CITY AND BRASS co. MAY MAKE
 DOCK BARGAIN

The Council Committee on Harbor made proposition to the Bridgeport Brass Company, last night. which may result in bargain being driven rela- tive to an exchange of wharf property for the right to fill in the slip between the city yard and the land of the company on Housatonic avenue.
 The slip is 400 feet long and affords fine dockage. The city and the com- pany own it jointly. The company desired to close the entire slip and in return to build city dock 200 feet across the front of the city yard. This offer did not appear advantageous to the council and was refused.
 The present proposal Is that the company shall have the right to fill in the entire inland half of the slip, leaving the lower half open to the har- bor, that it shall bulkhead this slip on both sides and build a wharf across the front of the yard as originally proposed.
 The offer was made upon the sug- gestion of Alderman Eugene l. Mey- CT and an agreement may be reached. The company was represented at the meeting last night, by W. R. Webster, Guy P. Miller. secretary and treasurer of the company was unable to be pres ent Mir. Webster is an alderman, having been elected at the last elec- tion.

ANTIS FORM

Hollister Heights Residents Desire to Preserve Their. Town Meeting Rights.
Especial to The Farmer. )

Stratford, March 4.-Annexation, buried deep, must yet be buried deep CT and to this dirgeful end John J. Haggerty, John Dalton, Patrick Brown Charles Gibbons, Michael Fitzgerald and others of Hoilister Heights will form, sometime next week, an anti-annexation club, to beat into the dust the Annexation club, headed by Former City Atter- ney James F.

The land now car- ries property, but is far from self supporting, yet we have a handsome to maintain and we have gas, water and other improvements. We are even to have fire company, which will be located in the old school house. Why should we change from the quiet security of a suburban town, vote and voice in town meeting, for connection with a city, where the rights of the people are vested in a number of councils. boards, commis- sions and the like, which represent the corporations as often as they do the voters.
 ''We can take care of ourselves un der town meeting system" con- tinued the speaker. we are our share of the vote in thriving sub- urban town. We can go into town meeting, present our needs to our fellcw townsmen, and get our share of what the town has.
 'But not so with Bridgeport There we would be merely handful on the outskirts of a populous center, not numerous enough to obtain the improvements that we ought to have, nor rich enough to hire influential lawyers to lobby for us. Our share of what Stratford has we believe will be more for us, than that we could get for many years as part of Bridgeport.
 eff the time ever comes. however" continued the speaker, when the whole of Stratford is to be annexed, the Stratford group would then be strong enough to command respect.
 "But for the present it is Stratford and our right to be heard in town for us.
 The organizers want it understood that there IS no an1mosity upon their part toward the promoters of the an- nexation movement. The former be- lieve that the latter are moved by the highest motives, but are not fully in- formed as to what the results of an- nexation would be.
 The anti-annexationists are now proclaiming that James J. Sexton, leader of the annexation forces, who spoke for annexation before the com mittee on cities and boroughs, has a bandOned the fight, recognizing that he has engaged in a lost cause and that he is opposing the will of a ma- jority of the Hollister Heights people.

 The first measure under discussion was the Employers Liability act as presented by Mayor Fisher, in con- Junction with his Workmen's Com pensation act.
 According to the provisions of this Employers Liability bill, its action would apply only to those employers who refuse to accept the proposed Workmen's Compensation act
 After two hours discussion the con- ference voted to amend this act to apply to all employers, whether they accept the terms of the Compensa- tion act or not. In this amended form, which makes the bill far more drastic than before, it will be report ed back to the joint committee on Judiciary and Labor.
 The discussion which preceded this action occupied the greater part of the afternoon, and the conference committee saw that it would be inn possible to discuss the various Work mems Compensation acts in detail.
 It was thereupon agreed that in behalf of the committee, Mayor Fish CT will submit report substantially as follows. regarding Compensation: That three compensation bills are re- ported, and each has it's adherents, but that no member of the confer ence committee is in the position of asking for his bill or none at all.'

BACK TO PEOPLE
 MOVEMENT WILL
 PROGRESS FASTER
Thus Declares Norris in Speak ing of the Action of the Se- nate in Seating Lorimer

Washington, March 4.-Definite ad- vancement of the National non-parti- san "back to the people, movement will result from the seating of Will liam Lorimer, of Illinois, in the Sem ate. and the defeat by the Senate of the resolution paving the way for the direct election of Senators. This somewhat paradoxtcal assertion was the conclusion reached, to-day, by have watched the trend of events. Representative Norris. of Nebraska. summed up the situation in the fol- lowing statement written for the United Press:
 Copyright 1911. by the United Press
 Association.)
 (By Representative George Norris.)
 Great countries move gradually through a series of apparent reverses which, in the end, are proved to have been in reality advances. Obstacles in the way of a great moral move ment become finally stepping stones to it's accomplishment.
 Thus it has been with the 'back to the people" movement In politics. Within the last three days the Sen ate of the United States has placed two stepping stones in the path of the
 
 cal purity-one when 1t failed to ap- prove the constitutional amendment providing for the direct election of United States Senators: the second when it voted to give William Lori mer his seat as Senator from Illin- ois. Tn the vote on the direct elec- tion of Senators, the upper house of Congress, for the first time went on record regarding this long-sougEt re- form. The measure failed by four votes and showed its advocates their strength and their weakness. 1t IS a safe prediction, from an analysis of the vote on this measure, that within a few years the Senate will give the own choice and discretion in the se- lection of Senators.
 And the seating of William Lori mer, after the blazoned record that marked the investigation of his case, will do much to hasten the passage of a direct election constitutional amendment That 40 Senators were convinced that Lorimer won his seat by improper methods and voted against seating him, is a potent com mentary on the present system of election by legislatures, in many cas- es all too easily controlled by power full interests.
 The case. with it's record of sordid politics spread in glaring nakedness before the people, will augment the already insistent demand that the control of Senatorial elections be ta- ken into the hands of the sovereign power of the republic. Lorimer's election is a practical demonstration, demanding that system, proved wrong, be lighted.

DENVER, Col, April S.-The
Colorado department of the forest
service of the national forest as
ISOLATION is undertaking this year
to seed thousands of acres of de-
nuded forest land in the Pike, a
range about 50 miles long, by the
process of sowing in the snow
storms.
During the last few weeks thou
sands of acres on the Pike, pre-
viously marred by fire or unwise
cutting, have been seeded with
pine and fir which will some day
cover the mountain tops with
dense forest.
Seeding in a snowstorm is rec
commended by the forest service as
a means of thwarting the ravages
of the rodents and the birds, and
to offset the death of the seed due
to too speedy absorption of mois-
ture.
The seed is sown just as wheat

is sown, scattered broadcast. The
sewers are careful to do their
work in the snowstorm or at
least soon enough afterward to in
sure the absorption of the seed
before the snow packs. The seed
lies in the snow until it melts to
the ground in the early summer.
1t gradually sinks as the snow
sinks and then when the snow has
completely disappeared it contin-
ues to sink through the moist
earth until it reaches it's proper
.depth in soil.
There are fourteen million acres
in the so miles of Pike and a good
share of it has been swept by
fires. Reseeding is being has
tened, not only to preserve to the
state its forest supply, but to pro-
tect the water sheds that are di-
rectly responsible for the mer-
camille and domestic water sup
ply, in the cities of Colorado.
