returns from two precincts, it is i'm

majority but 1 believe it will run be-

1.-The defeat of P. B. Hawley for
treasurer and Walter Cadman for as
SCISSOR, are unexplainable mysteries
to me, but it shows there was a large
independent vote cast yesterday all
over the county.
1.-The race between Mr.. Hawley and
Mr.. Honeycutt was largely a matter
of personality as was also the candi-
dacy Of Toner and Cadman. On the
whole the republicans have cause to
feel elated over the outcome of the
election"
Huffman Surprised Them.
The defeat of ]. J. Schiffner by
Judge Huffman for justice of the
peace was one Of the surprises Of yes
terday's election and is keenly felt
by the moral element and a majority
Of the labor organizations who were
behind Schiffner.
1t was noticeable early yesterday
morning that there was a change Of
sentiment in favor of Huffman which
increased as the hours passed by and
friends of Huffman had an opportu-
nifty Of working among voters.
With the exception of one or two
law firms, Huffman had the entire bar
association behind him and almost the
solid vote of the saloon interests.
The moral people made a strenuous
effort to turn the tide, but with poor
success, except in Clarke and Whit
man precincts, where Schiffner polled
a majority. Fremont and Stevens pre-
cincts gave Huffman a majority of 124.
Schiffner made his big gains in Clarke
precinct, polling $50 votes to Huff
mans 119. Huffman's majority in the
eight precincts was 1S1.

North Coast Promoter Gets RIGHTS
Of Way for ;l00
IS NOW WORKING TOWARD pAsco
IN MANY PLACES FARMERS CIV
ING NEW ROAD ENCOUR.
ACEMENT.

Agents for Robert E. Strahorn, pres
ident of the North Coast Railroad
company, are working down the lower
valley of the Yakima river toward
Pasco, and are tying up the lands of
the farmers on right-o f-way contracts
at an expenditure of 81 each, says
the Seattle Times. At the junction of
the Yakima and Columbia rivers, Stra-
horns agents nave had to pay cash
the land owners refusing to accept the
contract offered by North Coast repre-
sentatives.
This contract. which is presented in
printed FORM provides for the grant
of a 1OO-foot right-of- way for con-
sideration of 81 in cash, providing
further that the railroad Is released
from all liabilities on account of the
construction of the railroad across the
grantees lands. This precludes all
possibility of damage suits growing
out of the construction of the road.
Right of-Way Without Cost.
In the Sunnyside valley tine North
Coast has secured without cost con-
siderable grant of land for right-of-
way purposes and has made impossi-
BILE the revocation Of these grants by
performing the contract obligation Of
commencing work in nine months.
The right-of-way contracts Of the
North Coast road contain this clause:
said railroad company is hereby
released from any further liability of
any nature or kind occasioned by the
construction Of it's road across said
land. Provided, however, that unless
construction of said railroad is COM
menced within ........ county within
nine months from the date hereof,
this contract shall become null and
void"

ing for some months securing right
of-way and putting teams to work in
the grading contracts. The company
is said to have paid $4,000 cash for
right-ofway purposes in Yakima, but
this showing is not considered ade-
quate for a big transcontinental sys-
tenn such as the North Coast has been
heralded as being.
At Pasco, junction of the Snake and
Columbia Rivers, the North Coast is
seeking a broad right-of-way to make
good its projected line to Walla
Walla. In the latter city it has a fran
chise. What railroad men of the Hill
and Hartman lines are trying to fig
ure out is just what Strahorn is try
ing to accomplish. They figure that ne
has good chance of tying up proper-
ty at strategical points in the Yakima
valley, but according to all accounts
the cost for this advantage in dollars
will be inconsiderable compared with
the advantage that would be gained
providing the North Coast was a fac
tor hostile to the interests of the Hill
roads and the st. Paul.

City Council Splits Over Style Il
The Structure
FOURTH STREET SPAN NAY Be STEEL
KIRKMAN DEMANDS CONCRETE
BUT is STRONGLY OPPOSED
BY GLASFORD.

A difference of opinion over the
kind of bridge for Fourth street ana
a lively tilt over the question of paw
ing south Second street were the mat
tiers which disturbed the calm of the
council meeting last night. All the
members were anxious to get through
with business and hear election re-
turns and the way routine affairs
were looked over, tied up in packages
ard filed away was a caution.
The discussion over the Fourth
street bridge was precipitated by che
report Of the committee on streets and
public improvements consisting of
Glasford. Mexican and Bacntold who
recommended that the bids for a
concrete bridge be rejected and that
bids for a No. 1 steel bridge 70 be
constructed for the sum of $5,722.15
be accepted and that the mayor and
city clerk be instructed to enter into
contract for the same"
Councilman Kirkman moved that
concrete bridge be built by day labor.
GIasford Objects.
Glasford objected violently saying
that such a structure would cost at
least $4,000 and that it was too mucn
money to put in the bridge, when a
wooden one could be built for less
than half the amount. Other places
sadly needed bridges and the money
should be distributed.
The mayor interposed the remark
that the foundation of the Main street
bridge Of the steel type was now
cracking, but the chairman of the
street committee thought the founda-
ton of the Fourth street structure
could be patched up,
Councilman Tausick thought there
was a mistake in the idea i1eld by the
street committee on the price of the
bridge. Surveyor Loehr had informed
him that the concrete structure could
be completed for about $SOOO a small
difference from the steel bridge. He
also remarked that the Main street
bridge had to be propped up now and
that he believed, while building a
bridge, it ought to be a good one, as
the people down Fourth street had
been to a big expense in paving in a
district removed from the center of
town.
RecoIIects Pipe Line.
Glasford objected to building any,
thing by day work intimating that the
experience Of the council with that
sort Of method had not been very
pleasant. He also thought that Loehr,
while competent surveyor, knew
nothing about concrete bridges as he
had been told the bridge would cost
as much as $4,000.
Kirkman was Of the opinion that it
ought to be the policy of the city
to put in the best kind of bridges in
the city proper.
A vote on the motion to put in con-
crete bridge resulted in a tie, Glas-
ford, Mexican and Bachtold voting
no. and Kirkman, Tausick and Dun
ham, yes. The mayor declared the
motion lost.
Owing to the absence of Councilman
Bridges the report of the committee
recommending a steel bridge was re-
