alton any recount or contest, Governor
Alexander was less than $50 votes
ahead of Mr.. Davis.

may be made in Bonneville county

Mr.. Davis he said.
Secretary Gregory said he had re-
ceived advices from several counties.
A wire from A. G. Johnson Repub-
lican chairman of Lewis county, stat
ed that a number of straight ballots
on which the voters had expressed a
preference for Davis had been counted
for the governor over Chairman john
sons protest.
From Twin Falls county came re-
port to Secretary Gregory that the
condition was the same there.
James Hawley, Jr., secretary of the
Democratic state committee stated
yesterday that if the Republicans in
stituted any proceedings to reverse
what he declared to be a fair and full
expression of the people of Idaho on
the governorship the Democratic party
authorities would resist it vigorously.
IF anything of that sort is started"
said Mr.. Hawley, 1.-The other side can
depend upon it that we will fight them
to the last ditch"
c. 0. Broken, secretary to Governor
Alexander, issued the following state
ment yesterday:
1.-THE friends of Governor Alexander
are not in the least alarmed at the un-
willingness of the Republicans to ac-
cept the verdict of the people ex-
pressed at the polls on last Tuesday
Governor Alexander was elected and
he will serve during the next two
years. 1t is true that his plurality was
not large, but a large plurality is I'M
necessary. He was elected by plu-
rality of about 700 and no efforts on
the part of the disappointed Republi-
cans can deprive him Of his victory
1T is true that some changes have
takea pla, e.. Dut this is usual at all
elections and such changes accrue to
the benefit of one candidate as often
as to the other.
For instance, an error was found
IN the unofficial returns compiled by

CATTLE SHIPMENTS
HEAVY; PRICES GOOD
Large Offerings on Portland Mar
kets-HOgs and Lambs Increase In
Price.

One of the largest runs of the sea-
son greeted the trade again today, af-
ter several light Monday runs, says
the Portland Live Stock Reporter Of
Monday. The market opened with 1900
head in the pens and late arrivals will
swell the days total to well over 1900
head. There was a large supply of
prime beef stuff available for packers
and the market opened with a good de-
mand. There was also a large offer
ing of plain and fair sorts of cattle,
which found slower outlet.
Most all offerings got away at fully
steady prices.
Feeders were in good demand. there
being a large supply that started to
move early. Prices were steady with
a week ago.
Prices in the hog market continued
its upward trend today The market
opened with a keen call from all pack
ers; while there being a good supply
of $500 head it did not near meet the
demands. The top of 1915 for a num-
Der of prime loads was IS cents higher
than last weeks close while the bulk
eff sales at $3.50 and 1886 was a good
cents higher
Quality of the offerings are holding

Republicans and Democrats are de-
termined to follow up the reports COM
ng from the several counties it was
learned upon interviewing party lead
ers. The Democratic leaders and
friends of Governor Alexander assert
that the attempts to bring about re-
counts is fathered by disappointed Re-
publicans who will not concede the re-
eiecuon Of the chief executive of the
state, which, it is claimed, has been es-
tablished beyond any question of doubt
by a plurality of about 700. Republic
can leaders assert they are in possess
sion of enough reports from men
whose word cannot be questioned,
there have been many votes thrown
out that should have gone to ID. w.
Davis, the Republican gubernatOrial
candidate, and that with the situation
developing in Bonneville county they
propose to follow the reports with an
investigation and carry the cOntrO
NeISy 10 lue HIGHEST courts OF lilt ldhu'
if necessary. Aside from Bonneville
the reports they have received are
from Twin Falls, Adams, GOoding,
Bannock and in fact practically all
southern Idaho counties. In Bannock
county, it is claimed, that where
crosses were marked in the Democrat
ic circle and the voters later jumped
over into the Republican party column
and voted for Davis, the election
judges refused to count the votes Civ
en- him. The Democrats claim that in
sofar as this kind of scratching is
concerned they are willing to take
their chances of maintaining the plu-
rality of the governor for they figure
that where his vote will be cut down
in some counties it will be more than
made up in others.
There is a wide difference of Opin-
ion as to how the judges in the various
precincts should count the scratched
ballots.
In Bonneville county those opposed
to the opening of the ballot boxes in
the two precincts involved are prepar-
ed to apply for restraining orders in
the district court and if the ballot
boxes are opened to swear to criminal
complaints and have those response

No Laws Delay Here.

In Perak, in the Malay peninsula,
lawyers find no business, for a modi-
fed form of trial by ordeal decides all
disputes. In place of the legal practi-
toner the pleader is a native boy who
is assigned to one or the other Of the
sides and is given a bamboo tube, in
which is sealed the pleading Of the
person or party whom he represents.
When all is ready two stakes are driv-
en- into the bed Of q stream, and by aid
of bamboo pole the heads of the two
boys are submerged at the same time
By grasping the stakes they are ena-
bled to remain under water for quite
awhile after their natural inclination
would bring them to the surface, but
at last one Of them gives in and, re-
leasing his hold of the stake, comes to
the air. He is Immediately seized, and
the tube he holds is cast aside. The
other lad is led ashore, his tube opened
and the document contained therein
stands as the decision in the case.

ANCIENT FLOATING PALACE.
The Wonderful Ship Built For Hero,
Kino of Syracuse.

The antiquity of ships may not be
gagged, for in Genesis it is recorded
that ships were even old on the Medi-
terranean in the days Of Jacob. Fully
1880 years before Christ, Ammon built
long and tall ships with sails on the
Red sea. Ninety years later the ship
Argo was built, 1.-The first Greek YES
sci which ventured to pass through the
sea without sight of land, being guided
only by the stars"
The wonderful vessel built for Hero,
king Of Syracuse, excited curiosity and
wonder. The craft was constructed
under the direction Of the celebrated
mathematician. Archimedes, by a ship
builder at Corinth, from wood cut on
Mount Etna. Her decks were paved
with small and odd tiles, on which
were depicted with wonderful art
scenes from Homer's ''Iliad."
On the upper deck was a gymnasium
containing gardens planted with many
kinds Of shrubs, with walks between
them overshadoWed by vines and ivy,
the roots of which were nourished in
mOistened earth. Near this apartment
was a dining room dedicated to Venus.
paved with agates and precious stones.
The walls and ceiling were of cypress,
and the doors of ivory.-Argonaut.
