out large chunk of quartz weighing
several hundred pounds, that was plas-

THE ONTARIO.
Dividend of Ten Cents a Share
Declared.

The Ontario Silver Mining company
has declared a dividend of 10 cents a
share, aggregating $4,000, payable
January 81. 1896.
This is the first dividend paid by the
Ontario since October, 1892, at which
time it's dividend account had grown tc
the magnificent sum of $13,175, 600
Since then the slump in silver put a
check on this grand producer, and
aside from paying its running eX-
penses and completing it's three-mile
drain tunnel, it has been enjoying a
long sleep, and it's stock, in conse-
quence, dropped from $40 to $40 ir
value.
1t is generally believed that the DAILY
will pay a dividend next month, wher
another old standby will be heard from
again.

VOTING BY MACHINERY.

Under the old system of open ballot,
when men could be marched to the
polls and voted in blocks, they were
effective voting machines, in that
they could be made to express the will
of designing manipulator. The
adoption of the Australian ballot sys-
TEN has, to very great extent. re-
moved this meehanicsl featpre from
our elections, and now inventive minds
have gone to work creating device
whereby the elector can get into q
"stall" an rattle off his choice for pub
lie servants by the aid of machine
that faithfully records each vote cast,
and when the voting is over has the
totals all footed up.
The new constitutions of New York
and Massachusetts give permission for
the use of these voting devices in any
county or precinct that may decree
their employment. This is the first
year. says the st. Paul Pioneer Press,
in which they have been tried 10 a
presidential election, Worcester, Mass,
a town somewhat smaller than st.
Paul, cast its vote py means of 4S such
machines. The apparatus is said to
be something (which defies the tricks
and >sorceries of the most depraved
ballot-box stuffep. It is something
that cannot be beaten, that registers
certainly and secretly the will Of every
voter"
The apparatus is in principle the
same as cash register. :. The voting
is done by simply pushing in a knob
for each ticket, or each candidate voted
for. A knob once pushed in does not
return until the voter leaves the
booth. so that repeating" is impos.
sible. The machine counts and records
each vote as it is put in; and when the
polls close, the door on the back is
opened and the total number of votes
given for each eandidate is seen at
glance. There Is no counting of bali
lots and no possibility OF disturbing
the count as registered. 1t reduces the
cost of election to a minimum, in
sures absolute secrecy, aud, in short,
seems to have so much to recommend
1t that it will not be surprising if at
the next presidential election it will
be found in use in many Of the states.
Now that experiment has proved their
success, it cannot be lopg before the
people of the United States will be
voting by machinery.

SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY.

The alkali soil in many sections OF
Eastern Oregon is we'll adapted to
sugar beet culture, and it seems pos.
sible that this will at some date be-
come a leading industry among the
farmers of the Inland Empire. In an
article in the North American Review,
E. Somers gives q summary OF 1actS
concerning sugar beet culture in Call
fornia, which shows this tu5er to be
praitable crop in that state. The ar
ticle referred to says:
"The yield of sugar beets varies
from twelve to forty tons per acre.
The best land with good cultivation
and a favorable season, will yield
from twenty to thirty-five tons per
acre, but the crop would be hardly
profitable at yield of less than twelve
tons per acre. In Califorhia the
greatest production from single acre
of land was little more than forty
tons of beets; but this is an unusual
yield. The estimated cost OF Produc-
ton per acre is about $50. In the
present condition of the methods OF
manufacture, from eight to twelve
pounds of beets are required in the
making of one pound of sugar; the
quantity varies according to greater or
lesser richness OF the beets in sugar.
The price changes with the conditions
of the markets. About four yeass ago
beet sugar from Germany was landed
on the wharves of New York at cost
of 1891 per 100 pounds. 1t rarely costs
now cents pound.
During the last six years such i'm
provements have been made in. the
progress of manufacture that instead of
converting from to 5 per cent of the
beet into sugar, IL to 16 per cent are
converted now, and the cost OF pro-
duction per pound was once 8 to IL
cents, is now only Ito 4. The average
cost here in 1893 was cents, and "a
600 acres were used for growing sugar
beets, which brought to the farmer an |
average price $3.50 tor An acre
produced 1861 TO 1920 pounds OF sugar."

