PUTNAM, CONN. FRIDAY, JUNE IS 1917
THE MICHIGAN TRAIL
DedicatOry Exercises Friday, June End
Auto Parade Webster to New London

Little did Uncas, chief of the Mo
hegans, realize when Ehe won the de-
cision over Miantonomo and The Mar
ragansett tribe of Indians at East
Great Plain FRIDAY, June %, 1913,
just .260 years ago., how he was TO i'm.
mortalize his race of people and per-
petuate the name of his tribe as per-
haps no other one thing could ever
have done.
Two hundred and sixty years from
that day the people of eastern Con-
necticut, Friday, June %, will open
with fitting exercises at Mohegan Hill
in the 10 wn of Montville, the old In
dian Trail leading from New London
to Webster.
1t is simply wonderful the way the
Trail idea has caught on. The people
of eastern Connecticut are ready now
for the big day and only waiting for
the program to be announced-the
speakers, the musical program, the
line of march, the Indian succotash
and what not, are questions being
eagerly asked OF the committees all
along the trail Executive Secretary
H. b. Ayers of the Webster Dudley
Chamber of commerce will have for
his city the honor and glory of organic.
ing the first section of the mammoth
automobile parade on this memorable
occasion. Secretary Ayers has already
notified the committee that Webster
will hit it off with not less than 80
automobiles. Putnam will do its best
not to be cut rivalled by Webster.
Danielson will try TO Guido Putnam.
Central Village, Moosup and Plain
field are to unite and are to form their
section on the grandest view point
along the Trail, on Main street in
front of the old historic Lafayette Inn.
Here they will await with pleasure
the arrival of the parade in Plainfield,
Rev. A. w. Keefe having the arrange
ments practically completed for that
town. DR.. G. II. Jennings of Jewett
City is one of the enthusiastic pioneers
in the Trail movement in Jewelt City
and promises Jail kinds of surprises
from his hustling borough.
A parade is planned for Norwich
with Tubb's band at the head of the
long line. The procession will pro
coed up Broadway, around the plain
known as Chelsea Parade, up Lincoln
avenue, down Oneco street to Sachem
down Sachem as far as Uncas monu
ment. Here there will be a brief stop
and the monument will be decorated.
The procession will then proceed
down Washington street and over to
East Great Plain and thence to Mo
hogan Hill, arriving there at IL o'clock
! sharp.
| The speaker of the day will be Flavel
S. Luther president of Trinity College,
Hartford, and native of Windham
County.
Patriotic songs will be sung by over
by over 200 school children. UseAmer-
lean flags literally, and bring basket
ludches.
Although the Mohegan Indian wo.
men will provide'clam chowder with
Indian dishes at noon, the suggestion
has been made that basket lunches be
taken along.

Red Cross Notes

The first supplies sent by the Put
nam Red Cross to a Putnam boy in
the service of his country were shipped
this week, when nine comfort bags
went to Private Mark Fritz klebart OF
the Medical Corps of the United
States Army at Fort Hamilton, New
York. The young soldier, who is a
son of Mrs. Ida +. Klebart of South
Main street, will keep one for him
self, and distribute the Others to nine
comrades. The other men are: Pri-
Yates Ray f. Judy, Aleck Lsrkins,
Harry Kuhl, Michael AL Sohmer,
William w. Powell, William Zickler,
George G. Garsick, Vincent Trapania.
Samples of the standard comfort
bag and its contents went on exhibit
ton today in the windows OF the Isaac
Champeau company and +. w.
Woolworth's five and ten cent store.
The Red Cross room in the Munich
pal building has been rearranged Tor
greater efficiency and proper curtains
and a Red Cross banner have been
hung there. Just at present, there Is
little lull in giving out work, partly
due TO the considerable labor sorting,
bundling and packing the completed
articles, and partly because 1.-THE small
crosses of red which are to be sewn In
to the various garments have given
out and 1t has not yet been possible to
obtain more.

