(By Associated Press.)

New York, Dec. 6.-Hesitation and
constraint made themselves felt in
the stock speculation again today
following the volatile movement OF
Saturday. The explanation of the
market was somewhat obscure. It
was suspected that a process of dis
putation Of stocks under cover might
be going on for account of some OF
the most important financial inter
ests.
That the appearance of the signs
was designedly confused was taken
for granted and the abundant re-
sources that were displayed in the
work Of forming this appearance
made the smaller following habitua]
traders wary in extending their oper-
ations. The dullness into which the
market fell from time to time was
due partly to reduction of the out
standing short interest.
The assembling of congress had its
usual restraining effect on the specu-
lative sentiment.
Bonds we're nrm; total sales par

twos advanced n per cent on call.

Short Meetings in Both House and

(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec. 6.-The two
houses of congress convened today
for the first regular session of the
sixty-frst congress but the days pro-
ceedlngs were in great part of a So
clal nature, and practically no busi-
ness was transacted.
Wanted Night Sessions.
Brief as was the senates thirteen
minute session, it was enlivened by
an unsuccessful effort on the part of
Senator Bailey to defeat the passage
of the usual resolution that the
daily sessions begin at noon, suggest
ing that the senate should convene
instead at O'Clock. Mr.. Bailey said
that he would like to see the senate
hold night sessions that senator's
might devote the day to individual
business. No objection was offered
when similar resolution was intro
duced in the house.
Inform the President.
A Joint committee was named by
both houses to wait upon the pres
ident and inform him that congress
was In session and ready for any bus
mess he might wish to lay before it.
The presidents response will con-
stitute his annual message, the read
ing of which will consume nearly all
of tomorrow's session.
House Session Longer.
The house session continued forty
minutes. W. w. McCreedie, new re-
preventative from the second Wash
ington district, who succeeds the late
Francis Cushman, was sworn in.
Although only 341 members respond
ed to their names, almost full mem
bership appeared on the house floor
and there were few who did not have
one or more bills to offer. These in
cluded one by Representative Garn-
er, Pennsylvania, for an investiga-
toms service, particularly in regard
to the sugar frauds recently brought
to light, one. brought by Hitchcock, I,
Nebraska, for the esta blishment of
postal savings banks; one by Mann.
Illinois, for federal refutation of the
white slave'' traffic; another by Mr.
Mann for the free admission of wood
pulp and one by Representative Ham
iltOn, Michigan, to grant statehood
to New Mexico and Arizona.
Customary Crowds.
There were the customary crowds
in the gallery and the usual scenes
attending the opening of congress
were re-enacted on the floor. The
leaders of the majority and the min
ority were there and conversed amic-
ably, all bitterness engendered over
the tariff fight Of last summer appar-
emily having been forgotten.
Resolutions of Respect for Senator
Johnson
Resolutions of resDect for the mem
ory of Senator Johnson of North Da-

mond and Lassiter, who died in the
recess, were adopted, and as a fur
ther mark of respect the two houses

Emmett Loses to Boise.

The basketball game between the
Emmett Tigers and the Boise Y. M.
c. A. at Boise Tuesday night resulted
in victory for the latter. Score "a
to 21. About 35 rooters accompani-
ed the locals. OF the game the
Statesman says it was the snappiest
and best played game of basketball
ever witnessed there. The play
ing of both teams was superior to
the usual basketball here and showed
experience and practice. In the op-
ening of the first half victory look
ed far off for the locals but in the last
few minutes of play the men came
into themselves and played the game
as they were expected to. The first
half closed with score 16 to 13 in
favor of Boise, In may be said for
the visitors that they played good
basketball and are team any five
men will and difficult to defeat.
Thesyisiting five depended largely on
Critics of center to make most of the
points on free throws, but in this he
utterly failed. The Emmett team
was composed of R. Wells, Davis,

Uniform Time

Why not have an established
time to govern everybody in town?
At present everybody keeps time to
suit himself. The depot has one
time. the sawmill has another
time. and the school has another.
As result, it is next to impossi-
bic to know just what time of day
it is. Let's all get together.
Use the Bell telephone time, which
is corrected every day. Ring the
school bell, blow the mill whistle,
and SET all the clocks by Bell time.

NATATORIUM FINISHED
Hot Springs Resort Open to
the Public.

John Jensen's natatorium OF
Squaw creek, about 10 miles above
Emmett. is completed and is open
to the public.
The water supply comes from
large hot springs that gush forth
from the sides of The butte, and
gives evidence Of being never fail
ing. The temperature of the
springs is boiling point--hot
enough to cook eggs. The main
building is 38 by IS feet, and con
tains swimming pool 20 by so
feet, with varying depth Of three
to eight feet, two private baths
and 18 dressing rooms, besides
nicely furnished waiting room and
an Office.
An analysis of the water shows
that it contains medicinal quail
ties valuable in the treatment of
blood and skin diseases and rheu-
matte troubles, and this fact will
undoubtedly make it famous as
health resort. Plans are also be-
ing made to make it a pleasure re-
sort also. The grounds are to be
beauti6ed, driveways built and
bathing privileges provided at
the river. which is only a short
distance away. 1t is also planned
to construct number of cottages
for the use of patients and pleas
ure seekers, and no expense will
be spared to make this place at
tractive and inviting to both class
es.
