CAN YOU MATCH THIS. BROTHER
HARMAN?
To the Snake Editor:

To the Snake Editor:
l would not start snake story
telling contest for anything, but as
"Bro." Harman is responsible for n
whopper, 1 can hardly resist the in
clination to match his story by re-tcll-
ing one | heard year or two since
but you must put the ban on the-mat
ter after this goes in.
To begin: A member of the Vano-
yer family, who answers to the cog
nomen of "Blackhead," was out in
the mountains, (Cumberland) carry
ing his gun. Finding some buckle
berries, he set the gun by a tree, and
proceeded to regale himself on the
luscious berries. When he returned
to the gun, he saw large blacksnalle
wrapped about the brcech. AS he
approached, the "beast" appeared to
tighten his grip about the lock, when
the piece was discharged. At that the
snake sprang off and was gone. A
squirrel came crashing through the
branches of the tree-shot by the
snake.
Now, Mr.. Editor, Vanover being a
truthful man, pray do not question
Bro. Harman's credulity.

BEAVER HIGH SCHOOL DEFEAT
ED BY TAZEWELL TEAM.

The Tazewell High School quint
closed the basketball season last Sat-
urday by defeating Beaver High
School team in the hardest fought
game of the season, by score of Sd
to 30. Tazewell led off with three
field goals and one free goal before
the Beavers could score a single point.
Tazewell kept very good lead dur
ing the first half and at the end of
this half the score stood 20 to IL. In
the second half the Beavers scored
three field goals in two minutes, but
then Tazewell came back with three
field goals. The score was close
throughout the whole half, but the
Beavers were never able to catch up
with the locals. Excellent team work
was displayed by both teams, altho
the players were hindered by wet
ground in some places. This is the
last game scheduled in the Interscho-
lastic League.

BOND ISSUE OF
Sl55,OOO WANTED
From All Reports Election Will
Carry BY Large Majority and
Citizens WilE Connect Up
Much Needed Gaps.

The bond issue election in Clear
Fork district will be held next Tues
day. From what can be gathered
upon inquiry, there will be but few
votes against it. The district is prac-
tically unanimous, as it should be, on
this question, which is of vital i'm
portance( not only to the citizens of
Clear Fork district, but to every cit
zen of the entire county and even
adjoining counties. There should be
and will not be, it is safe to predict,
little or no opposition to move in
which every interest of the communi-
ty is vitality concerned. The pro-
gressive citizens of the great district
will rally enmasse on Tuesday, and
carry the election with great enthu-
siasm and unanimity. On April 4th,
the citizens of Jeffersonville district
will rise up and do likewise, for SIM
liar issue in this district.
The amount of the proposed issue
in Clear Fork district is $155, 900, and
in Jeffersonville district, 100000.
And SO, on this round we will clean
up this bond issue business and be
done with it.

LOCAL ELECTION VOTE
 WAS VERY LARGE

The feature of the voting in the Second Division was the large vo:e cast for Grigsby over his opponents for the Second Division. Anothc: marked feature was the large and slowly tallied vote in Nome.
 The referendum features were the victory for the eight hour law and the Drys, which however was para lelled throughout the Territory in the returns that have arrived. The first count was that which was complete in the U. s. Commission CTS precinct which arrived a little over an hour after the tally began, but it was also the smallest.
 In the Second Division the contest was keen between the several candi- dates. It has to be said that it was apparent to everyone that the vote here was decided purely along per sonal and not along political lines

Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Yer mont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin,, N. D., making a total 2S3 electoral votes, more than was needed by eighteen. The democrats of these claim Delaware, Mass , Washington and West Virginia, with California doubtful.
 Wilson certainly carried Utah, Ne braska according to latest returns and Maryland is certainly safe. ' At a. m. The democratic Head quarters was claiming the certain election of Wilson by an electoral college majority of two.
 It is evident that Wilson is gain- ing in Washington. Should his vote there exceed Hughes his election is possible, if not it is very doubtful if he will defeat the republican can didate.
 It is admitted no final result will be known before ten o'clock today. It looks as if Kansas will be for Wilson with safe majority. This morning the republicans concede Maryland.
 The democrats declare victory as- sured and the republicans are equal ly confident

