STREAM POLLUTION, For years efforts have been made to! piace a check upen the pollution of the ivers and streams of the state and to perfect a plan where it will in time be done away with. Thus far little prog- ress has been made. Commissions have gotten away with their appropriations, have found the necessity for stopping the ng of refuse and poisons into the | d reccommended steps that ken but that is as far as we 1ave gotten, Ce g the amount of od into the rivers it s mot hat fishing has been practl- ted and the owners of oyster their business being gradually | wulned. What is true In Conmecticut Is the same In other states. wat it s a big problem canmot be juestioned. The practice is one that has material long been established and the longer it goes to more difficult and more expen- s going to be to end it. Thus it going to be done the earlier undertaken the less will be the expense Not only are the industries which are located along the rivers and streams di- rectly concerned but so are the cities whose sewage oystems empty therein. The opposition to the checking of the practice bases its chief objection on the tremendous expense that would be In- volved In comparison to the benefits that would be gatned. Nevertheless as each community develops the pollution Is bound to Increass. Some advantage would be gamed ¥ some progress could be T™ade In reducing the practice. Con- ditlons made it advisable for the late general assembly to refuse an appropria- tion of $50,000 for a stream pollution commission but by naming a commission that will serve without pay all efforts in the Interests of purifying the streams will net be abandoned, and considering what has been accomplished m the past 1t seems likely that the unpald commis. wom will produce quite as effective re- sults as those that have been getting Iarge appropriations. MEETING THE SITUATION. ' From the action that was taken in the semate upon the army appropriation BT 1t seems evident that the demands of economy have go gripped the members of that body that they mee the necessity of following the example set by the bouse. The vote was close In the senate but it shows that while there is consid- eration given to the necessity of proper- ly protecting the nation by having an sdequate army the feeling prevafls that the curtaflment advocated will not prove s be a handicap and that the need for | 1ookout 3 I not been mufih&bmm wmedmhub—m where, but In view of all the appeals that are being made for it by adminis- tration leaders there appears to be a big opportunity for further accomplishment before the job can be considered com- pleted. It may be a bit difficult to call an abrupt halt in certain directions but congress cannot fafl to give its atten- tion to meeting the meeds for ecanomy that have been so well presented. REGULATING AVIATION. ‘While conditions have developed which plainly show the need of establ laws regarding the construction of afr- planes in order to serve the ends of safe- ty and to prevent much of the loss of life that can be attributed to unwise construction, it is likewise evident that the time is not so far off when attention must be devoted to the perfection of laws that will govern those who navi- gate the air. Until flying machines were developed I |there was no other thought than that the alr was free. Even with the prog- ress that has been made in aviation there is no reason to regard it otherwise but there have been many ways in which the importance of establishing restric- tions has been. emphasized. It is real- ized that those who go up must come down. If they descend in the places intended for such there is no ‘objection to be raised. The trouble comes when they crash through skylights, puncture roofs,- tear up somebody’'s tobacco or wheat field and endanger the lives of others, as well as menace property. There are cities and states, few in number though at the present time, which have undertaken to restrict the flying machines by fixing their responsi- bility and liabllity under the law. There are cities which have ordered that ma- chines must not fly over it, the idea be- ing to prevent the crashing of a plane where the lives of many people would ‘be endangered, and for their protection countries are restricting the aviators of one country flylng over another without a permit. Laws concerning the navigation of the alp aside from the operation of the machines are bound to come as the num- ber of fllers increases. They will de- velop just the same ag other laws have with amendments and additions as condi- tions change. Realization of the fact that laying out rules for the air is a much different proposition than establish- ing traflic regulations in the streets and makes it certain that there will be many complicated and perplexing problems to deal with. Plainly it is a case where federal action will be necessitated. AVOID THEM FOR SAFETY. Throughout the spring reports have frequently come to the effect that the north Atlantic was filled with icebergs of varying size, and the temperature of this part of the country has been such as to make it easily understood. In view of that situation warnings have been re- peatedly given to shipping to be on the for such danger, resulting in the shifting of courseg to the southward n order to show proper respect for safe- Thus while it does not appear that the British freighter Seapool, which was badly damaged by a collision with a berg 300 miles off Newfoundland, was not ob- serving due’ precautions it is plain that such care was exercised and such w su nt to escape the peril n view it is surprising that more trouble has perjenced from this same ob- struction in the lanes of sea travel, with so many icebergs afloat in that part of the Atlantic. It was a few years ago that the Tt tanfc disaster occurred, but not so long ago that it has been forgotten, or that the lesson of the experience of that ves- sel can be dlsregarded by those who are charged with the safety of lives on the | nigh seas. The escape of the Seapool from a siml- lar fate was probably due to the circum- stances under which the collision took place. Apparently it was headon, result- ing in the crumpling of its bow and a With those hold- into port to test of its bulkheads. ing the vessel tell is creeping its experiences and to serve as an increased warning to others that the ice- berg peril is a real one and that safety lies in giving it a wide berth.

