SEWERAGE FOR CANAAN
Board of Trade to Thoroughly Inves tigate the Question of Sewage Dis posaI

Board of Trade to Thoroughly Inves-
 tigate the Question of Sewage Dis
 posal.
 On Tuesday evening the directors of the Canaan Board of Trade held a meet ing for the purpose of appointing stand ing committees. The result of their deliberations is as follows:
 Questions of Public Interest-N. l.. Jackson, W. W. Burghart, Dr. F. H. Lee, Harry Lyles, Robert Pierce.
 Membership N. Watson Harden burgh, K. D. Norton, J. L. Parsons.
 Manufactories and Trade-Samuel A. Eddy, Geo. s. Fuller, Wallace Garfield, H. R. Whitford, H. B. Ives.
 Printing and Advertising-Harry M. Doty, A. V. A. Felton, B. A. Peiroe.
 It was the concensus of opinion that the first question for the Board to con sider is sewerage. The fact is generally conceded that the village is greatly in need of it and that something must be accomplished along this line before it will be possible to bring about an in- crease in manufactories and desirable residents.
 A resolution was adopted, asking the committee on Questions of Public Inter est to carefully consider the matter from every point of view and report at a special meeting to be held Tuesday even ing, July 10.

TROLLEY EXTENSION
WILL BE BUILT IN NEAR FUTURE

President Mellen Assures it-South
 Egremont People Want it to Extend
 to Their Village and General Travel
 ing Public Wants Direct Route From
 Canaan.
 The Pittsfield Eagle says that at the conference which was held at Stockbridge between President Mellen of the N. Y., N. H. 6 Fl. R. R. aud south Berkshire citizens, who desire to see an electric road constructed from Great Harrington to Canaan via South Egremont, Presi- dent Mellen assured the party that this road would surely be built i'll the near future and that the Egremont route would be carefully considered, and a survey made of both the proposed routes. MT. Mellen will also make a personal trip from Great Harrington to Canaan by way of South Egremont.
 He was inclined to believe, says the Eagle, that the Egremont route would be the most feasible one for the com pany to accept as one less grade crossing would be necessary. The revenue from the Egremont route would also be much larger than the company would receive from direct road from Great Barring ton to Canaan.
 He has agreed to meet the members of the party again. If MT. Meilen has made the unequivocal statement that the road is to be built, the people in southern Berkshire and northern Litch field counties may begin to believe that the trolley rumors which have been rife for some time have foundation ill fact The only answer to the question as to when the road is to be built is: ~In the near future-''
 It is natural that the people Of South Egrem0nt should want the road to ex tend to their village and it is just as natural that the people of Canaan Ashley Falls and Sheffield should oppose such route In all probability the number of local trains on the New HaveI road would be decreased with the com ing of the trolley road and the trolley  line would be the principal means oi transportation between Canaan, Great Harrington and Pittsfeld. A4Ene de fiecting from the direct route between these places so as to touch South Egre mont would increase the mileage, i'm pose an additional fare and consume additional time, all of which would bt undesirable and would lessen tn, efficiency of the service in the eyes O the greater percentage of the travelling public. A spur track, or short line from Great Harrington to South Egre mont has been considered and it woul' seem that the interests of the greate number of people could be best serve' in this manner and let the main line rul direct. It would seem neither wise no just to inconvenience the general travel ing public for the sake of accomodatin the strictly local traffic between Soutl Egremont and Great Burlington. Le us have the shortest and most direc route with frequent service and loS rates of fare.

