made survey of the lands at the Hine
mill site, and gagged the river at the
time. According to his report a head
Of 100 feet can be attained by building
q dam twenty feet high across the
stream about 700 feet below the Barnes
line on the east side Of the river that
would impound about 100000 cubit feet
Of water. AT the time of the survey
after month of conspiouously dry
weather, the stream was dscharglng 50
cubic feet of water second The rain
fall at New Milford for month pre-
vious to the gauging aggregated 4
inches, representing 12S cubic feet per
second as the monthly rate, and show
ed runoff of about 66 per cent OF the
rainfall. With 100 feet head and 50 GU
bic feet of water per second, 720 horse
power of 1920 horsepower hours daily
would be generated.
If a trolley line as planned with
branches to Bah's Pond and Squants
Pond could be operated by Rocky riv-

satisfied, and everybody who regards
with pride the development of the
Housatonic valley would be pleased,
Poetic justice would be satisfied be-
cause the lakes mentioned are drained
by Rock river and the water contrib
uted to the stream would be returned
in electricity to develop the land around
the territory where it originated,-Ne

Christianity by st. Joseph. What is
even more extraordinary. the Protest
ant Queen Elizabeth and Archbishop
Parker both claimed that St. Joseph
was the first preacher Of the gospel in
England, for from very early times it
has been called "the first ground Of
God"
About the year 1870 there was UNI
dcubtedly a Christian mission some
where near this spot. There is evil
dence that in the YEAR 439 st. Patrick
visited Glastonbury and became its
first abbot In $50 st. David, accom-
panied by many of his suffragan bish-
ops, visited Glastonbury. St. David
was an uncle Of the renowned King
Arthur, who in 543 fell on the field Of
battle and was buried within the walls
of the old abbey. Camden, the histor>
ian, gives an account of theopening 5f
King Arthur's grave by Henry II. of
England. Leland, the famous English
antiquary, says the abbey contains the
graves of King Arthur and his Queen,
Guinevere, and King Edmund, King
Edbar, Edmund Ironside, Coel, King
of Great Britain; the father Of Helen,
mother of Constantine the Great, ard
many other saints and holy men, in
luding st. Joseph of Arimathea.

The cougar, when followed by the

its pursuer passes and then perhaps
take the back track for miles. After a

says to this driver:

And the driver takes this in the
spirit in which it is offered, and with
out wasting a word in reply he gives
just the slightest nod of his head to
signify that he will and that's all
there is to this part Of the job.
The driver keeps right along with
the stream up Maiden lane as though

CHILD LABOR IN THE SOUTH.


immigration of the Right Kind Of
Laborers Is Encouraged.
The shortage of labor In the South
ern cotton mills Is great and grow
ing impeachment to the welfare of that
industry. There are several reasons
for this. One is the general scarcity Of
labor, efficient labor, throughout the
whole South. Another is the fact that
the high price of cotton for the past
two years has made the wages paid
on the farms and the conditions Of
tenant life more attractive, and thus
families that left the farms for the
mills have gone back to the farms
Still another is the reproach of child
labor in the mills, and the growing
consciousness of the parents that 1t is
rather shameful thing to be support
ed themselves by the toll of their
young children.
The whole country has recently
awakened to the evils of this system,
the papers and the magazines have
been discussing it fully and the dis
cussion has had this effect among
others. Moreover the attitude Of most
of the mills toward labor organiza-
tons has deferred the filling up Of the
vacancies caused by the return to the
farms with skilled labor from other
sections Of the country, as has been
done in other industries. The steady
removal Of the negro hands and ten
ants from the farms in the South to
the cities and then to the North, has
made the pressure greater for farm
labor, and, as was said, with the in
ducement that can now be offered to
factory families to return to the farms
the factory spindles and looms are idle
by the hundred thousand,
In the meantime, there is CORES
ponding pressure brought to bear upon
the families that remain, with the
steady increase of wages, in the faI-
tories also, to employ children even
under the legal age in the spinning
rooms. Southern laws on this subject
are as yet ineffective, through want
of factory inspection and any ade-
quate means Of enforcement.
The inducing of immigrants from
Europe to come to the Southern mills
is one great method of remedying the
child labor sevil Few enlightened mill
men really want to employ children, 1t
is false economy. Child labor is waste
full and inefficient, naturally, Where
piecework is done by the operatives it
is infinitely cheaper to employ adult
skilled labor. But when the spindles
are idle, and it is question of en-
ploying child labor or none, the bal
ance is to often thrown against the
real interests of the child.
On this account, as we'll as for the
sake of the cotton mill industry, we
regard it as most unfortunate that
there should have been federal inter-
ference with the manufacturers of
North and South Carolina, in the first
attempt on any large scale to solve
the labor question with immigrants
from Europe. It is a question where
technicalities ought to be waived In
consideration of the larger problem.
We can understand the desire of or
ganized labor to see that the alien
contract law is enforced. Where a
strike is impending, say in the coal
mines, it would be too easy for the
coal operators to have few ship
loads of immigrants from Europe

you can't make it. You'll have to
have another team"
This was the verdict Of mounted
policeman, delivered to man with q
truck with a load of three iron col
umns, drawn by single pair of hors-
es, trying to make his way from the
East River to Broadway by way of
Maiden lane. He had got as far as
midway between William and Nassau
streets, but there is stiff grade to
climb between William street and
Broadway, and now he was stuck.
His horses were good ones, able and
willing, too; they responded to every
call the best they could; but the load
was just simply beyond them on that
grade; and when the driver started
them now they strained and tugged,
and then Just went down on their
knees: and it was then that the
mounted cop, who had had his eye on
the outfit, slid along past and just
casually said to the driver as he went
by, 'you can't make il" keeping on
his way himself, while the driver of
the truck sat upon the forward end of
one of those columns and waited.
The mounted cop keeps on down to
William street and swings around
there in William street close to the
curb, with his horses head at Maiden
lane, and waits calmly, with an eye
on the passing traffic, for the right
sort of outfit to come along. Light de-
livery wagons pass, each with single
horse, and single trucks, plenty Of
