THE CONTEST CLOSED.

In throwing cut the entire vote
cast for Maid of Honor in the recent
contest, the county commissioners
did the only thing possible under the
peculiar circumstances. The record
which appears on the books of the
county clerk is this:
Inasmuch as there appears to have
been general irregularity in the
printing of ballots cast for the va
rious candidates for Maid of Honor,
the board refuses to accept any of
the ballots and declares no election
for Maid of Honor in the ballots al
ready cast.
The entire fight was between two
Florence candidates and the contest
waxed exceeding warm in our neigh
Dor city. The Florence Citizen puts
the matter plainly when it says:
On investigation the board found
that considerable number of ballots
were printed at the Record office on
job printing press with no connec-
tion whatever with the newspaper
This was plainly illegal. The Trib-
une, called upon late Saturday even
ing, had run off two pages of their
paper on half sheet, each contain
ing one ballot, which the board
thought was irregular. The Citizen
had also printed half-sheets.
The publisher of each of the three
papers admitted printing "some ir-
regular ballots, and in most cases
not even the publisher himself could
distinguish between the irregular
and the genuine ballots. Under such
circumstances the proposition of
some papers that the commissioners
throw out the irregular" ballots
and count what appeared to be genu-
inc, il most absurd. With SO much
irregularity" connected with the
whole business, the county commits
sionsrs did the only consistent thing
possible.
Next time the editor of the Tribune
writes about the matter it would be
interesting for him to print in full
the confession his business manager
made before the commissioners of how
he stealthily went behind the .closed
DOORS of competitors business Of
fce and secretly stole information
and papers merely to prove that
others had done as he had printed
irregular" ballots. The confession
- he made it would be more eloquent
than anything another paper could
say about it.

ELECTION RETURNS.

One Of the most beautiful days that
ever smiled upon the Grand valley, was
yesterday. Election days have the re-
putation of being bad days, but yester-
day was an exception and almost the
full vote Of the city was gotten out.
Never was more effective work done
in the history OF the city in getting out
the full vote Every vote was made to
count.
As predicted in The Sentinel, Mayor
Ella was re rejected to the Office Of mayor
of this city for term Of two years.
In the First ward Wharton was cleo
ted alderman over w. T. Dowery. The
canvass here has been very stiff and MIR.
Allison and Wharton carried the ward.
The Second ward was given G. q,
Covey, the republican candidate by II
majority over his opponent j. W. Weyer.
In the Third ward the vote was tie
The vote cast for each of the aldermen
was 1872.
In the Fourth ward Broemser, Of the
Citizens ticket defeated Hadcock by 1s
votes. Broemser's vote was lit and
Hadcock's 80.
For city treasurer John w. Peirce
gained decisive victory over Walter A.
Abbey. Mr.. Peirce was the candidate
OF the Citizens ticket. The total vote
for Peirce was 573 for Abbey 427.
Mayer Ella defeated his opponent Mr..
Allison by 20 votes. The total cast for
mayor was 521 for Mayor Ella and sol
for Mr.. Allison.
The election of Mayor Ella is deci-
ded victory for the peoples greater
Grand Junction, as has been urged in
this paper. 1t means that litigation
shall stop and that the question of SOW
age shall be settled and that the inter
miniable fight that has characterized
the history OF the city for some years
past have final sediment.
All the power Of the saloon element
was backing Mr.. Allison and much
money was spent to secure his election,
The people did some thinking for them
selve however, and victory has perched
itself on our banners.
The following is a summary OF the
complete vote as given into the hands of
City Clerk Delaplain.

Senator BuckHn's Utility Bill
, is Stolen From the House
Representatives.
PASSED BOTH HOUSES
But Chief Clerk Dickson Stole 1t
and Attempted to Escape
But Was Captured.

