Poisoning Campaign Postponed.

Because of the continued snow fall,
the rabbit poisoning campaign sched-
uled to take place this week in the
west end OF the county. has been post
poned. As soon as the snow stops
falling, the poison will be put out and
the deep snow will contribute to the
success of thes campaign. says Fred
Bennion, county agriculture agent.
The strychnine. mixed with alfalfa
hay, will form the only green food in
sight and it is expected that the rab.
bits will succumb by hundreds. Yes
terday preparations for the mixing
of the poison were made at Hermiston,
Echo and Columbia, so that all will
be in readiness for the campaign as
soon as weather permits. The sum of
81, 900 has been spent for the poison
and three and half tons of hay win
be used. IA EsES

ENTENTE NOTE MEETS
WITH GERMAN FAVOR

BERLIN, Dec. 10.-The allied notes
demanding Germany's immedite ac-
ceptance of the protocol were received
today. The tone of the notes, ac-
cording to German official circles is
considered conciliatory.
Germany will sign," well-posted
diplomat here today declared when he
heard of the provisions of the notes.
1t is understood that the entente
have agreed to permit postponement
of the delivery of German docks and
marine materials demanded as repa-
ration for the sinking of the interned
German fleet at Scapa Flow, until it
can be determined whether their sur
render would hopelessly cripple Ger
many's industries as the Germans
have contended. The entente. how
ever, refused to change their stand
toward German war prisoners and
holds to their right to invade Germany
if she transgresses any of the rules laid
down by the peace conference and the
armistice.
Notes on the Scapa Flow matter. il
is understood, require Germany TO list
the marine materials demanded, no.
minally delivering them to the allies,
but with the privilege of demanding
their return if the German government
is able to prove that delivery is over
burdensome when the matter is sub
mitted to arbitration. This is regard
ed by the Germans as virtually an ad-
mission that Germany will be allowed
to retain the docks.
Foreign Minister Mueller is expect
ed to present the notes TO the reich
stag for discussion immediately so
that the government may send its in
structions TO Baron Won Lersner, the
German representative in Paris.
