LOCAL ELECTION IS
VERY QUIET AFFAIR
Not Apathy but Resoluteness
Marks Voters in Most of
the Precincts

THE quietest election day I've ever
seenw
This was the verdict of hundreds OF
people in the thirtieth, thirty first, thir-
ty-second and thirty fifth districts yes
terday, and it was reiterated in the
present and past tense all through the
afternoon.
There were few incidents and no ex-
.trava CANT enthusiasm. Not that the
condition of abnormal calm was also
|'oneFof apathy-on the contrary. there
was a resoluteness in the easy, con-
fident manner of the voters who
dropped Unto their precinct booths one
or two at "a. time, never more than two
at a time. They seemed to have de-
cided weeks ago just what they were
going to do and had no intention of
allowing any one to influence that de-
cision.
In the thirty-ffth district. which is
the mob hill of the Mission, the voting
started with the opening of the booths.
but In the 81 precincts there was at no
time anything even remotely resem-
bling rush Also there was no elec-
tioneering done in this district, no fire.
works and no evidence of blind pigs"
The vote was large and evenly distrib-
uted throughout the day-at noon the
percentage cast in the whole district
was about so. The feeling here was
that the straight republican ticket was
winning, except split on the judges
and a heavy leaning to Dunno.
Scotia's stronghold is in the thirty
first and Scottish calm was there, too.
One brawny Perthshire Presbyterian
with a perennial frown which failed to
hide a perennial twinkle in steady. blue
orbs, stood at the 100 feet line and with
painful and heroic suppression of racial
prejudice entertained little crowd
into which he gathered booth bound
voters.

ORIGINATOR OF BASEBALL.
Gen. Abner Doubleday Is Credited
With Honor BY Spaulding's Base
Bah Guide.

The discovery that the modern
game of baseball originated in the
mind of the late General Abner Dou-
bleday would have immensely sur
prised that old warrior. perhaps, had
he lived to enjoy such unexpected
honors. That he originated the
game cannot, OF course, be affirmed
with the utmost confidence, for the
testimony gathered by the special
committee, whose report is printed
in Spaulding's baseball guide for the
present year, scarcely pretends to do
more than affirm that the most ex-
haustive investigation carries the
game no further back than young
Doubleday's performance in marking
out a diamond for ball players about.
the year 1889.
That he did this one day is the evil
dence Of an elderly individual who
claims to have been present at the
time, and whose veracity and COM
potency as a witness the COMMITTEES
unreservedly acknowledges. That the
idea of the diamond, the salient struc-
tural characteristics Of baseball would
have had its birth in the military
mind Of one like Doubleday is argu-

HITS CURB STONE DEALERS.
Salem Judge Upholds City Ordinance
Protecting Legitimate Real Estate

Judge Burnett made an important
ruling yesterday affecting the city
ordinance relative to the licensing Of
real estate brokers. The rule an.
nounced was in the case of s. Page,
plaintiff VS.. C. w. Brasher, defend
ant. wherein plaintiff brought an ac-
tion against defendant for a real es-
tate commission amounting to $780,
25, says the Salem Statesman. Brasil
er appeared by his attorneys. John
II. and c. L. McNary, and filed an
answer alleging among other things
that the sale was made within the
corporate limits of Salem, and that
the plaintiff had not compiled with
the city ordinance in that he failed
to procure a license to sell real es-
tate and therefore could not main
tain an action to recover his commits
sion
TIE plaintiff, through his attorney
Mr.. Pogue, filed a demurrer to the
answer upon the ground that the or
dinance was defective In that the
Legislation did not delegate the au-
thority to the city to impose a tax
upon real estate brokers and that the
ordinance imposed a tax rather than
a license
The case was argued some time ago
and taken under advisement and de-
cided by the court yesterday. The
demurrer was overruled which holding
sustains the city ordinance and makes
1t legally impossible for a real estate
man to recover his commission unless
he has a license from the city.
The validity of the ordinance has
been questioned for some time, but
yesterdays ruling removes all doubt
The decision Is body blow to the
"curb-stoners," whose only offices are
on the street corners and who pay no
license and usually not a great deal

WATER FROM JACKSON LAKE.
Big Irrigation Project TO Reclaim
Idaho Land


The American Falls Canal & Power
company has made application for an
acre-foot of water for every acre
under the Carey project here from
the government reclamation reser-
volr at Jackson's Lake, says the
American Falls Press.
This water is additional to the water
right sold by the company, but 1t is
not incumbent upon any land owner
to purchase it unless he so desires
The system is being put in by the
government to insure against possible
unfavorable years. The water will be
sold at actual cost, which is estimated
at from so cents to 81 per acre.
The government is building an i'm
mense storage reservoir, holding the
flood waters Of the early spring
months, for use In the late summer
and fall. The Twin Falls and other
systems will use water from the res
ervoir. The American Falls company,
however, is the first to make appli-
cation.
The water will be sold in Install
ments and IL the cost is 81 per acre,
will amount to only 10 cents an acre,
for 10 years, without interest. There
is little probability that 1t will ever
be needed, but It is such cheap insur-
ance that most land owners will prob
ably buy 1t.
The water rights provide for the
delivery by the company of two and
one-half acre-feet per year to the
land. This is for the irrigating sea-
son, covering about six months, which
is about double the rainfall Of the
Mississippi valley, which will be read
lily understood as being ample for all

ed plausibly, and one may accept the
theory Of his being the real founder
OF the game, so long as there Is no
better account of its origin. It is a
pity that this interesting discovery
was not made before General Double
days death in 1893.
He could have thrown some light
upon the question. probably The fact
that he had never advanced a claim
to being the founder OF American
baseball is not necessarily adverse to
the conclusion of the committee. for
the general was interested in Other
things than sport
