GOVERNOR GOODlNC WINS N IDAHO.
Republicans Will also Have Majority
In LEGISLATURE.

BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 7.-TOday's re-
turns confirm the estimates made last
night that Governor Gooding, repub-
lican candidate for reelection, has
carried the state by a majority of some
what more than 1900. The rest Of the
state ticket has majority of probably
s. 900 more, with the exception of the
candidate for secretary Of state, who
was cut considerably.
Definite returns show the republicans
have thirteen of the twenty-one men,
bers Of the state senate and thirty-five
of the fifty-one members Of the house.
This will give majority Of twenty-four
on joint ballot.
Several members are in doubt and are
quite a. likely to fall to one side as to
the other, though private dispatches
claim four Of the five members from
Kootenai county will be republicans.

HUGHES WINS OUT BY $4,000
But the Race In New York for Second
Place Is a Close One.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Incomplete
returns from two-thirds of the counties
of the state of New York made it inn
possible up to II O'Clock tonight to
give definite figures on the state ticket
other than for governor. Charles +.
Hughes, republican candidate for gov
ernor, has majority of 81, 900 approxi-
mately, but the remainder of the can
didates are in doubt.
For lieutenant governor, Lewis Stuy-
vesant Chanler, democratic-lndepend-
ence league candidate, has a lead in the
city of Greater New York of 1&, 94l.
Up state M. Linn Bruce, republican
candidate for lieutenant governor, is
running slightly ahead of Mr.. Hughes
vote. As Mr.. Hughes came down 70
Greater New York with lead of ap-
proximately 129, 900, it will readily be
seen that the vote for second place on
the ticket will be very close, and only
the complete official count will deter
mine the successful candidate.
At II o'clock 40 out of the 60 counties
in the state had completed the count
and turned in the figures. From these
it was impossible to predict the result
of the entire count as to the subordi-
nate places on the two tickets. At re-
publican state headquarters no definite
statement or claim is to be had, but
based on returns already in, it appears
that Bruce is elected by 5000. 1t was
stated that as there were still abou,
20 counties to be heard from officially
nothing would he given out until thess
have reported.

CONGRATULATORY LETTERTOThEV VOTERS
Committeeman and Republican Voters Rendered Most
Loyal Support to Successful Candidates.

no means do we consider this q repub-
lican victory only; but as victory Of
and for the intelligent voters of Adams
county who, by their votes, have shown
in no uncertain language that never
again will they submit to the condition
of things that have in the past prevail
ed here. You have acquitted yourselves
as becomes men.
We are sorry that you did not re-
elect County Commissioner ALERT. He
is a splendid man and has been most
useful commissioner, and his defeat is
most regretable.
The defeat of Mr.. Truax for school
superintendent, although by a narrow
margin, is a matter of sincere regret
to us. While his successful opponent.
Mr.. Perkins, is a man for whom we
have had, in the past, q high regard,
we feel sure that Mr.. Truax would
have proven himself great help to the
schools of the county. His brief resi-
dence here-twO years-defeated him.
That you did not elect, as your county
assessor, Mr.. w. H. Hodson, is matter
of regret to all his friends throughout
the county. He was and is essentially
the people candidate and was in every
way deserving of their support. He
made good fight and lost out gamely
But this campaign does not end hi
political career by any means.
We wish to thank all committeeman
for their loyal support during this cam
paign.

Mysterious Disappearance.

j. c. Yoakum, of Oakland, Cal, Is
in the city and is investigating the
matter OF the mysterious disappear
ance of his father Jesse Yoakum. The
latter, who owned ranch a few miles
from Lewiston, near the Hatwai
creek on the Clearwater river, disap-
peared about month ago. He had
spent the day in Lewiston and left
for his home in the evening. The
next day his horse. unsaddled, was
found near the Yoakum home. A
short distance away the old gentle.
mans hat was also found. The offfc-
ers investigated the case and the view
was formed that upon reaching his
home Mr., Yoakum became bewilder-
ed and wandering near the river had
fallen into the stream and drowned.
1t was reported in the city yester-
day that some fears are now express
ed that Yoakum was the victim Of
foul play on the part of enemies. The
son and Mariou Shepler who resides
near the city, left yesterday for the
Hatwai farm and will endeavor to Sc
cure some clew that might solve the
mystery.-Lewiston Tribune.

Echo, ore, March Especial 10
the East OregonianD- "A daring hold
up occurred within this place at 1890
last night. Alex Frazier and J. Ryan

o. r. & n. depot. Frazier was robbed
of S102 In money. a 500 check and
ticket to Portland. Ryan was reliev-
ed of s11.50 in money and ticket to
Spokane.
When held up the two men We're
passing between the water tank and
the warehouse and were set upon by
two men with clubs or sandbags. Fra
zier was knocked insensible and did
not recover consciousness for some
little time. Ryan was not hurt as
badly as his companion and put up
something of n fight. However he
was forced to give up what money he
had, while the thieves when through
the pockets of Frazier. The robbers
then ran and have not been seen
since, though diligent searon has
been made for them. They have
either left on one of the passing
trains or else are still in Echo and

Both of the victims of the hold-up

Portland and Walla Walla.
Mr.. Burleigh says the right of way
through the Wallowa valley has been
practically all secured, and it is prob
able that ,the right for the entire line
through the valley will be secured
without legal proceedings. a record
heretofore unknown in northwest rail-
road building.
The Elgin extension is now being
graded rapidly toward the mouth of
the Wallowa river. 16 miles north of
Elgin. From the mouth of the Wal
Iowa river the line will follow the
north side of the Wallowa river. cross
ing that stream at the wagon bridge
near the mouth of the Minam river
Although the river is very crooked
and the Wallowa canyon very pre-
cipitous the railroad will cross the
river hut twice in the entire distance
from the mouth of the Wallowa to
Wallowa postoffice, the first town in
the valley.
The line of survey of the Walowa
branch of the O. r. & n. passes
through the towns of Wallowa, En-
terprise and Joseph, but at present
the survey misses the town of Los
tine by about two miles. The people
of that place however, are hopeful of
inducing the company to locate the
survey through the town.

idly and promises to be one of the
richest sections of eastern Oregon

APRICOTS ARE KILLED.
Milton Peaches Slightly Injured, But
Damage VIII BE Small II Weather
ModerateS.

Milton, March 13.-(Special.)- )-The
apricot crop in this vicinity is COM
pletely killed by the cold weather of
the past As hours. The fruit had set
on the trees and was we'll advanced
and there is scarcely a tree in the en-
tire district showing any live apricots
today.
While the crop of apricots in this
vicinity was comparatively small, yet
it is a popular fruit and is always in
brisk demand in local markets.
The peach crop is but slightly in
jured and unless the cold weather
continues for several days the loss
will be scarcely felt. The trees we're
not far advanced and the fruit buds
have been but slightly damaged. 1t
is said by some orchardists that the
cold weather has just thinned the
crop enough to insure larger and bet
ter fruit than if 1t all remained and
ripened on the trees.
Apples and the later and more
hardy varieties of fruit are not in
jured in the least.
