OIL IS FOUND
Along Central New England Railroad
 Farms Are Being Leased

That the Central New England railway runs through an oil produc- ing country will be startling news to people in Hartford, which is the eastern terminus of the road, but take trip over the road to the west, to Pine Plains, N. Y, and one will find the neighborhood in great ex- citement over the discovery of oil in the vicinity of Shekomeko, a little village in the mountains between Millerton and Pine Plains.
 The oil found is of light color, en- tirely different from the crude oil usually found, and three farms have been leased by promoters for long periods. One promoter already has sunk seven shafts in efforts to locate the source of the oil. Farmers in that section of Duchess county, New York, are not accepting offers for their farms nowadays without first having an oil expert look the ground over for possibilities. That section of New York state has at times fur nished evidences of wealth in the earth. Lead mines were at one time opened at Ancram, silver was mined for a short time down in Dover and iron ore and limestone have always been obtainable.

PUBLIC MEETING FOR
 DISCUSSION OF U. H. CO.
Nature of Work, Wages Paid and Other Matters
 I Ahnounced

A public meeting was held at the town hall last Thursday evening for information and general discussion of what the coming to this town of a branch of the Union Hardware company of Torrington means. Joseph L. Parsons, president of the Canaan Business Mems Association, presided and called the meeting to order. He stated the call for the meeting and called on Allyn Fuller to explain in detail what he knew of the plans of the new concern.
 MT. Fuller's information generally consisted of what was printed in last weeks News. Further than that he stated that all girls or women em- ployed in the new factory would work by the day until they were accustomed to the work when they would go on piece work. Girls do- ing similar work in Torrington earned on an average of SIS per week. Men in the Torrington fac tory doing this work averaged $25 per week.
 Regarding the future of the fac tory here, MT. Fuller stated that the company was now turning down orders because of their inability to fill them and that they had sufficient orders on hand to last until next April. Nothing more than the moral support of the town is wanted as the company has sufficient funds for

COUNTLESS SUCKERS DEAD
Clog Wheels at Power Company and Drawn Away in Wagons

A stranger passing through Falls Village at night would wonder if he had been suddenly transported to the sardine factories of Nova Scotia or if fishing fleet had just arrived from the Newfoundland banks. The reason for the strong odor of fish in an inland town, is that thousands, if not millions of suckers, with now and then a pickerel or trout, have met an untimely death in the Housatonic river and foated down to the Conn. Power company's raceway where they were raked on shore.
 When we. say thousands we mean just that. For probably at no one time have so many suckers ever been seen before. Three two-horse wag- on loads were taken away last week and as many more left on the banks, while from points south various in- quiries have come regarding the dead fish.
 What caused the death of these fish no one seems to know. The County Game Warden was at a loss to account for it and the theories advanced by others throw no light on the matter. If the river had been dynamited certainly other fish would also have been killed. The same reasoning applies to the theory that the heavy rains washed chemicals from the East Canaan Chemical company into the Blackberry river If either of these agencies would kill sucker they would also kill trout.

CANAAN TENNIS TEAM
Defeats Pine Grove Trio on Lyi&s
 Tennis Court

The Canaan Tennis Club defeRted a team from Pine Grove last Mon day in hard-fought match that last ed until it was almost impossible es see the ball. The final score was 4 points to l. The Canaan boys won two single matches and the double contest, while the Pine Grove boys carried off one single match.
 All the matches were close and stubbornly contested. The feature encounter of the day was that be- tween James Lyles and Rolls Abbott working vicious service and fast forehand drive, Abbott took the firrt set after a long struggle, and then jumped into the lead in the second set. At this point, Lyles, who had been inclined to be cratic, steadieH down and pulled out the set. With the score tied, both boys were work ing their hardest for thn third and deciding set, which was fun of sharp rallies and brilliant plays on both sides. Lyles finally broke through his opponents service,. and carried off the odd set and the match.
 The contest between F. Barnes and O. Nickerson was also hard fought. After dropping the first set, Barnes came back pluckily to win the second, and then forged rapidly ahead in the deciding set. He was within a few points of victory, but the Pine Grove star came up with B rush and won out, scoring the only point earned by the visitors.
 The summaries of the matches follow:
 H. l.. Berkowitz, Canaan, beat H Bechtel, Pine Grove, 6-1, 6-3. J. Lyles, Canaan, beat R. Abbott, Pine Grove, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4. O. Nickerson, Pine Grove, beat F. Barnes, Canaan 6-3, 4-6, 7-5. H. L. Berkowitz and J. Lyles, Canaan, beat H. Bechtel and R. Abbott, Pine Grove, 2-6, 6-4. 6-3.

