WHAT MELLEN HAS
 DONE IN SEVEN YEARS
Record of Remarkable Achievement in Expansion of Railroad and En-
 hanc ement of Resources.

Referring, on the seventh anniversary of the day President Mellen came to the Presidency of the consolidated Railroad, the Boston News Bureau says:
 Seldom has lone man go briefly and so deeply impressed the financial, com mercial, political and even social life of a whole section of country.
 "This has come to pass, of course. be- cause he has meanwhile transformed the transportation of New England. Augustus boasted that he found Rome brick, and left 1t marble. We're Mellen addicted to self-vaunting, he might already say that he found New England rails rusting, and has made them glitter with use, develop ment and expansion.
 ''In 1903 the New Haven was steam railroad. pure and simple. Its invest ment $14, ,o0O, 900 and was stock of leased lines, not merged, which had been ex- changed for stock of it's own, and held i'll the treasury. Its income from seour. ities held was less than $500, 900, or slightly over per cent. of the net income
 To-day the New Haven is huge in- vesting as we'll as operating machine. It owns securities totaling $210,000,- 900, and it's annual income from this source is almost $4,500,000 Total net after taxes IS but four times this. Its total capitalization is now $376, ,0o0, ,000 compared with $141 100000 in 1903. Other steam railroads, street railways and steamship companies have been swallowed. and now yield important sources of it's revenue. sn "..- i
 "The New Haven of 1908 had total receipts of less than $50.000, 900. The New Haven of today has, if the earn iugs of all the subsidiary companies are added to those of the railroad, a gross of over $90, 1000, ,0o0.
 "The growth of the railroad as such has been no less remarkable. MT Mel len has wrought within as we'll as without. In the 1910 year S2, Quo. .0OO people and 22.OOO.OOO tons of freight were carried. compared with 68, ,000.- 000 and IS, 900, 900 in 1903.
 Rolling stock has been almost trebled, motive power has been increased practically 90 per cent. 'af

More Hunting Licenses than Ever

Town Clerk Norton has issued eighty seven hunters licenses thus far in the season, more than ever before. Sports men are not enthusiastic over the abundance of game to be found. how ever. They report generally a scarcity of the Hungarian partridges with which the woods and favorable breeding grounds were so plentifully stocked some time ago, and some shooters are inclined to believe the birds have migrated to a large extent Other knowing ones say the birds are all right and have not migrated, bat remain not far from their breeding ground. though they are addicted to long figi,ts. Nevertheless few of them are being bagged.

HUNG BY HER HEAD
Painful Experience of Three-Year-oId
 Winsted Girl.


 Winsted Girl.
 Ethel, the three-year-old daughter of Letter Carrier Pearl R. Simmons of Winsted had very narrow escape from death few days ago. She was playing about the residence of Officer John k. Dardis, next door to that of her father s when the soil under her feet gave way and she was precipitated into hole up to her neck. Her brother. Raymond, aged four, seeing her predicament, screamed to his father, who was in the garden in the rear of his house, for help MT Simmons came running to the scene and found his daughter hanging by her head, supported by the edge of decayed plank. The covering of an old cesspool had partially given away. Had the girl not been caught on the edge of the p ank she would have fallen into the old cess pool, which is believed to be 12 feet deep

There was an election in Canaan Tues. day, and if reports coming in from the outside world are to be relied upon, other communities experienced some thing of the same sort. --. ...e
 It was a fine day for almost anything else-preferably' butchering. The snow- flakes came down steadily, silently. "as ballots fall upon the sod, l" to quote from the poet. The day was raw and nasty - just such day as made fitting climax to the campaign itself. Some of the old-timers called it "good old. fashioned democratic weather" It was, too.

PERSONAL TAX LIST
ENROLLING OFFICER REED
 BUSY COUNTING NOSES
New Law Requires Every AbIe-bodied Man Between 21 and 60 Years Old to Pay Tax-Those Who Dodge Must Go to Jail and Work it Out.

Henry D. Reed, wno is making the enrolment list of persons in the town liable for payment of the personal tax. reports progress in the work, and expects to finish in another week or SO.
 This personal tax proposition is more pr less misunderstood, as to it's scope and provisions, many persons having the inn pression that it is in some way related to the military tax, which IS not the case. It is assessed under new law which this year. According to the interpreta- tion of the law, as set forth by Tax Com missioner Corbin, the responsibility of making list of those liable for the tax rests upon the selectmen, and may be done either by them personally or by some persons whom they may employ for the purpose.
 The enrolment is to be made of all male persons, whether aliens or voters, property owners or non-property owners, between the ages of 21 and 60, who re- side in the town on Nov. l and all such persons so enrolled are subject to a tax of S2 in lieu of the former, poll tax of s1 and the military communication tax of S9, unless entitled to exemption as provided by statute, and such as the selectmen abate in the cases of "indigent, sick and infirm persons. ..-. ..H rs. After the enrolment has been made and the tax of $2 on every such person not exempted has been added to the rate bill, the collection may be made by the may appoint special collector for the purpose.
 Every personal tax thus collecte1 goes into the treasury of the town, ,and neither lected bears any relation to the payment to the state for the support of the militia. Such payment is to be based entirely upon the grand list of the town instead for military service. It is therefore. as will be readily seen, of material benefit to each town to make as large an enroll ment and as complete collection as possible. The section of the statute re- lating to the apportionment of the assess ments for the support of the militia is as follows: e.
 ''The amount appropriated by the general assembly for the support, main tenance and expense of the Connecticut National Guard shall be apportioned as fon ,ws: Fifteen per cent. thereof shall be paid out of any money in the state treasury not otherwise appropriated, ,and eighty-tive per centum thereof shall be apportioned and assessed upon the sev- eral towns of the state in proportion to their respective grand lists"
 Another provision of the law prescribes penalty for refusal to pay the personal tax and closes the loop-hole through which the poll-tax dodgers easily and systematically escaped under the old law, which practically made it optional with the collector to collect or not to collect, as he saw fit. The new law holds the official responsible and makes it mandatory upon him to either collect the tax or put the tax-dodger in jail to work out the amount due, with interest and costs of prosecution added.
