Wallace Looks Like Easy
Winner.
A MAJORITY OF 377
Carried Parish of Winn and
Cities of Shreveport
and Minden.

As The Sentinel goes to press
today (Friday) at noon Wallace,
our candidate for member of the
State Board of Equlizers, looks
like winner over both of the
other candidates, In which event
another primary would be unnec-
essary. The majorites given him
in this parish, the town of Minden
and the city of Shreveport puts
him 81 votes ahead of the other
candidates.
For some cause or other the
wires are not working today, but
sufficient returns have been re-
ceived to show that he is the
leading candidate with a strong
probability of winning out over
both of his opponents.
Meredith is the leading candi-
date for Railroad Commissioner,
with Foster a close second, but it
will be tomorrow before the exact
vote is known.
The election passed off quietly
in this parish with but little inter-
est manifested in many of the
precincts. Some of them. how
ever, polled a large propotion of
their voting strength. as will be
shown by the tabuIated vote.
For Railroad Commissioner
Meredith carried the parish
with majority of 2SS over both
of the other candidates.
For member Board of Equali-
zers Wallace carried the parish
with a majority of Ill over both
of the other candidates. which is
considered good showing, when
the light vote and the strenuous
fight put up by Judge Boone's
supporters are taken into con-
sideration.
The Vote in Shreveport.
Shreveport, Sept. Wallace,
for member Board of Equalizers;
carried the city with a majority
of 191 votes over both of the
other candidates. The entire
vote: Foster, SOL: Meredith,
1877; Hunsicker, 240; Wallace,
GA; Boone, 112; Head. 311.

The vote in ward eight was
more representative, showing that
the voters were more interested,
than Ia ward ten, where less than
half the voters participated in the
election. But it is significant
that not q vote was cast in favor
of license.
The saloon at CALVIN has license
until December 81, 1906, after
which time the entire parish will
b dry.

Wards Eight and Ten
Went Dry.
WARD TEN Is TO 0
Eleotion Passed off Quietly
With Little Interest
In Ward Ten.

After January l, 1906, every
ward in Winn Parish will be as
"dry as q bone" SO far as intoXi-
eating liquor is concerned. The
last two sswet' wards in the par
ish voted against saloon license
Tuesday when wards eight and
ten voted on the question.
These wards had never voted
on the question of whether or not
whiskey could be sold within their
boundaries and, of course, until
it was voted against whiskey
could be sold there. But little
attention was paid to the matter
until last July when license was
taken out and q saloon was
opened at Calvin in ward eight.
Then the people began to stir
and asked the police jury for an
election, which was granted.
Given an opportunity. the people
expressed themselves on the sub
ject in no uncertain terms. The
vote was as follows:

rT1HE earthquake of Wednesday morning covered a larger
I area OF territory than any preceding it for centuries. In
IEINl San Francisco and Oakland, where its gre ltest force was
sDent hundreds of people lost their lives and property losses run
into the millions Before a manifestation of such unseen tfemen-
dous force the human mind and physique seem insignificant IN
deed, and we can but bow our heads in reverence to HIM who does
all things well. \ visitation OF disaster, carrying with 1t such
incaculable loss Of life and property, carries dread to the human
heart and sympathy for the afflicted, and in the hour OF need the
generosity of the American nation comes to the rescue with proHer
of hIp. Behind it all is an Omnipotenr hand, before which we
must bow i'll humble submission.
The commercial effects of the disaster will be too far-reaehing
to ALLOW of any accurate prediction as to its immediate effects.
Other commercial centers of the Coast will derive temporary bene-
fits from the misfortune of their sister, but when the runs have
been cleared away another city will arise at the Golden Gate OF
the West, fairer and of greater Importance than its predecessor
San Francistos real palladium lies in the intense loyalty of he1
respect for the Importance of an active commercial life. She has
been wicked and lcentious, but her growth has been the result OF
a labor that has known no faltering. She will arise again, pro
foundry wise and in beauty supreme. She will excite the wonder
and admiration of a world. All these things will she do because
It has been decreed. The earthquake OF last Wednesday morning
will be but a memorial horrible nightmare, bringing with 1t a
lesson namely, the building of structures more IN conformity TO
the conditions that are likely to arise again, although they are
not at all probable.
The life of Nevada has been strangely interviewer with that
of san Francisco. Our treasure has buIded many OF the hand
some structures that now lie crumbling ruins, and its potency III
the life of the city has been a recognized factor. 1t IS no satHiac-
ton to us to see fortunes thus d1ssipattd, but rather a profound
grief. Since the inception of business i'll the West, Nevada has
been an adjunct to the commercial life of the Golden State, anG
many are the influences of various kinds that will be iet III this
State as a result of the seismic disturbance oflast Wednesday and
the appalling losses that accrued.

"Anotherdeal of much Importance was
the purchase OF II of the Boulder

example OF the II in which a mi

Of New York yesterday offered the orig

they had given their promise to Wing

DISTRIBUTION OF
GOVERNMENT SEED,

The Department of Agriculture, thro
its seed and plant introduction and dis
tribution division, has just sent to the
farmers of the Truckee.C Carson Project
the largest amount Of seed for introduce
ton that have ever been sent to any
community in the United States. This
seed is not sem through Congressman on
senators, but Is sent by means Of ii spe-
cial fund which the Department OF Ag-
ri%culturc has for the distribution OF new
nd valuable crops which they have
states and rom many foreign countries.
The office which has this distribution
IN charge has representatives i'll all
parts OF the world collecting valuable
seed OF this kind for distribution. The
ICED which have been sent into the
arson Sink valley are IN the most cases
rops which have been tried 1T other
POINTS, and owing To the similar eli
m tic conditions, IL is considered, will
do well here.
The farmers who are receiving this
seed have an excellent opportunity to
.alue OF these crops, and 1t is sincerely
nuped tnat every cnort VIII be made 10
.OlIuW the directions accompanying
ylese seed and give them Il lalr trlal.

Among the seed which have been for
Aarded at this time are alfalfa from

arllcnt results IN other parts OF the
cDuury, ana IL Is believed will do ever

California or Utah.

mined by trial.
Dwarf Milo maize and kaiiir corn
two OF the most valuable crops that can
be grown in arid regions, have been SEM
to il number OF farmers for testing.
\ number of different seed of grasses
have also been sent to farmers who have
lands adapted for them, some upon al
kali, some upon lands which are flooded
with waste water, and there have alsC
been forwarded Il variety of the tamt
grasses, Beside the grasses, some clio.
yer has been sent to test in connection
with the grasses.
\ number OF other miscellaneou,
crops Werealso forwarded, such as Cana.

corn millet, onions, oats, hops and sugar
beets. Each and everyone OF these
crops have been selected on accoun oil

1t, therefore, cannot be toe strongly re.
luested that every man receiving this
seed care for them To the best oi hi,

PARTICULAR PEOPLE.

The world is full of particular people,
and the most exacting OF them all, are
those who are particular about what
they eat, where they eat it and what
they pay for it, as well as the service
accompanying the meals. 1t is the the
rule in Astoria, whenever one of these
people inquire for the best, all-round
restaurant in the city, to promptly refer
them to the Palace Catering Company,
on Commercial street, just opposite the
Page building. Once they patronize the
Palace, their worries and their questions
are at an end. Banquetting and party
service is complete in every detail OF
luxurious appliance and menu.
