 We will pose in the rule of prophet just long enough to say that if outside players are brought in to this league, 1909 will witness the finish of an organization which is now so auspiciously started and possibly this seasons schedule will not be finished. This section of the country cannot support professional base ball played by salaried teams. It can and will literally patronize games played by strictly amateur organizations. Jon. ditions are such that there can be no middle ground. The league, to succeed, must be a amateur organization and must remain so. We trust that the shadow of disaster is not hanging over the league and that the rumors and newspaper reports are groundless.

AWAk

This is my final opportunity@o appeal to the citizens of Canaan to awaken to the necessity of procuring adequate fire protection. Why you have not realized the risks you are taking and why you are so indifferent to the dangers that beset you from this destroying element is something cannot understand. You are usually alert and progressive ill other matters, indeed your unusual loyalty and public spirit have made Canaan the centre of activity in the northwestern portion of L1tchfield county.
 Canaan cannot afford to have her pro- gress retarded by a disastrous conf1a- grafton but she is tempting fate in per mltting present conditions to exist. By way of protection from fire you pile on the insurance at the exhorbltant rate, advancing the argument that hose and hydrants will cost too much money, that they cannot be afforded in addition to the various other town and fire district expenses. We agree with you that it will cost money. And it will be worth it, but how much more would your taxes be than the outrageous insurance pre- miums you are now paying because the village has no fire company. no water mains in some streets and but little hose and other fire fighting apparatus?
 In order to obtain reliable information on the matter of probable reduction of premiums should the village provide fire protection, we appealed to the insurance firm of N A. McNeil 6 Go. of Lime Rock and their answer is as follows: "Mr. H. M. Doty,
 Conn. Western News,
 Canaan, Conn. Dear Sir
 Replying to your inquiry as to what the probable saving in the matter of fire insurance would be to the property owners of Canaan ill the event of such action as should class it as protected" village, we beg to say that we would hardly feel justified, and of course un- warranted, III naming any fixed amount of reduction in rates due to such i'm proved conditions, but our observation at other points has demonstrated about the following concessions of properties located within 500 feet of a public hydrant, viz:
 On dwellings and their contents about 2526.
 On churches, school houses and public buildings about 10%.
 On mercantile and other business buildings. hotels, etc. about 2590.
 On mercantile stocks about 2O%.
 In connection with such reduc ion and in order to obtain the same, 1t is necessary on all above classes of risks, except dwellings and contents, to attach to the policies the 809s reinsurance or reduced rate clause-so called-or, ln other words, insurance equivalent to 80% of the value is essential"
 We believe that the buildings in Ca naan are already insured for 80% of their value, consequently this require ment is already met.
 As THE NEWS has sald before. dis astrous fire would arouse plenty of en- thusiasm for fire protection.
 Norfolk, Lakeville, Sharon, Millerton, Sheffield, New Milford, Great Barring ton realized the value and necessity of such fire protection and each contains organize and well equipped fire com panies. The people of these places be- lieve ill being forearmed.

TO THE BALL TOSSERS
 You are about to enter upon the second season of the Housatonic Valley Base Ball League. Make it hummer. Re- tain it strictly amateur organization as you value it's life. It's 8 goue goose if you don't. And, of course I hope that Canaan will wallop the other tear.s as fast as they present themselves and do a good job at it, too. Just cant help feel ing that way of course. I'm going to subscribe for THE NEWS (as all you ball players ought to) in order that I may keep posted on matters base ballistic and if this seoson isn't the best yet, it will be great disappointment to me for the reason that THE NEWS claims to have brought about the organization of the league.

TO THE BOOSTER CLUB

Don't permit your interest to lag or your activities to wane. Against retro gression, last year, you made "a bully fight q got that from J. H. R.) and you won out. With new walks, new buildings, fresh paint,y your rakes, s,shovels and axes you did much to beautify Ca naan. But more of the same sort of inn provement is needed, lots of it. And it always will be. I'm not going to forget Canaan; I expect to come back occasion ally and I hope to find you all busy and to find every Canaanite an active mem- Der of the club.
 TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRADE
 This organization has played an i'm portant part in obtaining for Canaan some of the privileges and conveniences it enjoys. Don't let it die. You have not accomplished much the past year but it is simply because you have not had the opportunity. Times are improv- ing and you will, later, have the chance to do considerable for the village and town. Don't give up the ghost.
 SUPPORT THE EDITOR
 The new editor will need your support He must have it in order to succeed Continue to him the same loyal brand you have given me and he cannot ask more. Be lenient with him until he "learns the ropes" No man can come into town where he is not acquainted and do his best work at the outset.

AUTO SHOWS LITTLE
RESPECT FOR CLOTH

The first days experience OF the
Rev. Father A. Rheinhart. pastor of
the Catholic church of the ST. Johns
neighborhood. as a chauffeur was
both fortunate and unfortunate. For
tunate because he escaped injury
when his new automobile was
wrecked. and unfortunate because il
had to be hauled to the machine shop
for repairs. The Rev. Father Rhein-
hart was in Paducah yesterday and
was so impressed with automobiles
that he purchased the machine Of Mr..
George c. Wallace. The mechanism
of the automobile was explained to
him and after some lessons in driy-
ing the car he started home. All was
well until he reached Vinegar hill.
when the steering wheel became out
of order and the car dashed into a
deep gulley. The machine was so
badly wrecked that 1t was hauled to
Foreman Brothers garage for re-
pairs.

kUTTAwA IN QUARANTINE
BECAUSE OF SMALLPOX.

Because OF an epidemic of smallpox
at Kuttawa, quarantine has been
established by Eddyville yesterday
afternoon. Reports from Kattawa say
there are SO cases OF the disease in
the town, and some of the most
prominent people have it in their
homes. The board of health is CO.
operating with the physicians. and it
is believed that the epidemic will be
checked without further spread. The
disease Is OF mild form. The origin
of the epidemic has been traced to a
small girl who attended a party and
al of those in attendance were
stricken.
No danger is felt in Paducah, as
during the quarantine against Cairo
thorough vaccinating tour was made
over the city.
