Want More Dams.

The Housatonic Power Company will petition the incoming Legislature for power to build a series of new dams in the Housatonic River, these powers be- ing. however, essentially a readjustment of old powers given to the company by the Legislature. The plans call for a dam across the Housatonic, between Pootatuck River and Southville, to have height of thirty five feet above the present surface of the water.
 Another dam is to be located between the pool of the lower dam and Lover's s Leap, the dam to be five feet high. The petition also forecasts a third dam, twenty five feet high, at Roxbury Falls on the Shepaug River, some six miles north of the Housatonic. These dams are all to be used, sooner or later, for the local development of electric power and not for merely impounding the waters. More ultimate plans of the company look to the construction of 8 very high dam across the HousatOnic, just below the mouth of the Shepaug River.

Rhoades Had to be Real Harsh With
 Pugnacious Prisoner.
 Joseph Hines, of Falls Village who escaped from Litchfield jail a couple of weeks ago, where he was serving a sen tence for non payment of a personal tax, was recaptured in Wassaic, N. Y, by Deputy Sheriff Rhoades, Tuesday. and brought to Canaan that night and placed in the lookup.
 Being known as vicious and treach- ous customer, he was handcuffed by the officer. when arrested. though he enter ed vigorous protest. On being placed in the lookup here, and as the sheriff was removing the shackles, he suddenly made vicious kick at the officer. and struck at him with tremendous force. Rhoades was on his guard however, and after hard tussle, subdued the fellow though he had to knock him down and force him half way through a window in the cell room, to do it.
 Rhoades was kicked in the head, in the scrimmage. but the prisoner was given picturesque black eye which will be some time coming back to it's natural color.
 Hines was taken back to jail yesterday to pay the penalty of his escape by a much prolonged term. His time would have been up in about a week from the day he broke away, and he would now be free man-but he couldn't wait

Miss Elm fly PersOn who is making all the prepa- rations for the campaign, is confident that as result of the campaign some thousands will be added to the enrolled membership of the association and also that at least ten new leagues will come into existence and become affiliated with the State Association.
 In the meantime active work is going on in all the towns and cities in which there are no suffrage leagues or clubs.

BERKSHIRE POWER
 PLANT IS SOLD
BECOMES PROPERTY OF BIG BOS-
 TON CORPORATION
]. Henry Roraback and E. l.. Hopkins Dispose of Canaan Establishment Price Not Made Public, but it Runs Into Big Figures.


 The most important business transac- action affecting this region in years was the sale and transfer of the Berkshire Power Company plant, owned by J.. Henry Roraback of Canaan, and E. L.. Hopkins of Hartford, to the great cor poration of Stone 6 Webster, of Bos. ton, which was consummated at Bos ton on Tuesday, when the power plant. lighting and power business, water rights, etc., were turned over to the Boston corporation, ln consideration of sum not made public but understood to be ''princely" in it's figures.
 Stone 6 Webster own and manage some of the greatest lighting and power companies in all parts of the country and are constantly adding to their prop critics. This is the concern which is preparing to construct a large plant at Falls Village, where it has purchased the railroad company's water privilege, and will run line for the transmission of electric power to Torrington and the manufacturing towns of the Naugatuck Valley, over purchased right of way 100 feet wide and equipped with steel poles set In concrete bases. A
 Messrs lRoraback and Hopkins and Manager Lyles have been in Boston sev- eral days in connection with the trahs- fer of the Canaan plant, and at present writing have not returned.

 The Berkshire Power Go. began busi- ness in 1905, with considerable pro- portion of outside capital. the principal ownership being vested in the F. R. Cooley interests, in Hartford. It has been paying proposition from the start and its business has constantly expanded under the management of MT. Lyles About six months ago the Cooley inter est in the property was purchased by Messrs. Roraback and Hopkins, at ar advantageous figure, and those gentle men have been the sole owners since that time. Negotiations with the Stone & Webster concern had been in progress for about three months, and for severa weeks past Attorney J. O.

What Red Cross Seals Do,


 Every Red Cross Christmas Seal that is sold is a real bullet in the fight against tuberculosis. These seals last year helped to support thousands of needy tuberculosis patients and to give them a chance for life. They provided for many visiting nurses, whose hun dreds of thousands visits brought instruction and cheer to numerous patients. They helped maintain dis pensaries In scores of cities from the Atlantic to the Pacific, where thou sands of consumptive patients received free treatment, aid and advice. They provided the means to purchase mil hons of copies of circulars, pamphlets and other literature with which the public has been educated about tuber- culosis. They have established and helped to maintain more than 75 open air schools for children who needed open-air treatment. These are just a few of the ways in which the $33O,OOO received last year was expended. This year a million dollars is needed. Surely any one can help by buying at least ten seals.
