CANAAN SEWER
 READY FOR USE
A SETTLEMENT WITH GAFFNEY
Executive Committee will Put the Sewer in Proper Order as Soon as Conditions are Favorable.

The Canaan sewer question is settled, at least that part of it which had to do with John W. Gaffney of Waterbury, to whom the contract for construction was awarded and who did not do his work to the satisfaction of the executive committee of the fire district.
 Gaffney came to town on Thursday of last week, met the committee and a settlement in full was effected, Gsffney, releasing the sewer district from all claims or demands against the sewer. The committee releases Gaffney from further claims under tile contract.
 Gaffney made substantial allow ance to the committee for the purpose of making the necessary repairs upon the sewer. These repairs the committee will not make until the weather Is settled and the ground dried out. They have decided to permit the use of the sewer, however, and connections may now be made by any who desire.
 The committee has made and assessed tax on the persons and property in the district served by the sewer for the en- suing, year, in accordance with the act of the legislature under which they are acting. The assessment list is now on file with town clerk E. D. Norton and may be inspected by any who desire.
 It is an exceedingly fortunate circum- stance that this settlement has been effected inasmuch as the section of the village through which the sewer pipes extend is ill very great need of means of sewage disposal.

And Curtis to be His Opponent Once
 More.
 The Great Harrington correspondent of the Springfield Republican says:
 Even thus early the democrats seem to have an eye open for the rspresen- tative contest in the Sth district, and it is apparent that there will be quite fight. It is expected that J. k. Clarey, the present representative, will again be n candidate for reelection, as he is getting onto the work in good shape and will in better position to accomplish more for the district another year. In view of this, the leaders among the democrats are not letting an opportunity escape them in the hope of defeating MT. Clarey, should he again become a can didate. Frank Curtis of Sheffield. who opposed him last fall, will again be pushed into the contest if possible, and they are confident that he will make n much better run than he did last fall. Since than he has made number of strokes which would count little in hls favor. At Sheffield, his native town, he has given the sum of 5000 for a new school-house and has been prominent in other affairs during the past few months. MT. Curtis has also gone step further and is interested in the new business venture in Great Harrington known as the Reliable knitting company. All these undertakings constantly keep him before the voters. Mir. Clarey will be as hard a candidate to defeat this year as he was last, as he has accomplished number of things for the benefit of the towns in the district.

WHEN AND HOW
Some Suggestions on the Time and
 Place for Hen Houses.

Some Suggestions on the Time and
 Place for Hen Houses.
 At this season of the year many people are turning their thoughts chickenward therefore the following suggestion as to hen house construction may prove seasonable and interesting. It is fnr- pished to THE NEWS by subscriber.
 As sunlight and warmth are essential to success, the buildings should face the south; other things being equal they will be warmer and drier. When a di- rect southern exposure cannot be ob- tained a southeastern is preferable to a southwestern exposure.
 When to build-It is best to build houses during the spring or early sum- mer, for then they have time to dry out during the hot days. Lumber is often rather damp and should be thoroughly dried out before winter. Cement floors and foundation walls will also have an opportunity to dry thoroughly.
 Size and dimensions of house-The size of the building required will de- pend largely on the number of fowls to be kept and on the size of the flock S From 40 to 50 seems to be about as many as is safe and economical to keep together. With focks of this size about square feet of floor space should be allotted to each bird, which will suffice in most cases. If the fowls are kept ill smaller flocks more floor space per bird will be needed.
 For the greatest amount of floor space for the least cost, building should be square, for, other things being equal the nearer square a house is the less lumber it will take. It is, however, out of the question to have a large house built square.
 The building should not be so wide, that the sun cannot reach the back of the house, otherwise it will be damp. Fourteen feet is convenient width if there are no alleyways.
 The house should be built as low as possible without danger of the attend ants pumping their heads against the ceiling. A low house is more easily warmed than high one.

CANAAN CONN. THURSDAY. APRIL 30, 1908

founded on the false assumption that it is necessary to destroy the germs" in the interior of the timber. The i'm pression doubtless arose from the fact that, after stick of timber begins to rot, it is impossible to tell just where the fungus spores germinated and gained entrance into the timber. More over, the fact that the interior of the wood may have reached an advanced stage of decay before there are any ex- ternal evidences of the fungi-such as fruiting bodies, or films of mycelium- tends to convince the casual observer that decay starts from the interior. Yet the wood destroying agencies start from the outside. This explains the efficacy of certain paints which merely form a superficial coating over the sur fLce of the timber, but which are poisonous enough to prevent the spores from germinating, or the hyph8 of most forms of wood-destroying fungi from penetrating into the unprotected wood in the interior. The ancients were in the habit of painting their statues with oily and bituminous prep arations to preserve them from decay. The great wooden statue of Diana at Ephesus, which was supposed to have descended miraculously from heaven, was protected from earthly decay by oil of nard. Pettigrew extracted the preser- vative fluids from the heart of an Egyptian mummy that had resisted de- cay for over 5000 years, and found that decomposition immediately set in. This showed that it was the presence of the antiseptics which prevented decay, and not chemical change of the tissues.

