the pictures of those who paid for that prominence. The books, or sou venirs were retailed to members and others, at $2.50 each, which with the extra price charged for portrait cuts, made snug profit for the publishers, and the members of the legislative body paid the bill from their private purses.
 Of course. the Taylor Souvenir is a more expensive publication than was the Hartford Post Annual. but no member should halt at the payment of s5 for the book and extra for having his picture printed therein, and they should guarantee MT. Taylor a fair price for his excellent work, but should not vote the peoples money for their personal aggrandisement
 New London representatives would cheerfully pay their proportion of the cost and profit of the souvenir, but would be cautious about spending the states money for such Q purpose. There are other high minded legisla- tors who are probably of like mind, who would assist MT. Taylor in being repaid for his really deserving work.
 The police signal system, the in- vention of New Londoner, has been in trouble" almost since it's installa- ton, and now it is absolutely useless and, in the minds of some, is beyond repair. In consequence the efficiency 1 of the police department is impaired, as the officers while on their beats can not be called from the station by the system, nor can the officers call for instructions or assistance from the station, or even signal in at regular intervals that they are attending to duty. They leave the station to go on duty and return at the specified time, and that's all the knowledge the officer at the desk has of their movements. Without the signal system the police department becomes a sort of free and easy, go as you please institution. which is not creditable to city of New London's importance.
 There is an appropriation of $500 available for repairing the police sig nal system. but the committee is of opinion that money spent in repairs of the present system is money vast ed.
 An expert has been sent for and In- vestigation of the present system will be made to decide it's future. and es- inmates will be given for the induction of an up to date system. When the committee has a tangible basis for new system, it is expected that special appropriation will be recommended at the earliest possible time. A police de- partment without a signal system is about as useful as a lot of country constables lined up on cracker barrels in a corner variety store.

There have been fire sales. real and fake, no fire sales, closing out sales, and almost every kind of sale. but genuine bankrupt sale was averted by friend coming to the rescue of one of the shoe dealers in that sec tion of Bank street known as the Bow cry. The sheriff was about to take possession when friend who keeps a shop across the way was appealed to and he furnished the cash to sat isfy the sheriff's claim. Then the stock was given to the money lender under very peculiar conditions. It was arranged that half the amount of the sales would be applied daily to- wards the payment of the debt, but the shoe dealer insisted on being sales man in order to maintain credit.
 As both men are of that class who seem to believe that it takes a pretty smart man to beat a-smart man, the money lender hit upon d novel plan to secure his loan and at the same time not lessen the credit of the man he be- friended. So it was decided that all the right shoes should remain in the store and the left shoes taken to the shop of the man across the way, thus enabling the money lender to keep tab on all sales and collect his due accordingly.
 When customers go to the store the shoe for the right foot Is shown. and when customers are suited in fit style and price. off goes the dealer to the shop across the way for the shoe that completes the pair. At night the sales of the day are figured up and. of course, must of necessity agree, and division of cash follows without ques- tion.
 The other night a fellow who was on to the game went into the store, and when the right-foot shoe was pre- scented for try-on, complained of a sore right foot and called for the left shoe. After a little delay the shoe was furnished, but no sale was effect ed. As soon as the supposed customer left the store the dealer scooted to the store across the way and returned the shoe to escape being charged with a sale. They do do some queer things in New London.

PIONEER PASSES AWAY.
Jol Damitio Departs This Life
Saturday Morning After
Useful Life.

John Damitio departed this life at
4:37 Saturday morning. at his late
home, SIG East Market street, aged
"A years and 25 days. The funeral
took place this morning, mass being
celebrated in St. Agedius Catholic
church.
John Damitio was born in Detroit,
Mich, March 3, 1880, where he resided
until the fall of 1887, when he removed
with his family to Chehalis county.
On July 3, 1850, John Damitio was
morried to Miss Mary Fisher, in De-
troit Mich, who, with eight sons, sur
wives him. One of the sons, Chris.
Damitio, preceded his father to this
country, and. purchased two farms,
on the south bank of the Chehalis
river, near Elma, for his father in
1887, the family coming later.
Mr.. Damitio was brother of An
thony Damitio, the we'll known pi-
oneer of Aberdeen, and was a man of
progressive ideas. Although of rather
a reticent disposition, he had host
of friends, who were endeared to him
by his quality OF sterlir g int rity,
who join his family in expression of
sad regret at his departure.
Mr.. and Mrs. Damitio sold the
Elma farms and moved to Aberdeen
about seven years ago, and nearly
three years since, Mrs Damitio was
stricken with paralysis, from which
she has not recovered. The illness of
his long time helpmeet worried Mr..
Damitio more than he would be will
ing to express, and was doubtless
the complaint that ended in his death.

