SEES RISE IN LIVING COST

George e. Roberts. director of the
mint, who has recently returned to
Washington from a trip through the
west, predicts that the cost of living
will advance.
He says that while agricultural de-
velopment will be noted. he does not
expect 1t to keep pace with the in
crease in population. Farm rentals are
advancing. he finds. because many
farmers are being forced back to till
ing of the soil. The consumers must
realize. he says, that the day of cheap
free land has passed. and with an ad-
vance in the cost of everything enter
ing the production of foodstuffs there
must be an increase In prices to the
consumers.
Mr.. Roberts points to the fact that
the census shows the population of
the country increased 81 per cent. be-
tween 1900 and 1910. while the farm
land area increased only AZ per cent.
and says it means higher living cost

a Old ShackIes Found

Relics of perhaps a century ago, which could undoubtedly tell an in- teresting tale if they were endowed with speech were found buried deep in the ground near the hot house of the New Haven Nursery company on Goffe street, near Ellsworth avenue; Thursday afternoon says the New Haven Journal Courier. A workman of that company, while at work on grading there, came upon rusty chain and digging down further he exposed @ metal ball such as was used to hold conYicts in the olden days all of which showed signs of hay ing been buried for close to full cen tury. The chain shows signs of having been filed through and the natural infer. ence seems to be that convict escaped with the ball and chain and after filing it of, buried it in the ground.
 The ball and chain were so deep in the earth that it would have been im- possible for them to have got there by chance. One of the theories was that 8 convict working on the roads, which was the custom many years ago, might have gotten away and hidden his shackles.

 Dan Sweeney says: "An egg in the hand is worth two in the grocery store, |" which sage observation was inspired by by the strange occurrence that befell, Sunday morning, when Frank Daley ot East Canaan who lives on the Sweeney domain. arrived at church.
 He had no sooner driven up to the church door, and landed his passengers, than a fine fat, speckled hen flew out from under the seat of the wagon and futtered off toward Isaac Lermond's, cackling loud and triumphantly.
 On recovering from his surprise, Dali ley looked under the seat, and found there fresh-laid egg, which biddy had deposited there on the journey down from East Canaan. The hen was re- covered the next day. ~

TROLLEY LINE COMPLETED
First Gar to Canaan Promised for Next Monday

The trolley line to Canaan is now practically completed, the work that re- mains being simply the finishing touches that will require hardly any time or labor for their completion. The 'froRs" for the cross-over at the Barnes turnout have been delayed in transportation. .and a temporary crossing will be installed, pending their arrival. The poles are all up and the wire strung practically to the end of the line. The platform at the terminus beside the hotel has been cemented, and the little round signal station placed at the north end of the platform, it's former position at the end of the rails, as it obstructed the view from the hotel office window. E
 It is given out with the appearance of authority that the first regular car will run to Canaan next Monday, though an experimental trip may be made by the officials at any day before that.

Half a Billion Tons of Goal

For the first time in the history of the United States, the coal mines of the country in 1910 were credited with an output exceeding half a billion short tons, the combined production of anthra- cite, bituminous coal, and Ignite having amounted to 50l ,576, 1895 short tons, with a spot value of $629, ,529, 745. This great output according to Edward W. Parker. Coal Statistlcian of the United Stlteo Geological Survey, was attained in spite of the fact that most of the mines in Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma were closed for nearly six months by one of the most bitterly contested strikes in the history of the inpustry. The heaviest tonnage mined ID any year previous to 1910 was in 1907, when a total of 480, 1863, ,424 short tons was produced.
 Compared with 1909," said MT Parker, 'the output in 1910 showed an increase of 40, 762.27 short tons. or 8.85 per cent. Prices generally were a little higher in 1910 than in 1909, the average for Pennsylvania anthracite being $2.1S per long ton, against $2.O6 i'll 1909, and the average for bituminous coal was $1.1 per short ton in 1910
 
 increased $50 per cent.
 Except for the States affected by the strike order, the increase in production was general among the more important coal-producing States. The output of anthracite in Pennsylvania increased from 81,O7O,359 short tons, valued at $149, 181 ,587, to 84, ,485, ,236 short tons, valued at $160, ,275 ,302, gain of 4.21 per cent in quantity and IA per cent in value. The bituminous production, in- cluding semianthracite, semibituminous, camel, splint, and sub. .bituminous coals, Ignite, and small quantity of anthra- cite from Colorado and New Mexico, in- creased from 379, ,744, ,257 short tons. val ued at $405, ,486, TIT. to 417,091, ,659 short tons. valued at $469. .254, ,443, a gain of 9.83 per cent in quantity and of 73 per cent i'll value.
 "The total increase of 40, 765, ,279 short tons in 1910 over 1909 was equal to 20 per cent more than the entire output of the United States in 1870 and more than half of the total output in 1880.

To Remedy Long Sessions.

In October the state will have the chance to approve an amendment to the constitution providing that the limit of any sesson shall not extend beyond the last week i'll June and the voters of the state ought to turn out and approve it if they will not take the trouble to elect men who will do the states work The shame of the present session has been it's indifference to work and the perfect willingness of the members to travel backward and forward at the expense of the commonwealth. Perhaps the limit was reached when the members, as they apparently did, deliberately prolonged the session in order that they might come to the state fair here at the expense of the state. Considering that the voters will have chance, ill month, to say that fu.ure sessions shall end early ill June it is probable that they will say lat future senators and representatives s'all attend to business if they consent Uo be candidates and get themselves elected.-Hartford legislative COT.

BENHAM COTTAGE ENTERED
Articles Strewn About the Place, but
 Nothing Missing

The Twin Lakes cottage of MT. J. O. Benham, of Amenia. was broken into last week. Nelghbors noticed that a panel in the door had been smashed, and MT. Benham, who had returned to Amenia, was notified. He at once came over and examined the cottage. It was discovered that the place had been thoroughly ransacked and articles strewn all about, but it was not thought any thing was missing, the burglar proba- ply being in search of money, jewelry or valuables. which are never left at the cottage. The door has been re- paired. There is we'll defined suspic- ion as to the identity of the perpetrator, but for the present the suspicion will be kept quiet.
 A movement is under way to provide watchman at the Lakes, as was done last year, whose duty it shall be to pro- tect the cottages and other property from thieves and interlopers. Mason Noble, Jr., will be the man. and his family will occupy the Grove cottage temporarily.
