COUNTY CLERK.
Constitution-For, 1892; against,
1447
Capital Location-North Yakima, G83;
Ellensburg, 1899; Olympia, 1922.
Pullman polled 223 votes, 139 of
which were republican and 50 democrat
ic and for straight votes for the state
ticket it probably leads all other pre-
cincts in the county.
Uniontown is still the democratic
stronghold, casting 1919 democratic votes
to % republican votes.
Clinton is the banner republican pre-
cinct, its vote standing 46 to 4.
1t is possible that the precincts yet
to be heard from will give Ballaine
majority, and thereby give the repubi-
cans a clean sweep,
STATE NOTES.
The state is republican by 1900
majority.
Prohibition and woman suffrage are
both showed under.
fourths of the new state legis-
lature viii be republican.
The constitution was adopted by
about $4,000 majority.
Olympia will have a plurality over
any one OF the cities competing for the
location Of the state capital, and possibly
a majority over all.
Spokane, Clarke, King, Walla Walla,
Pierce, Thurston, Asotin and Garfield
counties gave good republican MAORI
titles.
FROM THE OTHER NEW STATES.
In Montana the democrats concede
the election Of Carter to congress. The
democrats claim the legislature by a
small majority. The republicans have
elected majority of the minor state
officers. The democrats will probably
have majority of nine in joint ballot in
the Legislature. Both parties claim TIE
election Of governor, but Toole, dem,
has the lead. The returns from Mon
tana are very incomplete, and majorities
are only estimated.
The two Dakotas are, as was ex-
pected, republican. In South Dakota
the election was turned into degrading
fight for state capital; in this Pierre
seems to have won. Mellette, rep, is
elected governor Of S. D. by over 10000
majority. The fate of prohibition hangs
in the balance; in fair fight it would
doubtless have carried, but it was traded
for the capital. In North Dakota the
total vote is only about $4,000. Prohi-
bition is defeated by about 1000. Mil
Ter, rep, is elected by SIP majority.
Ralph Bull is a recent and valuable
acquisition to the working force at the
O. R. 6 N. depot.
-Pasco Headlight: One hundred
years hence the mighty Columbia river
will be free from distractions and ele-
giant steamboats, running from Astoria
"a city of 100000 inhabitants into
the northern portion of British Column
bia, a distance of over fifteen hundred
miles; Snake river will have been made
navigable for over one thousand miles;
the ninety-seven miles of Franklin coun-
ty bordering on these two great streams
will be lined with wharves, saw mills and
manufactures; every foot of land in our
county will be under a high state of
cultivation, and contain population of
over 100000 souls; Pasco will be the
terminal Of over fifty different lines Of
railroad.
An exchange says: "Why do not
our farmers use printed letter heads in
their correspondence" is one for
which there is no sufficient answer. The
cost of 500 or 1000 letter-heads is not
more than the retail price of the blank
paper, and letter headed by the name,
and business address of the writer is an
entirely better form, and more attractive
in appearance, and more likely to COM
mand the immediate attention of the
person who receives it than one written
upon a blank sheet of paper. OF even
more Importance than this is the fact
that no mistake can possibly occur in
the address of a reply written on a
properly printed blank. For this reason
every farmer. mechanic and business
man should provide himself with print
ed letter heads for use in correspondence.
