A Duck Shower.

A strange phenomenon was observed
in Osceola last Friday morning, which
was so unusual as to be worth record
ing. Sometime in the wee small hours
Of the morning flock of wild ducks was
winging it's way southwark to escape
the coming rigors OF the north and found
as it entered the borders of Clark county
the delightful and salubrious cline it
was seeking. Upon arriving over Os-
ceola it had come so near the ground
that great many of the ducks got mix
ed up in the tree tops and with the tele-
phone and light wires and some scores of
the finest birds were brought to the
ground, part of them stunned, some
crippled and some killed outright,
When daylight came they were found
and picked up in the park, in the
streets in gardens and door yards by a
number of our citizens. Mr.. Will Mont
gomery captured five and many others
secured from one to three. Some of
them are held as captives now still very
much alive. 1t is estimated near hun
dred ducks were picked up that morning
in this way. The night was thick and
foggy, and those who. happened to be
up say the birds seemed to be circling
about in town in utter confusion and
making the greatest hubbub. Osceola

The OFFICIAL CANVASS
The Canvass of the Official Returns
Shows the Democrats Elected
Entire County Ticket.

At the time THE REPORTER went to
press last Wednesday afternoon the
returns showed that every democrat on
the county ticket was elected with the
single exception Of Peck for surveyor.
just as the press was printing the last
papers it was discovered there was a
mistake in the vote as telephoned from
Fayette township for surveyor which
gave Mr.. Peck 66 more votes than first
reported and this changed the results
so that he was elected by majority of
%, making clean sweep for the demo-
Gratis county ticket. We extend con-
gratulations to Mr.. Peck on his election.
His home township gave him handsome
compliment, Decatur giving him 203
votes out of total of 263. This is the
second time Mr.. Peck has been elected
surveyor, the first time failing to quail
fy, but now he says he is going to serve
the people and he is one of the best
civil engineers in the state.
The board of supervisors met Monday
ana canvassed the official returns, show
ing the entire democratic ticket elect
ed, the majorities not being changed
more than one or two votes from the
result published in THE REPORTER last
week. The following is the vote and
majorities:

LON SMITH HAS FEARFUL FALL.
Well Known Leon Boy Falls From
Dome Of Library Building
In DeS Molnes.

Lon Smith, a well known and popular
young man who formerly resided in this
city and graduated from the Leon High
School with the class of 1902, met with
terrible accident which may yet
prove fatal, while working on the new
library building at Des Moines. The
Des Moines Capital has the, following
account of the e5accident:
Lon Smith, a young man employed at
the library on the interior finishing
work fell from point in the center of
the big dome this afternoon at 2:3O
o'clock and was seriously, il not fatally
injured.
Smith was taken to his home at 41S
Fourth street in the city ambulance.
DR.. N. NJ. Smith, city physician, who
attended the man, was unable to state
at o'clock the extent of the injury. 1t
is believed that young Smith will re-
cover unless internal complications are
found to exist.
The young man stepped from a mar
row scaffolding and fell upon an iron
frame floor twenty-five feet below.
Later-Dr. Smith reports that Lon
Smith, who was injured by fall at the
library building yesterday afternoon, is
likely to recover. Smith did not gain
consciousness until late hour last
evening.

Bee. Tree is Property of Man on
Whose Land it is.

Oskaloosa, Oct. 29.-,The boys who
cut down Henry Brandt's bee tree and
took down the honey have to pay for
same. 3 Judgment against two of the
boys, Joe Holdsworth and Joe Griffith,
was rendered in the sum of $50 and
costs amounting to $685. making a
total of $3.50 to be paid by the boys.
No judgment could be rendered against
the minors of the case, Frank Woods,
Tom and Fred Holdsworth and Charles
Tuttle.
The case was brought by Henry
Brandt, owner of the bee tree. He sued
for the sum of $50. The boys located a
bee tree ON the premises of the plaintiff.
They cut down the bee tree and appro-
priated the honey. The plaintiff caused
the arrest of the boys and sought to
recover the price. of the property. He
claimed that between 200 and 800
pounds of honey had been taken and
bees destroyed. In the adjudication of
the case, the value of the tree cut down
was estimated at $5, the corn destroyed
by trampling 81, value Of two swarms
of bees, So, and the value of the honey
taken $11-making total of $40. The
question of the ownership of wild bees
was argued carefully. The defense
claimed that the bees were the same
as wild animals and were open property
but the court did not find judgment in
accordance with this theory.

A STRAW ROOM.
Suggestions for Country House and
 Summer Decorations.

Suggestions for Country House and
 Summer Decorations.
 The straw room is cutie the newest idea in country house decoration. The suggestion for this cool, airy, gay and yet genuinely cozy method of furnish ing and decorating hed-chambers ema- mated from the clever brain of a. clever woman. As she was not only weary of the Delft blue, enamel paint and Colo nial mahogany fashions in house fur nishing, but quite unable, for financial reasons, to do over her second story in an expensive style, che evolved and practically adapted the straw room idea with great success last heason.
 The decorator who did the work of re- furnishing for her fell deeply in love with her scheme. and he spread the news of it so far and wide that this present season it has become the fash ion, even in the most expensive houses, to have not only several bed rooms, but the whole bed room story done up in straw.
 When this olan is followed, the floor is stained the color of the straw to be used, and then oiled. On this are spread Oriental mats of a color to match. Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Indian fiber rugs of as many colors as Joseph's coat, can be had in all shapes, sizes, tones, textures and prices. Those from Korea and Ceylon are as costly and beautiful oftentimes as good cam els hair rugs. They are oval, round and three-cornered, and finished with a fine fringe. The Japanese temple mats

place within reach of the navy yard. It. will be proper for the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, and for every representa-' tive of Seattle in the Legislature to join in this promise. ..sz ~ '
 When these things are done, we be- lieve that the embargo upon the navy yard will be raised. If it is not, then the responsibility for the wrong will be thrown upon the Navy Department, and such remonstrances as it must heed will be made. Nothing short of the pro- gramme here laid down will suffice. It would be the height of folly to argue the matter. The Navy Department has de- cided upon it's line of conduct, and its power in the premises is supreme. The very existence of the navy yard must not be put in jeopardy.
 Whether or not we believe that the Puget Sound navy yard is being treat ed exactly like others in the country, and whether or not we believe that this extreme policy is necessary or wise, makes no difference. It is a, question of life and death for Bremerton, and for the great interests on this coast that are identified with. the mainte- nance and activity of the navy yard. The things that have been pointed out must be done. Let them be done quick

THE REFoRMER OF BREMERToN

THE REFORMER OE' BREMEkION.
 The people of Bremerton are on the right track at last. It is unnecessary to say that the Post-Intelligencer is not believer in prohibition as principle. This is, however, certainly a special case and and exception. Unless the Navy Department can be assured not only that the evil conditions of which it complains at the Puget Sound navy yard are removed, but that they will never in any contingency be restored, the future of the navy yard is closed. The conditions that were permitted to exist in the town. and the supremely idi- otic and criminal attempts to bunco the Navy Department by making promises only to break them has left but one thing to be done.
 It will be necessary for the people of Bremerton, we believe, to revoke the license of every saloon now operating in the town. To this the business inter ests of Seattle have pledged their hearty cooperation and assistance. It will be necessary to put the town on re- cord as plainly and unalterably as can be done against the granting of any more licenses. This can be accomplish ed, for the present, by formal resolution and ordinance, together with pleage that appeal will be made to the next Legislature for the passage of law forever preventing the establishment of any kind of saloon or disorderly
