WRESTLING SHOULD
 BE STOPPED
NIGHT TRAINS MAKE MUCH NOISE
Niaht Freights Which Switch in Local Yards Are a Great Annoyance to Town Residents-CIaim WhistIing is UnnesCessarY.

For some time the residents of the viii lage of Canaan have been greatly an moved in the late hours of the evening by the freight trains, which do switch ing here in the local yard. It has been the experience of several that have lived here for the past few years, that, after one freight train had pulled out of the local yard they had just gotten to sleep when they were awakened by another freight coming into the yard, which would probably keep them awake until another train pulled in. It Is well known fact that it is not by any means pleasant to be awakened out of 8 sound sleep, but this does not, however, seem to be recognized by those who are em- ployed in operating the freight trans This is plainly exposed by the yelling of the breakmen instead of using their lantern signals. It also seems to be the delight of the engineer or fireman to get the engine at or near the Hotel Garfield. before they blow the whistle, which is understood to be a signal that the train is to leave.
 Of course the switching has to be done but the Canaan residents believe it could be done with much less noise; but two things that could be stopped, and which are principal annOyances are the yelling of the brakeman and whistling of the engine. It is probably necessary that Il |, h,t not this be done below the station where it would not be so close to the center ot the village. Furthermore, it is thought that the occasional toot of the whistle Is not called for, and ill respect to the resi- dents of Canaan it seems as if the rail road officials should put a stop to all noise which is unnecessary.
 There was a short time ago a case sim liar to this one, in Great Harrington. Mass, where the switchyard is in the center of the village and where there was a great deal of switching done i'll the night. Great Harrington is 0 popu- lar summer resort and because the sum: mer residents and townspeople were greatly annoyed at night by the freights petition was gotten up and as result arrangements were made whereby most of the night switching is being done i'll another locality which is two miles from Great Burlington center. It seems that something of this nature might be done to remedy the conditions here and if :, io hu hn io naanites that the matter will be taken under consideration at once by the rail road authorities.

That Ashley Falls Heifer

As result of the outcome of the Ashley Falls civil suit of Nellie Perkins vs. Robert Leo at Great Harrington a short time ago, Winsted's sensational correspondent became very sportive and scribed the following to the New York papers under the Winsted date lines Nellie Perkins mother gave her h spotted heifer to be her very own, and then Nellie Perkins brother sold that spotted heifer as in the court was shown For Nellie's mother went to law against Neighbor Robert Lee, whose right to hold that heifer Judge Sanford could not see. So Nellie gets the bossy back, and Lee must pay the cost, but what haH Nellie's foxy brother lost?"

MANY CAUSES OF BAD BUTTER

Directions, if Carefully Followed Will
 Make the Best Milk Product.
 The cause of poor butter on the farm may be traced either to single poor condition or perhaps several of them. By carefully carrying out the following conditions first class butter should be produced: The cream should be kept in as nearly sweet condition as possible un. til enough has been gathered for 8 urn ing. This should then be soured or rip ened. To keep the cream sweet, while gathering enough for a churning. keer the can containing it surrounded with cold water, or perhaps better, hang it ill the well. To ripen, place it where it will become somewhat warmer, at a temperature of 75 to 80 degrees. until it is sour enough, then cool down to tem- perature of 5 to 60 degrees, which is right for churning. Let it stand in this temperature for an hour or so before churning, if possible. This will cause the butter to come in a better condi- lon.-Weekly Gazette.

Cant matter of removing head

ance until Ogden people can be
heard? (Signed) A. R Haywood.
President Weber Club
The above is the telegram that was
sent to the headquarters of the Union
Pacific railroad this morning by
President A. r. Haywood OF the We
Der club, on account of the persistent
rumors that the headquarters of the
Utah division of the Union Pacific is
to be removed from Ogden TO Green
River
While nothing definite has been an
nounced. President Haywood believes
In the ounce of prevention, and he Is
acting right now and at the right
man. The present time is deemed
tho best for action, and all the in
0uence Of the business men and mer-
chants OF the Weber club and Ogden
will be used TO retain the headQuar-
ters at Ogden, which is the natural
headquarters. being at the western
terminal OF the Union Pacific system
and the end of the Utah division.
The fact that the general Offices OF
the Southern Pacifc's Salt Lake d.
vision are in Ogden, is an argument
in favor of the Union Pacific officials
being In position TO confer on mat
ters OF transcontinental nature.
The rumor concerning the removal
OF the headquarters from ogden. Il Is
stated. started on the 9Th of this
month when Major Hine OF the Chi
cago Office was in ogden inaugurating
the unit system on the Salt Lake di-
vision OF the Southern Pacific When
asked where the numerous Offices of
the new assistant superintendents OF
the division would be, he said that
room would be found in the Union
depot building, and the Union Pacific
Offices could be moved from Ogden to
Green River into the new depot
building being erected there 1t is
further stated that the only reason
advanced for the removal of the head
quarters was that there was ample
accommodations In the new Green
River depot
The local officials, including Super
intendent Joffers, will not discuss the
subject neither affirming nor denying
the rumors.
