the valley Of the Rio Grande and for
tunately is scarce and hard to get.
Chewing this button causes the most
gorgeously colored scenes to appear be-
fore the entranced vision, far surpass-

magnificent sunsets. 1t would seem to
be the drug for landscape painters,
but unfortunately, whatever other
things drugs do, they never increase
efficiency. 1t was first discovered

May End Cruise at New York,

New York, Sept. 16.-There is con
siderable speculation among the mem
bers OF the Maritime Exchange as to
whether the Atlantic battleship feet
will end its world cruise at New York
or whether the navy department will
decide that the final destination Of the
fleet shall be Norfolk. Unless the
navy department has good reason to
the contrary it is believed that sudl-
Gent pressure will be brought upon
the department to have the cruise end
here.

PRIMARY ELECTION
Continued from First Page

the, office of sheriff, treasurer and
auditor are still in doubt, with pros
poets of L. Jensen winning as
auditor, Edward Barness as sheriff
and no telling who will be elected as
treasurer.
There is no doubt of the re-elec-
ton of E. H. Ref as clerk of court
or M. E. Willborg for judge of pro-
bate.
The majority given Opsahl . is
accounted for from the fact that
Funkley was little known through
out the county, except for a few
friends at Bagley, there apparently
being but little work done in Clear
water county for Funkley.

Gardner, Democrat, remaining at
1893, with twenty-five small towns and
tWenty-six plantations still to report.
a complete poll of the vote is not ex.
pected for several days.
The feature of the election was the
increase in the Democratic vote
throughout the state. Every one OF
the four congressional districts showed
gains, the increase over 1904 being
$4,000 votes and 1000 over 1906. These
gains were made almost entirely in
the rural districts, showing generally
the popularity of Mr.. Gardner among
the farmers of the state The Repub-
lican vote also was greater by 5000
than in 1906, but it fell 1000 below
the vote in 1904. The Republicans
also made good gains in the rural dis.
tricts and in addition regained six
cities in the state, which left the mu-
inequalities evenly divided between
the two parties. All the Republican
candidates for congress were elected.
The incoming legislature will be
strongly Republican in both branches.