Reducing Expenses.

It is now the policy of the New Haven road to reduce the number of their em- ployees in every possible way. It is re- ported that Superintendent Lake con templated recently, as part of his pro- gram of expense reduction, the placing upon the telegraph operator at this sta ton the additional work of selling tick cts, thus doing away with the position of ticket agent, but it is not believed this can be accomplished at so important junction point as Canaan where the amount of telegraphic work is so great and 80 constant.

THE LITCHFlELD IAlL
So Pleasant the Prisoners Dislike to

So Pleasant the Prisoners Dislike to Leave. A Waterbury paper is responsible for the following reference to the county jail at Litchfield;
 Ut isn't nearly so wretched or pitt ful to be prisioner up in the Litchfield county jail as one would believe. In the ! first place the picturesque old building. which was erected back Tn 1911, doesn't look like jail; it looks like a fine old residence. It is right on the best street corner in the town in front of the park and the view from its windows is one of smooth, velvety lawns aud stately old elms.
 And the keepers at Litchfield jail do not parade around with eagle eyes peeled and Winchesters thrown over their shoulders. ! It Is common sight to see half doz- en prisioners in their blue overalls with white stripes, hoeiug up John Smiths potato patch or brushing up Bill Jones's lawn. Litchfield jail is sort of an em- 1 ployment bureau with good labor fur nished at short notice.
 After trying good many ways they have come to the conclusion that it's more profitable for the state and better for the prisoners to let them got out in the air and work. They don't make the prisoner work. It is voluntary with the men. And the jail folks don't 20. out looking for a job. If there was enough regular outside laborers to take care of Litchfeld in summer the prison CTS wouldn't do it.
 The prisoners are let out singly or in patches. When crowd goes. say s or 10, to work in n garden, they send along keeper or trusty to watch them. But there are dozens of prisoners there who are sent out alone and work at different private residences and come back for supper. They get l5 cents an hour and it amounts to quite an item for Litchfield County each yenr. Last year the prisoners earned between @ ,500 and $3, ,000.
 The prisoners take care of all the parks around the borough, two ceme- teries and even take care of the golf links,
 The jail is the neatest, cleanest place you ever saw. Everything is immacu- lately white washed and looks spick and span. There are between 40 and 80 men in jail now. Some of the prisoners can make bread and pie and while they don't go in much for the fancy dishes the fare is wholesome and healthful.
 They used to make chairs and brooms at the jail but this occupation didn't commence to bring in the money that outside laboring does. They make brooms up there yet and the villagers bring in cane furniture to be repaired once in while.

Bridge and Horses Went Down.

Our Canaan Valley correspondent writes: "The bridge over the Whiting river, near Wm. Canfield's, fell with a load of logs Saturday, horses, wagon and teamster going down together. Strange to say the man was but slightly hurt but one of the horses was considerably bruised and its back hurt somewhat. The bridge had been built but a few years and Mr. B. Gibson's engine had pissed over it shortly before which pro- bIbly weakened the timbers"

Made it Furnish Light and Power for ...,c1.. -., r....., Allowing Picture Show.
 A moving picture company, who gave an entertainment in the Salisbury town hall Monday and Tuesday evenings of this week, provided practical demon stration of the fact that the automobile can be made to learn its salt" They travel from place to place i'll n large tour Ing car, consequently it matters little tC them whether railroad traius are nn time. And they furnish their own light and power for the entertainments. In arranging for the Salisbury show, they backed the auto up to the building and from a dynamo fastened to the front seat extended light and power wires into the town hall auditorium. Then al,ou t 20 lights of 16 candle power each were suspended at various points, current for their operation being supplied by the dynamo which was operated by the Farwell- Gravell Moving Picture Go. and the Salisbury people say they gave the best show ever seen in Salisbury, inas- much as the electric current provides clear pictures.
 This is the first instance of operating moving picture machinery by auto in Connecticut. The idea originated in the brain of Superintendent Farwell of the American Tube and Stamping Com- pany, of Bridgeport, brother of one of the owners of the moving picture ma chinery. The idea is being tried out in the smaller villages and if it proves auc- cessful, (which it has thus far), it will be put into use in larger places. The company consists of four people. They were Ill Lime Rock Saturday night and from salisbury went to Norfolk.
