 The open season for trout in this state begins tomorrow. While streams in other parts of the state are reported to be in good condition, the large amount of snow still on the bills will keep the streams of this county too high for good fishing for a number of days The extreme low water of last sum- mer and fall, and the unusually heavy ice, lead many to think that the com ing season will be poor one.

 IN NEW HAVEN
Attorney Prentice Chase Calls For Caucus to Bolt
 BuIkeIey'S Men

New Haven, Oct. T12.-The 'tInsur- gent move which is being organiz- ed by Attorney Prentice w. Chase, covering the Republican fight for the senatorship in the Ninth district, is going on apace. MT. Chase says that he believed the time had come for the Republicans in that district to re- volt against the ''bossisnn of the ma chine" Incidentally he came out very strong, for Mclean for U. s. Senator.
 MT. Chase invites all of his friends who are interested in running an in- dependent candidate for senator from the Ninth senatorial district against Amos Dickerman, who has been gfv- en the party nomination there after a hard fight, to meet him in caucus at the Union League club tonight to name an independent candidate for senator from the Ninth.
 Dickerman is said to be a Bulkeley' man. The outcome of MT Chase's bolt, it is said may help the chances of Attorney w. s. Pardee, who is run ming on the Democratic ticket in this district, but not much importance was attached to it last nght by the rank and file of the Republican politicians in that part of the city
 However, MT. Chase is outlining an active independent campaign in the district, and he says that he will have the support of ex-Senator Butter worth, actively or otherwise, Pere G. Wallrno and other Republicans.

 The dissolution of the national con- vention was expected. In 1883 a, re- union was held in Washington, and more than a thousand veterans assem- bIed there. As they marched through the streets of the capital they made fine showing. They met again in February, 1906, but this time there were scarcely a hundred of the vet erans present, and they were very feeble.
 Frank A. Hardy. Company I, Third Ohio, of Piqua, O., was the oldest man at the convention last week, his age being ninety-two years. Jeremiah Hendron, Company D, Fifth Indiana, of Greenfield, in that State, was the youngest, at Seventy-eigIt years.
 Another interesting figure in the gath ering was J. J. Traub, Fifteenth Indiana Battery, of Indiana polls, who displayed and sounded 9 bugle which he had used in the Mexican war. The other veterans who attended the con vention of the National and Indiana Associations. with their ages. compan- ies, and regiments, were as follows:

UPWARD REVISION OF PAPER SCHEDULE

New York. Oct. 12-Paper importers in this city and throughout the coun- try are round1y protesting to the Tariff Board, now sitting in Washing ton. against the high duties on paper of various low grades under the Payne -Aldrich act
 The importers assert that the act of 1909 increases the tariff OF specified grades of paper from 100 to nearly 200 per cent, all for the benefit of a few mills in this country, whose owners appear to have great influence. One mill owner, who is said to have a monoply of a certain kind of paper, is reported as boasting how he complete ly 'froze out" his European compe- titors.
 One of the protesting importers of this city is the Germania Importing Company, Al Union Square. President Staber of this company sent a letter yesterday to the Tariff Board, coupl- ing with his protest a, comparison be- tween the duty on various kinds of paper under the laws of 1897 and 1909.

Taps have sounded for the National Association of Mexican War Veterans. When it adjourned last week, after it's session at Indianapolis. it was for all time, because the twenty-eight survi- vors7 of the war of sixty-two years ago in attendance, realized that they were too old and feeble to plan to mus ter again for the roll callI of con- vention.
 There are many other veterans who fought with Winfield Scott in the war in. Mexico living in the retirement of their old age in different parts of the country, but only the twenty-eight were able to reach Indianapolis. They were all from Indiana anb the nearby States,- Ohio, Nebraska, Kentucky and Tennessee.

when Gen. Scott rode back to my company and asked me to return to the City of Mexico. Gen. Scott had at the last moment left a book in store near the plaza and needed it badly. I rode back through a bunch of the meanest-looking men I've ever seen, and my heart was in my throat. They had just raised the Mexican flag and were bowling curses on ev- erything American.s I finally pro- cured the book and started back, al- l felt that I would never see New York again. I soon reached the out skirts of the crowd. Here human na- ture overcame calmer judgment, and, bending over in my saddle, I dug in my spurs and ran my horse all the way to the American army

note with a great deal Oh
pleasure that Mr.. VS.. CobD mas
announced himself candidate
for our representative IN the
Senate branch of the nextGener-
al Assembly. | desire to state
that I am we'll acquainted with
Mr.. Cobb and have for several
years noted the wonderful prog
ress made by him along agricul-
tural lines. A few years ago he
assumed the management OF a
farm near Lumber Bridge that
would not have then brought on
the open market more thanS4OOO
which, today, due to his Skill and
common-sense management, will
bring on the market not less than
$40, 900. dare say this price
would not be considered by him.
Not only has he been successful,
but. he having taken the lead,
many others, not only in his
vicinity but throughout the coun-
ty, have profted by following in
his steps. Truly. he has prov
ed himself a farmer with all the
name implies, therefore, knows
the needs Of the great class OF
our citizens. Further, he is en-
lowed with nerve, tact and ablll
ty, and will spare no pains or ex
pense in carrying out plans which
will tend to benefit the farme
and other classes alike.
Nov, l, for one, believing tina
out County can send no one bet
ter qualified in every partlcula
to fill the position to which h
aspires, most heartily endors
his candidacy, and trust that tn
people of the county may see ii
to support him.