THE ADVANCE OF SCIENCE.

|
The rapid strides that have been
made during the past 20 years in the
scientific application of electricity for
mechanical purposes has been The
wonder OF the age. Electricity has
been made to perform all manner of
service, but its application as motive
power has been most wonderful. The
greatest victory in this line yet
achieved was accomplished at. mid.
night last Sunday when the great falls
of Niagara were harnessed SO that
they furnished motive power for a
street railway in the city of Buffalo, q
miles away.
This is indeed one of the greatest
achievements Of modern science. The
Niagara falls furnish the greatest
motive power on earth, and now that
power has been SO harnessed that it
furnishes 10000 horse power in the
city of Buffalo.
The electricity generated at Niagara
is transmitted to Buffalo over eight
cables, and the power generated there
is as steady as it is at the falls.
With such an achievement as this
there appears to be no limit to the de-
velopment Of electrical power. Elec-
tricity generated at one side of con-
tinent may betransmitted to the other,
It is possfbIes chat the power of the
Niagara falls may be transmitted to
New York, Philadelphia and even to
New Orleans, and there used to set the
wheels of factories in motion.
With such achievements in utilizing
the power generated by the falls of
Niagara, what is possible with the
falls of the great Columbia at Cello
and Cascades? Why not the power
that is going to waste daily at these
places be harnessed, and caused to turn |
ST spindles in The Dalles
and Portland? What is possible in |
New York is possible on the Pacific |
coast. The genius of mai will be.
brought to bear upon these latent
powers sooner or later, and in time the
falls of the Columbia will be the motive
power applied to the machinery. of the
Northwest

WALLA WALLA, Nov. Thames E,
Stevens, anarchist and firebug, and

the charge ofarsop. Ever since the
burning of the Abbott barn on May 26
last, and the Northern Pacific elevator
on June s, both OF which were plainly
of incendiary origin, the police and
sheriff's Office have been working dill
gently to ferret out the mystery. For
q month or more it has ceased to be

become satisfied that they had the
right man spotted they deferred the
arrest until they had encircled him

Tne particular crime for which Stev,

FREE PASSES.


The constitution OF Washington has
some provisions with reference to pub
lie officials receiving free, passes on
transportation lines, that might we'll
be embodied in the constitution of
every state in the Union. Article 2.
section 80, of the Washington consti-
tuition says: SIT shall not be lawful
for any person holding public Office in
this state to accept or use pass or
purchase transportation from any rail-
road or other corporation other than
as the came may be purchased by the
general public, and the legislature
shall pass laws to enforce this provis-
ion." Article 2, section 20, provides
that "no railroad or other transparta.
tion company shall grant free passes
or sell tickets OF passes at discount,
other than is sold to the public gen.
orally, to any member of the legisla-
ture, or to any person holding public
Office within this state. The legisla-
ture shall pass laws to carry this pro-
vision into effect" Indeed these are
wise provisions, especially in restrain
ing the issuance OF passes to legislators.
which is common practice in every
state. Of course no legislator con-
siders it a bribe when transportation
company presents him with pass; but
after he has ridden free of charge over
railroad or steamboat line O few
times. he finds that he is under some
obligation to the line. He has received
favors at it's hands, and when called |
upon to, vote upon measure that is |
intended to restrict the privileges of |
the transportation company, the debt |
of gratitude he owes the company may
warp his judgment. Passes are given
out for this purpose, and, sad to relate.
too often have the effect for which they
are intended. The state allows mile
age to alllegislators. hence there is no
necessity for the law-making body az
cepting favors from common carriers
If legislators would be independent,
and consider that they stultify them
selves by accepting fayors. there would
be no necessity for law foridding the
granting of free passes, but since they
do not take this view of the matter,
laws regulating the same should be
enacted.

their pistols and opened fire, shooting
down Joseph Howell, Nelson Howell
and George Avery. Nelson Howell,
who was shot three times, Is mortally
wounded. The other two are badly
wounded, but have chance to re-

After the Wilson's had emptied their
pistols they drew :. knives and
