The Kimball House lobby nowadays
Is a bewildering mass of placards an
nouncing the various reasons why
this, that and the other new county
should be created by the present Leg
islature.
In all, there are a bakers dozen OF
new counties knocking at the door of
me Legislature for admission. and at
least two or three of them are beiag
viewed with considerable favor.
The proposed new county of Can
der, to be fashioned of slices of.those
three monster counties-Bulloch.
Tattnall and Emanuel-was the first
one to get before the Legislature for
consideration. On the opening dav p
blu was introduced calling for a GER
tificate of birth from the General AS
sembly for Gambler
This county seems likely to win
out. II generally is looked upon as
a sound proposition, and many legis-
lators are outspolIen in their advocacy
of it.
The present Legislature Is not hos
Tile TO the new county idea, when tho
is agreed that Gambler is.
Indeed, the impression Is that the
sole test the General Assembly Will
put upon proposed new counties will
be that of merit. If ii is Il good prop
osition, really and truly. IT Will stand
a fine chance to go through; If 1t ism ,
it will stand little, if any. chance.
That seems to be the beginning and
the ending of the situation the new
counties are up against.
1t undoubtedly seems TO be true
that every new county created by the
Legislatures in the past few years has
very materially increased tax returns,
and there is general satisfaction in
every one of them.
1t is not probable that all of the
new county propositions viii go
through, but it seems likely that sew
eral of them may.
And, anyway, Gambler, the first en-
try, looks like a pretty good bet
The percentage of lawyers in the
present House of Representatives is
small.
There are only thirty-one attorneys
in the House, which is hardly more
than half the usual number.
Notwithstanding this fact, however,
the percentage Of city Legislators in
the present House is considerably in
excess of the rural membership.
All in all. the new Legislature inn
presses visitors to the Capitol from
day to day as being well up to the
average, if not Of higher quality than
usual.

President Anderson presided over
the General Assembly in joint session
for the first time Thursday,
The joint session. being OH the Job

until President Anderson finally arose
and said: Wont some Senator kind

Judge Allen promptly arose to the
demands of the occasion and offered
the resolution, as the President had

Through inadvertence the inherit

Mr. Slade is supporting MS aSSo-

Owls MinstreIs

Putnam Nest of Owls, Director Michael J. Duffy, and the entire east in the Owls minstrels presented at the Bradley theatre Thursday evening scored decided hit.
 The first part went of with smooth. ness and dash. The ballads, end songs and jokes were all well chosen and veil delivered. The end ladies, Misses Ryan and Gagnon, were an inovation that pleased the audience and they were equal to any tend men" in talk ing part in home productions.
 The ensemble was arranged in the usual rows, the front row being occu- pied by the chief participants in white sailor costumes while the end men and ladies' in black face, were dressed in red. After interlocutor Gahan gave the signal "Gentlemen be seated! the show moved rapidly along without a hitch.
 There were also some pleasing num- bers in the olio, including the hold-up of Nelse Leclair, Prosper Vegiard, the man with the banjo, assisted by his daughter, Miss Estelle Negiard; Mike J. Duly in song and monologue, and Uncle Jasperis jubilee.
 There WAS fair-sized audience and all thought the production was a little better than the ordinary home talent effort.

Hartford still Smokes.

Hartford The smoke nuisance bill Is held up for time. so 1t is said, because of one or two other charter changes which have been grouped with it in File No. 312. One of these extends the time of the terms of the mayor and city marshal flor three calendar weeks following the date of their election, and 1t has been assert ed that, under the wording of this. the outgoing mayor would have the power of naming a corporation counsel Tor the incoming administration. If there Is any danger the matter can be cured by amendment without much trouble. The smoke nuisance matter, p phich is involved in the amendment, reads as follows The city of Hart ford may regulate by ordinance the production or emission of smoke from any chimney, smokestack or other source within the limits of said city prescribe penalties for violation Of such ordinance, and provide for the enforcement of the ordinance through existing or special inspectors or other officials It may be that this simple addition will cause more delay to the bin than the direful possibilities as to the corporation counsel The vari- oua other Hartford charter amend ,uents are. in the hospital phrase, resting comfortably" and will in the natural course Of things get through in about three weeks.

 West Ayon.-More than 1000 scrcs of West Avon forests were burned b. fierce fires that required the efforts of scores of volunteer hre-hghters 10 bring under control Starting just be fore noon, fl is believed from sparks from the II 15 train. in the woodland belonging 10 r. J Distin, west Of Cherry Park, the flames spread rapid ly and were tanned by the stiff breeze into a fire Of startling proportions.
 Back fires were used to stop the progress of the flames. and 1t Is be. lieved that the fire will be stopped with little further damage. although it vas burning herceiy late tonight. The woodland in which the fire started Is located on hill between Lovely street and Huekleberry Hill.
 The fire was visible from Canton. but was hidden from the people Of Lovely street. and il was 115 p. Ill. before they woke up To the stin prop oaitCn that they were up against. The strong wind from the northwest sent the fire al a rapid pace and there was a scarcity of fire fighters. Fire Warden k L. Distin was in command Of the forces. but there was difficulty in getting men from Huckleberry Hill to assist The only apparatus was two fire extinguishers.
 A valuable grove belonging 10 F. J. Distin was burned. He had 20 acres of oak and hickory which was twenty years old In all co acres of his wood land was burned. Other heavy losers were Albert Pinney of Canton, Fred Iawton Of Canton and the Unionyiile Water Company of Unionyille. 1t was one of the quickest fires the fire fight CTS ever met. Al one time Messrs. Distin, Lusk and Arthur Wheeler, while building back fire. were caught and had to run mile as fast HIS they could go to keep from the advancing flame. The fire is now working to- ward cleared land in Canton.
