MANY SURPRISES
DUE TO ELECTION
SMOKE CLEARED AWAY, FOUR
STATES VIEW RESULTS
HadIey, Harmon, Shallenberger and
Marshall Run Far Ahead of Their
Tlckets-Returns Almost
Complete

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 1O.-The cleo
ton of 1908 will be distinguished in
history for the unusual amount of
scratching, or voting of split ballots,
that was done in many of the states.
This breaking away from party lines by
tens of thousands of voters in the mid
die west was productive of many sur
prises.
Notable among these is the election
of Herbert s. Hadley, Republican, in
Missouri. Mr.. Hadley, If final returns
show that he is elected, will be the
first governor Missouri has elected on
a straight Republican ticket since 1859,
when Joseph w. McClurg gained the
office. b. Gratz Brown and Silas Wood
son in 1871 and 1873, respectively, were
elected on what was known as the
Liberal Republican and Democratic"
ticket. Thereafter there was an un-
broken line of Democratic governors
in the state. Judson Harmon, Demo-
crat, in Ohio; Thomas r. Marshall,
Democrat, in this state (Indiana), and
A. c. Shallenberger, Democrat, in Ne
braska, may also be classed as sur
prise" governors.
The count of the official returns at
the Indiana secretary of states office
for governor was completed here yes
terday.
Thomas r. Marshall, Democrat, for
governor received a total vote on
34S, $40, and James f. Watson, Repub-
lican, SS4O40, a plurality for Marshall
of 14S09.

Socialists Gain Substantial

The Socialist candidate for governor
received 1925, substantial increase
over four years ago.
The Independence candidate polled
but 3s3 votes and the Peoples party
got 573, loss of S54 from the vote OF
four years ago.
F. T. McWhirter, Prohibitionist can
didate for governor, obtained 1925
votes, a loss of 1864 votes from that
polled in 1904.
Late last night the secretary of
states office completed the totals on
five additional state offices.
Frank G. Hall, Democrat, for lieuten-
ant governor, received a plurality OF
1872; Fred A. Sims, Republican, for
secretary of state, was successful by
a plurality of 492; James Bingham,
Republican, for attorney general, re-
ceived a plurality of 1888; Oscar Had
ley, Republican, for treasurer of state,
won by a plurality of S37, and John
Bi1lheimer, Republican, for auditor,
was elected by a plurality of 1888.
The official count so far gives the
Democrats the governor and lieutenant
governor. The Republicans have the
secretary of state, attorney general,
auditor and treasurer.
Returns collected in Ohio yesterday
on the state ticket show that Charles
W. Green, Republican, is defeated for
treasurer. Numerous mistakes in re-
turns have been found. 1t now seems
certain no Republican on the ticket
save Harris and Green was beaten.

LED THE YAKIMA COUNTRY.
Fruit Crop fol
Past Year Beat Washington's
Famous Country.

Quite reef is taken in the sails
of the famous Yakima country when
the -Freewater district springs
into the limelight with figures which
show that as a fruit country, Yaki-
ma is a back number and plays sec
ond fiddle to just a part Of the Walla
Walla valley, says the Waitsburg
Times.
According to statistics given out
Yakima last year shipped $450,000
worth of fruit. Milton-Freewater
went them $4,000 better, shipping a
total valuation of fruit amounting to
$4,000.
This is a great plum for the Mil
ton. .Freowater district to pull out Of
The northwest fruit pie. 1t lowers
the colors of the proud Yakima and
hoists instead those of the Walla
Walla valley. -Freewater Is
not yet developed. This year her
figures will be more interesting and
the year after still more.

ADJUSTMENTS
The Toymaker" Enjoyed.

The Spokesman Review says OF
''The Toymaker," which will be pre-
sented at the oregon theater in this
city on Wednesday night, March 49,:
Daphne Pollard, who, as a member
OF the Pollard Juvenile Opera compa-
ny, was prime favorite with Spokane
audiences when that organization was
here, last night revived and added to
the good opinions she formerly Great
ed.
As Elsie, daughter of the "Toymak-
err" in the play Of that name which
was presented by the San Francisco
Opera company at the Spokane thea
ter, she displayed remarkable ability
and a charming personality. Wheth-
er as the imitation doll or the living
girl, she gave an exhibition of artis-
tic talent suitable to the part that Won
instant and unqualified admiration.
She has much to do in the play and
she does it we'll at all times.
Teddy Webb, who made a hit in his
appearance in The Alaskan" was to
have taken the part of the Toymaker,
but was prevented by Illness. His
place was acceptably filled by Frank
Bertrand, who had been cast for an
other part, and though many missed
Webb, they were not disappointed in
the substitute. '.'r
The company throughout was a
good one and the performance was
thoroughly enjoyed by an audience
that filled the seating capacity of the
house.