LAYING OF CORNER STONE

New Chapel at Ashley Falls Will Now Progress Rapidly Toward Compile tion.-Lady Writes Original Poem. On Thursday of last week the cere- monies of laying the corner stone of the new chapel at Ashley Falls were con ductcd. The programme opened with introductory remarks by Rev. MT. Sey- mour who also offered prayer. The music selected for the occasion was particularly appropriate. The first selection was "How Firm a Foundation" and the second "Blest be the Tie That Binds" The principal address was made by the Rev. J. E. Ellis of Shef- field, portion of which consisted of the regular ritualistic service fer such occasions.
 The center of the stone is hollow and in this was placed package which con tained a list of the charter members of the society, a copy of the subscription paper showing contributions to the amount of $12S7 .63, a list of the Home Circle members and copies of the current weeks issue of three newspapers, "The Berkshire Courier,'' "The Berkshire Press' and ''The Connecticut Western News" Tho stone was placed ill position and sealed by George Hall. Rev. MT. Anderson. the Franklin County missionary made appropriate re- marks, bringing out three points, i. e. that the chapel should be of assistance to those wishing to see the Lord, that it should be primarily a house of prayer and that the relations of the congre- gation should be so characterized by brotherly love that they should be as one family.
 At this point Mrs. Henry Clark read an original poem appropriate to the occasion which we herewith present.
 Our Petition. The heaven of heavens, the countless galax-
 ies of suns
 With all their sweeping worlds, Thee,
 Lord, can not contain; d
 house, where Thou
 Our waiting hearts would'st meet Will
 Thou this wish ordain, O, E4e-lo-he, Israel? The lowly gifts our toil-used hands can
 find or form, 1 By Thee received, transformed, and by thy,yisCoyn blent May rise, d shnine, wherein thy Presence
 manifest
 May glow, our Guide as in thy old-timt
 Sinai-tent,
 Jehovah -nis-si grant Thou this And thence, from humble hearts, may sac
 rifice ascend
 Enwreathed with grateful incense of be
 lieving prayer;
 There burdened souls find rest and life, tn. I Spirits power,
 Because, in love divine, thy Name i i written there,
 Jehovah ji-reh, this for uss Wepray, it's altar-fres be bright, its beacor
 clear,
 Its greeting glad and warm, it's door
 with welcome wide; So lowly, friendless, homeless wanderer
 from Thee
 May find Friend, Home, Light a
 even-tide,
 Jehovah-sha-lom bless us now

Mr.. Edward Kennedy, proposing
to turn over TO him the twelve

tons the committee has raised pro-
vided he would give bond for
compliance with his part of the
contract and indicate grounds be
would want for terminals. Be.
low we give Mr.. Kennedy letter
letter declining the proposition and
declaring the deal of 10 doing
so Mr.. Kennedy expresses strong
faith in the enterprise and the
generous hope that it may be re
allied. The letter Gays:
Houston, Tex, Aug. 5, 1906.
Inter. Urban Committee, care Mr.
II. o. Boatright, Bryan, Texas:
Gentlemen: ] have your favor
Of yesterday stating that you can
not raise but $I2,00O00 for the
proposed trolley line and that if /
will designate the % acres for ter
minals and the right Of way de-
sired that YOU will then see what
can be done towards securing il.
In reply advise that cannot
accept the offer, hence, we will, 80
far as myself and associates are
concerned, call the deal off.
As for the terminal ground, that
of course would not amount TO
much, and the right of way could
not be design ated until the line
was finally located. The clause
for tax exemption would not be a
matter to cause a break.
In calling of this negotiation,
permit me TO wish that you will
finally realize this line. In my
judgement there lie no enterprise
that will equally benefit your town
for the expenditure required. As-
surfing you Of my warm personal
regards am,
Yours very sincerely,
Edward Kennedy.

PACKERS GAIN
4 CONCESSION
Cans Will Be Labeled "RoaSt
Beef" When the Meat Has
Been Merely Boiled.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-Canned roast
beef will continue to bear the label roast
beef" notwithstanding the fact that it
really is boiled beef. This was a deci-
sion reached at a conferencef today be-
tween Secretary Wilson and Senator Hop
kins of Illinois. and Thomas e. Wilson,
general manager Of the Nelson Morris
Packing company of Chicago Senator
Hopkins and Mr.. Wilson discussed the
matter yesterday at Oyster Bay with
President Roosevelt and were referred
by him TO Secretary Wilson. Mr.~WilSOn
explained that the method of preparing
canned roast beef was to parboil the meat
for fifteen minutes and then put it in cans
and subject 1t TO steam heat for three
hours. The term roast beef" which was
applied to this product was of particular
value to packers, Mr.. Wilson said, be-
cause the method had been copied by
the Australian and South American
packers who would profit by it if the
American packers were forced to- abandon
il.
After full consideration it was decided
roast beef but that it should be stated on
cooked. Secretary Wilson made il clear
that only perfectly healthy beef could be
used in the preparation of canned roast
beef, although the product is not of the
highest grade of cattle. No preservative
of any kind will be used in the prepara-
ton of the product and the label must
state Just how 1t is prepared
The decision was entirely satisfactory to
the packers.
