Results IN Other Towns.

Montpelier and Pocatello were
the only towns in the state IN which
the election Tuesday was conducted
on party lines. In Weiser, Cald-
well, Nampa, Mountain Home, Ida
no Falls and Mackay the issues
were principally gambling and anti
gambling, but the contests were
waged on non-partisan lines. In
each Of those towns the fight was
decidedly warm and much hard feel
ing was engendered between the ac-
tive supporters Of the two policies.
The liberal or open town policy won
in Idaho Falls, Nampa and Mountain
Home, while Caldwell, Mackey and
Welser voted for rigorous anti
gambling policy.

Good Assay from the Claire.

Monday J. A. Rostan~ received a
report of an assay made by the
American Smelling & Refining Co.,
OF Murray, on some ore taken at
random from the bottom of the
present workings at the Claire. The
assay gave return of l8 ounces in
silver and 1917 per .ent copper.
Within the last 80 feet the ore in
the Claire has gained about 10 per
cent in copper and l2 ounces in sill
yer. As the shaft goes down the
ore continues to improve, and lndi-
cations become more favorable for
striking body of ore that will re.
suit in making the Claire dividend
paying property. A fan is being
put in this week to supply fresh air
to the men while at work, and de-
velopment work will then be pushed
with renewed vigor.

SUPT. MANSON HERE.
He Met with Commercial Club Wed
nesday and Talked About Wa
ter Works.

kouPSli AuatoOI auN lZiVi~
sion Engineer Congdon spent an
hour IN our city Wednesday morn
ing and upon invitation met with
the Commercial club for the pur-
pose of talking over the water works
question. Mr.. Manson stated that
the railroad company had abandoned
the JOS Gap proposition for the
reason that it had been determined
that the water supply there was not
sufficient to meet the demands. He
also stated that the company would
be glad to make contract with the
city for water in case the latter put
in a water system.
The company uses at this point
about 100000 gallons of water
day, and the revenue the city would
derive from the company was rough
ly estimated at $1,000 year. After
statement by Mayor Williams, Of
the steps that have been taken by
our citizens and the favorable pros
poets of the city voting bonds at an
early date for water works, Mr..
Manson said that he would take the
question up with the higher officials
and recommend that further action
upon the part of the company be
postponed until it was determined
whether or not the city would Vote
bonds for a water plant.
When asked what the prospects
were for new depot in Montpelier,
Mr.. Manson replied that the town
had been on the list for new depot
for seven years, but he didn't know
when 1t would be built. He stated,
however, that there were no pros
poets of it being erected this year.
The plans that have been prepared
call for the erection OF a handsome
passenger depot, with depot park.
The present building will be re-
moved north of It's present site and
used exclusively for freight office.
Just be patient" said Mr.. Manson,
"and you will have new depot
here one of these days
The meeting, although a shoxt
one, was fraught with much good.
After business matters were con-
eluded some little time was spent in
social conversation. Messrs. Man.
son and Congdon were introduced
to several of our business men, and
the club extended cordial invita-.
tlon to Mr.. Manson and all other
railroad officials to visit the club
rooms upon the occasion OF their
future visits to our city, with the
view OF becoming better acquainted
with our citizens and thus establish
more cordial and friendly relations
between the Short Line officials and
our business men.

THEY .sSKINNED" US.
The Democrats Eject a Majority Of
the Ticket--Tie on Two Coun-
cilmen--Heavy Vote Cast.

tuesday, ana resulted In ueclueU
victory for the democrats. Up to
Tuesday morning apparently but
very little interest had been taken,
and it was wholly matter of con-
lecture on the part of the leaders of
the two par ties as to what extent
the people would vote their party
tickets. Baslng their estimates on
the result Of the election last No
vember ,the republicans had reason
! to believe that they would elect at
least the big end of the ticket, and
the result, in the main, was some
what of a surprise to them.
The election board did not keep
record of the straight republican
and straight democratic ballots cast
and therefore we are unable to say
how mary Of the 495 votes cast
were straight party votes.
With all of the scratching that
was done, Gray, Holmes, Stewart
and Barrett ended the race about
neck and neck, while Bucher, for
surveyor, came under the wire sever
al lengths ahead of the balance of
the ticket.
In the first ward Cruikshank and
Rich were easy winners.
In the second ward 1T was a quite
mix. up for all the councilmen, and
the four candidates are pretty we'll
punched. Frank Jones beat Burrell
by votes, while the two Henrys-
Douglas and Whltman-are a tie
and will have to draw for the prize.
In the third ward Redman and
Hughart have very comfortable
maiorities to their credit.
The day was an ideal one, and by
noon the candidates and party
workers got warmed up pretty we'll,
and the result was that the vote was
the largest ever cast at a city elee-
ton.
We are unable to give the vote
by wards on the head of ticket as
the judges did not separate the bal
lots by wards in counting. The
total vote for the several candidates,
as taken from the talley sheet at the
close of the count, is as follows:
Williams dem ......... 275-6O
Gray, rep. ....... ......215
CLERK
Harris, dem .....-.... .254-3o

INTERPRETATIONS HE.IRD
 IT NOME.

Judge Wickersllain IS q dangerous man, the tendencies of an autocrat. \ man that loves power for the opportunities which !t brings, he Is without the com peusating qualities which would make him a safe or desirable man to All any position of power or trust. Not lacking III self-assertiveness nor iuhued with w.ol, ss estimate of his own abilities, he would build up little oiigSrchy of his own to crush all those who might hay the temerity to oppose hls vi, hes or de- siles-alId reward his henchu en with what little largesse he chose to dole out to them
 Charges of the most serious nature that have ever been urged against judi ciai officer ill Alaska have been made, iterated and reiterated by the Rampant Forum, Judge Wickersham being the target, No attempt, so far as this news paper is informed, has been made to T. flute them. Therefore, it IS believed, that in view of the recent "compliea- tions" that have arisen between Brady and wickersham. the president could not do better than eliminate both from off i- ciai life.--Fyom a1 s4siioriai m Me Aome Axggff.
 It is quite true that charges. as stated, have been made, iterated aud reiterated by the Rampant Fo- rum, until, indeed. ii is suggestive of slot machine wherein the drop ping of coin, will start the dolcful grinding of the same old tune again. One could almost wish that the president would accept the Mug gets view. just to see if lhe old automaton would strike up live. lies air.
 But it Is probable that neither the Forums iteration nor the Mug gets suggestion will carry much influence one way oF the other. Judge Wlekersbam's oiacial eon. duct must speak iog ltssuf. and W la extremely hksly that shs assnleng ~sll place his owu saies psetaslen on what ss has sp say
