Quits the Race for Secretary
of State. Too Expensive.

In a card issued last week. II. v.
McChesney formally withdrew from
the race for Auditor Of Public Ao-

Clearwater
On The Rampage
Heavy Rains Bring the River up
to Highest Stage for Years at
This Season---Much Damage
Done by High Water.

Owing to the heavy rain this
week the Clearwater river is on
the rampage and by Wednesday
evening had reached a stage at
Lewiston higher than at any
time in the past 20 years at this
season of the year and higher
than any stage reached at any
season in the past four years.
Since Monday the river raised IL
feet at that point and has done a
great amount Of damage by
breaking log and wood booms
and carrying away their con-
tents. The Snake river did not
raise so rapidly and the water
from the other stream backed up
in that stream for quite a dis
tance. 1t is estimated that full
ly a million feet of saw logs and
500 cords of wood, besides a large
quantity of shingle bolts, have
been washed away. Quite lot
Of heavy bridge timbers for the
new 0. r. & N. bridge were
washed away at Lewiston before
they could be secured and the
raft containing the big pile driv-
er for the bridge broke loose and
went down stream but was
caught and tied up above Almo-
ia.

Railroad Crews
Leave The Prairie
Wet Weather Puts a Stop to Com
struction of Dirt Grades and
Contractors Leave With Men
For Lower Country.

Because of the prevailing baC
weather, which makes railroad
grading practically an impossi-
bility, the contractors at work on
the grade between this place and
Grangeville have stopped work
for the winter and most of the
men and teams passed through
here yesterday enroute to Guide
sac, from where they will prob
ably so to some point on the
Snake of Columbia to work
through the winter.
The crews at work on the
prairie were in charge of Mr..
Emerson, near Grangeville, and
Mr.. Emmons at the new town of
Fem. These camps were only
established early this fall but
owing to the character of the
work had been able to get quite
bit of the grade completed.
With the coming of wet weather,
however, work was at an end as
it is almost impossible to handle
the "dobe" gronnd near Grange
vile when it has once become
wet, and dirt work of any
character is hard to handle in
stormy weather.
These crews will probably re-
main on the river until next
summer when the ground is
thoroughly dry when they will
return and finish constructing
the grade across the prairie.
The crews at work here and
between this place and Ferdi-
nand are working principally in
rock and it is thought can con-
tinue the work through the
winter, or until the snow puts a
stop to all outside work.

Election Of Road Overseers.

The road overseers have a
great deal to do with the con-
struction and maintenance OF
good roads in our county and as
people are apt to forget such
small matters until too late we
quote the following election law
for the guidance of the voters at
the election to be held in the diff
ferent road districts in the coun-
ty on the first Monday in Dec
ember:
"The electors of each road dis
trict in the several counties of
the state, shall meet on the first
Monday in December of each
year, at one o'clock p. M, and
proceed to elect a road overseer,
who must be an elector of the
district.
Notice of such election and the
place of holding same may be
given by any five of the qualif-
ed electors of the road district,
by posting notices at least ten
days previous to the time of
holding such election, in at least
three of the most public places in
such road district.
The place Of holding such cleo
ton shall be as near as practic-
able in the center of such road
district.
Said election shall be conduct
ed in the same manner as school
elections, and Immediately after
the assemblage of such electors,
they shall elect a Judge and clerk
from their number, who shall
serve as judge and clerk of such
election without compensation.
The candidate receiving the
highest number of votes cast for
such overseer at such election,
shall be declared duly elected and
be so certified to the board of
county commissioners of the
county, by the judge and clerk of
such election. Overseer to furn-
ish bond in the sum of three
hundred dollars, in favor of the
county, and take and Subscribe

Finds Stick of Dynamite.

