district attorney after one of the most
remarkable and dramatic campaigns
In history and in spite of being mixed
up in a four cornered fight which gave
him the triple handicap of machine op-
position, treachery in influential circles
and the extreme difficulties of having
many more than 100000 voters intelll-
gently split their tickets.
The board of aldermen is probably
in control of the Republicans, most of
whose candidates won by virtue of be
ing also Endorsed by the Municipal
Ownership party. This has been al
most foregone conclusion ever since
the Republicans stole march on Tam
many by getting the Endorsements Of
the Independent organization.
Tammany Hall has lost control of
three of the boroughs in the city gov
eminent. Coler, the nominee of the
Municipal Ownership party in Kings,
has been elected borough president;
Bermel. the nominee of the Republican
and Municipal Ownership parties in
Queens. has been elected borough presi-

along the line, electing their ticket by
a majority estimated at from $4,000 to

The vote in Philadelphia was the

The vote was so unexpectedly large

For Senator, Wins Easily.

For Senator, Wins Easily.
Trenton, n j., Nov 8.-The election
in New Jersey increased the Republic
an hold upon the state legislature and
makes it impossible for a Democrat to
succeed United States Senator John P.
Dryden in 1907 In the state senate
the Republicans made a gain of three,
electing Republicans from Gloucester,
Salem and Somerset counties, which
for the last three years have had Dem
ocratic senators. Only four of the
twenty-one state senators will be Dem
ocrats.
Everett Colby, the Independent Re-
publican in Essex county, whose fight
against the machine attracted wide in
terest, was swept into office by ma
jority which approached that which his
county gave Il year ago when the local
ticket had the help of the national
ticket to carry it along. Mr.. Colby won
by not less than 10000 He carried
his ticket through with him. The Re-
publican wave swept into Jersey City
again, and Mayor Pagan, despite the
active opposition of the Republican
machine, he being an Independent Re
publican of the Colby kind, was again
/ elected
/ The election in Monmouth swept the
local leader who wanted to be sheriff
out of his position, c. Asa Francis be-
/ ing defeated, although the candidate
/ for senator on the Republican ticket
with him went through by safe ma
jority.
Everett Colby is now considered by
many the leading figure in the state.
He stands alone in the senate, but his
fellow Republicans will be given a
chance to declare themselves early in
the next session. In the house he has
a delegation of eleven Of his own pick
ing, and it is believed that the three
members from Union and the five from
Passaic will fall into line with him.
That would give him almost one-third
of the house and in case of a factional
fight among the Republicans would
place the balance of power in the
hands of the Democrats, who by their
party platforms are bound to support
his ideas 1t is believed that if Col
by handles his opportunities properly
early in the session he will force safe
majority to support his measures in the
house and then carry them through the
senate
Jersey City got much excited over
the election. The mayoralty fight was
the bitterest election contest the city
has had in many years. Mayor Pagan
was out early. After voting In the
Fifth ward he visited the Second ward
to observe the operating of the voting
machines.
At the polling places in Brunswick
street and in Grove street he found
rubber bands on the levers over his
name He called the attention of the
election officers. The rubber bands
were around the mayors lever and the
lever which voted the name of the Re
publican candidate for alderman at
large, James w Mccarthy. The Nc
Carthy lever worked all right The
mayor says his lever jumped back
without registering 1t was nearly
o'clock when Mayor Pagan made the
second of these two discoveries. He
said he had probably lost a hundred
votes by the rubber band arrangement.
There was no evidence that the ma
chimes were not all right when they
left the Office of City Clerk Michael j.
O'Donnell.

The Height of Waves.

