BUILDING ACTIVITY IN EASTERN CONNECTICUT

for an encampInent; secure from at tack from enemies, as the approach at either end could easily have been guarded. Protected above by the sheer wall or rock and below by the growth of timber on the plain, it would have been difficult indeed for a warning tribe of Indians to surprise the Cow hantic Indians in this fastness.
 Standing on the plain now covered with second growth timber and gazing up at the gray rock walls the massive natural fortress, entirely shutting out the world on the western side and casting grim shadows over all, one can understand the wisdom of the American Indian in choosing both his winter and summer homes. No longer can one picture him in imagination as an aimless wandering creature. think ing only of securing his food from day today: instead they can realize his sagacity and prudence as perhaps they never did before.
 Scrambling up the steep path. one can reach the top of the ledge and thus obtain a view of the surrounding country of surpassing beauty. Rolling hills stretch away as far as eye can see; the course of the Little river can be traced by the growth of trees along its banks. White farmhouses, red barns roofs of other buildings are dotted. here and there among the hOl- lows of the hills. while directly east OI Ine IeuS6 lDo Ndlley CnuICIl SledIuS white and peaceful in the dale
 Standing on the dizzy height and looking down on the treetops, one can imagine that they can see the many Indian wigwams among the trees; can see again the smoke of their fires curl ing lazly among the branches and catch the gIeam of their campfires burning bright. One feels as if tres passing upon an Indian village and half expects to see the red man re- turning with stealthy step to his home. But the silent gray old rocks hold their secret well, and no tale is left to tell the story of the red man who up to 200 years ago made the fastnesses of Cowhanttc rocks his home.
 The land is now owned by John Nc Loughlin, but the town should take pride in making suitable highways to this historic spot, and erect sign boards to direct the visitors there. But even if you must make your way through the undergrowth unguided you will feel well repaid by your visit to the Cowhantic ledges.

Venice,s Water. dousinn ProbLen.

Venice is confronted by a serious problem. The city is rapidly gaining in population, and so far no place has been found to accommodate the increase, There are now 30.000 inhabitants in Venice in excess of suitable quarters. Among the many plans discussed is the building of new quarters at the Lido Island. Another plan contemplates an additional town at the mouth of the Brenta River. To study the whole housing problem. as well as other ques- tions of lOcel importance, prominent citizens have organized a society named Pro Nenezia.' The present popula- tion is 1G5, GOO against 161, ,00O in 1911. The cholera kept many tourists from Venice in 1911 entailing a loss of thosands of dollars. Last year there were no such fears. and the Biennial Art Exhibition and the dedication of the restored Campanile brought an un- usual number of visitors.

 A Norwich citizen tells of Doan s Kidney Pills.
 Could you demand more convincing proof of merit?

WlNDHAN HIGH
 SCHOOL BUILDING Contractor Will Begin to Lay Brick This Week-Other- Construction Work in WiIIimantic.
WINDHAN HIGH

Work in WiIIimantic.
 The work of demolishing the ruins of the burned Windham High school building has been nearly competed. The Fenton Charnley Co. of Norwich which has charge of the work, will begin laying brick the latter part of the week. A great many of the old bricks were found to be unharmed and will be used in the reconstruction. Some cement work has already been done on the cellar floors. The old chimney which is still standing, will probably be saved, to become an in- tegral part of the new high school
 Jordan Garage.
 Matters are progressing rapidly at the new Jordan garage on Main street where thirty men are working under the direction of the Connecticut En- eineering and Contracting company. The rear of the two story cement and fire brick building is nearly completed and already houses several automO- piles. \ flight of solid concrete stairs leads to the upper f1ooR next to the elevator well, where the work of put ting in the elevator is under way. The rear of the upper floor will be used as a repair shop and the front as storeroom. Concrete pillars support the building. whose dimensions are 144x52 feet.
 Congregational Parish House.
 The outside construction of the par igh house at the Congregational church is practically finished and the plas- terers are at work inside where the partitions are all in place and the wiring completed. This two story structure will add greatly to the con- venience of the parish when completed.
 Natchaug School Foundations.
 At the Natchaug school on Jackson street the foundations have been com pIeted and the steel girders for the first floor are being put in place. Work is going ahead rapidly under the direc- ton of Doyle and Murphy
 Church Street Building.
 The one story and basement build ing to be erected on the Methodist church prorerty on Church street is under the direction of the Connect lcut Engineering and Contracting com- pany. The soil is full of loose stones, uncovered by the excavation for the cellar. so that work on the foundation is not progressing very rapidly. As soon. however, as the company has finished with the Jordan garage, large force of men will rapidly rush the building to completion.

ROUNDHOUSE WORK
BEING RUSHED

1t is surprising to note the
progress that is now being done
by Contractor C. A. Fellows in
the building of the new Santa Fe
round house west of the ice plant.
An unusually large force of men
have been put to work on account
Of the delay by the cold weather
experienced the last month when
work was retarded and practical
ly abandoned. The concrete work
on the large pits is about COM
pleted and already the walls of
the buildings are well in the sky.
A big sewer main from the round
house to the river is about com
paeted and in a few weeks work
will be commenced in laying a
large water main from Clear
Greek direct to the round house.
Aside from the original contract
of building the round-house
General Foreman Seeley informs
us that additional contracts have
been let to them for numerous
other small buildings in that Vi
cinity and he anticipates that it
will be about another year before
the entire work of building will
be completed.

