WOULD CROSS OCEAN
IN DIRIG|bLE BALLOON

New York.-Swept onward by a
sturdy westerly breeze, Walter Well
mans great dirigible balloon America,

steamship lanes up the Atlantic Coast
at midnight Sunday, out of wireless
range from shore points, but presum

In all the other messages there was
no hint of the airship's location, but

DYNAMITE FOUND
IN SAN FRANCISCO
500 Pounds Of Explosive Dis
covered in Vacant Bay
City House.

San Francisco.-The discovery OF
500 pounds Df dynamite hidden in an
untenanted house near the bay in
South San Francisco threw the de-
tectives, working on the Los Angeles
Times explosion case, into new spasms
OF excitement and cast an inky dark
ness over clews hitherto considered
of promise.
The dynamite was contained in ten
boxes of so pounds each, addressed
to ]. B. Bryson, and is supposed to
be the same lot purchased by three
men from the Giant Powder Works,
September 20.
Upon examination, the boxes were
found to hold approximately 80 sticks
each of seven-eights dynamite of 80
per cent gelatin. The order placed
by Bryson at the Giant works called
for this type of explosive.
Captain Byan, of the detective de-
partment, found that the dynamite
was of the type which was placed
near the residence Of F. J. Zeehande-
laar, secretary of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, in Los
Angeles, the day after the Times ex-
plosion.
The box that was open held dyna-
mite manufactured by the Hercules
Powder Company, which is situated in
Contra Costa County near the giant
works. This Hercules powder was
of 40 per cent gelatin and opens up
new clew for investigation.

County to Help Bridge Columbia River

At a meeting with the Stevens
county commissioners. held in Col
vile Saturday an agreement was
reached whereby the county, through
its commissioners, have pledged
either $4,000 or $4,000 toward
building wagon bridge over the
Columbia river at Northport. A
like amount is to be guaranteed by
citizens of Northport, and it is un-
derstood that already several bust
ness men have subscribed literally
toward the fund. It is believed
that $4,000 will be forthcoming in
this manner, and it is proposed to
bond the city for $4,000 in order
to meet the required amount.
The $4,000 guaranteed by North
port and the county will of course
be only part of the money required
to construct a wagon bridge across
the Columbia river, but with this
amount pledged in good faith there
is no doubt but that the state and
federal governments will come
forth with the balance necessary to
complete the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET.
Men Who Are Worthy of the Cordial
Support Of Stevens County Voters.

Following is brief presentation
of the candidates of the Republican
party OF Stevens county:
For State Senator, A. w. Ander-
son, of Addy-The present incum-
bent and candidate for reelection
is engaged in the mercantile bust
ness in the town of Addy. He has
been resident of Stevens county
for the past fifteen years, and dur
ing his present term of office, COW
ering the legislative sessions of
1907 and 1909, he was the means
of securing much needed legislation
for the county and state, and estab-
fished splendid record as an able
legislator and an unyielding foe of
graft.
For Representatives, Henry R.
Spedden and S. J. Appleman-Mr.
Spedden served this county ably as
representative IN the legislatures of
1909 and is now candi-
date for reelection. His record Is
a strong one in the legislature, and
it has earned him the unqualified
support of all parties, regardless of
political affiliations, who seek clean
government. He is engaged in the
abstract and real estate business in
Colville and was formally resi-
dent of Chewelah. Mr.. Appleman
is a merchant of Newport. of which
place he has been a resident for the
past several years. He has during
that time established reputation
for sterling honesty and integrity
and is supporter of all public
movements pertaining to better
government. His residence being
on the east side of the county an
equitable division of representation
is thus made, and his presence in
the legislature, combined with that
of Mr.. Anderson and Mr.. Spedden,
would give Stevens county a legls-
lative representation that could not
but produce results of the character
desired by all citizens wishing to
see our legislatures brought to a
higher standard of efficiency.
For County Clerk, w. Lon john
son, present incumbent-He was a
resident of Chewelah when elected
to his first term, and his efficient
and courteous administration of
the affairs of his office has given
him a standing of the highest order
throughout the county.
For Treasurer, Bliss Phillips
Mr.. Phillips has served as deputy
in the treasurer's office for the past
four years, prior to which time he
was school teacher for several
years in the Columbia river valley
section of the county. His prac-
teal experience in the office for
which he is candidate has emf
nently fitted him to conduct it in
the most efficient and economical
manner and guarantee to the tax
payers an administration of credit
to himself and the county alike.
For Sheriff, William Miller-Mr.
Miller has been a resident of the
Colville valley for the past fifteen
years and is now living on. his farm
opposite the city of Colville. He
is one of the foremost citizens OF
the community, taking leading
part in all public enterprises, and
is we'll fitted for the Office he seeks.
His high standard as a citizen will
insure him the strongest support

Nav Get Convention,

The Vermont State Teachers Asso-
citation may hold their next conveu-
ton in Rutland, according to a letter
which was received by H. H. Ross,
president of the school board of that
city, from E. M. Roscoe, of Spring
field, chairman of the executive COM
lhttee of the association. The letter
which was read at the regular meet
ing of the school board held in the
high school the other evening, fol-
lows:
MY Dear Mr.. Ross:-At the meet
ing of the Vermont State Teachers
Association held in Burlington last
October the association received in
vitations to hold its next annual
meeting in three cities, Rutland being
one of them. We appreciated the
invitation and / think there is feel
ing on the part of some that we
should accept the Rutland invitation.
THE matter was left for the ex-
ecutive committee to decide. AS chair
man of that committee, l shall call a
meeting of the committee soon and
the matter of the place of meeting
will come up for discussion.
Il am writing you to know just
what the association may expect from
the city of Rutland in the way of en-
tertainment, places of meeting etc.
You doubtless know that the other
places are very anxious to have us
come and they are willing to do most
anything for us that we may ask. All
the association feels that it should
have is place or places for it's meet
ings free of any expense to the asso-
citation. This we had in Burlington
last October and we should expect
it wherever we meet next year.
should be pleased to hear from you
in regard to this matter. | want to
know just what we may expect from
the city of Rutland along this line so
that l may report to the other MEM
bers of this committee. The matter
of producing suitable accommoda-
tons for our association has become
rather serious one.
Very truly yours,
E. NJ. ROSCOE"

Railroad Was NOt TO Blame.

The Vermont public service commits
sion has exonerated the Central Ver-
mont railroad from blame in the death
Of Ernest Hewitt, young son of Err
nest j. Hewitt, who was killed on
the companys crossing at Rutland
on December 1. The commission re-
ports as follows:
I'VE are well satisfied that the
proper signals were given by the To-
ccmotive drawing No. 759, both for
the station and for the crossing in
question. If this lad had been an ad-
ult, one would say he was guilty of
negligence in crossing the main line
without looking and listening, which
if he had done, he would not failed
to have seen the approaching train.
but the circumstances, including his
eagerness to seasonably reach his
school, are very palliating. The COM
munity is still very much exercised
over this unfortunate accident, and
we still seriously consider the advis-
ability of eliminating this dangerous
crossing in the near future.
This investigation was very
searching and thorough, owing to
the feeling in the community that we
should fix this blame upon some de-
partment of the railway service, but
the facts and circumstances are as
detailed above, from which we are
rot so well satisfied that any of the
railway employees are so manifestly
at fault that we should be justified
in finding that fact"