Owing 10 many causes the ocean Is
never still. The wind Is one of the
chief disturbers, for 1t gives rise to
waves. The effect of an ordinary storm
Is not felt below a depth Of fifty feet.
and beneath 100 feet the water can
only be disturbed by tides and under
currents. When you read Of waves
running mountains high" you may be
sure the writer has never seen a
mountain, but has fine flow Of words.
The usual height Of a wave In COM
mon storms seldom Is more than twelve
feet and In violent gales on the open
sea never exceeds fifty feet from
trough to crest and a length Of about
500 feet. In the south Pacific waves
forty three feet In height have been
measured, in the south Atlantic thir-
ty-nine feet, in the bay Of Biscay thir-
ty-six feet, in the North sea and the
Mediterranean thirteen feet. OF course
nearer land when driven furiously
against an obstacle, such as a light
house, waves often dash against the
top of the lighthouse. such as the Bell
Rock 100 feet, and INST, in the Shet-
lands, 200 feet. But In the deep sea,
even in a bowling tempest, they never
run higher than fifty feet, which would
be a very poor mountain.-New York

HOW BROKERS WORK.
Four Different Kinds of Operators
Who Execute Orders.

Let's see what a broker Is exactly.
He's the man whose services you must
seek If you wish to buy or sell stocks.
You can't do a thing In Wall street
without that broker. You can't fill
your own orders In Wall street any
more than you can fill your own teeth.
The broker Is to you as speculator
what dentist Is to you as man with
a toothache.
Now, operations on the floor Of the
Stock Exchange are conducted by four
groups-first, by individual spectators
who trade on their own account, and
these of course are members of the ex-
change; second, by brokers who lend
money for banks: third by commission
houses which buy and sell bonds and
stocks for persons not members OF the
exchange, and. fourth, by specialists
who are also called floor brokers, and
oftentimes dollar brokers" or two
dollar brokers'" and who execute or
ders for commission houses. In turn
commission houses are Of two kinds
those that conduct one home office and
many branch offices connected by prl-
vate wire, and those that conduct
local and mail business.
To the broker In one of these classes
your order Is given. In executing your
orders and those Of others the brokers
earnings may be any sum from $l0-
more usually $100-to thousands day

price MT. Hapke, after consultation
 with MT. Myers. decided to raise to
 S4.50. The reason for the raise was
 that the market price in other commu
 mites paid for the raw material is $4,50, and it is MT. Hapke's desire to pay the farmers of this valley as much as ranchers of other sections are receiving. This point also brought out the fact that ever ything possible will be done during the first few years to work to the advantage of the ranchers.
 It is one of the plans of the compa- ny to bring into the valley a number of laborers who have a knowledge of the cultivation of sugar beets. The company will control this labor. but it will be used on ranches where con tracts nave been made in which the cost of cultivation is guaranteed to be below a certain amount by the compa- ny. To secure these workmen, MT. Hapke will leave shortly for the coast. Japanese will probably be imported into the valley, but if they can not be secured, then white labor from the east will be contracted for. The plan of the company is to guarantee the farmer who contracts to plant beets that his labor will cost him not oyer a certain amount and make it possible for him to figure the exact cost of raising his crop. The arrangement also works to the advantage of the Sugar company, for in being in charge of the labor it Is assured that the beets will have attention at the time of the sea- son they need it. The farmers must make a success of the raising of the sugar beets if the factory is to be a success.
 The first year it is MT. Hapke's de- sire to have about 4,000 acres of beets harvested, and the second year of the life of the factory it is his desire to see the acreage doubled. He spoke of the rain of the past few days, and said that if the precipitation was this much in November each year the wa ter question as far as sugar beets are would be settled.
 This afternoon a meeting of the Ari- zona creditors of the old Sugar compa- ny will be held and their claims in some manner not yet determined taken over by the reorganized company. The title to the plant will then be where operations on the grounds can be com

PRICE GOES HIGHER
 ON SUGAR BETS
Voluntary Raise Made By nr. Theo-
 dore Hapke.

Theodore Hapke, of the Eastern Sugar company, spent the second day of his stay in the city driving over the valley, talking contracts with local builders and in consultation with Judge Ainsworth, his counsel. Much was accomplished towards closing the preliminary details necessary to the success of his project, and by tomor- row night MT. Hapke anticipates that ne will have bids in his hands for the construction of the factory building.
 The most important detail of the day, however, was tho change in the price to be paid by the sugar company to the farmers for the sugar beets. Heretofore several contracts had been signed and many others agreed to in which the price to be paid for beets showing a test of from 12 to 14 per cent sugar was to be $4 a ton. This
