OVER THE DIVIDE.

The news of the sudden death of
Senator John L. Wilson reached here
last Thursday evening, and it was a
painful shock to those who enjoyed
his acquaintance. We have known Mr..
Wilson from the date of his first ar
rival in Spokane, and looked upon him
as loyal, loved and respected friend.
OF late years we have only met him at
long intervals, but the frindship
formed in the early days of Spokane
was never broken. Our last meeting
was just a year ago this month, in
Seattle, and we never passed a few
hours more pleasantly than we did
in his company at that time. Physi-
cally he seemed frail, and the mark of
advancing age was showing upon him,
but mentally he was as strong and Wig
orous as in his younger days He was
then full of plans for the future, and
keenly alive to the political and indus
trial affairs of the state We left him
at that time in buoyant spirits, little
dreaming that we would be called up
on to mourn his demise within one
wear

TAKE UP MISSIONARY WORK.

Rev. and Mrs. H. 0. Nash spent a
few days in Oroville during the past
week, Mr.. Nash holding services in
Trinity Episcopal church Sunday. This
is probably Mr.. Nash's farewell visit
to Oroville, as he has resigned his
charge in this county. 1t is his pur-
pose to enter the missionary field, not
as representative of any denomination,
but for the purpose of travelling from
place to place, doing the work of his
Master in an earnest endeavOr to point
the way to better and higher life
both by precept and example. Mr..
Nash has had much experience in mis-
sionary work in the under world of
great cities, and his heart is enlisted
in the cause of humanity and the res
cue of the fallen. He is one of the
most spiritual christian ministers who
has ever preached the gospel in this
county. An earnest and fluent talker,
a close student and deep thinker he is
pleasing and convincing in the pulpit,
and a loveable gentleman personally.
He believes in and breaches true
christianity, not the twentieth century
article, and is as sincere as he is ear
nest in his work. He believes in the
good, because good is the best both
for the soul and body, and has little
patience with sham and half way
christianity He has no plan or itin-
cry mapped out. He will simply carry
the gospel of Christ from place to
place, timing his stay at any one place
in accordance with the work that Is to
be done. Both he and his estimable
wife have endeared themselves to his
paritioners in this county, and he goes
forth to the work of his choice with
the best wishes and Godspeeds of those
friends he has made during his short
pastorate in this county.

LOOK out Tor every chance, with most
ha.leiihg prospects of ultimate sue
cess IN placing the bonds. Never be-
iore mas there ever been selected in
.iis place two bodies of citizens that
nave worked so cordially and unitedly
lor single purpose as has been the
case with the directors of the two dis
trlcts Every move has been made in
harmony, and at no time since the pro-
Ject was first suggested, and directors
chosen, has there been a sign of fric-
ton Those selected to take charge
OF the work of starting the enterprise
on the way to a happy termination
have cheerfully given of their time
and energies for the one great object.
Individually and collectively the di-
rectors are as keenly interested in the
success of the undertaking, that means
so much to the valley, as any resident
of this locality. and no one will be
better pleased to see the work under
way than these same gentlemen They
are now in close communication and
consultation with persons who have
the means, or at least are in a position
to command the means, to take up the
bonds and carry out the work accord
ing to the plans and specifications
This paper is not at liberty to go in
to particulars at this time, nor use the
names of those who are at present
figuring upon the investment, and
there is no desire to stimulate hope
which might be followed by disap-
pointment. 1t is better to let the di-
rectors perfect their contract before
saying anything about what lines they
are working along. No confidence is
abused, however, in the statement that
proposals are under consideration, or
soon will be. AT no time has there
been any doubt as to the bonds being
eventually disposed of, only the tran
saction embraces so large sum that
it cannot be closed as quickly as
trade for load of wood, or the trans
fer of town lot. 1t Is confidently ex-
pected that something definite will
take form before long that may be
given to the public.

SCHOOL LAND ELECTION.

School election Saturday, at which
the people were called upon to de-
eide for or against the purchase of
certain lands for school purposes, re-
suited in the defeat of the measure by
a vote of SS to 1922. From the number
of votes cast, and considering the dis
agreeable weather that prevailed Sat
urday afternoon discouraging travel
ing so far to exercise the right of fran
chise, it is evident that the people took
a great deal of interest in the election.
There was no surprise manifested in
the result, as it was a foregone con-
clusion, the only wonder is that so
many votes were cast in favor con-
sidering the enormous amount of work
that was done to defeat the PROPOSE
tion. In no wise discouraged the
school trustees will put up another
proposition to the voters in a couple
of weeks.

