An Ashley Falls Mans Activities. Is
 Cashmere Bouquet Soap the Pro-
 duct of Table Refuse7
 An industry which is n novel one in these parts is being carried on near Ashley Falls, Mass, by James Dickens who came from Canarsie. l.. l., two years ago and purchased the Dewitt Curtis farm. He has large covered wagon in which he collects garbage in Canaan and Great Harrington and this garbage is taken to his plant and thoroughly cooked in immense vats, The grease is drawn off and sold to soap manufacturers. Whatever bones are found are separated from the mass and disposed of to fertilizer con cerns. Now and then tin cans are found in the garbage and these are placed in pile. When a heap equivalent to 30 or 10 wagon loads accumulates fire is built abopt them and the solder thus obtained is also sold. Every possible "by-product" of the steamed garbage is sold and the balance is fed to Mir. Dicken' s drove of hogs.
 It is his intention to raise at least 500 pigs each season and when they reach 100 or l5o pounds in weight they are shipped to the New York markets.
 Mr. Dickens already has 5000 in- vested in this rendering plant and ex- poets to considerably enlarge it in the near future.

Four Young Men Travel in Canoes
 From Great Burlington, Mass, to
 Bridgeport, Conn.
 On Thursday last Samuel Bowles, jr.. son of the owner of the Springfield Republican, accompanied by Carl R. Comstock of Saratoga, N. Y, were callers at THE NEWS office. In company with Roger Sherman Hoar of Concord, field, the young men were taking & canoe trip from Great Burlington, Mass. to Bridgeport, Conn.,, via the Housa- tonic river. They left Great Harrington on Monday and it was their expectation to reach Bridgeport on Saturday of last week. On Thursday they had pro- ceeded as far as New Milford. Each had a 16-foot canvas covered canoe. They said that they had greatly enjoyed the trip although they found it necessary to carry their canoes around many dams, falls, etc., and experienced a number of narrow escapes from spills into the ater. The young men were not travelling in much style so far as wearing apparel was concerned, in fact THE NEWS 'devil" thought, when he saw them coming, that they were tramp printers looking for the price of plate of beans and wanted to lock the door of the sanctum but they didn't ask for cent and their call was much enjoyed. They carried a small tent which they pitched along the banks of the river wherever night overlook them. or. in stormy weather, slept in a farmers barns. Their provision they purchased along the route. Mir. Bowles took number of pictures here and there and proposes to write the story of the trip for the Republican. Even though there were sunburned backs and arms and sore muscles, they were getting plenty of enjoyment and pronounced a canoe trip an ideal manner of taking a vacation.

They Will Mot be Allowed to Run on
 Toll Bridge Road.
 Att recent meeting of the North Canaan Bridge Company it was voted not to permit the use of an automobile on the toll bridge road between OahAan and Twin Lakes, Falls Village, etc.. For this decision the public will be duly grateful and it will mean dollars in the pockets of the bridge company for horse owners would go considerable distance out of their way rather than to take the risk of meeting an automobile in the narrow track where there is barely room for two teams to pass, and the company would thus lose considerable toll.
 The bridget is being repaired. railings erected and as soon as the work is com pleted the taking of toll will be resumed.