The fate OF Senator Bucklin's Senate
Bill No. 355, which had relation to the
purchase or erection OF utilities by cor
porations and towns was only saved
from being forever lost in the hnal
shuttle Of legislative scramble. through
his own activity in detecting thief. in
the person of Senate Clerk Dickinson.
The following from the News gives a
description of the manner in which the
corporations of Denver tried to steal the
bill through the clerk:
What do the people Of Denver think
Of this?
Bucklin's bill, empowering the cities
and towns OF Colorado to own their own
public utilities was stolen from the
house of representatives last night after
it had bee i passed by both houses.
The theft was perpetrated at the in
stance of the Denver corporations.
The man who took the bill, Chief
Clerk Dickinson, was captured and
knocked senseless by an indignant mem
ber of the house. The bill was then
sent to the governor.
The final desperate act OF the corpor-
ations to tighten their clutch upon this
city was contaminated last night, when,
through their machination, Senator
Bucklin's Utilities bill was stolen from
the house.
Not content with coercing members OF
the legislature into thwarting any prop
osition looking toward the possession by
the people OF the rights to which they
are entitled; not content with bribing
those representatives who are supposed
to be far above the dastardly trick Of
betraying those who placed them in such
a responsible position; not content with
circulating the most infamous lies
through the columns OF their organs;
not content with whipping unwilling
subjects into line for their own greedy
gain, they have adopted the means OF a
footpad and stole bodily bill providing
that municipalities OF the state may
acquire their own public utilities.
Senator Bucklin's bill was passed at
1870 last night and few moments later
Chief Clerk Dickson had disappeared
with the measure.
This is the last act committed in dee-
peration on the part Of the .monopolies,
to ,asten their fingers deeper into Colo
radios throat,
The general public will be given a
lesson by this latest jobbery.
After a hurried search indignant mem
| bers captured Dickinson, beat him se-
| verely and recovered the bill.
Fifteen policemen were sent to the
chamber on hurry call.

A writer in the St. Louis Republic
says that the most vicious and fear

the peccary. or wild hog, of Mexico.
This animal seems utterly devoid Of
fear, and displays an intelligence in
fighting man strangely at variance
with his apparently complete lack Of
mental attributes.
Their ability TO scent man is par
ticularly marked. The only thing to
do when they get after you Is to run
away from them as fast as a horse
can carry you And then there is no
certainty that they won't catch you.
They are nearly as swift as a horse,
and their endurance is as great as
their y~iciousness.
A friend of mine encountered a
drove of them in u wild part of Mexico
a few years go, and his escape was
almost miraculous. He very foolishly
shot and wounded a number of them.
Then he took refuge in a tree.
The peccaries kept him in the tree
all that day and through the night.
They circled round the tree. grunt-

was not considered possible until a few
months ago. The people had concluded
hat repayment from the roads in fun
was hardly TO be hoped for. and con-
xress discussed various concessions to
bring about n settlement. Butthe main
line, consisting OF the Union Pacific and
the Central Pacific, the first OF the over
land railways, have either paid or ar
ranged 10 pay every cent of their obi
cations TO the government. The sum
received from the Union Pacific Is $751;

Central Pacific calls for $685. .7i5.
Thus the stem road pays in full. The
Kansas Pacific paid the principal of its

up 1923, $50, 039, or enough TO meet esti-
mates for the construction Of the Mica
ragua canal.
Thirty years have passed since the
first railroad across the continent was
opened for traffic. In 1865 there was
still nearly n thousand miles of stage
coaching in the overland journey, but
in 1869 the long talked OF Pacific rail-
road was an accomplished fact. Its sn-
direct value 10 the government has
been enormous. Its success multiplied
the number of i%nteroceanic railways.
New states have arisen through their
facilities and added hundreds OF mil
lions 10 the wealth OF the people. That
the money advanced by the government
should be returned TO IL. with almost
full interest, is a gratifying fact. and
n surprise In view OF the belief two
years ago that the roads would not dis
charge more than half their obliga-
lions. There would have been a large
shrinkage but for the firm attitude
and intelligent financiering Of the pres
ident and the cabinet. The general
prosperity which came in with McKin-
ley enabled the roads 10 command the
aid OF capital to the extent required by
these transactions. The credit, there
fore, doubly belongs 10 the present adj
ministration.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
