DAVIS ELECTED JUDGE
Gilmore County Senator Elected 10
District Judgeship in Ada and Boise

Senator Carl A. Davis was success
ful i'm his race against Fremont Wood
and won by a handsome majority.
In speaking of the returns and his
election the Statesman says:
Totals that have been compiled
for Ada county in the race between
Fremont Wood and Carl A. Davis for
the Office of district judge as 1868.
Wood carried only eight of the 80
precincts in the county which have
been heard from. AS in other returns
Mountain Home maverick. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1906-1911, 1910-11-10

from Ada county, Orchard precinct,
containing 30 votes. has not been
heard from. In some of the precincts
the race was close, Fair Grounds
and Ten Mile giving each candidate
the same number of votes, and Woo I
losing precincts No. by just one
vote, but in other localities Wood
was hoplessly defeated.
Returns from Boise county which
comprises the balance of the Third
judicial district, are not at hand. but
as Boise is nominally a strong dem
ocratic county, it is expected TINT
Wood will lose heavily in that part
of the district.

course Of the service a crowd of per.
sons fully 40 strong entered and seat.

service continued with the clergyman
congratulating himself on his unusual
ly large congregation when suddenly
the door opened and a man stuck in
his head

. loud whisper
Instantly the late comers arose en-
masse and rushed to the door. The
pastor was SO perplexed at the strange
occurrence that after service he spoke
to one OF the yestry who had been
standing by the door.

FOR this reason an Australian tribe

African tribes a hole is knocked In the
wall OF hut in which man dies. and
the corpse is carried through that In

the spirit of the dead man may not
be able to find its way back. Some
Bornean tribes have a similar dread

Mesa county still expects a
fifty per cent fruit crop. A half
crop this year should be of about
as much value as a full crop in an
ordinary year. No estimates
from authoritative reports have
been made for Delta county.
There are orchards which will be
well loaded with fruit. There
are other orchards in which the
crop will be light, in some of
them because of overbearing last
year, and in others because of
frost effects, the damage from
frost being greater in some or
chards than in others. All in
all, Delta county will have lots
of fruit, and the quality will be
finer because of the less heavily
loaded condition of the trees.

Trip of Interstate Auto

From Denver to Delta.
The lew Interstate car bought
by Travis and Castle this week
through the Meyer Mercantile COM
pany, Delta agents, made the trip
from Denver to Delta via Colorado
Springs and over FIVE mountain
passes, as follows:
Denver to Canon City, 1913 miles,
gasoline liz gallons, oil 2 quarts.
Canon City to Salida, S3 miles,
via Silon Cliff, 10 gallons gasoline,
3 pints oil.
Salida to Hero, via Saguache,
159 miles. 10 gallons gasoline and 2
pints of oil.
Hero to Delta, via Black mesa,
9S miles, 10 gallons of gasoline and
2 pints of oil,
The whole distance covered was
ACT miles. Total amount of gasoline
used Al " gallons. Total amount of
oil used, 8 pints.
On the trip over these five noun
tain passes this car carried three
passengers, baggage and supplies.
The travelling expense rate was
about one cent per mile for the
three passengers, though four or
five could have been carried as we'll
as three, which would have cut down
the expense rate to nearly one-half,
or a fraction over one-half cent per
mile per passenger.

$40 and good cows sold largely at
$5.45 to $500, there being nothing
choice here in the way of cows. A
bunch of fancy heifers from Love-

season. Bulls were about steady, bu

ply and demand were light. The in

everything offered is selling readily
to good advantage.
Hog demand was good, but pack
ers are rather bearish and trade
was slow at times. Tops today sold
