many more followers in the state
than has the peoples party that
there will be no possibility of
organizing 4 party OF the SO call
ed reform element that will stand
a ghost of show with the peo-
pie. The populist now have but
one alternative. Bryan has fool
ed them until he has killed the
party off completely and as he
has following of $4,000 to their
1900 there will be no question
of his course in the future. He
will be a democrat. The $4,000
populist can follow him into the
democratic camp or join the re-
publicans. There is no question
but a very large per cent of them
will do the latter. They are
neither fusionists or democrats.
The large vote for Roosevelt in
Custer county at the recent cleo
tion is an evidence of that fact.
They had instructed their dele"
gates in the county convention
against fusion. Yet fusion all
along the line was effected.
They revolted and cast their vote
for Roosevelt. The success of
part of the fusion ticket in this
county would not have been ac-
complished had all the voters
been informed. Scores of them
voted the democratic ticket
thinking they were voting for
Ross Moore for county attorney
and w. B. Eastman for senator.
| Many populist doubtless voted
for Mackey thinking they were
voting the populist ticket. Such
tactics will work sometimes, as it
is still true that some of the
people can be fooled part of the
time but all the people can not
be fooled all the time.

vote counted for Mackey in such
cases was clearly contrary to
law and should not have been
counted. There is no question
but the voter intended to vote
tor one OF the republican candi-
dates, but with the additional
cross opposite hlackey's name
and no other mark on the ticket
except the cross at the head of
the ticket the intention of the
voter as to which republican
candidate he intended to vote for
made the ballot on the legislative
ticket unintelligible and void to
all four of the candidates. TO
connt either under those Circum-
stances was unfair to the Others.
AS Mackey only received fifteen
majority it is more than probable
a recount of the ballot would
wipe out that majority aud show
Mathews was in fact elected. In

wasting board adheard to the law
by declining to count either of
the candidates where three were
voted for, but in Ansley town
ship where it is said that there
were about fifty such tickets
they were counted for Mackey.

Some writer has said that "The first miller
emerging from his savage state, with no
thought save hunger, plucked the wheat
from the stock, and, using his teeth for mill
stones, ground the first grist for q customer
who would not be denied-his stomach"
Thus gaining experience by test in the food
line, it would be only natural for this miller
to lay up a quantity of grain against an hour
OF need. Just when he commenced grinding
his wheat in the rude stone mortar and
moistening the -four preparatory to baking
tin the ashes OF his camp fire, aud just
when II was found that an old piece Of dough
in fresh batch made it better or "leaysnsd"
1t, is beyond the reach OF historians. Ger.
tain it is that though the principle was the
same thousands of years ago az it 10 to-day,
1t has remained for the makers of Yeast
Foam to supply yeast with all the true
leavening powers minus the properties that
produce sour, "runny" or soggy bread. This

made with it from any -four.
Yeast Foam 10 purely vegetable, being
made Of the best malt, corn, hops and other

This yeast 10 the only kind that preserves
in the bread all the delicious flavor and
nutritiye value of the wheat. The bread
made with it is always sweet and wholesome
and stays moist until used. Forty loaves Of

Is Mackey Elected

1t is reported that in some pre-
cincts where straight republican
tickets were marked at the head
and cross opposite the name of
G. Mackey, a vote was counted
for Mackey and neither of the
republican nominees for the
Legislature were counted. 1t is
a case where the voter voted for
three candidates for the legisla-
ture instead of two. such vote
was clearly contrary to the Aus
tralian Ballot Law and the in
structions on the ballot. The

One OF the surprises in the re-
cent election is the small vote
Watson received compared with
Parker. 1t has generally been
supposed that large per cent of
those voting with the fusion
crown were populist, but the re-
cent vote on candidates for presi-
dent shows that Parker receive d
nearly four votes to Watson's one
iii Nebraska. In Custer county
Watson received two votes to
Parkers one. Custer county gave
the largest vote for Watson of
any county i'll the state. Ia
Douglas county where twenty
two thousand votes were cast
there were only 283 cast for Wat
son and nearly seven thousand
cast for Parker and over fifteen
thousand for Roosevelt. Lam
caster county, the home of the
populist vice-presidential candi-
date only gave Watson 632 votes
of the ten thousand votes cast.

following in reference to it in its
issue of the l4th:
The Middle Loup Electric
Power Company proposes to con-
struct an immence electric power
plant at Comstock, Custer county

Looking for Il Party.

