The Mosquito Gone.

A few months ago majority of
citizens felt a strong inclination to
"cuss" their Mayor and Aldermen
because of the great number of
mosquitoes that were infesting their
homes and permitted to breed, un-
molested within the limits of the
town. We, ourselves, felt at times.
like calling the wrath of justice up
on them, but since steps were final
ly taken towards the elimination of
this demon of all pests. and their
efforts marked by such signal sue
cess, the wrath Of all seems to have
subsided or been forgotten. and
properly so, for just now mosquito
is seldom seen even in the vicinity
Of the septic tank where their num-
bers ran into the millions and their
activities were most aggravating.
Instead of "cussing" we have
recently heard commendatory re-
marks upon the work of the author
tiles in ridding the community of
this vile pests.
Kerosene aDG salt did the work,
and next spring these exterminaeing
factors will doubtless be applied be-
fore these "bu ' litt.le bees" begin
to be.

FIRST SEWING MACHINE.
Why the Man Who Invented the Dc.
vice Never Profited by II.

vice Never Profted by It.
Back in the thirties. says Mr..
Howard VI. Lovett in From the
Land Of Used to Be-" there were
two young men at the State uni
versity OF Georgia, who afterward
became Presbyterian ministers of
mor- than local renown. One, Will
liar. McWhorter. was quiet stu
deE:. Nho devoted himself wholly TO
bon~, and in after years became
professor at Erskine college, in
South Carolina. The other man,
Frank X. Goulding, who was of a
restless, energetic, inquiring turn OF
mind. was always trying to find
some mechanical means of tighten
ing labor.
Among the machines he contrlv-
ed was one that did the sewing for a
family much faster than it could be
done in the old fashioned way. He
was enthusiastic about his inven-
ton, which was simple lock stitch
mechanism, turned by hand. But it
did the work, and the young inven-
tor showed it to every one and talk
ed about it on all occasions.
\ young man who had come from
the north to winter in Georgia
made the acquaintance of the in
ventive student and saw his ma
chine. The northern visitor saw at
once scheme to make money
something of which young Goulding
had not thought. He returned to
the north, taking with him the idea
of the sewing machine. A few years
after news came that just such a
machine had been patented BY
Elias Howe - the shrewd young
man who had visited in Georgia.
Young Goulding's fellow student,
William McWhorter, although sew
eral classes behind him, never for
got the origin of the sewing ma
chine. Whenever he saw Elias
Howe mentioned as inventor he
would close the book and tell bis
class this story, always ending with
'Now, boys, remember it was not
Elias Howe, but Frank R. Goulding
who invented the sewing machine" !"
Goulding took pride in his inven-
ton, but did not put it on the mar
ket. He knew that sewing women
were poorly paid and thought that
machines making work easy and
cheap might make wages even low
er. But in 1912, four years before
Howe's patent, DR.. Goulding wrote
in his journal, Having satisfied my.
self about this machine, I laid il
aside that 1 might attend to other
and weightier matters" He lost
fame and fortune by not patenting
his invention.

Wonderful Natural Fountain.

One of the natural marvels of
France is the fountain or source OF
the Coulomp, a small river in the
department of the Basses-Alpes.
Out of mighty limestone wall
about 1900 feet high springs a
fountain of water, yielding even in
the driest times about 800 gallons a
second and forming a full born riv-
er, which begins its career with a
series of leaps aggregating 100 feet
of descent. 1t is thought that the
water must pass under the noun
tain by subterranean channels at
least mile in length.

REPUBLICANS WIN
IN MAINE ELECTION.
ELIMINATION OF ONE OF THE
HOTTEST CONTESTS EVER
WAGED IN THE STATE.

WAGED IN THE STATE.
Portland, Me, September H.
Maine Republicans, reinforced by
returning Progressives, won a signal
victory at the elections today. They
elected a Governor, an Auditor, two
United States Senator'S and four
Representatives in Congress and
wrestling control of the State House
of Representatives from the Derio-
Gratis, will be able OF joint vote of
the Legislature to eject the other
State officers not capseA by popular
vote.
Carl E Miliken led his ticket. de-
feating Governor Oakley G Curtis,
who sought reelection, by plural
ity of approximately $4,000.
The Republican drift extended to
county officers, the greater number
of counties choosing Republican
county Attorneys and Sheriffs.
These Offices are important locally
because their holders are charged
with enforcing the prohibition law.
The vote was heavy. The Repub-
lican leaders say nearly all the 49,
226 Progressiyes of two years ago
voted the Republican ticket.
The closest fight was for Congress
from the I'd district, where Repre-
sentative Daniel ] McGillicuddy was
defeated by Wallace H White. Jr,
by 500 plurality.
The election was the elimination
of one of the hottest fights ever
wageG in the State, and marked the
reunion of the Republican and Pro-
gressive parties, whose differences
in 1912 gave the electoral vote of
Maine to President Wilson and two
years later resulted in the election
of Governor Oakley C Curtis. DEM
ocrat, by plurality of 3,l89. To-
nights figures indicate that the
larger percentage of the Progress
i've vote which two years ago was
1926, was cast today for the Re-
publican ticket.
Throughout the campaign, in
which a number of men from all
parts of the country, drawn from
Republicans, Democrats and Pro-
gressives. participated, national is
sues were kept to the front.
For the first time the two United
States Senators were elected by pop
ular vote, and the Republicans made
determined effort to win the one
seat in the Senate and the single seat
in the House of Representatives held
by the Maine Democrats. The Dem
ocrats had claimed the State by three
thousand and the Republicans by
fifteen thousand.
The indications early tonight were
that the State Legislature, had been
won by the Republicans, who now
control the Senate. The lower House
is Democratic. Early figures show
en- Republican gain of five seats in
the House and two in the Senate.

 'One of the things that indicate that Delegate Wicker sham has introduced his statehood bill for political effect rather than the hope of securing its passage IS fe provision that Alaska shall have four representatives in Congress At the time the ratio is to about o population Wckersham would have the people of Alaska have representation equal to that of state of from 83O to
 125OO0 Of course the Wickersham brigade if it talks true to form will howl that this sort of criticism means that those who use it do large delegation congress for Alas ka and that therefore, Wickersham should be reelected However understanding and women can see the cat
 At times the Empire likes to hear itself talk For instance, in the above prove its point that the delegate introduced his statehood bill poca effect points out the provision that Aaska shall have four representatives in congress- and says the adopted ratio to about 20O populations though wanted to make the demand for state" hood appear ridiculous by of the small population ot Alaska and says that understanding and women the Of they understand and that congress is vested with an unlimited power All they need to do is to look over condition and they shall discover that have nothing say; that congress the whole push Such being ase what could prevent from gvng us four representatives instead of one For several had representative but finally secured ConcusIVey if congress had power give has power to give us four Thus an indcation that the bill introduced for political effect knocked in the head and the cat has dsapared Ketchikan Miner.

THE LOCAL OPTION ELECTION. }

The suggestion has been made that where elections held as was the case the First and Second divisions last year. and as Judge Jennings has ruled shall be the again in the First division this ascertain the preference to whether or not houor shall od that the decision should be made bv majority of those who voe and that those not vo ing should counted another That would be very proper if the law would permit it, but under the law m Alaska is necessary that the majority of all those qualified t express preference in the matter must afrmavey give consent to the liquor The effect of the order of Judge Jennings calling election is simply that those who desire may give expression their preference in secretJuneau Empire.
 The law may be clear in the matter but it seems strange that former able ursts who the bench in Alaska never interpreted it as does Judge Jennings.
