comprising the crew Of the Elizabeth
Palmer we're rescued by the Old
Dominion liner Hamilton and boats
from lightship No. 72, which is sta
toned at Fenwick Island south OF
Cane Henlopen near which the dis
aster occurred.
The loss of life would have been
much heavier had it not been for the
fact that the Hamilton happened to
he in the vicinity. The man lost from
tho crew of the Washingtonlan,
which was commanded by Capt. r.
D. Erodhead, was a water tender
named Mayer.
The collision occurred at a. m
while high wind was blowing. Sew
eral members of the crew were IN a
serious condition when picked up.
The clothing of the men was frozen
stiff before they were taken INTO the
boats.
At the time of the accident many
of the Washingtonian's crew We're
asleep. They had time only to aoh
part of their clothing before the
ship began to settle. The schooner
driven by a forty mile gale, was
shedding like an express train when
she hit the Washingtonian amidshlp'
She cut deep into the steamers sac
and then sheerrd off, leaving a gap
ing hole through which the water
poured.

Nearly all the American world knows
that the natiODsJ election and nearly
all of the state elections occur ON the
first Tuesday after the first Monday In
November, but probably not one Ia all
the millions OF voters and nonvoters
can tell "why" that date was selected
for the choice OF electors. The when"
Is easy Of discovery, but that IL anoth-
er story. Ii Ii always the hrst Tues
day after the first Monday, but any
body who looks at the calendars OF
several years IN November will see
that the date varies alpost every year.
Years ago the writer inquired OF
many OF the most learned congressman
In Washington as to the why" OF the
mystery. Not one could answer ex-

BUY PRINTING IN IDAHO
State Board Of Examiners Lay Down
Rules When Attention Called to
to Printing Done Outside of
State

Boise Statesman-Idaho state none,
must be spent in Idaho.
The state board of examiners lai(
down that rule at its meeting Friday
afternoon, when it informed Ralph I
Bickel, business agent for the stats
; board of education, that hereafter il
would not approve of claims for print
ling authorized by state officials to be
done outside the state
1t was on a claim submitted by a
spokane firm that the question was
raised The Spokane house had print
ed envelopes for the University OF
Idaho to the value of $67.65
The governor and Secretary of State
Barker both objected in strongest
terms to the practice of sending work
outside the state to be done. The gov
ernor said hereafter such work must
be done in Idaho, even though it costs
| 5 or 10 per cent more. He said he
realized the motives of Mr. Bickel in
sending the work outside the state.
but he had no time for, that kind of
economy. Mr.. Barker heartily in
|dorsed his sentiments, and he and the
governor informed Mr.. Bickel that
hereafter all supplies for the board
---st be bought in Idaho.
Mr.. Bickel contended that it was
economy to buy outside the state when
money could thereby be saved He
said only a small proportion Of the
people of Idaho were merchants or
printers who could benefit from such |
a policy, and he thought the majority
which pays the bills, should be con-
sidered
He held that the three hundred and |
forty-nine thousand people of Idaho
who pay the taxes were the ones to be
considered Mr.. Barker said he be-
lieved they were willing to pay the
slight increase in cost to keep the
money in Idaho.
