CONTEST IS
THING Of PAST

The election contest for the Office
of Attorney-Ge which has been
occupying the attention OF the SUI
preme Court. special commissioners.
and attorneys for long time past,
has been declared off and is at an
end. A decision recently made that
county clerks must accompany bal
lots to this city probably was the
cause OF discontinuing the contest on
account of the great expense attach
cd TO this plan. 1t will be remember
cd that Attorney Springmeycr was
defeated by Baker at the last cleo
ton by 90 votes and started CON
test on account OF alleged fraud 1t
has been a long drawn-out contest
and an expensive one. 1t will now

MAN FROM THE EAST
SURPRISED At BUSINESS
States That the Printing Trade is in
Bad Way Out Here

Recently a gentleman from ore of
t., Eastern states came to this sec
liuE on mining business. h:ving be
come interested i'll a property south
of here. Before coming west he had
owned and operated quite an extern
sive printing plant which he recently
sold. thinking that probably he would
engage in the same line OF business
in the West, providing he found fair
opening or opportunity.
He spent some days in this city
and in Reno In speaking Of the
prospects with an Appeal representa-
tive he said that he was surprised
at the condition of the printing trade
here: The one thing that impressed
him very greatly in this respect was
the number of people both here and
i'll Reno who had their printing done
outside of the state by big firms who
send agents here for the business.
Naturally, in looking for busi-
ness opening he looked into the pre-
vailng prices charged for ordinary

printing. He declared that on all
standard. printing such as letter heads,
bill heads, envelopes, and in fact all
office and business stationery, the
prices were practically the same both
in Carson and Reno, but they were
Great deal lower than they were in
his home town in the East
The price charged here for this
class of work was almost identical
with his in the East, but eerything
relative to producing this work was a
Great deal cheaper in the East. The
cost of paper was practically at least
one-third less on all lines. power
light fuels. gasoline. oils, freight, etc
where all much cheaper there than
here. In his Eastern office the scale
of wages was SlS per week, while
here it is SIS. The gentleman says
that he had much better opportunity
at home in this business than he
could hope to find here, and that he
would turn his attention to some
other business if he remained in the
west

reached that there had been some

we were told that he would endeavor

this recompenses us for our direct

the strikers on the side Of the hill
opposite the Utah Copper company's
main workings were deserted today
Deputy sheriffs patroled the COM
pany's property today without moles-
tation. No shots were fired, as on
previous days. All the saloons here
are closed and this Sunday has been
more orderly than under ordinary cir
<umstances.
When it became known here to
night that strikebreakers were be-
ing advertised for in Denver and other
cities. union leaders here were of the
opinion that those hired would be
brought to Bingham. They accepted
the news as a fOregone conclusion of
the Utah Copper cOmpany's plans.
MI union leaders agree in their
opinions that an attempt to resume
operations with imported men would
be the signal for general walkout
in the western mining camps, in
which owners of the Utah Copper
company are said to have an inte1 st.
They said they would do all they
could TO prevent violence here, but
they said they could not be respon-
sible for individuals.

SENATE IS GETTING
READY TOACT ON
TREATIES
Amended to Give Senate the
Final Word.
TAFT YIELDS A POINT
II Is Believed that With This Chance
The Treaties will Be Promptly
Ratified.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 10.-The
arbitration treaties are making pro-
gress. An understanding has been
reached with reference to their rati-
icatlon between the opponents in the
Senate, as represented by Senator
Lodge, and the administration, rep
resented by Secretary Knox. Both
men have been in conference over
the situation, and tomorrow Senator
Lodge is to offer in the Senate a
resolution of ratification which has
the consent Of Secretary Knox. In
this, it is declared, Senator Lodge
says that the treaty-making powers
of the Senate are in no wise to be
considered in the least curtailed by
these treaties, and that 1t is express
ed and understood that matters in
dispute between the United States
and Great Britain and France shall
not be sent to arbitration until assent
shall first be given thereto by the
Senate, even though the justiciability
OF the question in dispute shall have
been referred to the proposed high
commission and declared arbitrable
by that body.
Thus the Senate will have the last
word. Senator Lodge said today that
he would have preferred to see ar
ticle of the treaties entirely strick-
en- out, but that he is satisfied with
the resolution he is to offer, and to
which the department of state has
given assent. It has been charged
that the senator has backed down,
but he says he has not It has been
the contention of the state depart
ment that, in the making of special
agreements for arbitration of a dis
puted point, the Senate would have
the last word as to whether the
question was arbitrable. but the sena-
tors have not been satisfied with the
language of this score, and the Lodge
resolution. It is declared, will make
this explicitly definite.

Ministerial Crisis in The French
Government
CLEMENCEAU MAY SUCCEED
Delecasse Filled the Vacancy in the
Foreign Portfolio For a Few
Hours Only.

Paris, Jan. 1.-THE downfall of
the Caillaux cabinet occurred sudden
ly last night. That the ministry
would be overthrown in the Chamber
of Deputies in the next few days was
the general belief, but the announce
ment of the resignation of the minis
try last night caused considerable
surprise. 1t was logically due, how
ever, owing to Premier Caillaux's fail
ure to obtain material to complete a
political combination which was prac-
tically confronted with the certainty
of speedy collapse. The resignation

ter, Justin de Selves, which follow
ed a dramatic scene at a meeting Of
the Senate committee, when NJ de
Selves declined to back up the pre-
mier in his statement regarding re-
cent negotiations between Germany
and France, resulted in immediate
discussions in the cabinet.
Theophile Delcasse, the minister
of marine, accepted the portfolio of
minister of foreign affairs, but NJ
Millerand ex-minister Of public works
Admiral Germinet and Pierre Baud
in, to whom the marine portfolio was
successfully offered in turn, declined
the honor. NJ Millerand said he
would take only the foreign office,
Admiral Germinet pleaded that he
knew nothing about the maze of poll
tics, and Baudin declined ION the
advice of friends"
Finally NJ Delcasse sought the pre-
mier and explained that he agreed to
accept the foreign ministry only on
condition that a parliamentarian of
distinction could be found for the i'm
portant portfolio OF the navy, for the
regeneration OF which he had labor
ed for months. NJ Caillaux thereup-
on accepted the inevitable and went
to the Elysee palace and announced
to President Fallieres his retirement
and that of his colleagues. Later he

he was unable to retain the premier.

HIGH SCHOOL
Young Woman From Shrews-

NO GENERAL EXPOSURE
There Will Be Ordered Vaccination
Of All the Pupils In the Room
With Miss Russell.

Rutland, Jan lot was discover
ed today that Miss Mary Russell,
daughter of Former Senator II. l..
Russell of Shrewsbury, who is stud
ent at the high school here, is suf-
fering from a mild case of smallpox,
the disease having been diagnosed
by DR.. c. S. Cayerly, president Of the
State board of health. Miss Russell
has been suffering from severe head
ache for some days, but she was able
to attend school Monday and Tues
day.
Nothing was thought of the matter
until members of the family wondered
why a slight eruption which appear
ed on her face did not disappear
within a reasonable time. A general
vaccination has been advised at the
high school. Miss Russell lived here
with the family of City Clerk and
Mrs. Harry b. Whittier. No one has
any clew as TO where she contracted
the disease.
