Chapman, March 1.-THE Chap
man Commercial club met irregular
session and showed again its progress
slveness.
After going through the regular
routine Of business, the good roads
committee made its report on the
south road leading into town. After
q lengthy discussion It was decided
to spend $3.50 on this three-quarters
Of a mile. Since the recent floods
this piece Of road has been in bad
condition but as the club intends put
ting in crushed rockbed, It VIII
make 1t one Of the best pieces OF
road in this part Of the country. The
committee also was given sufficient
rock from e. +. Dalton, who donated
1000 loads, P. F. Whitehair, 1000
loads, James 10y. Thos. Mccormack
and Dan Howe also offered to donate
all the rock that is needed. The
roads committee: Chas. Loudon, D.
r. Bowling, H. e. Brachbill, T. j.
Foley and j. A. White were given
authority BY the Commercial Club
to take charge Of the work which
will be started as soon as the wealth
or will permit.
1t is desired to grade the road bed
up as high as the quantity Of dirt
along the sides will permit. Then
the crushed rock will be laid to the
depth Of 9 inches in the center, to
about 5 inches on either side. The
width of the macadamized part Of
the road will be about 20 feet. When
the work is finished we will have q
road which flood, such as we ex-
perienced q year ago will not affect
in the least and the farmers will be
able to drive with a loaded wagon, Of
the roadbed will be as solid as Q
paved street.
This is the beginning Of good road
enthusiasm which will not subsidt
until all the roads leading to the city
are in best possible condition. The
soliciting committee are to be rec
commended upon the thorough man
| her in which they canvassed the vicin
| ity of Chapman. The farmers also
deserve the thinks Of the commercial
club for their liberality in the do
nations.

er to visit him. Upon their arrival ne
introduces his daughter and extracts
from them a promise to care for the
girl VINO has seen nothing of life. i he
girl is fascinating and alluring and
without more than reasonable
amount Of the art of womankind finds
herself admired by the attractive young
men of the set she moves in.
The third act reveals a bridge whist
game where cards are marked by an
adventures to ruin and disgrace the
young orphan. The scene is splendid
ly conceived and skilfully handled
easily ranking with many of the best
acts in modern DIANA. And this stage
setting is "a magnificent one. The hu

and a more captivating little woman it
would be indeed difficult to locate. Her
elocution is almost perfect. her enun-

and her fiery sweep of intensity al the
end Of the scene making great effect
Austin Webb is splendid as Lord

MUCH BUILDING
Planned in City of New Haven This
Year

According to the opinions Of leading
architects and>contractors, 1909 prom
ises to be a banner year in the devel-
opment of real estate in New Haven,
unless something unforeseen should
occur to check plans actually in the
works.
The very steady growth in construc-
ton in New Haven during 1908 as
shown by the annual report of Build
ing Inspector Austin, will continue, it
is believed, in so far as the erection
of new residences and tenement houses
are concerned and there are also now
being planned a number of very large
contracts in the business center Of the
city.
Among these may be mentioned the
alterations to be made to the New
Haven Steam Heating cOmpanys old
plant. purchased not long ago by John
Mcfarland. 1t is intended to rip out
the old building and fit it up with a
