, \Vild Ideas.
At its meeting lest night the Com
non Council plated the city in an
attitude that we believe is going to
involve it to an alarming extent.
Without positive knowledge of what
will be the final outcome of the plane of
the Railroad company, the Council
blunted that there will be inadequate
approaches to the new 'stations, and
considered projects for providing them.
which it carried into effect will double
our debt and our taxes
A wild idea was that contained in the
proposition for the city t ) buy property

railroad corn'any owns all of Railroad
place, and excels to use it ti a
large extent. if not altogether,
for its own purpose, the property pvt:
posed to be purl-heed by the oily for its
continuation Will be inar ~e-: this frotu

‘ that this thou u :Iil‘nre would afford a di

and there is ca .;it..ly no I'HPr'lu why the
city should open 9 thoroughfare parallel

Manna at anything but factor reason,

hills that parallels the Connecticut river
on the east, there is a turban. ranged
country which is essentially abandoned.
Beginning at Eastfurd. the writer spent
three days in walking to the river. Andi
' although there were some pleasant vii-
hgeasud in larger vallestike thatof
the Willimsntle riverfsnug dwellings
and good terms, the greater part of the
distance was through solitudee.nll the
more emphatic since their origin lay in
desertlon and abandonment. There
was nuts mile without its sotnhre old
farmhouse, with the windows gaping
and the roof open. Barns yet stood in
plantslite a cripple on crutches. And
often no stick or stone ot some old-time
home would be. left, and a clump of ll-
llc bushes wuuld alone bear within to
the lite that once has. Young wood
Was upsprtngiug on all the lnits, bid
the roads led tor miles deep through for-
ests of a sappy growth. To meet any
one in the road was a rare occurrence.
Borneo! the inhabitants gave reasons
for the abandonment. At Westford an
old man said: “There used to ban good
class of people in here. They were in-
dustrious and they made moat y. Then
they wanted to make-lite a little easier
for their children than they had found
it, so they moved into the town to give
the children an education -Att-.-r the chil-
dren got that they couldn‘t bc induced to
take up farming; they had to stay in the
towns always. And so the fauna have
lost their old occupants, and no new
ones have come in."
This man also said that he owned a
farm in Westford that he get. at auction
for two hundred and eighty collars. It
had a good house and barn, and com-
prised fifty acres. “But you can buy at
your own figure]; he reiterated. "The
lumber men are active, or have been, in
buying up oldfartns that had any tim-
ber on them. They skin it offend then sell
the farm for anything they can get."
In Union a great deal of lumber is now
being out That is the source of the
town’s prosperity rather than farming
This activity of lumbermen explains the
great area now in young and worthless
wood. some years ago charcoal burning
was carried on through here, but now
that is almost entirely givun up. The
principal marlret failed the burners be-
cause of the introduction of other and
better material to effect the purposes the
charcoal had been used for.
At Eastford there is a man a it. makes
his living by speculating in lumber,
cattle. (arms—anything that. is to be
bought and sold In a little continuity.
He knows- intimately not alone every
farm Wlihiu titty miles. but every ctr-er,
Wery heifer, every breeding now as well.
He, is not ready to admit that the fann-
ing lands were abandon-«l. What he
said wan this:
“I don'tjust know what you mean by
'obundonetl furms.’ There are many
farms through here that no 01'." lives on,
but perhaps you wouldn‘t call them
‘abandoned' for. that reason alone. Most
all those unoccupied farms bring their
owners In some revenue: they either rent
out the pasturage and mowinga or else
rent out the farms themselves. The
larmslook abandoned enough with no
body livtng (to them, and the buildings
decaying. and there are «one I suppose
that really are: no one lives on them and
no one gets any hone-lit from them."
"Butte-II me the reason why no one
lives on these farms. Why are they not
cultivated? Why given over to more
paeturage and mowing?
”Well, the farmers got discouraited. it
is a rugged sort of a country to cultivate.
and it was a long way to a market. and
times kept getting harder and harder for
farmers, till it gotso that pretty nearly
every man who owned a farm in here
owned a debt. He couldn't raise a crop
that would pay for itself. The hired
men were better iixr-d than the farmers.
80, then, if a man had a chance to rent
his form be rented it and never went
back to it to live; and sometimes he just
simply left his farm and went to work
for wages."
He had many incidenis of his exp. ri-
cnce in trading to MI, and he mentioned
pcrbapsa dozen forms within short illl'
lancer that could he bought "at your
own llgure." some of these were now
under his control. lie rented the pee-
turee and had stock on them, or he cut
hay and stored it in the old barns. He
told me one story that indicated the pov-
erty or the adjacent suction. it was
this:
“A while ago I sold a house. barn and
two acres of land to a man for fifty
dollars. It wasnnice, cornlortohie lit-
tle house and a bargain. Well in six
months the man came to me, so sick of
his place that he would stay no longer,
and i bought it back for forty dollars.
with all his household goods thrown in.
Then i had on auction to get rid of these.
The people came in from the surround-
ing farms tease what there was they
wanted. but they had no money in tbelr
pockets. The first thing I put up was
'nuw much am i odered?’
said I, but! didn‘t get an answer. i

And I knocked it down to him at that
figure.
“The next thing was a bureau. and I
got one bushel of potatoes for that And
so it went. There wasn’t any money to
be had-nothing but barter. I brought
the potatoes out and sold them at seven-
ty-flve cents a bushel."
After walking through that section it
was easier to comprehend the tmertion
that there is now more vvild land in Con-
necticut than there was a century ago.
One need not arek far for reasons. If a
man‘s predilection was for farming. the
rich Western prairies offered more induce-
ment than the stony. thin hillsides of
New England; and if he would not farm.
the city was always agape, read y to swa'.
low him alive. It is not unnatural that
Connecticut, with other New England'
and Atlantic states, should have suffered
in its farming population. The country,
in its development: has made peremp
tory demands for brains as well as hand
labor, and the eastern farms have furn-
ished the professions with many of their

The owners of the reserve have taken
