new the boundaries or see that the old ones are in good shape" His direct definition of the word is 3to walk through or over."
 Hence some persons are finding fault with the Selectmen for hiring a sur veyor to make a survey of the whole line instead of only those portions of it where the absence or uncertainty of the former landmarks made such work necessary. The board took the action they did, however, largely because they wished to have the boundary mapped, and they engaged D. c. Sanford to do the entire work because his per diem terms were much lower than those of the only other applicant for the job. His experience and competency also influenced them in selecting him and they estimated that the expense would not be large as the other towns in in- terest would pay one-half. It hap pens, however, that the section on which MT. Sanford and his two helpers have been working for nearly two months was not only gone over in re- cent years by surveyor but also mapped This is the part of the line bordering on Bethel, Radgefield and Danbury. The marks are cut stone slabs and all are said to be in place. MT Sanford had said he would make from one to three miles a. day. He actually averaged not a quarter of a mile. When the bills came in, there fore. the Selectmen became indignant and called a. halt. One member is in favor of entirely dropping the engage ment and accepting as a loss the bills already incurred.

WOULD LIKE TO
 SELL MORE WOOD
And Thereby Give Work to. Many Men
 Now Unemployed.

Although in comparison with twelve months ago, industrial conditions have changed wonderfully, there are still men in the city who cannot find work in the factories, and upon whom fam flies are dependent. For such men the Wood Yard opened a year ago by the Special Relief Committee under the supervision of F. L. Bradbury, is af- fording much practical aid. Men are gvien the opportunity to work and work hard and are paid for this work.
 More demands for work are made upon the manager, F. s. Harrington, than the present output of wood can supply. The number of men employed is governed by the sales of the wood and the cooperation of the people of Bridgeport is asked in the endeavor to give men good honest work. This can best be extended in the matter of sales More wood sold means more men em- ployed. The wood is of the same quality and quantity as that sold by other yards, is sold for the same price, may be ordered by telephone and will be delivered.

 New York. March u-National Guard circles are to-day stirred as they have never been stirred before as the result of what the EAnks and file charge is the practical forcing out of the organization of Col. Edward Duff fey of the Sixty-ninth. the best known Irish regiment in the country by a clique of rich men who have secured commissions and are anxious to get high rank in the state militia Col Dufrey has sent a request to Gov. Hughes that he be retired and as he has been in the regiment since 1867 there is every prospect that his re- quest will be granted and he will be retired as major general by Brevet. he now enjoying the rank of hrigadier because of Hong and meritorious ser vice.
 It is however the story behind the retirement of Col. Duffey that has stirred the Guard and promises to re- suit in a scandal that may have seri- ous effects not alone on the National Guard of New York but also in every state where rich men are declared. to be crowdinE out poor men in the com missioned ranks of the Guard.

Miss Kolb testified that she first

she met the doctor at the police sta
tion and that he said 10 her:

that he did not want to lose her, as she
had money, and did YOU not say to him
them Why don YOU ch1oroform her2'

Interest Bearing Warrants

Los ANGELES. Nov. 13.-To finish
reclamation projects rapidly, which
the insufficient funds of the govern
ment will not now permit, interest
bearing warrants or certificates will
be recommended TO the next congress
by the senate irrigation committee,
which passed through Los Angeles
early today.
Senator Thomas III. Carter OF Mon
tana, chairman OF the committee, ex-
planned that the accretiOns to the rec
lamation funds are inadequate to make
rapid progress, and that some system
of credit must be arranged TO finance
many of them and hasten their COM
pletion. The committee viii recon-
mend the issuance of interest bearing
warrants or certificates against the
reclamation fund. which will allow OF
rapid work. and win permit immediate
benefit to the occupants of the lands,
also permitting them to begin cultiva-
ton anticipating their payments to
the reclamation funds.
