London Built on sponse..

One could surely find no worse
ground to build upon than a bed of
sponses such as we use for the bath.
And yet London has for its subsoil
only sponges, although we call them
dints. Once they grew as sponges do
now in salt water shadows, and they
are found in layers petrlned among
the chalk Of southern England. The
Thames valley chalk has been melted
like so much sugar and carried away
With the running waters, but the tiints
have been left behind, and on these the
whole city of London has found its
excellent foundations.

The Valley County Election Contests

St~enographer Russell, of the district
court, who has just. returned from

county election contest cases were dis.
missed by Judge Henry c. Smith,
after a hearing that occupied several
days. The contests involved the Of.
fees of sheriff, assessor and county
attorney of Valley county.
the ballots of the fourteen precincts of
the county, as out OF the total number
complaint had been made that in only
two precincts had the law been COM
piled with in regardto returning the bal
lots to the clerks Office. No evidence
of fraud or tampering with the ballot
boxes was found aud on the recount
Kerr, republican candidate for county
attorney, gained five votes, Tweedie
II for assessor. Griftith's vote for
sheriff was the same. The count
showed that Griffith was elected by 80
majority, Kerr by Is and Tweedie by
AZ.
The ground for objection by the
contestants against Poplar precinct
was because the polling place was on
the Fort Peck Indian r%eserv alton, be-
ing also on the Great Northern right
of.way. The court held, however, that
the polling place having been estab-
lished there and the electors having
voted, the precinct could not be thrown
out after the votes had been counted,
even though the law forbidding the es-
Establishment of a precinct on an Indian
reservation should be held to be con
| stitutiOnal.

the case of the Montana Cooperative
Ranch company, against which q fraud
order a recently issued. Sam
H. Woods, of Great Falls, who is
vice president of the concern, through
his attorney, Jesse +. Root, claims
that the evidence the assistant attor.
ney.general of the postofice depart
ment. upon which the fraud order was
issued, was not fair to the company
nor to himself individually. He
claims that not only all of the Ranch
company mail is being held up, but
also that OF a personal nature and
other mail addressed to him in care of
certain business houses with which he
has dealings and interests. Senator
Clark has been assured by the depart.
ment that the case would be reviewed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The follow.
Ing statement was made tonight: In

gress, it was necessary for the appli
cant, when he made his application, t,
take an oath that the land was not ia
ken for speculative purposes, but TO
his own use, and that no one else wa
directly or indirectly interested in tn
purchase.
Cobban and his associates prepares
all these afidavits and paid all expeu
SEES and $3.50 an acre for the land, an
payr these narSOns from &1m RI @15
apiece for false swearing aud entry
There were lO2 persons, men ana VIC
men, indicted and a number of Indie,

All these lands, about 1900 acres
