WOMAN DEFEATS HUSBAND
IN A POLITICAL RACE

SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. 25.A pecu-
liar situation in connection with the
recent election is reported from Green
Creek precinct, southeast of Spokane,
which is heavily populated precint
in Idaho county, where A. J. Hoffman,
who was running for two offices, con-
stable and justice of the peace, was
defeated by his own wife who, accord
ing to the returns, received two votes
to his one for both places. Some of
Hoffman IS friends suggested to sew
eral that they write the name of Mrs.
Hoffman on the ballots aad vote for
her instead of her husband, and the
Joke took so well that he had been
relegated to the "also ram class.
Mrs. Hoffman has declined to qualify
for either place, but her friends, who
assert she has the courage and ability
to fill either place with credit, are en-
deavoring to induce her to accept, and
no matter which position she elects to
ell, she win be the only woman occu-
pying such a position in the North
west.

WOMEN or WASHINGTON
WILL SOON CAST VOTE

SPOKANE. Nov. 26.--f' Women vot-
ers should remember that they are
like the boys casting their first vote
and are not capable of holding office
at the prPesent time, and | would not
think of supporting a woman for com
sioner in ease the commission for of

Arkwright Hutton, of Spokane, presi.
dent of the Washington Political
Equality league in speaking of ques-
tors that have arisen since the right
to-vote franchise has been given to
women of this state, adding: "Women
must not abuse their privileges. Any
right minded woman realizes that she
is in the class with a boy of 2l who
is casting his first vote, and the first
thing to do is TO study conditions ane
gain information, which will take
much time. +" When asked if She
would favor "A woman commissioner I'M

THE WESTERN PACIFIC IS

The Western Pacific is still after
C.. X. Webster, the saloon man of Ger
lach. 1t is evident the w. P. has no
intention of letting up and it is equal
ly as plain that Webster has no notion
of giving up.
The railroad company has instituted
another suit against Webster, this time
the saloon man being cited to appear
in the United States court in Carson
City on the tn of December and show
cause why the temporary injunction
secured against him by the Western
Pacific should not remain in force.
The papers were served on Webster
last Monday in saloon and it is said
that Webster refused to accept service
and the marshal serving the papers
threw them on the floor at Webster s
feet, where they remained until the
porter swept out the next morning.
The public is familiar with the
troubles between Webster and the rail
road company, tho various cases hav-
ing been given considerable urori.

CHICKENS START
GOLD EXCITEMENT
Especial to the Silver state.)

SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. 26.-Nug-
gets were unearthed and gold was
found in the fowls that scratched in
the dirt, Nov. 10, at the Gus McFeron
ranch near Hayford, 10 miles west of
Spokane on the Medical Lake and
Cheney electric line of the Washington
Water Power company, where excava-
tions were being made for building.
Mr.. McFaron stated the facts to r.
Lewis Rutter, secretary of the Spo-
kane & Eastern Trust company, who
said in giving the information, that
there was no question as to the au-
thenticity of the reports and that the
finds would justify an immediate in
vestigation. McFeron expects to per-
sonally take charge of the work of
mining his ranch, the work to begin at
once.
The evidence is such as to lead to
the conclusion that other nuggets are
to be found in that vicinity. An exea-
walton was being made for build
ing on the farm when the first discov-
cry was made and the MATTER created
much excitement amuong the work
men. When a chicken was killed in
was examined, as it had been noticed
that the chickens had been around
where the fresh earth was being
thrown. and other small pieces Of gold
were found.
The opinion has already been volun-
teered that the nuggets have come
from tbn hills in the direction of Che
ney, Wash.
For the reason that separate mug
gets were located in the diggings at
the McFeron ranch, it is thought that
the find will prove to be an important
one.
McFeron has been a resident of
Spokane county for 20 years and is a
wealthy and prominent rancher.

DOG JUMPS 200 FEET
INTO CoLUMBIA RIVER

SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. 25.--Jump-
ing 200 feet off the Columbia river
bridge at Wenatchee, Wash, southwest
of Spokane, into the Columbia river,
and returning to its master apparently
unharmed, was the experience of a
shepherd dog. owned by the manager
of garage. The dogs master had
received s. call that an automobile was
out of gasoline on the Douglass county
side of the river and he set out to ear
nv a supply, the dog following behind.
When the helpless machine had been
filed the two automobiles started for
the city over the bridge. In the center
of the bridge one machine endeavord
to circle around the other and get
ahead. The dog, seeing that it was
about to be caught in a trap, jumped
from the bridge. 1t being dark, the
master considered that to be the end
of the dog. About two hours after
ward a scratch was heard at the door
and upon its being opened the dog
entered, wagging its tail, and showed
its nose into its masters hand. Aside
from a drenching the dog showed no
signs of injury after battling with the
swift current in the Columbia river.

Some there are whose life is a
tragedy from childhood to the grave.
Such one was lone Dalton, a young

passed on Thursday morning from a
bullet wound inflicted the previous
Tuesday morning. The shooting was
done with small calibre pistol and
the bullet entered at one of the tenn

that shortly before the shooting occur
red he had had some words with lone
Dalton and saw her get pistol and

FOREST REVENUE
FOR STATES

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-For the
fiscal year ended June 30 last, the U.
). department of agriculture announe.
es the 25 per cent of national forest
revenue which will go to the state for
road and school purposes, amounted
to $506, 6,194.S4. This was $67, ,402. .O3
more than last year, or an increase Of
little over Is per cent. The pay
ments are an offset to the loss of in
come from taxable property sustained
through withdrawal Of the forest
land from entry under the public land
laws.
The amounts which will 60 to the
various states are as follows: Ari.
zona, $51 ,229.3S; Arkansas, $2,904.44;
California, $50, 1921; Colorado, $780,
306.l9; Florida, $7063S; Idaho, &c.,
I014.55; Kansas, $1,O0467; Minnesota.
$457.37; Montana, $50, 3,67S.3S; Nebras-
ka, $2,S20.25; Nevada, $16,314.33;
New Mexico, $2S,529.53; North Da-
kota, $63.64; Oklahoma, $626.1O; Ore.
gon, $39,635.S7; South Dakota, $9,-
Sos93; Utah, $32 9o5 40; Washington.
$23,671.s9; Wyoming, $34,704.54.
NotoWoItny IL Jne especially no8Vy
increase over the amounts last year in
certain states. In California the
amount rose by over 25 per cent, in
Idaho by over 35 per cent and in
Oregon by nearly SO per cent. The
increases are the result of increased
activity in national forest timber sales
in these states and are an earnest Of
what will happen as the timber supply
which the government is caring for
comes into full demand. Since the cut
of timber will always be limited to
what the forests will keep On growing
the income to the states will be per.
manent, not transitory, as would have
been the case if hasty and imnnovi-
dent exploitation had bee permitted.
According to the calculations of the
department of agriculture officials the
states will eventually receive many
times what te forests are now yielding
them, for there is as yet on the whole
only very restricted demand for the
government g timber.
