Trunk Roads for Connecticut.

Connecticut was prominent at the closing sessions on last week Tuesday of the New England Conference of Gov ernors, in Boston. \ paper by High way Commissioner ] II. Macdonald, of this State, faVoring trunk roads, got much applause.
 The Commissioner spoke on afrunk Lines of Highways for New England. ' Next to education as matter of pub lie policy, second of all the great ques- tions of administration, is the question Of improvement of public highways, he said
 "roo long the people have neglected to take II up. Well il k that New En- gland leads In taking 1t up. There are ss ,ooa miles of roads in New England and less than r. ,0a miles of them are improved. Uniform laws should be had 10 the point of comparison of me thods employed. It was question how far the people of the six States | were ready for uniform laws, but IL would be well to have the people edu- cated on the matter. Good roads and free rural delivery are only beginnings Of what will be done to bring the pco- pie together. In Rhode Island the po- pulation Is a07 to the square mile, and In Maine 1t Is only 23, and we have hardly begun to rub elbows together. There ought to be a splendid highway connecting all of the New England ca pitfalls together. tApplause.l
 "He had planned trunk line of highways for New England. In Mas. sachusetts every important business center has been taken care of, and the system has been intellgently planned to meet the needs of other States. He had planned II trunk lines in his own State. First Is that l2i miles long, from Portchestef, N. Y., to Westerly, k. |. Yet there are only 400 miles in system out of S2,0U miles of road in the State. The first named line Is the basis of all the others. First of all, the business of State should be taken care of, and after that the pleasure of travel. tAppIsuse.1
 n"Automobiles give the Commissions CTS many sleepless nights, MT. Macsio- nald continued. "lt is not faln to ask any road, built by mortal man, to be subject to this wear, and stand up un- A.s NA.. h,,Yl.f{n.x i,.a r>aAs in this country as any under God, sun. We make as good repairs as are made anywhere. What we want cannot be done tn \ moment. But the delegates from each State must So back and do all they can to secure the reform. l.o- cal pride and resentment of interfer- enee in local affairs by outsiders will tend To defeat the cooperation of the States. Each State must be a law unto itself, but each ought to do something for trunk lines To connect ali the States together according To some definite plan. Then there should be neither Democratic nor Republican politics in this matter, but impartial devotion to To the welfare of the people. lAp- plause.l
 ''lf NC are ever to have such trunk lines ihey'mus, he built by appropri- ations out of the State treasuries. tAp- plausel New England has something which other States of the country do not have. We have great mountains lining their mighty heads 10 heaven with colors finer than any ever paint ed hy the brush of the master.

Women and Morals.

We hope that women who claim their rights will use them soberly and well. IL is of i'll omen that most of the novels that throw morality to the winds and picture vicious living in se ductive colors as an exercise of free dom and self realization are written by women. Women are the natural custo- dians If a high moral standard and if they lower the standard they will fall themselves and drag men down with them

The Colorado State Fair.

Hon. ]. H. Crowley has been ap
pointed vice president of the Colo
RADIO State Fair Association for this
county, and with well known energy
and ability, is accomplishing much
toward the success of the institution
which has thus honored him. One
vice president has been chosen for
each county of the state, which Of
fcers will have general charge of the
preparation of county exhibits, and
will use their influence throughout
their respective counties to inter-
est as many individual exhibitors as
possible. In this connection, Mr..
Crowley, with his wide and favorable
acquaintance, will be able to work
much good for the fair and the prob:
abilities are that with the increased
general interest which has been mani
Tested in the fair this year, there
will be shown at Pueblo, Sept. "a to
collection of this county's products
than has ever before been assembled.
We urge every reader of The Enter
prise to plan to send something to
the State Fair. Full information re-
garding premiums, steps necessary in
making entries, etc, can be secured
from Mr.. Crowley who is anxious to
get in touch with intending exhibit
on. 1t is predicted that live stock
raisers will exhibit much more numer-
ously than heretofore, owing to the
liberal concession made by the man
agement in allowing all stall space
free. excepting to race horses. The
new premium books are being mail
ed out, and all persons desiring one
can secure it from Mr.. Crowley in
person. or by mail by addressing the

