THE job Of printing the ballots for the
November elections is one that taxes the
capacity of the best printing establish
ments in all parts of the country. In
New Castle county half million ballots
will be printed. In Kent county about
16O,O 900 ballots will be printed, and in
Sussex county, including the sample bal
lots, the number required will approx
mate 10000 ballots. When it is con-
sidered that no ballot can be printed un-
tilthe time limit for filing names as can
didates has expired, and that the entire
lot must be completed accurately and de-
livered five days previous to the day of
holding the election, the size of the task
is realized. In all Of Kent county but
one Office was equipped to do the work,
and in Sussex county the same condi-
tions were found to exist, and therefore
the contract was given to the Milford
Pr. blishing Company. To COM
piete this wbrk two and one-half tons of
paper will be required, and the presses
started last Saturday to make the run.

THE election is only a few days distant
now, and the people appear to have but
little interest in the results other than
from personal motives. The wet or
liquor interests are the most active OF
all, and have carried the question into
all branches of the candidates. 1t is Just
as well that they have, for it has raised
the question of Statewide prohibition
and the under-c current of public feeling
is that when this question is submitted
to the people on that basis, Delaware will
follow the State of Virginia, and wipe
away the sale of liquor entirely. It will
be just as well for the people to meet the
question squarely. and settle the question
by an overwhelming expression of the
people at large.

IN both of the lower counties the Re
publican party has named straight and
honorable men for the offices, and espec-
tally are they capable of holding down
the duties properly when chosen to fill
the positions of trust. This is especially
true of the county Offices, where men of
ability are candidates for the important
Offices. In the Clerk-of-the Peace posi-
ton, only man of practical business,
and experienced in public affairs should
be placed. In Sussex county in Elwood
Wright the people know that they will
have a competent, as well as an exper-
fenced man, and the same can be said of
Kent county in this particular. The
most important issues are the problem
Of highways, and the system of taxation
and the collection of taxes, and the par
ties have so far made no expressions
except through their various platforms.
Shall the people be permitted to wipe
out the wasteful, and destructive road
policies this State has been suffering
under, and institute a system of road
building under a competent system, has
simply been disregarded, and the liquor
lovers and their supporters have been
permitted to overshadow the real inter
ests of the people from financial stand
point. From now on, let's have the real
issues considered and impressed upon the
men who will sit in the next legislature
to make laws for the betterment of the
people.

CAPTIVE LYNX
 FIGHTS \ MA.

George Rorer, the proprietor of the Alaska Silver Fox and Fur Co.,. at Dry creek, a few miles north Of Copper Center, had a narraw escape from being killed by a lynx that he is holding in captivity with a view to propagatiug the species
 A few days ago an Indian brought him two lynx that had been caught in traps and he put them in 30 cor ral. As they appeared to be docile. he entered the corral to feed them, but no sooner had he got inside the enclosure when the male spraug at him and a fight for life began. Ror- CT is a powerful man, and struck the lynx on the solar pIaNus, but it was not until inc had all his clothing torn off him, and his body badly scratched that he succeeded in subduiug the animal
 After dressing and cauteriziug his wounds he made a solemn vow that never again would he go inside an enclosure where a lynx was confined Valdez Miner

TOWN OF VALDEZ HAS
 S1G,44O IN SIDEWALKS

Valdez has 24,7O0 feet of side walks and crossings according 10 the measurement made by Council man Albert White, of the street committee. Seventy blocks have sidewalks and 35 crossings have been built, and at a valuation of 50 cents a foot the citizens of the city have $1G,44O invested in good walks,
 It is safe to say that Valdez has more sidewalks than any Alaskan town, and great part of them were constructed this spring, eXtend- ing ill all directions along Keystone avenue on both sides ouo Alaska avenue to the dike on sherman street from Alaska avenue to the end of town.
 The city have constructed large crosswalzs from block to block and have filled in the bad holes on the streets until the town now has an excellent system of streets,-Val- deg Miner.

In 1916, the Wash tngton crew probably. will have only the old standbys, California and Stanford, as competitors. In 1917, if the prospects for a good crew are bright, Poughkeepsie may be at tempted again.
 Crews representative of the uni versity are to row in the Potlatch races in Seattle in July and in the Splash" at Aberdeen. Most of the men in the squad taken to Pough- keepsie are touring the East.

WILL ISSUE AN ILLUSTRATED
 ALASKA FISHERIES EDITION

The eyes of the world are at last turned to Alaska's fisheries, now generally conceded to be the worlds most important. The constant ad- vance in the price of fOodstuffs has served to turn attention to Alaska's wonderful supply OI cheap food, found in her fisheries. It was point ed out. recently at a meeting of scientists held In Seattle that al- though there are oyer 200 varieties Of edible fish found in Alaskan waters only seven varieties are eX- tensiveIY exploited. Notwithstanding this alleged oversight, the fisher les products of Alaska now have an annual valuation far in excess of that of any other division of the United States.
 As an evidence of the interest nov taken in our fisheries. it might be mentioned that the Pa ciGc Fisherman, the only journal devoted 70 the commercial fish cries Of this coast, is now planning to issue in October large illus trated Alaska Fisheries Edi- ton" the first publication of it's sort ever compiled. A staff of editorial writers and photographers are coming north this summer 10 prepare the matter.

'H.0 BOARD HIS PRIVATE PROFIT

Columbus, Ohio, July 9-The day of private profit in state work is passing. The Ohio state board of administration has struck it two body blows.
 First the board decided to stock is farms with cattle, hogs, sheep poultry and the like. With this as a start it began the construction at c-eamertes to furnish dairy pro- ducts to all stat institutions.
 Then slaughter houses were plan ..u to furnish meats. Now it is planned to open a cannery to can vegetables and fruits, raised on a-a.e farms, for winter use.
 The second step was taken when .ua board announced that it was ready to award its last contracts tor buildings to private parties.

GLACIER
 TRAIL E P00R

Marshal Frank Page, in company with two ladies, went up to Denver glacier yesterday and reports the trail from the railroad to the gIa- cier to be in exceedingly bad shape, and so oyergrown with brush and devil-clu5 that it is almost imDos- siblo to get through. In addition to this there are two or three of the bridges which are greatly in need of repair.
 There were seven people strug- gliing oyer the trail yesterday, four of whom were ladies, one of them quite well advanced in years. It had been raining, the bushes were wet and when the party got through their clothes were wringing wet and their hands all scratched up and full of briars from the deviI-clubs.
 Marshal Page says that the party of four strangers had a. hard time to keep ii the trail ana had it nUJ been for his assistance they would p.ot. in all probability have got through tU-usre g}Scf1- -~t -aa. -- --
 He thinks that the trail should he brushed out at once and the bridges repaired.
 It is his opinion thIt three or four men could cut cut the trail in a couple of days and suggests that some steps should at once be taken 10 perform the work
