get Salisbury out it's provinuialism we hate to do 1t. on account of the difficulty encountered at Smith Hill. When we do come, we always lose an hour in getting here. and have to start away an hour early, owing to Smith Hills hence you lose two hours of our society on account of Smith Hill."
 Judge F. w. Seymour, of winsted. said the people of his town always suf- fered on account of the bad conditions us Smith Hill. They have to come by way of Sheffield. and he hoped they would not have to go outside of the state to get here, much longer.
 Prof. Pupin, of Norfolk, told of his long fight for improved roads in Norfolk, and how, some years ago he had induced number of his fellow townsmen to put their hands in their pockets and procure good highways in the town. He said the natural route from New York to Norfolk is through Sharon. Salisbury and Canaan but the one difficulty ia Smith Hill. The needed improvement might be brought about by autoists pay ing for it out of their own pockets. but he would not advocate the idea of pass ing the hat to build the road. He said Norfolk wants the road, as we'll as Sails bury and Canaan.
 Harry Stevens. of Norfolk, said thae as Norfolk occupied the highest poiut tn,chad hv a rasIroad onr.a x,,suht tl,fx.N that they could gain impetuous enough, coming off their height, to carry them over any road in the state, "and SO VIC can-all except Smith Hill. Norfolk wishes to be neighborly with Salisbury and Lakeville, and there are those of us who might want to go still farther, over into Millerron-for various reasons The Auto Club of America sends inquir- ing tourists by other routes, on account of Smith Hill. He believed the com missioner was already convinced of his duty In the matter.
 John B. Smith of Sharon and Corn wall. made the wittiest speech of the evening and put in some hot shot for road work in sharon. Referring to Smith Hill. he said speaker had stated that every trip over it damaged an auto mobile 90. He believed it damaged his eternal welfare more than that on aD- count of the language it elicited iz gO- ing over.
 Mir. Waitt of sharon, made strong plea for better road over Smith Hih He said sharon is two miles from the nearest railway station. and that IS in New York state. When it is necessary for sharon people to transact business in the courts. at Winsted, they encounter impossible roads. We are justified not only in requesting but demanding relief. from state officials who have the welfare of the state at heart"
 I. N. Bartram. of sharon, said he had not yet gotten over the shock to his nerves, from his experience in riding down Smith Hill to Canaan on the pre- vious Wednesday evening, and he was glad so much Is being done to bring about Improvements.

What Susfains Mir. Mellen.


 Many of the business acquaintances and social friends of President Charles 5. Mellen of the New Haven system have wondered. pub icly and privately. at the personal equanimity with which he has met the attacks on him and his progressive methods as a railroad presi- dent. The secret of it is that he finds daily inspiration and courage in these words of one of the greatest and most abused and criticised Presidents of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. ut tered during the Civil War:
 If were to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as we'll be closed for any other business. l do the very best l know how-the very best l can and l mean to keep on doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me won't amount to any thing. If the end brings me out wrong, 10 angels swearing I was right would make no difference.
 MT. Mellen keeps on his desks ID Boston, New York and New Haven, and in his home as we'll, illuminated cards containing the paragraph quoted above, and hardly an hour in the day passes that he does not turn to read again the true and effective philosophy of President Lincoln. Hartford Times.

Connecticut Suffrage News.

Danbury has been the scene of the Suffrage campaign in which since Janu- ary sixteen of the cities of Connecticut have been visited by Miss Emily Pierson anu her band of suffrage workers. Last Friday the campaign in Ansonia which had lasted a week was wound up with a mass meeting and immediately after wards Miss Pierson and all her colleag. ues betook themselves to New York to take part in the great suffrage parade. On Monday they were back in Connecti- cut and campaigning opened in Dan. bury. There is an Equal Suffrage Lea guein Danbury which is giving much aid to the campaigners, and greatly increased membership and a much quickened interest in woman suffrage is already resulting from the campaign.
 The Connecticut women who are go- ing as official representatives of the National American Woman Suffrage Association to the International Con- gress at Budapest in June are Miss Caro- line Ruutz Ress, of Rosemary Hall, Greenwich, Mrs. Ernest Thompson Seton, of Cos Cob, and Miss Whitney, of New Haven and Vassar College.
 It is expected that Senator 4elentR inson, of Colorado, will be in Oonnecti- cut sometime during the month and that many Connecticut people will have an opportunity of hearing from her at first hand of the working of woman suf- frage. Even yet there are people who seem to think of woman suffrage as something purely theoretical and of the nature of an untried experiment.. For such people it will be an enlightening experience to hear Senator Robinson tell of her experiences as 8 voter and legis- lator. Pres. 0. E. F. l..

Goodbye Birds l

Laura Graham Jones, in letter to the Hartford Courant, writes
 We may as we'll say goodbye to the birds after the passing of the bill for the destruction of starlings ant all black birds And what does that mean? That ignorant foreigners aud rabid plumage hunters are going to kill any bird that happens to strike their fancy, for with power to shoot all through the closed season, who will be OH hand to know what sort of bird has been killed Kahn wrote in his Travels in America that in 1749 after great destruction among the crows and black birds for legal re- ward of threepence per dozen, the north ern states experienced a complete loss of their grass and grain crops. The colo nists were obliged to import hay from England to feed their cattle. A farmer from Wisconsin informed me that-the blackbirds in his vicinity having been killed off-the white grubs increased in number and destroyed the grass roots, so that he lost from this cause.'"
 But it is not only from utilitarian point of view that we should protect our birds. How lonely our swamps would seem without the "O-ka-leep' of the red winged blackbird

 Wanted Man and Reward.

Deputy Sheriff Rhoades arrested Will liam H. Killmer, of Bridgeport. Tuesday afternoon, after consulting with A. P. Briggs. local humane agent. Kilmer drove into town horse that was com pletely exhausted and apparently ready to drop in it's tracks Killmer told con- ficting stories which aroused the suspi- cion in the officials that he had stolen the horse.

BUILDING THE PLANT
,OOO Barrels of Cement will be used
 ~-... in the Canal.

i6 ,OOO Barrels Of Cement will be used
 in the Canal.
 Work is now fairly under way in the construction of the big power plant at Falls Village and the dirt is flying III all directions Fully POO Italian laborers are already on the Job, and others are arriving. in gangs, every day. There will be not less than 300 men at work by the end of the present week.
 A considerable force of the men are excavating the canal preparatory to ap- plying the cement of the concrete lining which will cover the entire Inner sur face of the canal. This work, it is esti- mated, will consume 15,000 barrels of cement Workmen are stationed in gangs at various points along the canal and the work is progressing in short sections.
 Excavation for the power plant itself is in progress, on the site of the old Seger store. The power building will be 50 by 12O feet and the e1cavation for the foundation will go down to depth of at least 30 feet to rock bottom.
 Considerable addition has been made to the machinery formerly reported on the grounds There are now four pow erful hoistlng engines, three steam drills two concrete mixers, two large boilers and several pumps.
 The camps of the skilled workmen and the ordinary laborers are occupied and everything. at both camps, moves as smoothly as any community could wish to move. Everything about the barracks is neat. orderly and homelike and the men apparently take solid com fort h their respective domiciles.
