A Passenger Describes Birdseye View
 of this Locality
 Several early risers last Thursday morning reported that they saw a large balloon, high above the earth. pass over this vicinity just after daylight. It was sailing swiftly in southeasterly direo- tion.
 It was the balloon North Adams, No. l, with A. Holland Forbes and Clifford E. Harmon, of New York, aboard, and started from North Adams, Mass, at 2:27 that morning. It passed over Win sted at 5:30 o'clock and landed in Water barry at TAO o'clock.
 MT. Harmon In speaking of the trip declared that in the future he would de- vote himself to balloon sailing at night ''It would be impossible" he said. ito describe the glories of the sunrise this morning as seen from height of 7,200 feet Passing over Litchfield County we were able to count 7S separate lakes and ponds gleaming in the semi-light like so IL any pools of molten silver. The l light began to break at five o'clock. The beauty of color as the rays of the sun came over the low hills was simply in- describable. I have seen the sun rise in many countries, ill the Alps, the Hima- layas and the Rockies but never have l seen anything so perfect in beauty as the sun rising over the Connecticut hills
 During most of the trip we main tained speed of about 20 miles an hour this decreasing to 12 miles during the latter part of the trip. The trip was made diagonally over the Berkshires and down through Litchfield County"
 MT. Forbes has made many ascension both in th1s country and abroad, some. times travelling hundreds of miles on one trip. At present, with MT. Harmon, he is planning to enter big balloon named the New York in the contest which will start from Indianapolis on June 5. Mir. Forbes is at present acting president of the Aero Club of America. In planning for this great race Mir. Forbes is taking these short night trips. The trip to be undertaken in June is the longest and most important he has yet planned. It is hoped that the landing will be made in Labrador or the Canadian Northeast and hunting supplies will be taken with this end in view. During his career as an aeronaut MT. Forbes has ascsnded as as high as 29,0O0 feet, this ascension talk ing place in the Berkshlres some seasons ago.

and later to Salt Point. He attended the public schools in both places. When IA years old h9 took a mans work on his shoulders by hiring out to assist in a butcher business conducted in Salt Point. He continued there for five years and then came to Canaan at the age of 19.
 For the first three months that he was resident of Canaan MT. Badgley was employed by J.H. Lansing in his market At the end of that time MT. Lansing de- cided to give up the business and it was taken over by MT. Badgley. For some time the latter conducted the market in the store conducted at present by O. T. Vosburg. He later purchased the pro- perty on Daisy Hill including a house and barn. The latter he has fitted up as a model butcher shop, including a cold storage plant, and he now carries on his business there.
 MT. Badgley has considerable meohani- cal ingenuity and has put it to good ser vice. In his shop he has installed a power shaft which connects, among other things, with beef slicer. sausage cutter, bone grinder. grindstone and washing machine. It is run by electric power and has proven a great labor saver.
 At present he keeps two wagons busy on the road and covers the territory in and around Sheffield, Ashley Falls, East Canaan and Clayton. He makes it a point to handle only the finest grade of western beef and the best domestic pork, lamb, veal, fowls and other meats. He has built up reputation for himself and large business.
 MT. BadgleY was married in 1904 at Stoneham, Mass, to Miss Edna Roberts of that place. They have one son, Perry, who is now three years old. MT. Badgley IS member of the Methodist Church The wish of his many friends here is that he may continue to enjoy success and business prosperity for many years yet to come.

TRIBUTE TO RICHMOND P. PAINE
His Work as Conductor of the Choral
 Union Highly Praised


 . The first of @ series of articles on "A Country Musical Festival-A Study of Community Work in Music as Exem- plified in the Litchfield County Choral Union," was published in "The Musician for May. It was contributed by Arthur B. Wilson, and deals in an interesting manner with the Litchfield Musical Association, it's history, the music shed, the conductor, and the several concerts. MT. Wilson pays a high tribute to the work that MT. Paine has done, and says in part:
 "The county choral society has only one kind of capital stock, Despite preachments of conscience or duty. the activities of people are gov erned almost solely by their interests. The psychology is mercilessly logical in this instance. Mary a promising society of capable singers nnder the direction, it may be. of 8 man who is even better informed upon musical topics that the average conductor, has watched the mercury of it's destinity fall from the boiling point, though the successive degrees of a waning ardor, incipient tepidity, and finally drop to the cold level of another frozen project. But, on the contrary, to see one rural district after another, most of them with no particular predispos1tion towards choral practice nor tradition in its use, fall into line, and. under the ministrations of one man, come up to such form in the second year, and in two instances in the first. that master work could be success fully undertaken, is clear indication that the conductor is master of organization.
 "Mr. Paine's work has been unique, necessarily so, because the whole Stoeckel choral scheme is unique, but it has exemplified his qualifications for 8 labor of the magnitude of those years. A man of excessively nervous organism, of quick sympathies, of infinite patience, indefatigable and tireless, absorbed and actuated by noble ideals, tactful, authori- tative, and wlthal possessing abundant temperament and sound musicianship MT. Paine has proved himself, in the choral field, that rarest combination ~o1 divergent abilities in music,-a great conductor"

