the _street should be uniformly forty

tion was granted.
Mayor Glover asked Mr. Barbee how
far back from the sidewalk the com-
pany intended to erect the building.
Eighteen inches. Mr. Barbee said.
Councilman Meeker asked if the bull-
dings could not be moved further back.
Mr. Darbee replied that the character
of the ground would not permit it, as
it was filled ground.
Mayor Glover said he had several
protests from residents of Harbor ave-
nue concerning the erection of these
buildings. He understood the compa-
ny intended to shovel its cool across
the walk into a wooden building or
coal bin.
Mr. Darbee replied that the coal
would be driven into me building and

Descriptions of the Country
Congressman E. .I.‘Hill addressed a
large gathering of members of the Nora
walk and South Norwaik Clubs. last
evening, in the parlors of the Norwalk
Club, on his recent trip through the
South, West and lip into --laska.
Congressman Hill;said his trip ex-
tended over twenty-nine states and ter-
ritories. He expressed surprise at the
great changes in the country, especially
over that portion which he had travers-
ed four years ago. {in those days the
railroads were congested with empty
cars; new traffic was blacked with an
enormous amount of freight. The sum-
mer resorts were crowded. and the evi-
dent prosperity was a matter of com-
ment. At Spokane and Seattle there
was more business than could be prop-
erly attended to. Through the South-
crn states the changes were wonderful.
Mills had been built, besides plants for
the manufacture of warm cottons; cot-
tages had been erected for the help.
and the labor conditions vastly im-
proved. Describing his trip over miles
of white sand to Yuma City, the con-
grcssman referred to it as a monument
to American enterprise, surrounded by
miles of desert and a practical prison,
for no man could leave except by rail.
Loa Angeles, Mr. Hill said. was a
Wonderful city of ‘two hunderd thous-
and people, surrounded by wonderful-
ly fertile agricultural country, made
productive by irrigation, and without
which it would become a wilderness.
h‘rom Los Angeles the trip to the kos-
emitc‘ Valley was made by stage coach
for a distance of seventy miles. an!
party stopped for a short time to in-
spect the big trees and to admire the
beautiful scenery‘witli which this sec.
tion of the country abounds. The dia-
meters oftJieec giants of the forest are
from ten to thirty-one feet. it is one
hundred and twenty-five feet to the
first limb of the. largest tree, and tuis
limb is six feet in diameter. Accord-
ing to a California yarn these trees are
so tail that it takes two men to ace
to the top. These trees are now pre-
served by the government and number
over two hundred.
The trip was made by stage coach In
preference to train, as it gave the tour-
ists a much better chance to see the
country. The driver was good com-
pany, Mr. Hill said, and swapped some
snake stories with him, but the driver
won the honors by telling a yarn about
a big rattler that he encountered once
in making the trip. According to the
driver the snake struck at the off-side
horse and missed it, biting the wagon
tongue instead.
venomous that the wagon tongue com~
menccd to swell and finally crowded
the near horse over into the canon. it
kept on swelling until it assumed such
proportions that its owner started a
wood yard and supplied the whole val~
lay with wood for the next season. in
telling the yarn the driver never once
changed countenance. and to all up-
pearancemwaa telling the truth.
The congressman gave a brief des-
cription of San Francisco and his trip
through Chinatown. From there the
party proceeded up the Columbia river.
and a realistic account of salmon fish-
ing was given, Portland, Oregon. Mr.
iiill said was like a New England city.
it is to have a great future, and already
r-njoys a large trade Wlth the Orient.
The congressman also described a trip
up the Columbia river. the beauty of
which exceeds the Rhine, Danube or
our own Hudson. He then told of the t
beauties of Yellowstone National Park ‘
and its mineral treasures.
in describing Alaska, Congressman
Hill said it was a country one hundred
and seven times the size of Connecti-
cut and was [worth a million times as
much as Cuba. Porto Rico and the Phil-
ippines combined. The government
had done nothing for this territory;
there was no government or law it was
simply under military control and pub-
lic sentiment was the only restraint.
Ownership of land is unknown. The
people are all squatters and can only
give cult claim deeds. Business is
prosperous and there are fine stores.
A noticeable fact is the way the peo-
ple uphold the Sabbath and maintain
their churches and schools. he moun-
tains and ocean combined make the
grandest scenery on earth. He also
spoke of the intense heat' in summer.
as somethingmurprillng for‘that lati-
tudc. 0n the southwest coast the
country would be wonderfully fertile
if developed and because of the contin-
uous day things would grow continual-
ly. The climate there does not vary
as much as here because of the warm
Japanese current. It is hard to raise
chickens, because they do not know;
when to roost, and conseuuently die
for want of sleep.
By way of comparison, Mr. Hill told
of the lighthousessnd buoys main-
