WHY FISH CANNOT PASS.
Falls 10 Feet High In Pine Creek Pre-
vent Passage Up Stream.

c. c. Shumway, deputy game and
fish warden, has discovered the rea-
son why Pine and Dry creeks have
been ruined for trout fishing in the
past 10 years, which formerly afford
ed fine sport for the angler, says the
Weston Leader.
Before flowing into the Walla Walla
river. Pine and Dry creeks unite in
the Hudson Bay country. Below
their confluence, at the Mrs. ii. IL.
Young place, farmed by Frank Steen,
Is a natural falls about 10 feet high,
impossible for fish. This obstruc-
tion, of course, might easily have been
discovered before, but Mr.. Shumway
is the only deputy warden who has
ever taken the trouble to make an in
vestigation, although his predecessors
were repeatedly urged to do so. 1t
was supposed the trouble was due
TO irrigation dams, but this Is not the
case. Local anglers will be compelled
to make up purse for a fish ladder.

ion for the removal Of natural OBJ

VOTING MACHINES
NAY BE USED.
NEW MOVE BY THE VOTING MACHINE
COMPANY.
SUPREME COURT WILL ACT.
Supreme Court Orders Judge Hobson to
Certify to the Record Within Five Days.
and Will Probably Advance Case
and Decide II Soon.

A new move has been made on the
voting machine checker board, and
the voting machine company may yet
win the game and compel the people
of Winneshiek county to use the ma
chimes in the election this fall in this
county.
The attorneys for the U. S. Stand
ard Voting Machine Company, Messrs.
KEEPER of New York and E. ".
Cutting of this city, have secured
from the Supreme Court writ of cer-
tiorairi, ordering Judge Hobson to
certify to the record in the matter OF
the temporary injunction recently
granted by him within five days, the
same to be transcribed and forwarded
promptly to the Supreme Court. No
tice was also served upon Judge Hob
son that an application had been made
to the Supreme Court to advance this
case, and if granted the Supreme
Court will take up the matter within
few days, and examine the record
with respect to the temporary in
junction, and if they decide that there
was not sufficient grounds for the
temporary injunction the same will be
dissolved, and the machines will be
used at the coming election.
In case the Supreme Court decides
in favor of the voting machine COM
pany, the only course left open to
the people, as we. understand it, will
be to take up the matter in due course
of law and apply for perpetual
injunction restraining the Board OF
Supervisors from using the machines
or paying for them.
Judge Hobson came up from West
Union on Monday and certified to the
record in accordance with the order of
the supreme court.

CIRCLE REMOVED FROM BALLOT.

When the ballots containing the
names of the nominees for Office are
handed to the voter at the coming
election in November, the circle at
the head of the ticket will not be
seen. 1t was abrogated by the last
legislature and as consequence the
voter will not be able to cast straight
ticket. Now in order to vote full
party ticket he will have to mark each
and every square in front of the name
of the various candidates. AS the
ballot at the coming fall election will
be yard or so long, it will require
no little time to properly mark it.
The removal of the circle will
also cause much annoyance to the
nominees. Formerly with circle at
the head of the ticket, the candidates
could depend on a strict party vote.
Now, however. they will be COM
pelled to exert more effort in COM
paigning. More personal solicitation
will be necessary and more Setting
'em up" will be expected. Otherwise
the voter will forget TO mark an X
in front of the candidates who have
failed to make themselves known.
Politicians are uncertain as to how
the rew ballot will work out.
Consequently if there is stimulated
campaigning, the cause thereof will
be known.
