porters took over 500 pages of shorthand
notes of the expert testimony.
ID. Frenett, the mining expert. continued
his testimony, commenced the day before,
and Charles H. Kisler and @. M. Topliff
were also examined.
On Monday DR.. Everett. the well-known
assayist. formerly connected with the
Smithsonian Institution, will give testi-

TACOMA, July 2-Attorney-G General
Jones arrived here this evening from Seat

state in the mineral land contest cases of
John G. Mcbride. Mr.. Jones admitted to
the PosT-INTELLreEScER correspondent
that there is a possibility of Mcbride win.

County Commissioner Johns spent today
investigating the placer claims on the Sec
ton being assisted by several experienced
miners. They were protected in their
work by six armed deputy sheriffs, the men
being afraid of violence from the placer claim
owners. Commissioner Johns believes that
the claims bear evidence OF having been
salted. The case is attracting widespread
interest here. Last fall the entire section
was plastered with claims, just after the al
legged discovery OF gold in a gulch running
through it. Many prominent citizens were
among the claim owners. Many of the
claims were subsequently given up, but a
majority of them have been transferred to
Mcbride

REcAr1TULATroN.

The Chamber of Commerce canvass will
be completed on Monday and the lists
made up, revised and handed over to Mr..
Prosch. Within day or two later the re-
count will be completed in the three dis
tricts by the official enumerators. 1t will
then remain for Mr.. Prosch to investigate
the Chamber of Commerce lists and send
them and his recount of three districts to
Washington for comparison with the orig
inal count. With these he will also send
the lists he has made of persons who have
called to give their names. of whom there
are about 800.
Supervisor Jenkins yesterday investi-
gated the count in Duwamish, precinct,
which includes South and West Seattle,
and found that 1t was very incomplete.
He has telegraphed to Washington City,
recommending recount, as the returns
have already gone in.
George Il. Peters, the enumerator of this
district, was a very inefficient man and
was only appointed because no better could
be found. 1t is claimed that while he was
supposed to be engaged at his work he lay
at the White house for week in a helpless
state of intoxication and was arrested and
fined for vagrancy. He is. however, an old
hand at the census business, having been
an enumerator in 1880.
In regard to the complaints of the bad
showing made at Centralis. Mr.. Jenkins
said: II asked the Centralia people to
furnish me with a statement of their pro-
posed new boundaries. so that could tab
ulate the returns from there separately and
give the town credit for them. They failed
TO comply with my request and are them
selves to blame for appearing to have a
small population. However, the people at
headquarters will tabulate the returns from
these outside districts separately, SO that
the town can get credit for them, If they
should be annexed"
Mr.. Jenkins leaves this morning for
Falls City to investigate the charge that no
census has been taken in that district. He
says the enumerator he appointed is a
brother of Senator Guilfoil and has been at
work. as he sent daily report cards. but his
schedules have not been received. A spec
ial telegram to the observation-disclosures
from Washington City saws:
The census Office il counting the returns at
the rate oil 100000 daily. and expect to finish
the full count cary in August

The Washington Alpine Club held a
meeting at the Chamber OF Commerce last

said that he was going to vote a split ticket
tomorrow. He would vote for r. r. Shep-

any direct charges.

the certificate registered with the county

promised to return it after 1t was regis

others of . similar nature were read. 1t
was alleged that hundreds Of these Ger

and that they would be presented at the
polls by political tools. He also said that
within the past ten days bad men had APP
peared at the Democratic headquarters
with registration tickets for sale. Other
instances of political prostitution were
cited by Mr.. Carson with virtnous indigna-
ton.
Judge Thomas Burke was next presented
and made a brief but eloquent address.
He administered . merited rebuke to the
belligerents hot-spurs Of the Central
Democratic League whose anx-
iety for a political contest had pre-
cipitated a partisan campaign. II
says party politics have no place in a
city election" said he emphaticaliy, and
repeated the declaration several times dur
ing his remarks. The true course, he held.
was to select men for their fitness to ad-
minister municipal affairs. He spoke
strongly for Mr.. Collins. but had no dis
paraging remarks to make concerning his
opponent
Hon. ID. 0. Finch, the next speaker, not
yet a voter in Seattle. said that he was
very much like a territorial delegate in
congress, who had right to talk but not a
right to vote. He repeated Mr.. Burke's
assertion that partisan politics had no
place in municipal election.
William HI. Thompson was intr oduced,
but made but few remarks.
The band then played "Down Went Nc
Ginty." and when it ceased up bobbed
James Hamilton Lewis and made in florid
eloquence the longest speech of the
evening He went more than any
of his predecessors into personal
criticism of the opposition candidate
for mayor. He had very much solicitude
for the laborers lest they be betrayed and
cited from italian literature tale of
treachery in illustration of what he feared
might befal them.

