UNDERGROUND WATER.
Results of Investigations in District Of
Waterbury, Conn.

The rapid industrial development OF
the state of Connecticut in recent years
has created many problems relating to
rieulture, and public and domestic sup
plies. To obtain data for the solution of
these problems the United States Geo
logical Survey, in cooperation with the
Connecticut state geological and natural
history survey, has for several years
been making a detailed investigation Of
the ground water resources OF Connect
cut and is preparing series of reports
on the areas investigated, all of which
are to be published in the surveys series
of watersupply papers. A report on the
groundwater resources of the Waterbury
area, by Arthur j. Ellis, working under
Just been published. 1t contains full de-
scriptions of the water resources of the
towns of Ansonio, Seymour, Oxford, Bea-
con Falls. Naugatuck, Middlebury, Wa
terbury, WATERFOWL and Thomaston and
a detailed map of the area.
Reserve Supplies for Municipalities.
The excellent waterpower sites along
the Naugatuck invited settlers into the
area early in the history of
the state, and the growth of industrial
although somewhat slow at
first, has been very rapid during the last
few decades. The manufacture of brass
articles and general foundry work rank
first among the industries, and water
power has played an important part in
these as well as in nearly all the other
Industries in the area. Practically all

Time to Wake Up.

March meetings this year will undoubt.
edly bring out one of the largest votes
ever recorded in Vermont. The two inn
portant measures, the state primary law
and Perry bill for statewide prohibition,
are to be settled. In addition there will
be the usual vote on the question Of
whether liquor licenses will be issued this
year We know of many men who will
vote no on the question of license, and
who are against the Perry bill, which
means no vote on that measure also.
The question of uniform town account
ing will also come up for consideration
Brattleboro Reformer
The March meetings this year are of
more than usual Importance because of
the commanding issues which are to be
presented for settlement. Yet there has
been, on the whole, a state of indifference
on the part of the public, and were
stranger to come into Vermont he would
find little indication that we We're on the
eve of passing judgment on matters OF
public policy which win have farreach
ing effects.
The Messenger hopes that the contem-
porary is correct in expressing the belief
that the vote to be cast will be one of
the largest ever recorded i'll the state. 1t
ought to be. Neither prohibition nor the
direct primary should be adopted or
killed by vote which in total would be
small, with the plurality of the vote
(which win decide each proposition) rep
resenting only a meagre minority of the
enrolled voters of the state
When the primary was referred to the
people, the vote was light, so light that
the legislature did not put much faith in
it as representing the real sentiment of
the state, and it had precedent for so
doing, unconsciously, perhaps, for the
system exists elsewhere of considering a
vote not cast as being in favor of the
law still on the statute books.
And this seems reasonable way of |
looking at it, for if man is not inter |
ested sufficiently to vote for a new prop |
osition it is safe assumption to say
that he is satisfied with the law which |
the new proposition would depose were
it accepted. Yet there should not be the
of interpreting a vote in this
way. The voters should discharge their
duties at the polls. Perhaps between
now and early next month the pot will
begin to boil. The Messenger hopes so,
for none of the questions up for settle
ment should be disposed of by anything
other than real expression of popular
Adams Messenger.

A Roosevelt Boom.

| Presidential booms, and especially
! Roosevelt booms, are known to be sudder
by habit. But none was ever more sud
den and few have been more impressive
than the Massachusetts boom, engineered
over night.
Messrs. Gardner, Gushing, Washburr
and Bird took heroic method of wiping
out the Weeks favorite-son campaign
when they offered themselves as Roose.
! welt delegates They went as
far as they could to put the Weeks sen
timent out of existence and bury it.
Gone. too. is the recently advanced
plan of sending en- uninstructed delega
tion. with the united Republican forces
behind it and with an understanding
that either Weeks or Mccall might be
supported, as the situation directed.
There can be no delegation representing
a united Massachusetts, party now.
And to-day the country, already seorn-
ing the Weeks candidacy, and wonder
ing whether the Republican nominee
would be Hughes or Roosevelt, is given
its first definite light on the Republican
situation.
Mr.. Cushing is a Republican of Repub-
Leans, one of the strong men of his
party in this state. Mr. Gardner turned
away from Roosevelt at the birth of the
Progressive party. Mr.. Washburn never
was suspected of any Progressive lean
ings. And Mr.. Bird. cx- Progressive, was
responsible last fall for the election of a
Republican governor.
None of the four ever was in any
sense blind follower of Roosevelt, none
harbors Rough Rider sentiment. Their
ayowed object is to line up Massachu
sets for the candidate they think best
fitted to represent the Republican party.
Mr.. Roosevelt doubtless will be as
much surprised as any of his enemies.
A candidacy has been in the Roosevelt
mind, the public believes. but a Repub-
lican inner shrine in Republican Mas
sachusetts would have been the last place
IN which to look for encouragement.
This Is Col ROoseyelts first call.
In continued silence on the colonels
part, while the country has a chance 10
do some thinking. ne may expect echoes
OF the Massachusetts, voice.
Col. Roosevelt has weakened his posi-
ton BY shouting Of our duty 70 Bel
GUM The European war is not a popu-
lar Institution over here. But there are
nevertheless many Republicans here
about who would rather send delega-
ton for an excited Roosevelt than for gu
impossible Weeks Boston Journal

Confirms Large Class.

Ryan Reporter: Archbishop J. J.
keane Of Dubuque was here last Tues
day morning and administered the sac
rament Of Confirmation to class of
sixty young people. The class pre-
sented an imposing sight as they
marched from the school to the church
and after they were seated, Rev. T. j.
McElliott, of New Hampton celebrated
high mass, those in the sanctuary, be-
sides His Grace, the Archbiship, be-
ing, Rev. J. ODonnell, of Monti; Rev.
F. Have, Coggon; Rev. T. ]. Rooney,
Manchester; Rev. NJ. S. Murphy, Of
Castle Grove; Rev. NJ. Lonergan, Ma
sonville and Rev. j. M. Molloy.
After the mass was ended the Arch
bishop conducted his examination of
the class and the answers given show
ed that no part of their training had
been neglected. He then delivered a
most instructive and interesting SER
mon that elected many facts about
the Catholic church and its teachings,
hitherto unknown by the children as
well as many Of the old people pres
ent. AT the close Of his remarks the
sacrament of Confirmation was ad-
ministered.
The services concluded with the
Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament,
the choir singing as the closing hymn,

A JUST CRITICISM.

Independence Bulletin Journal:
Local autOists who have visited the
fish hatchery 1t Spring Branch, near
Manchester, register a vigorous kick
against the Delaware county board of
supervisors. They claim that Della
ware county chould show it's appre-
citation Of what Uncle Sam has done
for it in locating the fish cultural sta
ton there by making the road which
leads from the Hawkeye highway to
the hatchery grounds more like a
real highway. They aver that the
hatchery is visited by people from a
radius of SO miles or more every sum-
mer and that there should be a de-
cent roadway leading into the grounds
from the main highway.

Robert Barr, the democratic NOM
iliee for senator, is prominent Della
ware County farmer. AS farmer and
business men he has been successful
and his business acumen and judg-
ment are rated high among the people
of his own community. He is pecul-
iarly fitted to represent Buchanan and
Delaware Counties. both In the matter
of good common sense and judgment,
and in his sympathies and understand
ing of the needs of the agricultural
interests. He is not politician in
the ordinary sense, never buried any
party or sat up with the corpse, never
"hollored'" down rain barrel to hear
the echo of his own voice, but he can
be depended upon to represent the
business interests of the people Of his
