SURVEY IS FINISHED
READY FOR TROLLEY BUILDING

The Public is Anxiously Awaiting the
 Beginning of Construction-Repo
 That the Work will not be Begun
 Until Next Summer.
 Every day one hears the question, "When will the company commence the construction of the road to Canaan" All are anxious to see the work com menced.
 It will open a section of the country where the train service has not been good for out-of-town trading and with cars every hour people will be inclined to come to the larger towns frequently to do their shopping and the various merchants will derive a benefit from it. The company has every arrangement completed for the building of the road and the delay in starting it cannot be accounted for. The railroad commits sioners have given them the right to go ahead with the work and every day 1t is expected that men will arrive to com mence the excavations.
 The surveyors have completed their work on the proposed loop from Great Burlington to Canaan via Lake Buel and have gone to other quarters to make similar surveys for the company. The survey is in such shape that the com pany could go ahead and construct the road without further expense in that line. Engineer Knight was instructed when he went to work on the proposed route to make final and accurate sur vey for the road. It is not expected that the road will be built this year but those who are in position to know feel confident that it will be started next summer. ...
 Nothing more has been heard of the proposed Egremont spur but the resi- dents of that village feel confident that it will be built as soon as the Canaan ex- tension is started.

MORE HOUSES NEEDED
ASHLEY FALLS PLANT REGISTERING


 Erection of Half Dozen Tenements
 for Employes-NewQ Quarry Produces
 Good MarbIe-Large Contracts.
 The Ashley Falls Marble Company is a busy concern and is keeping things lively in the Massachusetts, hamlet just over the border. They recently open ed a new quarry which is developing some very fine stone.
 As previously mentioned, this com- pany has the contract to furnish the stone for a bank building in Bristol, Conn. Of this material three carloads have been shipped.
 The force are now bending their ener- g1es to complete the contract for stone to be used in the construction of the Dayton, O., Y. M. O. A. building, also previously mentioned. Shipments of this material have been made from time to time since last July, about 30 carloads thus far. It will probably require six months more to complete the work, as an additional order for material for this building has been received. The addi- tional material consists of finely polished work such as wainscoating and toilet room furnishings for seven floors. The additional contract calls for from 10000 to 25, ,000 feet of marble.
 Because of its increased business, the company has had to employ additional workmen, which has created an almost unprecedented demand for living apart ments in Ashley Falls and in several in stances families are living in cramped quarters because they cannot obtain any thing better.
 About the middle of June the annual meeting of the company will be held in Plainfeid, N. J., and at that time the advisability of constructing half dozen attractive tenement houses will come up for discussion and decision.

Why Opals are "Unlucky.' -

The world is full of superstition,
and one of the worst is that the
opa! ia "nnlucky.' This superstI
ton arose when the "'black death -
swept Europe. AT that time the
opal was very unpopular, and some
noticed that when a victim of the
disease was dying the opal on the
finger frightened and when he was
dead it became dull, Of course, this
took the popular fancy and at once
opals became "unlucky" and have
remained so ever since. Very like
ly they do not change at all on
the fingers of a dying person, and
the whole matter is like that ques
tion which once caused so much
discussion in the scientific world,
i. e., why is it that when you put a
fish in a bowl Of water the weight
of the bowl is rot increased7 Many
learned answers were given, but
finally one duffer weighed bowl
of water with and without the FISH
in it. and thus settled the matter
