RISE OF THE WATERS
CAUSE OF MUCH APPREHENSION
Roads Inundated and Cellars Filled Villages Without Light or Power Elevator Raised Water Instead O Grain-Water now Recedinu.

The high water which prevailed as we went to press last week has not en- tirely subsided even now but has rooeded sufficiently so that all danger of damage to property has passed. The Housatonio and the Blackberry rivers rose several feet and much land was flooded. The septic tank, connected with the Canaan sewer system was nearly two feet under water. The photograph which is repro duced on this page shows that the dam at the Berkshire Power Company's plant has practically no effect on the height of the water inasmuch as 1t is as high below the dam as above it.
 At Ashley Falls last Wednesday morn ing when B. A. Peirce started the machi- nery in the Red Mills he was surprised to find water dripping through the upper floors of the building. Investigation showed that the water was so high that the grain elevator was elevating water instead of grain and distributing it through the building in buckets full.
 The Cooper Hill road near the village was also covered with water and was impossible. Many fields were submerged.
 The Berkshire Power Company's dam was i'll considerable danger, as stated last week, caused by the water, both above and below it, washing away the soil at the west end of the concrete work, but prompt action saved it. An additional concrete wall will be con structed to.afford protection in the future. The water subsided sufficiently during Thursday to permit the operation of the plant Thursday night when the Canaan domestic lights were operated although their was not power enough in the wheels to light them to their usual brilliancy.
 On Saturday night Sharon, Norfolk and Millerton received light although ? the back pressure of the water still les sened the power. Power was supplied to the various industries Thursdays.

ROAD VOTE RESCINDED
CLAYTON HIGHWAY WILL REMAIN
Residents of Clayton Object to Aban- donment of Old Turnpike and Their Wish is Granted by Unanimous Vote.

The adjourned town meeting was held at Town Hall Saturday afternoon, at the conclusion of the special meeting. for the purpose of further considering the proposition to construct new highway near Clayton as previously explained in THR NEWS. ...a. ...
 Several Clayton men were present and all were opposed to the change.
 Selectman A. P. Briggs explained to the meeting that the proposition is to close 8 portion of the old Boston 6 Albany turnpike near Clayton, and thus save the expense of maintaining two bridges. The proposed highway would extend across field belong to Frank Miller and would be about 60 rods long MT. Briggs said that he had been ap- preached by 20 men who live in that vicinity who want the road to remain where it is. II would like to please these people and do not believe it will cost 5000 per year to keep this road ia re- pair, If it should cost Canaan S1500 or $20.00 1t seems to me-" said MT. Briggs, penny wise and pound foolish not to give these people what they want, the road they have travelled for years"
 Daniel L. Peirce moved that the pre- vious vote to change the course of the highway be rescinded and the motion was unanimously carried. It was also voted to raise $500 to take up the rail- road bond as in past years and the selectmen were authorized to make tenn porary loans for general purposes if the same is found necessary.

SL|CHTED BY WESTON
HE DID NOT COME TO CANAAN
Took a Short Cut from East Canaan to Sheffield - He Was 22 Miles Ahead of His Schedule - In Good Condition,


 Edward Payson Weston. aged 69 years, the pedestrian who is walking licate his feat of 40 years ago, reached Norfolk from Torrington few minutes after II o'clock Tuesday morning. He rested nearly one and one-half hours then resumed his journey but did not enter Canaan, thereby disappointing many who were awaiting his arrival. Instead he branched off the road leading to Canaan, at Whislng River mill, about a mile east of East Canaan, taking the old turnpike to Clayton, Mass, thence the road across the plain which meets the main road about half mile north Of Ashley Falls, thence through Shelf field directly to Great Burlington. thence to West Stockbridge where he stopped for sleep and then started for Troy, N. Y.
 From Norfolk to Clayton he was accompanied by Miss O'Brien, the daughter of a Norfolk liveryman, and William O'Connor, a Norfolk business man.
 About one-fourth mile east of Clayton he was met by c. H. Pease of The News who accompanied him to Ashley Falls. Ec reached the point near Ashley Falls above referred to, at 800 o'clock, hay ing walked from Norfolk at the rate of four miles per hour.
 Near Clayton two calves were tied along the highway, one on each side. These animals approached each other the ropes with which they were tied completely blocking MT. Weston's course. MT. Pease ran ahead, led one of the calves to the roadside, pushed it into the bushes and held it there, enab- ling the pedestrian to proceed without leaving the path in which he was walking. ...
 At Sheffield he paused few moments to partake of refreshment and it was here that he paid tribute to the Berk- shire county egg. He remarked that the Berkshire eggs which are claimed to be fresh are fresh but that York state eggs taste as if they had been fresh in 1900 B. O.
 Speaking of his trip through this state, he said thaf the worst stretch of road he had encountered was that between Plain field and Willimantio.
 MT. Weston's schudule is as follows,
