designed, and how they keep from
killing people every day is the
mysteries, not of myself, but of
everyone 1 have talked with on the
subject. If you fail to hear from
me at any time, just hang some
Grape ON my Office door and notify
all my enemies, so they can take a
day Off for rejoicing.
] have been here less than a
month, but I will confess that /
have more than once longed for a
breath of that cool, fresh mountain
air you people are now enjoying
and that reminds ME that this is
Thanksgiving Day and that you
are perhaps eating turkey and lots
of other good things. Well, it is
Thanksgiving out here, too, and
yesterday l saw thousands of peo-
pile with armsfull of bundles and
loads of Holly, all looking like
they were going to have a good
time today. One of the City pa
pers made the remark yesterday
that $50 tons of the delicate bird"
would be consumed in that burg
this Thanksgiving. OF curse that
pertained to only San Francisco,
for in the estimation of the people
of that city there really is no other
place worth mentioning GU this
coast. But, just the same, Oakland
is getting away with San Fran
cisco's goat in the building line.
1t would make you people weep
to see how dwelling houses are
sprining up in this mans town.
We are living in a thickly settled
part of Claremont. One year ago
this was a COW pasture. Since that
time IA houses have gone up here
in this section. | passed along
a street here recently and saw a
building going up. Four days
afterward l went along the same
street and the one building had
grown to ten, to say nothing OF the
many other new buildings that had
sprung up in every direction, and
they are all of the most modern
style of architecture too, every one
a pleasure to the eye and a delight
to live in, for they contain every
possible device to make them at
tractive and comfortable, fIom a
writing desk, built into the wall
to an ironing board hinged in a
nice little closet, with clothes clos
cts galore and sleeping porches-
no contractor would dare to build
a house without a sleeping porch.
Fancy a sleeping porch in a Sara
toga house! These houses are not
duplicates of each other, either.
and the beauty of it is that they
are all handsome and attractive.
they are now building a new kind
of house here-covering it on the
outside with cement plaster-not
smooth, but rough, daubed on with
a brush. 1t makes a very durable
house, requiring no paint or re-
pairs, but you would not want to
fall against it in the dark. for ii
would make you look like the
"other fellow" after a close and in
teresting rough and tumble tussle
to decide which man had erred.
All these houses have fireplaces
and they have to be used too, for
it is as cold as the dickens here
until the u gets up and warns
up the country. AS a matter of
fact 'out of doors" is the warmest
place you can find in this country.

WINDSOR LOCKS
 MILLS CLOSE
 WORKERS LEAVE
STRIKERS WALK TO SHOP 400 STRONG CHEER
 ING AND SINGING.

Windsor Locks, June 6-In ac- cordance with notices posted, late yes- terday. the employees of Windsor Pa can Writing Paper Company went to the offices of the mill, today. and re- ceived their pay in full. The mill, which was closed when outdoor laborers, working 10 hours, went on will remain closed indefinitely. Many of the skilled employees have secured work in a New York paper mill and have left town. About 150 hands were employed.
 uation at the Russell Company's mills at South. Farms is not so near a so- 1ution, today, as it was thought to be late yesterday. A detail of six feet tall policemen under a sergeant came down from Hartford, last evening and were quartered at a local hotel. At 6 o'clock, this morning, they were marched to the mills and reached there just before the arrival of nearly 400 strikers, a majority of whom were women. They were singing ana cheering. It is understood there is quite an addition to the ranks of the strikers who have recently been or ganized by the Industrial Workers Of the World.
 !. There was no attempt at violence and the presence of the Hartford po- licemen had a somewhat deterring eff feet At noon the employees in the mills did not leave their work but were furnished with dinner served by local caterers at the expense of the company. Shortly before noon it began to q rain and the afternoon s march of the strikers was postponed. The guards at the mills will be kept here for several days at the least.

An Other Connecticut Cities Have Agreed to Prop6si-

New Haven, June 6-From all indi- cations 1t appears that the New Ha- ven trolleymen are the only ones in the state that have refused or will refuse to accept the compromise of- fer made by the Connecticut company to their demands for higher wages.
 The next step that is expected IS that the whole matter will be settled 5y arbitration or if all but the New Haven men accept the proposition that the diffuculty of those men may alone be arhltrated. rt,.
 The full vote of the New Haven men shows that out of 490 votes cast on the strike question all but were in favor of going out The taking of . strike vote is considered by many to be a means of bringing the matter to q head
 ontside of New Haven, Bridgeport and Hartford, have voted almost unani- nously to accept the increase which gives half cent an hour increase to oil men with maximum of 27 l-2 cents an hour.

DEADLOCK OVER
 SENATORSHIP IN N. M. LEGISLATURE.

