Milwaukee PLANS
PRESIDENT EARLING AGAIN VISITS
The COAST.
Outlines Work of the Road Now
Under Way and to Begin in
Immediate Future-.-H Hartman
Plans Also Maturing--Co nstruc.
ton Base to Be at Seattle.

Seattle, May 3.-President A. j.
Earling, of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railroad, arrived in the city
yesterday morning and will remain on
the Sound until Monday, when he
goes to Portland before returning East.
Most of the time on the Sound this
trip will be spent in Seattle and in di-
recting the affairs of the company
here in commencing improvement of
the property secured for terminal pur-
poses. When seen at the Butler hotel
yesterday afternoon Mr.. Earling an
nounced that improvement of termi-
mails in Seattle will begin at once. The
dockage, freight and passenger grounds
will be placed in shape and base of
supplies for Washington construction
established.
Nearly 400 Miles Under Way.
Between $50 and 400 miles of line
from Evarts, S. D., to Seattle is now
under construction, said Mr.. Earl
ing, land another section of 100 miles
is to be commenced at once. Work is
under way between Seattle and the
east side of the Cascades, and within
the next month construction will be
commenced from Ellensburg east a
distance of 200 miles. Contractors
have the grading begun west from the
Missouri river and also in Montana,
about 400 miles west of the Missouri
river, in addition to the work that is
now being done in Washington.
Improvement of the terminals in
Seattle is to be commenced at once on
the lines outlined by the company to
the city council in the maps presented
in connection with our franchise ap.
plication. Within sixty or seventy
days sufficient grading will have been
completed to allow laying of track,
and the first shipment of rails will ar
rive in Seattle about the latter part of
June or the first of july"
Will Pass Through Ellensbursh.
One of the important features Of the
announcement of Mr.. Earling is the
assurance that the line has been def
nitely located for the entire distance
from Evarts to Seattle. The road will
pass through Ellensburg, according to
the statement of Mr.. Earling, and this
is a point on which no official an.
nouncement has been made before this
time.
Mr. Earling also announced that the
new transcontinental line will use
both the Northern Pacific and the Co.
lumbia & Puget Sound roads for the
delivery Of material and supplies from
this city along the route of the new
road. He declined to discuss any
other connection which the road may
make with the Columbia q Puget
Sound under the agreement made be.
tween the two roads some weeks ago.

DAVIS GOES TO SENATE.
Governors Majority Will Exceed Ten
 Thousand and His Election to Senate Is Now Assured.

Davis has won by from 10000 to 15,00O over the state, most counties having been heard from and complete, and close estimates furnished on missing precincts.
 The returns coming in Friday and Saturday from remote coun- ties and country precincts cut down the vote of Berry in near ly all the counties reported for him.
 Pope county, Davis old home, gave him a majority of 1434, and such counties as Craighead, Woodruff and Crawford, which went for Wood two years ago, gave Davis majorities. Even such strongholds as Lee county came very nearly giving Davis majority and such reverses served to offset the big gains of Berry from Northwestern Ar kansas.
 For attorney-general, Pindall has probably won, but Kirby is pushing him closely.
 Guy Tucker has won out as agricultural commissioner and on Saturday wired his friend, R. T. Simmons of this city to forget Jackson, as he was on the safe side without it.
 Riddick has defeated Moose for associate justice and Cravens of Fort Smith has been nominat- ed for congress to succeed Little.
 INDEPENDENCE COUNTY.
 Independence county, with one precinct missing gives Berry 1254. Davis 1077; Rogers 1O97, Little 980; for congress, Brun- didge 1904, Oldfeld S77; or cir cult judge Fulkc"son 9l4, Yancey 518, Butler 55' thorough

 Albert Sims won easily for county clerk. Albert Dunlap will be sheriff, Frank Perrin, treasur- CT, Frank Ham, surveyor; Tom Shell, coroner.
 GREENE GOES FOR DAVIS.
 Paragould, March 29. Full returns are not yet in. High water is delaying the returns from the remote country town ships. An unusually heavy vote was boiled. Several candidates are running neck and neck. The official count is necessary to de- eide the contest for county treas urer, sheriff and circuit clerk. Hon. w. w. Randy appears to be elected representative over J. w. Seay, present incumbent. Macon, for Congress, and Simp- son for prosecutor, swept the county. Davis carried the coun- ty by less than 200, a decline in his former majority of over 6O0 Little is given 800 majority. Judge Riddick receives a hand some vote.
 CLAY BY 300.
 Piggott, March 29-Davis has Clay county by 300. The race is so close between Little and Rogers that the official count is thought to be necessary. One township out, but will not change the result.