The Michigan Trail

1.-THE Indians extended the term
Mohegan over the whole tract between
the Yantic and Shetucket, now COM
prisIng Norwich and Lisbon. This
whole territory was Mohegan, but for
particular portions of it they had in
dividual names, eleh with an appro.
pirate meaning. Thus their villages
on the banks of the Thames were
Shantok, Pumma chog and Messapeag.
This last name signllied "a place for
fishing Some have derived the word
Moheag from a term signifying
raspberry, and have supposed that
Norwich was originally and peculiar
ly. the Mohegan, i. e. Raspberry lands
of the tribe on account of the abund-
ance of that fruit found here. The
name Norwich was given to the place
about 1862.
Mohegan Turnpike
The road from Norwich to New
London was laid out as early as 1870
but was little better than an Indian
trail. In 1872 IL was made turnpike,
the first in the United States, the
funds for its improvement being raised
by a lottery for the purpose by the
legislature:
Mohegan River
In DeForrest's History of the In
dian Tribes of Connecticut due men.
ton is made of the fact that in the
earliest days of the advent OF the
White settlers to Connecticut, the In
dams referred to the Quinebaug as the
Michigan river, just above the tunnel
was one OF their fayorite fishing spots,
Weirs made of stones running in Y
shape from either shore down stream
to the center of the river bed, The fish
were driven from up stream down in
TO these weirs and through the small
opening where members OF the tribe
were stationed when with spears and
by other methods then secured their
necessary supply. Especially were
shad caught there in great numbers
during the spring season. These weirs
are still in existence and are TO be
easily traced during the period Of low
water in the Quinebaug.

PUTNAM'S HEALTH PLAN SUBMITTED By
DIR. TERRY

Sanitary Expert Gives Advice as to Ueerng Local Health Conditions
Valdez daily prospector., 1917-07-20
TRADE OUTLOOK BRIGHT

Merchants who are alive to their interests and who desire to profit from the industrial activity of this section can see some interesting signs in the last statements made by the local bank. The increase of de- posits amounting to almost $500 daily is the result almost entirely of the improved condition of the work ing classes of this section. These con- ditions will continue at least turnout the year, and may for several years. The result of this is that thousands of workingmen who have been paid but bare living wage for years be-
 cause of the depressed condition of business of this section are going to be heavy purchasers during the sum- mer and autumn months. They will have the with-all to buy the ne cessities of life and many of those things that heretofore have been real luxuries. The wideawake merchant will foresee these things and shape his business to take the best advan- tage of the improved state of affairs.

IN THE one small customs district of the state of Washington during the month of March, 1917,, there were imported goods that paid tariff duty to the amount of s1,299,940. But in the same month the goods that came in free amounted to $21,026,- SsS. In the same district, during the first eight months of the current fis- cal year, the imports from Japan alone amounted to s131,551, 1000, and this was an increase of over 100 per cent for the same period in the years 1912-13 under the Payne protective tariff. It is quite manifest that under this democratic system the foreigner does not help carry the burden of American taxation nor is the Ameri- can producer protected against for eign competition.-Steubenville Her ald-Star.

THE proposed Canadian draft is stirring up very bitter feeling in the Dominion. Some prominent leaders of parliament have predicted a general labor strike if the draft is enforced, and possibly civil war. But these threats generally draw the keenest censure from the advocates of con- scription, and it now seems certain that Canada, too, will follow the course of the United States and here after replenish her armies thru the means of the selective draft.
 Those who favor the draft in Can ada say it would be nothing short of an outrage, now that the Domin- ion has hundreds of thousands of men abroad, not to give them every assur- ance that they are to be supported in their efforts in the war, and that if the government permits radical laborites to intimidate it depressing effect upon the men at the front is certain to follow.

WHAT somebody describes as meat with a kick is being eaten in Austria with gusto. The Weser Zeitung quotes an advertisement from North Bohemian paper praising the nutri- tious qualities of donkey meat, saying that it is an excellent substitute for chicken for making soup, and recom- mending donkey blood sausages as great delicacy. No wonder the Teutons fight stubbornly!
