Very Little Interest Taken in the
Election Held Tuesday.
Only Two Hundred and Sixty
Five Turned Out to the
Polls.

Never before in the history of
Washburn has the vote in the
city been as light as it was on
Tuesday. Only two hundred
and sixty-hve, twenty-nine of
whom were women, turned out
to the polls and cast their votes
for the different candidates.
The fact that there were very
few contests in the city caused
the lack of interest to be taken
and over half of the voters stayed
away from the polls. The vote
on State Superintendent Of
schools was Hooper 181, Cary So,
Wood 13, and Hewitt 10. John
Barnes received 155 votes as
Justice of the Supreme Court.
William FL. irish was reelected
to the office of County Judge,
having a vote of213. The follow
ing were chosen for city Offices:
Aldermen-D. w. Corning, f.
A. Bell, Andrew Nelson, Charles
Taberman, D. j. Estabrook and
John EN- bury.
Supervisors-Luther Bates,
E. Bergman, George Mertz,
Ole Aune, A. l. Lien and Ole
Ram stead.
There were contests in the
second ward where L, FL. Robin
son opposed E. Bergman for
Supervisor, fifth ward between
A. |. Lien and George A. Calder
and sixth ward between Angus
Ross and John Embery for AL
derman and Ole Ramstead and
p. HI. Finley for Supervisor.

Storm PlayS Havoc With the E!ec-
tric and Telephone Companies.
It Will be Some Time Before
the Damage can be
Repaired.

There were very few of those
who we're at home on Tuesday
evening that realized the amount
Of damage that was being done
by the storm that ragged out of
doors. The storm did not ap-
pear to be any worse than other
storms of the winter but the
damage that was done will run
up into thousands of dollars and
it will besome time before things
can be gotten IN shape again.
The storm started in Tuesday
afternoon and continue ed through
out the night. About eight
inches of snow fell during that
time. The snow was wet and
wherever it struck it clung fast.
This is what done the damage.
The telephone and electric light
wires and poles could not stand
the immense weight and conse-
quently they had to give way.
A heavy wind accompanied the
storm and this together with the
weight of the snow snapped off
the wires and poles as if they
were so many threads. Every
thing was a tangled mass on
Wednesday morning and large
crews of men were set TO work
10 try and clear up the awful
tangle of wire and poles.
Down on lower Bayfield, street
she most damage was dole
where the wind could get a clear
sweep at the tall polls. For two
blocks the poles and wires are
LII down and it has the appear
'.nce as if a cyclone had struck
