A rabbit drive was held in the
Sam Hunt neighborhood near
Kuna last Thursday, and about
700were killed. Another drive
was held this Wednesday west of
Kuna, and another is scheduled
for to-day, working south of Kuna
in the morning and north in the
afternoon. The rabbits promise to
be unusually troublesome this year
to the ranchers as they have ap-
peared in large umbers.
The new express rate, lowered
on account of the parcels post en-
croachment on the company s
business, is welcome innovation
to Meridian business men. AS an
example the Times received ex-
press this week from Salt Lake
billed at $3.10 per 100 lbs. against
$4.75 formerly. This is less than
parcel post rate, but for a short
distance, say within 100 miles, the
parcel post charge is less.

Munyan, defn- ocrat. was elected over Dyer S- Elliott republican. by g vote of 222 to 121. The outcome of the election was very much of q surprise to many people in Thompson and surrounding towns.

 North GrosVenordaIe-Mu 112, Elliott 95.
 Thompson town district-Munyan 13S. Elliott 2.
 II was stated Thursday night that the overwhelming majority for Mum van in the Thompson town disctrict was due to the fact that nearly all of tte voters there. regardless of party utilization. voted for the democratic candidate because they did not wish the probate office removed from that section of the town and to the Gros- venordaie section. 2 S they figured it ryroha bly, would have been had MT FL liatt been elected. The town clerk s office has already been lost to Thomp- son town section. Previous to the election of Thursday political wise acres predicted 1fr.

 be done with the old Natchaug school
 building, was held in the town hall
 Thursday evening and was called to
 order by Town Clerk Frank P. Fen
 ton at s o'clock
 Charles A Capen was chosen mod
 orator of the meeting by unanimous
 vote. The warning was read by the 1 town clerk
 Attorney T. J. Kelley at the request
 of the selectmen read and explained
 a statement prepared by Town Clerk
 Fenton, showing the estimated ex-
 penses and receipts of the town for
 the ensuing year The estimates
 showed that the town might expect
 about $4S,280 as a total of its re-
 ceipts. The estimated expenses in
 cluded: School appropriation, S55, ,000:
 seleetmen's orders. s43,000; new
 bridge, $6,000: interest on bonds. S15,- 075 sinking fund, s5,0e0; state tax,
 s1,000; total S13s,076.
 This left a balance of $94,795 to be
 raised. MT. Kelley showed that a tax
 of mills could raise about s70,00o, 6 mills s85,000 1-2 mills $92 ,000, ' mills $99.3o0
 MT. Kelley gave a synopsis of the present indebtedness of the town, debtedness, s15o,60o for the new schools and s42, ,006 floating indebted ness, making a total of s472, ,060 George F. Taylor moved that Q six 1 mill tax be laid and specific tax of one mill be laid to meet the coming state tax. He stated that he made the motion as he did not wish the pre- cedent of a seven mill tax for if once laid it would never be lowered. Attorney P J. Banahey amended the motion to make the tax six mills, making a plea for eConomy Town Clerk Fenton stated that the greater bulk of the indebtedness came about through direct vote of the elect ors in town meeting. Having direct ed their officials to spend the money It must be raised by tax. E. Randall asked how many taxpay CTS had knowledge that $14,000 had been paid to the state. MT. Fenton re- ] piled that every paper in the state l published the facts of that tax. 1 Moderator Capen stated that he would rule that the original motion l which called for the higher tax, should i be voted upon first

was no question but that it must be taken from its present position: it could not be moved to any other To- cation: the boilers were no good and it was doubtful if it could be moved at all, and the cost would be consid erable if it could be done
 ". c. Norris offered an amendment which was accepted and carried. The motion as amended read that the se- lectmen be empowered to dispose of the building to the best advantage of the town and that it be moved from its present location before July 20, 1914

TELEeRAPHs FROM ST. LOUIS.
Absent Physical Director Willing to Return to Y. M. c. A.-Board Does Not Invite Him.

Physical Director H. c. Mclaughlin will not return to the Y. NJ. c. A. This is the latest development in the local situation. A special meeting of the board of directors had been called for Thursday. Some of MT. McLaugh- lin's friends knew of this and got in communication with him. The result was a wire to the board sent by Mir. Mclaughlin from St. Louis Thursday morning asking them to telegraph him if they desired him to return. The board. however, decided to decline and a notice to that effect has been sent to the former physical director. Sec retary Doolittle will take charge of the classes until the end of this season and assistants will be appointed to look after the desk during his absence on the floor. MT. Doolittle will be at home in the work for he had charge of the gym work for 12 years before MT. Mclaughlin came to the city. It is particularly unfortunate that MT, Mclaughlin has left the local instf- tuition as he was a prime favorite with the gyrnnasts and arrangements were in the making which would have re- moved the reasons which led to his absence.
