We would be pleased if some
person in each precinct in Gus
ter county next Tuesday night
after the votes are counted,
would take the trouble to send
US the result of their respective
precinct as soon as possible. By
so doing it will enable US to
compile and publish complete
returns of the county without
having to wait until the official
count ten days after election.
Who will attend to this matter !:

HOW TO VOTE.

The new form of ballot is sure
to puzzle some voters. A cross
placed in the large circle below
the name of any political party
votes that ticket straight, and a
cross after the name of each can
didate is not necessary. If the
voter intends to vote almost a
straight ticket time can be saved
by making cross in the large
circle and then scratching, in
other words, marking out the
names of the candidates he or
she does not wish to vote for on
the ticket below the circle in
which the cross is placed, and
making cross in the circle op-
posite the names the voter wish
es to vote for on any other tick
ct. The reason for scratching
ought to be obvious to every one.
The X in the large circle means
that the entire ticket is voted,
and if a candidate on another
ticket is voted for without
scratching the name of his op-
ponent on the ticket below the
large circle in which a cross is
placed, two candidates for that
cffice would be voted for, and in
that case neither could be count
ed. The explanation on the bal,
lot is likely to confuse voters.
IIf YOU do not use the large cir
Gle at the top, don't scratch, but
vote lust the same as you did or
the old form of ballot-place 9
cross in the circle to the right ot
the name of the candidate yot
wish to vote for. Remember
that if you make q cross in ;
large circle at the top of the
ticket and then vote for candl
dates on another ticket, you mus
scratch out the names OF thu
candidates you do not wish t.
vote for on the ticket underneath
that large circle. But if you ar
not sure that you know how t.
make out your ticket if you d'
not wish to vote straight, leav
the large circle alone and MAX
an X in the circle to the right O
the name of each candidate yo
wish to vote for. Then you ca
make no mistake. If you are
straight-ticket-voter all you hav
to do is to place an X in the bi
, circle at the head of your ticket

Challis precinct will probably
cast the largest vote of any pre-

Last week 252 names were reg

so democratic majority on the
National and State tickets, but
the county tickets will be badly
scratched, but small democrat
ic majority on all the candidates
except about four. Custer coun-
ty will give a majority of 125 on
the National and State demo

democratic ticket will pull out
with 75 majority, except three
and possibly four republican,
who will be elected.

VLADlVOSTOK FLEET.
Details of Ships In Russia's Fly Ing


Details of Ships In Russia's Fly Ing
Squadron.
First among Russias still untouched
resources must be reckoned the Vladi-
vostoz flying squadron, of which we
have heard SO much, says Charles
Johnston in Harper's Weekly.
The biggest ship in the Vladivostok
squadron is the GromObOi, Of 1886
tons displacement, and therefore heav-
Ter by $500 tons than the heaviest
cruiser in the Japanese feet, and out
stripping our own heaviest cruiser by
an even greater amount. She has g.
primary battery of four eight-inch
quick firing guns in armor classmates,
supported by sixteen siX-inch quick
firing guns and no less that forty eight
of lesser caliber, with five torpedo
tubes. This big ship can do twenty
knots and is exceeded in weight by
only four cruisers in the British navy,
there being nothing else of her class to
equal her elsewhere in the navies Of
the world.
Second in the Vladivostok squadron
comes the Rossia, launched three years
earlier and within 200 tons OF the same
displacement. She has also four eight
inch and sixteen six-inch quick firing
guns and forty-eight of lesser caliber.
She has a belt Of armor five to eight
inches thick, but her batteries are not
so we'll guarded as those Of her bigger
sister. She can also do about twenty
knots, which would take her across
the Atlantic in about six days. This
ship has six torpedo tubes. Of less
speed is the Rurik, displacing 11,O0G
tons, or about 1900 more than Japan's
best cruiser She has similar arma-
ment, though not quite SO extensive,
and only four torpedo tubes.
Add the Bogatyr, built in Germany,
much lighter, but also much faster
ship, doing twenty-three knots, and
thus able to keep up with the fastest
ocean greyhound. She displaces $500
tons and has twelve six-inch quick fir
ing guns and eighteen Of less weight.
This new and rapid ship will doubtless
scout for the squadron, and there are
only four Japanese ships, all cruisers
Of less tonnage, that could keep up
with her. The work Of this Vladivos-
tok squadron will be to attempt to pre-
vent Japan landing troops anywhere
on the outer coast Of Korea.

A Jewish view Of Inspiration.

The question Of revelation Is always
involved In discussion concerning the
contents of the Bible. The ambiguity
of this term would be removed IL the
idea of the supernatural were detached
from it. The old theology must GER
tainly count with the indisputable fact
that the personal characteristics, the
temper and disposition and the variable
range of intellectual culture and spir-
itual insight are the inseparable condi-
tons controlling every manifestation
of human intelligence. When 1t is con-
ceded that the Bible speaks in the Ian
guage of man the idea Of q miraculous
revelation is abandoned.
In the case of the Hebrew prophets
the nature of the psychological process
melting their oracular messages is not
difficult to understand. The intensity
and clearness of their moral and re-
ligious convictions and the irresistible
urgency to proclaim them they felt as
an impelling force not their own, but
coming from a higher source. Jere-
miah and Ezekiel in less enthusiastic
state of mind acknowledge that the d.
vine law is written upon the heart. In
fact, every liberation Of thought is a
revelation. Spiritual experience can
be nothing else than the best and no.
blest thoughts that the wise and good
In every age have felt and taught

Preparing Land For wheat.

Where the ground is to be plowed for
wheat it is essential that 1t be done
early in the season even II the ground
is dry and the plowing little hard. l
have seen men wait because the ground
was dry and hard for rain until late
in the fall, and about nine times out OF
ten they fail to get crop. There Is no
crop that the average farmer grows
that requires more skill than does
wheat. The nature of the wheat plant
must be studied and then everything
possible be done to make Its abiding
place congenial. The seed bed for
wheat must be fine, firm and covered
with a blanket of fine earth In which
to deposit the seed. These instructions
have been given so often that 1t seems
almost useless to repeat them.
The amount of work to be done up
On q field after 1t has been plowed Will
to a certain extent be governed by the
weather, but seldom Is field worked
too much. 1t is good plan after the
field looks as II 1t is In perfect condition
to give 1t an extra working. It Is
usually this extra work that makes the
top bushels the next harvest.-Cor. Ma
tional Stockman.
