cANvASSING BOARD
COMPLETES RETURNS.

Olympia, Oct. S.-The state canvass
ing board has completed transcribing
primary election returns as shown by
the county canvassing boards, covering
preference for United States senator
and congressman. Wide variance was
found between totals for first and Sec
ond choice, showing that the election
officers had ignored the law that pro-
vided that ballots should be thrown out
unless the voter Indicated both first
and second choice. Because of this the
state board will have to recheck all the
returns by precincts to force correct
balances, and it may be several days
before the official returns are given out.
Yakima and Jefferson counties failed
to send in returns on joint senator, SO
the canvass is being delayed awaiting
such figures, which have been tele-
graphed for.
Poindexter 67,714, Burke 26,e40.
These county totals show that Poin-
dexter received an aggregate of 67,714
votes for senator, as against 26,84O for
Burke and 1850 for Ashton. Cotterill
won the democratic nomination, with
an aggregate of 1852 as against 1888
for Byrne. Humphrey, republican, is
renominated in the First district, with
1885 first choice votes out of total
of 40,477, or 1,645 more than the neces-
sary 40 per cent. The second choice
vote for the district was AIT less than
the first choice, and on combined first
and second choice Humphrey had 49,
1913, Revelle 23,273, and Black, the lone
democratic nominee, had LABS. In the
Second district there was no choice.
Warburton, insurgent, won with 12.744,
McCredie had Hips and Claypool
6,122. Langhore, democrat, had 1920.
In Inc Third district there were 27.OO1
first choice votes and but 1866 second
choice. La Toilette won, with II.
first choice. and required but 10,S01 to
get the necessary 40 per cent. Merritt,
the democratic nominee, received 2.71l
votes.

CHARGES OF WASTE
AGAINST BoWLBY.

Olympia, Wash, Oct. S.-The next
ten days will determine whether State
Highway Commissioner Bowlby will be
permitted to retain his Office or not.
Ever since Bowlby took Office, criti-
cism has been growing, the charges be-
ing solely of extravaganza and incom-
petence.
The department handles about ST.
100000 of taxpayers money each year
and complaints are general that the
bulk of the money is being wasted. For
instance Bellingham papers report that
$685. 900 has been spent on state road
in that county of which less than one
half mile has been completed.
Today H. P. Gillette, the New York
expert engineer, and e. e. Baird of
Vancouver, arrived here at the request
of the governor and started upon a de-
tailed investigation of the highway de-
partment. Mr.. Gillette has made life
study and is considered authority on
questions of proper cost Of engineering
and construction work. On his expert
knowledge. Governor Hay relies to dis
cover whether or not the charges
against Bowlby are true.
Mr.. Bowlby was recommended for
the position by Samuel Hill and short
" after he took Office he changed the
route Of state road established by his
predecessor in Klfckitat County, SO
that it would run through Mr.. Hills
large realty holdings at Maryhill. that
county.

report of the executive committee nam
ing Colorado Springs as the place for
the next convention, the Dry Farming
congress adjourned without day.
One of the closing features of the
congress was the Introduction of res
slution indorsing San Francisco's claim
for the Panama canal exposition in
1915. Objection was Immediately raised
and stormy discussion ensued, termi-
mating in the refusal of the cow ention
to entertain the resolution on the
ground that it was matter outside of
the scope and jurisdiction of the Dry
Farming congress. The vote was prac-
tically unanimous. At the end there
was very little fight made on the place
for the next congress. Lethbridge, AL
berta, merely maintained its plea in
order to strengthen itself for a more
vigorous effort to obtain the congress
in 1912.
Andrew L. Mordt of Guyman, Okla,
deprecated the mixing of politics and
agriculture, and spoke bitterly of the
results in his state.
'"This country is the best dry farming
district in the world" said Prof. w. H.
Jardine of Kansas, in speaking on the
subject, Selecting Dry Farm Land" "
He added:

with too small information and under
false impressions. There are other fac
tors besides soil and rainfall to be con-
sidered."
Prof. H. L. Bolley Of the North Da-

Hers Was the Final TriumT

Hers Was the Final Triumph.
A lady, writing to the JOURNAL, tells
of the death of an old maiden relative in
words so pathetic that they constitute
almost a new style of obituary diction.
The JOURNAL takes the liberty of print
ing them:
Poor soul. She had just lived on and on
until every part of her human constitution
seemingly died still leaving only breath in
her frame. She begged to be taken home;
thought she was away. AT times she would
hurry us to return, fearing the work is not
going right at home" Then, at last, as If
looking lmpatiently for friends, her final
words we're they are a long time coming"
have never before been so impressed with
the hour the article" and the majesty of
Death. A few hours after all was over her
face took on the expression of the peace
which passeth all understanding" and she
looked as if at last she had outsped us all In
the race for the crown. Through no fault of
her own she had always been handicapped,
and ever carried the expression of one who
had been over-run and left behind in the
rush of these strenuous times.

