The Real Reason.

Someone has started the report in Mil lerton that the reason the Berkshire Power Company does not light the Mil lerton streets and the various buildings which are wired is because of scarcity of water in the stream operating the electrical machinery at Canaan. There IS absolutely no truth in the report. There is plenty of water in the stream and the sole reason why Millerton streets and buildings are not illuminated is be- cause certain electrical equipment, known as transformers. have not arrived although they were ordered weeks ago. The company is as anxious to light Mill lerton as Millerton is to be lighted and the current will be turned on ill jig time when the transformers arrive,

Boy Bitten by a Rattler

Howard Royce, who lives on the Un- der mountain Sheffield road near Great Harrington, had an interesting expert ence with rattlesnake few days ago. He went out looking for the reptiles and intended bringing one of them home alive. He had little trouble in finding the snake and succeeded in getting a string over it's head. The snake then crawled into crevice in rock and the boy tugged away at the string. The reptile suddenly gave spring and bit the young man on the hand. Realizing the danger from the bite, he killed the snake and then sucked the poison from wound.

CAMP MEETING IS IN PROGRESS
TIT IS A FAMOUS ANNUAL EVENT
The Attendance is Fairly Good but it Would be Better if the Train Ser vice was More Convenient-Meet- inns CIosp Sunday


 The fortieth annual camp meeting of the Poughkeepsie District of the New York Conference, M. E. Church opened on Sunday morning at Pine Grove camp ground near Canaan and although the lack of railroad facilities has of late years injurously effected the meetings so far there has been fair attendance at the services.
 Rev. J. G. Oakley preached m able sermon in the morning his fine voice penetrating the entire grove.
 The speaker of the afternoon was the Rev. T. R. Wallace whose sermon on "The Companionship of Christ" was very we'll received. By far the largest audience of the day was at the evening service when "Christy's Old Organ" a service of song with connective readings was rendered by large and splendid choir who were under the direo- tion of Professor Bowden of Adelphia College, Brooklyn, N. Y. The story which was read by MT. Wallace, was full of pathos and its gospel lesson so beautifully taught in narrative and song went home.
 Monday was a day of rest social de- light as people and pastors arrived and renewed old friendships.
 On Tuesday morning under the di- rection of Rev. T. R. Wallace of Canaan who presided in the absence of the Pre- siding Elder, rich session of tho Sunday School Association of the state of Connecticut was held the speakers be- ing Rev. Dr. Beloher of New York, Rev. Dr. Adams, Presiding Elder New York District of N. Y. E. Conference, Colonel Lindsay of the American Volunteers and Rev. J. W. Lee the State Secretary. Not little of the enjoyment of this meeting was contributed by the singing of Mrs. Lindsay (Patty Watkins.)
 The platform presented an interest ing sight in that the speakers repre- sented Canada. Scotland, Ireland, Eng- land and America. The afternoon session was attended by rather larger company than the morning one.
 Mir. Rae held his deeply interested audience while Mrs. Rae again sang her gospel songs. The delightful day and the beauty of the Grove seemed to in- spire speakers and audience alike.
 Miss Gladys De Hart presided at the organ and will continue as organist throughout the week.

and make strenuous effort to devise some means whereby this industry may remain in Canaan but they can accom- plish nothing without the cooperation of the citizens of Canaan.
 Here is an instance where much is at stake, where present action will have much to do with the future development of Canaan for the reason that if it is found impossible to retain the industries the village now has, the Board of Trade will be reluctant to make overtures to new ones and concerns that might under ordinary conditions look upon Canaan as desirable location for their plants, would hesitate to consider it if there were doubts on the question of help and quarters.
 Therefore the present situation practi- cally resolves itself into the question of accommodations for the operators inas- much as manager Roberts believes he could obtain help if they could find rents or boarding places here.
 Now is the accepted time for the loyal and public-spirited citizens of Canaan to step forward and help the village to con tinue it's commercial progress by erect ing large boarding house and some moderate priced tenements. They will cost more than they would have cost five years ago but they will rent for a greater sum and if the village prospers, their valuation will have increased con- siderably in five years.
 There never has been time in Ga naan's history when there were more inducements for the erection of buildings than now. During the past two years, gressed i'll every particular, state roads have been constructed, new residences and business buildings have been built, The National Bank has been established and now the sewer system is being con- structed, the hotel is about to be re- opened and there are evidences of pros perity on every hand.
 Will the citizens of Canaan allow it to be said that the limit of expansion has been reached in the village, that the scarcity of houses precludes it's future growth? And will the out-of-town people who have money to invest ignore this opportunity to invest it so as to yield liberal and immediate rate of in- terest? There is no village in this sec- tion where there is stronger assurance of real estate profit, where an investment of this sort would be safer than in Ga naan.
 If there are Canaanites so situated that they can provide board for one or more young ladies, they can be of as- sistance to the Reliable Company by in- forming them of the fact. These young women are willing to pay prevailing prices for board and simply expect com fortable and ordinary accommodations.
 Therefore, in conclusion, if you wish to help Canaan, build house or two, if you want to help Canaan, accommodate boarder or two, if you reside out of town and wish to help yourself as well as Canaan, invest your money in real estate there and watch it increase in value.
