ELECTION STILL IN DOUBT
County Board Sends Wet and Dry Re.
turns Back to Many Precincts for
Correction.

LEWISTON, June 4.-The wet and
dry election held here recently is still
somewhat in doubt, though on the
face of the returns the canvas shows II
votes in favor of the vets.
The county board yesterday began
the canvas but last night ordered re-
turns sent back to all precincts ex-
cept in four precincts, the returns hav-
ing been incomplete in many different
ways The election is perhaps the
worst tangled one ever held in the
county. Many discrepancies have been
discovered in many of the precincts.
Election officers in the various pre-
cincts have been asked to make cor
rect certification of results and last
night the board adjourned until Mon
day when the canvas will be taken up
again.

INDIVIDUAL COST
OF NEW PAVING
FIGURES COMPILED WHICH SHOW
THAT THE RATE WOULD BE
RIDICULOUSLY LOW.
Pullman Also Doing Much Paving
Man From That Town Tells of Public
Interest Shown.

The city council in its official pub
lished statement has announced that
in the event the special paving bond
election carries Monday, June 8, uni
versity section is all that will be paved
this year. 1t may be of interest to
many taxpayers to know about what
it would cost them to pay their pro-
portion of the interest on the $4,000
issue of bonds which would be ne
cessary to pave the street intersections
in that district.
1t is learned from the county as
SCISSORS office that Moscow's assess
ed valuation last year was $2,52S, 1884.
Interet at 6 per cent on the $4,000 to
pay for paving the intersections, would
amount to $3.50 per year. A taxpayer
would therefore, have to own prop
erty valued by the assessor at more
than $1,000 before he would have to
pay 81 per year. 1t would not cost
the average taxpayer in Moscow more
than ten cents per year for ten years
to have the streets to the state uni
versity paved.

S. T. Suen, an educated Chinese who
studied engineering under S. e. Hut
ton in China, and who will receive a
masters degree from the University
OF Wisconsin next month, has written
Mr.. Hutton an Interesting letter rel
ative to his future plans. The local
interest in connection with Mr.. Suen
is attached to the fact that his brother,
S. F. Suen, is a graduate of engineer
ing department of the University of
Idaho, both young men having gained
high honors through their energies
and aptness. His letter in part says:
'I am glad to tell you that I have
gotten an opportunity to engage in ac-
tive work in connection with the
Hwai River Conservancy and Recam-
alton Service in central China. You
probably knew that the United States
Red Cross has recently appointed
board of eningeers to be approved by
the Chinese government to examine
the conditions in the flood district of
the provinces of Kiangsu and Anhui-
the district between the Yangtze and
the Yellow rivers. Col. Sibert is the
chairman of the board and Professor

board. l have taken hydraulic and wa
ter power engineering courses under
Professor Mead and he asks me to go
with him to China principally on the
ground that l can be of service to the
board in obtaining information of |
local character.
'sThere are five engineers who con-
stitute the board with Col. Sibert as
chairman. 1t is believed that after
four months Col. Sibert will remain
in China to act as chief engineer of
the conservancy work and the rest
of the engineers will come back.

gineering work after l have fulfilled
my duties as a kind of interpreter
which / presume will be what I shall
be called upon to perform immediate
ly after my return. l do not know
definitely what duty will be assigned
to me, but everything will be arrang-
ed after l have seen Col. Sibert in
person. Col Sibert will be in Van

A Pullman visitor in Moscow today
said:
"Since construction of pavement in
Pullman there has been a marked in
crease in the transfer of real estate
and there never was a better demand
for homes, especially residence proper
ty within the improved section of the
city The hard surface pavement is
in keeping with the substan-
tial edifices located on the college
grounds and the splendid residences
along the approach to the
hill and the aspect is inviting to the
visitor which can only tend towards

section now paved with rock macadam
will be repaved with hard surface
pavement forming connection with

when the work is completed Pullman

fortunately Moscow is much more
deally located and now has the lead

when called upon to answer the ques-

The Big Men.

The big men dare, and the big men
do; they dream great dreams, which
they make come true. They bridge the
rivers and link the plains, and grid the
land with their railway trains; they
make the desert break forth in bloom,
they send the cataract through fiume
to turn the wheels of thousand mills
and bring the coin to nations tills;
the big men work, and the big men
plan, and, helping themselves, help
their fellow man. And the cheap men
yelp at their carriage wheels, as the
small dogs bark at the big dogs heels.
The big men SOW while the cheap men
sleep. and when they go to their fields
have share Of all the grain they har-
vest there! These men are pirates
who SOW and reap and plan and. build
while we are asleep! Well legislate
till they lose their hair! Well pass
new laws that will strip them bare!
Well tax them right and we'll tax
them left, till of their plumber they are
bereft; We'll show these men that we
all despise their skill, their courage
and enterprise!'' So the small men
zap at the big mems heels-t the fake
reformers with uplift spiels, the four
eyed dreamers with theories fine, which
bring them maybe three cents line;
the tin horn grafters who always yearn
to collar coin that they do not earn.
And the big men sigh as they go their
way; they'll balk at the whole blamed
thing some day!-Walt Mason.
