The Proposition in the Hands OF the
Court for Final Adjudication.
The city council met Monday
evening and vassed the re
turns Of the city election held
tuesday Of last week. The re.
turns were the same as reported
in the last issue of this paper,
aud all officers weredecIared duly
elected
When the vote on the sale of
Intoxicating liquors was read,
considerable discussion followed,
on account of the incomplete re.
turns from the first and second
wards, on the ballots voted
wrong, and which were thrown
out. City Attorney Bouck had
advised the judges that he
thought it would be the best
plan to register the number Of
votes cast correctly, by making
the cross over the word yes
or mo, and also to make entry
of the mum Der of yes" and "no"
votes, where the cross was made
in the square IN front of the
word, but where the intention
was clearly evident. The judges
of the third ward had done this,
but the returns of the other
wards only showed the number
OF correct votes cast. Attorney
Howard Babcock spoke to the
council on behalf of the license
people, and said be did not see
how the council could act intelli-
gently on the returns as they
we're, being incomplete, and
that he thought the proper
method to take was to have the
judges of the several wards
meet, make out and return to
the city. council corrected and
amended returns on the license
vote. Attorney Rix stated that
like Mr., Babcock he had been
employed to look after the other
side, but that he could see no
reason why that was not the
proper and wise thing to do.
The mem bers of the council dis
Cussed the matter for some time,
and finally decided to do as ad-
vised. ALI parties agreed to
then make a full report of the
votes cast, the correctly Y mark
ed and incorrectly marked,
and lay the matter before the
circuit Judge and abide by his
decision. A motion was made
bv Alderman Farley that the
board ask the judges to make
amended returns on the license
vote, which vas seconded and
carried. and the council adjourn
ed to Wednesday evening at 81
o'clock.

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1909-02-15

in turn filtered through all the chan
nels of trade, an era of extravaganza
was inaugurated, resulting in importa-
tions which have run as high as
1,450,0 100000 in a single year. 1t is
safe to say that large part Of these
importations consisted Of silks, wines,
diamonds, rare old pictures and other
luxuries, with which the rich usually
indulge themselves. In other words,
the farmer not only opened the facto-
ries of the country by his enormous
purchases of machinery, clothing,
boots and shoes, barbed wire, ETC.,
thereby affording employment to hun
dreds of thousands of wage-earners
previously idle, but he made business
so good for the railroads, that such
men as j. Pierpont Morgan were able
to go to Europe, according to news
paper reports, and pay as high as
100000 for single picture.
The beginning of our late era Of
prosperity was in 1898, or little over
year after McKinley's election. The
direct cause of that revival of trade
was a shortage of the wheat crop In
Europe, which resulted in a demand
for American wheat, -four and other
farm products abroad, created by nat
ural rather than legislative conditions,
supplemented by England's South Afri-
can war and the Spanish-American
war. Then came an increase of price for
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1909-02-15

farm products, which brought to this
country in the form of favorable bal
ance of trade sum averaging nearly
S500,000,000 year. That money cre-
ated new energies, which resulted In
the refurnishing of old households, the
building of new houses, the creation
of new cities, the building of new rail-
roads, the opening Of new factories,
and thus raised us from the hopeless
poverty which had existed to plane
of national and individual extrava-
gance never equalled in the history of
the world, not even during the deca-
dent days or the Roman Empire.
Another element, and most i'm
portant one, which has contributed to
the prosperity of the country Is the
gold and silver product. Commencing
with the year of 1896 and ending In
the year 1906, the gold and silver out-
put Of the United States, including the
gold output Of the Alaska Yukon dis
trict, amounted to $1,181 ,698,997 COM
mercial value, or sum equal to STATS
per capita for the 80,000,000 people of
the United States.
We made money so fast and became
SO imbued with our own personal and
national greatness, that we actually re-
fused to give credit to God Almighty
for the blessings showered upon us In
the way of bounteous crops and the
financial betterment OF man.

BOMB IN THE CRETAN CHAMBER
SUPPOSED TO BE WORK OF AN
NEXATIoNISTS.
Building Unoccupied at Time and
But Little Damage Is Done
by Explosion.

CANEA, Crete. November l6.-A cylin-
der filled with dynamite cartridges was
exploded i'm the hall of the chamber OF
deputies late last night. The building
was unoccupied at the time and the dam
age was comparatively insignificant. The
defamation was heard throughout the city
and threw the pOpulace into a panic.
The outrage is attributed to the an
nexationists. whose object, ii is supposed,
was to break up a meeting which it was
expected the chamber would hold for the
formation of a new government to re-
place the provisional administration.
The bomb explosion at Canea is prob
ably another symptom of trouble which
became acute last July. when the Gre
tans, who favored the annexation of the
island to Greece. hoisted the Greek flag
on the fortress of Canea. Upon protest
from Turkey. to whose suZerainty Crete
Is subject. and the command of the pow
ers, Great Britain. Russia, France. and
Italy, this movement was suppressed.
The annexationists have. however. con-
tinued to be a party Of some power and
influence.
