Democrats and Republicans Elect
-Four Each OF the County
Candidates.
VINCENT TO THE LEGISLATURE,
ChaaCeiIor Buchtd Carries County By
Safe Plurality. Official Vote
BY Precincts.

That Delta county is republican there
can be no dispute. Chancellor Buchtel
carried the county by l25 plurality and
and some candidates will have larger
vote. Not over 65 per cent of the total
vote was cast, but full! vote would
have made republican pluralities larger.
On the county ticket honors are even.
four successful democrats. four sue
cessful republicans. The socialist vote
was smaller than their party managers
expected. They expected 800 votes in
the county. but have not gained ma
terially.
We have not time nor space to ella
borate on the local result. The figures
speak for themselves. Study them and

There was an election Tuesday and it
said something. The voice of the peo-
pie rang out clear and strong ''let tho
good work go on" This state has
never been so prosperous in its history
as during the past two years and the
voters by over 10000 plurality ex-
pressed their wish that the same condi-
ton of affairs might continue for at
least another two years. Chancellor
Buchtel and the entire republican tick
ct were successful by between 10000
and 25,OOO plurality. Judge Gabbeft
ran behind in some parts of the state
while in Denver and other localities he
kept up with the head of the ticket 1t
was a great victory for a great party
that has done great work in the admin
istration of state affairs. .---

Journal Special Service,

Journal Special Service.
Paris, Feb. 8.-The area of the Cas-
tellane scandal is rapidly and extensive
ly widening. It is learned on the high
est authority that Countess Anna has
finally and definitely determined to re-
ject all the overtures Of the count and
his interested friends for reconciHa-
tion. She will press for legal separa-
ton, no matter how many regulations
of women belonging to the highest cir
cles of French society may be shattered
by her action and its consequent disclo-
sures.
It is only love for her children and a
fear that she may lose possession of
them that deters the countess from
seeking divorce. The fact that under
the French law a woman who divorces
her husband cannot retain her hus-
band IS titles has in no way influenced
the countess to seek separation and
not divorce.
The countess, in ways which only her
legal advisers knew, has secured abso-
lutte proof of the count IS turpitude. A
personal friend of the countess says
that the proof is SO abundant and un-
shakable that Count Boni will not dare
oppose the countess demand for legal
separation. Moreover, the countess has

the Bill.
REFORM SOUGHT BY @
PRESIDENT PROVIDED
Now the Bill Is in the Senate,
Where Real Fight Will
Come. w.

Washington, Feb. .s.-The house to-
day passed the >aurn railroad rate
bill by a vote of . 10 7.
Anticipating the rollcall on the bill,
there was large attendance Of mem
bers and the galleries were crowded.
After the rollcall the announcement OF
the passage OF the. bill was received
with ripple of applause.
Those voting against the bill were all
republicans; They We're: Littlefeld
(Maine), Mccall and Weeks (Mass.),
Perkins, Southwick, and Vreeland IN.
-, and .Sibley (Penn.).
Mr.. Sullivan (Mass.) voted "pres-
emit y: and was not paired. There were
twenty eight members paired, but these
pairs were generally political ones:
None OF them was made on the bill and
consequently did not indicate opposi-
ton.
70. Summary of Bill.
: The following is summary of the
Hepburn railroad rate bill:
The bill, according to Mr.. Hepburn IS
statement on closing the debate on the
measure, was intended and did, so far
as it could be made, he said, comply
specifically with the recommendations
of President Roosevelt on the rate CUES
ton. 1t gives the Interstate commerce
commission authority. when rate has
pVCu DIS unreasonable
by shipper, to investigate that re-, .,
state whether or not it is unreasonable,
and if found to be. unreasonable, to
name a rate which is to be lust and
reasonable and fairly remunerative,
which Is to be the maximum rate to be
charged. .as 5..g;aF:ssss: sl -
!, This rate 50 fixed IS e 90 into effect
thirty days after it is, announced by the
commission, subject during that time to
be set aside OF suspended by the com
mission or by the courts. After it has
gone into effect it is to remain the rate
for three years. During this time, the
opinion has been expressed by those
who have participated in the debate
that the rate may also be reviewed by
the courts and if found to be in con-
fict either with the terms of the act or
with the constitution, by being CON
fscatory, can be set aside by the courts.
Railroads. Defined. ~
Another important feature is the def
milton of the word ''railroad'' and
transportation in manner to in
clude all auxiliary instrumentalities of
the common carrier and to bring them
within the control of the commission
This power to name reasonable rate
and the inclusion Of the auxiliaries
within the jurisdiction of the commits
sion, are said to be the new features
All other provisions are notifications
of existing law. They include pub
Lefty of railroad methods, which is tc
be- aided by prescribing a system OF
bookkeeping and charging the com
mission to seven members and increas
ing salaries of members to $4,000 E
year. -.-.,.
The railroad rate bill was later re
ceived by the senate from the house Of
representatives but the senators gener
ally were not made aware of it's arrival
The bill was referred to the COMMITTEES
on interstate commerce.

Chicago, Feb. IA Washington spe-
=cial to The Chicago Tribune says:
Prosecution of the railroads by the.
department. of justice for violation Of
the antitrust law, as a result of their
alleged action in farming out the coal
petition, bids fair to overshadow the
action of congress in connection with
the railroad rate bill.
With the principle of rate legislation
assured and the president open-eyed to.
going for naught, the attention of OFF;
cial and congressional Washington is
centered upon the alleged combination
of railroads in respect to the Transports
tion of coal.
When Attorney General Moody re-
turns to Washington from Chicago,
where he is directing the prosecution
Of the beef trust, he will be urged by
Representative Townsend of Michigan
to initiate proceedings under the anti
trust law against the combination al
legged to exist between the Pennsyi-
vania railroad. the Pennsylvania COM
pany, the Norfolk & Western. the New
timore & Ohio, the Chesapeake & Ohio,
and the Philadelphia & Reading.
This prosecution, if it be instituted,
will be the beginning of proceedings
against practically every railroad IN.
the United States.
Proceedings by the department of

Isiative action. Representative Town

There was skating $50 feet up in the

stopped at the second floor and just