The Omaha Grain Exposition

The greatest grain exposition ever
held in the world will be from Decem-
ber 9th to 10Th. inclusive, at Omaha,
Nebraska. Although this Is called
the National Corn Exposition. the
word corn is used in its broadess
sense and includes all the grains ana
grasses. q.
Last year this exposition was held
in Chicago; the value of all premiums
this year the prizes will exceed this
amount.
The largest prizes offered, and
those that will have the largest num-
Der of entries, are the sweepstakes
prizes for the best corn, wheat. and
oats. The Colorado farmers cannot
hope to win the corn prize, but they
should put forth their best efforts to
capture the wheat and oat prize:
Nearly all the western states have
raised funds or offered specials for the
best wheat and oats from their state.
in order to encourage a large exhibit;
so far Colorado is the only state that
ha: not supplemented the premiums
offered by the exposition.
The prize for the best wheat is val.
ucd at 5000. The grain will be n,illed
in the Exposition Building. and the
flour baked. The actual milling. and
baking results will be the deciding
feature of this prize.
Can you realize what the winning
of this prize means to a state1 Can
you realize how much advertising Col
orado would get all over the world
should we be fortunate enough to
l;rd the prize? We can do it IT we
will contribute something so as to be
able to offer some prizes as encour-
Your cooperation is asked in this
matter; we rus. act without delay.
Next month the premium list will be
published and then Il will be too late.

ATLANTIC CITY, November !. 1893.
Election is over; 1t didn't snow the next
day, and everything is running along as
smoothly in Atlantic City as though such
heard of. The only thing that would indi-
cate an election is the tired and weary
look on the faces Of some and the hapnv
expression Of others among the men VS.
itors at the several hotels. There are
many politicians from various cities OF
the country here taking a much-needed
rest after the strenuous life of the last
few weeks.
The remarkable fall weather which the
resort has been enjoying right along this
year still continues, and everybody is
ing houses. There has not been enough
of cold to make people generally start the
fires in their cottages. although the hotels
have turned on their heat. that some of
the people unused to the climate NAV be
made quite comfortable in the evening
and at night.
In spite of the lateness of the season
there are quite a few people who still
keep up their regular daily ocean baths.
Among the number who keep up their
baths are Mr.. and Mrs. ]. s. Harveson of
New York city. who are staying at the
Marlborough-Ble Not a morning
passes but they get into the ocean. Miss

FAMOUS PEARL1Na GROUNDS.
Fishery on Arabian Seacoast-Collec
tions Of Indian Princes.

From the Westminster Gazette. >.
Prince Ranjitsinhji (the jam of jam
nagar) has lately leased his pearl nsh-
cry off the port of Salaya, on the Ara
bian seacoast. to a European concession
aire. This fishery, the only one in
kathlawar. was never properly devef-
oped before. neither by the old JAM
Sahib nor by the last ruling chief Of
Jamnagar. 1t is. as a matter of fact.
a most valuable adjunct to the state.
Most of the divers are natives, and
they are particularly expert, being lit
orally like armorclad fishes in the sea.
Madras. too, has its pearl fisheries, but
they do not amount to q great deal.
while the well known and famous Cey-
Ion pearling grounds are to some eS-
tent exhausted. -

of pearls and diamonds of his nighness.

The Nawab of Ramuo, In Central I'M
dia Is Mahometan chieftain who
owns such magnificent pearls that In
a few years he has expended sum of
about a million and a half sterling in
their ACQUISITION. This now represents
a far larger sum than 81 800. 000 owing
to the circumstance that Indian pearls
have gone up In price by leaps and
bounds. The Jamnagar collection IRAN

enough. it is more renowned for Its
emeraIds than it's pearls. The premier
ruling chief of India, the Nizam of Hy-
derabad has many precious stones IN

has also the enormous diamond known
locally as the NiZam. Il.
