EXTENSIVE N COUNTIES
Only II Minor County Officers Elected
Out Of ~ in ths STATE.

Boise, Ida, Nov. "a. The proper
tions of the republican victory in
Idaho is emphasized by the results of
the contests in the various counties
for county officers. There we're 232
county officers elected in the state.
OF these the democrats only elected
twenty-six, mostly minor positions.
In only one county, Owyhee, did the
democrats secure the control Of. the
hoard of commissioners. There were
only four democratic commissioners
elected in the entire state, the two in
Owyhee. one in Blaine and one in
Gilmore. The democrats also elected
four surveyors, three county attor-
news four assessors, one sheriff, one
auditor and recorder, and only one
voted on in the state; the treasurer,
one probate judge and seven school
superintendent.
II was in connection with the coron-
ersbip that the democrats suffered the
most complete defeat. Not a demo
cratic coroner was elected in the
state.
OF the twenty-one counties, twelve
went republican on the county ticket
from top to bottom. There will moi
be a democratic county officer after
the first of the year in Ada, Bingham
Canyon, Csssia, Fremont Idaho
Kootenai. Latah, Lincoln, Nez rer'e

The Best Liniment.

"Chamberlain's Pain Balm is CON
sidered the best liniment on the mar
ket," write Post & Bliss, of Geor-
gia, VT No other liniment will heal
a cut or bruise SO quickly. No other
affords such quick relief from rheum-
attic pains. No other is SO valuable
for deep seated pains like lame back
and pains in the chest Give this
linimeht a trial and you will never
be without it. Sold by all druggists.

ADD 10 EQUIPMENT
Immense Increase Of Facilities for
Handling business Between Port
land and Omaha.

During the past year there has been
an Immense increase of facilities for
handling transportation business over
the lines of the Oregon Railroad &
Navigation company, the Oregon
Short Line, and the Union Pacific,
between Portland and Omaha, says
the Portland Journal. These lines
have added to their equipment 80
locomotives and 1000 freight cars,
and have nearly as many more freight
cars ordered and to be delivered be-
tween this date and the opening Of
the season of 1905. In addition to
this the system has paid dividend
of 10 per cent on its common stock,
set aside over SO, 500, 900 for better
ments, and lent something like $15, :
900, 900 to the Southern Pacific.
Railroad men regard the rehabita-
ton of Union Pacific to it's present
condition of extraordinary prosperity
as one of the most brilliant achieve
ments in the railway world Less
than eight years ago the Union Pa
cific system was ridiculed as 1.-TWO
streaks of rust across the desert. ~
Today it is one of the strongest rail
roads in the country.
During the last year it completed
81 / miles of new road, bat the total
mileage operated decreased 41O miles,
due to the sale to the San Pedro, Lot
Angeles & Salt Lake road Of certain
lines that would naturally have be-
come part of that system. The Har-
riman people got about 81, 600, 00C
for these lines. The entire property
turned over by Hartman to the new
road consisted of 512 miles, II loco
motives, 13 passenger cars and 20!
freight cars.
The lines between Portland ant
Omaha have in the last IL months in
creased their earnings by 81, 600, 00'
in passenger and $4,000, 900 il
freight business, over the preceedin
year. Extensive track improvements
reduction of grades, and building {
new bridges have been carried on an
are now being prosecuted along II
o. r. & N. lines in Oregon. The n
l suits already enjoyed from these in
Is provements are shown in an increase