EDITORIAL Spain has NOTES. launched a submarine. There's a country that ought to be in- cluded in naval disarmameént. From the number of icebergs reported by vessels the wonder is that only one has been damaged through collisions. The increase in business attributed to the cut in the price of automobiles ought to make its appeal to other lines of in- dustry, The man on the corner says: about posterity. Those who haven't bought autos are figuring out how much they have saved by not having the money to buy when prices wers way up.

DUnless the American polo players car- ry off the honors it will begin to look as if we would have to produce hetter sportsmen if We expect So Win from Bu- rope. It is only a few weeks since Norwich had a clean up campaign and yet there are those who are insisting that new eyesores ought to be created and are outting down the federal expenses war- rhuin the rednction. The actlon of the senate does not lexye that body and the house so far spart considering the size of the appro- pristion.

She shook her head, *“I really don't need another hat.” “That's something,” he offered. “What did you say?” she asked. “Nothing,” he said reaching for the dressing. “What did you buy?* “Guess!” ordered the bobbed haired bride. “How ean I guess when I don’t know what you spent?” he countered with an attempt at gayety hat he did not feel” “Well, it wasn't much at all, consid- ering what I got.

Good heavens, you didn’t buy any of those beastly hosettes, did you, Beth?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Hillside on Laurel Hill Mr. Editor: After reading Uncle Jed's Talk to the Wide-Awalkes in Thursday's { Bulletin, it gives mé courage to write you a few lines regarding the condition of the side hill on Laurel Hill avenue, which I have noticed for some time has been used as a dumping ground for all sorts of refuse, especially grass cut from lawns, { which is just thrown over the fence, and very soon dries up, and is very unsightly.

Nerwich, June 9, 1921 ODD INCIDENTS J HISTORY IN AMERICAN GOLD DISCOVERY IN CALIFORNIA.| { | On the afternoon of Monday, January! 123, vhile John W. Marshall, of | I~ was walking in the tail- {race in the small valley Coloma, Cali- fornia, he saw, on its rotten granite bed- | rock some yellow particles and picked | up some of them. The largest was about | the size of a grain of wheat It was! |the first discovery of gold in California. In the summer of 1847 the American | residents of California, numbering pger- thaps 2,000, and mostly established near San Francisco Bay, looked forward with hope and confidence to the future. Their government held secure possession of the| whoie territory and had announced its purpose to hold it permanently. It so happened that at this time one of the leading representatives of Ameri- can interests in California was John A. Sutter, of Swiss parentage, a German by the place of his birth in Baden, an American by residence and naturalization in Missouri and a Mexican by subse-| |quent residence and naturalization in | iCalifornia. In 1839 he had settled at| the junction of the Sacramento and American rivers, near the site of tha present city of Sacramento. His ranci | became known as Sutter's Fort In the| summer of 1847 he planned the building | of a flour mill, and partly to get lum- ber for it he determined t6 build a saw | mill also. Since there was no good timber in the | valley the saw mill must be in the moun- tains. This site was selected by Mar-| shall, named above as the discoverer of the gold. Marshall was a skilled wheel- wright by occupation, industrious, hon- est, generous, but cranky, full of wild | fancies and defective in some kinds of business sense. The mill was erected | 1500 feet above the level of the sea and forty-five miles from Sutter's Fort, from which it was accessible for wagon with- out expense of road-making. When Marshall discovered the small| gTains of bright metal and took them to the mill little attention was paid to his| story, and, in fact, it Was regarded as a proper subject for ridicule. Marshall hammered his new metal and found it malleable. He put it into the kitchen fire and observed that it did not readily melt or become discolored. He compared its color with gold coin, and the more he !examined it the more he was convinced that it was gold. He soon found an opportunity to show his discovery to Sutter, who tested the metal with acld, and by careful weigh- ing satisfied himself that Marshall's con. clusion wag correct. In the spring of 1848 San Francisco, a village of about 700 inhabitants, had two newspapers, he Californian and the California Star, both weeklies. The first printed mention of the gold discovery was a short para- graph in the former, under date of the 15th of March, stating that a gold mine had been diseovered at Sutter's Mill, and before the middle of June the whole ter- ritory resounded with the cry of “gold.” Nearly the men hurried off to the ‘mines. orkshops, stores, dwellings, ‘wives, and even ripe fields of grain, were left for a time to take care of them- |eshes. The reports of the discovery | Which began to reach the Atlantic states late in 1848 commanded MNttls credence there before January, but the news of the arrival of largze amounts of gold at Mazatlan, Valparaiso, Panama and New York, in the latter part of the winti iput an end to all doubt, and in the epring | there was such a rush of peaceful mi- gration as the world had never seen. In 1849 more than 25000 immigrants went by land and 23,000 by sea from the region east of the Rocky Mountains, and by sea perhaps 40,000 from other parts of the world. The gold yield of 1848 was estimated at $5,000,000, that of 1849 at $23,000,000, that of 1850 at | man, t H IMPORTERS $50,000,000, that of 1853 at $65,000,000. This was the top notch, and since then the decline of California gold has been steady until the yield per annum is not more than $10,000,000, But the Califor- nian gold mineg in the last sixty-six years have yielded enormous fortunes to many people.
