Counting judges who are expect
ing a snap at the direct primary ell
ecfion are doomed to a big surprise
says the Montpelier Examiner, be-
cause there will be far more labor
counting the ballots at the primary
than at any election ever held in Ida
no. This is occasiOned by the second
choice provision Of the direct pri-
mary measure
With one or two exceptions there
are sufficient candidates for nomi-
nation on the Republican ticket for
the various Offices as to necessitate
"a second choice. The same applies TO
the candidates on the county ticket.
When the number of candidates
necessitates a second choice it is
necessary to keep three tabulations
for each candidate instead of one as
at an election The counting clerks
must keep the number of first choice
votes for each candidate, the number
of second choice votes and the total
of first and second choice votes.
On the Republican ticket there are
enough candidates already in the
race to necessitate second vote FOR
the Offices Of governor, secretary Of
state, congressman, superintendent
of public instruction and treasurer.
For state Offices If the vote is at all
close it will probably be several days
before the winner is known on ac-
count of the labor of counting the
votes due to the second choice pro-
vision. When the second choice
provision is in effect one can vote
for whomsoever one pleases for "A
second choice, one being permitted
TO write in the name of any person.
For this reason John Smith, John
Doe and Jane Doe probably will re-
reive a large number of votes.
The labor in counting votes when
the second choice provision is IN et-
feet was demonstrated for the first
time in the northwest at the direct
primaries in Washington two years
ago In some Of the larger precincts
of Spokane the vote was not com.
pleted for three days The same was
true of other large precincts Of th'
state

Busy Corner UNDERGROUND.

Of all the wonderful engineering
work done by the Metropolitan un-
derground railways of Paris, the
most complicated is that under the
Place de rOpera, where three great
tubes cross each other, all of which
must have station facilities in the
crossings tangle. The three tubes,
the platform, stairways and eleva-
tors constitute vcritable Chinese
puzzle. The labyrinth of approach.
cs and platforms, there being six
of the latter, make possible a quick
exchange from one line to another
or passage to and from the surface.
In order to make it easy for the
public to find the direction to take

The First Porterhouse Steak.

The first portcrhouse steak was
so named in New York city in the
famous old tavern of Martin Morri-
son at 39s Pearl street. This was a
favorite resort of scafaring men. A
steak being called for by an old pi-
lot one night, Morrison said that he
had no steaks, but would cut and
broil for him a thick slice from the
sirloin which had just been pre-
pared for roasting the next day
Morrison's place was known as the
Porter House in the neighborhood,
and its frcquenters soon got to talk
ing about the Porter House steaks.
Morrison finally told Gibbons, his
butcher in the Fly market, to cut up
sirloins for him thereafter.
