Hunter Creek Steam Shovel.

The steam shovel installed on Hunter creek, near Rampant, recently, closed down without accomplishing much. It is said the sluiceboxes were too small to carry the dirt as fast as the shovel lifted it. The shovel itself worked perfectly. MT. Dubau went outside, to return and resume operations in the spring.

It was understood that Mr. Willis would recommend the remission of the fines, in whole or in part, and it is probable Bingham and the rest will get their money back.

NEWS FROM THE |D|TAROD
Cleaned from the Iditarod Pioneer of Sept. and
 Trimmed Down to Our Size.

Manley X Aitken's last cleanup on the Marietta, at the head of Flat creek, made Sept. 2, is reported in the neigh borhood of $50, ,OO0, the result of ten days run.
 Just below them, on the Wildcat, Doc Mading cleaned up $17,00O the day be- fore after a run of five days and half.
 These figures bring the total cleanup of the camp up to $25O, 1000. The Man ley x Aitken properties will disgorge pretty close to $2O0,0O0 more before the freezeup. The Mading ground on Flat, the "Guggenheims" below him, George Riley on l above Otter, and other lays where the work has just reached the producing stage will probably bring the seasons output for the Iditarod close to $6OO,OOO. Estimates late in June were figured liberal at $2OO, ,OOO for the season.
 The announcement that Frank G. Manley and Tom Aitken have met second payment on Willow creek op- tions amounting to $15,O0O holds forth the hope that another live producer be- sides Flat and Otter will be added to the family of pay creeks. The payments were made Sept. 1 and took in the ma jority interests of the. Free Cold associa- ton, the Portland bench and the flag erty bench, all on the left limit of Willow creek, starting from Happy and running more than two miles down the creek. The options mean total ex- penditure of $lOs,o0O. They were pur- chased from Barney Hagerty, John Coil, John Curran, Mike Ferry, John Dixon, Robert Pritchard and others.

George Riley came into town Aug. 3l from the second cleanup on l a. Otter and deposited over 1000 ounces of dust in the local bank. It was from a run of about ten days, and shows marked in- crease in the value of the ground, since he figures that it now goes over $2.5O to the foot. The first cleanup went over $16,0OO, but was the result of much longer run on lower grade dirt.

THE LITTLE WHITE DACHsHUNI

BY the Storyman.
The little white dachshund went
shifting along the street. very
hungry and quite cold. until he
came to an open kitchen. Such a
warm, grateful smell came watt
ing out that the white dachshund
slipped in behind the range,
where he lay and slept quietly,
occasionally peeping out through
a half-closed eye to watch the
French chef and his German as
sistant. The French chef was tall
and thin and sharp-eyed. and the
German cook was round and short
and very near-sighted. The
French chef did the planning and
directing and then went out, leav-
ing the little German to do the
work.
The little dog watched and
shifted and soon found that there
was roast duck in the oven and
a suet pudding In a big kettle on
top of the range. Every time the
little German opened the oven
such warm whiffs of roast duck
came out that the little dog could
scarce contain himself, and every
time the lid of the big kettle was
taken off there was such a lovely
steamy smell that the half-starved
little dschshund could scarce keep
from jumping on top of the stove.
Presently the cook lifted the big
kettle down very near to where
the little dog lay hiding. When
the cook turned away, the dachs-
hund crept up to the kettle and
poked the cover off with his nose.
Clang! went the cover to the
floor, and the cook came running,
while the little dog crept back be-
hind the range. Bonner und

AS soon as the cook had turned
away again, the little dog crept
out and stuck his nose into the
kettle, but the water was hot and
he ran back, with a little yelp,
knocking the bail of the kettle
down as he retreated. "Keep
sdill, you fool budding. Vat for

