For Warden Of the State Prison.
In tho opinion Of his friends in
Ellsworth, without regard to party,
no better qualified candidate for
warden OF the State prison 1t
Thomaston can b found In Maine
than James A. McGown, Who, at the
solicitation OF his party associates,
has consented to be 4 candidate for
the ONCE.
To begin with, his party loyalty
10 unquestioned; be has been an
answering democrat all his life. He
made hne record during the Civil
war in the navy, leaving the learning
Of his trade--that Of harness maker
TO enlist, finishing it after the war;
afterwards engaging in the business
on his own account until he became
superintendent OF the Union shoe
factory in Ellsworth some twenty
years ago.
In the shoe business he amply DEM
onstrated his capacity ~ an executive
oficer, and this experience, coupled
with his success At his trade, suggests
his atness for the position of warden.
Harness. making 10 one of the leading
industries 1t Thomaston, and in this
'hranch Mr.. McGown would prove
especially at.
Inasmuch - the next warden 10 to
be . democrat, the incoming admins
tration will have to search long
within the party before finding . can
didats better qualified, whether - an
executive or - mechanic, than Mr.
Mc0own.

Ellsworth's Representative.
In the matter OF the reprcse ntative
to the legislature from Ellsworth, .
certificate Of election having been
issaed to John A. Peters by the gov
esnor and council, Harvard c. Jordan
has decided to contest the seat, and
has served upon Mr.. Peters the fol-
lowing notice:

Having been notified that . certificate Of
election has been issued 70 you BY the
governor and council Of this state. - repre-
sentative TO the Legislature from this city. l..
by this notice. notify you that 1 viii contest
your right 10 . seat ~ representative. for the
oliowing reasons. win:
FIRST The return OF the city clerk 10 the
Eovcrnor and council. is incorrect and ir-
regalas.
second. That the return Of the city clerk 10
the governor and council does not corre-
spcnd with the return Of the different elec-
tion or ward oficers to said clerk.
Third. That . great number Of votes were
counted by the election or ward of1icers In
the different wards in this city for you that
were defective.
Fourth. That . great number Of votes were
declared defective and not counted for me
BY the said election or ward ofhcers which
should have been counted.
Fifth. That correct count Of the votes will
show that have been elected ~ representa-
tive to the legislature from this city.
HAavAap G. JORDAN.
Ellsworth. Ne. Dec. IS, 1910.
We understand that the attitude Of
Mr.. Peters in this matter 10 substAn-
italy - follows: II, ~ alleged BY
Mr.. Jordan, there we're any Irregular
ties or mistakes by which Mr.. Peters
has received the benefit Of votes
counted for him, which were not un-
questionably intended for him, he
does not desire to take advantage Of
it. II, on the other hand, there ap-
pear to be any votes intended for Mr..
Jordan, which were not counted for
him, Mr.. Peters desires that they
should be 90 counted.
Mr.. Peters has no desire to repre-
sent the people Of Ellsworth against
their wishes, nor to take advantage
Of any technicalities, and II 1t turns
out that apparently more than half OF
the voters preferred to have Mr.. Jor-
dan representative, Mr.. Peters will do
everything no can to give him the
seat.
On the other hand, II = democratic
Legislature, which would naturally
not be prsjudiced in favor OF Mr..
Peters, should decide that he was en-
titled to seat, he considers IL his duty
70 accept II in accordance With the
will Of the majority, regardless OF his
personal feelings in the matter.

BONNER TO VOTE ON LIQUOR
Election Date Set For Wednes'
day, May 18th.
No Objection to The Petition

On Wednesday, May 25, the voters OF
Bonner county will vote upon the ques-
ton whether saloons shall exist IN the
county or not. The local option petl-
tions we're placed before the board on
Monday, and the consideration of them
was made special order for 10 o'clock
Yesterday morning, at which hour all
three commissioners approved the petl-
tions. Commissioners Hall and Peter
son voted to call the election for May 20.
commissioner Finstad desired to call
the election for June s. May 25 was the
day selected.
According to the affidavit filed with
the petitions the number of names upon
the petitions was given as 22O2. Com
missioner Finstad went through the
names and added them up, and an
nounced that he was satisfied that the
number was in excess of the numbey
necessary to call the election. The
vets made no protest against the ap-
proval of the petition or the calling OF
the election.
After the election was ordered &. H..
Martin offered to draw up the order of
election for the board and he was au-
thorized to do SO.
The cost of the election will be mini
mized, owing to the fact that much of
the election supplies necessary are now
on hand at the auditors Office. When
the election for Judge was called last
spring the auditors Office got in supplies
for that election. The holding of the
election was knocked out when the su
preme court held the act calling fol the
election was unconstitutional, and the
election supplies have been on hand
since that time.
There was little interest taken in the
calling of the election, as compared with
the former filing of the petitions, at
which time they were knocked out. and
the board refused to call the election
upon the grounds thatthe petitions were
irregular. They were, however, many
drys present in the room when the COM
missioners took their action, but there
was no demonstration when the an

Sawmill Dam Out

The big dam of the Panhandle Lum-
Der Co. at lone broke Tuesday afternoon
at O'Clock, entailing loss of approxi-
mstely $4,000. This will delay the
starting of the big mill for perhap two
months.
The high water in the river will make
it difficult to repair the damage. One
half million feet of logs were lost, and
the big barge was taken from its moor
ings and through the canyon.
The dam had 35-foot head and was
more than quarter of a mile wide. The
water was backed up Muddy creek for
nearly mile. Reconstruction will be-
gin Immediately.

Railroad News of the Week.

Supt. L. II. Bowen, of the Grea,
Northern. was in town today. Mr.
Bowen stated that work would soon be
started on the new 1000 depot for
Newport. The depot plans are again in
the hands of the company architects at
st. Paul, having been returned there for
enlargement on the original plans. The
structure is to be of brick and will be
located practically on the site of the old
depot.
Passenger and freight trains on this
division of the Great Northern are now
80 numerous that additional passing
tracks are required all along the line.
New stations will be esta ablished between
Priest River and LaClede and between
Wrencoe and Standpoint, and at all other
stations the present capacity of the pass
ing tracks will be doubled so as to en-
able trains to pass without saving by.
This work will be started in the near
future, and to provide ballast for these
passing tracks and for rehaballasting
part of the main line steam shovels will
be operated in the Newport gravel pit
this summer. 1t is also reported that
the main line is to be double tracked
between Colbert and Fort Wright.
The 1. & W. N. is expecting the ar
rival of two new freight engines about
May 10. AS soon as they are placed in
service the work of ballasting the extern
sion from Newport to lone will be COM
pleted. The gravel for this work will be
brought from the Spirit Lake pit. The
gravel in that pit makes superior kind
of ballast and the removal of it makes
way for a track REVISION that will cut out
one of the worst curves on the road.
Forty of the new fiat cars ordered ivy

have arrived and are being placed in
service.
