The above announcement will come like a shock to dealers and the public alike, making it as we do in the face of a con- stantly rising market on all lines of merchandise, but there is a reason for everything, and in this instance we figure it good sound business policy toclean up our present large stocks, and merit the good will of our patrons. Including as we do in this sale, every dollar’s worth of mer- chandise in our store, it is impossible to quote prices, or by so doing, give any adequate idea of the real bargains to be had. Therefore we urgently request personal inspection and honest comparison of our offerings, and the result will be ayspéedy clearance of our large stocks. Every Man, Woman, Boy, or Girl can attend this Sale with the utmost confidence for a square deal, as we guarantee a genuine saving on every article sold, and pledge ourselves to stand back of every transaction, by allowing full privilege of exchanges in case of error in purchasing. 3|-d A - Sale The Eagle Clothing Company OUTFITTERS TO-MEN AND WOMEN 152--154 MAIN STREET the men and a part of the ran rlrvn tow "D.

During -the course of recon- JEtruction, many. problems arose which had not suggested themselves at the! time the bridge was turned over to the state because at that time, it was Joccupied by the railroad company and could not be thoroughly studied. Wt expect these different problems will be .solveq-and that the bridge eventually will become an asset to the state. At the time of writing this remort. we «are in a.fair way to realize our hopes in the matter, Niantic River Bridge. The construction of the Niantic river bridge, which was deferred on eccount of the rulings of the war in- dapstries board, was undertaken early year, plans and specifications | and work started and well ;mhv-»» 5 underway at the time of the comple- tion of this report. It ‘Is . expected that the new bridge will be erected ;1;1% in service ‘during the spring of 92 Conclusion. There {is 4§ universal ‘demand throughout' the country at the pres- ent timefor more and better. high- {wavs for use in connection with the operation of motor vehicles both com- mercial and -pleasure. “Thig ~“demand has spréad from the New England states all over the country, and we find the larger states, particularly l”r—nfirx‘vann New York, Illinois and Ohio expending tremendous sums in the construction of higshways. This is frue to a lesser extent of all the states iIn the Union, and has resulted:in en- larged programs of highway work. Connecticut and the othér Southern { New England states are in an envia- | ble position in this connection.: We | have available sources of road mater- ial supply within our borders, and are conveniently located so that this' ma- terial can be shipped to points of con- sumption within ‘comparatively short | periods of time. We have already developed a high- way system which is considerable ex- tent and conveniently . located.. This work will, of course, be continued but must be, as stated above, curtailed: to some extent, on account of increased cost and on account of the shortage of labor. Nevertheless, we.expect to car- ry on the work of the department during the coming fiscal term, extend- ing the highway system- to 'complete unfinishéq gaps and reconstruct' those worn-out or obsolete pavements which T |are now becoming a source of expense to_the state. In reconstructing and extending this system, we must pay attention to the increases in motor truck operation and provide for this gradual increas- ing metnod of transportation by ad- ditional widths and safer alignment. We must also pay attention to restric- tion of this type of traffic within rea- sonable limits, so that excessively heavy trucks may not cause disast- rous damage to certain roads or at certain_seasons -in the year. In this connection, as well as'in oth- er ways, this department is, therefore, in duty bounq to cooperate with the motor vehicle department in the in- vestigation and regulation of traffic. This is being dene with good success. There is a feeling-of cordial.coopera- tion between the two . departments which extends to all the departments of the state with which we come in contact. Mention has been made of neces- sity for increase in widths. Some of our roads at the present-time carry a maximum traffic of 9,000 vehicles pey day, and an average traffic of in ex- cess ‘of 4,000. This accommodation of such a volume’ of traffic. evidently requires the careful consideration of highway widths, surfaces and align- ment. In no case should roads be built less than eighteen feet in width on the main traveled roads. In some instances, widths are made up to twenty-two feet with corresponding extra widths on curves. Investigations are being made of the weights of ve- hicles and their effect on highway surfaces. = Co-operation between this department. and. the. office .of -public roads in Washington also exists, the commissioner being a member of the adviory committee appointed ‘to con- fer with the director ‘of public roads as to the proper operation of *he fed- eral aid road law. NORWICH TOWN ‘Wednesday evening at Backus hos- pital, officials, nurses and patients en- joyed a delightful recital by pupils of Hugh Kinder. The much appreciated programme included several familiar compositions given in chorus as well as Thany solog all of which displayed careful - training. Many compliments were given the young people for their excellent work. Mr. Kinder accom- panied at the piano for his pupils, and also gave pleasure with a number of bezutifully renderde solos, assisted by Miss Hazel Banfield at the piano. Of the twenty or- more present the participants _.included: Misses Lols Manning, Viola Grever, Ruth Bo Charlotte Fowler, Marion' Allen, Haze] Banfleld, Ciper Rosenberg, also George Hollingsworth and Frank Stinke. The pleasant affalr was arranged by Mrs: Rosenberg, who 1is “deeply interested in the welfare of the Backus hospi- tal. The thirty-ninth annual organ reci- tal by Herbert L. Yerrington, organist of the First Congregational church, assisted by Dr. Charles H. Lamb, as soloist, was “heard ‘with great appre- ciation by a_large advance of music lovers, New Year’s afternoon, at 5 0'- clock. Mr. Yerrington's well selected programme opened with Marcia Re- ligioso, Parker. ‘Each number was finely rendered and given with artis- tic interpretation. . Of special interest was the Prelude on Amsterdam, De- marest, and Sketches of the City, Ne- vin, the last wit hits varied and in- spiring melodies. Dr. Lamb, who pos- sesses a fine tenor voiece of good range and quality, gave There Is a Love Embracing AD (Lowell) with clear enunciation. His -voice rose to its fullest in his second number, The Gate of Life, Piccolomini, and _especially appealeq to his hearers. Kach year these recitals are looked forward to with interest. The New Year social of the First Congregational church was attended by more than two hundred, including members, friends and severat of the clergy of Norwich, some of whom were accompanied by their wives. Rev. Alexander M. Abbott, pastor of the -United Congregational church, asked grace, preceding the delicious supper of cold meats, rolls, a variety of cake and coffee. Mrs. Frank E. Sterry and Miss Jennie L, Case were the committee in charge, assisted by Mrs. Woodbury O. Rogers, Mrs. Philip B. Whaley and Mrs. Charles Marsh. Several of the yvoung people connect- ed with the church assisted as wait- ers. During the supper hour the Guile Trio, Miss Lucile Guile, piano, Miss May Gupile and Master George Guile, violins, gave a delightful pro- gramme. George Guile gave the solo, Till We Meet Again. Following the supper the pastor, Rev. Gurdon Franklin Bailey, called upon several for brief addresses. Those who re- sponded with greetings of eloquence ang cordiality to the new pastor and his people were Rev. Dr. Joseph H. Selden, Rev. Charles H. Ricketts. Rev. Alexander H. Abbott. Rey, William J. Crawford and Rev. Charles A. North- rop. 3 former pastor. William H. Geer spoke briefly in behalf of Park church, in absence "of Rev. Samuel II. Howe, D.

