Official Count Compliments Is

Warburton Fails to Garry Co.
unity on Progressive Ticket
Archer Is Candidate

In another column will be found
the official count of the Republican
ticket at the primary elections. Lat.
er the Herald will publish the COM
plete vote, but at present, owing to
the fact that all contests of note
were in republican circles it is found
impossible to tabulate the figures for
this issue.
A glance at the table referred to
shows that Albert Johnson carried
Chehalis county, although R. a. Wi.
ley carried Aberdeen, his home city.
by big majority. W. D. Campbell,
who was not opposed for county aud
itor received the biggest vote of any
on the ticket, his total vote in the
county being 1880, while Superintend.
ent l. W. Hodge, who was also un.
opposed, received 3,273 votes.
Z. E. Boner for state senator was
complimented by vote of 3,1S8,
while Wesley L. Jones for United
States senator received 3,115.
Jerry McGillicuddy, democratic cam
didate for treasurer, was easily the
leader cn his ticket and even pulled
down 142 republican votes, which, Of
course, are no good for counting.
The surprise of the official count
is probably in the progressive con-
gressional race. 1t was generally as
sumed Warburton would lead, but he
only got SO votes to Hubbells 101.
The closest race of all was for con-
stable in Hoquiam, where Elmer Up
son got 332 votes and Pete Jensen
got 333. Chas. E. Kuhn, the third
candidate, got 1877. For justice of
the peace in the same precinct w.
M. Lamb got 500 votes and P. Nc.
Monagle got 800.
In Aberdeen F. M. Cook for jus.
tice got 652 votes and Ira N. Gardner
got 1856. c. Y. Fenwick got S39 for
constable and F. G. Dollman got 531.
F. R. Archer will be republican can.

COUNCIL MET
WEDNESDAY
City Dads Have Several Diff
ficult Problems
to Solve

The city council had several diff
cult problems put up to it at the meet
ing Wednesday night, among them
being question of a limit of the
weight of loads that may be hauled on
wheels over the city streets. The
present ordinance, framed when the
streets of the city were all plank, linn.
tied the tonnage to 1000 pounds. or
late, the improved streets has led to
increased capacity of hauling vehi-
cles, and the police want to know
where they are att. After a discus.
sion, the matter was laid over for a
week.
Judge J. c. Pearson presented a
petition, signed by, what he said rep
resented 80 per cent of the resident
population, and fully fifty per cent
Of all the property in North Aberdeen
asking that a Third Fill District be
established, and that part OF the city
filled, by sluicing from the hills.
Engineer Kelsey estimated the cost
of paving the alley in block rs from
Broadway to X, as $1,429.46. with q
property valuation of $45,500.
Application Of Elway & Miller to
erect an oil tank in the rear of the
Turner hotel was referred.
Bids for a one and one-half ton
auto truck were opened. The Poulson
Auto company would sell White
truck for $4,000; the F. & F. Garage
Federal for 1880 and REQ for
$1,SOO; D. Y. Ovitt offered a used
truck for $2,412, and w. H. Bush Of
fered one Jeffrie truck for Sits and
another for $4,000. All bids were re-
ferred for one week.
L. H. Burnett in a communication
informed the council that he accepted
the gas franchise given himself and
associates by the council and was
ready to locate at the wish of the
council.
A petition signed by the Chehalis
Produce company, Pacific Produce
company and West Coast Produce
company asking all persons engaged
in the wholesale business of fruit,
farm and dairy products without any
permanent places of business be re-
quired to take out license, was re-

THREE THOUSAND FEET, DANGLING IN SPACE,
CLINGING- TO THIN PROPELLER BLADE

that threw the twelve heroes of the
crew to the floor of the hanging cab
in; to shut their eyes expecting the
great bag momentarily to collapse,
dropping them 5000 feet to mangled
masses of dead men in the hay
fields. The blade had not punctured
the bag. The heroes aroused them
selves and gazed at each other, faces
blanched with horror at the thought
of the death they had narrowly es-
capped.
No sooner had they congratulated
each other than they realized they
were in a terrible position. The air.
ship, without its propeller, was help
less and drifting rapidly in the wind
straight back over the German lines.
With glasses they in the cabin could
see the haze hanging eternal over the
worlds greatest battlefield.
Artificer Meyer was busy. There
was an extra propeller, and while
the others were discussing their dan
ger he had found this propeller and
was making his way back through
the airship. Sticking out from the
stern fifteen feet behind the cabin
was a thin rod-a roc of steel two
and a half inches thick. At the end
of that thin rod the broken ends of
the propeller blades we're fastened by
bolts.
Without a word Meyer craWIed out
that rod to the end. With legs

ward. Then he slid backward along
the rod, secured the new propeller
and, again clinging by legs and
hands, he crawled back and drew the
new propeller blades over the end of
the shaft.
