 New London, Oct. 4-For the first time within the memory of the oldest citizen a New London city meeting was held in the open, that is not in the old court house, but on the out side. This was due to the prevalence of influenza and the mayor did not deem it advisable, for sanitary req sons, to hold the city meeting in the building, although there were not more than forty citizens at the meeting. All the recommendations made by the court of common council in regard to annual appropriations were passed, including a snug increase to give the mayor, some other city officials and the cops considerably more pay than they have received in the past. Form CT Mayor and Governor Thomas M. Waller was there, and as of yore as- sumed the role of leader in matters forensic. He had something to say in response to the saying of anybody else, and when this was lacking he spoke on matters of his own origin.
 At seventy and eight, Mir. Waller is remarkably active man apparently as active in local affairs as he was half q century ago, and with that same dictorial attitude. regardless of  mentary ways as the Waller way is the way city business ought to be con ducted. The only difference between then and now is that the present gen. eration does not seem to require a Waller or any other man to teach them lessons in municipal manage ment. In consequence the old time leader has to keep his weather eye out in order 10 keep into the band wagon. It was made plain during the meeting that the governor is still consulted by some when plans are made to oppose administration plans.
 A native cf New London, son of a German father and Civil war veteran, and of an Irish mother, Engelbert Sauter by name, objected to patri- otic appropriation on the ground of it's illegality The governor bounced on him in the open meeting by stating that Sauter was of German descent and that he Waller, had talked to him like a father and had advised him not 10 oppose that particular ap- propriation even if it were not legal -ly made. This characteristic Waller move won him favor and S1uter lost force. Another man, of purely German birth look more prominent part in the meeting than did MT Sauter but MT. Waller wisely avoided any reference ( ott7t gentleman hy reason of his na- tia1al-ty and thereby hint at disloy- 9l--. There was a reason. He is bet fer a-led and equipped than is Saut- Ter f7r counter attack and a long frish fight.
 The city and town election will be hr.i in New London next Monday and if the city is all that the republican leaders claim, there is TO doubt as 10 the result, and Elias P. Morgan will be elected mayor and his great popu- srity will land his associates on the ticket to the offices ballotted for. Theodore Bodenwein, managing owner Of the Day, is now chairman of the republican town committee and much space is devoted to booming the sev- eral candidates through the columns of his newspaper. Pictures of the can didates are shown and under each is a short sketch of introduction to

 10 NEW LOCATION
 FOR MORE GRAVEL
Bucyrus Dragline Excavator Moved Out to Former Gravel Bar
 Near Bailey Station.

Last night the Bucyrus dragline excavator, which had been getting the necessary gravel for ballasting and surfacing work on the new D line, was loaded on a flat car and was this morning taken to the old gravel bar near old Bailey station.
 All of the camp cars were also loaded on flat cars and moved to the new location, where they will probably remain until work on the line is closed down for the season.
 The gravel bar at that place is situated across the tracks of the old .line and opposite to where the old barns and other buildings of caps 10 and II, including the sta tion known as Bailey, stood, and there is practically an unlimited quantity of this material for all prac- tical purposes. -..~

BASEBALL GAME
 AT PARK TONIGHT

The baseball game scheduled 70 take place tonight at 2 o'clock, has every indication of being fast and snappy, and with a nice cool breeze blowing and the sun sinking low in the west, a good crowd will no doubt be in attendance.
 The boys have been doing a good deal of practicing, and taking last Sundays game as a criterion, a one- to nothing, no-hit, ten-inning game can reasonably be expected. This probably will be the last. game played in Nenana this summer by some of the old regular players, for several of them are going to be inducted into the army the latter part of this week, leaving on the steamer Panama for Gibbon. So all the fans better buy a ticket early in the evening and get hold of some little Red Cross worker and bring her along to see how Alaska boys play the great national game.
 The proceeds, after the grand stand is paid for, will be turned over to the Red Cross society.

DENVER TO GAIN NEW HIGH RECORD
FOR WAR GARDEN WORK THIS YEAR
Denver Union Water Company
Teach Patriots How Help Lick Kaiser
Growing Food Supplies in Vacant City Lots and Back
Yards; Last Year Denver Had 10000 Gardens.

When our President called upon the
people of the United States for help.
the city Of Denver was the first to an
swer and they answered in no uncer-
tain terms. The Denver Union Water
Company inaugurated the garden
movement with the free water offer
and the people planted exceeding 30,-
600 gardens under the direction of the
water company's experts, and the
harvest was bountiful From 10000
600 to 100000 gallons of water was
required daily.
The gardens had several significant
meanings:
First-They taught patriotism in n
practical way.
Sccond-They gave people a new
idea of helping themselves.
Third-They gave many a tired
business man and many tired So
ciety woman healthful recreation.
Fourth-They kept children from
the street and gave them pleasant and
educational occupations.
Employ Woman Expert.
This year the water company has
obtained the services of n woman as
garden expert, Mrs. Martha A. Shute.
Mrs. Shute is known from coast to
coast. She was for sixteen years sec
retary and member of the Colorado
State Board of Horticulture and COM
missioner in charge of exhibits at the
Chicago worlds fair, the Trans Mis-
sissippi exposition and the worlds
fair at st. Louis.
At these great shows the state of
Colorado carried off the honors and n
major portion of the gold and silver
medals This was due, in n great
measure. to the organization and in
formation of the staff in charge, as
well as the superiority of the eN-
hibit.
The women of Denver cannot show
in better way their patriotism and
their love of country than to get out
and work in the war gardens.
"This is the month for those who
have war gardens to force n few of
the vegetables for home consumption"
says Mrs. Shute. "The plants can be
bought later for field paintings