The democrats and pops are
discussing the future with no
little misgivings of what is the
best thing to do to attract I re-
spectacle following. The Inde-
pendent, published at Lincoln by
TibbleS, the late candidate for
vice-president, of the populist
ticket is among the number who
has taken the initiative in the
movement to find out what the
rank and file of the remnant Of
the populist party want to do.
He requests an answer through
the columns of his paper to the:
Question-Should the peoples
party maintain its national or.
ganization independent and
separate from all other organiza-
tions, or should it abandon its
organization and join with Mr..
Bryan and other reform demo-
Gratis in an effort to capture the
democratic organization as a
basis for building a reform party
for the campaign of 1908?
The light populist vote in the
state of Nebraska, the populist
stronghold, practically settles
the question OF maintaining the
populist party as national or
ganization. The people have
evidently become tired of the
party that subsists on calamity
and prosperous only when the
country is unfortunate in crops
or finance.
A very large per cent of the
populist following were honest
in their efforts to bring about Z
reform, as they deemed necessary
But when they became convinced
that their leaders were using
them to secure good positions fol
themselves instead of bringing
about the reform they promulgat
ed they withdrew their support
Some were not able to see tina
they were being buncoed by thei
leaders until Bryan took up thu
cause of Parker with the view o
landing them all into the demo
cratic camp. This was an ey,
opener that proved effective
Custer county refused to follow
his lead as the vote shows. Blu
il is evident Bryan's influence TO
Parker had something to do will
his large vote i'll this state, bu
he is not edtitled to all the credi
as there were very large pc
cent of the original democratic
that were in sympathy will

democracy aud they woul'
have voted for Parker witt
Bryan against him. There are ;
large number who vote the demo
cratic ticket regardless of the
issue that Bryan's attitude di,

that the democratic party has 81

state officers, with the exception
of Governor, in Custer county
runs from $40 to AIS. Lieut..
Governor McGilton is the only
one that falls below 400. Nor
Jensen leads with AIS, Galusha
is but two behind him with 473,
while Searle has 465. McBrien
is the lowest with 42S majority.
This would indicate that the
county is strongly republican on
general principles.

ONE ON SENATOR EcKERT.


A man was seen emerging from
one of the windows of the Hotel
Nezperce one morning this week
and those witnessing the occurance
hastily notified Landlord Treisch
that evidently one of his star board.
ers was making his exit, in prepara-
ton OF an early morning departure.
But the landlord, upon his arrival
instantly recognized State Senator
Eckert, who hastily explained the
situation, stating his room door
lock had become jammed in some
manner, thus forcing him into his
unpleasant predicament. He also
added that he had some hesitation
about making his exit in this un-
ceremonious fashion as being a resi-
dent of Camas prairie he was afraid
the town marshal would run him
in for porch climbing or house
breaking.-Nezperce Herald.

CITIZENS MEETING.

We wish to again call the attention OF
the citizens to the meeting to be held on
Tuesday, March Goth, for the purpose OF
nominating the new board of village
trustees. The meeting will be held in
the Creelman building next door to the
CHRONICLE Office and at that time the
citizens should unite to- select the best
possible timber for the new board. The
coming year promises to be an impor-
tant one for Cottonwood and it is of the
utmost Importance that the village gov
eminent be placed in the hands best
able to manage it. Regarding the pres
ent board we can say that its rule has
been good one. The village affairs
have been handled fairly and honestly
with Justice to all and partiality to none.
The board has been a conservative one
and has handled the village money care
fully and without waste. Let the new
board be chosen as cautiously and all
will 9e well.

this amount prove insufficient to
put IN water System such as we
would need we could easily call a
special assessment and raise our
property valuation from $4,000 TO
100000, thus giving us bonding
limit of $40, 900, an amount amply,
sufficient to put in water system
sufficient to meet all present re-
quirements. Lewiston adopted
this plan to raise the amount nee
essary to put in the present water
system there and no complaint can
ae heard over it. We confidently
believe that if it became necessary
tc raise over $1,000, to put in a
water system here there would be
very little objection to raising the
property valuation when the mat
ter was properly presented to the
people. In our present condition
it would not take very big fire to
destroy property worth twice or
three times the entire cost of a
city water system. Can we afford
to run the risk any longer?

Now that We are practically GER
tain Of railroad coming here and

were thinking seriously Of invest
ing in system Of water works?
When we look over our peetty little
city and see our nice school, our
three nice churches, our neat resi-
dences, our business blocks and our
several miles Of sidewalk it would
seem that the most important step
we could next take would be to
protect our little village from de-
struotion in case OF fire. 1t would
be both conservative and progress.
sive to put in city water. Conserv-
alive because it would be q means
of protecting us from losing all or
part Of our valuable property in
case of FIRE, because it would pro
vide us with pure, wholesome water
for town consumption and because
it would greatly reduce the present
high rate of fire insurance. Pro-
gressive because it would invite
people to invest here knowing their
property could be properly protect
sd, because with it we could beau
tify our town by growing lovely
lawns and sprinkling our streets
and because it can be installed as
cheadly now rs later. If Cotton
wood grows to be city of five or
six thousand population within
the next ten years, as has been
freely predicted by conservative
people who based their predictions
on our location and rich surround
ing country, water system will be
an absolute necessity. But why
wait six or eight years when we
can have 1t now as we'll. We can
put in small system at first,
enough to protect the town, and
enlarge it as the town grows. 9th
er places have followed this plan
and why not this2 Genesee has

water system comprising the lay
ing of over 1900 feet of water main,

good engine and pump, the con-
tract price being $14,175. Should

class, we could raise, computing on
