Hawk Took the Bait

On Yellow mountain in New Hartford John Henderson and his dog saw large coon in rocky ledge. The coon was too wise to be captured by the dog, so MT. Henderson set a trap baited with fish heads.

COURT UPHOLDS
 FORMER DECISION
AGAINST GRIFFITH AND HUGHES
United States Circuit Court of Appeals Sustains the Decision of the Lower Court-The Company's Offers of Settlement Were Refused.

John Griffith. of Ashley Falls, and Patrick Hughes, of Sheffield, have met with another reverse in their efforts to have the Berkshire Power Company s dam near Canaan removed from the Housatonio river.
 The United States Circuit Court of Appeals has just rendered a decision in favor of the Power Company in the suits brought against it by the above named Griffith and Hughes. This court up- holds the decision of Judge Platt of the lower Court ill denying to the plain tiffs an injuction restraining the Power Company from maintaining their dam.
 It will be remembered that the Power Company made numerous efforts to set. tie with Griffith and Hughes for the damage which they claim has been done so their land by the raising of the water, the result of the erection of the dam, but they both demand sums which the Power Company deems excessive.

Farmers Should Meet and Talk Things
 Over.
 President Roosevelt in a letter to Prof. Bailey in relation to the Country Life Commission. which is to investi- gate farm conditions and undertake to determine why the country is not at- tractive enough to keep its leading young men on the farms, suggests that the farmers be asked to come together in the several school districts of the country and consider these matters Throughout his letter President Roose- welt says, Where I use the word farmers I mean also to include all those who live in the open country and are intimately connected with those who do the farm work, k,-ministers, school teachers, physicians, editors of country papers, in short, all men and women whose life work is done either on the farm or in connection with the life work of those who are on the farm. |" He suggests that the subjects to be dis cussed should include such topics as the efficiency ot the rural schools, the farmers organizations, the question of farm labor, the need of good roads, i'm proved postal facilities and sanitary con- ditions on the farm. His directions to the commission are in part as follows:
 "Your purpose is neither to investi- gate the farmer, nor to inquire into technical methods of farming. You are simply trying to ascertain what are the general economic, social, educational, and sanitary conditions of the open country, and what, if anything. the farmsrs themselves can do to help them selves, and how the government can help them. To this end your special de- sire is to get in touch with and represent the farmers themselves.

The young ladies are much encouraged US all the dances of late have failed to meet expenses and their luck is credited entirely to the 13 horseshoes used in decorations to offset the unlucky oombi- nation of Friday, the 18th.

Favors Tariff Reduction

Andrew Carnegie believes in reducing the tariff on certain articles. He takes the position that infant industries" no longer need protection; that the steel and other industries have now grown beyond the need of tariff protection; that duties on luxuries used by the rich should be maintained, but that those on manufactured articles should be reduced greatly, or abolished entirely whom no longer needed.

resulted from the business Of the big

The warehouse space is growing cramp-

enlarged and deepened there is prob
ability that the 0. r. & L. Co. will
have to extend its docks along its prop,

is room for a very large wharf and

greatly relieve the congested state of

Chief Taylor then stepped forward

for the past eighteen months it would
not be any pleasanter. His relations
with the men had hnen cordial and
while there may not have been perfect

the differences were not greater than
would occur between business men. He
thanked the men for their evidence

promptness in the execution of his or

then shook hands cordially with the
Sheriff remarking at the same time that
he regretted leaving hut that he could
not express the regret he felt at part

The Sheriff asked if there were any

The final test of the lights installed
for illumination purposes along the
streets was had last night and every
thing was found in order. The strings
of incandescent lights on each side of
the principal streets leading to the
waterfront and through the business
portions of town add greatly to the
holiday aspect of the streets. With
the lights on the Young Hotel and
Capitol and the street lights all ablaze,
most beautiful effect viii be had.

evening enjoying the lighting, and the
town took on quite a metropolitan
aspect during the illumination.