Santa Fe, N. M. June 6-Democrat- ic members of the legislature, today, ridiculed the claims of the Republi- cans that United States Senator Al. bert B. Fall was reelected for a six year term beginning next March, at a meeting of the members of the House and Senate last night.
 Eighteen members of the House sud- denly appeared in the Senate chamber. The sergeants-at-arms locked the doors and the Senate overruled Lieu tenant Governor DeBaca, Democrat, and declared itself in joint session.
 Although 21 members of the gHouse were absent. a ballot on the Senator ship was taken and Fall got 32 voter. The presiding officer ruled that a votes were necessary to elect The Republicans laughed at this ruling and adjourned.
 The Democrats of both Houses planned to hold a similar joint eey-. sion'' late today and elect some one else Senator. By combination with one regular Republican and the pro- gressives, they can muster more than 37 votes which is a majority Of all the votes in both Houses. It is believ- ed that ultimately the fight will have to be settled by the United States Senate. Falls present term expires March 4. 1913.

BRYAN TALKS OF ROOSEVELT ::
 THIRD PARTY
Asks If Taft Will Have Courage to Use All Ma
 chineryat His;C oi1imand
THE SMALL PRIMARY VOTE
In Brief Interview Demo cratic Leader Discusses
 Republican Situation

Chicago, June Civilian Jennings Bryan, in an interview copyrighted bJ the Newspaper Enterprise Association today. speculates upon the outcome of the Republican national convention and sums up the situation in two questions, adding third course which he offers as a possibility. He asks if President Taft will have the courage to use the machinery which he con trols-and if the machinery will not break. He inquires if Colonel Roose- welt, in case he does not have enough delegates, will take what he has and hold another convention, nominating himself. He sees a possibility in the Republican national committee seat ing enough of the contested delegates between the President and the ex- president to deadlock the convention and give the balance of power to La- Toilette and Cummins.
 aThe Chicago convention" declared Bryan, promises to be the most ex- citing ever held in the history of the country, provided, of course, there IS no surrender before the battles Never before have we had a President fight ing for second term and an ex-Pres- ident pitted against him for a third term. An inexhaustible quantity cc red fire is supplied for the celebration by the fact that the contestants, once boon friends, are bitter enemies.
 '.At present, it looks like two con- .ventions, if MT. Taft's supporters have the courage to do all that Is within their power Who ever can answer these two questions correctly can foretell the result at Chicago-W;II President Taft dare use the machinery he controlsEDoes he want that kind of a nomination? What will Mr. Roosevelt do if his contesting dele gates are denied seats?
 If the combatants are left to them selves. it is safe to guess that Roose- welt will be a candidate either the nominee of the regular convention or the nominee of boiling convention"
 Discussing a bolt, Bryan confinueS: v s.Supposs MT. Roosevelt is nomlnat- ed either by the regular convention OF by convention of his own. will the Republicans who oppose third term bolt? Is their attachment to thee traditions of the fathers strong enough to lead to an organized pro- test against MT. Roosevelt? = MT. Roosevelt has studiously ignored the third term issue. When men have suggested that he wants to be Presi- dent for life-with a remainder over to his son-he calls them hard names but this kind of evasion cannot last through campaign. He will have to define his positjq4 qsablic know how many terms he conaders proper or allowable.
 eff MT. Roosevelt will add together the votes he has received at the pri- maries. and compare the total with the total vote in those states, he will find that he is woefully short of a majority even in Republican states and he must remember, too, that some who voted for him did so,. not because they loved him more, but be- cause they loved Taft less.
 "There is abundant evidence of protest at the polls; even if no ticket is put in the field by the anti Roose- welt Republicans"

 PENETRATES ]. STEEL PLATE
American-B British Go. Pleased With Showing Made by
 1,W6 Pound Missile :

A very unusual showing was made in a recent test of a 12 inch mortar shell manufactured by the American British. Co. when the shell was sent through steel plate of four and a half inches thick. The test was made at the United States proving grounds at Sandy Hook. The large projectile has been returned to the factory where it was made and will be kept as souvenir and a specimen of the workmanship of the shop and the quality of work t4rned out there sneli Tx was in the the ntss siisrcs ii1sFS sFs scratches showing the direction III which the shell turned as 1t sped through the steel plate. There was a small piece of a copper band which is placed at the tail of the shell and rifling, torn from the shell, but other than that the shell is perfect.
 This Showing is very unusual Usual ly a shell of the kind is shattered or cracked by the force with which it strikes. The projectile was sent neat ly through the four and a half inch steel plate. at an angle of 45 degrees. projectiles. This cap serves as a ward and clings to the object, thus saving the projectile from glancing from it's course should it strike at an angle, The shell weighs 1,046 pounds and was sent through the plate from a distance of about 200 yards. from the mortar. The nose of the shell was highly tempered. treated with oil and it took about ,25 pounds of pow der as it's prope1ling charge.
 The unique showing of the shell has occasioned considerable comment among army and navy officials who have learned of 1t.
