1t will be seen from the above
table that the IA votes contained
therein, added to the 173 sure Demo-
cratic electoral votes. will give 'Presi-
dent Wilson at least 317 electoral
votes, when all he needs to re-elect
him is 266.
However, there is scarcely any
doubt that President Wilson will car
ry Oregon, washington and Montana,
with strong fighting chance in Mas
sachAsetts, Michigan. Minnesota, 1lli-
nois and California, and some others.
The people are realizing more and
more every day that if they would be
so u1wise as to turn a good and faith
full servant like Woodrow Wilson out
o. office, they would be simply buying
pig in a bag" if they elected Mr..
Hughes, because all that Hughes has
done, from the time he was nominal
ed until now, has been to abuse and
yillify Mr.. Wilson and endeavor to
critieise the great record that MIR.
Wilson has made. Anybody can criti-
else, but If that is all he can do. as
seems to be the case, he is not worth
serious attention.

ACCOUNT OF DEATH OF OCTUCK, ,SFAMILY Y
 AT MARY'S IGLOO
(Nome Nugget, Jan. 22.)

(Nome Nugget, Jan. 22.)
 A letter to the Nugget from MT. Edwin W. Hunnicut, the government school teacher at Mary's Igloo, un- der date of January 8 gives the full details of the drowning of the three natives in the vyicinity of that place, partial reports of which were published in these columns some days ago. The writer says that the family, John Octuk, his wife and fifteen months old baby, met their death in an overflow about ten miles from the Igloo. A native found the bodies early New Years morning, at which time they were presumed to have been in the water about forty-eight hours. Octuk's watch had stopped at the hour of 10:30, presumably on the morning of December 30, and the unfortunate trio evidently perished within about one and a half hours after leaving the Igloo on their way to Octuk's summer home on Little Salt Lake. The. par ty had arrived within about six miles of their destination when they broke through the overflow. The teacher states that the water was probably eight or ten feet deep at the time of the accident but, at the time of finding the bodies, had lessened to about two or three feet in depth. The mother evidently drowned while trying to extrlcate the sled and wheel dogs, which was the only portion of the team which broke through the ice. The man, being a cripple, was rid ing on the sled when it broke through and was either jerked off the sled or got off in an attempt to aid, as his hody was found some eight or ten feet behind the sled. The wife and child were Iy- AAS JNob HI 4AOliL Ol tile SleQ and there were indications that she died heroic death trying to save her husband who she evidently thought, was still on the submerg- ed sled. A grewsome feature of the sad affair was that the dogs which remained and had sadly
 
 mutilated the bodies of the woman and babe, which they were enabled to reach through the falling of the water. The woman's left arm and left hand of the babe had been entirely eaten off by the wolfish animals in their desperate hunger. The dead couple are very highly spoken of by the missionary. Oc- tux is declared to have been a man of exemplary character and stood very high with his people. The remains were inferred on the 7th inst. after impressive services and the funeral was attended by prac- tically every one in the village.

OUR MILITARY ACADEMY.
West Point, Where Uncle Sam's Army
 Officers Are Made.

West Point, Where Uncle San1'S Army
 Officers Are Made.
 It was in 1892 that congress estab- ished the United States Military acad- amy, the training school for officers, at West Point, on the banks of the Hud- son, flfty-two miles north of New York ity.
 Although the school for educating and training young men in the theory md practice of military science, to 1t them for duty as officers of the United States army. was not established until litter WashingtOn'S death, he was in a way the real founder. In l793 and again in 1796 he urged upon congress the necessity of such an institution. The Continental congress as early as l7I6 hud also suggested the desirability of "a military school for the army"
 Authorized in 1902, the Military aCad- emy was opened on the Fourth of July with a class of ten cadets. Prior to that time number Of students had been enrolled at the forts at West Point, where corps of artiIlerymen and engineers was stationed and infor mal instruction had been given in the arts of war
 The first decade of the aCademy's eX lstence was marked by many vicissi tudes. Although congress had created the institution. the lawmakers appar ently soon forgot all about 1t, and. lacking sufficient funds for it's proper conIuct, the academy authorities were hard pressed to keep 1t alive. At one time the school was without single instructor In its first ten years only seventy-five students graduated.
 In 1872 President Madison brought about a reorganization of West Point Soon 2iiO students were enrolled. and the institution began to assume some thing of its present form. It was not until 1877. however. that West Point began to receive serious consideration in the military world Colonel Sylva- nus Thayer, who has been called "the Father of West Point was appointed to command. and it was he who Intro luced the uniform. the organization und rules of study. Under his control he academy gained prestige and re nown. In 1893. when he resigned the command. West Point had won the re Spect of the military men of Europe and was counted among thc worlds most famous institutions of Is kind.- Exchange.
