Corvallis should see to it that their
goods are on sale. First, because
they are good goods, and second, be.
cause it is a business proposition.
The more that are consumed, the
more men they will employ and the
more money will be paid out in
wages which will stimulate every
branch Of business. These gentle

Graduated at Philomath,

At an adjourned meeting last
week, the county court denied the
petition of taxpayers in the south
ern end of the county for con-
struction of a bridge over the Long
Tom at Liverpool crossing. The
petition was presented to the court
a couple of months ago. 1t was
signed by large number of tax.
payers. Ali the members of the
court went out to the scene, taking
along Frank Miller of Albany, who
is bridge expert. After figuring
on the probable cost, Mr.. Miller
submitted a written report. estima-
ting that the cost of the structure
would not be 1sss than $4,000 and
that it might cost $4,000 On ac-
count of the expense, the members
of the court denied the petition
A fact that increased the cost of
the structure is that it had to be,a
drawbridge. In his report he refers
to the bridge atBundy crossing. and
says it will be found to be useless
as drawbridge if occasion requires
its use as such. The was formerly
comfy bridge at Liverpool crossing

United States engineers when Long

which 1t Is claimed, would have

following testimony was taken at
at the inquest, which was held

ELECTION BETTING

There Is not so much betting this
year on the result of the election as
there usually is. In fact, but very
little interest Is being manifested In
the election If any and the vote
promises to be less than 1t was one
year ago. Some bets have been
posted however. One man has bet
SIS. that he can pick five::wlnners
and has chosen as his winners
Meek, Kirkland, Frantz, Merville
and Ryan. This IS considered by
many as good and easy bet for
the man who has chosen these can
didates as the winners.
Another bet was made of $1oo,
that Meek would be the next mayor
of Sistersville. This was the lar
gest bet we heard OF and the Meek's
man would give no cdds.
Another bet was made that Lynn
Kirkland would poll more votes
than would any other candidate on
the ticket this year.
Still another bet was made that
Kirkland and Frantz would lead
the ticket when the votes are
counted this evening.
1t seems to be conceded by every.
body that Ryan will be elected
councilman In the First ward
against Moore, although Mr.Moore
Is making hard fight to win out,
but this ward Is pretty strongly
Sistersville daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1902-1905, 1903-03-26

Democratic and the chances seem
to favor Ryan.
The public seem to think Frame
will be elected councilman and so
will Brown while they do not say
how Templeton will come out as
he is In the country working at a
fishing Job and can't even come
home to vote. We heard men say this
morning that ifthe preachers had
not come out for King he would
have been elected, but these gentle
men had killed his chances. We
don't agree to this, He will
poll a good vote and his
chances for winning ont are fairly
good. Still, 1t seems to be con-
sidered a safe bet that Meek will be
the next mayor. Kirkland will win
ont easy and so will Frantz and
Merville. The Republicans are
harmonious this year, have good
organization and plenty of money
The Democrats are not properly or
ganized, are shy on cash and the
party Is not enthusiastic. When a
few leaders,as they call themselves,
get out of politics and let the party
run its own organization the Demo.
Gratis will win out easily. But
Democrats can't be bossed nor
won't. We are glad the election Is
quiet, orderly and no hard words are
being indulged in. We hope the
Democrats will win out, but have
but little hopes Tor 1t.

The Vote Today.

A Review reporter visited the
different voting places this after
noon at o'clock and found the
following votes had already been
cast. At the First ward, 90 votes
second 70; third 13I and II2 In the
Fourth. Total votes polled 4o3.
Last year at 3 o'clock 499 votes
had been cast. The vote this year
judging from these figures will be
nearly the same as it was last year,
but perhaps few less.

PROTET COMING
TO HONOLULU

Acting Vice Consul for France, Mr..
Albert Raas, received a letter from
San Francisco yesterday announcing
that the French cruiser Protet, which
was here more than year ago, would
arrive in Honolulu harbor about Octo-
Der s. The news came as a surprise
as the San Francisco papers received
yesterday stated that the cruiser was
to go to Esquimait.
When the cruiser was in port be-
fore, her decks were thronged with
guests, her commander now Admiral
Barnaud, and his officers, proving
themselves capital entertainers. At
ter brilliant round of festivities the
vessel left for New Caledonia, the
French insular possession in the Pa
cific She has been in San Fran
cisco for long period.
The Protet is a handsome and for
misunderstanding fighting machine, and
she carries fierce-looking steel ram.
She is commanded by Capt. Adigard,
who is also chief of the French Naval
Division of the Pacific.
