SPIRITED TODAY
Big fighs is on in the Second
and Third Wards Against
Present Incumbents

Voters in the Second and Third
wards today have an opportunity OF Sc
curing free rides. The occasion is the
spirited contest in the First ward in
opposition to the reelection Of Eben
Mounce. therefore no carriage rides.
The friends OF Geo. Erb who are OPP
posing the election of NJ. Scully in the
Second ward are working systemati-
cally and ii IL said that there Is every
prospect OF a large vote being polled
The friends Of Mr.. Scully are equally
active in his behalf and the odds are
about even i'm betting circles. II Is not
possible to forecast the result but those
who seem to be thoroughly posted on
the situation at o'clock claim the
election of Mr.. Erb by fat majority
Scully men are on hand and are willing
to bet that their opinion is wrong. The
count tonight will set at rest the con-
victions.
In the Third ward the fight is not &C
spirited where f. W. Wing is endeav-
oring to secure the seat Of the present
incumbent Mr.. Colby. The Wing peo-
pie are declaring that they have the
election hands down in favor Of their
man but the Colby workers have been
active and seem to feel no concern over
the result. The polls will close tonight
at o'clock.

MUST REPAIR
THE ROAD
Recent Scene of Drowning !.
Subject for Investigation
and Comment

The recent drowning of Elmer Taylor
IN the Snake river below Charleston
while riding along the road is creatins
considerable comment in this city as
well as Charleston. 1t has been stated
that II more attention had been given
to the condition Of this road that the
accident would likely have not hap
pened and the condition Of the road
which is still dangerous may be the
cause Of more loss at the same place.
Parties who came over this road few
minutes before young Taylor and his
companions last Friday state that the
had a similar experience but were for
tunate to direct their horses properly
before any damage was done.
1t has been suggested that the COM
missioners Of Asotin county as well as
the business interests Of Lewiston and
Charleston to have this road investigat-
ed and placed in proper condition. 1t is
becoming known to the residents along
the Alpowa that the road is bad and
for this reason many who would come
here to transact their business will 60
to Pomeroy instead. But small sum
would be needed to place the road in
shape and 1t is urged that this be done
in order to avoid any further loss of life
as well as for the business interests OF
the community.
