For the first time in seven consecutive
weeks, t. X. Lee. a member of the Bir-
mingham Athletic club rifle team, yes
terday missed the bulls eye in the inter-
club rifle matches. breaking his perfect
record.
With a seventh possible almost
achieved Lees eighteenth shot went as
tray and landed in the nine-point zone,
bringing to an end his long uninterrupted
run of bulls eyes. As 1t was, however,
Lee finished with a score of 1893, which
proved ample enough to give him the
worlds record for 140 shots. Lees score
for this number is 1899 out of possible
1400.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-02-15

Lee now holds the record for 60. so, 100
and 120 shots. besides jointly holding the
one for 40. Although he failed to score
possible this week, the Athletic shooter
still has chance at two other records
160 and 200 shots-and should he continue
in his present form ae viii have little
trouble in surpassinguthese marks also.
The Athletic el9h rifle team was sadly
off form this week. scoring an aggregate
score of only 9Sl, the lowest that has been
made during the past two months.

Peas Worth $50 per Acre

J. P. Dunn has completed the
harvesting of his 90 acre tract of
Canadian peas at Moravia. The
tract yielded between 500 and 600
bushels of peas and would have
yielded some 500 bushels but for
the dry season in July and August.
Mr.. Dunn is having the peas
shipped here and will hold them
for seed. He advocates the rails
ing of peas in this district and
states that the soil and climate are
admirably adapted for their growth
and that crop failure is impossible,
while the peas also serve to improve
the land upon which they are
planted. Mr.. Dunn figures that
his peas cleared for him $50 per
acre.

HOB0ES ENTERTAINED ROYALTY
Mr.. and Mrs. G. W. Sposry Hosts at
an Unusual Gathering

What is conceded by all to have
been the most unique affair of the
midsummer social season was the
hobo party" given Monday even
ing by Mr.. and Mrs. G. w.
Spoerry to large number of their
friends. The event was held in
the spacious basement that is to be
covered by the new Spoerry resi-
dence. The host, attired in the
typical rags of a brake-beam hobo
with brilliant blossom on his nose,
and the hostess, in a costume be-
fitting the occasion, met their
guests from hobo land as they APP
peared.
Not few of the make-ups were
realistic to side splitting degree,
and roars of laughter greeted each
new arrival. DIR. Moore and DR..
Stauffer could not have looked
more like typical hoboes had they
been living on mulligan stew and
handouts for years. Happy Hooli-
gan was present in the person of
J. |. Monks, Mrs. Otto Mathieson
was a typical Ragged Mary from
Poverty Row, Mrs. F. A. Shultis
was a dirty-faced bootblack, and
many other costumes, while not
strictly designed in Paris, possessed
an art all their own.
The evening was spent at the
bridge tables, first and second
prizes being awarded to Mrs. Chas.
d. Rowe and Miss Mary Hawkins,
with consolation token to Mrs.
{. w. King. The gentlemen S
first prize was won by w. o Rose
baugh and second and consolation
prizes went to DR.. c. +. Moore and
Frank Moore respectively.
A midnight lunch was served in
true hobo style in tin cans and on
graniteware plates, consisting of
baked beans, cottage cheese, brown
bread, pickles and delicious coffee
and doughnuts. Brown paper torn
from a roll took the place of the
usually snow white table linen and
large rectangular pieces of the
Spokesman-Review served as nap
kins.

more than were cast at the primary
election two years ago.
OF the total of 500 votes cast in
this precinct 361 were republicans,
Ill were democrat. 27 socialist and
10 were progressive.
All the interest conferred upon
the contests on the republican tick
ct and there were several close

counted but few of the candidates
were sure of nomination.
The greatest interest was CEN
tered upon the fight between Major

candidates for nomination for state
senator from this county. Both
candidates put up strenuous cam
paign and Elliott won out by 1856
votes to Walkers 157 votes.

McAnelly received 100 votes and
McColl ITS votes.
The race was also close for the
commissioners of the first and sec
ond districts. John G. Nagel was

York was given 1876 votes, S. +.
Henry 1873 votes, A. H. Conner
$50 votes and d. l.. Oliver 6S
votes.
The contest between A. P. Asher
and w. J. Costello for prosecuting
attorney was one that was watched
with interest and which resulted in
167 votes for Asher and 143 for
Costello. OF like interest was the
contest between Miss Mary Hurm
and J w. Ramsey for county SUI
perintendent of schools, in which
Miss Hurm was given 162 votes
and Mr.. Ramsey 143 votes. An
other close race was that between

The returns on Tuesdays cleo
ton from all parts of the state have
been slow in coming in but show
conclusively that James H. Brady
is the republican nominee for u.
S. Senator with French second and
Gooding probably in third place.
Ailshie was not nearly as strong as
even his opponents conceded, and
his strength was cut down great
deal by the account published Just
before election of how he had favor
ed the organizing of the progressive
movement two years ago.
Governor Haines is leading his
opponents by a big majority all
over the state and will probably
lead the ticket while the nomina-
ton is also assured for H. H. Tay-
lor for lieutenant governor and for
George R. Barker for secretary of
state.
In the contest for state treasurer
o. V. Allen is in the lead. Defen-
bach has but little chance to win
out in spite of the big vote he re-
ceived in the northern part of the
state.
The strength shown by the re-
publican party in the primaries
Tuesday leaves no doubt of repub-
lican success at the general cleo
ton in November in both the state
and county, and Bonner county
should be particularly proud of the
success of its two candidates, Tay-
lor and Barker.
Returns from the primary cleo
ton held Tuesday came in slowly
and definite figures were obtained
from only II precincts. These are,
however, the largest precincts of
the county and give a very good
idea of how the vote went in this
county. The complete canvass of
the votes of the county will be
made next Tuesday by the board
of county commissioners.
The figures given below are the
total votes given the various lead
ing contesting candidates for state
and county offices on the republi-
can ticket from the following pre-
cincts, Standpoint, Pend d Oreille,
Mountain View, Humbird, North
