which was foisted by Charles e. Dag
enette, outing agent for the south
west Indians. who has taken up the
matter with the department.
These Indians are the White River
Utes who became disgruntled whep
the Unitah reservation in Utah was
opened up for settlement. The Utes
sent different representatives to
Washington to protest against the
opening of the strip. Failing to Sc
cure what they thought was their
rights, the Indians left the reserva-
ton and went into South Dakota
where they caused much trouble and
annoyance. They were subsequently
rounded up by the United States cav
airy and have been prisoners at Fort
Meade ever since.
The American Beet Sugar company
employs many Indians of the south
west, who are under the immediate
direction of R. P. Collins. formerly
superintendent OF the Indian school
at Albuquerque. The sugar COM
pany guarantees to pay the Indians
$500 year for the head OF each fam
lily in the Ute band. Also the com
pany promises camping grounds and
plenty Of frewood and water and
tents for the nomads.

Quails are many times more valuable

The natural enemies of quails are
snakes, foxes, weasels, minks, skunks,
domestic cats, certain hawks and
owls. One rattlesnake has been
known to have eaten FIVE young birds
at one meal.
Legislation has been directed
against house cats in number OF

M. S. Regnier, who came in from

year and that the people there must
have Touring mill. He says they
can double the capacity of wheat pro-
duction in year. II conditions will be
favorable. He complains that wheat
at $1.10 is not enough; that 1876
pounds Of wheat will make 100 pounds

and cannot afford to haul wheat to

HEBRAIC
HOLIDAYS
The Celebration Of the Jewish
New Year Commenced
on Sunday Night.
THE BIBLICAL TEXT HERE CITED

The series of Jewish holidays was
inaugurated on Sunday evening by the
celebration of Rosh Hashona,n or
the New Year, the beginning of the
year 566S cf the Hebraic calendar.
The Biblical text for the celebration
of the New Years festival is found in
Leviticus, 23, "a. %, as follows:
And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying, Speak unto the children of Is
rael, saying, In the seventh month,
in the first day of the month, shall We
have Sabbath, a memorial OF blowing
of trumpets, an holy conyocation.
"Ye shall do no Servile work there
in, but ye shall make an Offering made
by fire unto the Lord. "
The seventh month of the Hebrew
calendar is Tishri, and the first day of
the month is Monday, September 8,
but as all Jewish festivals commence
the evening before, the celebration
was therefore begun on Sunday even
ing, and with the orthodox Jews will
end this evening. The reform Jews
content themselves with one day.
Yom Kippur, or Day of Atonement,
strict fast day, occurs on Wednesday
of next week, September Is, and this
is followed by Succoth, the harvest
feast, which begins on Monday, Sep
tember %, and lasts eight days.
The celebration of the Jewish New
Year interfered somewhat with the
opening of the public schools, and also
on Monday number Of local business
places were closed. Services were held
in the synagogue on~Washington
street.
The Morris County chronicle., 1907-09-10
SEWER NOTES. :

The engineers estimate for the
month of August shows that Contract
or Costa during the month laid 1900
feet of tile drains, 1920 feet of of iron
force main, and built thirty-nine man
holes.
The rain has interfered with the
progress of the sewers this week con-
siderably. Speedwell avenue is still
uEder way and the gangs will be there
for week, at least. Ogden place is
making steady progress. Work on
Bank street has been resumed and is
progressing. Most of the gangs have
been at the other end of the Fourth
Ward. James street has been finished
except short stretch near the ejector
chamber. Macculloch avenue has been
severed to a point nearly to Perry
street, and Madison street has been
done from Macculloch avenue to the
top of the hill by the Bayley School.
Green street is under way. The gang
also continues the work on Albeit
avenue.
On Monday sixty of the laborers
were put to work on South street be-
tween Boykin street and the Lyceum
and later additional men were put on
this section from other parts of the
town.

LARGE LOCOMOTIVE FOR ERIE

Comparing the Latest Accession with
the First Locomotive on the Line.
The Morristown & Erie Railroad on
Friday placed an order With the Amer
ican Locomotive Comany for a new To-
comotiye for that line. The new en-
gine will weigh eighty-tive tons, have
eight driving wheels, cary lso pounds
steono pressure, be provided with the
Wellschech or grasshopper valve
gear. and will have tender with Ca
pacity of 5000 gallons of water. When
the road was first organized as the
Whippany River Railroad, J. E. Ne
lick bought an engine, the Whippa-
ny,n which still stands, what is left of
it, below the Hanover Mills at Whip
pany. He bought it of a company
dealing in secondhand railroad equip
ment, paying on the installment plan.
1t is said he held up months board
bill at the hotel where he was then
stopping in order to raise the SlC0 for
the initial instalIment. Mr.. Melick is
sometimes laughed at, but he did
things and built railroads when every
body said he would fail and when he
did not know sometimes where the
next dollar was coming from.
Since the . Whippany' was retired
the company has hired engines from
the Lackawanna or Erie roads, and of
coure these roads did not always send
the best engine on the system for such
duty. To overcome the handicap of
poor engines at times the directors de-
cided to purchase brand-new engine
of large power.
1t will probably be the first locomo-
tive to reach Morristown with the
grasshopper valve gear, unless the
Eackawanna happens TO send one Of
it's new big engines of that class
through here in the near future, which
is not likely, the locomotives being
necessary on the tunnel runs. The &C.
centres under the boiler are done
away and the gear placed outside the
steam chests as in the original iocomo-
tives, their shape giving them the
name of grasshopper. 1t is promised
for February delivery.
