Master Albert D. Carpenter, about
IL or 10 years old, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. D. F. Carpenter, in the township
has given us list of the game killed
by himself in the last few months, to-
gether with the market value of the
same. The boy in the mean time
has attended to his regular duties on
the farm and the hunting was done
only at odd times when nothing else
claimed his attention. The following
is the list:
1886 ducks and chickens at 15c
each -. ...$ 53.lU
10 geese at 75c each ........ 7.5O
8 sandhill cranes at SOC EACH. 1.5O
80 cartridges, rabbits, snipes,
etc., c.oe
Total .....$ 5000
Of the above amount he received
about forty dollars in cash and the
balance was used in the family.
Thursday next is Thanksgiving
Day. There will be services in the
Episcopal church at II a. m. MI.
Stewart will discourse upon the po-
litical prospects Of the country and
the lesson to be derived therefrom.
Changes-The ownership of the
Sank Centre Livery Stable was
changed this week from Kellogg
Chase & Mayo to Wesley & Parker,
the barn and stock having b >en pur-
chased by the new proprietors-
Runaway-On Saturday evening
between daylight and dark, a span Of
horses attached to wagon with no
driver in sight and lines flying, passed
our office going down Third street at
a furious pace. Who they belonged
to, where they started from, or where
they stopped, we did not learn, but
the natural supposition is that they
had been left unhitched by their
master and from some cause became
frightened and ran away, 1t is to be
hoped that no great damage was done
and that it will serve as a warning,
not only to the owner of that par.lcu-
lar team, but to all others to be more
careful about leaving horses un-
hitched in the street.

resentatives of nine western and in.
ter-mountain states were present this
afternoon at the opening OF the con-
vention of the Utah chapter Of the
American Mining congress. to discuss
the ice-fixing of silver by the gov
eminent.
The conference originally was
called to map out a plan of campaign
to bring about a revision of the ex-
cess profits law, which mining men
here today declared to be in favor of
companies with law capitalization.
After this call was sent out, the
question of price-fixing 6f silver arose
and the Utah chapter invited other
states to send representatives. At the
request of mining interests the gov
ernment agreed to postpone action on
fixing the price of silver until after
the conference.
Several mining men who will speak
at the conference declared that while
the present price of silver, which had
declined to between IS and Sc cents
an ounce after it's advance to more
than 81, was considerably above that
which had ruled in the markets for
several years, the increased cost in
production had made the industry

Even newspapers friendly to the
allies see in Lieutenant Colonel Jud-

America inclines to accept the con-

that France and England will be

Petrograd, Dec. 4,--Leon Trotzky,
Bolsheviki foreign minister has taken
the recent note sent by Lieut.. Col.
William V. Judson, chief of the
American military mission to Russia,
to the chief of the general staff at
Petrograd, as an effort to cultivate
friendly relations with the Bolsheviki
government. The note, in which the
American officer said he saw no
reasons why the relations of the al
lies to Russia or to any influential
part of its population should not rest
on the most friendly basis, is COM
mented on favorably by Trotzky in
Maxim Gorky's newspaper, the Novaia
Szinzin.
The friendly relations which Trotz-
ky assumes the note was attempting
to promote, would constitute "splen-
did measure, meeting the comnetit'on

note and the protest made by Major
Kerth, American military attache. to

Germany.
THE allies lost their presence OF
mind" he said This alone would
explain the almost simultaneous ap-
pearance of the two documents, the
letter of Major Kerth to General
Dukhonin and the letter of Lieuten-
ant Colonel Judson, his chief. The
one absolutely conflicts with the
standpoint Of the other.
However, this is not the chief at
fair. Today there came to the Smol-
ny institute (Bolsheviki headduar-
ters) two Americans who have close
relations with the American capitalis-
tic classes, who informed me that the

Quick Action to Follow.


Both branches of congress adjourn
ed after the president closed, the
house until tomorrow and the senate
until Friday. Immediate steps were
taken to translate the presidents war
recommendation into action. The
house foreign relations committee was
summoned to meet tomorrow at p.
m. and the senate foreign affairs COM
mittee on Thursday morning. Chair
man Flood of the house committee
began drafting the Austrian war reso-
luton, which will be similar to that of
April 8 against Germany.
Representative Flood plans to in
troduce the resolution in the house
tomorrow and report it for action late
tomorrow or Thursday.
To save time the senate COMMITTEES
plans to consider the house draft while
it is before the lower body Thursday.
One Possible Obstacle.
The widespread demand for addi-
ton of Turkey and Bulgaria in the
resolution promises to be the only OBJ
stacle in the program of speedy enact
ment, Republicans in both senate and
house committees are planning to urge
such extensions and many democrats
are in sympathy with them. The SEN
ate committee has also before 1t a
resolution introduced early today by
Senator Pittman for Senator King,
proposing war with all of Germany's
allies.
The senate passed the resolution de-
claring a state of war with Germany
by a majority of so to 6, and in the
house the vote was 373 to so. Few
expect so many negative votes this
time and there is little prospect Of
another such debate as that which
preceded action of last April.
La Toilette to Oppose.
There has been no indication, how
ever, of what Is to be expected of the
small group which has opposed the
governments war policies. Senator
La Toilette today did not join in the
demonstrations of approval given the
presidents utterances With folded
arms and contracted brows he sat in

night was prepared to give prompt
response. Passage by the house on
Thursday and by the senate on Friday
Of the necessary resolution was
planned by the leaders, who began
the drafting of the formal document
soon after the president finished
speaking.
Strong sentiment in favor of includ-
ing Turkey and Bulgaria in the new
war declaration, in spite of the presi-
dents counsel, was prevalent, rbut ad-
ministration leaders expected to curb
it by pointing to Mr. Wilson's declara-
ton:

The recommendation for war with
Austria was said to indicate that the
president has at last relinquished hope
that peace might be obtained by alien
ating Austria from her dominating
ally.
1t was learned tonight that in con-
versation with congressional leaders,
before leaving the capitol, the presi-
dent said that the Austrian declara-
ton was advised largely because 1t
might be necessary at any time to
have American soldiers aid Italy.
