Democratic Vote About $4,000.

Democratic Vote About $4,000.
To the surprise OF the politicians
the democrats cast about $4,000
votes in their primary on June 2.
1t had been expected that the
party vote would be very light on ac-
count OF the fact that there were no
contests either on state or county
tickets. Nevertheless, the democrats
got out and voted in surprisingly
large numbers.
Claude II. Porter, the only candi-
date for senator of the United States
received 47,S77 votes in ninety-six
counties. Guthrie, Dallas and Polk
are not included in this total, but the
aggregate will be practically $4,000.
There were 1862 scattering votes.
Fred White, the only democratic
candidate Tor governor. received
49,07S votes in ninety-seven coun-
ties. Polk and Dallas not being In
| cluded. There were thirty-four
scattering votes.
These figures were disclosed by
the official canvass made by the exc
| cutive council and which is now
being concluded.
The majority of Senator Allison
| over Governor Cummins was less
than 10000 according to the official
canvass in ninety-siX counties. I'm.
official returns from Polk, Dallas and
| Guthrie counties, added to the official
canvass by the council, give Allison
| 1913 majority.
Owing to the fact that the Dallas
| county returns are tied up in court
and that the Polk county canvass has
not been completed by the board Of
supervisors, these two counties are
not included in the official canvass
results just made public.
Following is table showing the
results of the primary election Of
the republican party of the state

The question Of dock privileges

the Occur d'Alene Boat club was be-
fore the council last evening in an
effort to drive the club TO some other

Of the business interests of the city
and the loss Of several thousand dol
lars each summer in the purchase
of provisions and other merchandise
used by the people who come here to
spend their summers. II this policy
Is pursued II will drive many people
from the lake who have been in the
habit of spending their summers

importance to be let go by default.
You can boost, or you can kick Wis

and to deprive the boat club of the
privilege of anchoTing its docks to
the park shore means the driving OF

from Spokane, to some point on the

fences. II that club dock in any way

II caused a loss OF several thousand

NINE-HOUR RAILWAY LAW
Train Operators and Photographers
Are Affected.

Are Affected.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March g.
The national nine-hour law, govern
ing railroad employees, becomes eff
fective tomorrow. The Baltimore &
Ohio and few other roads have al
ready adopted the system.
The law limits the hours of serv-
ice of all classes of train operatives.
particularly locomotive engineers and
firemen, train dispatchers, railway
telegraphers, towen men and signal
operators.
Many objections to the new law
have been filed with the interstate
commerce commission, and threats
have been made by railway oficials
that the operation of the law will
necessitate a reduction in wages.
1t was pointed out that nine hours
constituted an unusual and awkward
period, as duties of that kind have to
be performed "a hours every day.
II two shifts of train dispatchers,
telegraph operators and signal men
each worked nine, there would be a
period of six hours in every "a
which could not be covered satisfae-
torily, either to the men themselves
or to the railroads.
It was Indicated that tricks of
eight hours might be better for all
concerned, but for such a period of
work the men could not be paid
wages which they would regard as
adequate for their needs. And, in
addition, 1t might be dificult to OBJ
tain the services of enough skilled
men to make up three shifts every
"a hours on all of the railroads in
America.
Any attempt to cut the wages of
the railroad men viii be bitterly
fought by the American Federation
Of Labor and allied organizations. In
regard to the threatened reduction,
President Gompers said: The
wages of the railroad men can not
stand reduction. The cost of living
has been increased faster than the
wages, which. In fact, have not been
increasing at all.
Under the Erdman law the presi-
dent has empowered the interstate
commerce commission to make an
immediate investigation and to re-
port as soon as possible.
I'VE do not want any strikes.
Strikes are to be avoided except as a
last resort, and in nine cases out of
ten. IL both sides be willing, the
trouble can be settled by arbitra-
ton"

IDAHO TIMBER TEsTs
Forestry Reserve CO-Operates with
State University.

WASHINGTON, D. G., March a.
The state university Of Idaho. locat-
ed at Moscow, has just entered into
a cooperative agreement with the
United States forest service TO carry
on a series Of tests to determine the
relative value OF the commercial tim
bers of the state. All the tests will
be made at the university in accord
ance with the methods used by the
government, and at least once year
a testing engineer of the forest serv-
ice will make a careful inspection
and report upon the progress Of the
work.
These tests will be of considerable
value in ascertaining for what pur-
poses and uses the timbers of Idaho
are best adapted. Bridge stringers
will be tested to determine the fit-
ness of different species for the con-
struction Of trestles and bridges; the
spike-holding power will also be in
vestigated to determine just what
species can be advantageously used
for railroad ties and tests will be
made to determine the relative hard
ness, which property is very import
ant in material used for paving
blocks. The forest service at other
Laboratories in various parts OF the
country is making tests on import
ant timbers from other sections, and
by cooperating with the service the
university will secure results which
will furnish an accurate basis for
comparing Idaho timber with timber
from other states.
At this period when the supply Of
different species which practical utili-
cation has shown to be well adapted
to the needs of various Industries is
being rapidly exhausted, substitutes
for the disappearing species are be-
ing eagerly sought. The timber
tests as carried on by the govern
ment are designed to show how hard.
tough, stiff and strong different
woods are, in this way making it pos
sible to determine inteIligently what
species will best serve as substitutes
for the ones nearing exhaustion. The
results of the investigations will be
published from time to time and dis
tributed to the individuals and cor
porations interested in the use OF
forest products.