A FLATTERING
VOTE FOR WILSON
in GEORGIA

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. THE follow
ing is the first official and complete
vote cast by counties in Georgia in
the presidential election of Tuesday.
The popular vote is 12O,769, cast as
follows:
Wilson 92,804; Roosevelt PLAT;
Taft 5,505; Debs 637; Chain 40.
Wilson's grand total over the COM
bined field is 65,425 His total over
Roosevelt and Taft is 36,162. HiA
total over Roosevelt is 1857.
Out of the lac counties, Wilson
swept 141. Roosevelt carried five,
Cherokee, Douglas, HARRISON, Pauld-
ing and Pickens.
Taft carried 81 in 1908.
The Georgia totals for 1912 show
interesting comparison with those of
1908. The 1908 totals were Bryan
1871, Taft 41,814, Watson HIP,
Chain 1909. Wilson's majority over
Roosevelt in Tuesdays election was
almost equal to Bryan's entire vote in
1908.

WILSON and HOOPER
WIN IN TENNESSEE

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. Returns
from over Tennessee today make no
change in the earlier indications. Gov
ernor Hooper (Rep) is assured of re-
election by 5000 over Mcmillan,
Dem.) Figures on fifty counties in
the presidential race give the follow
ing:
Wilson $3.50; Taft 27,749; Roose-
welt 81 1856 Over twenty of the re-
naming forty-six counties are repub-
lican. Wilson will carry the state by
over $4,000 easily, it is believed. hTe
state senate is claimed by republicans
and independents. The regular demo-
Gratis apparently control the house.
The situation indicates no change in
the prohibition laws. The anti-Pat-
terson men control on joint ballot,
having at least IS and probably 70
votes on election of United States
senator against the nominee.

Figures Changed By More
Complete Returns

Chicago, Nov. Wilson probably
carries Illinois by 5000 plurality.
Wilson, according to returns re-
ceived up to O'Clock, has overcome
Roosevelt's lead in Illinois, and with
663 precincts to hear from, has a
plurality of 1908. Returns from
Cook county gave Roosevelt a plu-
rality of 38,257. Returns from g.
1875 precincts outside of Cook county
give Wilson a plurality of 1888, or
a net plurality of 1908
This gives Wilson 80 additional
votes in the electoral college Mime
sofa, at first reported for Wilson, has
gone for Roosevelt, and it will take
the official count to decide California
between Wilson and Roosevelt Indi-
cations are that Iowa and Wyoming
are safe for Wilson. With these states
allowing Minnesota to Roosevelt, Will
son will have 439 votes in the electoral
college, Taft will have IL and Roose-
welt 70.

Only Small Area is Free of

London, Nov. Only five little
districts now remain in the possession
of Turkey out of the vast territory
IN Europe, which she has ruled for
centuries. Even these five districts
comprising Constantinople, Adriano-
pie, Saloniki, Monastir and Scutari

1t is reported that Saloniki has
been evacuated and that the Turkish
army stationed in that city has been
withdrawn, but no confirmation OF
this has been received Which direc-
ton the retreating army has taken
was not mentioned in the report, but
if it is true that the Turks have aman-
doned the stronghold, they sooner or
later must come into contact with one
of the armies investing the fortress,
whichever way they take.
Monastir, also, where Fethir Pasha
has a large Turkish army under him,
is said to have been occupied by the
allied Balkan troops
Between the Bulgarian army and
Constantinople, now stand only the
Tchatalja forts which ar eheld by an
army that has suffered a series Of
crushing defeats. and that has been
rendered, it is believed in military
circles, incapable of making any sus-
tanned defense against vigorous as

Some villages in the vicinity of this
last line of defense are reported al

invaders are said to have fixed Sun

will enter the Turkish capital with
their troops and hold a service of
thanksgiving in the mosque of st.
Sophia.

PIE TABLE NOW BEING
SPREAD FOR DEMOCRATS

Washington, d. c., Nov Thirty
thousand persons, men and women,
have their names on the government
pay roll in Washington. Twenty
thousand of these, it is estimated.
thronged newspaper Offices watched
election returns from points of want
age, or got close to private wires hsre
Tuesday night as returns from the for
ty-eight sovereign states came in,
many shaking in their boots at the
thought that in the election of Wilson
their long tenure of office must end.
These twenty thousand persons mind
ed not the chill November night nor
the jostle and noise of the crowds they
met. Men who do not come on the
streets once in a dozen years at night,
and women of refinement who ordIna-
rily would not be seen in such crowd,
rubbed elbows with the street urchin
and the newsboy, the vendor of cam
paign buttons and chewing gum, the
auto chauffeur and the driver or .'e
owl" that moves here and there In
the silent watches of the night These
persons were not gay with the moving
crowd. The incoming returns meant
more to them than those around could
fathom Would the election of Wilson
and Marshall, with a consequent up
turning OF the government serya :,
mean the loss of their jobs, some Of
which have been held for forty and
fifty years? With straining eyes they
scanned returns from Maine and Mas
sachuseHs, from South Carolina and
South Dakota, from Vermont and Vir,
ginia, in fact from the four points Of
this big country of more than ninety
million souls. The result meant every
thing to them.
Although these 10000 persons whose
names are on the government pay rolls
are, mainly, protected by the civil
service, it is no absolute guarantee.
