HEAVIEST VOTE IN HISTORY.
Official Returns of Vote for President
dives Taft Clear Majority
Over All.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The total
popular vote of the presidential cam
didates at the last national election
was made known today in an official
form by the filing of the last of the
official vote, that of Michigan. The
total shows the following votes cast:
Taft, Republican, 7,637,G76.
Bryan. Democrat, 6,393,1S2.
Debs, Socialist, 44S,471.
Chafin, Prohibitionist, 241,252.
Higsen, Independence, S3,1S6.
Watson, Populist, 1851.
Gillhaus, Socialist-Labor, 15,421.
Total for all candidates, 14,S52,-
239.
This grand total exceeds by 1,341,-
531 the total number of votes cast
in the presidential election of 1904,
when the grand total was 13,51O,-
70S. 1t is also the largest vote cast
in the history of the country, though
the 1896 and 1900 totals both ex-
ceeded that of 1904.
Compared with the election of
1904, the candidates of the Republi-
can, Democratic and Socialist par
ties increased their vote this year.
The reverse is true of the candidates
Of the Prohibition, Populist and So
cialist-Labor parties. The Indepen-
dence party did not figure in the
presidential election four years ago.
Taft has a clear majority of all the
votes cast.
The biggest difference in a party
vote is shown in an increase for Bry.
an of 1,315,211 over the total vote
cast in 1904 for Alton B. Parker
the Democratic candidate. Taft re-
ceived 14,190 votes more than were
polled for President Roosevelt in
1904, and Debs ran 45,36S ahead OF
his predecessor on the Socialist
ticket.

FARMING IN SCHOOLS.
Supt-Elect McKillip Proposes t,
Change Athletic Exercises to
Something Useful.

County Superintendent-ele N. D.
McKillip, who was in the city Tues
day, says that his proposition to es-
tablish manual training, domestic
science and agriculture in the schools
of the county is meeting with favor
and will undoubtedly be taken up
and adopted. He estimates that it
will cost $1,000 year. He believes
that the result will be far more prac-
tical than a great deal of the work
in the schools at the present time.
Mr.. McKillip says he is opposed to
athletics in the schools for the rea-
son that they do not help the students
that athletics should be designed to
help. For instance, only the pupils
who are strong are selected for the
work, while the weaker ones who
would be benefited by the exercise
are barred. He regards basket ball
as detrimental to the morals of girls.

ROOT WANTS JOB
Depends on Whitewash by Commit.
tee to Enable Him to Go Back
on Bench.

OLYMPIA, Dec. 15.-That former
Supreme Judge Milo A. Root is seri-
ously considering the resumption of
his seat on the bench at the begin
elected November 3, is made here to-
day on unquestionable authority.
Friends of the former justice are
now sounding sentiment in high
places in the state government and
unless strong opposition is found to
this course on the part of Judg >
Root he may be expected to presen.
himself next month to take the oath
of office.
Judge Root and his friends, it is
stated here, have become convinced
that his resignation in the first place
was a serious mistake. 1t is admitted
only that he has been guilty of in
discretions in which there was moth
ing criminal. 1t is claimed that for
these indiscretions Judge Root has
been punished enough, and that he
will go back on the bench with his
eyes opened to the consequences af
putting his thoughts in written let
ters to intimate friends.
1t is also claimed that the report
of the state bar association will dis
close nothing beyond matters of in
discretion and that in fact there is
nothing more to be discovered.

GOV. COSGROVE
RECOVERING

FOR INAUGURATION.
a Telegram from His Son Says He Is
in Better Condition Than at ANY
Time Since Last Nav. Is Now
Able to Talk About His Political
Battle.

