TALK SUCCESSOR
TO HOUGHTON
POLITICIANS OF SIXTH WARD
GET BUSY
DEMOCRATS HOLD FULL SWAY
Republican Organization May Join
With other Side In Electing
a Suitable Man to FIJI
Vacancy

Politicians in the sixth ward are busy
discussing and planning for the COM
ing campaign to select ex-Councilman
Houghton's successor. Among Hough-
toms old supporters there is not the
unison that once prevailed; at least,
q few of those who shouted loudest for
the ex-representative of the Sixth, both
in the recall campaign and the last mu-
nicipal election, are said to be willing
to face the starter in the coming race
Judge II. G.. Hentig, one of the orig
inal Houghton men, 1t is said, has
desire rather well established to see
how chair in the city council cham
ber would fit. The councilmanic bee Is
buzzing around many of the heads of
prominent Sixth ward clubites.
The Democrats are busy. Capt.
George M. Cake of the Democratic city
central committee has seized the op-
portunity literally by the forelock, and
expects to have the Democrat commit
teemen of the ward organized for busi-
ness in day or two.
Just who the choice of the Demo-
Gratis will be is not yet known, but the
committeeman are considering the
names of several strong men. Poll
ticians throughout the city declare that
the nomination of Democrat. well and
favorably known in the ward, means
victory for that party in the coming
contest
Aspirants for the Republican nomi-
nation in the ward are busy, but the
organization has not yet taken action
and it is limited that it will join
forces with the Democrats in an effort
to elect a man to represent the Sixth
ward in the council.
In the recent municipal election the
two parties split the vote of the con-
servative element in the ward and thus
allowed Houghton to be elected. The
Republicans admit the Sixth ward is
Democratic, and many men prominent
in that party have declared themselves
in favor of leaving the field clear to the
apostles of Thomas Jefferson.

A RELIABLE FERRY AT LAST.


Atlast a frst-class ferry has been
provided at this point on the Mis-
souri, riyer-thanks to the enter
prise, liberality and perseverance Of
the merhants and others of Wash
burn and the cooperation Of the
500 railway people. This will be
good news to the people of Mercer
and Oliver counties. The cut pub
lished herewith gives but fair
idea of the new craft that has come
from Fort Pierre to this point at
great cost to fill a long felt want.
The name of the ferry is "Scotty
Philip" and it promises to fulfill all
the expectations and requirements
of our people on both sides of the
river. This boat will cross at one
time twelve teams and wagons with
out unhitching and will safely ferry
$50 head of cattle to each, load.
While it is an expensive craft to

1KNERAL ENGAGEMENT SEEMS
PROBABLE BEFORE PEACE
NEGOTIATIONS BEGIN.
oYAnA's STRATEGIC POSITION STRONG
JAPANESE OPPOSED TO sUsPEN.
SION OF HosTILlTlEs At
THE PRESENT TIM1.

st. Petersburg, June 21.-The only
hope for an armistice pending the
meeting of the peace plenipotentiaries
seems to rest with President Roose-
velt and even that is considered slen-
der. So far as known the president
has not taken a positive step in this
direction. The impression here con-
tinues strong that Japan only with
great reluctance could be induced to
forego the advantages of her strategic
position which, despite the tone of the
official advices from the front, are re-
garded as being altogether favorable
to Field Marshal Oyama, and agree to
a suspension of hostilities for at least
six weeks, during which time thou
sands of reinforcements would reach
General Linevitch and Vladivostok
would be strengthened with munitions
and supplies to Withstand a siege. In
deed, it is suggested that Japan delib-
erately planned to postpone the meet
ing long enough to give Oyama a
chance to administer to the Russians
q fresh defeat ON land in order to rob
the war party In Russia of their last
card and facilitate acquiescence to her
terms. Considering the situation.
therefore, President Roosevelt's tri-
umph viii be. all the greater II he
could nov succeed in crowning his
work by p agreement which would at
least prSVent another bloody battle

Washburn, the 500 people, the city
of Washburn, and others, have ex-
perimented with all sorts of cable
and gasoline ferries, but without
success. All, have been failures.
The fees will now be a trihe higher
than before, but the service will be
SO reliable and SO far superior that
the new rates will seem insignifi-
cant compared with the benefits.
The new ferry will run constantly,
wind, rain or shine, from sunrise to
sunset, and there will be no more
uncertainties, no more vexatious
delays. The good people of Wash
burn have gone down deep into

tration plant just now to the ordinary Wis
itor is the clean water bed, which looks
very much like a great mammoth cave.
This bed has a cement floor and pillars
and roof. In fact, every inch of exposed
surface in the bed is of cement. In the
dim twilight that prevails in this great
cement chamber the immense pillars that
support its roof appear like giant stalactites,
and the avenues between them appear to
extend a vast distance. The workmen on
the plant have named this clear water bed
The Cave of the Thousand Devils" and
there is good reason for the title. Stand
ing at the foot of the temporary wooden
stairway leading down TO the floor of the
bed, the lghtest whisper is taken up by
the echoes of the chamber and repeated
back and forth from pillar to pillar and
from wall to wall as if a horde of little
imps were sending malicious mutterngs to
and fro. word spoken in an ordinary
tone of conversation becomes a converse
ton that lasts more than half minute,
and a shout a yell swells into abso-
lutte pandemonium of cries and screams.

who possess extraordinarily good voices,
and sometimes they descend into the Gave
of the Thousand Devils and sing. The

Washington's great filtration plant will
be in operation in September. That is the
confident prediction of the engineer in
charge, and the work Is being pushed in a
manner that seems to indicate the fulfill
ment Of the prediction. Two weeks ago
the work was resumed after the unavoidable
delay caused by the long, hard winter, and
will be rushed all summer with the maxi
mum force of men that can be utilized.
visit to the filtration plant just at this
time IS well worth the trouble. More men
are being taken on every day, as the OPP
portunities for their employment increase,
and from two hundred working on the plant
two weeks ago the force has grown to six
hundred. The maximum last year was
about fourteen hundred, and later, when
things are running smoothly, this large to-
tai will be exceeded.
There Is hustle and hustle and activity
on every side al the plant these days. In
several of the filter beds steam shovels are
still busily excavating, in others further
along toward completion, the product of
the immense concrete mixer is being poured
into the board molds to form the pillars
of the sand beds; in others carpenters are
tearing away the frame work, leaving the
