don now, declaring the allies will
terminate tie armistice Immediate
ly unless the porte makes conclla
tory moves forthwith, was banded to
the Turkish envoys today. - Servian
Envoy Novakovitch delivered the note
to iReschld Pasha. The Turks are ex
pected to ask for time to consult with
Constantinople over the latest devel
opment in the struggle and diplo
mats regard the attitude of the Balk
ans toward the Turks ns a bluff. It
is believed neither aide is really In
favor of resuming war.

Turku Awaiting llamll Forres
Young Turks and their leaders are
anxiously awaiting the predicted
coming to Constantinople of the 4th
army corps from TchataIJa forts to
restore the recent ministry, headed
by Kalmil Pasha, although Enver,,
Bey, the newly created leader, scouts
the report. The news is generally
credited in foreign circles, however.
The Bulgarian plenipotentiaries1
' gave a farewell luncheon to the other
Balkan envoys today. 1 Earl Grey has
stated foreign ambassadors will try
to pursuade the envoys not to leave
London.
Dispatches from Constantinople say
the Turkish reply to the powers will
be delivered tonight or early tomor
row. It will propose an entirely new
new basis for peace negotiations.

MORE GAME RESERVES.
SnmmervlUe Dlsitlct to Be Included
In Protected Areas.
C. B. Oral went to Summervllla
'this morning to create another game
reserve. This means that the farms
that will be taken In the reserve will
be closed to all hunting for the per
iod of five years. The farmer will
have to sign an agreement not to
allow hunting of game birds or other
animals on his farm save -predatory
animals, such as mink, lynxes, coy
otes and animals that are destructive
of game. And even. In this case per
mission must be had of the owner of
the farm.
The farms that will be' Included in
the Summervllle reserve .are those
those of Mr. Choate, T. T. Glenn, C,
F. Oswald, Messrs. Murchison, Parks'
and Brooks. j
In speaking ot Illegal hunting Mr.
Oral had this to say of breaches of
the game law on the south side of
the Island City road: "Several parties
have been hunting In that section and
especially after dark. The parties
are known to me and we will be after
them until they stop the practice or
!ay themselves bare to the law. I
Intend to put a stop to this disregard
Tor the law and any violator of the
law will get the limit regardless of
personi or standing. It la inconsist
ent to spend a great deal of money
for the preservation of these birds
and allow men to shoot them as fast
as they are big enough to fly. U
there Is no other corrective for the
bad habtt they may try a round with
the authorities. You may say for
me that I waa on their trail a few
nights ago and but for the approach
ing night would have landed the three
of them. I am as foxy as they are
and will get them If they think they
can outwit me In the game. And
what Is more, they will be mighty
expensive birds for these gentle
men." Collision Caases Deaths.

Washington, Jan. 29. Predicting
the enactment of banking reform leg
islation by ' a fipeclal session of the
new congress along Democratic lines
Senator NewJanda of Nevada haa an
nounced his intention of seeking the
adoption of a scheme to reserve as
sociations in several states to te fed
erated nationally and whose opera
tion are to bring about practical
guarantee of deposits.
"I believe the Democratic Insist
ence upon the sU-te as a unit In this
legislation is the correct one. While
Aldricb's plan, of reserve associations
In America would divide the country
regardless of state lines, into sixteen
zones. -and It would virtually create a
central bank' and my plan would
unite the reserve associations of all
national and state banks within the
state that were doiag interstate busi
ness. Such banks would inevitably
come to protect one another by mu
tual guarantee of deposits."
Huge Coal Chute, Newest
In Type, Now Completed
In about a week's time the old coal
shtite will have done Its last service
for the 0. W. R: & X. company. Its
work will then be done by the new
device for elevating coal for the en
gines. A gang of men is laying
the track that leads into the chute
and in the course of two or three
days that will be finished. The com
pany will then boast one of the most
modern and economical devices to
handle coal known to the. railrond
business.
Owing to the fact that all of the
coal will be hoisted and placed lu
the bins by automatic machinery at
about one-ninth the cost of the old
system It will mean not only a great
saving over the old method l.ut will
he much more rapid and efficient.
The cost of operating the old chutes
has been In the neighborhood of $90
a day and the new device will do
more work for about $10 a day. Four
engines will be able to get coal nt
one and the same time and in a few
minutes.
Theoperatlon will be about as fol
lows: When the cars containing the
coal have been switched on the track
of the elevator they will be drawn
Into position by the engine that runB
the hoisting machinery. Once In po
sition the coal Is emptied from hop
per bottom cars Into the pit below
the track. This pit converges at the
bottom and leads the coal to the
elevator shaft. When the machinery
Is working, the buckets carrying a
ton and a half load themselves and
are then hoisted to bins above where
they unload themselves automatical
ly. Wlitle one of the bucket 1 un
loading the other Is 1n the 22 feet

manner the entire work Is done with

Another feature of the new chute Is
the device for drying and hoisting
sand. Adjoining the elevator is a
large bin for the storage of sand. As
needed this sand Is sent through
dryer and elevated by compressed air
pressure to a bin In the upper part
of the chute. A two Inch pipe lead