Again the little dog crept out
and put his forefeet on the top

FIFTY men

A report gained circulation
over the city today that about
SO men had been laid off by the
T. r. & P. since the new manage
ment of Mr.. Bean took hold
April 1.
Manager Bean, however. today
denied the statement that there
was any wholesale discharge of
men.
None of our regular men have
been discharged. We have had a
large number of extra men work
ing in the shops, and as the work
is being finished up on which they
were engaged some of them have
been dropped as they were only
put on temporarily to do the adj
ditional work, but we are not dis
charging any of the old men,"

now. Then he stretched his neck
and tried to reach the pudding,
but couldn't quite do 1t. He put
his hind feet on the rim of the
kettle and tried to reach down,
but splash! he fell into the water.
"Pe sdill, fool budding" called the
cook; "don'd go sposhin' SO much
around"
Now, the kettle was very slip
perry on the inside and the little
dog could not get out, and anyway
he was busy with the pudding.
He ate and he ate and he ate, as
only a hungry dog can, and pres
emily the pudding was all eaten
up. Then, as the little dog could
not get out, he snuggled down in
the bottom of the kettle, with Just
his nose above the water. !.
Presently the German cook
came back, picked up the kettle
and put it on the kitchen table.
Zach! vat a heafy budding" he
grunted. Then he got platter
and took the duck out of the oven
and put the duck on. the platter.
Then he got another and larger
platter and a big spoon and a big
fork. He took the lid off the
kettle and poked the spoon In.
Zach, himmel! vat heafy budz

ed in and made jab at the little
white dog, still thinking 1t was
the pudding. OF course the little
dog couldn't stand that, and. with
a wild yelp he leaped as high as
he could, upsetting the kettle and

ton was to obtain the free and I'M
trammeled expression of the will of
the voters concerning the choice of
candidates for the Office of mayor.
There is no contention that this end
was not accomplished. Voting after
five o'clock and until $3.50 did not in
terfere with the desired expression of
the voters choice. We do not mean
to say that cases may not occur of
violation of the statute in this respect
so gross, as for example, the receiving
of votes after midnight, as to require
declaring the votes so received, and
perhaps the whole election, void. But
this is not such case.
1--WE think that the allegations in
the petition concerning the receipt Of
votes cast after five o'clock are i'm
material.
The secrecy OF the ballot is an. es-
sential part of the whole scheme Of
our election laws. 1t is essential to
it's purity. 1t would be an undoubt-
ed incentive to bribery and fraud to
have it known that briber could call
on the bribed to prove by exhibiting
his ballot just before casting it that
he was performing his part of the
contract. This consideration, to be
sure, would not confer jurisdiction on
this court if none were otherwise con-
ferred by the statute, but 1t tends to
show, with other considerations, that
the provision is mandatory and that
its violation renders the ballot invalid,
and that therefore, under paragraph
five of section "a, the ballot is CON
trary to the provisions hereof
1T remains to be noted that under
sections 81 and 88 the exhibiting must
be done wllfully in order to cause a
forfeiture; that the exhibited vote
must have been seen by another, a
vote not being exhibited within the
meaning of the law which is merely
held so that another can see, who does
not in fact see; that in order to sup
port a cause of action there must
have been ffty-two or more invalid
votes; and perhaps, also, although up
on this question no opinion is express
ed, that in order to a decision con-
corning exhibited ballots the exhibit
ing must have been seen by or known
to the inspectors at or shortly after

non-concur with the opinion of the
court"
Me syIlabus is AS follows:

The syllabus is as follows:
"The right to contest an election is
purely statutory. What constitutes a
cause of contest is a question to be
determined in accordance with the
statutes of the jurisdiction in which
the question is raised.
Whether a ballot marked and cast
after five o'clock on the afternoon of
election day, and whether a ballot
wilfully exhibited by a voter to an
other, after marking and before cast
ing it, should be rejected or counted
by the inspectors are, within the
meaning of section Sc, Act lis, Laws
of 1907, questions as to the validity
of the ballot, within the power of the
inspectors to decide and of this court
to review on a contest under section
81 of that act.
THE mere acceptance and the
counting of ballots marked and cast
after five o'clock on election day con-
stitute decisions within the meaning
of sections Sc and 81 of Act lis.
THE mere acceptance and the count
ing of ballots exhibited to others by
voters after marking and before cast
ing them constitute decisions within
the meaning of the sections named,
at least if the exhibiting was seen by
or known to the inspectors at the time
of the occurrence or before such ac-
ceptance and counting, and perhaps,
also, even if the exhibiting was not
thus seen or known.
1.-The word questions used in Sec
lions 56 of the Act 118 does not refer
to issues expressly raised at the poll
ing place on election day by the can
didates or their representatives, but
to issues capable of being raised al
though not raised.
"The word hereof in subsection 5
of section "a, r. L., does not refer to
the section itself but to all of the
Rules and Regulations for Admins
tering Oaths and Holding Eelections
promulgated by the president of the
Republic in 1894 and now included in
chapters Z, and 8, r. L. 1t refers
not only to improper marks on the
face of the ballot but also to other
causes of invalidity.
"A decision, within the meaning of
sections 56 and 81, R. L., may be
made, in proper cases, before as well
as after the ballots are physically in
the box.
Ballots otherwise valid are not rem
dered Invalid by the mere fact that
they were prepared and cast between
p m. and $3.50 p. m. on election day
Ballots wilfully exhibited to others
by the voters after marking and be
fore casting are invalid Whether the
inspectors and this court have juris
diction to so determine (on a contest
with reference to ballots the exhibit
ing of which was not known to the
inspectors, is not decided on this

