five men was organized and put to work
digging for the eighteen inch trunk
sewer through Aboett avenue begin
ming at Ridgedale avenue where there
is fourteen feet cut. 1t is planned
to take advantage of the dry weather
to get this line through under the

Lauenstein stable, the summit of the
system, and the work on the Maple

Hart streets is also about finished.
Two gangs are at work on Speedwell
avenue. One has nearly reached Henry

hole covers has been steadily prosecu-
ted during the week.

EARLY DAYS OF MORRIS CANAL
Engineer Beach's Prophetic View of
: Future Value Of Canal Reservoirs.

Engineer Beach's Prophetic View OF
: Future Value of Canal Reservoirs.
In report to George p. McCul-
Tough. Esq, president Of the Board Of
Canal Commissioners of the Morris Ca
nal, = July /, 1926, Ephraim Beach, the
engineer in charge of the building of
the Morris Canal, states that there
has been expended on the eastern sec
tion Gall east of the feeder at Hopat-
cong), S108,7O7 and on the western sec
tion, $97 ,457. Mr.. Beach says the orig
inaf estimate for the canal was $780,
900. In consequence of the advance in
cost of labor and material, and the in
crease Of from 10 to II miles in the
length of the canal, the cost would be
raised to about $1,O00,O00. He adds !:
" A trifie more might be protitably be
expended in order to create water
powers, which will probably be worth
twenty times more than they cost"

Make something that is just lit
tie bit better than any body else makes,
and mankind will come to your work
shop, although it may be located in
a forest
We have realized the truth Of this
hackneyed expression, for more and
more is 1t true that when somebody in
New York or Maine or California or
Louisiana wants particularly fine
piano, the local dealer is apt to say,
then you had better have Lauter."
The real truth is that we are making
pianos of such extremely fine quality
as to attract the discriminating in all
parts OF the country, and our whole
trade is increasing by leaps and bounds.
This is merely supplementary to
our vast retail business in our numer-
Gus warerooms throughout New Jer-
sey. At retail, as at wholesale, pur-
chasers in our home state, who appre-
ciate superlatively good quality, insist
upon having Lauter Piano. This
instrument grows in prestige and
artistic standing with the years.

Love and pathos intermingled with
contagious humor, framed in a picture
of rural simplicity, are the rudiments
of success of "Along the Kennebec," the
newest New England playlwhch will be
the attraction at the Middlebury Opera
House Oct. 8. No play written on this
popular theme has proven more success
full and it bids fair to rival in popularity
the most attractiy plays of modern times.
Special care has been taken securing the
company and the scenic production is
unsurpassed. The piece is full of good
bright comedy and the funny duel scene
causes screams of laughter. The com
pany carry an unusually good band and
orchestra this season.

FreIuht Rates.

" ou would be astonished to know how many big shippers in this state misunder- stand the new rate law, established by the Alabama legislature" said a conn mercial traveller in tho lobby of the Hill man last night
 T went to a merchant today, sold him bill of goods, and asked him by what route he desired them shipped. His an swer was: Any way except by the Louis ville and Nashville and the Central of Georgia, because those two lines refuse to accept the reduction proposed for the no commodities.
 That merchant really thought that this law affects interstate rates. and does not know that the state of Alabama cannot that all freight rates remain the same on all roads as they were before this agi- tation commenced. I am surprised at the Ignorance of soma business men and am sure that an absence of knowledge or the truth is doing unjust injury to more than one freight-carrying line."
 T esked this patron of my eastern house how much goods he bought from Mobile. Montgomery or Selma, and he laughed at me. saying that he never had bought a dollars worth from those towns since Birmingham became real city and a distributing point"
