THE NEW SIOUX CITY WAY.

From Sioux City. Of all places in
allegedly effective innovation in meth
DDS of vote polling. Up there where
the Missouri river and Uncle George
Perkins keep their majestic courses
and constitute most of the natural
advantages and attractive scenery Of
the place. canvassing candidates tempt
the floating vote and stay their sup
porters, not with fagons, but with
apples and shoestrings. Instead of
Mikes Place and the Turf Ex-
change" the Dago fruit stand! In
stead of diamond bedizened barkeeps,
the little Dago man in the second
hand trousers that belonged originally
to tall man and the plaintive voiced
cripple at the corner with "shoe-
strings, two for five!" No more the
bursts of Honneric laughter from the
long line at the bar, and the cries of
Hes all right From Sioux City
comes the hiss of wheezy aspiration
as fat men thread the eyelets of their
shoes and low salivary sound of
munching. Apples and shoestrings!
Apples-gracious Heavens!--and shoe
strings! What may we not expect as
the fruits of this new departure?
1t would be interesting if the influ-
ences of these new elements injected
into politics might be traced and the
results attained by them separated and
analysed. In Woodbury. was the apple
vote for Cummins? 1t is reasonable
to suppose that the "shoestring" vote
went with the 'ttin-horn," saloon"
and bolter vote to the democratic can
date.
Hereafter in Sioux City when can
didates open a barrel it will be
barrel of Greetings, Jonathans, or
mayhap Willow Twigs. All "shoe-
strings will be confined to footwear
and visitors to Sioux City may expect
to see side by side on the windows of
that famous little front office" the
strange devices of a bunch of shoe
strings rampant and an apple couchant
charged with tooth marks near it's
northwest corner.
But while on the subject Of apples,
it might be noted that this year "there
wasn't any core"

Some Time,

00W8
Last night. my darling, as you slept
thought heard you sigh,
And to your little crib crept
And watched space thereby.
And then I stopped and kissed you
brow.
For. oh, I love you So!
You are too young to lnow 1t now.
But some time you shall know.
Some time. when in larkened place,
Where others come t, weep.
Your eyes shall look upon q face
Calm Ia eternal sleep;
The speechless lips. the wrinklsd brow.
The patient smile shal show
You ere too young to know it now,
But some time you sllall know.
Look backward then irto the years
And see me here hight;
See, oh, my darling, how my tears
Are falling as write
And feel once more upon your brow
The kiss Of long ago.
You are too young to l;now 1t now,
But some time ecu ST all know.

| Tenth district twelve out of fourteen
| counties returned republican pluralitie:
and every one of them sent Cum
Minis delegation to the convention. The
| two which went democratic have al
| ways been democratic.
Likewise, in the Eleventh, where
| Perkins lives, Cummins carried ter
| and lost three in the convention fight
| and every one of his ten went repub-
lican in this election, while the other
three went democratic, altho they are
normally republican counties.
In the Seventh the two counties
which were for Cummins in the con-
| vention returned republican pluralities
| while the other three anti's went
democratic, as did Dallas, over which
there was contest in the convention.
All are normally republican.
The Sixth was less decisive, but
similar. Two anti counties went DEM
ocratic and Jasper and Wapello, both
Of which sent contesting delegations
to Des Moines, did the same. altho
three of the four are normally repub-
lican.
Pottawattamie county toted fair in
the Ninth, refusing to brandish a
tomahawk under a flag of truce, and
returned republican plurality. Glass;
altho anti in the convention, was car
ried for Cummins by the aid of DEM
ocrats, leading democratic newspaper
supporting him in the election. Seven
counties went republican, two demo-
cratic. Three of the seven were for
Cummins in the convention.
In the Second Scott. the only solid
Cummins county in the convention,
went republican. Clinton and Jackson.
which were divided in the convention,
went democratic, while of the other
three, all anti in the convention, two
went democratic.
Studied county by county and dis
trict by district, the returns indicate
that almost every anti-Cummins
standpatter in Iowa voted for Porter
in this election. There were some ex-
ceptions, but the returns don't show
them. Out of forty-five anti ummins
counties the' governor got plhralities
from only eleven, aggregating less
than 5000 votes. Nor did the loudly
detained democratic support of Cum
minis nlaterialize. He did not carry a
single normally democratic county in
the state. Even in the Second and
Eleventh districts, reported democratic
support does not appear, unless it was
absorbed in greater standpat bolt
than is indicated by the returns. A
great many Independents voted for
Cummins in every county, unquestion-
ably, and they helped to overcome the
machine boilers, but gains in known
strongholds do not appear
in the returns. Had Cun1nins been
forced to go to the people with his
boiling opposition, presenting boilers
ticket in the open, it would now APP
pear that he would have polled prac-
tically every republican vote that he
did poll and would have commanded
the support of Independent voters in
even greater numbers. did Blythe
know this at Des Moines in August:
Such is the study in harmony. The
Cummins party is the republican party
in Iowa, whether or no.

PROPOSED FOUR
STORY LOG HOTEL
Grants Pass May Have a Bis
Log Structure-Furnit of
Home Manufa cture.

That Grants Pass is to have erected
next year a four-tory modern hotel
with the best equipment and service
Of any bostlerv in the state outside OF
Portland is the firm conviction OF
those directly interested in the move
ment. Plans of the structure have
been received and are ON exhibition
at Rotermund's.
The site selected is the block
bounded by E and F, snd Eighth and
Ninth streets, with the front entrance
on Eighth street. The building as
planned is to be 106xlS4 feet, which
includes an 1S-foot veranda. This
veranda will extend around the four
sides of the building and the entire
four stories, and the structure is to
occupy the center of the block So feet
from the sidewalk on all sides, this
space to be in lawn with trees and
shrubbery. The novel feature is that
the building will be constructed Of
logs surfaced on three sides but the
outside will have the appearance of a
log structure. The: furnishings are to
be in the Mission style and all of the
furniture is to be manufactured In
Grants Pass. The first floor will con.
tain Office, lobby, grill. kitchen and
several suites; the second floor suites
and the third and fourth floors single
rooms. Of which there will be about
so in all.
The promoters of the enterprise say
that it is certainty as a large por.
tion of the necessary 90, 900 or $50, 900
has been promised and they have an
offer for a 10 year lease at good
figure with guarantee of netting
the stockholders at least per cent on
their investment.
It would be hard to estimate the
value OF such building to Grants
Pass as an advertisement, but some
idea can be formed when ii is remem-
bered that the most imposing build
ing at the Lewis q Clarke fair and
the one which attracted the greatest
attention was the forestry building,
constructed entirely of logs. Grants
Pass needs greater hotel accommoda-
tions as even at this season of the
year the hotels ara crowded and have
to seek accommodations for their
guests at private and rooming houses.

Books for Sch ool Libraries.

County School uperintendent
Savage has received 6S7 books to be
divided among the 40 school districts
of the county to form nucleus for q
library or to add to the library al.
ready started.
The state law provides the collection
OF tax of at least 10 cents per pupil
in each district per year. for the
general school library fund for the
county and this money is spent for
library books which are in charge of
the school officers of the district and
in the care of librarian appointed
by the county superintendent. The
selection of books rests with the d.
rectors Of the district, with the aid OF
the teacher but if they neglect to
make the selection it rests with the

state library commission
Superintendent Savage now has the
orders of the various districts segre-
gated and the books are ready for de-
livery as soon as the Librarians have
been appointed and confirmed. The
proportion of books for the Grants
Pass schools amounts to something
like 300, which will make splendid
