the Iowa railroads in Iowa last year,
these sixe lines paid $1,404.626. The
Rock Island, Illinois Central and Great
Western show decrease in net earn

BOYD WINS
Republicans Get Mayor But
 Lose Other 0ficys.

Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.l )
 Spokane, May G.-L. Frank Boyd, republican, was elected mayor in the 6ve-cornered municipal contest in this city yesterday. The democrats get nearly an the other offices, and will control the city council by a big ma jority. The defeat of Hon. Huber Rasher, the democratic candidate, who Is a member of the state senate and the largest dealer in agricultural imple- ments in Eastern Washington, was largely due Co the inroads made in the democratic vote by Dr. P. F. Byrne the present mayor who ran on an inde- pendent ticket for reelection. Senator Rasher defeated Dr. Byrne for the nomination ln the democratic munich pal convention. In addition to the loss of votes from this source, the Liquor Dealers association and the big gam bling houses threw their strength to Boyd on account of Senator Rasher's support given the anti-gambling legis- lation in the state legislature last winter In addition to Boyd, Rasher and Dr. Byrne, there were two other candidates for mayor, W. II. Acufi, the league candidate, and D. II. Hughes, socialist.
 l.. Frank Boyd, the mayor-elect, is assistant postmaster.

Farmers, IL you want something to
make your crops grow as well as to en-
rich your soil, get the kind of fertilizer
sold at the Felty Roller Mill, Oakland.
Will take produce in the fall.
We call attention to the new adver-
tisements in this issue, says the Sails
bury Star. You will note that Drug
gist Miller is in the show business and
that Mr.. Reich, the well-known Mey-
ersdale undertaken, has branch I'm
dertaking establishments Salisbury.
With two good undertakes doing
business in their town, there is no roa-
son why some of our people should
not select their spring collins early
and be buried before the styles change.
Those who contemplate ''shuffling off
should leave their orders with Mr..
Miller for flower seeds. Nothing sets
off a grave like a nice lot of flowers
growing on it, and the collins and cas-
kets our undertak ers have in stock are
simply lovely.
The average man likes to work.
Who thinks that man with the in
come of Morgan or Rockefeller would
work another minute if he got no
more from it than the income? The
love of work is a compelling force in
herent in every one of us. The need
of money does not drive many men to
work. If it did they would stop when
they get enough. Instead of stopping
they work right along, and when they
have more money than is needed they
spend it for any fool thing that hap
pens along. Some men save their
money against the future, or to en-
able them to climb higher in the scale
of comfort, but exceedingly few stop
work. Man cannot stop work and be
happy. But the man who has to work
at a job he does not like is to be pitied.
He should try to get on better terms
with it at once, that it may lose for
him it's disagreeable features and
make his life worth living.

WILL REBUILD MILL.
Preston Lumber and Coal Company Will
Replace Mill at CreIlin Which
Was Rurned,


Replace Mill at CreIIin Which
Was Burned.
The officials of the Preston Lumber
and Coal Company are making prep
arations to rebuild their plant which
was consumed by fire some weeks ago,
entailing a loss of some sos, 900 or $780,
600 and throwing hundred or more
men out of employment.
A small mill is now on the way to
Crellin which will be erected and tim
bers of sufficient size manufactured
with which to erect the frame of a
large mill which will occupy the site
of the one burned. The new mill will
be of about the same capacity as the
old one and will give employment to
as many men.
The company has enough timber
yet standing to operate for the next
twenty years and as the base of oper-
alton will again be established at
Crellin it is presumed that that town
will continue to be headquarters for
the plant.
