Elections Committee Stopped Counting
Ballots Smith Likely To Win.

Washington, March 20. While no de-
cision has been reached by the members
of House Elections Committee No. |
relative to the merits of the Smith-Jack-
son election contest from Maryland. il
seems reasonably certain that the sub
committee now studying the disputed
ballots will recommend that Represen-
tative Smith be allowed to retain his
seat in Congress.
This subcommittee, composed of Rep
resentatives Miller. Of karsas: Weems
of Ohio, and Talbot. of Maryland
began several days ago to scrutlnlze the
ballots. Six dry goods boxes full Of bal
lots were taken to the committee room
and the members Of the subcommittee
began to count the Worcester county
ballots. They had only disposed of an
envelope full of these when Represen-
tative Miller raised an interesting point
in connection with the marked ballots
which had been thrown out by the cleo
ton authorities. Mr.. Miller wanted to
know about the Maryland statutes on
elections. particularly in the matter Of
their bearing on marked ballots. II was
accordingly decided that the subcom-
mittee should not proceed further with
the counting of ballots until after Mr.
Miller had carefully examined the Mary
land statutes.
The point raised by Mr. Miller involv-
ed reasonable doubt. which. aside
from other phases Of the case. will, il
is claimed, give Mr.. Smith the right to
retain his seat in the House.

Select Carefully Seed Corn.

That the average yield Of corn to the
acre in Maryland is larger than in the
great corn-growing States of Iowa,
Missouri. Kansas and Nebraska is per-
haps not generally known, even by our
own people. yet that such is the case
is shown by the official hgures Of the
Uuited States Government. According
to these the average yield of corn To
the acre in Maryland for the year 1905
was 36.9 bushels This was q bushels
larger than the yield for 1904 and was
a still larger increase over the average
for 10 years previous This increase on
each of the 62S. 795 acres planted in
corn in this State last year amounts to
,, 200 7S3 bushels of corn which AT 80
cents bushel means that the farmers
of the State have 81. 1000. 1871 more be-
cause of the better crop. The above
are significant figures to farmers Of this
county and they should not fail to take
the time and pains to carefully select
their seed corn for the coming planting
season.

WALTON PARK

: Walton Park is on the direct road for
Improvements this spring, and a great
deal of work is going to be done that
will materially improve it's looks. Mr..
Walton has ordered trees to be planted
on both sides of Fremont avenue, from
Both to 3Sth streets; on the westerly
side of Lyndale} avenue, from 36th to
3Sth streets, and on both sides Of Bry
ant avenue, from 36th to 9th streets.
Stone walks have also been ordered
on both sides Of Bryant avenue, from
Both to 37th street. These improve
ments will make quite bright change
in Walton Park, and will make it's lots
that much more valua BILE than any other
lots around. The Mckinley school be-
ing located in the center Of Walton
Park naturally gives value to the lots
that lots farther away would not have.
The fact that the Street Railway com
pany have arranged to run the Cedar
and Emerson car to the corner Of 36th
street and Fremont avenue puts Wal
ton Park where it is the equal of any
suburban residence section. Mr.. D. D.
Robbins, the local manager, is always
there, Sunday afternoons as well as
week days, and he will show both the
lots and the houses that are for sale,
with very much pleasure. One thing
Walton Park offers that no other Sec
ton Of town does, and that is that
houses can be bought for practically no
payment down, if the man buying is a
good, clean, Woodworking man whoscan
! keep up regular monthly payments. The
houses now being finished are beautiful
modern cottages, the prices ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000. They are SUI
perior in. design and style to anything
! yet built around Minneapolis. Walton
Park has city water and gas, several
miles of walks, and is altogether q
/ charming place to live in. For plats
and maps apply to the city office, ia
4th street. So.