EXCHANGE TEMPORARY
 FOR PERMANENT BONDS
Less Than Half Bondholders % Here Have Exchanged
 Bonds

Interest is due on bonds of the First, Second and Third Liberty Loans in September, November and December. There are no coupons on the temporary bonds of these issues for this interest. Doubtless great many bond holders will discover this fact at the time interest is due and much confusion and congestion may oceur through impatience to secure permanent bonds with interest cou- pons at once.
 The Treasury Department reports that less than 55 per cent of the tenn porary bonds of the Third Liberty Loan have been presented for ex- change for permanent securities, and that the proportion of permanent bonds of the First and Second Liber- ty Loans, which have been delivered, S even less.
 The Treasury Department has is- sued posters and placards which will be displayed in every Post Office calling this matter to the attention of bondhoIders.
 we are informed by the Treasury Department that owing to unavoid- able delays in the preparation Of permanent bonds of the Fourth Liberty Loan, they are unable to provide a stock for exchanges on the loan interest date October 15, 1920), at which time the last coupon of the temporary bond will be pay able, and the Treasury Department states that it is improbable that they will be able to supply the necessary stock before January 1, 1921.
 The Canaan National Bank has bonds of the 1st, End, and 3rd Lib erty Loans, which it will exchange tor the first bonds of these loans issued.

CHILDREN INJURED
 IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Little Girl Dies, Boy in Hos . pital from Injuries
 Sustained

Diana, aged 5, and Jesse, her brother, aged 8, children of Joseph Brown of East Canaan, were so seri- ously injured in an automobile acci- dent shortly after four o'clock Fri day afternoon that both died at the Litchfield County hospital. Both the children were playing in the sand side of the road when team driven by c. H. Sage drove by and the youngsters attempted to "hitch' on behind. Then leaving the wagon and attempting to cross the road as a Pierce-Arrow touring car approach ed, was the way the accident occur ed. ,~.' ." ". @- -.'t
 The. driver of the car seeing the childrAn at the last moment, turned so sharply to the right that the car completely about faced and turned three-fourths over, pinning the tots beneath. The top of the car struck the little girl, severing her leg at the hip, and the boy was badly crushed about the head and chest. First aid treatment was rendered by Dr. Harvey of New Jersey, who is stop ping at East Canaan, and a passing car rushed the children to the County hospital at Winsted where the little girl died early the next morning.
 The car which struck the children was owned by H. E. Page of East Hartford, who with other officials of the Electric Supply Company of that place were on their way to Albany to attend a convention of salesmen. Occupants of the car were considerably bruised and cut from broken glass, but luckily es- caped serious injury. Two of them were taken to the hospital for treat ment.
 The accident occurred in what is called the Number 5 district, about mile and half east of the village, in front of the Brown home. The Brown fmily moved to this place from Hartford less than two years ago and engaged in farming.
 It is not thought the full extent of the injuries of Jesse Brown, 8, will be known for a week or 10 days, it was stated at the county hospital.
 The body of Diana Brown, sister of Jesse, who died Saturday morn- ing as the result of injuries received in the accident was taken to Hart ford for burial Sunday.
 Coroner s. A. Herman, who visit ed East Canaan Saturday and inter- viewed Charles H. Sage, only eye witness of the accident, it is claimed, has not yet decided on a date for the inquest. The fatality occurred just west of the spot where a North Adams (Mass.) motoring party came to grief few years ago when their car collided with a tree.

Mule Driver Fined $14.42 in Salisbury

George Plant was arrested by Special Officer Ernest Preston of the Connecticut Humane society on charge of cruelty to animals and taken before Justice Walter Angus in Salisbury, who after conviction imposed fine with costs amounting to $14.42, which the defendant paid. In the testimony given in court it appeared that Plant was driving team of mules hauling logs in the woods near Lakeville. He became vexed because his mules did not do just as he wanted them to and beat them severely with a club. Work men nearby reported the abuse to the owner, William Lamson, who i'm mediately discharged Plant and re- ported the matter to the humane society.
