the line of better and closer mining. and more thorough recovery of the coal: 10 these should bc added the actual ad- vance in filling the old workings with ru.m slushed in through bore holes hy tho use of water. to support th,, roof. and thus permit the recovery of a larger percentage of the coal in the
 ground. and the increasing use of steel
 and masonry instead of timber for the
 support of ,he mine roof in important openings

There is little danger of the timber supply of the new world being eX- haustcd, even if it should fail in the United States. says an exchange, There are immense timber tracts across the great lakes in Canada. In the districts of Thunder bay and Rainy River there are 2O.00O,OO0 cords of spruce and pulp wood. And q belt of woodland 5000 miles long exists in Canada be tween the Atlantic and Alaska. A re' vised tariff will give this country all the wood it needs.

 Tn order that the superintendent of the poor may be fully informed of the daily condition of the poor under treatment, we would recommend that the second suggestion relating thereto be made q rule of the board in place of the one now existing
 we would suggest that in case of real or apparent neglect on the part Of the city physicians to properly per form their duties, some member of this board be notified early and we will endeavor, by counesl and dirac- tion. to have the matter corrected at once.
 We wish to report that from observation We are satisfied that the present city physicians have been faithful and conscientious in the care of the poor throughout the year."

 in his honor's office and 1t went with,
 out hitch.
 The gutters put In by the Tracy

 cided to leave this matter in the hands or the committee. which consists of 1 Commissioners Chase and Bronson.
 After making out acquisitions for
