THE RE CANVASS.

In compliance with the COM
mands of a preemptory writ of
mandamus issued by Judge Burke
on the application of Frank G..
Malloy, the county canvassing
board reconvened for the purpose
of recanvassing the returns of
votes cast at the late primary
election for the nomination to the
office of clerk of the district court.
The board duly convened and or
ganized on Monday, October Is,
1906, at Washburn, N. D. The
returns from all the voting pre-
cincts were duly canvassed, with
the exception of those from pre-
cincts No. 4 and No. "a, which
were thrown out for the following
reasons:
The returns from precinct No. 4
were thrown out for the reason
that they were not authenticated
or certified by the election officers
as required by law, and therefore
not proper returns. The regular
election law makes provision for
errors of this kind by providing in
Section 773 of the Revised Codes
that the county canvassing board
must subpoena in the election Of
fcers and have them correct any
errors or COMMISSIONS by them
made. This section is, however,
excluded from the primary law,
and there is no other provision in
the law by which this can be done.
Attorney Miller, on behalf of can
didate Raugust raised the object
ion that these returns could not
properly be canvassed. The mat
ter was referred to the states at
torney who advised the board,
that in his opinion the point was
we'll taken and the board accord
ingly threw out the returns.
The board threw out the returns
from precinct No..34, for the rea-
son that no proper returns were
made. There was no returns of

any kind from this precinct, which
bwere signed up by the proper Of
icials. The poll list and the tally
sheet were returned, but there
were no footings or totals of votes
cast for any of the candidates, and
no statement was in any place
made as to the number of votes
cast for the respective candidates.
Attorney Miller on behalf of candi-
date Raugnst raised the point that
there were no proper returns from
this precinct and objected to the
allowance of the purported returns,
citing in support of his contention
the case Of State VS.. Mckenzie, 10
N. D. 1872. where the facts were
identical. After hearing the case
read, and considering the matter
the board on receiving the opinion
from the state attorney that the
objection was well taken, determ-
ined that they would have to throw
out the returns from precinct No.
"a. and accordingly did SO.
The result as found by the re-
canvass was Gottlob O. Raugust
1852 and Frank G. Malloy 932. At
torney Gibson appeared on behalf
of Mr.. Malloy and Attorney Miller

Saving Fine Trees.

Considerable interest attaches to
the cement filling in the trunks Of the
great oaks near st. Charles avenue,
and many questions have been asked
about this method Of arresting the de-
cay of trees, says the New Orleans
Times-Democrat.
Horticulturists have found that they
have been able TO prevent limbs from
decaying by wrapping them in cloth.
This helps to exclude the dampness.
Carrying their experiments one point
further, it was found that cement
would preserve the trunks Of trees
from rotting, just as filling in tooth
prevents further decay.
The question arose last year as to
what would be done to preserve the
great oaks at Audubon park, which
were losing growth and verdure by
reason of big holes in their trunks,
and it was accordingly decided to fill
the apertures with cement. Several
carloads Of sand, mortar, and brick
were used in the operation, which has
been attended with great success.
Old oaks regainsd their strength, new
branches began to grow and altogether
they put on signs Of renewed life.
The art of 'arboreal dentistry" has
since then been perfected to such an
extent that even a new bark can be
given to tree. 1t is proposed at
some future date to cover the filling
with layer of cement the color OF the
oaks bark, which can be so worked
as to resemble natural covering. 1t
is said that this will preserve the tree
even better than will ordinary cement,
at the same time it will add to its
beauty by hiding the mortar.
