Republican, won over Armon D. ebay.

by plurality of 23O. These facts
resulted from a comparison between
the returns originally received from
rural Districts by telegraph and tele-

mail. Errors were found aggregating
about 400 votes. in the former in
stance favoring Mr.. Polk and in the
latter favOring Mr.. Reinhardt. While
it is not likely that the Official can

material change, it may make differ
ence with regard to Mr.. Chaytor, as
the Prohibition vote for him may not
have been placed on all of the news

be known until the canvass is COM
pleted. 1t dosen't seem probable,
however, that Mr.. Chaytor can pull
through. He made a great fight
though and congratulations are being
showered upon him for his magnificent
run. He was not favored by third
party candidate. it being a straight
fight between him and Mr.. Reinhardt.
The battle was wonderfully close, near
ly so, 600 votes being cast.
While John G. Townsend. Jr., Re-
publican and Progressive gcbernatorial
nominee, was elected by majority of
1885 on the face of the unofficial re-
turns, the Democrats elected their cam
didate for .lieutenant-governor, Lewis
T. Eliasoh, by majority of 1876.
The Democrats also elected Thomas
R. Wilson, their candidate for insur-
ance commissioner, by majority of
l, 108, and their candidate for auditor
of accounts, William G. Roe, by a
majority of 451. The Republican
candidates for lieutenant governor, for
insurance commissioner and auditor OF
accounts were opposed by Progress

ment of agriculture in it's final esti-
mates of the year. That is $1,750,-
100000 more than the same crops

The STATE MILITIA
SENATOR BORAH OF IDAHO
BRINGS PRESSURE TO BEAR
IN CONGRESS.
DECLARES 1T is A FAILURE
Thinks 1t Menace to Country-Or-
ganized for Politics Only and Is
Used Only for Show at
Great Expense.
DECLARES 1T is A FAILURE

Washington.-Senator William p.
Borah of Idaho intends to bring every
possible influence to bear to secure
legislation at this session of congress
to abolish the national guard of the
several states.
That the national guard not only is
a failure as an arm of defense, but a
menace to the country, will be strong
ly urged by the Idaho stateman, who
will contend that the only militarism
that threatens the country is COM
bination of the militia power and the
political power.
AS evidence that the militia Is in
politics up to it's armpits Senator
Borah intends to submit to the senate
an interesting letter which, he says,
was sent out by A. B. Critchfield,
former adjutant general of Ohio, to
republicans of the Buckeye state In
attempt to line them up for former
Senator Charles Dick for the nomina~
ton for United States senate.
This letter, Senator Borah says. fur
nishes the most convincing evidence
that the national guard is perniciously
active in politics.

The city commissioners Of North
Yakima, Wash, have passed reso-
luton announcing their intention to
pave north Produce row on First ave-
nue. for six blocks at cost of from
100000 to 100000.
The council has taken up the ques-
ton of putting in a sewerage system
at Nez Perez, Idaho, and is having
surveys and estimates of the cost
made. 1t is estimated that the sys-
tenn will cost $4,000.
Plans for increasing the yard ca
pacity of the Great Northern at Hill
yard to the extent of from five to six
miles, at cost of approximately $780,
900, have been completed. There will
be at least five more tracks, which
will be 1000 feet each in length. This
will be to increase the facilities for
storing either empty or loaded cars
which are being handled in transit.

General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: The outstand-
ing and most reassuring feature Of the
business situation, as it has been for
some time, is the increased caution
manifest in banking, porducing and
distributing channels. Foreign devel-
opments have accentuated the tendency
toward wholesome conservatism, with
out affecting the progress Of finance,
of lessening the volume of transactions
in trade and industry, and recent spec
ulative readjustments have made the
general outlook distinctly clearer.
Strength continues pronounced in
many quarters, and buyers, while oper-
ating with sustained confidence, give
more consideration to the elment of
cost in making commitments for the
