LEARN THE LESSON.


 One of the lessons which will finally be drawn from the trying experience of the present forest fire season, in the be- lief of officials of the U. s. Department of Agriculture, is the need of wider organization among private owners of timber to safeguard their holdings.
 It is pointed out that already in the northwest, both on the Pacific Coast and in Montana and Idaho, timberland own CTS have formed themselves into assooia- tions which assess the members on an acerage basis and thus meet the cost of maintaining a regular patrol and fire fighting organization. Only by getting together can private owners usually as- sure themselves protection, for fire is no respecter of boundary lines and the man who undertakes to keep it out of his own timber will want it kept out of his neighbours too.
 If the private owners would every where shoulder their reasonable share of the burden. the public would gain both through more general forest conservation and through relief from the necessity of paying for the protection of private tim Der in order to protect its own.

Canaan Locals.

A hay stack on the Charles Nelson place, High street, burned Friday noon The fire caught somewhat mysteriously, and is said to have been the work of a child playing with matches. An alarm was given and quite a number from the center of the village hurried to the scene in the belief that house was burning. The stack contained several tons of hay.
 A number of Canaanites are this week taking in the Great Barringtnn Fair. To-day, Thursday, there is an exhibition of thoroughbred horses on the track in front of the grand stand ard hall ex- hibit, and this afternoon comes the horse racing and platform attractions Friday the governor will attend with his staff and militia as an escort. It will be big day.

Making a Trolley Line
 [Continued from page Il

were allowed to remain. It does not in any way mar the beauty of the country through which the trolley will pass.
 A steel bridge 97 feet and one inch long with a clear span will be put up over the tracks of the New York, New Haven and Hartford road where this line passes the Baldwin farm. The abutments will be built of concrete; in fact all the masonry required in the oon- struction work will be concrete for which Portland cement is used
 Asked by the newspaper men as to the cost per mile of the Egremont line, Mir Towne stated that it would cost from forty to forty-fiv thousand dollars which shows that the builders are not sparing money in doing the work. Last week big pile driver was at work where the steel bridge is to be placed and all along the line of the road are numerous steam drills in operation. The pile driver is in charge of men from the Scott Wreoking company of New York who have done similar work all over the country. The bridge when finished will have 25 foot clear way above the New Haven tracks.
 After B careful inspection of the work under way, the party were piloted to the commissary building where the labor CTS, mostly Italians, are fed and lodged. The store on the premises is in charge of a clerk from DeAngelo's store in Boston and it is we'll stocked with all the kinds of food stuffs usually required by the sous of Italy. It is neat and the goods looked fresh and good. Almost all the eatables are imported from the old coun- try. The men are orderly and the rules governing the sanitary conditions are very strict. Each workman is furnished with cot bed and mattress and his meals are furnished by an excellent cook who presides oyer large kitchen equip ped with huge range and all kinds of cooking utensils. A member of the Great Harrington board of health visited the place the other day and he was very we'll pleased with the buildings in which the men are living. Many of the men have their own little buildings which were erected by themselves and some of them are rather unique. being built of logs and boughs cut on the job.
 , The laborers are paid $1.75 per day for ten working hours, teams are paid S5 per day and the bosses receive from SS to $6 per day. There are two blacksmith shops on the job and each of the two smiths in charge has helper.
 The building of these trolleys will mean much in the development of south ern Berkshire and in fact tho entire county as there are numerous fine build ing sites along the routes. The Sheffield job, as has been stated, will be started in few days and buildings for the use of the men are now under progress of erection. The contractors expect that the Egremont line will be in operation by the time winter sets in. MT Towne told the members of the party that the road bed is as good as is usually con- struoted for steam line and that freight trains hauling the bigg sst cars could be run over it.
 As was said in the beginning 1t is we'll worth any ones time if they wish to see how railroads are constructed, through new country, to visit the scene.

 Lesson Work
Interestingly Explained by Miss Stooker at the M. E. Church Tuesday
 Evening.

Evening.
 A large audience gathered at the North Canaan Methodist church Tues. day night to greet Miss Wilhemein Stooker, the State Elementary Superin- tendent of Sunday Schools, who spoke on the work of her department through out the state. As a speaker she was able, well informed, resourceful, and intelli- gent and was listened too with close at. tsntion.
 She spoke on the new system of the International Sunday School Lessons recently taken up, and which are used in the M. E. church here in three grades, beginners, primary, junior and inter mediate. She told how the lessons had been prepared by Sunday school work experts and afterwards submitted to prominent Sunday school workers, for suggestions, and how later they were approved by the International commit tee. The work of the second year in these lessons she said is 8 little harder than that of the first year, embodying as it does hand work additional to the les son study.
 The lessons have been far more suc-' cessful than even their enthusiastic pro- genitors thought possible in SO short time, and even the publishers, who took hold of the work with some misgivings at first, have found that the lessons have scored a success, far beyond their dreams.
 There are four styles of these lessons, the Syndicate, the Keystone, the Sun day school Times and the Standard Publishing Co.,, all being good products.
 Miss Stooker answered a flood of questions on the lessons and proved very apt and interesting informant. During the evening coffee and sand wiches were served and social time followed.
 Mrs F. F. Stevens was elected group superintendent of elementary Sunday school work for the Canaan district.

CAANAN WATER
Why It Has That Disagrssable, Fishy
 Taste.

Why It Has That Disagrssable, Fishy
 Taste.
 Everybody who drinks Canaan water these days will notice the disagreeable, tishy taste. It is not due to fish but to the Algae in the reservoir. While Algae are extremely distaSteful they are harm less.
 The disagreeable taste and odor have caused the people to question the purity of the water supply, and many have feared the water might cause sickness. This fear is entirely unwarranted. The existing conditions are caused by microscopic plant growth, commonly known as Algae, the particular one causing the present trouble being known as Aphanisomenon. Fortu- nately the Algae growths are not in any way detrimental to health, and have no effect upon the human system.
 There is no practical way whereby these growths can be prevented with the present reservoir system. If the long drouth is broken by 8 hard, cold rain it will destroy the Algas. growths. Since the recent rains the taste in the water has not been as bad and as we get more of these rains and colder weather such taste will soon disappear altogether. Patience is at present needed.
