THE uAlNIAIv''
Advance Man May Try b Pro. sent Show Over Mayors nead.

'The Clansman" had another round with himself this morning this time in the district court room where Mayor Thoms was asked to give Judgment against himself. The city was represented by Mayor Thoms and City Attorney Kellogg.
 The Clansman" company by At torney Carmody and the advance man of the show, J. J. Mccarthy, and the purpose of the meeting was to find if possible some way by which the order of the mayor pro- hibiting the performance next Sat- urday can be overcome
 Had it been a civil matter there would be no trouble in climbing over the mayors order, but 1t seems to be a criminal affair, in which the morals of the town, Or part of it's population at least, are involved and after talking 1t over for halt an hour no conclusion was arrived at.
 It was admitted that an injunc- tion could not be issued against the chief of police restraining him from carrying out the mayors order to arrest everyone connected with the show If an attempt is made to put it on. and as no one thought of any other means the discussion closed. It was the knottiest law problem that ever was heard of hereabouts. The manager of the show, seems deter mined to try to put 1t on here.

Will Talk About Estimates.

The aldermen will meet tonight. Among the matters to he considered are the estimates for 1907. The or tlinane. in relation to sidewalks will also come up. If Is said that some of the aldermen are opposed to change. They claim that everybody should build his own walk. This Is the od story. Who owns the side walks. The fact that the walks be- long 10 the city. the same as the streets do. has been stated 50 often and is so well known. 1t is strange to hear that "crackr at this hour of the dsy. But after all it Is nothing won derful. It Is not 60 long ago since the city used to force property owners ;o grade that part of the streets on which sidewalks are built and kept 1t up until the late General Kellogg dropped to see the officials one time and Inquired what they took him for. From that time forward the city grad ed for the sidewalks, but prior to lhat citizens spent large sums doing such work. To be sure DO appropriation has been recommended for building sidewalks. but the intention Is to pro- vide for this by a special appropria- ton from unappropriated revenues in ease the amendment passes. It is a move in the right direction and will have to come before Waterbury ever will have uniform sidewalks.

STRAIGHT LINE TO MILFORD.
Property 0wnen Met Railroad Off.
 cials in New Haven To-day.

Judge CoGell and a few other owners of property along the Mill ford shore attended hearing in the railroad ofIices in New Haven to-day resading proposition to connect Derby with Milford and Walnut beach direct. It Is said the railroad company can obtain a right of way free and that the distance to be cov- cred Is only about six miles. At present ane has to go around by the Naugatuck Junction to come from Milford and Walnut beach up the valley. Next summer it is expected that the road between Naugatuck and Seymour will be in operation which will give this end of New Ha- ven county direct trolley communi- cation with New Haven and Bridge port. Judge Cowell's idea of the new proposition Is to start the new line from filings mills in Derby straight to Milford and Walnut beach.

WON'T STAND FOR IT.
Harvard Students Want Athletic
 Sports to Continue.

Boston, Dec 1O.--At report that athletics at Harvard would ham to cease under compulslon of the Har- varsl athletic committee. Harvard un- dergraduates yesterday were furious. That the cnrfew shOll not toll on a single branch of athletics and that in. tercolleginte athletics will at any cost continue was the sentiment among all Harvard students. A war between students and faculty looks imminent If the committee should report ad. versely to sports.
 The captains of all the Harvard teams expressed a strong wish that their sports be not interferred with. while the sensation that the report caused among prominent students was surprising.
 President John D. White of Har- vard's senior class and an athlete of considerable notc was last night i'm dIgnant over the rumor To report
 T do hope and expect to sec every branch of athletics here at Harvard continued. and know that Ia the sen tlment of most of the fellows. To try to abolish athletics entirely or even intercollegiate athletics would do much more harm than good.
 "I know that all sports are not per feet; they must have their faults. hut none of those faults are serious enough to warrant the abolition of the sport altogether. What the athletic committee ought to do Is to try to eradicate those faults and to seek to improve the sport"

THE POLICE COURT.
Officers Interferred in . Card Game
 on Bank Street Saturday Night

 The police dropped in upon three men as they were playing cards for money in room over John Mikna- itis's saloon on Bank street, Saturday evening. Anthony Oren, it seems, owed Miknaitis 8 and he gave him a $10 bill from which to pay himself. Oren stated to the police that Mikna- tits kept the whole sum. At all events he got angry and for satis- faction he gave the police the tip about the card game. When the police got to the room they found Anthony Senk. Joseph Lokis and Jo- seph Yurkewecz sitting playing cards on a table on which was $6. The police were Officers Cassin, Cronin, and LeROy. In the city court to-day before Judge Burpee Senk and the other man stated that Lokis was merely looking on. They were &C., cordingly fined $1 and costs while in Lokis's case sentence was suspend ed.

The MIlIlno Of .c Coin.

Nearly everybody thinks that the milling of coin is its corrugated rim but that term has nothing to dSwith the corrugations. The coiner at the mint takes up 8 blank. round piece of plain silver. cut out of silver bar, and drops 1t into machine. It comes out with the edges slightly rounded Then he drops 1t Into the milling ma. chine. and 1t comes out with the rim lat and raised . little above the sides. The milling is this plain raised rim, without reference to any corrugations. and it is intended to protect the sur. face of the coin from wear. The cor rusations around the rim are called the ''reeding."