oozY CORNER oUss WORDS.
New Plan Adopted by Telephone
Girls TO Give Vent 60 Feelings.

ulrls 10 UlNe vent 20 foeungS.
Swearing even in thoughts, is a
relief to some people. This is partic-
ularly true. 1t is said. among tele-
phone girls.
HELL" reads a little red and
white sign over the desk of the tele-
phone girls at the oregon kotel, says
the Portland Journal. This laconic
sign answers the purpose in more
ways than one.
other telephone girls have adopted
this plan of relieving their minds, it
is said.
There is nothing so aggravating to
the human brain, 1t is said, as the
telephone. Ordinarily one cannot
talk back to it, or even II he could he
might be heard by the boss. And
this wouldn't do at ALL especially IL
swear words were used in some of
the said back talks.
So these cards with "hell" or
dam" or some other appropriate
mind-relieving remark printed there
on are becoming more popular than
ever, particularly among the frater-
nifty of telephone maidens, so 1t is
said.
Whenever anything goes wrong and
the dainty little operator feels like
swearing she just points or looks at
the sign.
Her mind is relieved and she goes
back to work.
Number, please" she says, just as
pleasantly as you please.

FORESTRY PROSPECTS IN q. S.
Russia, Sweden, Austria Hungary and
Canada Making Good the Wood De-


Russia, Sweden Austria Hungary
and Canada, are making good the
wood deficit Of a large part of the
world. Sweden cuts much more
wood (1O6,O0O.O0O cubic feet) than
she produces; Russia In spite Of her
enormous forest resources, has prob
ably entered the same road; and
England the leading importer OF
wood, must count more and more on
Canada. But the United States con-
sumes every year three to four times
the wood which its forests produce,
and in due time will doubtless take
all the wood that Canada can spare.
In other words, unless the countries
Of the western hemisphere apply for
estry promptly and thoroughly, they
will one day assuredly be held re-
sponsible for a worldwide timber
famine.
In the comparison with foreign
countries the prospects for forestry
in the United States are particularly
bright, for the following reasons:
() We start with the assistance
that success can certainly be attain
ed.
(2) We have few of the handi-
caps which have trammeled other
countries. We have no ancient forest
rights and usages with which to con-
tend, or troublesome property ques-
tions to settle.
CD The results which other lands
have achieved by long struggle, often
with bitter cost, are free to us to
use as we wish. We have, it is true
our purely national and local forest
questions. but the key to many OF
them is somewhere in the keeping of
the countries which have achieved
(4) In variety combined with VAL
ue our forests are without a parallel
in the world. They produce timber
to the greatest variety of
uses so that, except to meet shortage,
importations of wood are necessary.
Furthermore, transportation facilities
enable Us to make every forest re-
gion available. Thus, by specializing
our forest management, each kind OF
forest may be made to yield the kind
of material for which 1t is best adapt
ed, and the wastes due to compul-
sorry use of local supplies may be
practically eliminated.

IDAHO PINE FOR MATCHES.
Potlath Lumber Company Signs
Huge Contract for Lumber.

Undoubtedly the largest lumber
is ready for the signatures in Pot
latch and will be in effect today,
whereby the Weyerhaeuser syndicate
known as the Potlatch Lumber COM
pany, agrees to furnish the Diamond
Match company 40,000000 feet Of
white pine lumber annually, the life
of the contract being 20 years, says
a dispatch from Moscow, Idaho.
Driven into the timber belt of the
west the Diamond Match company
has been seeking a choice white pine
lumber, which is used in manufacture
ing matches. They purchased Is
sample cars several weeks ago, and
after the lumber was given a test at
the factory in Oshkosh, Wis, the COM
pany returned to purchase more tim
ber.
No price has been announced, but
as the lumber is choice white pine IT
is estimated that the price will aver
age $50 a thousand board feet. The
Potlatch mill will be compelled to
work night and day to turn out this
amount Of timber and fill other con-
tracts, so that a night force will soon
be employed. This will give employ
ment to at least $50 additional men
and viii mean an increase in the pop
ulation Of $50 for the mill town.
The Diamond Match company will
probably cut the lumber at the mill.
This IS what they term blocking the
wood They cut and split the timber
into small blocks about the length Of
a match. These blocks are tied in |
bundles and shipped to the match |
factory. A portion will be shipped to
San Francisco and the remainder to |
eastern factories.
