MAJORITY PLACED

MACHINE WRECKED IN YES
TERDAY'S ELECTION.
VIM. SULzER MUCH PLEASED
In Commenting on the Result He
Says that the People Have Found
Out Where the Rascality Is in New
York.

New York, Nov. Ain one of the
greatest municipal elections ever wit
messed in Greater New York, in which
approximately a half million votes
were cast, John p. Mitchell, the fusion
candidate for mayor, today defeated
Edward F. Mccall, the Tammany can
didate, by $4,000 plurality. The fusion
candidates carried almost every pre-
cinct in the city, and the defeat Of
Tammany was conceded early in the
evening.
Tonight New York is celebrating
the great victory, while Charles F
Murphy, the defeated Tammany lead
er, has refused to even issue state
~nent on shezesult.
Not only did Mitchell win, but ir
almost every instance the Tamman>
candidates for various state and city
places were defeated.

Rebuke to Tammany.

The voice of the people of New York
today was striking rebuke to Chas.
F. Murphy and Tammany hall More
charges have been brought during the
campaign than ever before in a may
orally contest in New York. Sulzer,
the deposed governor, played con-
spicuous part in the campaign, jump
ing into it right after he had been
ousted and fighting with all his might
against the Tammany lineup. To
night he expressed himself as graft
fed over the result. The people have
found out where the rascality really
les,' is the comment he made on the
result.
Mitchell, the successful candidate
was supported by the Republicans
anti-Tammany Democrats, Progress
sives and a number of independent
political organizations. The Indepen
dence league endorsed Mitchell fol
mayor and Charles S. Whitman, the
fusion and Democratic candidate fol
district attorney, but its own candi

THINKS OUR BETS BEST.


w. H. Sifford is here from his
farm near Woodland, Cal, and is in
attendance upon the bedside of his
daughter, Mrs. Lee Winder, who is
seriously i'll of typhoid fever at the
G. w. Likes home. Mr.. Sifford resid-
ed in this valley for many years and
never loses and opportunity to ex-
tol its virtues. Commenting upon
the sugar beets raised here he said
they were away and above the pro-
duet of the coast. Not only does
this apply to the sugar content but
to the size as well and there is lit
tie doubt in the minds of knowing
ones that this valley is as nearly an
ideal sugar beet section as can be
conceived of.
The beets at the factory, several
thousand tons of them, attest in elo-
quent fashion the virtues of the soils
hereabouts for beet culture. OF uni
form size and shape they form YER
liable eye feast in the bins.
Mr.. Sifford was a pioneer advocate
of sugar beet culture here. More
than 10 years ago County Commits
sioner C. P. Cirac and he caused ex-
periments to be made, which DEM
onstrated to a nicely the adaptibility
of the product to this valley.

THE GOVERNMENT GAME LAW
Nimrods Should Carefully Study the
Lately Passed Measure And Abide
BY its Provision.

Following the proclamation of
the President OF the United States
= establishing regulations for the pro-
lection of migratory birds, the de-
/ partment of agriculture mas set in
motion machinery to make these reg
ulations effective in every state No
vember 1st, the date set for the op-
GRAFTON of the proclamation.
These regulations put under fed
eral protection for the first time a
large number of migratory game and
lnsectivorous birds and thus place
federal restrictions upon the 5,00O.-
600 hunters of the United States. In
enforcing these regulations the fed
eral authorities will cooperate with
state authorities in carrying out pro-
visions of the law and to prevent
complications in the local enforce
ment of the regulations
Among the birds protected by the
regulations are the brant, wild duck,
goose, swan, cranes of various spec
les, rail-, several kinds of shore birds,
pigeons, doves, wild pigeons bobo-
link, catbird, chickadee cuckoo, fly
catcher, flicker, grosbeak, humming
bird, nighthawk, nuthatch, oriole,
robin, shrike, swallow, swift thrush,
warbler, whip-poor-will, woodpecker
and wren.
The regulations for the enforce
ment of the law separates the coun-
try into two zones known as the win
tering and breeding zones. The lat
ter comprises rs states lying wholly
or in part north of latitude 40 and
the Ohio river and the former COM
prises 23 states and the District or
Columbia lying wholly or in part
south of latitude 40 and the Ohio
river.
A closed season has been estab-
lished on the catbird, chickadee,
erossbeak, humming bird, martin.
whip-poor-will, meadow lark, bull
bat, robin, swallow, thrush and wood
pecker. The regulations contain a
prohibition abolishing the hunting
of all migratory game and insecti-
vorous birds from sunset to sunrise.

hEVADA'S LEADING CITIZEN
Some Facts About Francis q. New
lands, Nevada's Great Democrat
Who Works For Nevada At
All Times.

That United States Senator Fran
els G. Newlands is one of the really
great men of the nation is conceded
by everyone save a few of his polit-
ical enemies, who may covet his po-
sition in this state so roundly
earned. In considering what he
has done for Nevada this section has
especial cause for pride, for 1t was
Newlands who, outwitting the dele
cations from other western states,
secured an amount from the recla-
nation fund in excess by big odds
of what many other states have re-
ceived, though Nevada was and is
the smallest contributor to the fund
of any of the states of the west. In
asmuch as the fight for reclamation
money apportionment has been
made upon the argument that states
contributing to the fund should ben
eft proportionately, Newland's in
estimable value to his state is dem
onstrated in this single instance. In
great many other ways he has
shown his adaptability TO things
that are big in a lawmaking way and
Nevada could i'll afford to lose him
at this period in its history. Any
way, IL will not,

some of the city's 1914 creditors

District No. 16, (Soda Lake., has

An extra sheep tax of $40 has
been levied against sheep in this
