SULzER LEADING
 BY 3S VOTES
THREE DIVISIONS ARE COUNTED
Democratic Candidate Still Holds Ad- vantage With the Count in Thpee Division COmpleted-FOurth Being Counted Today.

Private advices received by The Prospector from Juneau, are to the effect that the Canvassing Board at Juneau has finished its work, and that the election of Charles Sulzer as Del egate to Congress from Alaska has been confirmed. 1t is not stated what Mir. Sulzer's plurality is, but from fig ures kept by The PrOspector, it is es- timated to be between 35 and 45.
 The Canvassing Board had finished its labOrs last evening with Three Di- visions, and started on the Fourth this morning. Few errors have been found. and many precincts challenged by friends of both candidates have been passed, so it is believed there can be no question of Mr. Sulzer's receiv- ing a Certificate of Election from the Board.
 The Bristol Bay precincts will prOb- ably fail to arrive in time to be in- cluded in the returns, as the stcam- ship bearing them went outside from COrtiOva to Seattle and did not call at Juneau on her way down. These re- turns will probably not reach Juneau before the latter part of next week, too late to be counted by either side.
 It is reported that Delegate Wick ersham will not contest the seating of Congressman Sulzer, as he realizes the useleSsness of such cOnetst.

GOOD EFFECTS OF DIPPING
ARE ALREADY FELT
Cattle Dippin gis Making Possible
the Unrestricted Interstate

Shipments.
As a concrete evidence of what the
,ck eradication work is doing for the
cattle raisers of jefferson Davis par
ish, MIR. A. r. McBurney shipped from
Welsh last Monday 1910 head of stock
cattle to Houston, Texas,
The stOckmen have compiled with
all Of the State and Federal laws and
shipments of cattle from this pc mt
to any section Of the United States
are therefore unrestricted. This item,
by itself, fully repays the s,ockmen
for the trouble they are put to in
dipping their stock Heretofore it has
been necessary to quarantine all in
terstate shipments, and the losses at
the quarantine stations have been
very heavy. The prices secured for
tick free cattle are also much better.
The cattle shipped by Mr.. McBur-
ney were given their second dipping
at the vat located at the stock pen,
and then loaded into disinfected cars.
The dipping process was watched by
a number of interested spectators, in

manifest to the dipping regulations,
but this is mostly from misunder-

In almost every instance the farmers
and stockmen of the parish are put

regarding tick eradication. They re-
