 One thing that worries the city of New Haven is that Hartford seems likely to get improved railroad terminal facili- ties sooner than the Elm city.-Hartford Post.
 Hartford does not propose, 1t seems, to have their old railroad station rebuilt If it can help it. It is very unfortunate that the fire was in the wrong city and destroyed the wrong station. New Haven Journal-Courier

TO BOOM CANAAN.

A proposition calculated to promote the material advancement of Canaan and put this good old town more con- spicuously on the map than it is at present, is suggested by President Hol- sapple, of the Canaan Business Men s Association, and cordially approved by members and citizens who have taken pains to consider it.
 The idea is to boom the town by means of advertising exhaustive write-up of the attractiveness of the place, from the viewpoints of it's natural advantages of location, scenic beauty and resources its progressive spirit and growth in civic pride and local patriotism it's superior railroad facilities, commercial institu- tions, schools, and up-to-date municipal conveniences the thriving communities adjoining and surrounding from which it draws desirable and profitable trade, etc.
 The proposition will be submitted to the next monthly smoker of the Business Mems Association, March 19, for the members to consider and discuss.
 The activities of the Association have been confined largely to matters of local improvement, and it has accomplished much along that line. But there is a recognized and urgent need of more aggressive brand of hustle, among the business men, ivelier personal interest
 
 in the general welfare and the advance ment of whole community's interests, if the real mission of live and useful Business Mems Association is to be &C., complished and growth and develop ment are desired. Laziness and indif. ference are poor factors ill any endeavor to boost town along. Every citizen should show degree of interest and be willing to do his share and under the policy of Get Together and Pull Togeth CT, there is no limit to the reasonable achievements that can be brought about. By following the advice of Pre- sident Johnston, at the January banquet of the local Notwithstanding the town SC attractive in it's physical. civic and moral aspects, that outsiders will be attracted to it, long step will have been taken then by booming It, along the line of Mr. Holsapple's proposition. the fruit of that patriotic labor may be harvested. There should be a large attendance ot business men at the next smoker, March 10
