s FOR EACH TREE
That Derby Contractor Failed to
 Plant on Mlddlebury Road.

Stnte Highway Commissioner Me- Donald suggests that the city Of Wa terbury deduct from the money due John Fagan's Sons of Derby the con tractors, who did the last piece of state road work on the Middlebury road, the sum of $3 each for cer- tain number of trees which the con tractors agreed to plant, but which have not been set out. Mir Pagan represents that he bought the trees, but when he started to plant them he could not find places for all of them and as Il consequence q few were left on his hands. He would gladly plant them if he could find room. He paid dollar each for the trees and does not see any fairness in deducting $3 each for them. In fact some of the commissioners think that so long as the contractors had the trees and tho officials could not find room for them, it is not fair to deduct anything from the bill for this item. There was a good deal of truth in what Commis- sioner Walker said when he told Mir Pagan that if nobody was willing to show him where to set the trees he had left over he should have stuck them down some place.

 ''Mr. Oliver's contract Is to dig the entire canal. He Is to furnish all the labor and do all the work. The govern. ment is to turn over to him whatever additional machinery is needed. The government Is to police the isthmus and have entire charge of the sanitary arrangements.
 "The estimated cost of the work is $14O.000,O0O. and the contractor is to get 6A per cent of that amount for his compensation If he gets the job done on time. It Is provided that forfeit of $1OO,0OO month shall be paid by the contractor if he fails to finish the work in time, while he is to get bonus of $l00,0O0 for every month he finishes the job ahead of time.
 "The time limit has not yet been agreed upon. I should say. in general way, we ought to be able to do the work in seven or eight years"

PEOPLE STILL TALKING.

For nearly three years. one of the chief topics of conversation in edu- cated circles has been the wonders of the x-Rays. There are now very few people who don't know about this strange radiant light that has the property of penetrating and pass ing through nearly every known sub stance. Almost everybody knows the value of the X-Rays in examining diseased conditions of the human body. Those who do not should read up the matter in the books and peri odicals accessible to the public, or go to the Radio-Chemic Physicians for a free demonstration. An X-Ray ex- animation can be obtained by the sick. or an ailing person. without a penny to pay. On all sides may be heard the familiar say: You can rely on the x-Ray Doctors"

 NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Funds to pro vide comfort for Mrs. Jessamy steele daughter of Bret Harte, who Is in tho almshouse at Portland, Me, were sent from this city by Miss Eleanor Robson.

 Miss Robson Is personating one sl Bret Harte's characters in "SalomH Jane," and when she read of the straits of Mrs. Steele she immediately took measures for relief. She tele. graphed the mayor of Portland ask. ing about the woman and received thla reply:
 Mrs. Steele is in Portland aims. house. She Is without money and un- balanced mentally. Her case . mosl pitiful one"
 Miss Robson in reply asked what money would be needed and said shs would give the benefit. She had mean while communicated with Mark Twain, Edward J. Ganney. president of the California society in New York, and the publishers of Bret Harte's wo- .. All promised cooperation. Mark Twain wrote.

Iowa Senator Discusses Proposed Leg.
i g. :s g. islation. IT.
Washington, D. c., Nov. 29.-Sena.
tor Allison, who reached here last
evening, discussed the outlook for
currency legislation briefly and gave
it as his opinion that if congress did
anything it would be in the way Of
Legislation for emergency currency.
The senator said much would de-
pend on the financial conditions and
whether the existing stringency con.
tinued
81 think 1t likely the present trouble
will be over in ten days." said Sena-
tor Allison. "If it keeps on, then 1t
will be necessary to enact some meas
ure providing for emergency cur
rency."
Asked whether he thought there
was prospect of legislation for asset
currency. along the lines of the Fow-
Ter bill and similar proposed meas
ures, Senator Allison said he thought
any emergency currency authorized
would be safely guarded, though he
said he was not prepared to say just
what safeguards would be required.
He further thought there would be
no national banking legislation and
that congress would confine itself, SO
far as efforts to relieve the existing
conditions or prevent their repetition
were concerned to emergency cur.
rency. He added that legislation
touching a modification of the exist
ing central reserve city plan was
something that might properly be
taken up, but he did not think 1t
would be done at this session.