CORDOVA, Nov. S.-Partial re- turns indicate that Wickersham will carry this division with the Grigsby Schofield contest closer but still favoring the republican unless the Anchorage returns give Grigsby a lead over Schofield as the latter oD- tained a great start in this city and district. The outlying towns and those on the Kenai Penisula are slow coming in but indicate that outside of this town Schofield's s strength is not very marked.
 The eight hour day and the Drys carried this town and so far all those precincts which have been heard from.
 The result in this town was Lewis 34, Sulzer 157, Wick POI. Grigsby S6, Schofield 1855, Cobb 78. Cobb caused a defection from Grigsby's support. The initial returns from several precincts in the Third Divi- sion at one o'clock show Lewis 80, Sulzer 276. Wickersham 384, Cobb 152, Grigsby 195, Schofeld 275.

JUNEAU, Nov. S.-At midnight the count in this city was hardly under way. Haines shows the fol- lowing Lewis 8, Sulzer 43, Wicker sham 56. Cobb 29, Grigsby 39, Schofield 30.
 Douglas return is as follows: Lewis 40, Sulzer 135, Wick 112. Cobb 81, Grigsby 80, Schofied 96.

 Wrangel returns are: Lewis 5, Sulzer Ill, Wickersham 156.

pouring from the presses of both morning and evening journals which sold like hot cakes.
 New York went for Hughes who ran slightly ahead of his state ticket all of which was elected. Governor Dunne admitted defeat TOT re-elec- tion in Illinois by sending tele- gram of congratulations to Frank Lowden his republican rival. Hughes plurality is something over one hundred thousand in Illinois and not quite so much in this state.
 The count followed the clock across the states and as the votes were reported showing Wilson gain. ing the excitement grew to be in- tense. Ohio was claimed by both sides, but Wilson had it safely. As late as midnight Indiana was still somewhat doubtful with Hughes leading with small plurality. The sweep into Kansas showed Wilson holding his own and the solid south remained throughout un- broken. Wilson in almost al, in- stances ran ahead of his ticket and while the full returns are not avail. able it is apparent that the repub- licans made extensive gains in 10th houses and will have workable majority.
 At about one o'clock this morning the republicans were claiming Cali
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-11-08

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-It was after midnight here when both sides claimed victory in the great presi- dential race between Hughes and Wilson. The republican National Headquarters issued statement de- claring that the election of Hughes was safe when this was immediately followed by retort from the Na- tional Democratic Headquarters we don't cOncede the election or Hughes by any means. President Wilson can still win with from states which we have so far practl- cally heard nothing at all. The western states have yet to be heard from and the indications are that they will be all for Wilson. We have given up New York and indica- tions are that we lost New Jersey. But we hold Massachusetts safe and Kansas, Delaware and Maryland also appear safe.
 The statement was signed by Vance Mccormick.
 In all cities literally pandemonium reigned before the bulletin boards damned with excited crowds. The din in the streets was fearful with demonstrations for either one or the other as the reports went up. That was the scene here all through the night and it was re-duplicated in practically every city with extras

FAIRBANKS, Nov. 8.-Political activities here eliminated in a big vote being cast throughout the Fourth Division yesterday. The re- suits showed that tickets and frame ups were slaughtered for further frame-ups made at the eleventh hour. Schof1eld and Wickersham ran strongly.
 Grigsby ran poorly. M'Gowan on the other hand democrat carry ing the exceptionally stout N. 0. company's influence and the liquor men behind him ran ahead of his ticket. The eight hour law and the vets carried all districts outside the town of Fairbanks.

