High Prices Paid for Furs.

d. n. Hunt of Montpelier is making
a fur buying trip to Vermont towns.
Mr.. Hunt returned Saturday from a
week s trip through Morrisvillc, Eden,
Barton and other towns i'll the northern
part of the state where he bought a
large quantity of fur which includes IT
fox skins. The price on pelts this fall
is very high. Mr.. Hunt finds it is much
harder to close trade this year than
in his experience of several years buy
ing furs. This is brought about by the
high prices which are frequently shift
ing, and the wide range in quality of the
skins. For instance, an ordinary fox
skin this fall is worth from one to $40
while the other pelts are proportionate-
" as high.

LYNDONVILLE, Dee. Up to the
closing hour of the hunting season
which came at 5 p. m. Tuesday, the to-
tai number of killings reported to the

Titcomb was l 1866. There will probably
be few more sent in from the differ

day or had not been reported by the
local wardens' office before.
The count by counties shows that
Windham leads with the number of
bucks shot, 1911, and Essex county runs
second with 100. The other counties
follow: Addison, 81; Bennington, 1877;
Chittenden, 81; Caledonia, 81; Frank

caused the shift in plans which shifted
the status of the two leading teams of
the East.
Daniel of the New York Sun places
Robertson, tackle of the Dartmouth
freshman team, and Kempton, quarter
back of the Yale freshman team, as the
two leading first year players in the big
colleges. Several men who have
watched the freshmen teams in action,
says Daniel, claim that Robertson
could have displaced any tackle who
participated in the varsity games played
between Yale, Harvard and Princeton
because of his superior ability. Kemp
ton. by the same authorities, is said to
be the best quarterback in the game to,
day excepting Anderson of Colgate.
