Spring River Ditch Company have
made a written proposition to the
City Council relative to a settlement
of the difficulty of paying for the need
less expense that has been incurred n
an attempt to tile the south side ir-
rigation ditch and offering a plan of
paying for the work for cementing
said ditch. The proposition has some
concessions over the owners offer at
the recent council meeting, but is
not considered sufficiently concilia-
tory for acception. 1t is freely predict
ed that the offer will be turned down
at the meeting of the City Council,
called for this afternoon at three
o'clock to consider this document.
The offer of the ditch people came
at a meeting of their committee with
the councils committee, held yester-
day afternoon in the council chamber.
The meeting was attended by no in
teresting deliberations. The councils
committee had been shorn of its pow
er and could do nothing but receive
council.
The proposition is as follows:
Roswell, N NJ, Feb. 1, 1907.
We. the committee selected by the
North Spring River Ditch Company.
hereby request that the City of Ros-
well pay one-half of the indebtedness
for the tiling Manufactured by the
Holdo Stone Manufacturing Company
according to the contract entered into
by the two parties, and that the two
parties act in conjunction to dispose
of said thing with as little loss as
possible.
We further state that after the
Spring River Ditch Company is will
ing to join the City of Roswell in ce-
menting said ditch through the terri
tory described for tiling. including c.
ment arches where roads cross or any
other way to cover same, each party
to assume aid pay as needed one-half
of the total expense connected with
same. The North Spring River Ditch
Company will agree to keep the entire
operating ditch clean and in a sani-
tary condition throughout the district
comprising the City of Roswell. pro
vided the City agree to maintain the
archways or coverings where streets
cross the ditch.
After investigation and the best in
formation We can get from Engineers
we find impracticable to put down the
three foot cement tiling as prepared
by the Hondo Stone Manufacturing
Company. or any covered tiling owing
to uniform grade necessary for con-
struction.
We further request that the City
Council take steps at once to pay the
City's part of the amount owing to
the Hondo Stone Manufacturing Com
pany who have complied with their
part of the contract

The proposition will not be con-

Hobson, speaking of the Japanese
question in California, said: "The III

country says, Take our people to
your public schools in California or
take the consequence That is only
a pretext The trouble is that Japan
wants to control the commerce and
markets of. the Far East. She is de-
termined to drive America out of the
Philippine islands If the Panama ca
nal was completed we might be able
to protect the Pacific coast, but we
are helpless now, and should Japan
strike at the Philippines and Hawa-
iian islands they would be lost to us.
This is the real situation, and it is
a pity that we have not strong fleets
on both the Atlantic and Pacific oc
cans to protect our interests and
keep Japan from attacking us. War
with Japan is inevitable unless We
can convince the financiers of Eu-
rope and the people that there is real
ly no cause for Japan to go to war

 fences which make such places an ideal | place for the ladies and children. with daily matlnees which prove to be splen- 1 did places to secure few hours rec lreation during shopping hours, the la- dies are taking advantage of the many opportunities thus offered them at the regular Poli popular prices.

 Miss Bertha Davis, who has triumph ed In the first two offerings, will have the role of Germalne, which will give 5her ample opportunity to display her magnificent voice and Install her again las one of the favorites.

THE FIFTY
Gold Mines Corporation.

Attention Is called to the advertise
 ment of The Fifty Gold Mines corpora
 tion. The consolidation includes fifty
 four patented mines, among them be-
 ing the world-famous Gregory and Bob
 tail-the first two mines discovered in Colorado. The productions from these mines when worked separately, with
 crude methods, has been probably be-
 tween S30,000,00O and $40,0O0,000 in gold
 besides immense values in silver and
 copper The banks In Central City
 have record for their production in
 later years amounting to over ST, ,000 900
 in gold. When 1t Is taken into consld-
 eration that most of these mines are practically virgin ground having been worked only sufficiently to prove their value and to secure patents it can at once be seen that the deeper workings will yield still greater profits. It can
 truthfully be said that no safer or
 sounder corporation has ever been call- ed to the public attention that the Eff
 ty Gold Mines corporation. The officers are prominent business men of un- doubted integrity and ability. Some of them are Connecticut men and all of them are worthy of the utmost confl- dence. There are many prominent bus mess men of this city who have plac- ed their investments with this corpo- ration They are more than pleased with the results already and speak with justifiable enthusiasm with reference to the future prospects.
 The New Haven representatives of the corporation are J. Spence & Co.,, whose office Is located at room 712 Mal- ley building, Chapel street. They are well and favorably known throughout this section. An invitation is extended to all who desire full particulars as to those mines and advantages of invest Ing, etc, to visit the office. A beautiful book with choice and accurate illustra- tons will be given free to any and all applicants. This book was gotten up at considerable expense and was edited by General Frank Hall. It gives a full and complete history Of each mine and furnishes a vast amount of most in- teresting and valuable information. This book sells in Denver and other places at $1. It is we'll worth 1t. Anv one desiring information who cannot make a personal visit to the office will be furnished with all particulars by ad- dressing a note to J. Spence 6 Co, TIP Nalley building.

New Haven Brakeman Had Foot
 Crushed at WallIngford.
 Floyd Ferris, of 214 Worcester street. one of the brakemen on the regular "switcher," had narrow escape Sat urday morning, between and o'clock from losing his right foot. AS 1t was, his heel was badly smashed, but for tunately, due to good shoe, no bones were broken.
 He was standing on the dead wood on the end of freight car, ana while in the act of uncoupling the car from another car, his right foot slipped and the heel was caught between the two dead woods of the two cars. The heel of the shoe was taken completely off and his heel pushed up Tn the shoe.
 He was taken to the baggage room at the station and Dr. Wilson called, who dressed the foot.
 The 9:09 express was stopped and he was brought to New Haven on that train.

 It is not probable that the Yale Glee club will compete for the cup offered glee clubs, but should the local singing societies decide to enter, the judges would need their best judgment to award the prize.
