with the thousands of voters keeping
to themselves their intentions, and
an u"ndercurrent in favor Of Roose-
welt, it is not at all improbable that
the number of electoral votes receiV-
ed by each candidate may be short or
a majCrit and that the election may
60 to the house of representatives.
1T is almost an even split in North
Dakota, for while Taft stood third in
the primaries he has gained strength,
but the friends Of Roosevelt and Will
son are both claiming the state. Nor
ton county cast its vote in the prim-
aries for Roosevelt and there is little
reason to believe that there will be
any material change on next Tuesday.
For the governorshlp, Republicans
present in Hon. l.. B. Hanna a candl-
date who will be elected by a large
vote. He is a gentleman who as
governor will do the state credit and
his experience in legislative matters
both state and national, his career as
a successful business mai and his
loyalty to the state make him an
ideal candidate, and despite the most
exhaustive search, which his pOlltl-
cal enemies have made not n thing
in his record has been found which
would not bear the light of day.
1t is just as safe to assert that the
entire Republican state ticket will be
elected by a substantial majority.
The enemies Of w. c. Gilbreath have
put up a so.called progressive candi-
date against him, but Mr.. Gilbreath
will certainly be elected. The Demo-
cratic state ticket as a whole is not
strong, though John f. Sullivan, the
candidate for attorney general, will
give Andy Miller a lively race.
The congressional fight in this dis
trict is the most iteresting Of any in
the state. The Democrats are put
ting forth strong efforts to elect their

DAIRY INDUSTRY
WILL RAISE PRICES

Medina Citizen: Recently George
B. Zinck and John HeuDel made a
trip to the st. Paul rnarkets with a
shipment Of cattle. While away they
visited Albert Lea, Mimi, where the
state of Minnesota maintains a cream
cry plant, and where they investi-
gated the dairy conditions of that
section. In an interview with the
writer they stated that what they
found was a complete surprise to
them. There they found the farmers
engaged in dairying on land that was
valued at around $3.50 per acre and
making it pay big returns. Silos
were in evidence everywhere and the
barns and residences on the farms
were all substantial buildings and
showed much prosperity. OF two
different parties whom they had in
terviewed there, n had a herd of
20 Holsteins that brought him $3.50
last year and another farmer with
Is Jerseys received $1,700 for butter
fat during the time. Mr.. Heu-
pei states that while the land there
is priced at around $3.50 an acre it is
not really as good soil al we have
right here in this section of the
county and he thinks that when the
farmers here go in more for dairying
that the prices here are bound to go
up. Both gentlemen have opportuni-
ties right here which, when rightly
improved, will bring greatly increas-
ed prosperity, but that the change
and improvement will have to be a.
long dairying and better farming met

practically conceded that P. D. Nor
ton will carry the district by a safe
majority.
In this county the Democratic can.
didates for the legislature with the
exception Of j. T.. Campbell of this
city are not putting up a very strong
fight, and the entire Republican coun-
ty ticket from auditor down will be
elected.
County division is one of the main
issues in this election, and as the
time for election draws neal the in
terest over this question is growing
intense.
Three constitutional amendments
are to be voted on, n to extend the
term Of justices of the supreme court
to ten years, II to provide a state
evelator at Duluth and Superior and
the third changes the methods OF the
sale of state lands.
A justice of the supreme court is
to be elected to fill the unexpired
term of the late Justice Morgan.
Justice A. A. Bruce, who was ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy by Cover
nor Burke, has served with entire
satisfaction, and has the endorse.
ment Of several bar associations and
should be elected.
The Republican county committee
has made arrangements for a special
wire to receive election returns on
the night of election at headquarters
next to Kennelly's store. They will
also receive returns from the county.

DARLINGTON MURDER
MYSTERY UNS0lVED
NO CLUE TO MURDERER OF FIN.
LANDER WORKMAN NEAR
NORTHERN PACIFIC
TRACKS,

DARLINGTON, Nov. 4.-No clue
has yet been found OF the murderer
of a Finlander from Duluth, by the
name of Paul Haapanem, who was
brutally murdered last Sunday at
rternoon about three miles north OF
Darlington, near the N. P. tracks.
The murder was done with a dull
knife. The windpipe was severed by
one cash, the jugular vein BY another.
The scalp was perforated by being hit
with alb lunt instrument. Other min.
or knife cuts were on the face and
hands.
The victim could not speak Eng
lish and was hard of hearing.
Identity Of the murdered man was
established by articles in his posses
sion. A copy of the "Tyomies," q
socialist paper printed in Finnish,
was found on the body, also a postal
saving bank receipt giving the name
and the address of the deceased as
at ~ Seventh avenue west, Duluth,
MINI. Several letters were found
addressed to the murdered man here
and at Vally City.
When the body was discovered the
man had been dead several hours,
and the blood had all run from the
body through gashes in the neck.

Herman Wintermeyer, driving a tank
wagon, first saw the victim lying in
a gully near the tracks. Wintermeyer
states he saw the Fnlander and his
partner several times, that both were
drunk, part of the time apparently
paralyzed with booze. He saw them
first Saturday. They were in a Stub,
BILE field down on their knees, evi-

Herman drove near them, but found
nothing particularly wrong. The next
morning at daylight he again saw
Haapanem near the tracks. He was
dirty and cod and could barely crawl.
Herman went up to him and asked
some questions, but could only get

The County Court is making prep
arations to macadamize ten miles Of
county road this year, having placed
an order for another rock crusher and
other road building machinery. Pen
dleton, Adams, Athena and Weston

notoriously bad road leading along
Wild Horse creek from Pehdleton, TO-
ward Adams, be given Ibis permanent
improveme which the county court
has mapped out for this season. And

Travelled highway Of the county. 1t
carries the overland traffic between
the four important towns of the coun-
ty. accommodating vehicle travel
between Pendleton and Walla Walla.
Being used more than any other road
in the county and having several miles
of macadam already constructed, it
is but logical that the county should
complete the work which it has COM
menced, before entering on permanent
road construction in another part Of
