VOTE ON THE
COUNTY TICKET
OF BALLOTS PRO-
CEEDS ALL NIGHT, MORNING
AND AFTERNOON. - RETURNS
EARLY THIS MORNING.

Interest in the county ticket has
been intense from the beginning.
Crowds in every balloting place in
the county watched each of the first
few ballots as they were slowly
counted. The first few ballots in
Wenatchee precinct required sixteen
minutes for counting.
By ten o'clock only a dozen tickets
had been counted in both Columbia
and Wenatchee precincts.
The first inkling of how the judge
ship vote would stand was a phone
from Leavenworth. BY watching the
tickets as they were spread out for
counting they had been checked off,
and Cashmere phoned in 60 to 80
majority for Grimshaw
By the time 25 ballots had been
counted in both Columbia and We
natchee precincts it was highly evil
dent that Grimshaw had been elect
ed.
Then the interest began to center
on the sheriff's Office. For while it
looked most favorable the county
over for Ferguson. Inscho, however,
continued to pile up a good vote in
Wenatchee.
Several surprises were sprung;
among them was the vote received by
J. w. Hutchinson. Mr.. Hutchinson
has been in the valley but a short
time, but is polling a strong vote
Martin Spencer leads Bousquet for
county treasurer by an easy majority
in most Of the precincts.

China's Course Not to Change.

1t is said the death of the emperor and
the empress dowager and the accession to
the throne of the infant Prince Pu vi,
under the regency Of Prince Chun, will
not modify the policy of China in her
inward development or her relations with
the remainder of the world.
There Is not likely to be any change in
the personnel of her representatives here
or abroad solely because of the change in
the throne. The called reformers have
been steadily gaining ground and are UNI
doubtedly in the ascendancy.
China will continue her course under
the leavening influences of her near
neighbors in Japan and the civillzing
guidance Of the western world. So much
was learned this morning from source
which seems authoritative. Minister WI
Ting fang and his legation are in deep
ess mourning, and they may not talk of
anything else or indeed of that save to
themselves and their Utmost souls.
1t was also learned from the same au-
so autocratic as many are disposed to
believe. True, 1t selects the ministers
and those who preside in it's department
of law and justice. where the laws are
formulated before being proclaimed.
But due respect is always paid existing
laws. Time-honored customs have the
force Of the English common law. So
that there Is 4 check, however slight II
may be, to imperial tendencies of the oc-
cupant of the throne in a backward di-
rection.
This was stated positively this morn
Ing. The law-bindins force of immemo-
rial custom. like the laws of the Modes
and Persians. "altereth not"
Aside from the improperly of talking

official life to discuss the ruler. the veil

Just now the Palais Royal has a habit
of calling itself The Christmas Store"
and perhaps that tells the story better
than anything else could For when any
one walks into it's great front door at
the corner of 18th and G. streets north
west in Washington, there is instantly
brought to mind that delightful. indie
scrjbable atmosphere of Christmas.
Whether it is in the very happy look of
the clerks or the tasteful arrangement of
the wares is hard to say-but it is there.

GETS HIGH POSITION
Rudolph Fromme Connected
With U. S. Department
Of Forestry
NOW ENROUTE TOTHE WEST

Rudolph Fromme, formerly o. this
city, is the guest of his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Fromme, of Pearl
street. Mr. Fromme is enroute to
San Francisco from Washington, ID. c.
He is connected with the United States
department of forestry and will be
in charge of the San Francisco branch
of the department, as soon as the new
offices are open: At Washington he
was in conference with his superiors
in regard to the plans for the conduct
of the affairs of the forestry depart
ment on the coast.
After graduating from the local high
school in the class of 1901, Mr.
Fromme entered the agricultural
school at Purdue university From
there he went to Ohio State university
and graduated in the forestry depart
ment. From Ohio State he went to
Yale to complete his course. After
ward he was located in Virginia and
about two years ago was appointed a
district inspector in connection with
the forest reserve. His headquarters
were in Idaho. The territory embrac-
ed in his district extended to the vi
entity of Spokane, Washington. A
large portion of Mr.. Fromme's time
was spent on the forest reserve in run
ming down and ousting gangs of tim
Der thieves.
Recently the department decided
upon an enlargement of its scope in
the far west and the headquarters al
San Francisco will be a branch of the
main department The state of Cali
fornia will be in the jurisdiction oil
Mr.. Fromme. His work, also, will
take him into Oregon.
Accompanying Mr.. Fromme on his
| trip east is his bride of six months.