Looking Out For The Stove

Stoves of any kind, whether the large kitchen range, oil. or gas-heater, or the tiny alcohol affair used to heat curling iron or the baby's bottle, should have under them noncombustible trays of some sort and should be so placed that their heat cannot set fire to anything above or around them. Stoves with open flames, such as gas, gasolene, or alcohol, should be carefully kept out of the way of flying draperles. The woman who works about an open-f flame stove or lights the gas or a lamp when she is wearing loose. flowing sleeves is as fool ish as the man who smokes ill a fluffy cotton bath robe.

Rural Letter Carriers

Rural letter carries will come in for a little extra compensation if a bill in- troduced in Congress becomes law It provides that $256 per annum addi- tional be allowed for the purchase and maintenance of necessary horses, wagons and equipement. In the average country districts this small allowance will be none too much for the wear and tear upon carriers outfit as he travels over the rough roads and in all kinds of weather, is very great, and at the present meagre salary he is lucky if he comes out at the end of the year with his head above water, as it were. The rural delivery of mail has come to be very popular with the country people and it has come to stay. The carrier should have an additional compensation, at least living one.

great tragedy of 1876. 49," - Ii
Many and valuable pictures are us
ed, to illustrate the book. There Isl g.
splendid view of old Fort Lincoln as
it was in 1875, taken from the north
and showing the extent and nature OF
the buildings. The last trace OF the
old Fort has disappeared. and rail-:
road, graders are building a line for
the Northern Pacific across that his
toric bench of the river. Early day
steamboat pictures are numerous,
and maps and prints long lost to view
but now brought to light help make
this an interesting and valuable vol
ume. - .--."
The volume is full of incidents of
steamboat life on the; Missouri of a
personal character, growing with
Captain Marsh's acquaintance with
the men then celebrated in the con-
quest of the northwest-Miles, Gus
ter, Sitting Bull, Gall, Rain in the
Face, and a host of frontier figures.
The last chapters of the book are
devoted to the later progress OF the
upper Missouri river country, the
building of the Washburn railroad,
the development of the fertile acres
along the banks of the river, and the
commercial era of steamboating, fol-
lowing the military period. The book
should be an especially fascinating
one to any of the old timers along
the river, and will have it's full share
of interest for those who want to
know what made the conquest of the
northwest possible.

Former Home in Iowa.
Wilton, Nov. 6.-An accident of
which no one knows the details, was
the cause of the death of Miss Marie
Srndberg, near Ong, thirty miles east
of here last Tuesday morning.
On that morning Miss Sundberg
left the home of her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. P. P. Sundburg, driving a
two horse wagon, being bound for
Pelican store for supply of gro
ceries for herself, her parents and
the neighbors. In the evening she
was found three-quarters of mile
from her starting point with the
wagon upset and its entire weight
resting on her stomach, having been
in that condition for nearly twelve
hours when found by neighbor,
one Ed Barless.
The cause of the accident is all
supposition, but those visiting the
scene and viewing the wreck believe
that while going down slight in
cline some part Of the harness was
broken and when the wagon struck
the ditch or gully at the foot Of the
hill the pole dropped and it is be-
lieved the wagon was running with
enough force to tip it completely
over and end for end. Miss Sund-
burg was under the front end of the
wagon, and it is thought that death
was instantaneous.
The deceased was % years of age,
bright and intelligent lady, and
has homesteaded since last spring in
township 1875. Previous to that
she had taught for several years at

bitter cause to regret its present lack
of hospitality to the dead.

