THE VERDICT

Are Greatly Surprised.

The fifth day Of the elections ended
with the parties stil running neck and
neck and with the prospect that they
will come under the wire in almost pre-
cisely the same relative position they
held at the start. Returns had been
received up to midnight from the vot-
ing for 41p members and the result IS
q Unionist gain OF two seats in that
number over those held by that party
in the last parliament.
This amazing result is as unprcce
denied in English history as IL is en-
barrassinE to politicians Of all factions.
Both parties went into the election
predicting great gains: Both are now
mons will be practically Identical with
the old.
Argument of Politicians.
Discussion now is concentrated upon
the question Of what the peoples yer
dict means. what course shall be fol-
lowed under such unexpected CirCum-
stances. The Conservatives argue that

The Coalitionists insist that the vot-
ers, by returning them 10 power. in
dorse their policies and direct them TO
carry out their program in its en-
tirety.
Forty -four seats were bailoted for
today. Returns were received from
twenty OF these. and from forty
four which were balloted for yester-
day. In these sixty-ffve the Liberals
gained RadnOrshire and Bedford. while
the Unionists gained Eskdale- The
contests were close nearly everywhere.

New Bonner Petition Filed

The local option petitions, con-
tanning. according to affidavit of j..
F. Armfeld and J. M. Prater, the
names of 1902 legal voters of the
county, were filed with the clerk
and recorder Wednesday afternoon.
The petitions apparently are in
regular form. j. F. Armfeld and
J. M. Prater make affidavit to the
number of signatures and each cir
culator of petition makes oath as
to the legality of the signatures
signed at his solicitation.
The petition will be acted upon
by the board of county commission
ers at it's meeting week after next,
at which time it is expected the
local option election day will be
fixed for some date in May.
The total number of names upon
the petitions filed in December was
1925. The petitions were thrown
out at that time on account of ir-
regularities. This time the anti
saloon organization got out printed
petition blanks, and took a great
deal of care in having the petitions
signed in legal way. As near as
they could be counted up the num-
Der of signatures was divided among
the postoffices of the county as
follows:

received similar letter from a
friend in London, speaking of buy
ing Wenatchee apples at the rate Of
half a crown for six, and being
deeply impressed with the quality
|of the fruit and the wonderful
country where such fruit can be
grown.
These are mere incidents, but
they are significant ones. The fruit
grown in This state is finding It's
way all over the civilized world; or,
rather, the enterprising fruit grow
ers of this state are making mar
kets for their product everywhere.
They are not waiting for the people
of other parts of the world 10 find
out about Washington fruit, but
they themselves are sending it out,
picked, sorted and packed in such
a manner as to present the most
attractive manner.
Eastern Washington fruit grow
ers have built up markets for their
products in the Orient and in Aus.
tralia by sending fruit there and
marketing it at their own expense.
The reputation of the fruit once
established in new market, other
orders follow rapidly, and the fear
of any surplus production beyond
market demands disappears.
1t is the constant complaint Of
American consuls resident in for.
elgn countries that the American
manufacturer does not exert him.
sell to make market demand for
his products. If the foreigner
wants them he must send here after
them. 1t has been shown many
times that the eastern fruit grower
and farmer generally has much, to
learn from his western brother
about methods of growing, ham
ding and marketing crops. The
American manufacturer could learn
something from the fruit growers
OF this state about methods of ex-
banding the market for American
goods.-Post-I ntelligencer.
