There is at present about 800 tons of provisions shipped from Lawson to the mouth q the Donjek river to be taken into the Chisana country as soon as snow comes for winter travel. About sixty per cen. of the entire shipment Is or ;slnallv American and there fore un-dutiable. df the bal ence about half will probably be on the free list when the rev tariff schedule goes into effect.

About

Close on the heels of the announce
ment of Tax Collector B. F. Cooney
that he viii not be candidate for re-
election comes a. story that the friends
of former collector, Charles G-ott-
hardt, have begun a drive to secure
the nomination for him. At a meet
ing of one of the German societies last
night it was suggested that the Ger
mans ought to have representation on
the Republican ticket and that Mr..
Gotthardt was entitled to the place.
Tonight the Republican primaries
will be held and consequently there
is much speculation as to the person
mel of Mayor Wilson'S running mates,
for the machine has definitely settled
that Mayor Wilson is to have a re-
nomination.
Friends of Howard F. Smith, the
present assistant tax collector want
him to have the nomination for col
lector and at this writing the chances
are that he will be the candidate.
For the nomination for city clerk
two men have been suggested, both of
are prominently identified with the
newly organized club there.
They are James A. Turner, vice
president Of the club, and Frank w.
Roraback, the Republican assistant
registrar OF voters in the district.
.
bring about an arrangement whereby
Mr.. Turner will accept the nominal
ton and agree to appoint Mr.. Rora-
back his assistant in the event Of his
election.
Frank a. Bogart,s friends are also
urging him for the nomination. Two
years ago Mr. Bogart had sixteen del
eEates pledged to him but before the
convention met some of his friends
asked him to withdraw his name in
favor of Howard T.. Mitchell, promis-
| ing that he should have the nominal
ton this time If Mr.. Mitchell was I'M
successful. Only a few of the dele
/ gates who were in the convention two
years ago will be in the convention
this year and Mr.. ATitche1l's name is
not even being considered, although
/ his contribution to the campaign fund
er than those of any Individual can
didate,
Although J. A. H.. Robinson will not
say that he is or is not a candidate
for the nomination for town clerk,
there is understood to be considerable
opposition to his candidacy.
Some of the delegates from the East
| Side think that East Bridgeport
should be represented on the ticket
and they may have a candidate for
the nomination for either city or town
| clerk.

Mr.. Poland is superintendent of Jen-

It is pretty wen understood by the
delegates that in the event of Re