CHANGES NECESSARY
New Office May Be Estab-
Iished Owing to Growth
Of Postal Business.
HANDLEY MAY GET PLACE.

In the near future several changes
will be made at the local postoffice,
the most important of which will be
the probable creation of the office of
city delivery superintendent. Post
master ]. A. Spekenhier has recon-
mended to the postal authorities that
this office be created owing to the con-
stantly increasing business of the post
office and the steady growth of the
city, and he further recommends that
Lawrence A. Handley, one of the most
efficient carriers, be appointed to fill
this position. His duties would be to
supervise the delivery of all mail in
the city and to keep the efficiency rec
ord Of the carriers.
Joseph Treeber, who has been doing
clerical work and acting as a substi-
tute carrier, will probably be given a
carriers route. Lewis Newcomer
who is one of the night mail handlers,
will probably be assigned to day duty
and Clarence w. Foremer will be
placed on night duty. The appoint
ments Of Albert Meyer as sub clerk
and Joseph N. Blose, as sub carrier,
have been recommended.

Jones has been Changed from Left
halfback to left end. Clay going to the
vacant position behind the line. The
change was not proposed on account
of any dissatisfaction with Jones
work Clay is very speedy and clev-
er back and was only displaced by
Dalton because of the latter's punting
ability
Slingluff, center, is OF All Ameri-
can caliber. He is remarkably fast,
charges quickly and follows the ball
well. Reifsnider, right end; Leighton,
right tackle, and Wright, right guard,
all are veterans.
Take the army eleven from end to
end and behind the line and there Is
reason to believe that the players will
do better than the team of 1907. Dean
is a better kicker than West Point had
at any time last season.
In every game in which West Point
took part in the fall of 1907 the catch
ing of punts was enough to rack the
soul of any coach. The performance
Of the team this year is something like
the accomplishing of real catching. 1t
Is very satisfactory to players and
coaches as compared with the record
last fall.
The army's back field is strong one.
Che mberlin playing at fullback, Surls
at left half Greble right halfback and
Baehr fullback. In several scrim-
images this season Surls showed he has
his old time ground gaining power.
Chamberlin's long rest has done him
good. Wood, Kern and Hyatt have all
been tried out at quarter. Hyatt has
given many brilliant exhibitions in run
| ming back punts and also added many
gains with quarterbackrun Moss, right
guard, has recovered from his injured
knee, and Captain Philoon has been
playing a good strong game at center.

HEAVY FOG RESPONSIBLE FOR
ACCIDENT SUNDAY WHICH
MIGHT HAVE RESULTED IN
HORRIBLE CATASTROPHE.

New York, Nov. 23.-The lives of
more than 500 persons were imperilad
Sunday when the fruit steamer Admir-
al Dewey. inward bound from Jamaica
crashed Into the ste amer Mount Des-
ert, outward bound from Bay Ridge
for the fishing banks.
1t was only the nerve and quick
thoughts of the fruiter's captain that
prevented a catastrophe. He held the
PROV of his vessel into the hole in the
fishing vessels side while most of the
$50 passengers on the latter boat
jumped down to the decks of the Ad-
miral Dewey. There were some slight
ly injured, but no fatalities.
Heavy Fog on the Bay.
There was heavy fog on the lower
bay when tl1. Admiral Dewey, coming
suddenly out of fog bank, struck the
Mount Desert almost amidships, open
ing a cash in the fishing vessel that
extended from the upper deck to the
waters edge. The passengers on the
Dewey were at breakfast in the sa-
loon, but those on deck say that the
crew was blowing the fog blasts prop
erly.
When the collision occurred the i'm
pact threw large part of the fishing
boats passengers off their feet, but
the effect on the Dewey was slight.
There was panic on board the Mount
Desert in a moment and when the up.
set passengers regained their feet
they began to Jump to the decks of
the Dewey.
After the first shock of the collision
the Mount Desert came back almost
on an even keel and the hurricane
deck then was above the forward
deck of the Dewey. Men began boost
ing one another up to the Dewey until
sanity returned to them.
Realizing that if he backed his
steamer away many would have fall,
en- into the water, Capt. Davidson
kept the fruiter moving slowly ahead
and this held the PROV into the rent
that had been made and afforded a
boarding place for the frightened pas.