RAILROADS ON PENINSULA
Milwaukee and Hartman Lines Ap.

tween Grays Harbor

OLYMPIA, March 7.-According
to applications for rights-of-way ov-
err state lands filed in the office of
Commissioner E. w. Ross, the Mil
waukee and Hartman lines are
working in about the same territory
in the Olympic peninsula.
The Grays Harbor & Puget Sound

it's right-of-way from the harbor
nearly to the strait, for it's latest APP

fee is for rights-of-way over parts
of sections 5, s, II, 81, 2S and SO,
in township 25 north, range 10
west. The Chicago, Milwaukee &

for rights-of-way in section and

LUMBER WASTE,

In an article in the April McClure's
entitled "a Continent Despoiled,'
Rudolph Cronau tells of the enormous
waste of lumber. He says:
CDR. Bristol, chief of the Section
of Wood Chemistry, states that fifty
per cent. or more of the average tree
. as it stands in the forest is wasted be.
fore reaching the market in the form
of lumber. He says. further, that
the timber cut has increased from
eighteen billion board feet in 1880 to
fifty billion board feet in 1905, and
and that our present consumption OF
wood in all forms is equivalent to at
least one hundred billion feet annual
ly. and possibly much more.
Further, it may be new to you that
white pine, in former years the great
est of all our lumber trees and the
only wood dignified with the name
- pine has, under the heavy drain
, upon it, so fallen off, that its DONNA
ton of the lumber market has prac-
tically ceased. In from ten to fifteen
years the supply Of other woods, for
instance, the yellow pine and the
Douglas fir, will be just as limited as
that of white pine now. Rapidly de-
creasing also is our supply of hard
woods, the prices of which go up
higher and higher. White oak went
up from s4s in 1890, to Ss5 in 1907;
hick DRY from $3S to S65, and yellow
poplar from 500 to S53 Expert for
esters proclaim that we are, without
having made any provisions against
it, dangerously near hardwood fam
inc, which will strike at the very
foundation of some of the country's
most imporsant industries.
"Since 1879, forest fires have each
year destroyed an average of fifty
lives and fifty million dollars worth
of timber. Not less than fifty million
acres of forest is burned over yearly"

No bids have been received for
placing the water main across the
Chehalis river, in answer to the
third call for the same. The reason
is obvious. The call specified the
maximum price, and contractors are
not willing to undertake the job at
the figure fixed by the commissioner
of public works. Mr.. McDougall is
perfectly confident that $4,000 ought
to do this work, but contractors diff
fer with him. If the city council
persists in laying this main-the
cost of which is at least questionable
1T should insist on having a de-
finite contract before a dollar is eX-
pended. Either the maximum figure
should be abandoned in calling for
bids, or Supt. McDougall should be
given an opportunity to prove the
correctness of his estimate by taking
the contract.

Word was received yesterday OF the
death Gov. S. G.. Cosgrove, at PaSo

Elsewhere in this paper will be
found the complete text of the local
option law passed at the recent ses-
sion of the legislature. The Herald
deemed the subject of sufficient i'm
space to it's production, in the belief
that law so different from the
present laws, and that requires
numerous provisions to render it eff
fective in localities, should be
thoroughly understood. The bill con-
tanned no emergency clause and
therefore will become a law next
June, ninety days after the signature
of the governor.

Evidence of the rapidity with which
open-hearth steel is displacing Besse-
mer steel is given in the annual report
of the operation of the steel corpora
ton. AS compared with 1907 the pro-
duction of Bessemer steel in 1908 de-
clined three and half million tons,
while the production of open-hearth
steel fell off only couple of millions.
Last year the production of open
hearth nearly equalled the production
of Bessemer.

A committee appointed by Presi-
dent w. j. Patterson, of the Cham
Der of Commerce, and the local archi-
tects met Saturday evening at the
office of the city superintendent,
when the various plans for the new
high school building were looked
over. The fact that Seattle plans
were adopted without giving the To-
cal men a chance has occasioned
much criticism, and the school board
requested President Patterson to ap-
point this committee, from whom a
report will be had later.

Rejected Wright Aeroplane.

LONDON. February .5.-Thc Daily
News prints story which IL says is
current in the Aldershot district To the
effect that the Wright brothers offered
their aeroplane to the war office before
they began their public trials
They undertook To demonstrate its ft-
ness for military work. They were asked
to fly to a specified point where there
was a small detached camp, reconnoiter
and return and report the number and
disposition of the troops.
This was refused on the ground that
they lacked the necessary technical mill
tary knowledge. and the war Office lost tts
chance of buying the aeroplane.