STARTING OF THE new
ATLANTIC-PACIFIC LINE

In it's issue of November 10 the
Philadelphia Public Ledger has the
following news of the starting of the
new line between Atlantic and Paci-
fic ports via the Isthmus of Tehuante-
pee:
Active competition with the Ameri-
can Hawaiian Line will be inaugural
ed today by the California and Allan
1tic Steamship Company when the
San Mateo sails from Port Richmond
for Colon. The pioneer vessel in the
new service is loaded with a large
general cargo consigned to Pacific
coast points. The cargo will be taken
to Cristobal and put on board cars
of the Panama Railroad Company
and carried to the western side of the
isthmus. There regular line Of
steamships will be operated to San
Francisco.
Bates & Chesebrough are the
general agents of the line, while the
business at this port is in charge of
Peter Wright & Sons. The steam
ships George w. Fenwick, Olsen and
Mahoney, Stanley Dollar and Macki-
nav comprise the fleet operated on
the Pacific side of the isthmus. These
vessels will touch at San Pedro and
Sound ports as well as San Fran
cisco. Regular sailiDgs have been
planned from both the Atlantic and
Pacific coast ports.

The Oceanic s. S. Company's stea-
mer Sierra is making good progress
across the Pacific from San Francis
co, and, barring accidents, will arrive
in port right on time. A wireless
message dated the 9TH. at 8 p. m.
states that the vessel was then S78
miles from San Francisco lightship,
with moderate southwest wind and
sea. The barometer stood at SO.17 and
the temperature at So. The message
stated that all were well on board.

"The position taken by Bates &
Chesebrough in establishing this SER
vice has been materially strengthen
ed by an agreement with the Pacific
Mail Line, which heretofore was
keen competitor for this business.
Under the new arrangement the gene
raj agents will act for the Pacific Mail
on all eastern tonnage, which will
enable the new line to compete active
ly with the American Hawaiian for
freight to and from the Pacific. The
American Hawaiian is regarded as
the most formidable company engag-
ed in the Atlantic-Pacif1c trade. It's
vessels come here regularly from
Puerto, Mexico, with sugar, but re-
quests made by the maritime men
freight service has always been de-
MED. With the Inauguration of the
new service starting today it is be-
lieved that the A.4H. Co. will be
forced to accord Philadelphia equal
facilities with New York in the hand
ling of general cargoes here.
THE vessels of the California-At-
lantic Company on this side of the
Isthmus will, on the northern run, call
at New Orleans and Charleston, as
large quantities of freight are ship
ped from San Francisco to those
ports, which will be delivered by the
steamships of the service on the re-
turn trips from the Isthmus."

son for the requirement concerning
fifty-two invalid votes is obvious. If
the total number of invalid Votes is
less than the majority of the success

None of these matters mentioned in
this paragraph are alleged in the pc
tition. The petition, however, is cap
able of amendment as to all of them
if the facts justify that course.
THE acts of McCandless and VOL
ter, in so far as they were contrary to
the law, do not of themselves invali-
date the election or any of the votes
cast. The statutes do not so provide
expressly and must therefore, within
the rules above mentioned, be regard
ed as directory. The remedy, if any, is
by fine or Imprisonment under chap
ter 8 of the Revised Laws. 1t need
scarcely be added that such conduct is
highly reprehensible and ought to be
punished if the law permits it.
I'm our opinion the demurrer should
be sustained on the ground, not that
the court is without jurisdiction, but
that the facts averred do not consti-
tute statutory cause of contest, with

grounds for sustaining the demurrer
and adds the additional ground
which would, it is said, make any eff
fort to amend the petition useless
that there was no decision" Of the
board of inspectors in legal sense,
from which an appeal to the court
could be taken. The following is