WALLA WALLA, Dec. 15.-In tel
egram sent to Eugene Lorton, editor
of the Evening Bulletin, from Paso
Robles, Howard G. Cosgrove states
that his father, S. G. Cosgrove, is
nearer himself than he has been at
any time since the republican state
convention in May. The telegram
goes into detail as to his fathers con-
dition and is the first authoritative
statement sent out from the family.
The telegram states that he reached
Paso Robles Thursday, having re-
ceived message from his mother,
Monday, that his father was worse.
Howard Cosgrove wires:
81 found that Morday father had
not been expected to live twenty-four
hours, but that Monde y noon he had
braced up little and had held his
own until about Thursday noon, when,
to the surprise of everyone, including
the physicians, one by one the alarm
ing symptoms began to disappear.
"The change for the good has con-
tinued steadily, and father today is
nearer himself than he has been at
any time since he was taken sick fol-
lowing the republican state conven-
tion in Spokane last May. He spent
much of yesterday talking oyer the
recent political battle in Washington
and his plans as the next governor of
that state.
"The remarkable change from such
a discouraging outlook to such hope
full one is little short of miraculous
and is undoubtedly due to combina-
ton of many things. At all times he
has been full Of the belief that he
would recover and is especially de-
termined to serve the next four years
as Washington's governor. Ofcourse,
father is still very thin and weak, for
he has had hard campaign with this
sickness. 1t will take some time for
him to become as strong as he would
wish, but unless some unforeseen re-
current difficulty appears he will soon
be walking around Paso Robles a
much different man."

right OF Way MIXED
union pacific and PROPERTY
OWNERS DISAGREE.
Owners Allege The Railroad Oeman1S
Would Block Free Access TO the
Water Front of Aberdeen. Each
Side Makes Statement Contradict
the Other.

There is a notable divergence of
opinion upon each side of the I'm
ion Pacific Railroad controversy
over the right-of-way through Alb
erdeen. Owners of the land allege
the railroad seeks to block the wa
terfront, while representative of
the Union Pacific deny emphatically
any such intention, and assert that
the excessive price placed upon the
land desired is the only stumbling
block.
In a newspaper interview given
out by w. w. Eastman, president of
the Western Cooperage Co., in Port
land, that gentleman says:
agents of the Union Pacific have
approached us several times asking
for a right-of-way, thirty feet wide,
for the most part, through our hold
ings in Aberdeen. At one point this
right-of-way widens to 100 feet. The
land desired stretches clear the
length of our property-S10 feet, on
the south side of River street, paral-
lei with and fronting on that street.
We have had no difficulty in agree
ing on price and other terms until
it has come to the question of cross
ing rights. Naturally, we want to
cross this 30-foot strip, as our bus
mess requires. Equally, of course, we
want to effect some arrangement
WHEREBY we can retain the switching
tracks, which we built at our own
expense, to be connected at one end
with the Union Pacific and at the
other with the Northern Pacific. And
just at this point the negotiations
have been invariably broken off. The
Union Pacific would not consider
anything but the exclusive right to
the 30-fOt strip. 1t would not grant
a roadway for teams or even foot
path across the right-of-way.
1--WE consider this whole thing
an attempt on the part of the rail-
road to lock up the water frontage
of the city, and as such it is an out
rage on the people of Aberdeen and
an unjust hardship on those men
who have built up their business
along the river front.
1--WE stand willing, if other prop
erty owners will agree, to donate to
the city that 30-foot strip free of
cost, and let the railway ask fran
chise to it of the city. Does that
look like an excessive demand?'
On the other hand, Attorney J. B.
Bridges, counsel for the railroad,
says the company has no desire to
block the water front; that 1t is
willing to have as many street cross
ings as are necessary, in reason, but
that they feel that the price owners
place on their holdings are unreas-
enable and unwarranted, and that
the cost would not justify the COM
pany in building there. A route is
being surveyed on the south side, in
an effort to secure a crossing Of the
Chehalis river farther west. Here
are two statements distinctly oppos-
ite, each to be taken for what it is
worth.

You forget your troubles, and your tenn perature drops just a little. What a handsome facei And how ugly the faces of the others by com parison! The other women are better dressed than she, some of them, but They spoil all their beauty by the in- sistent grouch they carry. And the more grouchy the hotter they become-and the uglier.
 There's another face-a mans face. Good humor radiates from every van tage point. Jollity is bodied forth from scalp lock to double chin He perspires. but smiles. He mops his face, but his eyes are saying, "It's always warm in summer" He appears to be little cool CT than the others. He really is cooler.
 How is that?
 Why, there's physical heat and men tai heat That Is to say, you are warm You say to yourself I'm hot" You go on believing you are hot and saying, My, but it's hot" The result is-and this is entirely scientifc-you pile men tai heat on top of physical heat. You are hot in body. You also get hot In mind.
 The best way to save yourself the heat is to forget it. Smile and cool off
 And, whatever you do, If you must put on a hot weather face, keep it to yourself Don't put 1t into circulation.