CONVICTION, Va, August II, 1910.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
If my memory be correct, | promised
about year ago, after visit to dear
old FrOstburg, to write to you.
| have often recalled that promise,
but until now have, for no special
reasons, failed to comply.
But this morning | received from you
a marked newspaper containing an ar
ticle of interest, and | made up my
mind at once to redeem that promise.
| have been thinking of visiting Frost
burg again this summer, but find now [
will not be able to do so. 1t Will not be
long, though. before | do, for the "dear
old burg fills warm place in my
heart.
After being away about eight years l
found, on going back last year, almost
a new town. noticed the changes and
improvements in my first view passing
through the walnut Level bottoms.
Indeed, l hardly recognized the old
town, and in passing up to the St. Cloud
Hotel, where l got off the car, it was a
series of changes all the way.
About fifteen years ago some people
supposed Frostburg to be dead, but l
tilih thG oii W" u IL JUST III It's lulduCy
with very bright future ahead.
On my way uptown from the ST..
Cloud [ felt about lost in viewing the
buildings. | could recognize only a few
nearly all seeming so much changed
for the better. One of the greatest i'm
provements is the paved streets and the
electric road, still minus the Belt Line"
however.
Sunday afternoon the amusement
king-J. H. Hitchins, took me in charge
for walk up Frost avenue, and, honest.
ly, | couldn't recognize the street
could mention several other streets that
have been similarly improved by build
ing of nice new homes, tree planting and
other endowments of hometown en-
Enlistment.

speaks of the old town. and | know he
would love to go back once more, but is

EuuaIto the Occasion.

At trial of a man in Eckhart Mon
day evening before justice E. j. Decker
an incident occurred which was brought
in post haste to the JOURNAL next
morning.
The charge was misunderstanding, and
one of the witnesses in behalf of the
State was Swede. When he took the
stand Capt. J. p. Roman, of Cumber-
land, counsel for defense, among other
questions, asked
Are you married man."
"Yaas. Aye bane married"
ITO whom are you married."
BAY yeminy, Aye bane married to a
woman -
At this great laugh arose, and judge
Decker, incensed, reproved the witness
for levity which could not be further
tolerated, and on his own account asked
''Do you know of anyone who has
married anybody but woman?'
"Yaas."
well, who is it?'
May sister, bay yeminy! "

AS 1t Now Seems.

1t appears that the repeal of the mort
gage tax was not designed by large
number of members of the last General
Assembly.
This provision was "snook" in the re-
assessment bill and passed without the
apparent knowledge of anybody, and
many, it is said, regret their votes for the
bill on this account.
Which shows that the people ought to
send sighted men to represent
them.
Meanwhile, there is further talk, in
effect that the money in savings banks
is subject to taxation under the same
law.
Which, if true, doubles the wrong.
The money of the rich, invested Ill
mortgages, goes untaxed, while the
money of the poor. on deposit, must
nav.

INCENDIARISM.
Some Miscroant Set Fire to the John
son House Monday Night, but
Timely Discovery Saved 1t.

Mr.. w. f. Schwaner, proprietor Of
the johnson House formerly the
Wilson rcsidencel on Columbia
street, discovered the rear part Of
the house on fire last Monday night
about half past twelve. The alarm
was turned in, and the Fire Depart
ment was on hand in time to cNtin-
guish the flames before much dam
age had been done.
The fire started mt the floor of the
rear part of the kitchen, and the
flames ran up between the ceiling
and weather boarding, burning
through the latter and filling the
house with smoke, which gave timely
warning and caused the discovery
Of the fire. All the occupants Of the
house had retired, and If the fire had
not been dicOyered before the flames
had spread to the main part Of the
building, there would probably have
been some narrow escapes and per
haps more serious results.
The house was certainly set on
fire from the outside, at pillar un-
derneath the floor where the rear
porch adjoins the corner of the
kitchen. There were matches and
other evidence lying on the ground
where the fire started. 1t will he
remembered that short time ago
the wOodshed in rear of the house
caught or was set on fire at night,
which was also discovered before
much damage was done. We don't
know that there is any clue as to
who the fire-bug may be, but it is
not pleasant to realize that we have
such person in our midst, and
every effort ought To be made to ap
prehcnd him or them il possible, ol
there IL no telling who will be thu
next victim. The night marsha
| should keep II sharp lookout.
