moving rocks and other Instructions in the channel, in accordance with the requiremments of the act of congress approved March 3, 1909.
 The estimated cost of removing the Instructions in the channel in ac- cordance with the plans submitted herewith is s1.500. The two obstrue- tions indicated OH the accompan ying plan are the only Instructions between the city dock and the dredged channel in the Thames river below the Laurel Hill bridge
 The Laurel HilI bridge is a fixed bridge, but it has a clear height. such that it does not cause interference with the navigation of the river by any boat which could otherwise navi- gate it. The principal navigation from the city dock consists of excursion steamers which, during the summer season, run from this point to New London and nearby points on Long Island sound.

 Or. Raymond M. Evarts, of Santa Ynez, Cal, says s' After using your Castoria for children for years it annoys me greatly to have an ignorant druggist substitute some thing else, especially to the pa- tient's disadvantage, as in this case. I enclose herewith the wrapper of the imitation"
 Dr. R. NJ. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo, says ttPhysicians generally do not prescribe proprietary prepa- rations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice be- cause I have found it to be a thor oughly reliable remedy for chil- dren's complaints. Any physician who has raised family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recom- mendation of Castoria."

south of the Laurel Hill bridge to the dock of the city of Norwich, with a view to removing rocks and other ob- structions in the channel authorized 3, 1909.
 The dock of the city of Norwich is on Shetucket river about 500 feet up- stream from the Thames river, be- tween which and the Thames there is ample depth of water for navigation, except 9 two points. where there are obstructing rocks with depth of wa ter over them of about 6 feet at low tide, the channel between the rocks having approximately a 12 foot depth at low water and width of 30 feet. The district officer states that because of the currents and the location of the rocks with reference to each other, navigating boat between them is ex- ceedingly difficult and he considers it in the interest of the navigation of the river to remove the rocks, one to depth of 9 and the other to a depth of F feet. at an estimated cost of s1,5Oo.
 I concur with the district officer. the division engineer. and the board of engineers for rivers and harbOrs. that the locality is worthy of improvement as proposed.
 As the navigation of the Shetucket and Thames rivers is so intimately re- lated, it is recommended that the pro- ject for the latter stream be extended to include the work proposed.

I know of it's good qualities and re- commend it cheerfully."

more roughly repudiate reform,
root and branch, than did Millerij by
his complete and 8unequivocal align
ment with the standpatters in the
house. When he voted against the
revision of the rules which made Can
nonism possible, he betrayed the trust
reposed in him BY the people Of the
eighth congressional district. ~, .1E
This language Of the Herald Is just
and accurate. Mr.. Miller is now send
ing a circular letter to his constitu-
ents. The first paragraph deals with
the tariff. The last paragraph reads
as follows:s d. s sr'. RI [, z. y, IN, n
= During the organization of tho
house I was: member Of the So
called insurgent band, and in Repub-
lican caucus voted against Mr.. Can
non and against adoption of the old
rules. Being bound by rule to sup
port the majority will of the caucus,
L did so until released; then acting
with others OF liberal views, was
instrumental in securing beneficial
changes in rules, as follows:sT (1)
Calendar day, when any member can
bring up his bill for passage; (2)
unanimous consent calendar; (3) Sc
lection of members of committee on
rules by the two parties acting in
caucus. + sincerely trust you will

resentativeE in congress. and call upon

There Is much more of interest in
this letter than the direct false state
ment of fact: 1t would probably be
hopeless In any, brief way: to explain
to, Mr.. Miller's constituents; unfamil-
lar, with congressional procedure and
not knowing in detail exactly what
happened at Washington the after
noon Of March 49, just how cunningly
Mr. Miller's letter, is worded to de-
ceive, while artfully presenting an
