The coming winter will be mild
and open,' according to Perley E.
Written of Kennebunk, the recog-
nized leader among York county
weather sharps because of his ac-
curate predictions of the weather
last winter. Mr. Written has already
scored his first point towards the
leading place among the forecasters,
as there are signs that his predic
items have been accurately based and
that cold weather will be very late in
starting and of short duration. 1t is
reported that bears are proving
about in many sections, even within
10 or Il miles of Bangor, manifesting
no haste to retire to their dcns for
the winter, which inclines old settlers
to the belief that cold weather nill
begin late and be of short duration.
There are also many other signs Of
an open winter

'bill got under way today.
As the ten conferees met to work
out a compromise on the more than
1000 amendments adopted by the
Senate il was evident that the first
real test would be on the American
foreign valuation plans.
Both Chairman McCumber. OF the
Senate Finance Committee. and Rep
resentatlve Fordney. father Of the
House measure. declared they would
Not yield on the valuation question.
Other conferees also were extremely
hostile to any suggestion Of a com
promise.
With the split so wide, there was
"a growing sentiment that the biil
would be deadlocked in conference
for five or six weeks. and Congress
iOnal leaders were not so sure that
shen an arrangement satisfactory 10
both bodies would be negotiated at