WINNERS IN JACKSON.
lnComelete Returns Show County Has Gene for Rddick, CCffman, FutraIl
 and Gulley.

The tabular vote of this issue contains the result in IT pre- cincts of Jackson county. No election was held in the two pre- cincts of Bryan township owing to the high water. Thus there are only tn ee missing precincts, Village, Glaize and Richwoods. The boxes for these precincts are in but no slips were kept ot the result. How they went ap- proximately has been reported and the result will not affect any race.
 Village went for Berry and Rogers strong, Richwoods went heavily for Davis and Little and Glaize went by a fair majority for Berry and Little, Thus the returns of the three will make little difference in the rel ative results.
 Berry will carry Jackson county by about 160 votes, Little will probably carry county by a very slight margin and Brun- didge by about 65. For attorney general Pindall has 552, Kirby 545, Gautney 312. The chances are about even between Pindall and Kirby for this county.
 For state superintendent of public instruction, Futrall has over 300 majority, the totals thus far being Futrall 859, Doyne 534.
 For associate justice, the seven teen precincts give Rlddick 9l2, Moose 582 or nearly 2 to l for the former.
 For land commissioner, Coff- man defeats Hines by over 400 votes in Jackson. For commissioner of mines, manufactures and agriculture, Ransom Gulley has a total of 513 and his nearest opponent, Guy Tucker, has 379 to his credit. LOCKARD AND ARD.
 The only county contests in doubt were decided by the re- ported vote of the missing pre- cincts and it is now positively known that Lockard has won the county clerkship by probably 100 majority over Robinson and that Ard is nominated for representa- tive by probably 50 votes over Grant.

RIVER FALLS A FOOT.
Flood Situation Greatly Improved and Outlook Bright for Steady Decline
 of Water.

Reports from Upper White tell of a considerable fall in the river, ranging from one to five feet and Black too has reached her highest stage and commenced falling.
 At Newport, the gauge shows a foot fall and as state d, the out look is bright for a steady de- cline. The recen' rains were either not suffic. .ently heavy or did not extend into the Ozarks far enough to affect the rivers which drain the northern part of the state.
 It will probably be several days before train service is re- sumed over Iron Mountain bridge. Work however was commenced Saturday, seeking to straighten and get into line the span which gave way partially. Just how far the high water will interfere with the work is a question.

DENVER, Colo, July 19.-The great

of the city, accompanied by more than
a hundred bands which had come from
all parts of the United States, accom-

TO VOTE PROXIES.
New York Law Prevents Governor
Taking Part in Insurance Elections.

NEW YORK, July 1s.-By recently
enacted laws of the New York legisla-
ture, all of the proxies held by Gov
ernor Jahnson for policy holders of the
New York Life and Mutual Life in the
northwest have been made null and
void.
These proxies have been pouring in
for weeks from various parts of Min
nesota, many from the two Dakotas,
and a number from Wisconsin and
Iowa. At the meeting some weeks ago
of travelling men at WATERFOWL, S. D.,
the matter of proxies for Governor
Johnson to handle was taken up with
vigor and blanks were sent out to be
filled in and returned to the governor
This caused the inpouring of fully half
the proxies Minnesotas chief executive
now holds.
Il don't believe there is anything
for me to do now but to destroy the
proxies l hold" said Governor Johnson,
land that is what l have decided to do.
1t would do no good to return them
to the senders for they have the right
to cast their votes anyhow. The
proxies are now but so much worthless
paper. According to the new New
York state law, no proxies of policy
holders are good issued before Sep

An Unfortunate Suggestion.

HAMBURG, July 19.-The municipal
council room in the town of Hagen in
Westphalia, was the scene of an anus
ing occurrence a few days ago. Vice.
Burgomaster Wilde, in an enthusiastic
speech, proposed that three new streets
should be named after the celebrated
physicians, DR.. Koch, DR.. Behring and
DR.. Roentgen, in recognition Of their
brilliant services in the cause of suffer-
ing humanity.
A storm of applause greeted the pro-
posal, but an ominous silence fell upon
the meeting when Councillor Busch
haus rose and pointed out that the
three streets in question led to the
cemetery, and that for this reason the
eminent scientists named might not
feel unqualified qualification at the
honor it was proposed to confer upon
them. 1t is hardly surprising to read
that after this the matter was dropped
by unanimous consent.
