crops and high prices will result to the
advantage Of the republican candidate.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Concord, N. H. Oct. 31-New
Hampshire is solid for Taft and Will
give him at least 10000 plurality. The
entire electoral vote is assul ed, al
though labor organizations have criti-
cised his labor decisions, and although
before the republican national con-
vention there was little Taft senti-
ment in this state. Both congression-
al districts have renominated the pres
ent republican representatives, who
will be reelected.
VERMONT.
Burlington, VT, Oct. 31.-In the last
seven Presidential elections the repub-
lican plurality in Vermont has not
varied more than two thousand votes
from that given the State ticket in the
September election previous although
that plurality has ranged from 1902
in 1892 to 1891 four years later.
MICHIGAN.
Grand Rapids, Mich, Oct. 31-That
Taft will carry Michigan is conceded
even by the democrats. He will not
receive the $4,000 majority given
Roosevelt In 1904, nor the $4,000 Nc
Kinley majority of 1900, but his plu-
rality, nevertheless, will run well up
into the five figures. There will. from
present indications, be a considerable
drift of the industrial vote in the cit
les to Bryan, but the farmer vote will
abide with the republicans almost as
unanimously as ever.
OREGON.
Portland, Ore, Oct. 31.-Oregon will
probably give Taft between 5000 and
10000 plurality. Republicans claim the
state by 10000, against $1,000 given
Roosevelt at the last election. Demo
Gratis have hopes of carrying the state
and such thing is a possibility but
not a probability. The campaign car
ried on by both parties has not beer
very aggressive owing to the lack o.
funds. and the voters are apparently
apathetic.

Elinor Glyn's Three Weeks of con-

to arrest wearers of sheath gowns
have been recent topics of discussion.
The extent of Comstocks work can be

Athens, Ohio, Oct. 31.-A minimum

field over carefully, and has reached
the conclusion that conditions do not
justify the prediction of a larger vote

A political campaign without the
Grosvenor forecast would be as incom-

has come to be a necessity-in con-

Bugs Wanted

MIR. a. L. Melander, the entomolo.
gist of the experiment station at Pull.
man was here Tuesday and Wednesday
seeking information about a new apple
boring insect. This insect makes its
appearance about picking time as a
little green worm about one half OF
an inch long which feeds on the flesh OF
the apple. This insect has been sent
to the experiment station each year
for the last four or five years, but in
each case it has come from Whatcom
county. When the worms were kept
in jars they developed in the spring
into little brownish wasp which is
known as the saw-hy. The new pest is
remarkable in it's feeding habits, for
all the other sawfies whose habits are
known feed on leaves, and none are
known to attack fruit. MIR. Melander
is anxious to find out how prevalent
the insect is and would like any OF our
readers who have had any experience
with the insect To write to him at Pull

IMPORTANT INDUSTRY
LYnden Cement Plant a Big
Thing for Lynden

The process of cementing rock ma
terials together was understood to
some extent thousands ofyears ago, and
inc arliest history we read of stone mas
onry being done but to make artificial
stone better, stronger and more SER
viceable than the genuine article is an
achievement of the 10Th century and it
promises to revolutionize the world of
architecture, if it has not done SO al
ready.
Edfices built of it present the sub
stantial. massive and imposing appear
anee that stone structures always do
and it is not nearly SO expensive.
Last winter Mr.. f. M. Smith INSTALL
ed bis little cement plant near the fer
ry to the Stickney Home but in the few
months it has been running he has
been obliged to increase its capacity Y
several times and he is getting orders
from all over the country for his pro-
duct.
He uses the new process of facing
which has materially added TO his sue
cess as his cement never crum bles but
becomes more durable with age. He
has at the present time in his plant, a
Francisco face-down block machine
which, as has been said, is Ii great i'm
provement upon the old side-facing
machines: combination brick and
block machine: cell and cap machine;
4. ss.. -ursre. devices for moiding the ce-
ment into almost any shape or size one
may desire. He has an unlimited num-
ber of designs for bricks, such as bead
ed. corrugated. shield. paneled, quirk
cornered, acorned. Intel, etc. Among
the larger designs are door sills, entab
lature blocks, urns, columns and steps.
In fact if he hasn't what you want on
hand. he says all you have to do is to
leave your order and they will turn it
out for you.
One of the first buildings in the city
to be built out of the product of this
plant is the fancy Lynden creamery
near the B. B. depot. a great deal OF
it is being used in the City for founda-
tions, and for porch and fence fixtures
We believe this is great thing for
LINDEN and that the people of Lynden
ought to visit the plant and see for
themselves some of the great things
that are being done there.

fact that he couldn't buy 10
cent picture of Senator Ankeny

done ofall his other noble friends.

that he does not believe in pro

able local option law such as
his colleages in Bellingham con-
templated when they introduced
the plank at the Bellingham and
Spokane Conventions and similar
to the local option bill that Gov.
Mcbride vetoed, would suit the
gentleman exactly. The bill Nc
Bride vetoed was so reasonable
that the saloon man had the peo-
pie and the government right by
the throat where he could choke
them every time they "hollered'.
Attorney G. A. Sather told a
few funny stories and then
launched into a long discourse
on the "corroborative evidence
law which is as old as the hills.
A similar law has been in force
in many of the eastern states
for years and tried to make
out that it was such a great feat
