SULzER STILL
 HOLDING LEAD
Returns from Fourth Give Him Bet ter Lead In That DivisiOn-Three New Precincts Reported Here To- day--Piurality of 23D.

Charles A. Sulzer, the Democratic candidate for Delegate to Congress, still maintains his lead and there ;s now apparently no chance of it being overcome. Only few precincts re- main to be heard from and the best that can be expected, according to in dications from other precincts is that both candidates will break about even. The following table gives the returns up to 3:30 p. m. today and are authentic:
 JUNEAU, Nov. 1.-The First di- vision, with the precincts of Craig, Shakan and Yakutat, all expected to give Sulzer a plurality, and Rake, which is conceded will give a plu- rality for Wickersham, still uncount- ed, the returns for the two leading candidates for Delegate to Congress from Alaska are Sulzer 236S and Wickersham 1847, giving Sulzer a plurality of 521. Delegate Wicker sham has wired here from Cordova claiming the election, although on Saturday he admitted defeat. It is believed here that Wickersham bases his hopes on the possibility of con testing the election in case the House is Republican.
 Fourth Division Returns.
 FAIRBANKS, Nov. 14.-Completc returns from the Fourth Division to date, give Wickersham 1922 votes and Sulzer 1859, or a plurality for Sulzer in the division of 37 votes.

WORK OF COUNTY AGENT
Cultivated Land in Wahkiakum County
Increased Fourfold by Agriculturalist

Cultivated Land in Wahkiakum County
Increased Fourfold by Agriculturalist
Increasing cultivated land fourfold
is the record of Geo. A. Nelson, Coun-
ty Agricultural Agent of Wahkiakun
county, with headquarters at Cathla.
met, WASH, according to a report to
the Extension Service of the State
College of Washington.
When Mr.. Nelson took up the work
in Wahkiakum county in 1913 there
were 5000 acres under cultivation. This
is accounted for partly by the fact
that the greater part Of the county is
timber land. Excellent farm land is to
be found along the banks of the CO.
lumbia river, but the problem was how
to keep the water out.
Mr.. Nelson organized diking dis
tricts in his county by means of which
thousands of acres have been made
tillable. Upon the completion Of the
diking of district now in progress
the land under cultivation will have
grown to $4,000 acres of most excel
lent soil. 2
Diking districts are being organized
continually with the end in view of
increasing farmable land in Wahkia-
KUN county. Is the County Agricultur-
al Agent worth while? = Extension

Chimpanzee and Dog, "Chubb"
And FLUFF" Are Tent Lovers
Strange Bond Of Affection Be.
tween Barnum & Bailey
Mascots.

They're an oddly matched pair, but
sweethearts nevertheless.
"Chubb" is the chimpanzee's name and
Fluff" is the name Of the little white
dog that the monkey holds in his arms,
"Chubb" is the clown Of the "Barnum
Bailey menagerie and his Official mis-
sion in life is to cut funny capers for the
edification of the big family Of wild ami
mails coming to Washington on Monday
and Tuesday with the greatest show on
earth"
Fluff" is also a real circus performer,
having been a member of a troupe OF
trained dogs and ponies which for several
seasons was featured on the Barrum &
Bailey program.
At first "Chubb." who was boss Of the
chimpanzees, would have nothing to do
With the little dog, but gradually when
he began to realize that she meant no
harm, he began to play with her when
ever she was allowed in the cage. Soon
the two became fast friends, and Fluff
would play for hours at a time with the
big monkey on the floor Of the cage
When Barnum & Bailey circus ex-
hibits here this year it will bring a
menagerie containing more than l10 dens
OF wild animals, in addition to a herd of
forty-one elephants, thirty-eight camels
and a family of giraffes.
a circus OF all nations is the way
the areniC program is described this sea
son, and more new and thrilling feature
acts are promised than ever before. APP

the performance in the three rings, four
stages and in the maze Of aerial rigging.