banks in this division showed Sulzer 25S and Wickersham 257.
 A notable feature of the vote was the strength of M'Gowan as against Dan Sutherland although the latter beat him to Fairbanks M'Gowan polling 213, and Sutherland 219.
 These returns are indicative of some political thimbleriggery where by Wick votes were traded for M'Gowan in the senatorship race.
 FAIRBANKS, Nov. 8.-At three o'clock this morning the Wicker shamites received a damper when they noted that the former ma jority of their chief showed big falling off, and it seems improbable says the News Miner that he will carry this Division by more than a hundred.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-How con- pletely the democratic party was deserted by the great donators to campaign committees in the past was seen in the almost post cleo tion statement of Henry Morgenthau the Financial Chairman of the De- mocratic National Committee.
 He said that they spent one mill lion eight hundred and fifty thou sand making deficit of two hund. red thousand which they will have to make up ''but we are not worry ing".

SEWARD, Nov. 8.-Grigsby's big vote in this city will probably with help from Anchorage land him ahead in the Third Division. The finals for this city are Sulzer 183, Wick 258, Cobb 145, Grigsby 195, Schofield 88.

In the largest chamber of the house
two closets had been built on opposite
sides OF the room intended for two
occupants. This was excellent. so far

ture of the arrangement was a double
dresser affair made of two plain enam-

and long mirror. The hoard was
bracketed TO the wall like shelf,
about halfway up between the two
chests, and the mirror hung just above

Keep Debutante in Mind.

In the maze of lovely evening clothes
for grown-ups it must not be forgotten
that there are just as lovely things for
the high-school girl and the debutante.
Dresses for these young girls are made
OF Softest taffeta, gauze and net, and
where tinsel lace is used it is but a
suggestion, a wisp beneath a f1ounce
of tulle or a fine thread Of gold or sill
yer run in q pulled waist. A lovely
dress of powdered Dresden chiffon taft
feta is made with broad front and
back panels of the silk, which open
over double founced petticoat of let
tuce-green tulle yelled in silver-run
gauze. The high girdle bodice is of
taffeta and the frilled sleeves and
guimpe are of flesh-colored tulle. This
dress is $3.50
And, of course, to wear with these
flmy dresses there must be good warm
cloaks. OF wild thyme green velvet is
one made with wide belt~and trimmed
around the close-buttoned collar and
the snug cuffs with broad bands of
fitch. This coat is lined throughout

beautiful fabrics and garments of all
kinds that were different. On one Oc-

classic Grecian costume she immedi-
ately saw possibilities. At that time.
fashion history intimates, Josephine
had begun to put on f1esh.'' She took
the idea of the classic Greek dress
home with her, and adapted the long,
graceful falling draperieS to her own
figure. The girdling of a Grecian robe
does not suggest a waistline, Joseph
inc added and emphasized this, and
made it a high waist at that, revealing
the bust curves. She "reefed' the skirt,
making it tight and also figure reveal
Ing. Thus was the first empire style
of waiStline born
Many of the first empire gowns have
severely plain, tight skirts. Others
have tunics and straight draperieS or
trains. Possibly the upper arm of the
Empress Josephine had lost its beauti-
full shoulder line, and the short pulled
sleeve of the first empire was added
to the newly evolved style because of
this fact.
In any evert, first-empire styles are
adopted cousins if not actual blood re-
lations, of the classic Greek dress, and
the Empress Josephine is credited with
this family intermingling.
The sketch gives a suggestion for a
Grecian style wedding gown. Ivory
white bridal satin is used with a beau
tiful Grecian pattern embroidery done
In silver thread on the tunic, bodice
and train. The sleeves are of geor-
gette, as obviously the sleeveless gown
of the pure Grecian period would hard
ly be advised for Il twentieth century
bride.
The small sketch is an exact line-fOr-
line copy of first empire frock. In
the high and clearly defined waistlne
one may trace the handiwork of the
Empress Josephine, as in her addi-
ton and subtraction methods of style
designing she transformed a Grecian
costume into one that would go down
in history as of first empire.