Attention is called to the fact by a
prominent citizen of the city that
in the grading of streets and reduc-
ing of grades along the cutters some
of the main water pipes have been
left with a covering of earth insult
ficient to protect them from freez-
ing in cold weather. This is a mat
ter Of vital interest, both from the
standpoint of users of water, but in
the matter of protection against fire.
Those officials of the city who have
charge of this matter should see to
1t that the mains are protected, and
that there may be no danger or
freezing. The matter is one too I'M
portant to be any further delay
However,, in this warning, the Trib-
une does not wish to be classed in
the category of those who are COM
planning of the establishment of per-
manent grades for the sidewalks and
streets in this city. If it is necessary
to change the grades as established
at the time the water mains were
laid-and it probably is-then the
kick should not be registered against
the change but provision should be
made to protect the water users, II
there is danger of freezing Of mains,
until the mains can be lowered. 1t
is estimated that about fifteen hum
dred feet of water mains will have to
be lowered to conform to the grades
as established by the city engineer,
and properly established looking to
the future best interests of the city.
The lowering of these mains Will not
incur such a great expense as to en-
barass the city and there ought to be
no quibbling about it.

The living hero =, Of this historic
sketch is Captain Grant Marsh, who
brought the news of Clusters de-
struction to the outer world by his
steamer the Far West, >" which play
ed so important a part in the Little
Big Horn campaign. ::
Captain Marsh: first shipped on a
Missouri packet in 1854, and still
plies on the river. From the earliest
Western migrations, through the
Montana gold rushes, and the Sioux
wars, he was in the forefront OF the
white advance over the Missourfs
wild territory. The services he rem
dered to the United States govern
ment in its various campaigns were
notable, and with his other exploits
have enabled his biographer to write
a book that combines the authority,
accuracy and fullness of a history Of
Americas most important Internal
advance with the adventurous story
Of brave mans career on the old
time river packets.
1t may be said that this is the first
volume in print dealing with the his
tory of the upper Missouri river and
it's relation to steamboat navigation.
And it ought to be of especial inter-
est to old timers along the river, to
those who came after the pioneer
period and have enjoyed the fruits
of settlement and cultivation made
possible by the adventurous steam
boatmen of the early days, and to the
people of the entire country who will
learn how important a part the river
played In the conquest Of the north
west.
Captain Marsh began his career as
a steamboat cabin boy On the old
Dover at Pittsburg4 back in 1854. His
volume is full of interesting relations
OF that period, more than sixty years
ago. Thus it will be seen that Marsh
has spent more than sixty years as
a riverman, and should be qualified
well to tell the story of the conquest
of the Missouri. In 1852, fifty seven
years ago, Marsh shipped as deck
hand on the Beaver and went to st.
Louis, then the center for the steam
boat traffic of the country. There
was at that time not a foot Of rail-
way running out of st. Louis, but
some 5000 vessels touched there year.
ly, making ports north and south.
The story Of the old times at st.
Louis is interestingly told, and there
is a fascination in reading the inter-
esting chapter in the history of the
country. There is a chapter devoted
to a trip to Omaha in 1857. The town
was then small, and was an OUTFIT
ting place for gold seekers and those
who pioneered to the Pacific coast.
It was at this time that Marsh met
Mark Twain the river pilot, and there
are many. interesting stories of the
celebrated humorist. ~.
Captain Marsh came to the upper
river in 1854, at the time of the Sui
ly campaign and remained for a
score Of years. The story Of all the
northwestern Indian campaigns is in
extricably interviewer with the story
of the early days of river navigation,
and it is all entertainingly related.
Following the earlier campaigns is
the story of the Custer massacre, and
the bringing of the wounded down
the Missouri on the Far West. And
following that Is the story of sub
sequent campaigns, the surrender of

Underwood, Nov. 6.-Sunday after
noon as Thos. Brophy was taking his
daughter Mollie to her school in the
Darling neighborhood, where she is
teaching, he had a bad accident with
his auto which nearly cost both their
lives. When about nine miles north
east Of town and driving along the
road at pretty good clip, some Of
their wraps or robes got tangled up
in the gearing of the machine and
wound around some of the wheels.
This caused the auto to slew around
and turn almost over, throwing Mr..
Brophy on a stone pile that was near
the road, breaking one of his ribs.
and Miss Brophy was thrown to the
middle of the road, pretty badly
bruised and unable to get to her feet.
Mr.. Brophy, although conscious of
what had happened, was unable to
speak, lay where he was thrown, with
gasoline porting over him and satu-
rating his clothing, expected an ex-,
plosion at any time, but the machine
got too much, or too little gasoline,
and came to a stop. Il