 ; The document will be forwarded to Waterbury immediately. While coming too late to have permitted the perfection of plans for the cere- nlony of inyesture on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, still it ar rived on schedule time. so far as the authorities at Rome were concerned, 20 that unless other things had in- terferred the arrangements could have gone on and nothing would have been wanting to complete the cere- mony. Owing to the Illness of the bishop it Is not definitely settled as to when the ceremony of investiture will be held, but the title and dignity are assured on receipt of the ofiicial paper.

Practical Hints to Rauchers.

Some practical hints 70 ranch-r- are
given In q communication addressed
to the River Press by Perrin Epper-
son, of Belt, who writes:
1t l were a young farmer, l would
select q of the thousand of loca-
lions to be had in Montana under the
homestead and desert laws. where the
land slopes to the north and east.
Then would construct a reservoir on
the high ground into which | would
pump water by windmill power from a
we'll drilled q hundred to two hun.
dred feet deep: and then, to start In
with. ] would seed 20 acres to alfalfa
on land that had been broken the
previous June. About May 20 is the
proper time to do the seeding, this date
insuring vigorous termination of the
seed. After seeding, urn on the water
1t necessary, but often i, will not be
needed. Later on is the time YOU will
need the water to produce the -econd
crop.
At the time of seeding the alfalfa in
May, l would also have 10 acres OF
land which had been broken the pre-.
vious year, which | would seed about
August l to winter wheat. The follow.
ing year, with the usual rain and
snowfall, | would harvest about thirty
bushels of fine wheat to the acre,
When this wheat is thre.hed, | will
see to 1t that the straw is stacked auG

Wool Market In Good shane,

The Boston wool market, says the
Commercial Bulletin, is at present the
cheapest market in the world, aud
manufacturers are beginning to rea.
lie that fact. London's steady adj
vances on crossbreds since the open
ing Of the sales on the 18th have in.
oculated consumers with 4 virus for
buying. Strange to say, however,
dealers are unable to obtain higher
prices. and attempts to do so would
likely be met with refusals to opera ate
Naturally manufacturers cannot b,
blamed for not wanting to pay higher
values than are now ruling, but on the
other hand We behold the spectacle Of
wool merchants selling their stocks q,
cents lower than they a BE- replaceu
A.. The situation is Indeed a peculiar
one. Judging from conditions exist
Ing both here and abroad, it is ex.
tremely doubtful II dealers will be
able TO buy at lower rates.
The advances Ia London and the
known strength of the Boston marke,
have made western growers SO deter.
mined In regard to obtaining full
prices for their clips tina, eastern ope.
rotors have practically given up try.
ing to get contracts. The buying,
however, is not altogether stopped
In Idaho clips are being taken quite
freely on a basis of 2Oc. Que large
clip amounting TO nearly LOO, OOO
pounds, was contracted at 2Osc. Som.
trades are being put through 10 Utah
Zoe, and a little wool has been picked
up In eastern Oregon on the same
basis. The situation 10 Montana is
acute. Sheepmen will listen to moth.
Ing under % cents for any clip, aud
for choice ones no price. is set. With
an additional cost of , cents TO lay
the wool down here. the secured ba.i.
would be around 75c. la Wyoming
similar conditions exist, the grower.
OF that state asking about the same
prices. These woods would cost a cen
or two more secured than Montana.
Under these circumstances it Is prob
able that buyers will wait until shear.
ing time, which is not far off, before
making further important purchases.

WILL BEGIN WORK.
Engineer c. C.. Bakh Makes Announce
ment Regarding Milk River Project.

Confirmation Of the report that work
will soon be commenced on the Milk
river project comes from Billings in
the form Of a special 20 the Helena
Record. Mr.. Babb is now at Billings,
and describes his program for the
season as follows:
From here Mr.. Babb will 90 to Chi
nook, where he will have charge OF
the survey work now being brought
rapidly to a close 10 that vicinity. He
will also have charge of all the con.
struction of the St. Mary's dam and
most of the work on the big ditch that
will be done in that locality during
the coming year.
Construction work will also begin
soon on the canal 10 the vicinity of
Zurich. in Chouteau county, under the
direct charge Of the government, while
a force Of men will also be stationed
at theD OdsOn dam, where a huge res.
ervoir will be created for the purpose
OF holding the food waters of Milk
river. These waters will irrigate
thousands Of acres of land ia the vi
entity of Malta. Saco and Glasgow.
The reservoir formed by the use of
this dam will cover some 10. 900 acres
of land and all Of this has already
been bought by the government from
the ranchers in that Immediate vicini.
ty. Where q large number of ranch
buildings now stand today will in a
few short years be covered with water
to the depth of 10 fee. or more and il
is estimated that it will take at ieas,
two Or three years to fiji this huge
gap.
All OF the construction work on tn,
big canal will be done by the farmer.
and ranchers Of the immediate vicini
" and this will give emplo; ment t
hundreds of teams and men, while tn
pay roll will be a large one.
During the coming summer worl
will be started on The first twenty
three miles of the big ditch aud tn
sum of 81, 200, 600 has already been sc
aside for this purpose. WORK will
seOn begin on this par. of the ditch
while the rest of the canal will be con
structed in sections. No contract viii
be entered into with any big outfit an,
the government will have immediat
charge Of all the work, which will b
done under the directions of the recla
nation officers, who will be on tn
ground all the time in order to Sc
that the work is done in a proper mar
ner. During the past year the suppl
OF water in Milk river has been at
lower rate than ever before known, b,
when the big dam at St. Mary's LAX
Is completed this will be all change
and there will be a good flow OF waite
all of the year.
