PRIMARY ELECTION RESULTS
In LANDSLIDE FOR HIM
and ". WILSON.
Taft Forces Are Bewildered Over Their
Defeat-Wilson Gets Solid Demo
cratic Delegation to National Conven-
tion-Jo ohm Dalzell Renominated for
Congress by Small Margin

Philadelphia.-The primary election
in Pennsylvania resulted in landslide
for Roosevelt. AS the returns continue
to come in the victory for the Roose-
welt adherents becomes more complete.
Of the GA delegates elected in the 80
districts fully so are pledged to vote
for Roosevelt. Added to this is the
probability that the republican state
convention, which will choose ~ dele
gates at large to the national conven-
tion, will be controlled by the auti-Taft
element, insuring at least 81 delegates
for Roosevelt from this state.
Stunned by Defeat.
The republican organization leaders
are stunned by the overwhelming de-
feat of the Taft candidates and have
nothing to say regarding the result.
Wilson Victory.
With the exception of one or two
districts in the state, Woodrow Wilson
will have a solid delegation from Penn
sylvania to the democratic national
convention.
In this city Taft got seven of the ~
national delegates. Reuben o. Moon,
who has been leader on the republi-
can side of congress for several ses-
sions, was defeated decisively for re-
nomination. His successful opponent is
George w. Edmonds, republican Key
stone candidate.
Representative Michael Donohoe
democrat, accomplished the remarkable
feat of winning the republican as well
as the democratic and Keystone nomi
nations in the Fifth Philadelphia dis
trict. This district is largely peopled
by workingmen.
Pittsburg for Roosevelt.
Returns received indicate that the
Roosevelt delegates in Allegheny coun
ty, including Pittsburg, to the Chicago
convention, had been elected.
John Dalzell appears to have beer
renominated for congress in the Thir
tieth district by a small margin, bu
the nomination of DR.. A. j. Barchfelt
in the Thirty -second is in doubt.

Greenwood smelter.
Kellogg, Idaho.-The O. K Mine in
Government gulch is to be started up
again as soon as possible, according to
H. Metcalf of Portland, Ore.
Two feet of high grade have been
found in the bottom of the shaft of the
Jennie Bell mine, in the free milling
gold belt at Ymir, B. c., the valuess run
ming from 500 to 500 per ton in gold
and silver, with small percentage of
lead.
The mines in the Boundary (B. c.

tons of ore during the week, the prop
critics shipping being the CRANKY, a.

waukee & st. Paul railway extending
branch line into the Hoodoo mining dis

arations to operate their mines actively

A prophecy that the ores held by the
United States Steel corporation would
be exhausted within 25 or 80 years and
, that the natural resources of the far
west would be utilized was made before
the house steel trust committe by Jo-
, seph Sellwood, ore expert, who says he
has secured the North American CONT
nent in search of merchantable ore. Mr..
7 Sellwood said that in Utah there was
r known to be 1000 900, 900 tons of mer-
. charitable ore. This ore can be used to
make steel just as well as any other
, ore, but it is not near coke, coal nor
. fuxing material, he said.
S With the renewal of mining activity
in the northwest the mining department
of Washington State college is receiv-

s and assaying ore samples, and in reply
: to these inquiries circular letters are
|, being sent out to the different com

, examine and test, when necessary, any
samples of ores or minerals sent to it
and that assays will be made on request
: at a cost little in excess of the Gus

BABIES UNDER THE SPOUT.
In Sirha They Water the Youngsters
to Keep Them Quiet.

The native mothers in the neighbor-
hood of Simla, in India, have a curious
practice of putting their babies heads
under spout of water in order to
send the youngsters to sleep and to
Keep them quiet. When a new cart
locality mentioned there was a halting
place, where rows of such children
might be seen In grove close to the
road.
The water of hill spring was so
adjusted as to furnish a series of lit
tie sDOuts. each about the thickness
of ones little finger Opposite each
spout was a kind of earth pillow and
a little trough to carry away the wa
ter. Each child was so laid that one
of the water spouts played on the top
of its head. and the water then ran off
into the trough.
An English official teStifieS that the
process was most successful. There
never were such quiet and untrouble
some babies as those under the spouts.
The people We're unanimous in assert
ing that the water did the children no
harm, but that. on the contrary, it
benefited and invigorated them In
fact, they seemed to think that a child
not subjected to this process must
grow up soft Drained and of little ac-
count.-Harper's Weekly.

Figures published by the federal bu-
reau OF education give evidence that
the rewards of genius engaged in the
educational field are considerably be-
low those attainable in other Of the
learned professions and in many indus
trial avocations. The highest paid
head Of state-aided institution Of
learning is the president of the Univer-
sity of California, who receives s12,-
600 year and house. The president
of Cornell university and the Uni
Versity of Illinois, each receive s10,-
900 year and house, and the presi-
dent Of the University of Minnesota,
$4,000 year without house Other
presidents salaries run down as low
as 50, 400. The best paid full professor
enjoys an income Of $4,000 a year,
and the least paid tutor struggles along
on an allowance of $50. When it is
considered that there are lawyers in
the country earning from $4,000 to
100000 a year, that some medical
men command almost as large earn
ings, and that many engineers, presi-
dents of manufacturing concerns and
others engaged in industrial pursuits
are equally well rewarded one may
well marvel that so many men of su-
perlative intelligence devote their
lives to pedagogy.

MAR ON The CAT

The indictment brought against the
cat by the United States biological sur
yey may strike many persons as rath-
er too sweeping. According to these
experts the cat is neither harmless
nor necessary, but a nuisance and
danger, says the Providence Journal.
1t destroys the songbirds, and let's the
rats and mice alone. 1t is a carrier
of disease, since even when 1t has a
comfortable home it will go abroad
to mingle with the pariahs Of its kind.
1t cares nothing for it's owner and
is ungrateful for the attention it
receives. All this is, in a sense, a
twice told tale, familiar in the mouths
OF the cats enemies. But when the
government tells 1t the attention of
the most skeptical must be arrested.
There is nothing the various depart
ments and bureaus at Washington do
not know. Yet the cat will retain
some friends in spite Of this scath-
ing accusation. 1t is perfectly true,
of course, that the cat is the great
est foe the birds have. 1t is also true
that the pampered domestic pet does
not much concern itself with vermin.
1t is also true that disease may easily
be transmitted by the cats fur. But
the determination of the cat seems to
me rather heavy penalty to impose
for It's sins against society. There is
reason to believe that man Is in part
responsible for these.
