OKANOGAN RETURNS.
The Republicans Garry the County by
a Majority of LOO.
from the 0kanogan Nutlook.

From the okanogan outlook.
Complete returns from every precinct
in the county show that the republicans
have carried the election by an average
majority of about 100. The only excep-
tions are in the vote for state senator
and county clerk, where the local issues
involved in the one and the personal
popularity and previous satisfactory
services of the other obliterated party
lines and saved the democracy from
complete defeat. The indications are,
though, that the republicans will elect
the state senator, as their probable ma
jority in the other counties comprising
this district will wipe out the small dem.
ocratic majority in this county.
The democrats still have a fighting
chance for superior Judge, and the finish
will be close one between n. L. Cation
and Wallace Mount, both of Lincoln
county.
Woman suffrage and prohibition are
both buried beneath an avalanche of
nicious doctrines will never be resur-
rected from their political graveyard.
The constitution carries nearly unan-
imously, and Ellensburg receives ma
jority over both Olympia and North
Yakima for state capital of about 200.
The day passed without any noticeable
excitement and was characterized by
NpulNepuo t-OatiiNiii anu iNclnE
ON both sides. There were rumors of
buying, selling and trading generally,
but upon investigation were found to be
without foundation in fact, and were
INDUCED in by few persons who wished
to bring themselves into momentary
prominence. The community have rea-
son to congratulate themselves upon the
orderly manner in which the proceed
ings were conducted and the feeling of
tolerance and fair play which each party
exercised toward the other.
1t has been impossible, up to going to
press, to obtain any reliable information
from outside the county. The county
vote may, however, be taken as fair in
dex to the general result, and there is no
reason to believe that the republicans
will lose the legislature, which has been
the chief bone of contention, as the state
offices were conceded to them. North
and South Dakota and Montana will
also enter the union of states under the
republican banner, but some sanguine
democrats persist in kicking against the
pricks and still claim Montana.
The total vote and majorities for the
various candidates are given below. The
figures are not official, but are the most
accurate that can be obtained, and may
be relied on as far AS they go.

THE MASTER KEY.
An Ingenious Device for Settling DE.
Iinauent Box Rents.

An Ingenious Device Tor settiing De'
Iinquent Box Rents.
Postmaster Warren has received from.
the Corbin Lock Company an ingenious
outfit which promises to eiiectually set
tie the question of the non-paymcnt OF
assortment of box keys and pecul lar
little instrument appropriately called a
master key" BY inserting this key In
the combination OF q lock box and in
serting one of the other keys In the key.
hole the key thus inserted is made to ht
the lock by slight turn of the combina-
ton with the master key. This opera
ton is performed ON boxes for which the
rent is too long overdue, and when the

box rent he hands over his key. ahd H.
given the one which mas been fitted TO
the lock. lfhe allows his box rent to
become delinquent at the end of the next
quarter his key refuses to work again,
the combination having been changed to
fit the key he carried the previous quar-
ter, and this is again handed over to
him in exchange when Inc pays his rent,
The combination can be made to tit at
least twenty different Keys. The new
postofice Is to he fitted throughout.with
these locks and keys. AT present MIR.
Warren only has one case Of boxes sup
piled with them, and whenever anyone
owning one of those boxes is unable TO
open it with his key, he can come pretty
near guessing what Is wrong-the little
master key has been getting In its work
on account of overdue box rent.
On Tuesday next all boxes on which
the rent is overdue will be rented TO
other persons, and Mr.. Warren says
there is likely to be a good chance to
rent box on that day.

Large Number OF Sales.

There is nothing especially new to re
port in the real estate market for tho
past week. The same activity prevails
that has prevailed since the increased
business which always comes with the
fall months began. The demand for all
kinds of property is good, and numerous
inquiries from abroad come TO dealers
by every mail. Never was the feeling of
confidence in the future greatness of
Spokane Falls more pronounced than at
the present time. Hundreds of build.
ings are going up in various parts of the
city, and gradually but surely the
business portionis encroaching upon the
residence portion of the city as natural
result of the almost Unprecedented
growth of the place. Prospective bust

especially good demand. The usual

reported. The market in all kinds of
property is as active as the most EN- :

the modern "buck-board" and wagons of
other oesGriplons now transport their

wheels being put together with single
piece oil iron. Neither nail nor metal tire
was used in its construction, and though
the thing creaked horribly Il answered
its purposes well, and caravans of these
contrivauces carried the half-breods'

in which the Catholic see, and from IL
the parish, obtained the name of st.

principal officers, was applied to
the whole regiment. They had been
lying at Malta and sailed thence TO
Canada. to take part in the war against
the United States. The war of fSl2.15
ended, they went to Red river, surprised
the Northwesters and retook Fort
Douglas. Lord Sclkirk provided for all
the De Meurons who wished to remain,
and many of them settled along the
banks of the Seine, which became known
as German creek in consequence. Being
mostly Roman Catholic, they were the
first settlers among whom the priests,
Father Provenchcr and Dumoulin, took
up their abode on their arrival in 1918.
From the nationality of the De Meurons,
the first Roman Catholic parish formed
in the country was called 81. Boniface,
from Winifred or Boniface, the German
apostle and patron saint. In 1922, how.