Brewis-S Stewart

Stealing away to Gibson and
letting cupid do the rest is get
ting to be a rather popular affair
these days, but this time the
Independent had a guard out and
calmly witnessed the ceremony
performed Wednesday evening
which united Mr.. James Brewis,
a Gallup man, but at present at
Winslow, and Mrs. Amy Stewart
an efficient clerk at the F. S.
Lawrence grocery in this city.
Mr.. Brewis came down a few
days ago with the intention of
taking away one of our young
women, but decided to keep the
affair a secret for a couple of
months at least but cupid talked
Of it in his dreams last night
shortly after the ceremony took
place.
Gallup has two very efficient
judges, Messrs / w. H. Carroll
and Geo. Meyers, and the next
couple that tries to steal away to
culminate schemes like that will
be subject to a severe reprimand.

Mr.. Brewis above mentioned is

today and they will make their

From Stafford Graham County,
comes the news that for the
second time within a few months
Stafford is again voted dry by two
votes. The latest election was
on petition of the vets 1t was
reported a few weeks ago that
there was a material change in
sentiment on the part of some of
the Prohibs who while not losing
faith in the theoretical virtues Of
prohibition observed that there
was just as much liquor consum-
ed after as before the town went
dry and the usual amount of
drunkenness. Not only this, but
the consequent loss of revenue
was a painful and stern reality
which caused a number of Pro
hibs to feel doubt about the wis
dom of their action. That the
substantial majority Of the
''Drys" in the first election is,
after brief period Of two months
reduced to the paltry sum Of two
votes, speaks eloquently Of the
failure of some theories working
out when practically applied. 1t
would seem that in the light
Of Stafford S recent experience in
an effort to keep the town dry
that a few more days would suf-
fee to put the substantial major
ity on the wet side in that town.

Town in Darkness S


The Town Board at it's meet
ing Tuesday night got streak
Eof economy on and reduced the
price for street lights from Sc. .00
per month to IS cents. The re-
suit was that the manager of the
Light Co., took out all the street
lights yesterday, and last night
the town wasin darkness.
There is a mighty good old book
with whose trite truths the mem
bers of the town board are evi-
IDENTIFY unfamiliar, which says,
Men love darkness rather than
light because their deeds are
dark. /"
The town has been getting
lights cheaper than most towns
IN this section. 1t has been pay
ing just the same rate as all of
us individuals who use the lights
are paying.
For several years the writer,
with others, said out of their
own pockets every month to keep
our streets lighted.
NOW, WITH TAXATION OUT
OF ALL REASON, our town is
left in darkness, and no marshal
is provided. 1t looks as though
there. was a studied effort to turn
our town over to the toughs.
Shot UP the Town
On Tuesday night some fel-
lows, after mixing some of our
unlicensed saloon whiskey and
bootlegged apple jack, got out
on the streets and began to shoot
up the town. Some ten or fifteen
shots were fired, but no arrests
were made.

ARRIVAL OF ELK
SETS TOWN ACOC
Noble Animals Given Royal Reception
By Members of Local Lodge

the question that everybody has
been asking everybody else. If
you haven't seen them you must
belong to the small minority in
town who has failed to visit the
stock yards to see the most in
teresting objects that have ever
arrived in Winslow.
The animals were trapped in
the Yellowstone Park under the
supervision of the government
by a Mr.. Anderson and were
shipped from Gardner, Mont,
on the 31st day of January ac-
companied by Robt. Doney. They
arrived in Winslow Tuesday
morning at four o'clock. AS
stated above from early morning
until late in the evening crowds
of people were seen making their
way to the stock yards.
The animals are all yearlings
except three which range be-
tween the ages of two and three
years. They arrived in excellent
condition.
Thursday morning State Game.
Warden Mr.. Rogers of Phoenix,
Mr.. Doney and Marshal Bledsoe
left for the mountains in the
Kiddoo auto to look over the
ground where the Elk are to be
located and it was decided to
forward them next Monday or
Tuesday in large crates and wag-
ons to the Creswell corral. Eight
wagons have been hiredand the
crates will hold about eight head
to the load. They expect to feed
the animals for about six weeks
and then turn them loose in the
hills.
Much doubt was manifested
among the people here whether
the Elk would stay in this section
of the country very long after
turned loose, but Mr.. Doney
states that there will be no trou-
BILE about that matter. He also
states that they will multiply very
fast and he expects that about a
year from this spring there will
be at least 140 Elk in this vicini-
ty. There are sixty-fve cows and
fifteen bulls in the lot and every
one a beauty.
DIR. Looney of Prescott is one
of the enthusiastic Elk that came
up from Prescott to see the an
imals.
During transport one of the
Elk broke a leg and later died
at the corral. Various sums of
money were offered for the hide
of the animal but it was decided
to make DR.. Looney a present of
the hide for the good work he
has done in getting the shipment
of animals to this section of the
country.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for

this famous old recipe which can be
depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair and is
splendid for dandruff, dry. feverish,

A wellknown downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell 1t

dampen a sponge or soft bruch with
it and raw this through the hair,
taking one small trand at time.
