Premature Obituaries

One of the traditions of the office of the New York Herald has to do with an editor who was a great upholder of the infallibility of his paper. It simply couldn't make a mistake.
 A fustered citizen once burst into his office and hustled up to the editorial desk "See here!" he demanded. ''This obit- uary notice. It's all wrong!'
 "What's wrong about it?'' asked the editor in calm confidence.
 "Why, it's about me. I'm not deadr'
 If the Hearld says you're dead sternly replied the editor, "you're dead. But" he added magnanimously, If you don't like being dead we'll print your birth notice."
 His attitude was rather different from that of another editor. who. on being shown by the man most interested that the death of the complainant was falsely reported, apologized profusely and of. fered to make it all right '
 "Wen print correction at once," he said
 We'll" said the man who wash dead, perhaps it would be better to let it stand. I'll show it to my friends when they want to borrow money .-Woman's Home Companion.

A START TOWARD
 FIRE PROTECTION
THE BOARD OF TRADE BUYS HOSE
Hose Cart, and Other Equipment Has Also Been Purchased Feet of Reliable Hose Now Available for Use-More to Follow.

The money appropriated by the Ca naan Board of Trade for the purchase of fire fighting equipment was expended one day last week by Messrs A. P. Briggs, J. o. Roraback and H. M. Doty the committee appointed by the Board to have in charge this purchase and to receive and expend the proceeds of the Board of Trade drama, Nevada" which is to be presented for the purpose of raising hose purchasing funds.
 The $150.O0 which the Board appro- priated from its treasury purchased 250 feet of underwriters hose, guaranteed to stand 400 pounds pressure and for per iod of three years, an underwriters nozzle, a half dozen spanners or hose wrenches and hose cart of sufficient size for all practical purposes yet of a size which permits it's being drawn by one man.
 This equipment will, or should, arrive this week and Canaan will then be pro- vided with 450 feet of serviceable hose, two hose carts, and an ample supply of hose and hydrant wrenches, quantity of the latter having been made by a local blacksmith. by order of the con- mittee, several days ago.
 The matter of suitable quarters for the present equipment, and for that which may hereafter be purchased, is being seriously considered by the committed The old shed where the present hose and hose cart are housed is far from a suitable place. MT. Canf1eld's offer of a building at the rear of his business block to be used as hose house, and the feas- ibilitY of erecting building specially for this purpose, with hose tower at ! tached, in which to dry the hose after use, are being discussed. Later will come the question of an organized hose company. The committee believe the first thing to be provided are hose, ,scarts and place to shelter them but the other requisites will be obtained as soon as possible.
 It IS of course, not known what amount the drama will provide but it is hoped the proceeds from the production in Canaan, and in the other villages where it will probably be produced will at least make it possible for the committee to duplicate the order for hose and cart which was placed last wsek.

CLAIM DAMAGES
 ID PROPERTY
PETITION TO THE LEGISLATURE
Claim That Berkshire Power Com p-n%'s Dam has Caused Housatonic River to Back up and Cause Hin' dranCe to Travel, Etc.

Representative Clarey of Great Bar rington presented petition to the legis- lature from a number of citizens of Shef- field who claim that they have been damaged by the backing up of the wat CTS of the Housatonic river because of the Berkshire Power Company's dam near Canaan. They ask that "the at- torney general be authorized and direct ed to inquire and determine to what ex- tent rights and property of citizens of this commonwealth have been invaded and the sovereignty of the common wealth violated by the Berkshire Power company. They say the water of said river is held and set back upon and over lands and highways in Said town of Sheffield causing great destruction of property and, hindrance to travel and ask that the attorney general be author ized if he deems it expedient to institute legal or other proceedings in the name and at the expense of this common wealth to secure the removal or altera- tion of said dam and obtain compensa- ton for injuries caused by said main tenance."
 The matter has been referred to the joint judiciary committee and public hearing will be given.
