Mr.. Thymian visits st. Maries
frequently in connection with the

seeing st. Maries and states
that he is indeed very much sur
prised at the excellent showing
of the residence districts of the

day is the best trading center in

Washington And

The states of Washington and
Oregon have both gone dry. The
majarity in favor Of state wide

tween thirty and forty thousand.
The result in Washington, al
though not so strong, is equal

favor of prohibition will be at
least fifteen thousand and may
reach twenty thousand Spokane

Street Improvement
Nearly Completed
MANY CEMENT Walks ARE PUTIN
improvements Receive Much Favorable Comment
From Visitors

The street improvement work
in yearly done. The Two Mir
acle company has nearly com
pleted its contract and there only
remains a little finishing up on
College avenue. The total amount
of street grading and maeadam-
izing done is about forty blocks
with concrete curbs and cutters.
The grading of the streets has
permitted the building of perma-
nent walks in that portion of the
city and a large amount of con-
crete walks have been put in.
Although the company has no con
tract with the city to build side
walks, it has done quite a large
amount of this kind of work, the
contracts being made direct with
the property owners. AS soon
as the grading on Main street
was completed some of the prop
erty owners had cement side
walks put in. This added so much
to the appearance of the street
that the resident property own IS
presented a petition to the cOuE
Gil asking that cement walks be
ordered in on the portion known
as the West end. Later cement
walks were ordered in on the east
end Of Main and on First and
College.
Most of these walks have been
built, nearly all by the company
under contract with the property
owners. The price charged by
the company has been so reason
able in comparison with what has
heretofore been charged here that
a number of the property owners
in the district even where they
were not ordered put down by the
council have decided that con-
crete walks were cheaper in the
end and are having the company
put them in, so that we shall have
cement walks practically all over
the improved district.
The street improvements and
the cement walks are attracting
a large amount Of favorable COM
ment from visitors who remark
upon the improved appearance Of
the city.

Europeans will
Come To America

Baltimore American: Immi-
eration officials and others who
are in a position to obtain ad-
vance information are of opin-
ion that at the close of the Eur
opean war, or before the close,
il it is possible to get over to this
side before the war ends, there
will be a rush of European immi-
grafton to the United States pas
sing by far all previous records.
From Russia, Poland, Austria,
Belgium and even from Germany
this peaceful invasion will be
coming, say those who undertake
to speak with some degree of au-
thority upon this matter. If this
forecast is accurate immigration
authorities, national and state
and civic organization that make
a specially of social problems
should be devising ways and
methods, even now, for disposing
of this extraordinary influx to the
extent that there shall not be pop
ulation congestion in certain
spots. The United States can
easily absorb three or four mill
lions of good population mater
ial if it can be only rightly placed.
There is agricultural opportun-
ity in the south Atlantic and gulf
states for at least 100000 OF
thrifty soil tillers.

Retain Majority
In Both Houses

Washington, Nov. Thomas
j. Pence, in charge Of the head
quarters of the democratic na-
tional committee, issued the fol-
lowing statement tonight after
conferences with Postmaster
General Burleson, Secretary to
the President Tumulty and other
administration officials;
"a careful canvass of the ell
ectiOn returns shows that the
democracy has strengthened its
position in the senate and has
splendidly maintained itself with
The election of the greatest ma
jorty ever returned by any party
in an off year following a re-
vision of the tariff system.
with complete returns from
all save f6 districts the democrats
have carried 225 congressional
elections, as against 1873 by the
republicans, three by the social
lists and three by the progressives,
a majority of 81 over the republi-
cans
"It is gratifying to know that
the party has strengthened its
hold in the great middle west and
on the Pacific coast"
Mr.. Pence said the relation of
the democratic majority in the
house had little bearing on the
situation because of the strength
of the progressive vote two years
ago led to the election Of so many
democratic members by minor
ity votes.
This time we had a standup
fight with the republicans and we
have defeated them" said Mr..
Pence. Generally speaking, the
progressives were not a factor in
this election. The outcome this
year therefore can not be com
pared to that of two years ago.
I'VE have elected democratic
governors in Minnesota, Nebras-
ka. Massachusetts, Tennessee,
Michigan, Wyoming and Idaho, as
we'll as in the southern states.
There was danger Of our losing
senators in Colorado and Oregon
but both Senators Thomas and
Chamberlain have been elected,

Getting Senator Newlands in New

The returns on the advisory
vote for or against county diyis-

the precincts the returns were
sealed up without copying the re-

will not be known until the Of

The figures now at hand show

creation of Benwah, the figures
heing; For Benwah county, 1867,
Against Benwah county, 1881.
The Coeur d'Alene county prop
csiiion was badly beaten in the
same precincts, the vote being;
For Coeur d'Alene county 7Ol,
Against Coeur d'Alene county,
1860. The south part of the
county was almost unanimous in
favor of Benwah county, Emida
being especially strong for it.
The vote there was 40 for it and
o against it. A few of the pre-
cincts in the north part of the
county also favored Benwah
county but Rathdrum and Har-
rison voted strong against it. No
line could be obtained on the
county division question in Occur

was county division carried by an

democrat she gave a majority to
every candidate on the democrat

This announcement was made tonight when the club owners of the outlaw" league took g. brief recess from the meeting, W hich lasted all day.

No list was given out, but a complete roster is promised the public next week Twenty five stars" who have not been connected with any club, but were signed by President Gilmore for the league were awarded to the teams in need of them.
 There are seven ball players on the world tour who are wanted by the Federals. and next week the new league leaders. headed by President Gilmore, will be at the pier at New York to meet them when they land.
