Fourth Count of the Contest
Shows a Growing Interest
---EIks in the Lead.
(Fourth county

(FOurth count.)
Below is given the fourth count in the
M erchants piano contest. There are
two new contestants added today. They
are the Modern Woodmen Of America
and the Methodist church.
Nearly fiye thousand votes have been
cast thus far in the contest and they are
commencing to pile up pretty well and
the people are demanding them from
those who are in the contest.
Tho lodge of Elks is in the lead today
although very strong contestant ap-
pears in the Odd Fellows, the Library
association being heretofore the heaviest
contestant OF the Eks and they still
stand second in the count.
1t is any organizations chance to win
vet for many weeks and no organiza-
ton should feel discouraged by what
their opponents may have.
As far as can be ascertained the mer-
chants whose names are on the list OF
those who can give away ballots have
not taken any hand whatever in the con-
test and are working for no special Or
ganiza ton. In fact they cannot afford
to do 30 as every merchant is looking for

Now York, Oct. Gan effort was made
tonight to sse Emil Boas, agent OF the
Hamburg American line here, but it was
said at his homo that he was out west.
Information in regard to the report
was also sought at the piers of the
steamship company at Hoboken but
nothing could be obtained there. 1t was
said no word of the grounding had been
received.
A recent dispatch from London said
the Deutschland would bring a large
number OF passengers on this trip, in
cluding several very prominent Ameri-
cans.
This il the third time the Deutschland
has bean aground in tho Elbe, stranding
twice on the way from Kiel to Hamburg.
On the first occasion she was aground
several days.
Pagenunda is in the River Elbe.
The steamer will probably float with q
higher tide.

Keep II Out of Politics.

The Post-rnteiligencer is pleased to sec
ond the petition made by number OF our
citizens without respect to party that DR..
+. II. Coe allow his name to be used as
a candidate for member OF the school
board. The movement is an excellent one,
both because OF the qualifications of the
gentleman named and because OF the
purpose that it discloses,. absolutely vital
to the efficiency OF our public schools. to
take and keep the control of them out OF
the strife Of party politics.
The selection made is a wise one. Dr.
Coo is well equipped for intelligent and
sympathetic service. He is himself an
educated man. He has that most vital
tie OF interest to the public schools. chill
dren OF his own TO be educated in them.
He has had personal experience IN the
work OF school superintendent that Is
Invaluable in dealing with educational
matters from the practical standpoint.
That prominent citizens OF both parties
monial TO his uprightness and fairness. II
IL . nonpartisan nomination. and we boz
iieve that 1t will be welcome to the peo-
pie and approved by them.
The separation of school control from
the fortunes OF party cannot be too COM
plete. To make one dependent upon the
other is little short of crime. The welfare
Of the children. their whole future, may
depend upon the quality OF instruction
which they receive Let school board
be submissive to party and anxious to
advance its interests. and the teaching
force will sooner or later be chosen by
political preference rather than by fitness.
1t is an injury too serious. an offence too
great to tolerate.
Seattle has been exceptionally fortunate
In this respect. The members of the
school board have set citizenship first.
They have known no party in the ad-
ministration OF their office. That STAN
dard can be maintained only by nom
partisan selections whenever vacancies 90
cur. The opportunity is here. The mem
ton Of DR.. coe. against whom no objec-
ton can be urged and whose qualifica-
lions for the position are OF the highest
order, will give great public satisfaction
and continue and emphasize the policy OF
severing completely the conduct of our
educational interests from party politics.
His nomination and election should fol-
low. as we have no doubt they will. BY
the unanimous voice OF our people.

Lowering Lake Washington.

The suggestion OF Capt. Taylor. that
the government canal between Lake
Washington and Puget sound be built
without locks, but that in lieu thereof the
level OF the lake be lowered to that of
the salt water. is one which ought TO find
an instant and favorable acceptance by
every one. 1t is difficult to advance an
argument against 1t. or to show a single
public or private interest which would be
affected adversely by building the canal
as suggested. From an engineering stand
point, it simplihes the proposition OF put.
ting through the canal. As a question Of
operation OF the canal when built. every
consideration should prompt the elimina.
ton of any lock system. II such elimina-
ton is practicable as It Is in this par
ticular case.
But aside from the use Of the canal as
a waterway for ships. its value to tho
people OF this county would be enormously
increased II it should be built without
locks. and the level OF Lake washington
permanently lowered. Such change in
the level OF the lake would not in1ure II
I'm the slightest degree as harbor. for
the depth of water remaining would be
amply SUFFICIENT for any vessel ever built
or ever likely to be built. In fact. IL any.
thing. the depth OF water in the lake In

area Of valuable swamp land lying along
the southern shore OF the lake and along
the Samamish slough as well.
II would change the course Of Black
river. so that 1t would flow into the lake.

ability such a decided change in the level
OF the lake would divert into 1t con.
siderable portion OF the flow of White

At the present rate Of growth the for
eign commerce OF Puget sound will soon
put this in the rank OF the foremost ports
In the United States. Even now IT ranks
out of all proportion higher than II 10
entitled to by volume OF population. The
monthly Summary OF Commerce and Fl
nance for August furnishes some figures
on the subject. which are almost startling
in their revelations as to the manner In
which this commerce Is expanding. These
figures show that during the month OF
August the total volume OF tonnage Of
all classes which cleared from Puget
sound for foreign ports was rla5os tons,
divided as follows:
American sail tonnage ............. $3.50
American steam tonnage ........... 70.4as
Foreign sail tonnage ................ 1861
Foreign steam tonnage ............. ls,as1
Total ...... ...ss......s....,......... fi4.50S
The total for the eight customs districts
on the Pacific coast was but eas. $50: so
that Puget sound furnished nearly ono
half Of the total foreign tonnage for the
whole coast. In comparison with other
ports. the total tonnage in foreign trade
clearing from San Francisco during the
month was 10. oss, divided into 2s.eSe sail
and Ts.ns steam. Puget sound thus leads
slightly In the volume OF steam tonnage
and In the aggregate OF all tonnage over
the great California port. and consequently
Tor tho month takes the nrst position. IA
FAR as Portland Is concerned. the aggre-
gate Of all the vessels clearing for the
month was but i5.iSs tons. 80 that port
hardly enters into tho comparison at all.

for tho month was foreign.
