ducing a republic in Germany"
Bethmann-Holweg in his speech in

offer to Russia, saying that if Russia

the passionate interest of the people

If possible with details. They were
every day depanded from me. To
force me to speak, an attempt was
made to construe my silence regarding
the program of war aims of individual
parties as agreement. Against that /

Of war aims l had expressly declared
that the government could not and
would not participate in the conflict

One of the older travelling men who
visit this city gave a very interest
ing account of railroad conditions here
as they were so years ago. He was
talking to several acquaintance in the
store of Beane & Cross on Friday af
ternoon, and his story was occaSioned
by some member of the party calling
attention to a freight train of so or 60
cars which was passing. I'VE used to
think that II cars was a long train SO
years ago." he said. THE old Reuel
Williams used to haul about that num-
Der, and she was wood-burner, as
they all were at that time. They were
all trimmed with brass, and each had
its name painted on the side of the cab.
L remember that a relative of mine
once hired a lot of French Canadians to
cut wood for the Portland & Kenne
Der, at 60 cents cord" The party
agreed that times, and prices, had
changed considerably since those days.

Chief Warden Bertrand Smith and
Tom Leavitt, who has done a lot Of
guiding in the vicinity Of Belgrade
Lakes and other parts Of Maine, have
travelled together considerably, and
have developed signalling code which
is rather startling to other woodsmen
when heard in the midst of busy
city. Both Warden Smith and Mr..
Leavitt have learned to initiate per-
fectly the hunting call of the horned
owl, commonly called the 'cat owl"
and they use it to attract each others
attention when passing on the street.
And when man who has travelled in
the big woods hears that "Hoo-Hoo-
Whoo Hoo 90" right in the middle of
town, it certainly does sound out of
place. Warden Smith states that Mr..
Leavitt can also initiate the calls Of a
large number of other birds and ami
mails SO well that 1t is difficult to dis
tinguish between the real and the imi-
tation.

Big SPRINGS NOW
INCORPORATED

At a meeting held by the county
commissioners of Duel county, Nebr.,
held on Tuesday, May 18th, the town
of Big Springs was duly Incorporated
as far as the power of the county
board extends. A petition had been
filed several weeks ago, asking that
the county commissioners of that
county appoint trustees for the in
corporation and the matter was laid
over until last weeks meeting, when
the commissioners acted upon it. The
trustees appointed for the newly in,
corporated village are: A. Kjeldgaard,
Otto Nelson. VIM. Mack, August
Gherke and j. R. HOlcombe. There
was but little protest against the in
corporation and that we understand.
was for some land laying on the out
skirts of the town. We commend the
enterprise being shown by our neigh
bors to the east in this progressive
step.
