This company was later organized, in 1887, as the Natchaug Silk company, and located on North street, where dress silk, braid, watch-guard eye glass cords and fish lines were manu- factUred The Chaffee Manufactur- at the SOrner of Church and Valley streets, in the manufacture of fish lines principally.
 Among the more recent plants are the following: Windham Silk com pany, organized in 1901; ROssi Velvet company, 1912; Vanderman Manufac- turing company, organized in 1892.
 Willimantic Machine company, 1899; A G. Turner Company, 1909; Hall & Bill Co.,, 1912, and numerous others which have aided in the recent growth of the city.
 Growth of the Borough.
 The borough grew rapidly. In 1862 the polling place was removed from Windham to Willimantic. In 1885 complete system of public water works was esta ablished. In 1893 the borough was granted city charter. Electric lights, a street railway from South Coventry to LincOln's square, trolley connection with Norwich by means of the Consolidated (now the Shore Line | Railway company railway lines con- meeting with all parts of the country, | telephones and teIegraphs, and finally municipal ice-aIl mark a new Wilh- mantle which the inhabitants of fifty | three years ago would hardly recog- nize. The print of Main street from
 North to LincoIn's store, taken about 1860, shows vacant lots, torn up | squares, and a line of horses and car | riages, where the streets are now | thronged with automobiles. Since the | picture was taken a row of trees has | grown to maturity and been cut down | in this section of Main street.
 First Four Wheeled Wagon.
 In 1909 the first four wheeled wag- | on owned by Roger Huntington was | driven to Leicester by young George
 Webb and Thomas Gray, and created
 a wave of excitement and wonder | throughout the country side. What would be the state of mind of these | simple folk if they could witness the reconstruction of today.

THE TOWN OF wNDHAM.
History Shows It at One Time to Have Belonged to Uncas-Its Early Affairs.

The history of the Town of Wind ham, like the history of Norwich, is woven around the name of Uncas, the great chief of the MOhegan Indians, the Nipmuck Indians, an insignificant branch of the MOheganS, occupied the tract of land known as Windham coun- ty. These Indians were few in num- Der and wanderers by instinct. Through the warm spring and summer they fished the Willimantic and Shetucket rivers, where shad and smaller fish were found in abundance or planted corn in the open tracts near the river banks. Thick woods covered the greater part of the territory, but the tracking of many feet between this part of the country and UnCas' head quarters, in Norwich, had worn a, well defined trail known as the NipmuCk path. Traces of the original path can still be found in Hampton and Scot land, but the main track has lost it's identity in the Main street of modern WiIlimantic.
 So the early history of Windham is the history of this wandering tribe, until King Philip was subdued and the argument relative to the legality Of Indian titles was settled. These mat ters being disposed of, 16 Norwich gentlemen, who had doubtless long had their eyes turned toward this terri tory, headed by Captain John Mason, on Feb. 29, 1875, bought from Joshua Attwanhood, son of Uncas, a tract of land eight miles square, bounded on the northeast by Appaquoque pond and disposed to the westward and southward by the WiIlimantiC and Shetucket rivers.
 Sixteen Original Grantees.
 The Indian grantor of the tract died while his father, UnCas, was still alive and the grantees came into pos session of the land May 27, 1878. The sixteen original grantees included Cap tain John Mason, Daniel and Samuel Mason, sons of Major John Mason, who settled Norwich, Rev. James Fitch

BETTER FARMING NOTES

The boys of the county have

tunity and enrolled i'm large
numbers for the Acre ieldC Corn
Contest, but there is still room
for the progressive girls Of the
county to enter the Girls But.

Commissioners for the best 5

Grand prize for the best 5 Id.
jar of butter made by any girl
in the county $40. 90, send to

Butter making is quite as
important a phase of farming
as corn growing, and there is
quite as much room for i'm
provement. This is the wom-
ems and girls department of
better farming and the Z. S.
departments appropriation to
work in the county is intended
to benefit the home and the
farm women as we'll as the men
farmers, this is one of the ways
in which the women who are
usually among the most pro-
gressive of our population can
show their interest by encour-
ageing the girls to take part in
this contest, interesting and in
structive bulletins will be sent
to each one who takes part in
this contest.
Now that the country has
been blessed with a general
rain fall, let US consider how
we can best conserve the mois-
ture for future use of the crops,
it is we'll to follow the pillow
closely with the harrow or
packer, the wheat fields can be
benefited by the iudicious use of
the harrow, the corn planted
should be narrowed before it
comes up to destroy the weeds
that will start and rob the crop
of the moisture, we may have
plenty more and may not.

IN CANADA


THE four hundred Austrians
who marched a few days ago
from Winnipeg to Emerson.
with the intention of crossing
the border into the United
States, have been in a some
what curious predicament.
They are in Canada on no nil
itary errand. They are men
who, doubtless long before the
war, went to the northwest in
search of work, many of them
with the intention of settling
and becoming permanent resi-
dents. The conditions which
war has brought about have
cisorganized industry of all
kinds and these men found
themselves stranded. Partly
to try their chances in another
country, and partly, perhaps,
to escape unfriendly action by
the Canadian authorities they
started for the United States.
They would not have been ad-
mitted, because, while work
will be plentiful in the harvest
fields later on, the labor a
ket is just now we'll supplied
in this territory and the influx
of a large number of unetnploy-
ed men would have imposed
hardship on the communities
which they entered and might
have led to disorder.
The Canadian authorities
would naturally have been glad
to be rid of these men, with the
problem which their presence
presented. AS the men could
not get to this side of the line,
something had to done with
them and, because they we're
citizens of a country with
which Canada, through her po-
sition in the British empire is
at war, it was not the part of
wisdom to permit them to
travel loose. Accordingly they
have been taken in charge by
the authorities and are to be
informed, which means that, to
all %intents, they will become
prisoners of war,
This is probably the easiest
way for the government to
dispose of the case and it is
likely to be very satisfactory
to the men themselves. They
will be fed and housed, so that
their immediate future is Sc
cure. They will suffer no
harsh treatment, and it may be
that work will be found for
them under conditions fairly
satisfactory to both parties. 1t
is one of the absurdities of war
that these men, who crossed
the ocean on an errand of
peace and industry. many of
whom are illiterate and prob
ably none OF whom have the |
faintest idea of what the trou-
bic is all about, find themselves
driven from pillar to post and
subjected to imprisonment be-
cause of something which hap
pened four thousand miles
away and in which they are
not even remotely interested.