While in his new store build.
ing Wednesday morning Samuel
Goldstone discovered a stick Of
dynamite lying on the floor on
the east side of the
building near the postofice and
right where a quantity of loose
lumber was being thrown. How
il came there is not known but it
is thought to have been dropped
by some drunken railroader or
else left there by some boys who
have been "swiping" powder
from the railroad camp. It was
indeed fortunate that the ex-
plosive was discovered when it
was or it might have been struck
by piece of lumber and Jared
off, wrecking the entire building
and endangering several lives.
Right in the center of town,
where people are passing con-
stantly, is no place to leave ex-
plosives lying loose and if the
culprit who placed it there could
be located he would no doubt be
severely dealt with. Further
more the owners of such explo-
sives should be careful to keep
them under lock and key so they
cannot be picked up by reck-
less youngsters and any of the
children found fooling with such
dangerous playthings should be
given a severe lesson on letting
alone things which do not con-
Germ him.

Quite a snow storm is brewing
this afternoon and the weather is
far from settled yet.
Owing to the bad weather Gale
Burge and wife did not leave for
Asotin this week but will go as
soon as the weather settles.
Masten & Palmer will hold a big
sale of cattle, horses, grain, etc., at
the old Bieker saw mill southeast
of Westlake next Saturday.
The wind storm yesterday was
one of the worst that has visited
the prairie for many days and play
ed some queer pranks with move
able articles.
The continued wet weather this
week has put stop to all railroad
work in this vicinity as the steady
rain kept the men from working in
the rock cuts and made the ground
too slippery for the teams to be
handled on the dirt grades.
Cottonwood is in fair way to
experience a wood famine before
the winter is over unless sufficient
snow falls to make good sleighing
and allow wood to be brought in
later. Owing to the great amount
of lumber hauled this year less
wood than usual has been brought
in and quite number of people
have already exhausted their sup
ply. 1t is hard to say what they
will do for fuel if the rains keep
the roads in as bad condition as at
present.

Is Alice A HOOdoo?

A special from Columbus,
Ohio, says:
In each of the five congression-
al districts in which Congress-
man LongwOrth spoke this fall
the republicans met with a sharp
rebuff. He spoke in the Sixth
Ohio, and Charles Hilderbrand,
the republican candidate, was
defeated. He spoke in the
Ninth Ohio, and H. C. McClel-
land, the republican candidate,
was defeated. He spoke in the
Eleventh Indiana, and Congress-
man Fred Lands, the republi-
can candidate, was defeated.
He spoke in the Eighth Ohio,
and Congressman Ralph D. Cole,
the successful republican candi-
date, suffered a loss of 5000 in
his plurality. Finally, though
elected in his own district, the
First Ohio, he suffered a loss of
10000 from his plurality of two
years ago.
Mrs. Longworth accompanied
him on his campaign tours, and
people are wondering whether
she is political hoodoo.

Sad Accident At Forest.

A very sad accident occurred
up near Forest yesterday morn.
ing as result of the wind storm
and two homes are now mourn
ing the loss of their loved ones.
The particulars of the disaster,
as secured by the CHRONICLE,
are as follows: During the
heavy wind storm yesterday
morning while Charity and
Otelia Starr, two girls aged II
and IA respectively, and Archie
Ladd, aged 16, and his 12-year
old sister were on their way from
home to school a falling tree,
blown down by the wind, caught
them and instantly killed the two
Starr girls and Archie Ladd. The
Ladd girl narrowly escaped
death, getting one leg and one arm
broken and receiving bad bruises
about the head. While she is bad
ly injured it is thought she will
recover but her escape from
the fate of her companions is
little short of a miracle.

1t is impossible to give any
later election returns than were
given last week until the board
of county commissioners makes
the official count, owing to the
fact that several of the mountain
precincts sent out their books to
the commissioners and did not
the result of the vote
other than though the books sent
out. Most of the democratic
candidates, however, are elected
the only ones in doubt are Stuber
and Simon, whose fate will not
be definitely known suntil after
the count is officially made. We
hope to give the count next
week.