Mrs. J. HoLLENBEcK, of Los An
geles, has conveyed to a body of
trustee property amounting to near
ly million dollars for the purpose
of founding a home for INDECENT
women and children. This is a
noble deed, and the woman who
uses her money in this fashion must
surely be one of Gods own people.
What difference there must be be-
tween Mrs. Hollenbeck and the
wives of our millionaires who spend
thousands of dollars monthly in
giving dinners to the nobility of
England. The good lady has set
an example that should be followed

UTAH is to have a beet-sugar fac
tory with q capacity of handling
$50 tons of beets per day. The
factory will cost $4OO, 900, inclusive
of lands upon which to place the
works, and it will be within 40
miles of Salt Lake City. E. H.
Dyer & Co., are the prime movers
in the matter. To supply the fac
tory with beets will necessitate the
cultivation of 1900 acres of land
which will produce 20 tons of .beets
TO the acre. The season of crush
ing the beets will last about 40
days and an aggregate of 10000
will be used. The rate paid for the
raw beets will be 81 so per ton,
which means the distribution of
$50. 900 among the farmers. One

Francis G. NEwLAND's book on
Irrigation gives great deal of at
tention to the possibilities of stor-
age reservoirs on the Truckee, Car
son and Humboldt rivers, but
when it comes to the Walker river
it only says: 1.-THE problem is how
to transfer Walker lake to the sum-
mits of the mountains, or rather
how to retain in storage reservoirs
the waters which otherwise would
flow into it." While Mr.. Newlands
has had surveyors examine all the
Reservoir sites on the Carson and
Truckee rivers, and has made esti-
mates as to what work will be nee
essary and how much it will cost
to store the waters at certain points
on these rivers, it is evident that
he has had no practical men exam
inc the resources of the Walker
river. 1t is our opinion that one
of the finest reservoir sites in the
State is on the Walker river in
Smith Valley. There is a dry lake
between Kinds Hot Springs and
Wellington that could be filled to
to a depth Of from 80 to so feet.
The building of a dam would not
be necessary, all that would be re-
1uired would be ditch through a
low range of hills into Mason VAL
ley. A head gate would hold the
water in the reservoir when not
wanted for irrigation. An arrange
ment of this kind would without
doubt furnish sufficient water to ir-
rigate all the land in the lower end
Of Mason Valley, and the cost of
the reservoir, ditch and head gate
would not exceed 100000.

The Farmers Alliance seems to
be drifting into troubled waters. 1t
is trying to accomplish too much
in too short a length of time. If it
does not end like the Changers AL
lance we will be mistaken. We
had hopes the Alliance would choose
the best elements of both parties
and be an American party that
would grow into power. Some of
the things that the Alliance has set
out to accomplish are good, but
they will never be accomplished in
the manner it is proposed by them
to make the reforms.

NOTWITHSTANDING the Australia

NOTWITHSTANDING the Australian
ballot system was recommended by
both parties in their State platforms,
there appear to be quite a number
of persons who are in ignorance in
regard to the details of its workings.
They are substantially as follows:
Ballots are to be provided at public
expense. None but those ballots
are to be used; on them are to be
printed the name of all candidates
who are nominated either by con-
venhons or petitions short period
prior to the election; the ballots are
to be distributed only by sworn bal
lot clerks, as the polls, to voters, and
for actual and immediate use in
voting. The voter is allowed five
minutes in which to retire to
booth conveniently arranged, where
he secretly marks his choice of can
didates upon the face of the ballot,
or, if he prefers, writes the names of
candidates of his own nomination
in place of those already printed;
having done this he proceeds di-
rectly to the ballot box, and, with
out exposing the face of the ballot,
or communicating with any one,
deposits the ballot as his vote. For
the benefit of blind and illiterate,
such voter is permitted to select
one of the two ballot clerks, who,
under oath of fidelity and secrecy,
assists him to mark his ballot. If
any person in preparing a ballot
spoils it, he may successfully OBJ
tain others one at a time, not ex-
ceeding three in all, upon returning
each spoiled one. The ballots thus
spoiled must be Immediately cam
.celled and preserved by the ballot
clerk.
