CANAAN BOY IN CAMP.

The following extracts from the letters of Canaan boy, now in camp somewhere near Niantic", are in- teresting as throwing sidelight on army life:
 Yesterday Twas on guard. We have five prisoners here, deserters from Battery E., and when mess call sounds we have to escort them to their mess, with our automatics and guns loaded with orders to shoot them if they start anything. I don't know whether would take shot at the poor devils or not. But guess, if I didn't, I'd get it myself.
 While drilling on horseback this morning, one of the horses started to run away, when we were cantering in column. The fellow lost his stirrups and in trying to grip the horses with his legs he stuck his spurs into the horse. 1t ended up with the horse stumbling and falling on top of his rider, jarring him up quite a bit, but that was all. He was very lucky to escape getting hurt"

CONNECTICUT COMPLETES QUOTA
  Three Counties Are Above the Number AppOrtioned.

Connecticut has completed its quota for the regular army, the mark set on April l having been passed during the present week.
 The total regular army quota for Connecticut, as apportioned on April 1, was 2,22S men. The number forwarded is now above its quota. On June 2s, when the special recruiting period designated by President Wilson began, there was balance of 1,200 to be ob- tained for the state quota. On August 1 the state had secured more than HOO men and during the present week the number of recruits forwarded passed the complete quota mark.
 Commenting on this, Governor Mar GUS H. Holcomb said
 "The news that Connecticut has filled its regular army quota IS mig hty pleasing to me. Connecticut has once more come up to scratch as she always does. Before we get through the country will find that it can bank on the people of Connecticut to keep up the states reputation for patriotism.
 The figures for the regular army en- listments by counties covering the period from June 23, when the county quotas were assigned to August 2, are given below:

SEWER IS EXTENDED
''PeaseyiIIe" and Upper Railroad Street Connected to Main Line.

It was at the annual meeting of the Fire district in February, 1916, that a petition was presented from the resi-. dents of what is known as Peaseville, asking for the extension of the sewer through their section.
 The proposition had come up the year previous, and committee was appointed to consult with those who would be served by the sewer. But nothing definite had been done; So the matter was laid over to an adjourned meeting to be held in two weeks.
 At that meeting held March 4, 1916, the following resolution received a favorable vote.
 "That the sewer system of the Canaan District be extended by con- stucting a line of sewer with the necessary laterals, from convenient point of intersection with the present sewer line, upon the north side of Main street, near the residence of H. l.. Ross, to the residence of Henry
 Neeling".
 In the year following plans were anu CSoiLhopOo SOOu1ONA LOA OOAu- pleting the work, the necessary tile was bought and paid for, but labor conditions did not warrant going ahead with the work.
 At the last meeting of the fire dis trict committee it was decided to pro- ceed with the work at once. Chairman 0. G.. Smith has given the job his per. sonal supervision.
 The tile is laid now as far as the gardens north of the street leading to the residence of E. S.. Pease; further work on the line is to be held up until the vegetables are out of the ground and then the line. only short dis. tance, will be finished.
 In the meantime, the committee have had line surveyed from this new sewer extension, through the driveway between W. A. Wright's house and Mrs. J. P. Rains tenement, down Railroad street to the point where the sewer was laid several years ago, near the Wilcox property.
 This extension will provide for all of Railroad street to the Pease crossing as we'll as Bragg street and the houses in "Peaseville"

ELECTRIC POWER COMBINE
Important Consolidation of New Eng
 land Power Interests.

The Public Utilities Commission re. ported favorably last week, on the ap- plication of the Rocky River Power Company, for authority to purchase the United Electric Light 6 Water Go. of Waterbury, the Housatonic Power Go. and the Seymour Electric Light Go.
 The Electrical World of July 21, outlines the plans for the merger as follows:
 J. Henry Roraback, president of the Rocky River company, appeared before the commission and presented chart of prospective hydro. electric power de- velopment on the Housatonic River be- tween the Massachusetts, boundry and Derby.
 The properties are to be merged under the title of Connecticut Light 6 Power Company, and it is planned to build 8 three. million. dollar hydro electric station at once at Stevenson, northwest of Derby and west of SeY- mOur.
 In the future it is expected that a large m-turbine relay station will be constructed to supplement- existing plants, but the location has not been announced. A probable site is on the shore of Long Island Sound, where the best possible facilities for fuel delivery at low cost and ample ccndensing water exist.
 MT. Roraback said the properties pur- chased by the Rocky River company will be turned over for cash outlay of $6, 500. 900. By the consolidation, engineering improvements and central ized operation, will be effected, to the great advantage of the residents of the Naugatuck and. Housatonic valleys, in- cluding the important cities uf Water. bury, New Britain and Berlin.
 In a general way the new system will occupy the territory between the Hartford and the New Haven central station areas, while a systematic utili. zation of the water power available on the Housatonic River, will enable the power to be generated at better efficiency through the co ordination of plants and control of steam flow.
 All the companies affected operate in territory having important industrial customers for power, and in the Nauga- tuck Valley in particular products directly or indirectly bearing upon the prosecution of the war are manufactured on large scale. The demands of the industrial concerns and of other occu- pants of the territory for electricity, for light, heat and power service are rapid ly increasing, and special empha- sis was laid at the hearing upon the possibilities in the way of increasing available-Senerating and distributing capacity through the consolidation.

COAL IN PITTSFIELD.

The Pittsfield Eagle says the short ton price paid by the city at the yards for coal is about $7.14 and the city council committee on fuel and street lights may offer to the public coal for sale at the city yards.
 "This action", says the Eagle. ''may be taken owing fo the fact that 100 tons more of stove coal .wes purchased by the committee than is actually necessary and tine 100 tons which was bought for outside poor may be sold to the public at inc yard and the over. seers of poor buy what is wanted for that department from dealers, owing to the fact that the deliveries to out. side poor are in quarter and half-ton lots''.

This table shows that in North Ca- naan one person in every three contri- buted, in Canaan one in every three and half, in Litchfield one in every eight, and so on. The showing for the two Canaans is really phenomenal, and indicates that one or two persons in every family (assuming households to average five) were contributors to the fund.
 In closing this summary the chair. man for the several towns should again be congratulated on their work, namely J. H. Lancaster for the whole territory; Hon. Donald J. Warner for Salisbury; H. E. Lyles for North Canaan; J. s. Tracy for Canaan; Mrs. Henry O. Alvord for Morris; George B. Farnman for Cornwall; Mrs. Joseph H. North for Goshen and George s. Kirby for Sharon.