PATRICK'S CHURCH The people of St. Patrick’s parish were astir early Thursday morning, recognizing not alone the first day of the new decade, year, ‘quarter .and month, but the feast of the Circum- cision 'of Our Lord. The Christmas decorations remained in place on the altrirs and the vest- ments of the pnes s were of pure ale homie, were . white. Fully lighted. during the 5 o’clock mass, which is affered on holy days for the accommodation of those parishioners who must work, the in- terior beauties of the magnificent church were never more striking: This first lowmass was read by Rev. Peter J. Cuny, a great number of men, women and children receiwving noly communion. At 7 there was a second low mass, said by vles P. Galvin, who required the assistance of Rev. Father Cuny in giving communion, 86 many received the sacrament. 2 The rector, Rev. John H. Broderick sang high mass at 8, a large congre- gation attending this service. Orzan- ist Frank L. Farrell directed the choir, Mrs. Farrell singing the pleasing solos. The offertory was Mr. Farfell's varia- tions on Adeste, Fideles (Come, All Ye Faithful), for centuries the Christmas hymn of the ancient church, a majes- tic melody familiar to every Catholic dier, was the basic melody. Speaking briefly from the altar.steps instead of from the wpulnit, Father { Broderick extended the customary New Year greetings to his peonle be- fore reading the epistle, Titus ii. 11-15, and the gospel, Luke ii. 21, read in all the masses throughout the Catholic world on New Year's day. Father Broderick referred to the large num- ber of persons who had just received holy communion from him, also to the most gratifying number receivine the sacrament at the ‘earlier masses. Their manner of beginning the new receiving the Body of Our Di into their hearts and souls earnest, he said, that thev <olved to follow the admo n of St. Paul as just read in the epistle living, during the year, “soberly, justly and godly,” as.the apostle had coun- seled.

DECLINE IN MINERAL OUTPUT OF ALASKA, Washington, ' Jan. 1.—Alaska’s min- eral output in 1919 was the smallest of v year ‘since 1910, and its value was less than half that of 1716, prelimi- nary estimates of the geological sur- vey made public” today show. The output for tHe year brought only about $18,850,000 as compared with $28,254,000 in 1918 and $48,600.000 1916, The decline was atributed princi- pally to the reverting of the copper industry to normal conditions as’a re sult of the fall in the price of the metal since 1916, -when war de- mand greatly stlmu)aled production. High' operating costs a inj caused a[at $43 depression in gold mining. Eight copper mines were opersted in Alaska in 1919, producing about 44,200,000 pounds valued at $8,600,000. The production in 1918 was 69,225,000 pounds, valued at $17,099,000. The value of the annual output of gold declined@ from $§ 00,000 in" 1916 to $9,000,000 in 1919, 3 Alal still contains large reserves 1(1 gold-bearing gravels that can be mined profitably when transporga- !tion conditions are improved, thé re- port said, adding that “the most im- portant event of the year for the future in mining in laAska was the continuation of the work on the gov= ernment- ra I by congressional action of needed to complete the line.” “Better and ~ cheaper steamboat rvice, ‘on both ocean < nd river, are o ;' the report said. “Moreoyer, the railroad must be sup- plemented by trails and wagon roads.” As a. by-product to gold and cop- per mining, 590,000 ounces of silver ind 500 vrm of leag were mined dur- ing the B The \"ue of the gold mined in Al- ka from the discovery of tlic nre- cious metal in 1880 to 1913 was placed 7,400,000, We offer for today and Saturday, the following sp-cmls' in pure candy and the delicious home-made pastry, for whxch Peterson’s has become so well-known: CANDY Bitter Sweet Peppermints, Ib. . ..
