IMPROVING STREETS
South Elm Street in a Pretty Fair
 Condition.

The work of macadamizing Soutl Elm street is progressing favorabl, and with one exception 1t looks like a very satisfactory job. The exception is at Union street, but perhaps it isn't the intention of the board to leave things in that shape. This spot should be paved and teamster. may be able to get by without too much risk to life and limb. A wonder full improvement has been made at the intersection of Cole and Sou, Elm streets by the change of grade of the gutter so that one can drive across there without running the risk of breaking his own neck. It is the intention to pave Scovill street where it intersects with South Elm street. If not the last mentioned place will not only be unsightly, but positively dangerous.

 Hundreds of persons in the Somer- set NH saw Dean. and when his body fell over the cross piece and his hands stiffened on tho wire they thought he was still at his work. It was not un- til he had been in this position for nearly a half an hour that two small boys at the foot of the pole looked mp and saw that the old lineman was dead. They ran to the office of the Somerset Mill and gave the alarm. Manager Smith telephoned to the Po- lice Service corporation. which shut off is current.

enter the packing houses, requires
those establishments to be maintain
ed in a sanitary condition, gives ill.,
spectors access to all departments and
forbids interstate commerce in fresh
meats not marked by an inspector.
The expense of inspection is to be
bourne by the owners of the packing

Mexico Determined to Reserve
CampeGhe for MeSiGaHS.
STATE DEPARTMENT CAN DO
NOTHING FURTHER IN THE
PREMISES PENDING DECISION
OF THE MEXICAN coURTs-Is-
LANDS AND REEFS BELONG TO
MEXICO.
BY Associated Press

Washington, May 25.-The state de-
partment has received. through Mexi-
can Minister of Foreign Affairs Maris-
cal, a reply of Mexico to the inquiry
from the department as to grounds
for the seizure of American fishing
schooners from Pensacola. Mobile and
Galveston.
The minister notes the exact spots
by latitude and longitude where the
seizures were made Consultation of
charts makes it appear, if the loca-
tons are correct, that the American
boats were undoubtedly within Next
can waters. The fact is referred to
that Mexico is determined to reserve
the waters of Campeehc, as also other
localities, for its own fishermen.
Within these waters are many
islands and reefs, miles distant from
the Mexican shore line, but according
to the departments construction,
these islands are within the territorial
rights Of Mexico.
Therefore there is apparently moth
ing to do but await the decision Of the
Mexican courts.
